1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Have you ever sat down with yourself and asked what are you trying to accomplish?
2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,000
If so, what's holding you back?
3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:14,000
What's keeping you from pursuing that dream, that passion, that whatever it is?
4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:20,000
I've asked myself this many, many times before and sometimes the answers aren't too clear.
5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,000
As much as we'd like them to be.
6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:28,000
But today, we're going to get some clarity through the eyes of today's character.
7
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000
I'm covering for Blue Lock and that's the chameleon, Reo Mikage.
8
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,000
So what's going on? My name is Nate and you're listening to the Otaku Liberation.
9
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,000
A show where we help you break free from the chains that are holding you back in your life
10
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000
by connecting biblical principles with things from your favorite anime.
11
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Now a warning to all my anime-only listeners out there.
12
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,000
I will be covering some things from the manga.
13
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,000
So again, if you haven't gotten that far, this is your spoiling warning right now.
14
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,000
So without further ado, let's get into it.
15
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:19,000
So Reo Mikage, or better known as the chameleon in Blue Lock.
16
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,000
He's an interesting character, at least for me.
17
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:30,000
At first, I thought he was just another side character who was really just there to introduce us to Nagi.
18
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Who's the boy genius or whatnot.
19
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,000
But the more I watched, the more I was seeing his growth.
20
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,000
Again, from reading the manga and just really looking into him.
21
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Reo's a different type of character compared to the rest of the Blue Lockers.
22
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:50,000
And the fact that he wasn't an egoist at the beginning.
23
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,000
And even after he became one, it was due to different reasons.
24
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,000
So again, for those who haven't been keeping up,
25
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Blue Lock is designed to create the best striker in the world.
26
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:09,000
In Reo's case, Reo's initial goal wasn't necessarily to be the best striker.
27
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,000
He just wanted to win the World Cup.
28
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,000
And by whatever means necessary.
29
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,000
And so he was always content to just feeding passes to Nagi.
30
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,000
So Nagi could score all the goals because they were the dynamic duo.
31
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,000
And to give that some context, let me go back a little bit to Reo's early life.
32
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:35,000
So Reo's family is rich.
33
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,000
His father owns a company.
34
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,000
And essentially, Reo was given everything from a young age.
35
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:47,000
And whatever he wanted, even the stuff that he didn't ask for,
36
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,000
his parents gave it to him just because.
37
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:56,000
And that led to a sense of boredom and restlessness within him.
38
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,000
That I think some of us can relate to.
39
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,000
Maybe not the rich part, right?
40
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,000
But the whole idea that if everything is just given to you,
41
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,000
if everything is just handed to you in life,
42
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,000
you can grow bored of it because you never had to work for anything.
43
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,000
You never had to express yourself.
44
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,000
You never had to really push yourself to try to accomplish anything.
45
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,000
And that can either A, lead to a sense of entitlement,
46
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:29,000
or B, can be a sense of boredom and restlessness like Reo, or C, both.
47
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,000
You can feel entitled to the things that you didn't work for,
48
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,000
and then you can easily become complacent
49
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,000
and not understand the value of what's been given to you.
50
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,000
And that can be easily said by any of us, right?
51
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,000
It doesn't have to be everything,
52
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,000
but some of the things that we're given,
53
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:52,000
or the blessings that are given to us by God, right?
54
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Sometimes it's a new car or a promotion that you didn't necessarily work hard for.
55
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,000
God just shows to bless you in that instance.
56
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000
And we can easily take that for granted.
57
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,000
We can easily say, oh, okay, well, this happened to me because I deserve it,
58
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:11,000
or something like that, where it's like, okay, no, you didn't work for this,
59
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:16,000
so you were given this because your father loves you.
60
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,000
And that's the same thing with Reo.
61
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:26,000
And granted, Reo, he didn't take it for granted, at least in that sense, right?
62
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,000
He just, he wanted to do something that was original to him.
63
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:35,000
He wanted to pursue a goal, a dream that was meaningful to him,
64
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,000
not just because his parents told him he was going to do this or that he needed to do this.
65
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,000
He wanted to do something that was his own unique idea
66
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,000
and how he wanted to make his mark on the world.
67
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,000
And he chose soccer, right?
68
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:55,000
He chose soccer, and he chose to pursue the dream of winning the World Cup.
69
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,000
And at the time, he didn't know much about soccer.
70
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,000
I think he dabbled with it a little bit.
71
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:04,000
But when he finally decided to go all in on it, he went to the practices,
72
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,000
he trained and honed his skills, but he still felt like he was missing something,
73
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,000
missing the last piece.
74
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:16,000
And that piece was what he calls his treasure in Nagi, another character,
75
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,000
again, the boy genius.
76
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:24,000
And once Reo found Nagi and understood Nagi's potential,
77
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,000
he felt he was unstoppable at that point.
78
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,000
And that's why both of them entered Blueloft.
79
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:39,000
And again, to kind of put in the context for the rest of the characters in the series,
80
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,000
the rest of them are striving to be the best of the best,
81
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:48,000
to be the best strikers and to essentially prove that they're better than the rest of the guys there.
82
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,000
Reo's more focused on essentially just proving his existence,
83
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,000
proving to himself that he can accomplish what he wants
84
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,000
and not necessarily just be a puppet for his parents
85
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,000
and to be the businessman that they want him to be.
86
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:10,000
And that's why for him, Blueloft is just a different outlet.
87
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:16,000
And I know for me, I was a long time trying to figure out that outlet for myself.
88
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,000
So, okay, what is it that I want to be?
89
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:23,000
How can I prove my worth to the world?
90
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,000
What is it that I can bring to the table?
91
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:30,000
What can I do to, you know, just to do more, you know,
92
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,000
just do more than just be living here each and every day,
93
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,000
just kind of going through the motions of life, right?
94
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:43,000
You know, do the whole college thing and I get a job and just say, okay, what's next?
95
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,000
What's more that I can do?
96
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,000
Because I don't want to be stuck in the hamster wheel of life.
97
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,000
And I know a lot of us can sympathize with that, you know.
98
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:57,000
You wake up, go to work, you know, come home, maybe you have some time with your family,
99
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,000
maybe you don't have a family yet and you're just, you know,
100
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,000
watching TV or you're doing your hobbies, something like that.
101
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,000
It's just the same thing over and over and over again.
102
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,000
And it's countable wonder, okay, there's more to this.
103
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:15,000
There's more to me and more to my skill set and what I can bring, what I can do.
104
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:21,000
And it's just more about figuring that out, trying to figure out how to navigate that.
105
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,000
And that's what Rayo was trying to do with Blue Lock.
106
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:30,000
So after the first selection, after all the guys played against each other
107
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,000
and new teams had to be made in the second selection,
108
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,000
it started off with teams of three.
109
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,000
So of course Rayo and Nagi were going to be together and then they get to find a third person.
110
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:48,000
Well, once they saw Isagi and Bajira, Nagi made the decision that he wanted to go play with Isagi
111
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,000
because again, Isagi is the one who beat them during their last match.
112
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,000
And that was Nagi's first time chasing defeat.
113
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,000
So he wanted to see, okay, why did this guy beat me?
114
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:05,000
And that decision broke Rayo in a way that he even understood.
115
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:12,000
And he felt betrayed because again, he's the one who found Nagi.
116
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,000
He's the one who introduced him to soccer in the first place.
117
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,000
And they both agreed to win the, they were going to win the World Cup together.
118
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:27,000
So Nagi decided to go play with somebody else and without Rayo, really it broke them essentially.
119
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:33,000
And he began to resent Nagi because again, he felt like he owned them.
120
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:39,000
He felt like without him, well, he felt that if Nagi didn't have Rayo,
121
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:44,000
then Nagi shouldn't have amounted to much.
122
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:50,000
But I believe this is a point that one, all of us need to go through,
123
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:57,000
but it was a turning point for him because of him being broken by Nagi,
124
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:03,000
and then Rayo went back and looked internally, looked into himself as to figure out really why,
125
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,000
why am I so fixated on him?
126
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,000
Why am I so caught up in what Nagi's doing?
127
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,000
At first he was asking himself, what does Isagi have that I don't have?
128
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:20,000
And again, back to Isagi's episode, right, the whole idea of comparison
129
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,000
and comparing yourself to what other people have, other people's gifts,
130
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,000
other people's talents, other people's personalities and things like that,
131
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,000
and comparing them to your flaws and shortcomings,
132
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,000
again, that imbalance happens and then that self-loathing and that resentment
133
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:44,000
and just all the negativity and that was bringing down Rayo's mentality.
134
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:50,000
Until he got out of the second selection himself,
135
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:56,000
after losing a couple of games and fighting his way back up to the top
136
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:03,000
and to get to the point where they are in the manga and the Neo-Egoist League,
137
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:08,000
and he's really coming to his own.
138
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,000
So throughout this time of wanting to prove his existence,
139
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:17,000
and now he had to prove his existence without Nagi, without that person or thing
140
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,000
or season that he was holding on to, that he felt like he needed to have that
141
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,000
in order to succeed.
142
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,000
But now he realizes, okay, I don't need him.
143
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,000
Same thing with Bajira, that's why I kind of want to do these episodes back to back,
144
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,000
because both Rayo and Bajira had a similar mentality,
145
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,000
is that they think they needed somebody else, they think they needed something else
146
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:43,000
in order to accomplish their goals, in order to be the best that they could be.
147
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:49,000
But in reality, all they had to do was to look internally and to figure out,
148
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:54,000
okay, what is it that I can do, how can I push myself to get to the next level,
149
00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:01,000
to get to the next season in my life, and to really get the most out of my life.
150
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:06,000
And for Rayo, it was letting go of his reliance on Nagi
151
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,000
and then really pushing his own gifts to the max,
152
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:13,000
to stand on his own two feet, so he can pursue his goal
153
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,000
without necessarily relying on something else.
154
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:22,000
And that was shown when he got his moniker, the Chameleon.
155
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:27,000
Again, for those who've been keeping up with whether the anime or this podcast,
156
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,000
the Blue Lockers each have their own weapon that they've honed
157
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,000
and trained to help them get to the next level.
158
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:41,000
And Rayo's weapon is his ability to essentially copy other people's weapons
159
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,000
within a certain degree.
160
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,000
So the way to kind of break it down is if you're a video game character with different stats,
161
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:54,000
and if somebody's, say, ball control stat is at like 100,
162
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:01,000
but their defense is at 80 or something like that, their shooting power is at 75, things like that,
163
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:06,000
then Rayo's is at pretty much 90 all the way around.
164
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,000
He's considered the perfect all-rounder.
165
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000
He can play pretty much any position.
166
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,000
He can set up plays. He can finish plays.
167
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:19,000
A lot of the teams that he's a part of, their plays start or end with him and mine.
168
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:25,000
And that just shows that his tactical mind, everything like that,
169
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:30,000
everything is just, he's essentially the quote-unquote perfect soccer player.
170
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,000
And his ability allows him to do that.
171
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,000
He looks at other people's gifts and analyzes them,
172
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:42,000
and he essentially puts his stats to 99 out of 100.
173
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:46,000
So, for instance, I'll take Nagi's gift, for example,
174
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,000
Nagi's gift of his supreme ball control and first touches.
175
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,000
He can never replicate the entirety of what Nagi can do.
176
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:58,000
For certain passes and certain shots, he can replicate with 99% accuracy.
177
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:07,000
And that goes for any character in the series whose gift isn't something unique to them.
178
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,000
Their physical size or something like that.
179
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,000
He obviously can't grow, but the technical aspects of it,
180
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:20,000
ball control, certain shots and things like that, he can copy with 99% accuracy.
181
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:30,000
And in realizing that about himself, Reo was able to once solidify himself on the Blue Lock 11 team
182
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:38,000
and really come into his own and figure out, okay, this is what I can do, so let me be the best at this.
183
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:44,000
And when he finally decided to let go of Nagi and decided to pursue his own gift
184
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,000
and really strengthen that aspect of him,
185
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:55,000
he became one of the few characters on the pitch that one can keep up with Isagi and his insane growth.
186
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:04,000
Because Reo acquired an ability that Isagi himself just acquired without too much effort.
187
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Now, granted, Reo doesn't understand how to use that ability all the time.
188
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,000
And I'm talking about meta vision, which is, if you read the manga, you know,
189
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,000
I'm not going to spoil too much for the anime onlys,
190
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,000
but essentially it's a really cool ability. It's kind of busted in terms of soccer.
191
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:30,000
And Reo would have never, never gotten to that point if he was always just hanging on to Nagi's coattails, right?
192
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:39,000
And for those of us who are basically just stuck in the previous season of our lives,
193
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:44,000
who are stuck on that previous person, that thing, that the good times, right?
194
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,000
One, the good times that you remember aren't as good as you remember them,
195
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,000
because we don't remember everything with 100% accuracy.
196
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,000
But that doesn't say that it didn't happen, doesn't say that they didn't make you feel good,
197
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:03,000
that they, you know, that you wouldn't mind going back to there, but time doesn't move backwards.
198
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:12,000
And if you get stuck there, you will miss all the wonderful blessings that lie ahead of you, right?
199
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:17,000
And because again, our guy works, he works in seasons, he works in seasons.
200
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:23,000
And one thing I know that a lot of people don't understand,
201
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,000
and I know I didn't understand for the longest time, is that, you know,
202
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:32,000
every good season is going to come with a bad season and vice versa. They come together, they're a pair.
203
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:40,000
And just because the current season you're in may be a bad season,
204
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,000
it doesn't mean that there isn't any good seasons to come.
205
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:48,000
And typically, the next good season is going to be better than the previous good season.
206
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,000
So that gives you something to look forward to.
207
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:57,000
But we all are going through this life, you know, taking the day by day, step by step, you know, season by season.
208
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:03,000
But if we decide to get hung up and stuck on one season, then we're going to miss the blessings of the next.
209
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,000
And that's pretty much the biggest thing I want to kind of drill home with you guys today,
210
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:12,000
is that don't get caught up on the past. Don't get stuck there.
211
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,000
Now, remember it. Learn from it, definitely.
212
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:22,000
Always try to take something from your previous, I'm not going to say failures, previous learning opportunities.
213
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:28,000
You know, you get to learn more about yourself and the people who you deal with, who you're around,
214
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,000
the kind of people that you'd like to be around, the kind of people you don't like to be around.
215
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:39,000
You know, learn from your previous season. Take what you can. Take the best from the previous season and learn what you can.
216
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:44,000
And bring those pieces into the next one.
217
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:50,000
But don't get stuck in the past. Don't get stuck in the, you know, woulda, shoulda, coulda's.
218
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:58,000
Because I'm raising my hand right now. I speak from just all types of experience with that,
219
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:03,000
where I get so caught up in my head about maybe I shoulda done that, maybe that wasn't the right decision,
220
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:10,000
maybe I shoulda done this instead. And it causes, one causes fear and panic, but also causes paralysis.
221
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:15,000
Like you get stuck there. And you get stuck, and I don't know where to go, what to do.
222
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,000
And it's such a, it's a terrifying feeling.
223
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:23,000
And you know who's been there, you know, and you know who hasn't, I pray that you never have to experience it.
224
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:30,000
And just the uncertainty of it all, and just constantly worrying, constantly stressing, constantly, you know,
225
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:34,000
think, just having this feeling of regret.
226
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,000
So, again, I just want to encourage you all just to be more like Rao, right?
227
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,000
Read more like Rao and just let go of your reliance on the previous season.
228
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:48,000
You know, take, take what you know. Take what you can learn from the previous season and push forward.
229
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:56,000
As, as hard as it may be, as hard as it may seem, I guarantee you it's not as hard as you, as you think it is.
230
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:02,000
Because with our minds, we have a tendency to build things up, good and bad.
231
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:07,000
And when the reality is, it's nowhere near as good or bad as we make it out to be.
232
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:12,000
So I just want to encourage you to take that first step and then take the next one, and then the next one.
233
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:19,000
And really build on the momentum to truly walk into the next season of your life. And, and again, like with everything,
234
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,000
just, just give it to God. Pray on it. Give it to Him.
235
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:28,000
And then go back and think about, OK, what are some actionable steps that I can do?
236
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:33,000
And now that I've given it to Him, He, and God's a, God's a good God. He always provides.
237
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:41,000
So once I give it to Him, what, what are some steps that I can do to make sure I'm still, I'm walking in the right way
238
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:49,000
and I'm not getting stuck? And hey, maybe that's, you know, pushing, pushing your stats to 99, right?
239
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:57,000
99 out of 100 or, you know, just, just whatever, whatever the next season looks like for you.
240
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:03,000
I don't, I don't know what that is. You may not even know what that is, but I just encourage you, no matter what,
241
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:08,000
no matter what you do, don't, don't stop moving forward. Just keep going.
242
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:13,000
So, I mean, that's all I got for you guys today. So again, thank you for tuning in to today's episode.
243
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:18,000
I pray that you got what you needed out of it, and hopefully you learned something new about yourself,
244
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:23,000
because I really want everyone to take the time of reflection and just really take these things to heart.
245
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:28,000
You know, I know I'm just another guy on the Internet. You're just Miranda guy's voice.
246
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:34,000
But I mean, there's some stuff that I had to go through personally, honestly, sometimes every day,
247
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:39,000
to remind myself that, OK, I can't, I can't be stuck here. I can't be afraid of change.
248
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:45,000
I can't be afraid of what, of the unknown, because if I am, I'm never going to go forward.
249
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:51,000
So hopefully you had the kind of revelation about yourself. And if you did, feel free to leave a review.
250
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:56,000
You can subscribe to the podcast and just leave some comments now, what you guys liked, what you didn't like,
251
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:02,000
you know, what you absolutely hated and loathed and what you, you know, loved, what you loved about it.
252
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,000
Because again, my goal is to get better with each and every episode.
253
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:13,000
And I'm going to read all of you guys' comments and really, really dive down into this and try to get better each and every episode.
254
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:21,000
So again, always remember you are the main character of your story, and that story doesn't end until he says so.
255
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:33,000
All right. Peace.
