If you want to make your dream become reality, the people that are running after that dream know they're going to have hard times.
00:00:06.840
They keep on running because they're saying within themselves, I'm the one. I'm the one.
00:00:12.080
No matter how bad it is or how bad it gets, I'm going to make it.
00:00:22.100
What is up, guys? You're listening to the MFCEO Project. I'm Andy. I'm your host.
00:00:26.560
And guess what? Today is Sunday Sermon, so I leave out at least one F-bomb in honor of Sunday.
00:00:34.120
But that doesn't change the fact that we are here to talk about important things.
00:00:40.460
And if you're listening to Sunday Sermon, you're listening to the rest of the podcast as well.
00:00:46.140
So I'm going to spare you all the, you know, refer a friend shit.
00:00:49.960
If you don't know how to do that by now, there's no hope for you in this program.
00:00:56.560
But you guys know what we do and why we do it, and I'm not going to cover that.
00:01:00.540
I'm just going to get right into what I want to talk about this Sunday.
00:01:05.380
A lot of you guys, you know, you use Sunday as a day to reflect and improve and try to get better
00:01:24.220
But my hope and our hope with Sunday Sermon is to get you thinking along the lines of how you're going to be better,
00:01:36.240
These are useful tools that you can come back to over and over again.
00:01:38.900
And what I want to talk to you guys about today is something that I've been noticing not just over this past week,
00:01:46.000
but over the course of, you know, the last five or six years as social media has become more and more and more of our lives.
00:01:54.900
And like a lot of you guys, you know, sometimes I get sucked into social media and I waste too much time on the Internet
00:02:05.320
And like a lot of you guys, I come across things that make me think, what in the actual fuck?
00:02:14.840
This culture that we're living in here is insane.
00:02:17.800
Like literally, society has become one huge insane asylum and it seems like it's the lunatics that are running the place.
00:02:24.220
And you know, you don't have to spend too much time online before you see that people aren't just insane.
00:02:32.320
And before you say, hey Andy, you know, I listen to you a lot.
00:02:41.580
But most of the time, what you perceive as anger is actually intensity, okay?
00:02:49.520
In my view, there's two types of anger, all right?
00:02:52.180
The first anger is based on actual injustice, okay?
00:02:56.120
If you come home and you found your spouse in bed with somebody else, are you going to be angry?
00:03:00.360
Fuck yeah, you're going to be angry because it's justified.
00:03:03.160
In fact, that's why our laws say that if a dude comes home and finds his wife banging his best friend
00:03:08.640
and he ends up killing the dude, he can sometimes get charged with manslaughter instead of first-degree murder, all right?
00:03:14.780
And that's because the laws here in America recognize that sometimes people do bad things when they are in a fit of rage.
00:03:22.300
And they say that sometimes it's understandable why we're so angry.
00:03:26.360
And when you hear me on the podcast or see me on social media and you think I'm angry,
00:03:30.920
first of all, ask yourself if I'm just being intense because I care.
00:03:34.580
But more so, if I am angry, I'm angry because people are buying into lies.
00:03:41.880
They are believing that they can do nothing and accomplish everything.
00:03:46.020
Or worse, they believe that they are nothing and they can't do anything with their lives, all right?
00:03:54.220
They think that because they were born poor or grew up with shitty parents
00:03:57.980
or aren't naturally talented or gifted that there's no hope for them to really live a remarkable life
00:04:08.480
And I know for a fact, and you should too, that that is a lie, all right?
00:04:13.220
I know it's a lie that too many people believe.
00:04:15.920
And it hurts them and keeps them from becoming who they were meant to be.
00:04:20.700
It keeps them from living a life they were meant to be.
00:04:24.020
It keeps them from impacting people the way they were meant to impact people.
00:04:28.880
And most importantly, it keeps them from being fulfilled, all right?
00:04:39.160
I hate when I see people waste their potential or waste their lives.
00:04:43.800
Whenever someone's life is wasted, it's a complete injustice,
00:04:47.240
not only to them, but to everybody that depends on them or looks at them
00:04:58.880
But there's the other type of anger that comes from being offended, okay?
00:05:03.640
And that's the second type of anger I want to talk about.
00:05:05.760
Have you ever looked up the definition of offended?
00:05:08.820
Because what it really means is being resentful or being annoyed, hurt, or wounded.
00:05:14.380
And I think the key word there is resentful, okay?
00:05:18.020
So many people are angry and offended in our culture because they are resentful.
00:05:22.920
They look at something out in the world and they say,
00:05:25.580
if it wasn't for that, if it wasn't for him, if it wasn't for her,
00:05:32.700
I could have a great life if it wasn't for X, okay?
00:05:36.820
You have the far-left liberal, you know, crazy motherfuckers out there saying,
00:05:41.760
impeach Trump, he's a fucking source of everything wrong in America.
00:05:45.620
Get rid of him and then America will finally be great.
00:05:48.100
And then on the other side, you have the fucking crazy right-wing fucking motherfuckers
00:05:56.180
Everything in America was great until he came along.
00:05:58.560
And dude, neither one of those people are true, okay?
00:06:03.920
It seems like half the society that we have in this country resents the other half,
00:06:13.680
oh, well, if those gay people would just go away,
00:06:15.720
God would bless America and America would be great.
00:06:18.020
Gay people say, if they could just censor the quote-unquote hate speech
00:06:23.280
then life in America would be all rainbows and fuzzy fluffy shit, right?
00:06:27.660
Like that's what we have going on in this country.
00:06:30.620
And that's the problem with this country right now.
00:06:33.860
The social justice warriors are resentful of the capitalists
00:06:37.400
and the entrepreneurs, the capitalists and entrepreneurs think
00:06:40.080
that social justice warriors should stop protests to get a job
00:06:51.520
Everybody is angry because everybody is resentful.
00:06:54.720
Because everybody thinks that someone or something else
00:07:01.200
and kind of having a conversation with Vaughn about this.
00:07:04.460
By the way, he's out of town, which is why he's not on this Sunday sermon.
00:07:13.240
There was a famous English author named G.K. Chesterton
00:07:28.160
And he asked him to reply to this one simple question.
00:07:36.980
because Chesterton wrote back a letter to the editor
00:07:55.580
And that's the attitude that all of us have to take.
00:08:06.000
Instead of resenting God for things that have happened to us,
00:08:08.820
we can ask him to help us become what we want to be
00:08:20.220
to get up every morning and take three seconds and say,
00:08:25.580
Make me strong so I can help us find a solution.
00:08:33.320
Wrap it in with your gratitude of brushing the teeth.
00:09:20.660
instead of pointing your finger at everything else
