Order of Man

00:00:00.000 You're a man of action. You live life to the fullest. Embrace your fears and boldly chart

00:00:04.980 your own path. When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time. Every time.

00:00:10.440 You are not easily deterred or defeated. Rugged. Resilient. Strong. This is your life. This is who

00:00:17.160 you are. This is who you will become. At the end of the day, and after all is said and done,

00:00:22.700 you can call yourself a man. Gentlemen, what is going on today? My name is Ryan Mickler,

00:00:27.600 and I am the host and the founder of this podcast and the Order of Man movement. Welcome here and

00:00:33.820 welcome back. We're coming off the back of an incredible event that we did last weekend called

00:00:39.220 the Maine event. We had 100 men come out to my property here in Maine. We spent three days

00:00:44.880 together building up camaraderie and accountability and brotherhood and teaching each other systems

00:00:50.460 and tools and resources and having conversations that we need to thrive as men, as fathers,

00:00:55.340 husbands, business owners, community leaders. That's exactly what this podcast is about,

00:01:00.400 but also what this movement is about. It was pretty cool to see 100 guys gather here and

00:01:04.800 get together and have these types of conversations, participate in some activities like jujitsu and

00:01:09.800 throwing hatchets and archery and all the other wonderful things we did. Guys, if you are interested,

00:01:15.400 we have already released the dates for next year, which is October 7th through the 9th and a special

00:01:22.160 Iron Council Dinner on the 6th. So that's October 7th through the 9th with the Iron Council Dinner on

00:01:27.020 the 6th, 2022. I think we're at 40% sold already on that event. We had a lot of guys who came to this

00:01:35.300 event who immediately signed up for the second event. So if you are interested, you better do it

00:01:40.160 quickly and you can reserve it a year out ahead of time. And you can do that by going to

00:01:44.720 orderofman.com slash main event, orderofman.com slash main event. And main is in the state main.

00:01:50.880 So orderofman.com slash main event. All right, guys, with that said, let's get into the conversation.

00:01:56.820 Now this conversation came from an earlier question that I had in the week, because one of the things

00:02:00.800 we did at the main event was we did a live Ask Me Anything with my co-host and friend,

00:02:05.860 Kip Sorensen. We did it right here in my barn with a hundred guys here on the property. So if you

00:02:10.620 listened on Wednesday, you probably heard that. But there was a question that came up that I thought,

00:02:14.720 warranted further discussion because it's one that gets brought up all the time in various forms.

00:02:20.380 But the question generally and simply is what is the difference or how do you know when you're

00:02:26.200 being complacent or you're content with your life? Now, I will throw this out here. First and foremost,

00:02:31.720 you might choose to use a different word than content or complacent. Maybe instead of content,

00:02:37.260 you use satisfied or fulfilled, fill in the blank, but the message is the same.

00:02:43.720 So let's not get hung up on the semantics. Please listen to what I'm saying and see where

00:02:49.440 in the spectrum of things you fall, whether you're being complacent with life or you're content with

00:02:55.140 your life. And there is a difference. There's a very distinct difference. I'm going to talk with

00:02:58.740 you about what those five differences are. And I also want to suggest to you that being content

00:03:04.020 doesn't necessarily mean that you aren't progressing because a lot of people think that. And that's the

00:03:08.980 first thing you need to realize is that somebody who's complacent isn't really progressing.

00:03:13.640 That's step number one. They're stagnant, right? They don't progress. They don't move forward. They

00:03:18.660 don't grow. They don't learn new things. They're so content, not, excuse me. See, here's where we're

00:03:25.100 getting tripped up on the semantics here. They're so complacent that they aren't looking ahead. They

00:03:30.780 think that they can rest on their laurels, that nothing bad is ever going to happen to them.

00:03:34.820 When I was in Iraq, one of the things that we had, as we went outside of the wire at the gate,

00:03:39.480 it said complacency kills as in literal death. Now your complacency probably won't kill you,

00:03:45.940 but it might kill your marriage. It might kill your business. It might get you to be passed over 0.97

00:03:51.700 for a promotion at work. It might alienate or ostracize the relationship that you have with

00:03:56.960 your children or other people. So it isn't literal death for you, but at the same time, complacency kills

00:04:02.500 and it will hinder your performance. So the first thing I wanted to address, the first factor is

00:04:08.320 when differentiating whether or not you're complacent or you're content is complacency

00:04:14.100 equals stagnation. You've reached some pinnacle of success in your own mind, or you don't think

00:04:21.680 you're worthy and you don't think it's worth pursuit and all these other nihilistic type reasons. And so

00:04:25.740 you stagnate. And the, the alternative to that is somebody who's content, who is evolving,

00:04:31.900 right? They realize that they're satisfied and they're happy with where they are. They realize

00:04:36.580 they've done wonderful things. Maybe they've had some level of success or maybe not, but regardless,

00:04:41.980 they're always looking for new ways to grow and to expand and to improve and to get better.

00:04:48.120 So being content doesn't necessarily mean that you're not going to grow. I believe wholeheartedly that

00:04:54.000 it's possible that you can be content with your life. Or again, if you choose to use the word

00:04:58.840 fulfilled or satisfied, but still strive for growth. And that's one of those things that,

00:05:04.160 that the word content means to me is yes, I like where my life is. I'm satisfied with where my life

00:05:11.280 is. I'm fulfilled in the work that I'm doing, but I am moving forward. I am progressing. I am

00:05:17.020 getting stronger. I am sharpening my mind. I'm building my body. I'm building my bank account. I'm

00:05:21.640 building relationships. I'm learning how to add more value in people's lives. And just because

00:05:28.080 you're growing and improving and evolving, it doesn't mean that that is at odds with your desire

00:05:32.940 to be satisfied, fulfilled, and or content. So that's point number one. Point number two

00:05:38.420 is somebody who's complacent typically is going to have more of a scarcity mindset,

00:05:43.280 right? They're going to hold on. They're going to cling on to what they have. They're not going to

00:05:48.120 want to let it go. They're not going to want to take risks because what if they lose what they have,

00:05:51.980 they're going to hoard. I really start thinking about the parable of the talents when it comes

00:05:56.060 to complacency versus being content. Because if you look at what that parable says, there's three men

00:06:02.100 and the master gives them each an equal amount of talents or coins. It's a metaphor and, or parable,

00:06:09.500 if you will. And so the first, and I'm paraphrasing here, so bear with me. I might butcher this a

00:06:16.380 little bit, but the first man takes his talents that the master gives them and he hides them,

00:06:21.440 right? He's complacent. He hides them because he doesn't want to lose them. So he hoards them.

00:06:26.820 He hides them. He doesn't share his gifts and his talents and abilities with the world.

00:06:30.340 And he certainly doesn't go out there and magnify the talents that he's been given.

00:06:35.300 The second man goes out. And if I remember correctly, doubles his talent. So he goes and

00:06:39.420 utilizes them to some degree. He puts himself out there. He's probably playing it safe. He's not going

00:06:43.940 all in. He's not risking as much as maybe he could or should. And he's really not pursuing

00:06:47.880 maximum return or value exchange of the talents he has. And then the third servant goes out and

00:06:55.520 he maximizes it. And he returns his talent tenfold. So he goes out into the world and he shares his

00:06:59.900 light. He shares his talents. He invests correctly. He's prudent about the decisions he's making,

00:07:04.580 yet he's taking risk, calculated risk, and he returns it tenfold. And what does the master do?

00:07:09.000 Well, the master comes back and he takes from the other two servants, the one who hit his talents

00:07:13.620 and the one who just simply doubled his talents. And he gives those talents to the individual who

00:07:19.000 went out and magnified the talents that he has. So are you the first servant, the one that's

00:07:25.240 complacent, the one that's afraid, the one that hoards his talents, that hides his light,

00:07:30.060 that isn't willing to take risks, that isn't willing to share with the world? This also falls in line

00:07:35.320 with the silent majority mindset that you hear so much of. Or are you the third servant?

00:07:41.700 And the third servant goes out and he has abundance mindset. So scarcity versus abundance mindset.

00:07:48.280 So the third servant says, I'm going to take what little I have and I'm going to go magnify it. I'm

00:07:53.320 going to go out of value. I'm going to improve my station. I'm going to improve my life. I'm going

00:07:58.780 to improve other people's lives. And I'm going to go out and I'm going to utilize the talents that I

00:08:02.760 have to create more abundance and prosperity in my life. And somebody who's content with themselves

00:08:07.900 has a level of confidence, at least enough to go out into the world and take those calculated risks

00:08:13.160 and then return to the master with his magnified talents. So as you're thinking about what I'm going

00:08:20.080 through today, and I've got three more I want to share here with you, ask yourself, which one are

00:08:24.240 you? Or do you fall somewhere in the middle on the spectrum of complacent versus content? So again,

00:08:29.740 point number one, somebody stagnant versus somebody who's evolved. Point number two,

00:08:33.880 somebody who's scarce versus somebody who's abundant in their mindset. Point number three,

00:08:38.860 are you oblivious to your surroundings and your threats and the challenges and the evolving nature

00:08:44.820 of society and culture and economics and everything else that's going on? Are you like a child,

00:08:51.040 innocent, like a child who has the blindfold pulled over his eyes, or are you at peace? Now,

00:08:56.860 you might not think initially when you hear that, that those two things are synonymous,

00:09:03.380 actually not synonymous, that they're opposite. Okay. You might not think that oblivious versus

00:09:07.660 peaceful, peaceful, excuse me, if I can say that. So the oblivious individual doesn't know what's

00:09:12.140 going on. No clue. Not only innocent, in fact, worse than that, ignorant. Innocent is

00:09:18.840 a little naive, but ignorance is just, to me, it's like willfully not knowing what you need to know.

00:09:26.620 And it's all out there, guys. Everything you need to know about growing a business,

00:09:30.020 managing a relationship, working with your clients, developing a relationship with your

00:09:35.180 children, it's all there. It's all available, much of which we've talked about. So are you oblivious?

00:09:40.020 Now, what's the problem with being oblivious? Well, you're leaving yourself open and vulnerable to

00:09:44.920 potential loss. So for example, maybe you believe that because you have a good nine to five job and

00:09:54.360 you've been working there for the last 20 years or longer, that somehow you have job security.

00:10:00.700 Well, if you believe that up until 2019, you probably got kicked in the pants in 2019 because

00:10:08.140 of the reaction to COVID. Okay. So was it really as secure as you thought? Did you have money set aside?

00:10:14.620 Did you have a fund, an emergency fund tucked away? Did you have opportunities to make more

00:10:19.180 money? Did you have provisions, food storage, et cetera, put aside so that if you had a rainy day,

00:10:24.500 probably not. And that means that you are a complacent individual. Now, I know some of you

00:10:29.560 are hearing this and probably don't like me calling you out, but that's the reality. You're complacent.

00:10:35.200 And so I hope you've been able to recover from that, but let it be a lesson that the next time

00:10:38.860 moving forward and don't believe that there isn't going to be a next time. There certainly will.

00:10:42.480 We don't know what it's going to look like. We don't know when it's going to happen,

00:10:45.000 but there will be a next time that you take this moment as a learning opportunity for how to lead

00:10:49.600 your life as a content individual versus a complacent individual. Now, where does the

00:10:55.640 at peace portion of this come into play for somebody who's content? Well, somebody who is peaceful

00:11:01.200 is somebody who is prepared. So for example, I can be at peace with my job because if Apple,

00:11:10.480 iTunes decided one day they wanted to shut this off or our payment processor decided they didn't

00:11:15.680 like the conversations or topics or things that I was doing and decided to cut off payment processing

00:11:21.140 for whatever reason, I've got a nest egg. I've got some money set aside. I've got food storage.

00:11:26.500 I've got provisions set aside that will get my family and I through that difficult and challenging

00:11:31.140 time. So what does that lead to? Well, it leads to peace, right? Are you oblivious or are you

00:11:37.220 peaceful? I can be at peace because I know I'm prepared. I know I've got the skillset. I know

00:11:43.180 I'm developing the network. I know I've got the provision, financial, food, et cetera, set aside

00:11:49.140 should and when that rainy day happens. So I can be at peace, which what does that allow me to do?

00:11:54.380 It allows me to progress into other areas of my life, right? It's almost like Maslow's hierarchy of

00:12:00.300 needs. If I have that base, fundamental, foundational need taken care of, then I can

00:12:07.100 evolve and be more sophisticated in what I go after. So if I know, for example, the bills are

00:12:11.740 going to be paid and the mortgage is going to be paid or better yet, I don't have a mortgage at all

00:12:14.880 and all the cars are paid off and I've got money set aside and I'm developing and building a network

00:12:19.000 that can help me with opportunities that I can present opportunities to and that's checked off the

00:12:24.100 list, then I can move into serving you more effectively. I can look at other calculated risks.

00:12:29.660 I can, I can experiment with events, for example, that I want to run and I can do more because I'm

00:12:36.920 at peace because I have those basic foundational fundamental principles or needs checked off the

00:12:42.000 list. So if you don't, the way you fix this to move from the complacency to the content is that

00:12:47.600 you start looking at where you're weak. You're not, you're no longer oblivious. The blindfold has been

00:12:52.660 lifted, man. I really need to get my finances in order, man. I really need to lose that 50 pounds.

00:12:57.480 I really need to stop drinking. I really need to have some conversations with my wife. 0.79

00:13:02.140 My wife and I, I, uh, followed her over to the mechanic today. And then she got in my truck and 0.70

00:13:07.340 we drove home and I gave her a ride home and we just had an amazing conversation. It was a 10 to

00:13:11.440 12 minute drive. And, you know, we didn't just listen to the radio and sit in silence. We had an

00:13:15.820 amazing conversation about how our event went last weekend and what she thought we could improve and

00:13:21.640 what I thought we could improve and how she feeling and how I'm feeling and all of these things.

00:13:25.280 And it was an amazing 12 minute conversation, uh, that these are the types of things that I can

00:13:29.840 now focus on because I'm not worried about making the mortgage. So are you oblivious or are you at

00:13:36.560 peace? That's number three. Number four, somebody who's complacent is passive. And this kind of goes

00:13:43.120 into the oblivious thing, but they wait for opportunities, right? Like I'm complacent. I'm

00:13:47.240 good. Everything's okay. And so if an opportunity knocks on the door, you know, maybe I'll take it.

00:13:51.060 Uh, and they believe in luck, right? Oh, well that guy just got lucky. He was in the right place at

00:13:55.800 the right time. That's not true. He was out there getting it. He was getting after it. He was creating

00:13:59.920 opportunities and potential. And you may not be able to formulate the connection of how that happened,

00:14:03.500 but I guarantee that there's something that he did specifically that led to one thing, which led to

00:14:08.820 another, which led to another. And eventually, uh, so far down the line, he gets an opportunity

00:14:13.580 and the average man can't really formulate how that happened because they think, well, he just got

00:14:19.520 lucky, right? He's passive. Well, isn't that how you get successful? Like, doesn't somebody just

00:14:25.240 knock on your door and tell you that they want you to, uh, you know, star in the next James Bond

00:14:29.760 movie or whatever. And, uh, or, or, or a big client comes knocking on your door and says, Hey, you know,

00:14:34.880 we want you to do this, uh, seven figure deal with us. Like that doesn't happen. And if it does,

00:14:40.180 it's very rarely and it's not predictable. And so maybe even if you do happen to get lucky now and

00:14:46.380 again, it isn't predictable, it isn't sustainable, and it won't last for any amount of time because

00:14:51.060 you haven't developed and built the skillset, the mindset needed to systematically and predictably

00:14:58.860 achieve the results that you want. So are you sitting by waiting for opportunities to come to you?

00:15:05.580 And even worse, maybe you're a victim. Maybe you think that the reason you're not getting ahead

00:15:11.220 is because X, Y, and D Z did A, B, and C to you. Like the reason that you're not ahead or can't

00:15:19.640 fix your marriage is because your dad was an asshole or that you had some toxic relationships previous in 1.00

00:15:26.140 your life. Or the reason you can't get that promotion is because your boss hates you and he's 1.00

00:15:29.980 playing off as politics. Now, some of that might be true, but again, what can you do about it?

00:15:35.880 Do you passively let it, let it go and hope that maybe one day somebody will acknowledge and recognize

00:15:41.500 you and how wonderful you are? Or are you a content individual who happens to be more assertive?

00:15:47.520 See, again, these aren't at odds being content and being assertive. Some people think they are,

00:15:51.960 they're not. I can be happy. I can be satisfied. I can like where I am. I can feel confident in who I am.

00:15:58.660 I can have clarity and focus with regards to where I am today and still have a level of assertiveness

00:16:05.840 that will get me to the point that I want to go tomorrow. Look, just because you're content with

00:16:10.120 your life doesn't mean that you're completely satisfied and there's no room for growth.

00:16:14.940 That was point number one that I made with you today. It just means you're happy with where you

00:16:19.780 are. I'm very happy. And I talked to a gentleman this weekend, his name is John. And he said,

00:16:25.880 Ryan, I came out to this event two years ago because we did a main event two years ago when

00:16:29.800 we first moved up here to Maine. And he said, I came to this event two years ago and I can tell

00:16:34.380 over the past two years, there's an extreme difference in you. Yeah, there should be.

00:16:40.000 I don't say that to brag. I don't say that to boast or anything like that, but there should be a

00:16:43.680 difference because I'm satisfied. Why? Because I've done the work. So I'm content with the work that

00:16:49.600 I've done. I'm satisfied with that work. I'm proud of that work, but I know there's so much

00:16:54.880 left to do. And so I can be assertive. I can look for opportunities. I can find the right people and

00:17:00.000 bring them into the fold. I can learn new information that will help me improve as a

00:17:06.420 communicator with you and learn how to run better events. I can still do all of those things and I

00:17:11.100 should, and I'm not waiting for somebody to come to me. I'm actively looking for opportunities

00:17:15.440 and I'm making connections and I'm building my network and I'm creating financial stability and

00:17:19.660 even more so financial abundance so that I can take advantage of those opportunities when they

00:17:26.140 present themselves and they will. I want to be able to capitalize on those opportunities. And so

00:17:30.040 I have to be assertive in doing that. And then guys, the last one right here that I wanted to share

00:17:34.720 with you is a couple of different mindsets. If you're complacent, there's usually contention in your

00:17:40.760 life. That might sound a little counterintuitive because a lot of times we think of complacency as

00:17:46.460 this level of sedation. You're just completely sedated. You're cut off from the world. You don't

00:17:52.580 care about anything. Maybe you're a bit nihilistic about what happens to you or what happens to other

00:17:56.520 people. And you're just kind of coasting through life. But I actually think it's deeper than that.

00:18:01.020 I think there's a lot of contention for complacent people because they know, here's the deal. They know

00:18:06.820 they can do more deep in their heart and in their mind. And then in a soul, they know they can do

00:18:11.920 more. And yet they, they're not doing it. They're complacent. They're sitting around, they're sedated.

00:18:18.280 And so there's this war that's being waged. And I call the war, the war between the natural man

00:18:25.600 and what I would call the sovereign man, or maybe even potentially an evolved man. The natural man is

00:18:30.720 weak and he's lazy and he's cowardly and he's immediate gratification. He wants the results without the 0.99

00:18:35.380 effort. He's just blah. And the sovereign man or the evolved man is somebody who's constantly at war

00:18:42.760 and battle with that natural tendency of being weak and lazy and cowardly and pathetic. 0.97

00:18:48.040 And if you see yourself in your mind as this sovereign or evolved man, and that's who you 0.99

00:18:54.940 have a desire to be, and yet you aren't doing the work. And so what's actually manifesting itself

00:18:59.400 is this natural man that's contentious, right? There's friction. There's a gap. We call this

00:19:05.960 the integrity gap. There's a gap between the way you view yourself and the way that you're actually

00:19:09.880 showing up. And this contention manifests itself in all sorts of different and damaging and destructive

00:19:16.420 ways. You know, you take a look at the depression rates in men or drug abuse, alcohol abuse,

00:19:24.300 pornography use. You look at the rate of suicide, which studies suggest that's upwards of four to

00:19:29.580 five times that of women. Why is that? Because we see ourselves one way, and then we look at our

00:19:36.660 actions and they aren't in alignment with the way that we view ourselves. And then there's that

00:19:40.100 constant butting of heads between this natural cowardly man and this evolved or sovereign man that

00:19:46.160 we have a desire to be. So the complacent man is contentious. It might all be right up here in his

00:19:53.760 mind, but he is contentious. And the content man is gracious. He believes in abundance.

00:20:03.180 He expresses gratitude. He acknowledges that that he has around him. And I look around, for example,

00:20:10.420 with what we have here with order of man in my own personal life, I've got a beautiful wife.

00:20:15.300 I've got four beautiful children. We're all healthy. We're happy. We're productive. We're growing.

00:20:22.040 We're learning. We're adventuring. We're exploring. We're discovering together.

00:20:26.700 I look at my business, which is thriving. I look at the amount of men and people that we're impacting.

00:20:34.360 I look at my own level of personal health. And although maybe I have a few more pounds around

00:20:38.640 the midsection that I would necessarily like, I'm working towards being fit and lean and strong.

00:20:43.980 I'm going to jujitsu. I'm strength training. I'm doing these things that make me a better

00:20:47.240 man, a more capable man. Somebody that, as my hat says, can protect, provide, preside.

00:20:54.560 And I'm grateful for that. I have gratitude in my heart and my mind and my soul about that.

00:21:03.980 And the interesting thing about that, guys, is that as you're more grateful for what you have

00:21:07.860 and you acknowledge what you have, then you treat it differently, right? Like if you cared about

00:21:13.120 something, let's say a car, for example, you really saved and you sacrificed and you finally bought this

00:21:22.080 car that you've always wanted, well, you're going to treat it with a level of reverence and respect

00:21:26.760 versus if somebody just gave it to you, there wouldn't be as much value because you didn't earn

00:21:31.280 it. Somebody just gifted it to you, right? And because you worked hard for it, you have more gratitude for

00:21:40.340 it. And then what's interesting about this, and this, this is a concept, not a lot of people talk

00:21:44.540 about, but that when you are grateful for what you have, you treat it differently, which means you've

00:21:51.200 done your, you've done, or you will be doing the work to earn that, what you have. And then from there,

00:21:58.440 and this is what people don't talk a lot about. And I don't care whether you call it God or the

00:22:03.380 universe or a spirit or karma or whatever to me, God. So God says, Ryan, you have this and you're

00:22:15.540 gracious. You're grateful for it, which means there's a level of respect and reverence for that

00:22:19.920 thing, which also means that you're working hard and you're being diligent and you're being a good

00:22:23.780 steward over the resources that you have. And because of that, I'm going to give you more.

00:22:28.460 This goes back to the parable of the talents. I'm going to give you more. I'm going to give you

00:22:33.260 more abundance. I'm going to give you more prosperity. I'm going to give you more opportunities.

00:22:39.300 I'm going to give you more in your life, period, bottom line. So when you see guys who are like,

00:22:46.100 man, that guy always wins. Like everything he touches turns to gold. There's people I think of

00:22:51.620 in my own personal circle, you know, Pete Roberts, Andy Frisilla, Ed Milet, Jocko. I could go John

00:23:01.020 Dudley. I could go on and on. And these guys look like you see them. It's like, man, everything they

00:23:05.720 touch turns to gold and granted they have their challenges, of course. But the reason it feels

00:23:10.020 like that is because those men are good stewards over the resources they have. And they're expressing

00:23:15.600 gratitude for it, which means there's more reverence for it, which means they're more diligent,

00:23:20.080 which means that they're getting more reward because of their level of diligence.

00:23:25.280 This is not rocket science. It might feel a little woo-woo and kind of out there, but I promise you,

00:23:31.100 and that's why I said God or karma or the universe or whatever you choose to look at it. And some of

00:23:35.280 you guys maybe don't believe in any of that stuff, but I'm telling you, it's 100% real. It's 100% real.

00:23:42.560 So that's the difference, men, between somebody who's complacent and somebody who is content.

00:23:46.800 Now, look, we slide back and forth on the sliding scale of content versus complacency,

00:23:52.200 but my goal personally is to move more from just being complacent and resting on my laurels,

00:23:58.260 because we have had success, to somebody who's not only content with what he has,

00:24:01.780 but is actively working towards what could become. Which one are you? Which mindset are you?

00:24:08.680 Which of these factors do you ascribe to? And where did that come from? Who told you that?

00:24:14.000 Did your parents tell you that? Did you learn that from your friends? Did you learn that through

00:24:18.480 random experiences that you may have had and does it serve you? So let's recap and then we'll call

00:24:25.580 it a day. So number one, are you stagnant or are you evolving? Number two, do you have a scarcity

00:24:31.240 mindset or an abundance mindset? Number three, are you oblivious to what's going on or do you have peace

00:24:38.320 in your life because you're working towards future growth? Number four, are you passive hoping

00:24:43.160 opportunities will come to you or are you assertive in going and looking for and creating those

00:24:47.800 opportunities yourself? And number five, is there contention in your life or is there a level of

00:24:53.740 graciousness for what it is you have, which will again, yield reverence and respect, which turns into

00:25:02.920 diligence, which turns into greater blessings. All right, guys, that's all I've got for you today.
