00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Welcome to Unbreakable Mental health podcast and today's Monday motivation.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: Today's motivation is about taking a sabbath. Now what do

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: I mean by that? And I'm going to go back

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: to the start of my career, my first eleven years,

5
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: when I was making nine four hundred and fifty bucks

6
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: a year, and what I decided to do during that

7
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: time is just be relentless and go after a full

8
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: time job. However long it took. Oh yeah, and it

9
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 1: took eleven years, but I decided I'm going to be

10
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: rejected along the way and accept it. Not that I

11
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: want to be rejected, but if I was going to

12
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: be rejected, I would accept it and keep going and

13
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: keep going and keep going and keep going. And people

14
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: ask me, how did you get through eleven years of it?

15
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 1: I took a sabbath. So what I mean by that, Listen,

16
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: God commands you in the fourth Commandment, the Ten Commandments.

17
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 1: God commands you to take a day off and drink

18
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 1: some wine. So don't threaten me with a good job.

19
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: But I took it literally. For what I mean by

20
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: that is for six days, man, I went after my

21
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: dream so hard and I was trying to get a

22
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: full time job so hard. I was going after it

23
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: and for enlessly as I possibly could, and getting rejected

24
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: over and over and over and over and over for

25
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: six days a week. But that seventh day I gave

26
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: myself a break. So every week I decided to take

27
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: a saba, say, Okay, whatever happened this past week, it

28
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: is over, it's done, it's in the past. I'm gonna exhal,

29
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna forget about last week. I'm gonna rest my body,

30
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: refresh my soul, restore my spirit. And then every week

31
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: after that day off, I would literally talk to God

32
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: and say, I'm not asking you to get me a

33
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,839
Speaker 1: job this week. I'm not asking you to get me money.

34
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: I'll do it. I got it. All I'm asking for

35
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: is that you help pick me up, brush me off,

36
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: and well let's keep walking this walk together. So I

37
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: wasn't rejected for eleven straight years. In my mind, I

38
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: was rejected for a period of six days each week

39
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: over eleven years. That makes sense, So six day periods

40
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: I was rejected for through an eleven year span. And listen,

41
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: when you are going after your dreams and you do

42
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: get rejected that much, you have to play some mind games.

43
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: With yourself. That was a mind game I played with myself.

44
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: But also that sabbath gave me the energy each week.

45
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: It restored me each week to go after my dreams

46
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: just as hard the next week, despite how much I

47
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: was rejected the previous week. And you know what, folks,

48
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 1: eleven years later paid off for me. So give yourself

49
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: a break, give yourself a sabbath each week. Let's keep

50
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: walking this walk together.
