1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,360
You know, how often do we commit to something in high spirits only to find ourselves not
2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,000
fulfilling that committment later on?
3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,400
When someone else doesn't follow through on something that they promised us, we get
4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:17,400
upset with them because we expect better out of them.
5
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,320
But why don't we take that same approach with ourselves?
6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,320
Why do we let ourselves off the hook?
7
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:28,920
What would happen if we did what we said we were going to do and gave it all while we
8
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,240
were doing it?
9
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,480
Well, honestly, we'd look a lot like today's character that we're covering on this week's
10
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:39,840
episode and she's someone who gives her all no matter the task and doesn't give up no
11
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,080
matter what the circumstance.
12
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:57,800
And I'm talking about Yuzuru Ria Ogawa.
13
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:58,800
Hey what's going on guys?
14
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,280
My name is Nate and you're listening to the Otaku Liberation, a show where we help you
15
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,760
break the chains that are holding back your life by connecting some biblical principles
16
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,000
with themes for your favorite anime.
17
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,400
And without further ado, let's get right on into it.
18
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:16,880
So this week's verse that kind of ties into this whole thing about being committed or
19
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:22,000
committed to the cause, whatever however you want to say it, is Galatians chapter six,
20
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,000
verse nine.
21
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,640
And it says, so let us not get tired of doing what is good.
22
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:33,240
At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up.
23
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:39,640
And the kind of key part, I guess key parts, I don't want to look at in this particular
24
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:50,400
verse is don't get tired of doing what is good and don't give up because it can be easy
25
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:55,560
to give up on something where you don't see the fruits of it, right?
26
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,680
When you don't see the benefits of your labor.
27
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:04,360
And I'm talking, I'm not talking about, you know, you started something five minutes ago
28
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:09,320
and you don't see the results yet, or you started maybe a week ago, you don't see anything.
29
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:16,440
I'm talking about when you have put in the time and effort over weeks, months, years,
30
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:23,600
decades even, and you're not seeing or you're not getting the benefits or the results that
31
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,560
you thought you would.
32
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:30,600
And the best example I can kind of give you that is, is going to the gym, right?
33
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:35,040
Because it's easy to visualize that we all see people who do it.
34
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:41,040
And a lot of beginners typically have the mindset or the idea that, you know, if I go
35
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:48,120
to the gym, you know, three times a week in a month, I'm going to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger.
36
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:53,040
Like, no, that's not, that's not just, that's just not going to happen.
37
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,360
He's worked his entire lifetime to look the way he does.
38
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:05,240
And it's often just that kind of misconception of, of gold or the, the results that we're
39
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,960
expecting out of something.
40
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,960
And oftentimes we just kind of, you got to bring it back in to make it feasible.
41
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:18,680
But we also have to, to remember that, hey, these things take time and how much time is
42
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,120
going to vary from person to person, circumstance to circumstance.
43
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,520
But the overall thing is just to stay committed.
44
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,320
I mean, that's it.
45
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:33,920
Just stay committed, do what you can and just be consistent with it.
46
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:41,240
And the reason I picked Yuzuhiro for this is, honestly, because she, she just exemplifies
47
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,520
this completely, at least in my opinion, right?
48
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:50,720
And so, so throughout this episode, I'm going to go over these three key points that I,
49
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,840
at least that I saw when I was looking at Yuzuhiro.
50
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,960
And the first one is her wholehearted commitment.
51
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:58,960
And what does that mean?
52
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:05,040
And basically Yuzuhiro gives a hundred percent to whatever task is asked of her and she sees
53
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,240
it through to the end.
54
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:14,320
Now in the span of the anime, at least for the first two seasons, which at the time of
55
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:20,840
me recording this was only the two seasons, that we don't see too, too much time.
56
00:04:20,840 --> 00:04:23,440
We don't spend too, too much time with Yuzuhiro.
57
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:28,640
But the times we do see her on the screen, it's typically Senku's giving her some type
58
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:33,120
of, you know, some type of task that he needs completed, right?
59
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,900
It could do whatever science thing that he decides he's doing at that point in time.
60
00:04:37,900 --> 00:04:43,840
And even though she doesn't fully understand it every time, she still goes above and beyond
61
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:46,320
to make sure that it gets done.
62
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:53,880
And she trusts Senku's judgment and she just fulfills her task to the best of her abilities.
63
00:04:53,880 --> 00:05:00,280
And for me, the takeaway of that is, you know, when you are, or there's something that you've
64
00:05:00,280 --> 00:05:05,840
been given to do or something of your own, you know, something you decided to do for
65
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:07,400
yourself, right?
66
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,040
Is that you just give it your all.
67
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:17,040
You give it your 100% attention while you're doing it and don't slack off, really.
68
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,800
Because I've been guilty of this.
69
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:25,280
Why I have split, not split decision, what's the word I'm looking for?
70
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:28,160
Come on guys, help me out.
71
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,000
The split attention rather, right?
72
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,800
You think we can multitask, but we really can't.
73
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,400
All we're doing is task switching, right?
74
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,720
We're switching our focus from one thing to the other and just doing that really, really
75
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,240
fast.
76
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:49,480
And you're really not giving, not giving your all to either, either one of those tasks.
77
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:56,520
And for me personally, I just had to learn to say, hey, for this block of time or this
78
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,400
like 30 minutes, an hour, however long, I'm only going to focus on this.
79
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:01,760
Like I'm only going to do this.
80
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:06,800
I'm not going to worry about anything else that I have to do during this time.
81
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:13,680
And that's allowed me to get a, just a lot more stuff done, just in quantity.
82
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,120
But also it's also improves the quality of the things that I'm doing, whether it was
83
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:23,760
during school, I was writing papers or working on a project for work, doing tickets, working
84
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:28,360
on a project, doing things like that, answering emails, what have you.
85
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:33,080
For this podcast, when I'm writing my episode scripts, when I'm researching the different
86
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:39,560
characters and the themes and things like that, getting myself ready to record all of
87
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:47,240
these things, when I give myself the time and I just focus in and only focus on those
88
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:52,960
things, then the outcome is that much better, right?
89
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,240
At least to me, maybe you guys will let me know if I'm doing a good job or not in terms
90
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:03,080
of the podcast, but I know it's worked for me and I have a pretty good feeling it's going
91
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:09,240
to work for you too, just to really say, Hey, for this amount of time, I'm only going to
92
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:10,240
do this.
93
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:11,240
I'm going to give it my all.
94
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,160
I'm not going to, you know, half it, right?
95
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:20,600
You finish the rest of that, but you're not, you're just not going to just go through the
96
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:21,600
motions, right?
97
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,360
You're actually going to, even if you don't want to, and it's kind of one of the biggest
98
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:31,160
things and getting ahead of myself here, but again, the main part I want you guys to get
99
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,680
out of this is just to be, be committed wholeheartedly.
100
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:39,360
Just go in whatever tasks that you're given, whatever thing that you're doing in that moment
101
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,480
of time, give it a hundred percent of your attention and give it a hundred percent of
102
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:49,800
your effort because it's going to pay, you pay off in dividends way down the road.
103
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:56,240
And again, like you see here, it just pretty much reminds us that not giving our all ultimately
104
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:02,160
just going to waste our time and effort to be fair, because if you're not getting better,
105
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,760
you're getting worse type of thing, right?
106
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:10,000
If you're not continuously trying to improve, then you're, you become complacent, then you
107
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,000
can start backsliding.
108
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,400
You can start undoing the things that you've done already.
109
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:15,720
And I don't want that for you.
110
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:16,720
You shouldn't want that for you.
111
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,440
I mean, I don't want that for myself.
112
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,680
You want to continuously get better.
113
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:27,320
And part of that is putting in the genuine effort that's required to get better.
114
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:32,120
And, and if you don't give it, give it your all, you don't give it your a hundred percent
115
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:36,760
attention, your a hundred percent, you know, effort, a hundred percent, your heart, your
116
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,400
blood, sweat and tears, all that, you know, cliche sayings.
117
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,680
If you don't, if you don't give it your all, you're not going to get all of it back.
118
00:08:44,680 --> 00:08:48,960
That's you know, I could put it into one point.
119
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:49,960
That's pretty much it.
120
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,800
If you don't give it your all, you're not going to get all of it back.
121
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:59,400
You're not going to get the results that you want and just be disappointed.
122
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,440
And so, so that was the first point, you know, whole heart of commitment.
123
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:07,800
The next point that Yuzuhiro shows us is patience.
124
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:14,360
And the best task that I found for this one, I was watching the anime is that Senku gave
125
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:20,400
Yuzuhiro the task of gathering all of the stone fragments from the, from the statues
126
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:27,240
that Tsukasa destroyed in order to give the people a chance at revival.
127
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:32,840
Because so again, for those who don't know, really know the story, Tsukasa is trying to
128
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,680
more or less create like a utopian like society, right?
129
00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:41,360
Getting rid of all the adults, essentially the corrupt adults that, you know, he saw
130
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,360
as tainted the world.
131
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:51,720
So he just going around destroying each and every statue of the, of adults that he found.
132
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:58,680
And Yuzuhiro's job for Senku was to gather those fragments up and put them together like
133
00:09:58,680 --> 00:10:04,800
a jigsaw puzzle, you know, and I'm laughing thinking about this because there's, there's
134
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:10,100
no way there's just, there's no way I'm going to sit there for, you know, in secret now
135
00:10:10,100 --> 00:10:12,560
because he had to do this in secret behind Tsukasa's back.
136
00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:20,080
So in secret for, you know, days, months on end of finding and gathering the pieces and
137
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:25,640
then gluing them all together in a way that they fit.
138
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:30,000
And this is just for a chance because Senku's idea was that if he uses the revival fluid,
139
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:36,760
which, which is what woke up all of them, if he can use it on the fragmented statues
140
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:44,320
that Yuzuhiro's putting back together when they revive, all the injuries should heal
141
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,520
and the person would be alive.
142
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:51,000
But even Senku wasn't sure that if that would work.
143
00:10:51,000 --> 00:11:00,760
And that whole scenario, rain truth, just for me and the personal stuff is just, again,
144
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:08,640
this podcast starting this movement as I call it, I don't know what was going to happen.
145
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,760
And I'm not even sure if any of this is going to work out in the end.
146
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,480
I mean, I have faith that it will.
147
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:14,480
Right.
148
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,240
And I hope it does, but I don't know.
149
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:18,240
You don't know for certain.
150
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:19,240
Right.
151
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:25,520
And it just kind of reminds me like, Hey, sometimes to have great outcomes, it often
152
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:31,560
comes with tedious tasks that we just don't want to do and we have to do them even without
153
00:11:31,560 --> 00:11:34,080
knowing what the outcome may be.
154
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,120
And basically, that's okay.
155
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,120
Okay.
156
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,120
Nate, what are you talking about?
157
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,360
How does this all tie into being committed?
158
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:46,120
Basically is we do the things that you don't want to do just for the chance of getting
159
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:47,840
what you want out of it.
160
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:48,840
Right.
161
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:53,680
I mean, going like, if you're in school right now, going to school, you know, study so you
162
00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:58,120
can take the test and pass the class because I don't know about you.
163
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,840
When I was in school, I didn't want to take the same stuff again.
164
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,440
Like, I don't want to do it the first time.
165
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,920
So why would I want to do it again?
166
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:10,680
So I did my due diligence and studying and making sure that I understood the material
167
00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:12,600
the first go around.
168
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:13,600
So I didn't fail.
169
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,600
So I didn't have to do it again.
170
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:20,480
And so I didn't have to hear my parents, you know, tell me, Oh, what are you doing here?
171
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:21,480
Right.
172
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:22,480
Come on.
173
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:23,480
We've all been there.
174
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,360
We're going to do it on one point or another.
175
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:30,160
And you can just take that scenario and you translate it to whatever area in your life
176
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:36,400
you want to relate it to, because every everything that we do is going to require us to have
177
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:41,080
some patience, because inevitably we're going to have to do things that we don't want to
178
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,040
do consistently on a consistent basis.
179
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:49,560
And we've talked to the ones who are in the workforce right now who are working jobs that
180
00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:51,280
they don't really want to do.
181
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,880
It may not be the best job.
182
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,260
I mean I'd be the worst job but at the end of the day you don't want to do it
183
00:12:56,260 --> 00:12:58,960
but you have to because you believe in
184
00:12:59,740 --> 00:13:05,220
You know, you believe in getting that promotion or you believe in your dream that you're building up on the side or whatever the case
185
00:13:05,220 --> 00:13:10,820
Maybe but you have to do things that we don't want to do and we got to stick with it
186
00:13:10,820 --> 00:13:14,800
right until the payoff until we see the payoff on the other end and
187
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:21,200
And obviously again just to be to truly be great at something we yeah
188
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,360
He must be willing to trust the process and willing to see it through
189
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:30,420
even if the outcome isn't clear even if we're not completely certain of
190
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:36,960
You know what what lies on the other end of it? We have to just trust just the process and
191
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,800
Take it step by step and take it day by day. And yeah, I'm not talking about
192
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:46,860
Making massive changes. I'm not talking about just doing you whole a hundred
193
00:13:47,860 --> 00:13:52,020
What I don't make a hundred videos or whatever in the span of two hours, right? I'm not talking about that
194
00:13:52,020 --> 00:13:57,660
It's just being consistent being committed and just like the previous point giving it your all
195
00:13:57,660 --> 00:14:00,660
even if you don't want to do it, even if it's just
196
00:14:01,500 --> 00:14:06,380
The worst thing you can possibly imagine to do in this particular moment of time
197
00:14:06,380 --> 00:14:10,220
But if you give it your all and give it your best and you do that consistently
198
00:14:10,220 --> 00:14:13,140
Then it's just it's all gonna work out in the end, right?
199
00:14:13,140 --> 00:14:18,540
it's all gonna come back and it's all gonna just be poured back into you and
200
00:14:21,060 --> 00:14:24,220
That's how that's how God sees it as how God
201
00:14:25,420 --> 00:14:30,460
Tells us in all honesty is that you know, we we are
202
00:14:30,940 --> 00:14:34,660
Built for long suffering, right the things that we're doing now
203
00:14:34,660 --> 00:14:39,660
Suck they may suck. They may not benefit us immediately
204
00:14:39,660 --> 00:14:41,660
It may not give us an instant gratification
205
00:14:42,220 --> 00:14:49,500
But in the long run in the long run, it's gonna pay off and it's gonna be way better
206
00:14:49,500 --> 00:14:53,420
Than any amount of gratification you can get right now
207
00:14:53,420 --> 00:14:59,620
And I know that's hard thing to think about and the hard thing to visualize because again, you can't see the future
208
00:14:59,620 --> 00:15:04,380
Or at least I can if you can then hey, you got it
209
00:15:04,900 --> 00:15:06,900
but
210
00:15:07,860 --> 00:15:13,060
If we just take the time and sacrifice now for the chance at a better reward in the future
211
00:15:14,980 --> 00:15:16,980
Then again, it's just gonna pay off
212
00:15:17,220 --> 00:15:19,620
It's gonna pay off because if you Zuhira
213
00:15:19,940 --> 00:15:24,300
Didn't take the time to find those stone fragments glue them together and
214
00:15:24,300 --> 00:15:29,500
Put all these people back together like jugs all jigsaw puzzles then
215
00:15:29,820 --> 00:15:34,460
The the outcome of them living would have never been never been the thing, right?
216
00:15:34,460 --> 00:15:40,540
They just would have been dead, you know point blank period and it's over but because she
217
00:15:41,740 --> 00:15:45,460
She took the task, you know, she didn't really like it
218
00:15:45,460 --> 00:15:51,580
She didn't really enjoy it and there was dangers for her own life in doing the task because again, she did it behind her back
219
00:15:51,580 --> 00:15:56,620
and that's a you know a treacherous move by her right and
220
00:15:57,100 --> 00:16:00,580
Even though there was no merit for her in that present moment
221
00:16:01,380 --> 00:16:06,900
She still did it. She did she still gave it her all and she saw through to the end and
222
00:16:07,420 --> 00:16:09,740
The result the reward was
223
00:16:10,260 --> 00:16:16,860
You know saving people's lives. She literally saved people's lives by doing what she did now. I'm not saying that
224
00:16:16,860 --> 00:16:21,860
Whatever you're doing. It can be as world change or life altering as
225
00:16:22,540 --> 00:16:27,020
What she did and I'm not I'm also not saying that it it couldn't be right
226
00:16:27,020 --> 00:16:31,900
We just never know and it's kind of the beauty and the scary thing about life, right? You just never know
227
00:16:32,380 --> 00:16:39,860
How the decisions decisions we make the choices we make and things we do now are gonna pay off in in the future and
228
00:16:40,860 --> 00:16:42,860
So that's why I'm just saying that
229
00:16:42,860 --> 00:16:50,740
We're gonna pay off in in the future and so that's why I'm just like hey, let's just do the best we can now
230
00:16:50,740 --> 00:16:54,580
You know suffer a little bit now delay that gratification now
231
00:16:54,580 --> 00:17:01,820
So we just have we send ourselves up for a better chance in the future and the last point I want to go over is
232
00:17:02,380 --> 00:17:04,380
testing so
233
00:17:05,020 --> 00:17:08,060
What do you mean by that Nate? Well, I'm about to tell you and
234
00:17:08,060 --> 00:17:12,500
testing is basically it's easy to be committed to something when things are easy and
235
00:17:14,620 --> 00:17:20,460
You know going smooth and maybe first starting off you're all gonna hoe about it you have that energy and you're like, yep
236
00:17:20,460 --> 00:17:23,900
This is what I want to do. This is what I'm gonna do and nothing's gonna stop me
237
00:17:25,020 --> 00:17:32,540
But we are truly tested when things aren't going our way or when things get hard, right when life hits you in the face
238
00:17:32,540 --> 00:17:38,620
How do we respond to it is essentially what the testing point is and based on what the question I'm asking
239
00:17:38,620 --> 00:17:45,700
How do you respond when things don't go your way when life throws a monkey wrench into your plans, right?
240
00:17:45,700 --> 00:17:49,420
And you got a pivot. Are you flexible enough to say okay?
241
00:17:50,020 --> 00:17:54,140
This wasn't what I planned on doing is it wasn't what I planned at all
242
00:17:54,740 --> 00:17:57,180
but let's see how we can navigate this or
243
00:17:58,340 --> 00:18:01,500
do you try to stay rigid and end up breaking because
244
00:18:01,500 --> 00:18:03,500
You're not flexible enough, right?
245
00:18:04,220 --> 00:18:10,940
Because I mean I'm serious. Your life is gonna throw you curveballs, right? It's just it's inevitable if it hasn't already and
246
00:18:12,340 --> 00:18:15,380
There sometimes they may come rapid-fire
247
00:18:15,900 --> 00:18:20,780
Sometimes they may they may come once every 10 years or so, right?
248
00:18:20,780 --> 00:18:23,660
And it may be severe when it may just be you know
249
00:18:24,700 --> 00:18:28,700
You woke you woke up on the wrong side of the bed for one day, right? But
250
00:18:28,700 --> 00:18:33,420
At the end of the day all of that still plays a part into how do you how do you respond to it?
251
00:18:35,900 --> 00:18:39,460
Seriously, how do you respond to I want you guys to take a moment and think about it
252
00:18:39,460 --> 00:18:41,460
you know think about all the
253
00:18:42,020 --> 00:18:47,940
The recent times where things haven't gone your way or things have gone a little bit harder
254
00:18:47,940 --> 00:18:49,940
How do you respond to it?
255
00:18:50,300 --> 00:18:52,820
And you know for me for me personally
256
00:18:52,820 --> 00:18:58,540
Again, you guys know about my faith. I pray I pray on it because I used to what I used to do
257
00:18:58,540 --> 00:19:01,340
was just getting mad and upset and just
258
00:19:01,660 --> 00:19:07,180
angry and when when my plans were disrupted if they were even if something small as
259
00:19:07,780 --> 00:19:08,300
like
260
00:19:08,300 --> 00:19:13,420
After church my family's like hey, we need to stop at the store real quick for whatever the reason like, you know
261
00:19:13,420 --> 00:19:15,420
Just get upset. I mean I got
262
00:19:16,060 --> 00:19:20,300
400 different things I need to do that I plan on doing right after church and I
263
00:19:20,300 --> 00:19:23,980
was gonna take me that much longer to do because we decided to go somewhere else and
264
00:19:24,860 --> 00:19:26,860
In the grand scheme of things is that okay?
265
00:19:26,860 --> 00:19:30,460
I'm you're looking at maybe 30 minutes later on your big wolf
266
00:19:30,460 --> 00:19:36,060
But in the moment I was upset because the things I planned on doing were being disrupted
267
00:19:36,540 --> 00:19:37,980
but now
268
00:19:37,980 --> 00:19:40,940
You know, I'm now I just look at it and just say okay
269
00:19:40,940 --> 00:19:44,700
All right, it's not gonna stop me from doing what I was gonna do. Anyway, it's just gonna
270
00:19:44,700 --> 00:19:46,700
I just gotta go about it a different way and
271
00:19:46,700 --> 00:19:49,540
Just that subtle mindset shift
272
00:19:49,860 --> 00:19:55,660
Just just release me from a lot of a lot of different things, but also gave me a different perspective on
273
00:19:56,660 --> 00:19:59,860
Just life in general right cuz life is unpredictable
274
00:20:00,580 --> 00:20:03,580
It's crazy. It's chaotic. It's all these different things
275
00:20:04,220 --> 00:20:05,740
but
276
00:20:05,740 --> 00:20:10,700
We do have control over ourselves and how we react to it and
277
00:20:10,700 --> 00:20:16,620
I mean, that's why I got a test us you to see how we react to these things and if we're if we are ready
278
00:20:16,940 --> 00:20:22,140
for the next level for the the next opportunity, you know and
279
00:20:23,180 --> 00:20:26,300
And so as I just want to encourage you guys all of you to
280
00:20:26,860 --> 00:20:33,820
Take stock of yourself and just kind of reflect on how do you respond to things when in life hits you hard?
281
00:20:34,380 --> 00:20:36,380
and
282
00:20:36,380 --> 00:20:40,940
Again, not saying it's gonna be easy because it's not it's not
283
00:20:41,660 --> 00:20:46,620
But I just want to encourage you just to take it and take it one step at a time, right?
284
00:20:46,620 --> 00:20:52,140
Just take it one step at a time just to remain steadfast in your faith in
285
00:20:52,700 --> 00:20:59,500
Your belief that is all gonna work out for your good because again, that's another thing he said, right?
286
00:20:59,500 --> 00:21:05,260
Is all he takes all things he works it out for your good even the bad things even the things that seem like
287
00:21:06,300 --> 00:21:08,780
Are the worst things in the world to you?
288
00:21:09,340 --> 00:21:15,260
They're all gonna work out for your benefit in in the end. You just have to be again steadfast
289
00:21:15,660 --> 00:21:18,700
Steadfast in your faith, you know, give it a hundred percent
290
00:21:19,340 --> 00:21:22,620
Give your face a hundred percent commitment and trust in the process
291
00:21:22,620 --> 00:21:29,980
and like Yuzuhira, she had to remain steadfast in her faith faith with with Senku
292
00:21:30,540 --> 00:21:34,460
You know after he left after Senku left her and Taiju for over a year
293
00:21:35,260 --> 00:21:39,020
In the hopes that he would build a kingdom of science in order to fight Tsukasa
294
00:21:39,020 --> 00:21:44,620
She had to believe that he was gonna one survive out in the wilderness by himself because if you know Senku
295
00:21:44,860 --> 00:21:49,100
He's extremely strong and he's very strong and he's very strong and he's very strong and he's very strong
296
00:21:49,100 --> 00:21:53,020
In the wilderness by himself because if you know Senku, he's extremely smart
297
00:21:53,100 --> 00:21:58,700
But when it comes to the physical anything physical, he's he's like a fish out of water. He's he's he's done
298
00:21:59,180 --> 00:22:01,340
So not only he had to survive he had to find
299
00:22:02,060 --> 00:22:03,980
other people out there
300
00:22:03,980 --> 00:22:05,980
That he that he could
301
00:22:05,980 --> 00:22:07,980
You know they could band together
302
00:22:08,060 --> 00:22:14,460
Into rivals Tsukasa and in his army and this is Senku without having the revival fluid so he can revive any other
303
00:22:14,940 --> 00:22:16,940
statues any other
304
00:22:16,940 --> 00:22:24,940
modern day people so it was just it was the variable the odds were not in in their favor, but she remains steadfast she
305
00:22:25,740 --> 00:22:30,700
Hunkered down and said, okay, i'm gonna believe in it and i'm just gonna do my part when the time comes
306
00:22:31,580 --> 00:22:33,020
and
307
00:22:33,020 --> 00:22:38,460
And and even after the fact even after they beat Tsukasa Yuzuhira, she constantly
308
00:22:39,260 --> 00:22:43,500
Constantly worked hard and just doing whatever was needed of her in order to help contribute
309
00:22:43,500 --> 00:22:47,820
to rebuilding the kingdom of science after they beat Tsukasa and they
310
00:22:48,380 --> 00:22:52,540
merged the two kingdoms together and they were you know ramping up production again
311
00:22:53,020 --> 00:22:57,020
she was just there ready to do any and everything and
312
00:22:58,220 --> 00:22:59,340
Yeah
313
00:22:59,340 --> 00:23:05,260
Hey, that's it. We made it to the end. Congrats. Give you guys give you guys a round of applause pat on the back
314
00:23:05,500 --> 00:23:06,780
All that good stuff
315
00:23:06,780 --> 00:23:12,620
Um again, just to recap the three points are you know have wholehearted commitment, you know, whatever you do
316
00:23:12,620 --> 00:23:16,140
Whatever you're trying to do whatever task you're doing in any moment of time
317
00:23:16,940 --> 00:23:20,700
Give it 100. Right? Just go all in you know
318
00:23:21,420 --> 00:23:25,900
And just just just give it in all you're getting all the blood sweat and tears just get all of that
319
00:23:25,980 --> 00:23:27,980
You know get it get it all out
320
00:23:28,940 --> 00:23:31,180
point number two is just to have patience because
321
00:23:32,060 --> 00:23:34,700
Everything great everything worth having is going to take time
322
00:23:35,420 --> 00:23:38,220
And we don't know how much time that's going to it's going to take
323
00:23:38,220 --> 00:23:41,900
But I do know you're never going to get the reward if you stop
324
00:23:42,540 --> 00:23:47,820
Right if you stop you're never going to get there. But if you're in long you keep going take it one step at a time
325
00:23:48,540 --> 00:23:55,980
Eventually, you're gonna you're gonna make it you're gonna get there. So don't worry and the last part is testing that during this journey during this
326
00:23:56,540 --> 00:24:00,460
Basically, it's essentially testing our patience right during this journey during this
327
00:24:01,900 --> 00:24:04,940
Process that we're going through you're going to be tested
328
00:24:05,660 --> 00:24:06,700
and
329
00:24:06,700 --> 00:24:08,540
and
330
00:24:08,540 --> 00:24:12,940
Don't look at it. Don't look at it as a pass or fail look at it as a okay
331
00:24:13,660 --> 00:24:19,340
How can I improve from the last time right because again, as long as you have breath in your lungs, there's no failing
332
00:24:19,340 --> 00:24:24,220
or you you can he's gonna give you the test as many times as it takes and
333
00:24:25,340 --> 00:24:29,820
You just got to just get ready long as you're learning from each and every attempt then hey, you're doing good
334
00:24:29,820 --> 00:24:33,740
You're doing better than most people to be honest if you have enough self-awareness to know
335
00:24:33,740 --> 00:24:40,380
Hey, I can do better than I did last time or or well, I know if I stick through this
336
00:24:40,940 --> 00:24:43,900
Rough patch this you know down moment
337
00:24:44,380 --> 00:24:49,900
Then he's gonna give me to the other side because he's done it before and that's just the beauty of it
338
00:24:49,900 --> 00:24:54,700
that's what the whole commitment is because just as we had to be committed to ourselves and
339
00:24:55,540 --> 00:24:58,460
the task we have here on earth God is committed to us and
340
00:24:58,460 --> 00:25:04,980
He's sure he's showing up in multiple times in your own life that you can think about and reflect on and
341
00:25:05,860 --> 00:25:07,940
And I because I know he showed up
342
00:25:08,620 --> 00:25:10,620
Plenty of times in my own in my life
343
00:25:10,940 --> 00:25:16,020
but again guys just remember be committed and have the patience and
344
00:25:16,940 --> 00:25:20,820
Just get ready for the test, right? You do the best you can and
345
00:25:21,780 --> 00:25:25,140
again, you're gonna you're gonna make it you're gonna make it to the other side and
346
00:25:25,140 --> 00:25:31,540
Again, just remind you so use a hero approach reminds us all of the importance of you guys giving our best effort and
347
00:25:31,540 --> 00:25:39,140
Bracing patience and staying committed even with faced with challenges because life is hard, but it's not impossible, right?
348
00:25:40,100 --> 00:25:41,380
