1 00:00:00,750 --> 00:00:03,090 Speaker 1: I hope you and your family are having a great summer. 2 00:00:03,310 --> 00:00:05,689 Speaker 1: Victoria and I are praying for you, believing for God's 3 00:00:05,769 --> 00:00:08,610 Speaker 1: very best in your life. And it's always my pleasure 4 00:00:08,630 --> 00:00:10,490 Speaker 1: to be able to share a message with you. I 5 00:00:10,539 --> 00:00:12,459 Speaker 1: hope you're encouraged and inspired today. 6 00:00:13,100 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 2: Yes, we're excited to be alive today. 7 00:00:15,740 --> 00:00:16,100 Speaker 3: Amen. 8 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,640 Speaker 4: I just want to remind you that you are extraordinary. 9 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 4: Nobody wants to be ordinary, do they? We all want 10 00:00:24,180 --> 00:00:27,180 Speaker 4: to be extraordinary. We want to live an extraordinary life. 11 00:00:27,990 --> 00:00:31,010 Speaker 4: And I believe that's what Jesus said. He said, I 12 00:00:31,050 --> 00:00:34,030 Speaker 4: want to come to give you a life and a 13 00:00:34,130 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 4: life of abundance. See, he came so that we could 14 00:00:37,850 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 4: live an abundant life, an extraordinary life, an exceptional life. 15 00:00:43,180 --> 00:00:47,340 Speaker 4: God doesn't want us to live average, mediocre. He doesn't 16 00:00:47,420 --> 00:00:51,100 Speaker 4: want us to be ordinary in our thinking. He wants 17 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,380 Speaker 4: us to be extraordinary in our thinking. He wants us 18 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,230 Speaker 4: to expect more. to go for more, to strive for more, 19 00:00:58,610 --> 00:01:02,030 Speaker 4: to be the very best that we can be. Do 20 00:01:02,070 --> 00:01:04,630 Speaker 4: you know when you're the very best you can be today, 21 00:01:05,150 --> 00:01:11,050 Speaker 4: your tomorrow will be better? See, when you prepare for today, hey, 22 00:01:11,490 --> 00:01:17,390 Speaker 4: you'll be ready for the opportunities tomorrow. When preparation meets opportunity, 23 00:01:17,750 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 4: it's called success. So I want to encourage all of 24 00:01:21,980 --> 00:01:26,130 Speaker 4: us to not have just this ordinary mindset. but have 25 00:01:26,150 --> 00:01:33,350 Speaker 4: an extraordinary mindset. Expect to be full of joy, abundance, creativity, blessing. 26 00:01:34,030 --> 00:01:36,670 Speaker 4: You know, Joel was just saying to us earlier, and 27 00:01:36,709 --> 00:01:38,950 Speaker 4: I think it's something that we need to hear when 28 00:01:38,990 --> 00:01:40,610 Speaker 4: we come to the house of the Lord, and we 29 00:01:40,630 --> 00:01:44,190 Speaker 4: need to express to ourself that we're a masterpiece. 30 00:01:44,990 --> 00:01:47,780 Speaker 2: We didn't just come off of an assembly line. We're 31 00:01:47,810 --> 00:01:48,470 Speaker 2: an original. 32 00:01:49,250 --> 00:01:54,260 Speaker 4: We have callings and giftings that are matchless. See, only 33 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,220 Speaker 4: you can do what God's called you to do. Only 34 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,340 Speaker 4: you were created to be you. You weren't created to 35 00:02:01,380 --> 00:02:04,660 Speaker 4: be anyone else. You weren't created to copy anyone else. 36 00:02:05,060 --> 00:02:08,730 Speaker 4: You were designed uniquely you. So get this down in 37 00:02:08,750 --> 00:02:12,309 Speaker 4: your heart. Get this down in your spirit today and say, 38 00:02:12,370 --> 00:02:14,070 Speaker 4: I'm tired of living ordinary. 39 00:02:14,389 --> 00:02:15,190 Speaker 2: I'm tired of. 40 00:02:15,169 --> 00:02:19,570 Speaker 4: Living just mundane. I'm going to start having this extraordinary mindset. 41 00:02:20,570 --> 00:02:24,070 Speaker 4: You say, but Victoria, my life is just routine. 42 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,980 Speaker 2: You know what? All of our lives are routine. 43 00:02:29,500 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 4: Most of life is doing the same thing over and 44 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 4: over again. We get up in the morning. We go 45 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:43,100 Speaker 4: to work. We do our jobs. We come home. We 46 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,829 Speaker 4: wash the dishes. We take care of the kids. We 47 00:02:46,870 --> 00:02:50,790 Speaker 4: cook the dinner. We mow the lawn. We pay the bills. 48 00:02:51,610 --> 00:02:55,270 Speaker 4: Most of our day is routine. We go to bed, 49 00:02:55,950 --> 00:02:58,470 Speaker 4: get up in the morning, and do it all over again. 50 00:02:59,950 --> 00:03:03,050 Speaker 4: But it is our job to not get sucked into 51 00:03:03,090 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 4: that routine, but to cause our life to produce extraordinary 52 00:03:08,500 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 4: in the routine. You see, you were designed to produce 53 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 4: extraordinary in the routines of life. Think about this just 54 00:03:18,820 --> 00:03:21,980 Speaker 4: a minute. Anything that you do well, you have to 55 00:03:22,020 --> 00:03:26,980 Speaker 4: do often. And it is called routine. So we have 56 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,420 Speaker 4: to know that when we're in the routine, we're in 57 00:03:29,460 --> 00:03:32,580 Speaker 4: the difficulties, we're in the challenges, all the things that 58 00:03:32,620 --> 00:03:37,340 Speaker 4: we all face, that there's extraordinary being produced. Because I 59 00:03:37,380 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 4: believe when we understand that we're not average and our 60 00:03:40,930 --> 00:03:44,430 Speaker 4: challenges weren't here to make us suffer, they're here to 61 00:03:44,470 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 4: bring something out of us. Our difficulties are here to 62 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 4: bring something out of us. Our routine is here to 63 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:51,700 Speaker 4: bring something. 64 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,490 Speaker 2: Out of us. I think about all the years that 65 00:03:55,530 --> 00:03:59,470 Speaker 2: I've loved my family. My children were born. I took 66 00:03:59,510 --> 00:04:01,690 Speaker 2: care of them. I changed their diapers. I fed them. 67 00:04:02,410 --> 00:04:05,089 Speaker 4: I gave them a bath. I taught them. I did 68 00:04:05,150 --> 00:04:08,110 Speaker 4: everything I knew to do day after day after day. 69 00:04:08,550 --> 00:04:10,870 Speaker 4: I've tried to be a good helpmate to my husband. 70 00:04:11,230 --> 00:04:13,610 Speaker 4: I make sure he gets what he likes. I cook 71 00:04:13,650 --> 00:04:15,850 Speaker 4: him dinner. I tell him what to do. 72 00:04:15,870 --> 00:04:17,950 Speaker 2: I give him vitamins. 73 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 4: I do my very best, even when they don't appreciate 74 00:04:24,580 --> 00:04:27,580 Speaker 4: it day in and day out. 75 00:04:28,589 --> 00:04:29,170 Speaker 2: But can I. 76 00:04:29,190 --> 00:04:32,849 Speaker 4: Tell you, even when they don't appreciate it and even 77 00:04:32,910 --> 00:04:36,670 Speaker 4: when it's difficult, do you know what the routine has 78 00:04:36,710 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 4: done for me? It's given me extraordinary. It is my extraordinary. 79 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:48,100 Speaker 4: What is your extraordinary? I can see my life because 80 00:04:48,220 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 4: I was routine and faithful with what God gave me. 81 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 4: I now have extraordinary in my life. I think about 82 00:04:57,330 --> 00:05:01,110 Speaker 4: challenges and difficulties I've faced. Many times I think, I 83 00:05:01,150 --> 00:05:01,870 Speaker 4: just want to quit. 84 00:05:01,930 --> 00:05:04,909 Speaker 2: Is this even worth it? Is it even matter? 85 00:05:05,790 --> 00:05:10,210 Speaker 4: But I have learned when I've pressed through day after day, 86 00:05:10,630 --> 00:05:16,700 Speaker 4: those challenges day after day, it produced extraordinary lessons in 87 00:05:16,740 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 4: my life. Listen, when you are faithful, with what God 88 00:05:21,100 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 4: has placed in your hand, and you don't allow it 89 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,610 Speaker 4: to become mundane and ordinary and give it just half 90 00:05:27,650 --> 00:05:30,049 Speaker 4: of what you could give it, you know what you're doing? 91 00:05:30,290 --> 00:05:35,030 Speaker 4: You're creating extraordinary. You're creating something to talk about tomorrow. 92 00:05:35,810 --> 00:05:38,850 Speaker 4: You see, sometimes it's not always easy to talk about it, 93 00:05:39,210 --> 00:05:41,910 Speaker 4: but if you'll stick with it, you'll have something to 94 00:05:41,990 --> 00:05:46,190 Speaker 4: talk about. You'll have something to be proud of. So 95 00:05:46,380 --> 00:05:49,300 Speaker 4: even in the difficult times, I want to encourage you 96 00:05:49,750 --> 00:05:53,340 Speaker 4: to stay faithful. God is preparing you. 97 00:05:53,940 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 2: You are passing the tests. 98 00:05:56,140 --> 00:06:00,020 Speaker 4: He wants to give you greater opportunity, greater life, a 99 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,169 Speaker 4: greater destiny. 100 00:06:02,190 --> 00:06:04,070 Speaker 2: So we want to just live. 101 00:06:03,910 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 4: With purpose because I know how it feels. I'm preaching 102 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,300 Speaker 4: to myself today. I have to get up in the 103 00:06:09,339 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 4: morning and I have to say, today is a good day. 104 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 4: I've got good things in front of me. You know, 105 00:06:15,339 --> 00:06:17,659 Speaker 4: what you say to yourself, the moment you get up, 106 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 4: it's going to set the tone. 107 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 2: For your life. 108 00:06:20,260 --> 00:06:22,350 Speaker 4: So you've got to get this down in your heart. 109 00:06:22,970 --> 00:06:25,610 Speaker 4: Even when it's difficult, no matter what's going on, on 110 00:06:25,650 --> 00:06:30,810 Speaker 4: the other side of that difficulty is extraordinary, right? You 111 00:06:30,850 --> 00:06:34,430 Speaker 4: can all say with me today, I have seen the extraordinary. 112 00:06:35,050 --> 00:06:39,150 Speaker 4: You're right, it was worth putting my effort into. Even 113 00:06:39,210 --> 00:06:42,270 Speaker 4: when I didn't see where the routine was taking me, 114 00:06:42,740 --> 00:06:46,580 Speaker 4: I now see this extraordinary job I have. I now 115 00:06:46,700 --> 00:06:51,060 Speaker 4: see this extraordinary family I have. I now see an 116 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 4: extraordinary ministry that I have. You see, you may not 117 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 4: see where it's taking you all the time, but it 118 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:01,310 Speaker 4: will lead you to extraordinary. When Joel's father was pastor 119 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,190 Speaker 4: of Lakewood Church, in his latter years, I would come 120 00:07:04,230 --> 00:07:07,150 Speaker 4: and get him and take him to church. I remember 121 00:07:07,290 --> 00:07:09,190 Speaker 4: one time we were in the back getting ready for 122 00:07:09,250 --> 00:07:11,550 Speaker 4: church and he had a woman who did his hair 123 00:07:11,590 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 4: and his makeup for television because we would broadcast the 124 00:07:14,460 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 4: Sunday services. And when I was back there one morning, 125 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,340 Speaker 4: this young lady that did his hair looked at him 126 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,650 Speaker 4: and she said, Pastor Osteen, I have. 127 00:07:22,530 --> 00:07:23,500 Speaker 2: To tell you some news. 128 00:07:23,570 --> 00:07:26,820 Speaker 4: She said, my husband is being transferred to another state 129 00:07:26,860 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 4: for his job. And she said, this is going to 130 00:07:29,020 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 4: be the last time that I'm going to be able 131 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,100 Speaker 4: to do your hair and makeup. She said, I'm so 132 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,820 Speaker 4: sorry this came so quickly, but this is one of 133 00:07:35,860 --> 00:07:38,420 Speaker 4: those things where I just have to go. And I 134 00:07:38,460 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 4: remember him just kind of sitting there. He was looking 135 00:07:40,820 --> 00:07:42,630 Speaker 4: at her and I could just see a thousand things 136 00:07:42,690 --> 00:07:44,930 Speaker 4: going on in his head and he didn't know what 137 00:07:44,970 --> 00:07:45,410 Speaker 4: to say. 138 00:07:45,890 --> 00:07:46,610 Speaker 2: So he looked at me. 139 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 4: And he said, well, Victoria, he said, can you do 140 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:57,420 Speaker 4: my hair for TV on Sundays? I thought, I don't 141 00:07:57,460 --> 00:08:01,740 Speaker 4: have a cosmetology license. I'm not trained in this. Then 142 00:08:01,780 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 4: the next thing I know, they're both looking at me. 143 00:08:04,610 --> 00:08:07,370 Speaker 4: So I quickly just said, sure, I'll do it if 144 00:08:07,410 --> 00:08:10,830 Speaker 4: you trust me. Well, little did they know, I had 145 00:08:11,010 --> 00:08:14,310 Speaker 4: a little experience. When I was in junior high school, 146 00:08:14,370 --> 00:08:15,510 Speaker 4: I used to cut some of my. 147 00:08:15,470 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 2: Friend's hair and attempt at highlighting. But that day, I 148 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 2: was given a promotion. 149 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:27,210 Speaker 4: I was now the hairstylist for John Osteen Lakewood TV 150 00:08:27,270 --> 00:08:33,350 Speaker 4: television productions. My family, a lot of my mother's side 151 00:08:33,370 --> 00:08:36,329 Speaker 4: of the family lives in Georgia and they were preparing 152 00:08:36,410 --> 00:08:39,990 Speaker 4: a family reunion and they had made plans, gotten hotels, 153 00:08:40,050 --> 00:08:43,250 Speaker 4: gotten locations. They'd put a lot of work into it. 154 00:08:43,770 --> 00:08:45,340 Speaker 4: And they called me up and they gave me the 155 00:08:45,380 --> 00:08:46,820 Speaker 4: date and they said, listen, we're going to have the 156 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 4: best family reunion. 157 00:08:48,340 --> 00:08:50,020 Speaker 2: You got to be there. This is the date. 158 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 4: So I checked the date and it fell on a weekend. 159 00:08:54,059 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 4: And I said, look guys, I can't come on the weekend. 160 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,740 Speaker 4: I have to do my father-in-law's hair. And they were 161 00:09:01,780 --> 00:09:05,510 Speaker 4: like so disappointed. They were like, what? You can't come 162 00:09:05,570 --> 00:09:08,410 Speaker 4: and we've done all this planning. And I said, no, 163 00:09:08,490 --> 00:09:11,210 Speaker 4: I'm committed. We tape on Sunday and I have to 164 00:09:11,290 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 4: pick him up and I have to bring to the church. 165 00:09:13,390 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 2: I have to do his hair. Well, later on, I got. 166 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 4: Word that they were talking about me. I found out 167 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,170 Speaker 4: that they didn't think my job was very important. And 168 00:09:25,210 --> 00:09:28,410 Speaker 4: they said, I can't believe that's all she does in 169 00:09:28,429 --> 00:09:33,809 Speaker 4: the ministry. I think she should be doing more. You know, 170 00:09:34,410 --> 00:09:37,110 Speaker 4: they weren't trying to be mean. They just thought my 171 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,290 Speaker 4: job description should be different. 172 00:09:40,860 --> 00:09:42,900 Speaker 2: Well, you know what? That hurt my feelings. And I 173 00:09:42,940 --> 00:09:44,699 Speaker 2: got to thinking about it and I got a little 174 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 2: discouraged about it. But then I made a decision. I thought, 175 00:09:48,740 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 2: you know what? I'm going to let that go. 176 00:09:51,300 --> 00:09:53,829 Speaker 4: Because deep down on the inside of me, I hear, 177 00:09:54,210 --> 00:09:55,510 Speaker 4: be faithful in the small. 178 00:09:55,870 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 2: Be faithful in the small. Just be faithful in the small. 179 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 4: So I let that go and I decided to be 180 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 4: the best TV production hair person there has ever been. 181 00:10:09,300 --> 00:10:13,100 Speaker 4: So for several years, I'd pick my father-in-law up, bring 182 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 4: him to the church and get him TV ready. I 183 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,470 Speaker 4: was committed to that job. 184 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,970 Speaker 2: I was faithful. And in the routine of all. 185 00:10:21,910 --> 00:10:25,870 Speaker 4: Those Sunday mornings, all those weekends, I didn't realize that 186 00:10:25,910 --> 00:10:30,670 Speaker 4: I was building extraordinary into my life. You see, I 187 00:10:30,740 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 4: believe it built commitment in my life. I believe that 188 00:10:34,940 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 4: it was doing a work in me. It was causing 189 00:10:38,340 --> 00:10:42,490 Speaker 4: me to be able to understand the ministry life, giving 190 00:10:42,540 --> 00:10:46,350 Speaker 4: me vision. It was showing me what it took to 191 00:10:46,429 --> 00:10:50,050 Speaker 4: do this job. And I believe just through those years 192 00:10:50,210 --> 00:10:53,130 Speaker 4: of what some people may not have thought was important, 193 00:10:53,620 --> 00:10:55,319 Speaker 4: God did think it was important. 194 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 2: It was building extraordinary in me. And I believe that 195 00:11:00,660 --> 00:11:02,270 Speaker 2: I can do what I'm doing today. 196 00:11:02,710 --> 00:11:05,390 Speaker 4: I can be with my husband and help him push 197 00:11:05,410 --> 00:11:09,770 Speaker 4: this ministry forward because of the commitment and the faithfulness that. 198 00:11:09,690 --> 00:11:13,130 Speaker 2: I showed then. You see, in many ways, it prepared me. 199 00:11:16,050 --> 00:11:17,829 Speaker 2: So I want to encourage you today. 200 00:11:18,290 --> 00:11:25,010 Speaker 4: Don't let the definition of someone else's success determine your future. See, 201 00:11:25,050 --> 00:11:27,140 Speaker 4: someone might not think what you're doing. 202 00:11:26,980 --> 00:11:27,980 Speaker 2: Is very important. 203 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,630 Speaker 4: They may look down on it. They may not realize 204 00:11:32,929 --> 00:11:36,510 Speaker 4: what God is doing in your life. He is preparing 205 00:11:36,570 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 4: you for greater opportunity. You see, because someone doesn't see 206 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,140 Speaker 4: what you're doing doesn't mean that God doesn't see what 207 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,420 Speaker 4: you're doing. Just because they don't think it's important doesn't 208 00:11:48,460 --> 00:11:51,770 Speaker 4: mean God doesn't think it's important. And I'm telling you, 209 00:11:51,870 --> 00:11:57,070 Speaker 4: God blesses faithfulness. We have to pass this faithfulness test 210 00:11:57,410 --> 00:12:00,620 Speaker 4: if we're gonna go on to greater things. You know, 211 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,020 Speaker 4: one thing that I realize that really can reduce this 212 00:12:04,100 --> 00:12:08,420 Speaker 4: extraordinary life that God's given us down to ordinary is 213 00:12:08,470 --> 00:12:12,709 Speaker 4: when we compare ourselves. You know, we all know that 214 00:12:12,809 --> 00:12:15,650 Speaker 4: social media these days can make your life feel like 215 00:12:15,750 --> 00:12:19,309 Speaker 4: it's going nowhere. You look at these vacations, you look 216 00:12:19,330 --> 00:12:22,310 Speaker 4: at all the stuff these people are doing, they're highlight reel, 217 00:12:22,370 --> 00:12:26,430 Speaker 4: and you think, man, my life is just ordinary, routine. 218 00:12:26,830 --> 00:12:29,030 Speaker 4: I go to work, I come home, I go to work, 219 00:12:29,210 --> 00:12:31,690 Speaker 4: I come home, When do they have time to do 220 00:12:31,750 --> 00:12:35,490 Speaker 4: all this stuff? Well, little do we realize it took 221 00:12:35,550 --> 00:12:38,670 Speaker 4: them 29 tries just to get that picture right. 222 00:12:38,690 --> 00:12:40,429 Speaker 2: And then after. 223 00:12:40,250 --> 00:12:44,910 Speaker 4: They filtered it, corrected it, worked through it, then it 224 00:12:44,980 --> 00:12:45,719 Speaker 4: was perfect. 225 00:12:46,820 --> 00:12:47,980 Speaker 2: We know this, don't we? 226 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:53,330 Speaker 4: We cannot fall into the trap of comparing ourselves Because 227 00:12:53,370 --> 00:12:54,390 Speaker 4: we're originals. 228 00:12:54,790 --> 00:12:57,250 Speaker 2: We're masterpieces. We're one of a kind. 229 00:12:57,620 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 4: The assignments that you're called to do are distinct to 230 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 4: your calling. 231 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,460 Speaker 2: You fit your destiny. 232 00:13:06,140 --> 00:13:09,140 Speaker 4: No one else can do what you've been called to do. 233 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 4: Don't shrink your life down to mundane and ordinary. Stir 234 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 4: up the gifts of God within you. What do you 235 00:13:16,980 --> 00:13:19,380 Speaker 4: have in your hand that is going to be your 236 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 4: extraordinary tomorrow? 237 00:13:21,940 --> 00:13:25,740 Speaker 2: I encourage you just like I encourage myself.
