But when I when I for me, 167 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: it's not necessarily like a quote like for me, like 168 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 1: it's more of a Bible verse that that I I 169 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: like a lot, and it's uh, it's it's Isaiah, Yeah, 170 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: I have. 171 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 2: It right here. 172 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: I want to just make sure I got it, get 173 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: it right. Isaiah sixty twenty two says, when the time 174 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: is right, I the Lord will make it happen. And 175 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: and the reason why that resonates with me like every 176 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: single day is because I feel like, in our profession, 177 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: we're always in this pursuit right right, in the pursuit 178 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: of like, like I said, getting something off the ground 179 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: or getting this thing or whatever, and I gotta you 180 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: gotta sometimes remind yourself that it's not your timing. You know, 181 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: it happens when it's supposed to happen, and uh, and 182 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: that and that Bible verse keeps me grounded and keeps 183 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 1: me sane because I've you know, there's a lot of 184 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 1: people that I know in our industry who who are 185 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: not rooted in that and and and so much of 186 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: what they do and so much of what they believe 187 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,839 Speaker 1: in is so rooted on or measured by me getting 188 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: this part or me getting this thing or be you know, 189 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: I feel like that could drive you insane. In this business, 190 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: and so you have to kind of change your frame 191 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: of thinking in order to be able to survive. 192 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, and and not everyone's timing is the same, right, 193 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 3: And then you, you know, sometimes you fall in the 194 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 3: trap of, you know, of of creating this imaginary parallel 195 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 3: tracks to other individuals or entities or or you know, 196 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 3: evolutions that you're like, well, I'm not part of that evolution. 197 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 2: Why I'm not keeping up with that? You know? 198 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 3: And the truth is you're gonna carve it at the 199 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 3: moment where you're the strongest to hold it and keep 200 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 3: it and like hell it, you know. 201 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 2: And and I. 202 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 3: Think that's the the interesting thing to think about what 203 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 3: you're saying, Like the timing is everything. But you know, 204 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,439 Speaker 3: you also think about the different times in your life 205 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 3: where you've had certain levels of wisdom.
