WEBVTT - Inspiration from Buddha to Leonardo De Vinci 

0:00:02.160 --> 0:00:06.640
<v Speaker 1>Welcome everyone to this Sunday Morning run. It is Sunday,

0:00:06.680 --> 0:00:11.840
<v Speaker 1>September seventh, and we are hoping to get your Sunday

0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:14.160
<v Speaker 1>started with some inspiration. We like to go over our

0:00:14.240 --> 0:00:17.440
<v Speaker 1>quotes of the day from our morning run, and we're

0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:21.360
<v Speaker 1>going to begin with Monday and a quote that actually

0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:25.520
<v Speaker 1>is simple, but I think very powerful. It's from Neil

0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Donald Walsh and he said life begins at the end

0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:33.760
<v Speaker 1>of your comfort zone. What do you think about that? DJ?

0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:36.040
<v Speaker 2>Neil donald Walsh.

0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:38.479
<v Speaker 1>You know, I get a lot of these from authors.

0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:43.680
<v Speaker 1>Authors are apparently really good with words, and apparently they're

0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:47.159
<v Speaker 1>really motivating. So I've found authors I've never heard of

0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:49.600
<v Speaker 1>before suddenly popping up when I go and look for

0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:52.120
<v Speaker 1>quotes that are motivating. And this one was something that

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 1>really jumped out at me.

0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:58.160
<v Speaker 3>What kind of an author was Neil I'm going to

0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:02.440
<v Speaker 3>have because I'm trying to get I'm only asking as

0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:04.200
<v Speaker 3>a matter of you know, I'm sorry that I shouldn't

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:05.720
<v Speaker 3>have done that, idn't There's not a problem.

0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:07.200
<v Speaker 2>No, I can pop it up right now.

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:13.520
<v Speaker 1>But he is actually a He is of the religious

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:17.120
<v Speaker 1>He was Catholic, and he talks about he has a

0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:21.120
<v Speaker 1>series of books called Conversations with God. He's also an actor.

0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:24.119
<v Speaker 1>He's also a screenwriter. He's eighty one years old. He's

0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 1>from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. But he has a bunch of books

0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:31.479
<v Speaker 1>about friendship with God, conversations with God, communion with God.

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:32.800
<v Speaker 2>So this is he is.

0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:37.160
<v Speaker 1>He is a religious based author. And you know, it's

0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:41.680
<v Speaker 1>just interesting to hear his his quote that had nothing

0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:43.880
<v Speaker 1>to do with religion or nothing. I would never have

0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:45.559
<v Speaker 1>thought that he had religious connections.

0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:49.200
<v Speaker 3>What don't we all, I mean, everybody listening right now,

0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:53.080
<v Speaker 3>aren't we all trying to get comfortable? Yes, no one

0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 3>has a desire to be uneasy, because that seems counterintuitive.

0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:02.000
<v Speaker 3>Nobody wants that. You all want to be comfortable. How

0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:04.920
<v Speaker 3>terrible is that? And what I mean by that is

0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:08.239
<v Speaker 3>where do you grow? I mean, we know this now.

0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:11.160
<v Speaker 3>You have to live enough life, but you just simply

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:19.400
<v Speaker 3>cannot get better. You can't improve, you can't you can't

0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:25.160
<v Speaker 3>win without discomfort. You have to be uncomfortable. It is required,

0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:28.480
<v Speaker 3>and so it's just in our minds. We're all seeking

0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.440
<v Speaker 3>a life of particular ease, if you will. But yes,

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:34.239
<v Speaker 3>I love what this author did say and how he

0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:38.200
<v Speaker 3>put it so simplistically. But that is where the living begins.

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:41.080
<v Speaker 3>There is where the adventure begins. There's where the growth is.

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.119
<v Speaker 3>Wherever you have been uncomfortable.

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, think about any Olympian, any just think

0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:49.840
<v Speaker 1>about even physical discomfort. I think he's talking about a

0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:51.400
<v Speaker 1>lot of things. But even if you looked at it

0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:54.359
<v Speaker 1>from that place, you don't get to be excellent. You

0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:57.000
<v Speaker 1>don't get to be at the top of your game

0:02:57.080 --> 0:03:01.720
<v Speaker 1>unless you've been physically uncomfortable, whether you training and making

0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:03.000
<v Speaker 1>your body what it can be.

0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:04.840
<v Speaker 2>But your mind and your heart are the same.

0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:08.520
<v Speaker 1>And it's only when we're uncomfortable that we go when

0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.359
<v Speaker 1>we seek help, and we seek advice, and we try

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:14.280
<v Speaker 1>to find a better way, whether it's through therapy or

0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:16.880
<v Speaker 1>through leaning on a friend. But you start to realize

0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.680
<v Speaker 1>what I'm doing isn't working, and that's why I have

0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.520
<v Speaker 1>to grow. And so yes, I agree, whether you're pushing

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:26.720
<v Speaker 1>yourself in any way mentally, spiritually, physically, it kind of

0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:29.959
<v Speaker 1>almost takes you getting uncomfortable before you're willing to change

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.880
<v Speaker 1>and willing to do something differently or better or push

0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:34.840
<v Speaker 1>through the pain to get to the other side. So

0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:38.440
<v Speaker 1>I love that life begins at the end of your

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:41.760
<v Speaker 1>comfort zone. That's when you're living. Otherwise you're just kind

0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:42.720
<v Speaker 1>of existing.

0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.440
<v Speaker 3>Don't we say that about relationships even when we're what

0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:48.840
<v Speaker 3>is the thing? You get? You have an awful conversation

0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:52.080
<v Speaker 3>and then it leads to a breakthrough, right, and now

0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:54.760
<v Speaker 3>everything is okay, and now we're on the other side

0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:57.680
<v Speaker 3>of something because we had to be uncomfortable first. Yes,

0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 3>it's yes, it's counter into it what we're supposed to

0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:04.840
<v Speaker 3>seek discomfort, but it is necessary.

0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:08.320
<v Speaker 1>It's a nice reminder when you are uncomfortable, that you're

0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:12.320
<v Speaker 1>living and that you're growing, and that you're going to

0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:15.200
<v Speaker 1>do something about it. And I just it's nice to know,

0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:18.800
<v Speaker 1>just to remember life begins at the end of your

0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:19.360
<v Speaker 1>comfort zone.

0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.560
<v Speaker 2>All right, we're going to move on next to the

0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:23.760
<v Speaker 2>uh the age.

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.760
<v Speaker 1>Old quote, this one coming from Buddha and again a

0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:32.080
<v Speaker 1>very simple quote but so powerful. Buddha says, this be

0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:37.559
<v Speaker 1>where you are, otherwise you will miss your life. Ain't

0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:40.240
<v Speaker 1>that true? And aren't we a lot of times somewhere

0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:41.280
<v Speaker 1>other than where we are?

0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:47.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, this is silly. I don't know why I'm having these.

0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.320
<v Speaker 3>It's maybe because we're a little loopy. We've been up

0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:52.640
<v Speaker 3>a little while. As we were recording this and had

0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:59.240
<v Speaker 3>a good, nice brunch. I'm thinking about Eddie Murphy in

0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:02.359
<v Speaker 3>raw stand up, and people are getting a little insight

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:04.240
<v Speaker 3>into my mindset. You have to deal with this all

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:08.480
<v Speaker 3>day long with me. Every scenario that comes before us,

0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:11.520
<v Speaker 3>I can come up with a movie line or a

0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:13.040
<v Speaker 3>stand up comedians line.

0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:15.279
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes you say things to me and it feels a

0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:17.560
<v Speaker 1>little harsh or a cerviic and you have to follow

0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:20.560
<v Speaker 1>up with that's a movie line. I'm actually quoting a

0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:23.039
<v Speaker 1>movie right now. Would you do often? At least once

0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:23.360
<v Speaker 1>a day?

0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:26.440
<v Speaker 3>Okay, this is gonna sound ridiculous to you, because I

0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:28.839
<v Speaker 3>don't think I've watched this in thirty plus a years.

0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.039
<v Speaker 3>As a kid, I used to sneak and watch Eddie

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:32.880
<v Speaker 3>Murphy raw at the house.

0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 2>I can see why you had to sneak it.

0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:36.039
<v Speaker 3>I'm not supposed to be watching this, of course. Okay,

0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:39.400
<v Speaker 3>he's saying something outlanded, yes he was, But something he

0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:43.160
<v Speaker 3>said in there. He was talking about a man and

0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:46.080
<v Speaker 3>a woman breaking up, and a man asking his woman

0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.479
<v Speaker 3>where she's going? Well, where are you going to be?

0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:50.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna be where I'm at?

0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:55.279
<v Speaker 3>It was the line. Yeah, So with this quote, where

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.440
<v Speaker 3>are you going? To be where are you? You need

0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:01.080
<v Speaker 3>to be where you at is essentially.

0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:04.280
<v Speaker 2>That's what said, is not quite the same way, not like.

0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:07.760
<v Speaker 3>Eddie, I'm an be where I'm at. Why can't we

0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:10.159
<v Speaker 3>ever do that? Just be where you are?

0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Because we're thinking about what we should have done, what

0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:14.240
<v Speaker 1>we could have done, and what we need to do,

0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:16.160
<v Speaker 1>and what we're supposed to do and what we're supposed

0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:18.080
<v Speaker 1>to like and what what was that we said we

0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.760
<v Speaker 1>were going to do. Yeah, we're never exactly where we are,

0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:24.040
<v Speaker 1>and that's why we're miserable. That's why we're suffering, because

0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:27.200
<v Speaker 1>when you are actually present, you are being childlike we

0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:30.560
<v Speaker 1>today actually at brunch, we're watching kids skip and play.

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:35.479
<v Speaker 1>They are they are light, they are free, they are

0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:37.960
<v Speaker 1>having fun because you know what they're not doing thinking

0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:41.719
<v Speaker 1>about yesterday or tomorrow. They're actually exactly where they are,

0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.760
<v Speaker 1>and that is what the goal is. So yeah, it's

0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:46.599
<v Speaker 1>just if you can, if we can just wake ourselves

0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:50.480
<v Speaker 1>up and remember I love just watching kids. They remind

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:52.720
<v Speaker 1>me more than anyone to be present.

0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:55.440
<v Speaker 3>You know, It's funny you were and I'm sure I

0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:56.920
<v Speaker 3>was going to stop you in the middle there, because

0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:59.599
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure some adults were listening to you now and say, well, yeah,

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:03.080
<v Speaker 3>those don't have bills to bay Edel's get And yes, true,

0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.320
<v Speaker 3>that's that's fine, But damn if that's our response.

0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:08.680
<v Speaker 1>But you're not paying your bills when you're you know,

0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:12.240
<v Speaker 1>like thinking about your bills. Right when I'm at lunch,

0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:15.080
<v Speaker 1>I should just be at lunch and actually enjoy whatever

0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:17.280
<v Speaker 1>is around me. Because the thing is we think, oh,

0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:19.760
<v Speaker 1>if we're not worrying or thinking about something, that somehow

0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:22.440
<v Speaker 1>it's not getting done, you're not actually getting anything done

0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:26.320
<v Speaker 1>worrying or thinking about it. So that's just a reminder, Buddha,

0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:27.640
<v Speaker 1>thank you.

0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:30.840
<v Speaker 2>You know how many years ago, thousands of years ago.

0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:33.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't need I don't have a concept of that.

0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:37.480
<v Speaker 1>Okay, the next one comes from an unknown source, but

0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:39.480
<v Speaker 1>I love it all the same. And we've all heard

0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:43.520
<v Speaker 1>versions of this, but again, a good reminder. Stop being

0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:47.920
<v Speaker 1>afraid of what could go wrong and start being excited

0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:49.640
<v Speaker 1>about what could go right.

0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:52.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but when you do that, you're setting yourself up

0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:57.760
<v Speaker 3>for right, for failure, for disappointment. I'm only saying that

0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:00.440
<v Speaker 3>as a matter of that's what people often do. We

0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:03.120
<v Speaker 3>don't want to think about the upside, we don't want

0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:07.320
<v Speaker 3>to think, well, what if this first state really goes well,

0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:12.000
<v Speaker 3>we'd rather temper our expectations so that we're not so disappointed.

0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:15.600
<v Speaker 3>Why I said it all the time, No, I'm going

0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:20.280
<v Speaker 3>to expect the absolute best. I am going to hope

0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:23.720
<v Speaker 3>for the absolute best. Why not have the high expectation.

0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:27.600
<v Speaker 1>I actually think some of the most fun parts of

0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:31.880
<v Speaker 1>something new, whether it's a vacation or a new job,

0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:35.679
<v Speaker 1>or going on a new date or whatever it like,

0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.920
<v Speaker 1>the anticipation of something is sometimes a lot more fun

0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:39.840
<v Speaker 1>than the actual.

0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:40.240
<v Speaker 2>Experience of it.

0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:43.120
<v Speaker 1>So why not go ahead and think positively and be

0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.559
<v Speaker 1>excited about it because at least you had those moments

0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:48.440
<v Speaker 1>of joy. Even if it doesn't hold up or it

0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:50.640
<v Speaker 1>doesn't live up to what you thought, at least you

0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:52.880
<v Speaker 1>had those moments thinking it might, and then maybe the

0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:53.320
<v Speaker 1>next time.

0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:54.320
<v Speaker 2>You can also keep.

0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:57.840
<v Speaker 1>That same positivity because there's nothing good that comes out

0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:01.800
<v Speaker 1>of fear of things going wrong. It doesn't change, it

0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.480
<v Speaker 1>doesn't stop things from going wrong. It just makes you

0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:08.679
<v Speaker 1>miserable anticipating it. So I love this. I don't think

0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:13.600
<v Speaker 1>there's anything wrong about having excited expectations.

0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:13.560
<v Speaker 2>Of what could be.

0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:17.480
<v Speaker 3>But so to your I think you put it best

0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:22.920
<v Speaker 3>in explaining getting ready for whatever the thing is, and

0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:24.480
<v Speaker 3>you think it can go right, it can go wrong,

0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.600
<v Speaker 3>and you stress yourself out thinking it can go wrong

0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:33.120
<v Speaker 3>before the thing even happens. That's not fun. But what

0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:35.319
<v Speaker 3>if you were to get excited about it and use

0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:36.840
<v Speaker 3>that time to be you can make that.

0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:38.079
<v Speaker 2>Part fun exactly.

0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:40.240
<v Speaker 3>So even when once the thing comes, just gonna be

0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:42.640
<v Speaker 3>what it is, you guys, we'll have a good time

0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.520
<v Speaker 3>getting ready for its miserable.

0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:47.719
<v Speaker 2>Getting ready for exactly because it might still go wrong. Yeah,

0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:50.400
<v Speaker 2>but you'll deal with it when it does. And in

0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:54.000
<v Speaker 2>the meantime, why don't you go ahead and manifest it to.

0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:56.439
<v Speaker 1>Go Well, that's how I look at it, all right,

0:09:57.000 --> 0:10:01.520
<v Speaker 1>all right? This next one, it comes from a Pulitzer

0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Prize winning author. Another author his name is Carl Bard.

0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Did not know who that was either, But I'm actually

0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:09.760
<v Speaker 1>having fun going in and learning who some of these

0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:14.920
<v Speaker 1>folks are who say these really interesting, provocative things sometimes

0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:19.119
<v Speaker 1>or just simple things oftentimes that are just thought provoking

0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:24.160
<v Speaker 1>and game changing. So Carl Bard said this, though no

0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:27.240
<v Speaker 1>one can go back and make a brand new start,

0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:32.240
<v Speaker 1>anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.

0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:37.840
<v Speaker 2>That's awesome. So even something as simple as something happened.

0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:39.640
<v Speaker 1>In your day that turned things negative.

0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:40.120
<v Speaker 2>You know what.

0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Okay, fine, you can't go back and change it, can't

0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:45.640
<v Speaker 1>start over. But what I can do is, right now,

0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:49.360
<v Speaker 1>in this moment, decide to have a brand new ending.

0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:51.920
<v Speaker 1>We all get to decide that at any point during

0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:54.079
<v Speaker 1>the day, when we first wake up, in the middle

0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.280
<v Speaker 1>of the day, at the end of the night, whatever

0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:59.520
<v Speaker 1>anything in between. It doesn't matter whatever happens that didn't

0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:01.840
<v Speaker 1>happen the way you wanted it to. We can start

0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:05.560
<v Speaker 1>anew right now and create a different ending that's.

0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:08.319
<v Speaker 2>In all of our power. That's so cool to think

0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:09.000
<v Speaker 2>about it like that.

0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:13.080
<v Speaker 3>And it's tough to keep that in contact well, the

0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:17.120
<v Speaker 3>right perspective because something you did two weeks ago, two

0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:21.880
<v Speaker 3>months ago, two years ago, a beating yourself up about right, Yeah,

0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:25.160
<v Speaker 3>you're still beating yourself up about it. You're still word like, wow,

0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:27.160
<v Speaker 3>I should have done I could have done that differently,

0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:31.280
<v Speaker 3>if only I'd done that differently. But the story is

0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:33.920
<v Speaker 3>like this moment. It can be different from this moment

0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:38.520
<v Speaker 3>moving forward. So yeah, I love the simple way. Whoever

0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:40.959
<v Speaker 3>this author you said was this is the unknown.

0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:41.960
<v Speaker 2>No, this is Carl Bard.

0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:46.959
<v Speaker 1>He is a Pulitzer Prize winning author, so he actually

0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:50.480
<v Speaker 1>someone yeah, who we can all lean on.

0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:51.680
<v Speaker 2>With some words of wisdom.

0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:56.800
<v Speaker 1>So yes, thank you, we appreciate that, Carl. Once again,

0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:59.960
<v Speaker 1>though no one can go back and make a brand

0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:03.640
<v Speaker 1>new start, anyone can start from now and make a

0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:07.680
<v Speaker 1>brand new ending. So take that with you because that

0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:10.520
<v Speaker 1>is very empowering. Love that, Carlbard, Thank you so much.

0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:12.800
<v Speaker 1>All right, So when we come back, we are going

0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:17.080
<v Speaker 1>to hear from another author surprisingly who's going to tell

0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:20.760
<v Speaker 1>us where we can focus our energy. And then for

0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:24.280
<v Speaker 1>our bonus quote of this Sunday Morning, Ron, we're going

0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:28.480
<v Speaker 1>to hear from Leonardo da Vinci. Before we go to break,

0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:30.920
<v Speaker 1>I have to tell you about new leggings I've been

0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:33.920
<v Speaker 1>living in lately. They're from this brand called Tona, and

0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:37.000
<v Speaker 1>fun fact here, they were actually designed by the same

0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:40.520
<v Speaker 1>visionary behind Lululemon, So from that alone, you already know

0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.280
<v Speaker 1>they're going to be pretty good. These leggings feel like

0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:47.760
<v Speaker 1>a second skin. They're super flattering, super comfortable, and somehow

0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:50.720
<v Speaker 1>still supportive. I've been wearing them on my warning runs

0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:55.240
<v Speaker 1>and they've quickly become my everyday lounging leggings. Too, and

0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:57.760
<v Speaker 1>here's what makes them even better. Every pair you buy

0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:00.840
<v Speaker 1>helps fund a mental health counseling set for a teen

0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:04.320
<v Speaker 1>in need. Tona's on a mission to end teen suicide

0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:07.960
<v Speaker 1>and self harm, which we think is so important and incredible,

0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:10.440
<v Speaker 1>So we've partnered with Tona to give you twenty percent

0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:14.320

<v Speaker 1>free shipping. Welcome back everyone to this Sunday morning run

0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:33.720
<v Speaker 1>where we hopefully give you a little inspiration to start

0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:37.520
<v Speaker 1>your week. And on this Sunday we will begin with

0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:41.640
<v Speaker 1>another author. His name is Neil Bearingham, again an unknown

0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:43.599
<v Speaker 1>for me. I did not know who Neil Baringham is.

0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:45.640
<v Speaker 1>We can get into that in just a moment, but

0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:50.840
<v Speaker 1>this is what Neil had to say that really gave

0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:54.400
<v Speaker 1>me a new beginning on a Friday. The grass is

0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:59.360
<v Speaker 1>greenest where you water. It sounds very simple, but we

0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:01.920
<v Speaker 1>always talk about the grass is greener, and we talk

0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:04.719
<v Speaker 1>about envy, we talk about jealousy. But if we can

0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.280
<v Speaker 1>actually take that and turn it on its head and

0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:09.880
<v Speaker 1>realize we actually have the power to make anything that

0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:14.800
<v Speaker 1>we love be something beautiful, we can invest in something

0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:17.200
<v Speaker 1>and make it great and make it not that you

0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:17.840
<v Speaker 1>want to make.

0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:20.000
<v Speaker 2>It the envy of everyone else. But this is the.

0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Notion of what you appreciate, appreciates. The grass is greener

0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:24.360
<v Speaker 1>where you water it.

0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:25.800
<v Speaker 2>I love that quote.

0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:28.880
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, they got some nice grass over there. Everybody,

0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:30.840
<v Speaker 3>you see what everybody we say grass. But it could

0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:36.640
<v Speaker 3>be somebody's car, somebody's job, somebody's wife, somebody does, somebody's family.

0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:42.080
<v Speaker 3>All well, so whatever, it may be anything that somebody

0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.320
<v Speaker 3>can be jealous of. You look and you're jealous of

0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:47.680
<v Speaker 3>what somebody else has. Why aren't you cultivating? Why aren't

0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:49.400
<v Speaker 3>you taking care of your own things? Look, we all

0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:51.200
<v Speaker 3>get caught up in that, of course, sure, but I

0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:55.520
<v Speaker 3>like the again, the simple way that this author put it.

0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:58.640
<v Speaker 3>What if you just took care of your own stuff?

0:14:59.520 --> 0:14:59.680
<v Speaker 1>You know?

0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:00.400
<v Speaker 2>It's funny.

0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:04.800
<v Speaker 1>So there is a I'm looking at a cartoon where

0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:09.880
<v Speaker 1>they were taking what this quote said and showed a man.

0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:10.760
<v Speaker 2>Standing on a.

0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Like a lawn of grass that's dead, and looking at

0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:18.680
<v Speaker 1>a lawn of grass that's green. It says what people want,

0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:21.160
<v Speaker 1>pointing to the green grass, and then it said what

0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:24.200
<v Speaker 1>people don't see, and it sees the guy on the

0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:28.400
<v Speaker 1>lawn that's dead and brown and looking at the grass,

0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:30.160
<v Speaker 1>and this is what people don't see, and it shows

0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:33.600
<v Speaker 1>the man watering his grass and like working on his

0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:36.680
<v Speaker 1>grass and making it beautiful. People just think people get

0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:39.600
<v Speaker 1>lucky or people just have things. But actually, when you

0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:41.720
<v Speaker 1>recognize that if you work for something and you actually

0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:44.040
<v Speaker 1>take care of something, that's where the beauty and the

0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:46.520
<v Speaker 1>joy and the love and like, you get something worth

0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:48.080
<v Speaker 1>something when you put into it.

0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:49.600
<v Speaker 2>And I think we all.

0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Just you know, it's just it's a nice reminder that

0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.880
<v Speaker 1>if you put effort into something, it is going to grow.

0:15:57.440 --> 0:15:59.480
<v Speaker 1>If you take care of something, it is going to

0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:01.960
<v Speaker 1>be beautiful, including relationships.

0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:02.760
<v Speaker 2>All right.

0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Bonus quote. This one comes to us from Leonardo da Vinci.

0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:07.960
<v Speaker 1>You haven't heard this one yet, have you.

0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:11.119
<v Speaker 3>I intentionally do not look ahead.

0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Of times, all right, So I'll let you respond to this.

0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:21.160
<v Speaker 1>The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions.

0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:26.560
<v Speaker 1>The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions.

0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:27.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, what do you make of that?

0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:33.480
<v Speaker 1>So my takeaway from this was that we think this judgment,

0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:35.920
<v Speaker 1>it's about judgment, and we think we're right, we think

0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:39.120
<v Speaker 1>we're better. We have our opinion about what should be,

0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:41.920
<v Speaker 1>what could be, and then we suffer because it isn't

0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:43.120
<v Speaker 1>what we think it should be.

0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:46.200
<v Speaker 2>What do you take from this quote?

0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:49.040
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I had to just break it down a little bit.

0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:50.920
<v Speaker 3>I had to h and I pull it up on

0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:53.360
<v Speaker 3>the computer so I could actually see it again. I'm

0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:59.040
<v Speaker 3>hearing it for the first time from you. You're deceived, right,

0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:03.760
<v Speaker 3>We're usually about deception, usually deceived by something or some

0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:09.399
<v Speaker 3>outside force. But that deception usually has to do with

0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:13.359
<v Speaker 3>right altering your idea of what you already see, believe,

0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:19.199
<v Speaker 3>or think. And so to think that most of the

0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:24.479
<v Speaker 3>time the alteration of our perception of what's going on

0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:27.359
<v Speaker 3>has really just formed in our own heads of what

0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:31.320
<v Speaker 3>we believe we're seeing. So to this the idea. It

0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:32.760
<v Speaker 3>took me a second to break it down. But yes,

0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:36.720
<v Speaker 3>we deceive ourselves all the time. I you know, I

0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:40.200
<v Speaker 3>talk to you about this all the time, deception because

0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:42.880
<v Speaker 3>you have an opinion about what you think I might

0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:47.560
<v Speaker 3>mean by what I said. You're not being deceived by

0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:51.840
<v Speaker 3>anything I said. You're being deceived by an opinion of something.

0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:54.280
<v Speaker 3>So I it took me a second to break this down.

0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:56.440
<v Speaker 3>I need to see it in front of me. But yeah,

0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:59.560
<v Speaker 3>that's dead on and this was how many years ago?

0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:02.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't I there was a reason why

0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:05.880
<v Speaker 1>I had a journalism major because math was not my strength.

0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:08.159
<v Speaker 1>But Leonardo da Vinci and I do think that is

0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:10.720
<v Speaker 1>a good point, Like we all also, you could, you could,

0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:14.040
<v Speaker 1>this could be even deeper than that, kind of taking

0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:16.400
<v Speaker 1>off what you said. It's we all create our own

0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:19.600
<v Speaker 1>narratives to fit how we're feeling. Right, So we are

0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:23.000
<v Speaker 1>deceiving ourselves because we we in every the lens through

0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:25.720
<v Speaker 1>which we remember things or see things or hear things,

0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:28.840
<v Speaker 1>it's not what actually happened, it's what we thought or

0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:32.760
<v Speaker 1>we perceived to be happening to justify maybe how we're feeling,

0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:36.760
<v Speaker 1>or at least to justify how we're reacting. And so yeah,

0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:40.920
<v Speaker 1>we're our own worst enemies, period, but our own opinions. Yeah,

0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:44.000
<v Speaker 1>if we can open up our minds in our hearts

0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:47.959
<v Speaker 1>to recognize that we see things, all of us hear things,

0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:53.080
<v Speaker 1>see things, and interpret things through our own lenses that

0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:56.640
<v Speaker 1>typically fit or at least we try to have.

0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:59.120
<v Speaker 2>Them fit our feelings. So that makes a lot of sense.

0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:03.200
<v Speaker 1>The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinion.

0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:05.720
<v Speaker 1>So Leonardo da Vinci, thank you very much.

0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:08.480
