1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,360
Pursuing your own goal is great and all, but wouldn't it be better if you fought alongside
2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:13,600
others who shared that goal? Because, you know, I know how, you know, difficult it is to let other
3
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:21,120
people in and to really let other people help you and to help them, but, you know, honestly,
4
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:26,320
we weren't made to go through this life alone. You know, we were all designed to be part of a
5
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:31,520
community, part of a team, and part of that is using your own strengths to help compensate for
6
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:38,160
someone else's weakness and then vice versa. And honestly, to me, it's something special,
7
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:44,240
almost magical about a bunch of people coming together for the same goal, the same united effort.
8
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:51,600
And one anime that I feel captures this sentiment almost perfectly is an underrated title called
9
00:00:51,600 --> 00:01:03,200
World Trigger. Hey, what's going on, guys? My name is Nate, and you're listening to the Otaku
10
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,120
Liberation, a show where we help you break free from the chains that are holding you back in your
11
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,280
life by connecting some biblical principles with themes from your favorite anime. And without
12
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:17,760
further ado, let's get into it. All right, so World Trigger is a series written and illustrated by
13
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:24,160
Daisuke Ashihara. Forgive me if I butchered that name, but I'm doing my best. And it started
14
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:31,200
serialization back in 2013, and the manga is actually currently ongoing. And the anime just
15
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:37,040
finished its third season, I believe it was the end of 2021. Now double check, but I do believe
16
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:43,600
it's the end of 2021. So it's relatively recent. And essentially the backstory, you know, kind of
17
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:50,720
give you guys a little backdrop is the in the world that they live that the characters live in,
18
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:57,120
right? The aliens exist, just to get out, get that out of the way, they exist, and they're called
19
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:02,640
neighbors. And the reason they're called neighbors is because the planets that the neighbors come
20
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:11,760
come from, they is it's kind of hard to explain. So the planets are are on a on their own type of
21
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,960
orbit, right in a different in different dimensions, things like that. And when two planets or multiple
22
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:24,000
planets come close to each other on their on their orbits, then travel between the two or between the
23
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,000
the neighboring planets are is possible. And so that's why they call neighbors because the
24
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:36,960
planets are currently neighboring each other in their in their orbits. And in the series itself,
25
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:42,080
they've experienced an invasion of hostile neighbors, because you know, not all of them
26
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:47,440
are bad, but not all of them are good either. And the typically than the hostile neighbors
27
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:54,320
are invading because they looking for another resource called Tryon. And Tryon is this world's
28
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:59,760
energy source, more or less, and most living things have it, have some degree of it, some people have
29
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:05,520
more than others and things like that. And the invading neighbors have various different reasons
30
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:12,400
for coming over to Earth in this world Earth is called Medan. They come over to Medan to, you know,
31
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:19,040
gather more soldiers together people to use as essentially as batteries, and just some just just
32
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:27,600
to wreak havoc, right. And to come to combat this, Medan has there's essentially is secret military
33
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:36,160
force called Border. And it's what is border is just a group of agents group of Earthlings who
34
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,800
figure out how to use the Tryon and use the technology from the neighbors to fight the
35
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:50,000
neighbors and and divide them in some aspects into joint forces with them and others. And then after
36
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:56,240
the first major neighbor invasion, border was was revealed to the public. And because beforehand,
37
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:01,200
it was it was a secret, not many people knew about it. If you didn't know about it, you were a part
38
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:08,800
of it, so to speak. And when the enemy picks up over the manga kind of, you know, is quote unquote
39
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:15,760
modern day, is after after border is made public, and people know that neighbors exist and that they
40
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:23,360
have this fighting force to to go against them. And it really reveals a common enemy, right.
41
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:29,680
And I think that's important, important to note that when it comes to, you know, any type of team,
42
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:36,800
anything you others, you know, like military, that sports teams, even your work group at work,
43
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:43,440
right, is important to have a common, common goal, whether it's a common enemy, a common,
44
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:49,680
just some something that we're all trying to achieve for essentially the same reason. And,
45
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:59,760
and in this is it is allow the people of me to essentially come together and focus all of their
46
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:06,400
intention and efforts towards one defending themselves and to exploring the neighborhood,
47
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:13,200
which is the alternate dimensions are called the neighborhood, and to see what else is out there
48
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:21,760
and what we can do to prevent this invasion from from happening again, so to speak. And, and, and
49
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:30,000
what I want to kind of look at from that is, is how powerful a common goal is, because it can
50
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:39,120
immediately eliminate hostilities and animosity between, you know, two or more groups. Because,
51
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:45,920
hey, we don't, we don't accomplish this, this together, then neither one of us are, it's gonna,
52
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:50,480
it's basically gonna survive this, right. And now you still may have some tensions and ever have all
53
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:55,120
two year motives and things like that, depending on how malicious they want to be. But at the end
54
00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:01,200
of the day, having a common goal, having a common focus helps bring out the best in, in everybody
55
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:08,000
and then the whole initiative, because nobody wants to see this fail, right? Whatever, whatever
56
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,720
the goal may be. So let's say you, you, you got a school, a school project you're working on,
57
00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:19,120
nobody in there wants to get an F, right? No one in there is trying to fail the class, because,
58
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:24,960
you know, they got to take it again, right? So even if you and somebody in your group,
59
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,800
you don't like each other, you guys have had beef before, maybe they called you ugly,
60
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,800
and you called them fat, you know, whatever, whatever it is, the words were said and feelings
61
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:38,400
were hurt. But now that you guys are in that group together, you had to push past that, you know,
62
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:45,840
at least for the time being to get to get this work done. And that just being, being able to do that,
63
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:52,320
is honestly, it's harder than what I'm making this sound out to be. Because if you, if anyone
64
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,480
who's ever had somebody who they, you just, you just didn't like, you just didn't get along with,
65
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:01,280
no matter how much, either one of you tried, or maybe they're not trying, that's the issue. But
66
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:05,920
no matter how much you try to extend that olive branch, or they try to extend olive branch to you,
67
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:13,040
you just don't want to take it, you want nothing to do with them. So it's hard to look past that,
68
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:21,920
right? To look past your own, raising your own feelings to accomplish what's needed to be done.
69
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:29,920
And honestly, that, it takes a lot, right? It just takes a lot, because I don't think not all of us
70
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:36,480
are wired that way. And it's definitely something that we all have to work on each and every day,
71
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:42,640
especially in terms of like longer, longer, longer unions, right? And looking at marriage
72
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:47,120
or long-term relationships where you get two different people who, you know, hopefully you
73
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:53,280
like each other, right? But either way, you coming together for a common goal, whatever
74
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:58,720
you, your goals are that you want to build this life together, right? And that means there's
75
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,920
going to be some hard times, or there's going to be times where neither one of you want to deal with
76
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:07,360
each other at all, right? Because somebody messed up, somebody didn't do what it's supposed to do,
77
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:12,240
or, you know, whatever the case may be. But when you're part of a team, when you're part of a union
78
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:18,880
like that, you have to be able to reconcile and be able to move forward. Because if not, in the case
79
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:23,760
of Border, if they don't move forward together, then they're going to get sent back to the Stone
80
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:29,280
Agents, literally, or they're just all going to get killed off. That's just kind of how it is, right?
81
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:38,880
And the emphasis that World Trigger places on it is a big focus on teamwork, and both within your
82
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,440
own team and with other teams as well. So the way the hierarchy and the structure works in
83
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:53,280
World Trigger is that the agents, the agents of Border are broken up by ranks. So C ranks, B ranks,
84
00:08:53,280 --> 00:09:00,560
A ranks, and then S rank. And C ranks are people who just applied, who just got accepted, they had
85
00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:07,520
to go through the training and initial steps and things like that. And they are normally kept as,
86
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:13,600
you know, reserved, as reserved, more or less, they're kind of there for like, for home defense
87
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:19,120
in case something happens, you know, they'll be mobilized. But B ranks are the main fighting
88
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:24,960
force. And then it's when you become a B rank is when you, when you join, you join a squad,
89
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:32,960
whether you make your own or you join an existing one. And, and, and within Border, they have this
90
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:38,080
way of testing the B ranks, what they call them, and rank wars. While B ranks and A ranks, they go
91
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:42,880
through rank wars, but the majority of the series focus on the B rank, rank wars, because the main
92
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:49,440
characters of the show or the series are B rank. And in the rank wars is it's squad against squad,
93
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:56,080
and against squad nine times out of 10, typically a three to four team deathmatch type, type thing.
94
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:03,280
And it, it simulates real life battle, real life war, because you're, you're dropped in randomly,
95
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,760
you're not, you're not necessarily going to be next to any of your teammates and things like that.
96
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:14,240
But you have to work on a strategy that works best for your team, while also hindering the opponent
97
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,640
team so you can, you know, eliminate them, score points and things like that. And, and throughout
98
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:24,400
the series, we see different approaches from different teams, different styles, because,
99
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:31,040
you know, the main, the main crew for, for the series, you know, the leader, squad leader is
100
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:36,240
arguably the weakest one on the team. Like in terms of stats wise, he can't fight by himself
101
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:42,560
to save his life, literally. He, he's the first one to go nine times out of 10. And he has another
102
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:46,720
person on the team who she can't fire at people because she's a sniper. I mean, even though she's
103
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:52,160
a sniper, she's there to watch their back, but she can't take the shot when, when she's needed.
104
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,480
And then you got the other guy who's their ace, he's the one who gets all of their points,
105
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:02,480
because he's just the best out of the three. And when you first look at it, that team dynamic is
106
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:09,520
severely skewed and it still kind of is, but within it, they all realize their own strength
107
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:14,720
and weaknesses and how they can play up each other and to support each other. And that's the whole,
108
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,480
that's pretty much the whole premise of the, and the entire show, at least in my opinion,
109
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:24,160
is that knowing, knowing yourself well enough to trust somebody else to do what you can't do,
110
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:30,720
and then for you to do what you can do to the best of your ability. And then that way you guys are
111
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:37,280
just, you guys are just covering all the bases that you possibly can. And of course that takes
112
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:41,840
time. That takes a lot of just your own self-work. Cause again, it starts with you knowing what you're
113
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:47,520
capable of and what you're not. Because, you know, if you try to do everything, you'll wind up doing
114
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:53,120
nothing. And that's something I personally had to learn, you know, growing up, going through school
115
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:58,560
and things like that. And now granted, it's, it's hard sometimes when you have people who don't want
116
00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:03,280
to pull their weight. So you end up having to do everything yourself anyway. Otherwise, like I said,
117
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:08,000
before you're all going to suffer and you don't want to suffer because someone else wasn't doing
118
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:14,400
their job. But on the flip side, when you have people who are willing and able to do something,
119
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,000
especially when they do, when they can do a better job than you can, let them,
120
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,840
just, just let them take yourself out of the way, take your own ego out the way and let,
121
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:29,280
let someone else do what, let someone else use their gift to do something that you,
122
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:34,480
you can possibly do even if you try it, you know, 10, 20, 30 years at it. Right. Cause it's just not
123
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:40,160
your gift. Could you do it? Absolutely. But you're still not going to be as well off as,
124
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,680
as they would be because again, that's their gift, that's their talent. That's what they've been
125
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:50,800
called to do. And, and once you learn to kind of let go and just release that, then, then you're
126
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:55,840
going to, then everything's going to be running a lot, a lot smoother. Right. Again, we got to get
127
00:12:55,840 --> 00:13:01,680
out, get out of our own way and allow other people in who, who can help us and who we can help. Right.
128
00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:06,480
Cause again, it's not all about us, even though we are the main characters of our story, but so are
129
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,640
they. They're the main characters of their own story. And I mean, we've seen all the classic
130
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:15,360
team. Look at the Avengers, right? They're, they're all literally main characters in their own story,
131
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:23,280
but they still come together or sorry, they assemble to take on whatever the big bad is at
132
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:29,040
the time. Right. You know, DC fans out there, same thing with Justice League, like Power Rangers. I
133
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:38,320
mean, it's all the, the classic team ups, right. And does it, I'm sure at some point, all of them,
134
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:43,600
they want to be, you know, the lead. They all want to do, do their own thing because they're
135
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:49,680
typically used to it. But once you, once you start messing with people really well, once you understand
136
00:13:49,680 --> 00:13:54,080
yourself and each other and how you work together and what works and what doesn't work, then,
137
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,480
then you'll see that you're going to go even further beyond what you thought you could,
138
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:07,120
that you thought you can go in the first place. And, and so, and so then another aspect that kind
139
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:11,760
of ties into the whole teamwork and then the rank wars and the battle system for a world trigger
140
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:18,880
is that the battles are very tactical. You know, it's not about overall power, but it's really
141
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:23,920
about how well each member uses their strengths for the betterment of the team. Right. So back
142
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:28,880
to the example I gave you earlier, but the main squad who, who the story is based around, right.
143
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:34,480
Again, the squad leader, he's, he's not a fighter, right. He's just, he's just not even on a one V
144
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:41,280
one, he's going to lose nine, nine out of 10 times, but where he shines is, is his tactics and his
145
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:47,200
kind of off the wall type thing that he comes up with. And I'm not going to go too much into
146
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:52,240
it right now because again, he has his own episode coming up, but he, he realized that,
147
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:57,360
Hey, fighting isn't my specialty. That's where my teammate comes in. So what I need to do to,
148
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:02,720
for the betterment of the team is find out ways to make his job easier. Essentially, essentially
149
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:10,640
what it would have broke down to. And, and so he took what he thought as a, as a weakness, as a
150
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:16,880
weakness of his, he, he allowed it to play into his strength, his, with his strength being his
151
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:21,440
tactical mind and the way he observes the battlefield and the players in it. And,
152
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:28,320
and honestly, he used his weakness as a, as a bait most times because everyone's going to target
153
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,960
him because they know he's the weak link. So I, again, I'm not going to go too, too much into it,
154
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:38,560
getting away off good here, but, but it, so just take that scenario and then multiply it by everybody
155
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:44,080
else on the show. Cause even the strong players, the strong fighters in, in the series, the ACE on
156
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:51,280
the main squad and the, all the other, you know, ACE B ranks and A and A rank fighters, they all
157
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:56,960
know their strengths, but they also know their limitations too. So they, sometimes they use their
158
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:04,160
limitations to, to bait in the enemy. And other times they, they just play up their strengths
159
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:08,800
so much that, you know, it's just kind of like an overwhelming force, but either way they don't,
160
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:14,000
they don't let themselves be a detriment to the team, right? They don't allow themselves
161
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:20,240
to get in their own way and then, and then get in their, in their teammates way as well. They,
162
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:26,080
everyone is typically on the same page. Everyone's communicating and again, cause we're all going,
163
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:30,640
they're all going for the same goal. They're all trying to achieve the same thing. So there's no,
164
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:37,440
no room for the, you know, I am the king of the land type, type aspect that we've seen in previous,
165
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,680
previous episodes talking about borrow and Vegeta, right? There's no room for that.
166
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:48,240
And I'm thinking about just no one on the series so far has been introduced to have that type of
167
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:54,160
mindset where, you know, they just, they think they're the best things in sliced bread in reality.
168
00:16:54,160 --> 00:17:00,080
They're not right. Everyone is pretty humble for, for the most part, cause again, they,
169
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:07,440
they all, they're all used to working together as, as a team. And, and honestly, I think there's just
170
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:13,200
so much that, that we can learn from it. I mean, I'm, I'm trying to do the best justice as I can,
171
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:18,080
but again, you just, you just gotta watch it, right? And maybe a little biased cause it is
172
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:25,120
one of my top five favorite anime or series of all time. And because it's because of the different
173
00:17:25,120 --> 00:17:32,560
take on, you know, friendship and camaraderie. Cause again, if you've been in, in the anime
174
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:38,240
community long enough, you know, that the power of friendship triumphs over all, right? But sometimes
175
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,880
it's just like, come on, you know, they should have lost, but because friendship they, they won,
176
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,600
that's not the case with this. Isn't, isn't, it's not the case at all with this is very much
177
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:53,120
who has a better strategy and not only that, who executes the better strategy. That's no, honestly,
178
00:17:53,120 --> 00:17:59,680
that you can come up strategize, you have an excellent game plan, but if you don't execute it,
179
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:04,560
right? You know, if you don't execute at all, or if you don't execute it well enough, then
180
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:10,560
it is all for not right. And that can, that can go in anything, not just in a team,
181
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:15,520
team set setting, whatever your, your goals, your dreams, whatever it is that you're trying to achieve
182
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:21,600
it. Yes. Plan for it. You have to plan because if you don't, you know, if you don't plan, you're
183
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:28,720
just planning to fail. But once you have the plan, now it's time for the execution. And I know
184
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:34,400
for me personally, that was the step that I had the biggest struggle with was actually executing and
185
00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:40,320
really taking that first step and then the next step and then the next step. And then when I fall
186
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:45,120
getting back up and he really keep going forward, that's the planning, the planning part is easy.
187
00:18:45,120 --> 00:18:49,600
And honestly, cause you got all the, especially in today's world, we have all the information
188
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:55,040
literally at the, the palm of our hand, nine times out of 10, right? You find almost anything on,
189
00:18:55,040 --> 00:19:03,360
on the internet. And, and so it's not, it's not from a lack of information is not even a lack of
190
00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:08,880
motivation. Most of the times it's just a lack of execution. We have to get better at executing.
191
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:14,960
And I say we, cause I'm speaking to myself too. I need to do better at actually executing the
192
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:20,080
things that I have planned out because if we don't do it, no one else, no one else is.
193
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,080
I mean, we can have a team, we have a support system, we have all of that,
194
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:30,720
but at the end of the day, they can't make us go. We have to go. And, but when we do go,
195
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:36,320
that's where, that's where the importance of camaraderie and having somebody who,
196
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:41,360
who got your back, like you got theirs, who were really to, to come down and pick you back up when
197
00:19:41,360 --> 00:19:46,560
you stumble, to carry you when you're hurt. And then someone that you can lean on is, and I
198
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:52,080
encourage you all to be someone that, that can, that can be leaned on as well. Cause again,
199
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:57,120
it's not all about you. It's really not, it starts with you, but it's not all about you.
200
00:19:57,120 --> 00:20:02,880
Just, just remember that. And again, this whole, this whole idea, the whole podcast is, is to
201
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:10,240
really have you, have you reflect, have you reflect and know yourself better than anyone,
202
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:16,160
anyone can possibly know you because self-awareness is honestly is probably the best superpower.
203
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:20,720
Any of us can really have, because once you have that level of self-awareness,
204
00:20:21,360 --> 00:20:25,440
you can do anything that you put your mind to it, because you know your limitations and you know
205
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:30,880
your strengths, right? You know, you know, the ins and outs, nothing can really surprise you anymore.
206
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:36,000
So you can really go full tilt into whatever it is that you need to, because you already know,
207
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,640
all right, I was made for this. So nothing's going to stop me. Nothing's going to get in my way.
208
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:49,040
And when you get a group of people like that together, oh man, like the world better watch
209
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,640
out because you know, the mountains are moving, the mountains are moving. Things aren't going to
210
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:58,240
get done. When you get a bunch of people who know themselves well enough to say, Hey, I need some
211
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:03,120
help in this area, but I got this over here. You know, you let me work on this. You work on,
212
00:21:03,120 --> 00:21:08,560
on this aspect that I'm struggling in. And then I'll come help you with the aspects you're
213
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:14,560
struggling in and boom, we're going to crush this thing. And, and honestly, nothing, nothing
214
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:20,320
speaks, speaks better to this than second Corinthians chapter six, verse 14 is this,
215
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:24,960
do not be yoked together with those who do not believe for what partnership is there between
216
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:31,760
righteousness and lawlessness or what fellowship does light have with darkness? So again, it's
217
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:37,280
about having like-minded people, uh, who have a similar mindset and not who are just polar
218
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:43,280
opposites from you. Right now, I do believe there are some instances where enemies can,
219
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:50,480
can work together for a common goal. But when it comes to building something to really the building,
220
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:55,920
creating something, you want someone who was by your side, who see not only see, but believes in
221
00:21:55,920 --> 00:22:01,760
the vision that you see. Right. You know, and because seeing is one thing, a lot of people say,
222
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,440
oh yeah, that sounds good. You know, I think you should do that. I really think it's something
223
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:11,040
special, but when you, when they believe in it, that means they're going to put the, you know,
224
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:17,280
just as much effort, just as much blood, sweat and tears into it as, as you are. Right. Because
225
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:21,440
they believe it, they believe it, they believe that this thing is meant to be something great.
226
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:27,680
So they're going to take the time, the effort and the energy to put into it. And again, man,
227
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:34,240
you get more than one person together, man. Things are multiplied tremendously. So again,
228
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:38,720
that's pretty much all I wanted to cover with you guys is that, hey, One World Trigger is an
229
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,000
excellent series. I think you guys should check it out. And there's a lot of things that I believe
230
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:47,920
everyone can learn from it. You know, just learn about yourself, learn your own shortcomings,
231
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:53,680
your strengths, and how you can apply that in a team setting, in a group setting, in any,
232
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:59,200
in really in any type of relationship that we have and just leverage it, you know, leverage your
233
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:06,080
strengths and try to strengthen your weaknesses in a way. And just find, find some like-minded,
234
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:10,800
like-minded people who, who you can get behind, who get behind you and you know,
235
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:15,840
just do this life thing together. But anyway, that's all I got for you guys today. So thank
236
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:20,000
you for tuning in to today's episode and I pray that you got what you needed out of it. And hopefully
237
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,480
you learned something new about yourself. Feel free to subscribe to the podcast and leave a review.
238
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:29,600
I love reading you guys' reviews and comments and it helps me improve each and every episode.
239
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:34,800
And always remember, you are the main character of your story and that story doesn't end until he
240
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:51,280
says so. All right. Be blessed.
