Wonderful prayers that are recorded in ephesians, colossians, philippians.
00:00:56.746 --> 00:00:58.114
Are recorded in ephesians, colossians, philippians. and it's interesting to me that
00:00:58.181 --> 00:01:02.519
Colossians, philippians. and it's interesting to me that paul never, never, ever
00:01:02.585 --> 00:01:06.756
And it's interesting to me that paul never, never, ever prays for people's
00:01:06.823 --> 00:01:07.657
Paul never, never, ever prays for people's problems to go away.
00:01:07.724 --> 00:01:09.492
Prays for people's problems to go away. you can't find a prayer where
00:01:09.559 --> 00:01:11.528
He prayed for people's
00:01:11.594 --> 00:01:12.495
He prayed for people's problems to go away.
00:01:12.562 --> 00:01:14.464
He prayed for people's problems to go away. matter of fact, he prayed
00:01:14.531 --> 00:01:16.266
Problems to go away. matter of fact, he prayed that people would be able
00:01:16.332 --> 00:01:17.634
Matter of fact, he prayed that people would be able to endure whatever came
00:01:17.700 --> 00:01:19.502
That people would be able to endure whatever came with good temper.
00:01:19.569 --> 00:01:22.038
To endure whatever came with good temper. i've never had anybody come
00:01:22.105 --> 00:01:23.406
With good temper. i've never had anybody come and ask me, “will you pray
00:01:23.473 --> 00:01:25.008
I've never had anybody come and ask me, “will you pray for me, that i can just stay
00:01:25.074 --> 00:01:28.978
And ask me, “will you pray for me, that i can just stay very godly during this
00:01:29.045 --> 00:01:31.548
For me, that i can just stay very godly during this trial that i'm in?”
00:01:31.614 --> 00:01:32.382
Very godly during this trial that i'm in?” we all want our
00:01:32.448 --> 00:01:33.449
Trial that i'm in?” we all want our problems to go away.
00:01:33.516 --> 00:01:35.785
We all want our problems to go away. but if you've been around
00:01:35.852 --> 00:01:36.786
Problems to go away. but if you've been around very long, you know they're
00:01:36.853 --> 00:01:37.754
But if you've been around very long, you know they're not all gonna go away.
00:01:37.820 --> 00:01:39.489
Very long, you know they're not all gonna go away. and even if the one you have
00:01:39.556 --> 00:01:40.657
Not all gonna go away. and even if the one you have goes away, there'll be another
00:01:40.723 --> 00:01:41.858
And even if the one you have goes away, there'll be another one that will come.
00:01:41.925 --> 00:01:43.593
So, i finally stopped praying
00:01:43.993 --> 00:01:46.629
So, i finally stopped praying for all my circumstances
00:01:46.696 --> 00:01:49.199
So, i finally stopped praying for all my circumstances to change and for the world
00:01:49.265 --> 00:01:50.300
For all my circumstances to change and for the world to change.
00:01:50.366 --> 00:01:51.134
To change and for the world to change. and i started praying that
00:01:51.201 --> 00:01:52.235
To change. and i started praying that god would change me.
00:01:52.302 --> 00:01:54.437
And i started praying that god would change me. come on, so i would be able
00:01:54.504 --> 00:01:56.439
God would change me. come on, so i would be able to handle--i think this is one
00:01:56.506 --> 00:01:58.441
Come on, so i would be able to handle--i think this is one of the most important things
00:01:58.508 --> 00:02:01.344
To handle--i think this is one of the most important things that we need to do as a witness
00:02:01.411 --> 00:02:03.012
Of the most important things that we need to do as a witness to the world is to maybe have
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:05.815
That we need to do as a witness to the world is to maybe have some of the same problems
00:02:05.882 --> 00:02:06.950
To the world is to maybe have some of the same problems they have, but still maintain
00:02:07.016 --> 00:02:08.785
Some of the same problems they have, but still maintain our joy and our peace,
00:02:08.851 --> 00:02:11.554
They have, but still maintain our joy and our peace, and still be thankful,
00:02:11.621 --> 00:02:13.656
Our joy and our peace, and still be thankful, and still love god
00:02:13.723 --> 00:02:14.724
And still be thankful, and still love god just as much in the valley
00:02:14.791 --> 00:02:18.061
As we do on the mountain top.
00:02:18.127 --> 00:02:20.863
As we do on the mountain top. and when you're having
00:02:20.930 --> 00:02:21.798
As we do on the mountain top. and when you're having a personal problem,
00:02:21.864 --> 00:02:22.799
And when you're having a personal problem, don't ever say, “well,
00:02:22.865 --> 00:02:24.167
A personal problem, don't ever say, “well, god, don't you love me?”
00:02:24.234 --> 00:02:27.537
Don't ever say, “well, god, don't you love me?” trouble is a promise.
00:02:27.604 --> 00:02:31.040
We talk about
00:02:32.242 --> 00:02:32.809
We talk about the promises of god.
00:02:32.875 --> 00:02:33.643
We talk about the promises of god. jesus promised us tribulation
00:02:33.710 --> 00:02:35.945
The promises of god. jesus promised us tribulation in john 16:33, "in the world
00:02:36.012 --> 00:02:38.114
Jesus promised us tribulation in john 16:33, "in the world you will have tribulation."
00:02:38.181 --> 00:02:40.283
In john 16:33, "in the world you will have tribulation." his answer was, "cheer up!
00:02:40.350 --> 00:02:42.986
You will have tribulation." his answer was, "cheer up! i have overcome the world."
00:02:43.052 --> 00:02:44.721
His answer was, "cheer up! i have overcome the world." but misery is an option.
00:02:44.787 --> 00:02:48.591
You're gonna have trouble,
00:02:48.658 --> 00:02:49.993
You're gonna have trouble, but you don't have to let
00:02:50.059 --> 00:02:50.893
You're gonna have trouble, but you don't have to let it make you miserable.
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:52.562
But you don't have to let it make you miserable. and so one of the prayers
00:02:52.629 --> 00:02:53.696
It make you miserable. and so one of the prayers that paul prayed was regarding
00:02:53.763 --> 00:02:56.699
And so one of the prayers that paul prayed was regarding the god kind of righteousness
00:02:56.766 --> 00:02:58.201
That paul prayed was regarding the god kind of righteousness versus self-righteousness.
00:02:58.268 --> 00:03:02.338
The god kind of righteousness versus self-righteousness. and we all wanna
00:03:02.405 --> 00:03:03.039
Versus self-righteousness. and we all wanna be right with god.
00:03:03.106 --> 00:03:04.574
And we all wanna be right with god. nobody wants to think that
00:03:04.641 --> 00:03:05.775
Be right with god. nobody wants to think that god's rejecting them,
00:03:05.842 --> 00:03:06.976
Nobody wants to think that god's rejecting them, or is mad at them,
00:03:07.043 --> 00:03:08.444
God's rejecting them, or is mad at them, or doesn't love them.
00:03:08.511 --> 00:03:09.345
Or is mad at them, or doesn't love them. we want to have right
00:03:09.412 --> 00:03:10.980
Or doesn't love them. we want to have right standing with god.
00:03:11.047 --> 00:03:12.348
The bible says, "the kingdom
00:03:13.049 --> 00:03:13.750
The bible says, "the kingdom of god is not meat and drink"--
00:03:13.816 --> 00:03:15.418
The bible says, "the kingdom of god is not meat and drink"-- it's not about stuff.
00:03:15.485 --> 00:03:16.552
Of god is not meat and drink"-- it's not about stuff. "but it is righteousness, peace
00:03:16.619 --> 00:03:19.956
It's not about stuff. "but it is righteousness, peace and joy in the holy ghost."
00:03:20.023 --> 00:03:22.225
"but it is righteousness, peace and joy in the holy ghost." i love that.
00:03:22.292 --> 00:03:23.660
And joy in the holy ghost." i love that. the kingdom--if you're living
00:03:23.726 --> 00:03:25.061
In the kingdom and living
00:03:25.128 --> 00:03:26.429
In the kingdom and living according to kingdom principles,
00:03:26.496 --> 00:03:28.464
In the kingdom and living according to kingdom principles, you can know that you're
00:03:28.531 --> 00:03:30.266
According to kingdom principles, you can know that you're right with god.
00:03:30.333 --> 00:03:30.967
You can know that you're right with god. how many of you know that
00:03:31.034 --> 00:03:31.901
Right with god. how many of you know that that's a wonderful feeling,
00:03:31.968 --> 00:03:33.636
How many of you know that that's a wonderful feeling, to feel that you're
00:03:33.703 --> 00:03:34.404
That's a wonderful feeling, to feel that you're right with god?
00:03:34.470 --> 00:03:36.339
To feel that you're right with god? it's awful to lay your head
00:03:36.406 --> 00:03:37.907
Right with god? it's awful to lay your head down at night, and just have
00:03:37.974 --> 00:03:40.243
It's awful to lay your head down at night, and just have all these things that you
00:03:40.310 --> 00:03:41.344
Down at night, and just have all these things that you know that you've done wrong,
00:03:41.411 --> 00:03:42.879
All these things that you know that you've done wrong, that you don't know how
00:03:42.945 --> 00:03:45.114
Know that you've done wrong, that you don't know how to get taken care of.
00:03:45.181 --> 00:03:46.749
That you don't know how to get taken care of. and of course, we know
00:03:46.816 --> 00:03:48.051
To get taken care of. and of course, we know that peace and joy
00:03:48.117 --> 00:03:48.985
And of course, we know that peace and joy are also wonderful.
00:03:49.052 --> 00:03:51.454
That peace and joy are also wonderful. and i think they come
00:03:51.521 --> 00:03:52.322
Are also wonderful. and i think they come in that order.
00:03:52.388 --> 00:03:53.256
You're not gonna have any
00:03:54.123 --> 00:03:54.991
You're not gonna have any joy until you have peace.
00:03:55.058 --> 00:03:55.792
You're not gonna have any joy until you have peace. you're not gonna have any
00:03:55.858 --> 00:03:56.526
Joy until you have peace. you're not gonna have any peace until you know that
00:03:56.592 --> 00:03:57.694
You're not gonna have any peace until you know that you're right with god.
00:03:57.760 --> 00:03:59.395
Peace until you know that you're right with god. and i wonder how many
00:03:59.462 --> 00:04:00.530
You're right with god. and i wonder how many people here today spend a lot
00:04:00.596 --> 00:04:02.465
And i wonder how many people here today spend a lot of your days, i should say,
00:04:02.532 --> 00:04:03.666
People here today spend a lot of your days, i should say, waste a lot of your days
00:04:03.733 --> 00:04:04.734
Of your days, i should say, waste a lot of your days feeling guilty and condemned,
00:04:04.801 --> 00:04:08.771
Waste a lot of your days feeling guilty and condemned, about things that you've done
00:04:08.838 --> 00:04:09.806
In the past or maybe things
00:04:09.872 --> 00:04:11.174
In the past or maybe things that you've done that morning.

Already took care of on the cross, and he already knew you were going to do it before

Cross, and he already knew you were going to do it before he ever called you into
00:04:24.587 --> 00:04:25.588
You were going to do it before he ever called you into a relationship with him.
00:04:25.655 --> 00:04:26.989
He ever called you into a relationship with him. and your forgiveness has
00:04:27.056 --> 00:04:28.558
A relationship with him. and your forgiveness has already been bought and paid
00:04:28.624 --> 00:04:29.859

Of it, be willing to turn away from it and receive. you don't have to try to get,
00:04:39.168 --> 00:04:42.672
Away from it and receive. you don't have to try to get, it's already been gotten.

"did you get saved?" "did you get the holy ghost?" "did you get your breakthrough?"
00:04:54.650 --> 00:04:56.753
"did you get the holy ghost?" "did you get your breakthrough?" we don't get anything.
00:04:56.819 --> 00:04:58.087
"did you get your breakthrough?" we don't get anything. jesus has already gotten
00:04:58.154 --> 00:04:59.355
We don't get anything. jesus has already gotten it all for us.
00:04:59.422 --> 00:05:00.690
Jesus has already gotten it all for us. and all we need to do is believe
00:05:00.757 --> 00:05:02.625
It all for us. and all we need to do is believe it and receive it, amen?
00:05:02.692 --> 00:05:06.262
And all we need to do is believe it and receive it, amen? we need to be better receivers
00:05:06.329 --> 00:05:09.198
It and receive it, amen? we need to be better receivers than what we are.
00:05:09.265 --> 00:05:10.566
And so, paul prayed.
00:05:11.300 --> 00:05:12.869
And so, paul prayed. he said, "i pray"--
00:05:12.935 --> 00:05:14.837
And so, paul prayed. he said, "i pray"-- philippians 3:9, "that i may
00:05:14.904 --> 00:05:16.973
He said, "i pray"-- philippians 3:9, "that i may [actually] be found
00:05:17.039 --> 00:05:18.841
Philippians 3:9, "that i may [actually] be found and known as in him."
00:05:18.908 --> 00:05:21.277
[actually] be found and known as in him." i don't think that most
00:05:21.344 --> 00:05:23.713
And known as in him." i don't think that most people really comprehend
00:05:23.780 --> 00:05:25.248
I don't think that most people really comprehend that phrase, “in him.”
00:05:25.314 --> 00:05:28.151
People really comprehend that phrase, “in him.” who we are “in him” is totally
00:05:28.217 --> 00:05:31.554
That phrase, “in him.” who we are “in him” is totally different than who we are
00:05:31.621 --> 00:05:35.224
Who we are “in him” is totally different than who we are in our own works.
00:05:35.291 --> 00:05:37.326
Different than who we are in our own works. i always say,
00:05:37.393 --> 00:05:38.127
In our own works. i always say, “it's not your who--
00:05:38.194 --> 00:05:40.696
I always say, “it's not your who-- it's not your “do” that matters,
00:05:40.763 --> 00:05:42.198
“it's not your who-- it's not your “do” that matters, but your “who.”
00:05:42.265 --> 00:05:43.399
It's not your “do” that matters, but your “who.” it's not what we do,
00:05:43.466 --> 00:05:44.700
But your “who.” it's not what we do, but who we are “in christ” that
00:05:44.767 --> 00:05:47.103
It's not what we do, but who we are “in christ” that really makes the difference.
00:05:47.170 --> 00:05:48.471
But who we are “in christ” that really makes the difference. and if you ever wanna be happy,
00:05:48.538 --> 00:05:51.140
Really makes the difference. and if you ever wanna be happy, you have to learn to understand
00:05:51.207 --> 00:05:52.975
And if you ever wanna be happy, you have to learn to understand that phrase “in him.”
00:05:53.042 --> 00:05:55.244
You have to learn to understand that phrase “in him.” “in him,” it's all over the new
00:05:55.311 --> 00:05:57.814
That phrase “in him.” “in him,” it's all over the new testament, especially
00:05:57.880 --> 00:05:58.881
“in him,” it's all over the new testament, especially in the epistles.
00:05:58.948 --> 00:05:59.916
Testament, especially in the epistles. “in him, in whom,
00:05:59.982 --> 00:06:01.551
In the epistles. “in him, in whom, through christ,
00:06:01.617 --> 00:06:01.918
“in him, in whom, through christ, in him, in christ.”
00:06:01.984 --> 00:06:05.888
Through christ, in him, in christ.” who i am “in christ”
00:06:05.955 --> 00:06:07.123
In him, in christ.” who i am “in christ” is totally different
00:06:07.190 --> 00:06:08.224
Who i am “in christ” is totally different than who i am in joyce.
00:06:08.291 --> 00:06:11.127
Is totally different than who i am in joyce. in christ, "i am the
00:06:11.194 --> 00:06:12.495
Than who i am in joyce. in christ, "i am the righteousness of god in him.”
00:06:12.562 --> 00:06:15.331
In christ, "i am the righteousness of god in him.” is that not amazing?
00:06:15.398 --> 00:06:17.300
Righteousness of god in him.” is that not amazing? 2 corinthians 5:21, “he that
00:06:17.366 --> 00:06:19.569
Is that not amazing? 2 corinthians 5:21, “he that knew no sin became sin.”
00:06:19.635 --> 00:06:23.473
2 corinthians 5:21, “he that knew no sin became sin.” he became sin.
00:06:23.539 --> 00:06:26.275
Knew no sin became sin.” he became sin. he didn't just pay for our sin
00:06:26.342 --> 00:06:28.110
He became sin. he didn't just pay for our sin or take our sin; he actually
00:06:28.177 --> 00:06:29.445
He didn't just pay for our sin or take our sin; he actually became sin, and he took
00:06:29.512 --> 00:06:31.247
Or take our sin; he actually became sin, and he took it to the cross and
00:06:31.314 --> 00:06:32.014
Became sin, and he took it to the cross and he killed it there.
00:06:32.081 --> 00:06:32.815
It to the cross and he killed it there. he killed its power
00:06:32.882 --> 00:06:34.116
He killed it there. he killed its power over us there.
00:06:34.183 --> 00:06:36.352
He killed its power over us there. and where there's no sin,
00:06:36.419 --> 00:06:37.320
Over us there. and where there's no sin, there can be no condemnation.
00:06:37.386 --> 00:06:39.188
And where there's no sin, there can be no condemnation. don't waste your life feeling
00:06:39.255 --> 00:06:40.957
There can be no condemnation. don't waste your life feeling guilty about things that god
00:06:41.023 --> 00:06:42.725
Don't waste your life feeling guilty about things that god has already forgotten about,
00:06:42.792 --> 00:06:44.193
Guilty about things that god has already forgotten about, because you've repented
00:06:44.260 --> 00:06:45.328
Has already forgotten about, because you've repented of them, and he removes them,
00:06:45.394 --> 00:06:47.697
Because you've repented of them, and he removes them, “as far as the east
00:06:47.763 --> 00:06:48.598
Of them, and he removes them, “as far as the east is from the west,”
00:06:48.664 --> 00:06:49.532
“as far as the east is from the west,” “and remembers them no more.”
00:06:49.599 --> 00:06:53.102
Is from the west,” “and remembers them no more.” >> [audience applauding]
00:06:53.169 --> 00:06:54.504
“and remembers them no more.” >> [audience applauding] >> joyce: stop talking
00:06:54.570 --> 00:06:55.271
>> [audience applauding] >> joyce: stop talking to god about stuff
00:06:55.338 --> 00:06:56.305
>> joyce: stop talking to god about stuff he already forgot about.
00:06:56.372 --> 00:06:57.507
To god about stuff he already forgot about. and you need to forget
00:06:57.573 --> 00:06:58.574
He already forgot about. and you need to forget about it, “let go of what lies
00:06:58.641 --> 00:06:59.909
And you need to forget about it, “let go of what lies behind and press on to the good
00:06:59.976 --> 00:07:01.844
About it, “let go of what lies behind and press on to the good things that are ahead.”
00:07:01.911 --> 00:07:04.814
Behind and press on to the good things that are ahead.” “well, joyce, you don't know
00:07:04.881 --> 00:07:05.815
Things that are ahead.” “well, joyce, you don't know what i've done."
00:07:05.882 --> 00:07:06.916
Well, what you've done
00:07:06.983 --> 00:07:08.518
Well, what you've done is no worse than what
00:07:08.584 --> 00:07:09.452
Well, what you've done is no worse than what anybody else has done.
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:11.454
Is no worse than what anybody else has done. i don't know that sins come
00:07:11.521 --> 00:07:12.855
Anybody else has done. i don't know that sins come in small, medium and large.
00:07:12.922 --> 00:07:14.991
I don't know that sins come in small, medium and large. i think it's just sin.
00:07:15.057 --> 00:07:16.926
In small, medium and large. i think it's just sin. now, there are some sins,
00:07:16.993 --> 00:07:18.127
I think it's just sin. now, there are some sins, that can have a more devastating
00:07:18.194 --> 00:07:20.596
Now, there are some sins, that can have a more devastating effect on your life.
00:07:20.663 --> 00:07:23.165
That can have a more devastating effect on your life. sexual sin is one of those,
00:07:23.232 --> 00:07:24.767
Effect on your life. sexual sin is one of those, because it's a sin against
00:07:24.834 --> 00:07:26.269
Sexual sin is one of those, because it's a sin against our own body.
00:07:26.335 --> 00:07:27.837
Because it's a sin against our own body. there are some sins that
00:07:27.904 --> 00:07:29.071
Our own body. there are some sins that we commit, that actually bring
00:07:29.138 --> 00:07:30.640
There are some sins that we commit, that actually bring more punishment according
00:07:30.706 --> 00:07:31.974
We commit, that actually bring more punishment according to the laws of our land.
00:07:32.041 --> 00:07:33.509
More punishment according to the laws of our land. but sin is just sin.
00:07:33.576 --> 00:07:35.077
To the laws of our land. but sin is just sin. and we've all sinned.
00:07:35.144 --> 00:07:36.312
“we've all sinned and come
00:07:37.213 --> 00:07:38.014
“we've all sinned and come short of the glory of god,”
00:07:38.080 --> 00:07:38.948
“we've all sinned and come short of the glory of god,” the bible says,
00:07:39.015 --> 00:07:39.615
Short of the glory of god,” the bible says, all--every single one of us.
00:07:39.682 --> 00:07:41.450
The bible says, all--every single one of us. so, he said, “i pray that
00:07:41.517 --> 00:07:43.152
All--every single one of us. so, he said, “i pray that i would be found and known
00:07:43.219 --> 00:07:44.253
So, he said, “i pray that i would be found and known as in him, not having any
00:07:44.320 --> 00:07:47.557
I would be found and known as in him, not having any [self-achieved] righteousness
00:07:47.623 --> 00:07:50.793
As in him, not having any [self-achieved] righteousness that can be called my own,
00:07:50.860 --> 00:07:51.928
[self-achieved] righteousness that can be called my own, based on my obedience
00:07:51.994 --> 00:07:53.863
That can be called my own, based on my obedience to the law's demands.”
00:07:53.930 --> 00:07:55.031
Based on my obedience to the law's demands.” or let's just put it real simple
00:07:55.097 --> 00:07:57.166
To the law's demands.” or let's just put it real simple so we can understand it.
00:07:57.233 --> 00:07:58.701
Or let's just put it real simple so we can understand it. he says, “i wanna be righteous,
00:07:58.768 --> 00:08:02.471
So we can understand it. he says, “i wanna be righteous, but i don't want a righteousness
00:08:02.538 --> 00:08:04.874
He says, “i wanna be righteous, but i don't want a righteousness that i think that i've earned
00:08:04.941 --> 00:08:07.143
But i don't want a righteousness that i think that i've earned through my good behavior.”
00:08:07.209 --> 00:08:12.381
That i think that i've earned through my good behavior.” “but i want to possess that
00:08:12.448 --> 00:08:13.883
Through my good behavior.” “but i want to possess that [genuine righteousness]”--
00:08:13.950 --> 00:08:16.218
“but i want to possess that [genuine righteousness]”-- now, get this, “which comes
00:08:16.285 --> 00:08:19.322
[genuine righteousness]”-- now, get this, “which comes only through faith in christ.”
00:08:19.388 --> 00:08:23.326
Now, get this, “which comes only through faith in christ.” this is really the central
00:08:23.392 --> 00:08:26.896
Only through faith in christ.” this is really the central core of the gospel.
00:08:26.963 --> 00:08:28.831
This is the central core
00:08:28.898 --> 00:08:30.466
This is the central core of living in victory
00:08:30.533 --> 00:08:31.867
This is the central core of living in victory and enjoying your life.
00:08:31.934 --> 00:08:33.436
Of living in victory and enjoying your life. you have to understand that
00:08:33.502 --> 00:08:35.471
And enjoying your life. you have to understand that you can never be right with
00:08:35.538 --> 00:08:37.139
You have to understand that you can never be right with god through your own works
00:08:37.206 --> 00:08:39.709
You can never be right with god through your own works and effort, but it's only
00:08:39.775 --> 00:08:42.278
God through your own works and effort, but it's only through faith in christ.
00:08:42.345 --> 00:08:43.713
And effort, but it's only through faith in christ. and then what we do,
00:08:43.779 --> 00:08:45.381
Through faith in christ. and then what we do, the good works we do,
00:08:45.448 --> 00:08:46.716
And then what we do, the good works we do, we're not doing them to get
00:08:46.782 --> 00:08:48.217
The good works we do, we're not doing them to get something from god,
00:08:48.284 --> 00:08:51.120
We're not doing them to get something from god, but we do them because of what
00:08:51.187 --> 00:08:53.155
Something from god, but we do them because of what he's already done for us,
00:08:53.222 --> 00:08:54.724
But we do them because of what he's already done for us, and because we love him.
00:08:54.790 --> 00:08:57.159
He's already done for us, and because we love him. and that just like changes
00:08:57.226 --> 00:08:58.527
And because we love him. and that just like changes the nature of the whole thing.

>> ginger: joyce, today, we're gonna have a really
00:09:14.377 --> 00:09:15.044
We're gonna have a really good and maybe slightly
00:09:15.111 --> 00:09:17.246
Good and maybe slightly eye-opening conversation
00:09:17.313 --> 00:09:19.448
Eye-opening conversation on all those choices
00:09:19.515 --> 00:09:21.317
On all those choices and decisions that we have
00:09:21.384 --> 00:09:22.685
And decisions that we have to make every day,
00:09:22.752 --> 00:09:23.552
To make every day, and making them based
00:09:23.619 --> 00:09:25.121
And making them based on wisdom rather than emotion.
00:09:25.187 --> 00:09:28.591
On wisdom rather than emotion. and, you know, sometimes,
00:09:28.658 --> 00:09:31.193
And, you know, sometimes, we think we're
00:09:31.260 --> 00:09:32.361
But emotion definitely
00:09:33.496 --> 00:09:35.531
But emotion definitely plays a role and seeps
00:09:35.598 --> 00:09:36.732
But emotion definitely plays a role and seeps into everything that we do.
00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:38.734
Plays a role and seeps into everything that we do. >> joyce: well, i think
00:09:38.801 --> 00:09:40.536
Into everything that we do. >> joyce: well, i think the point is, depending
00:09:40.603 --> 00:09:41.771
>> joyce: well, i think the point is, depending on how bad you
00:09:41.837 --> 00:09:42.938
The point is, depending on how bad you want something,
00:09:43.005 --> 00:09:45.107
On how bad you want something, that's when you have
00:09:45.174 --> 00:09:45.708
Want something, that's when you have to be the most careful
00:09:45.775 --> 00:09:48.077
That's when you have to be the most careful about your emotions.
00:09:48.144 --> 00:09:49.545
To be the most careful about your emotions. because if you want something
00:09:49.612 --> 00:09:53.082
About your emotions. because if you want something so bad that your emotions
00:09:53.149 --> 00:09:54.417
Because if you want something so bad that your emotions are involved in it,
00:09:54.483 --> 00:09:55.818
So bad that your emotions are involved in it, it's very easy to talk
00:09:55.885 --> 00:09:57.586
Are involved in it, it's very easy to talk yourself into it,
00:09:57.653 --> 00:09:58.621
It's very easy to talk yourself into it, especially, if it's something
00:09:58.688 --> 00:10:00.523
Yourself into it, especially, if it's something that say, is not, you know,
00:10:00.589 --> 00:10:03.793
Especially, if it's something that say, is not, you know, it's not sinful.
00:10:03.859 --> 00:10:04.860
That say, is not, you know, it's not sinful. it's not a matter of, you know,
00:10:04.927 --> 00:10:07.263
It's not sinful. it's not a matter of, you know, would this be wrong
00:10:07.329 --> 00:10:08.030
It's not a matter of, you know, would this be wrong in god's eyes if i did this?
00:10:08.097 --> 00:10:09.832
Would this be wrong in god's eyes if i did this? and so, i think the best
00:10:09.899 --> 00:10:10.866
In god's eyes if i did this? and so, i think the best way for me to get my point
00:10:10.933 --> 00:10:12.802
And so, i think the best way for me to get my point across is to tell
00:10:12.868 --> 00:10:13.803
Way for me to get my point across is to tell a story that is a little
00:10:13.869 --> 00:10:16.505
Across is to tell a story that is a little bit embarrassing, but i think
00:10:16.572 --> 00:10:18.140
A story that is a little bit embarrassing, but i think it'll make the point.
00:10:18.207 --> 00:10:19.041
Bit embarrassing, but i think it'll make the point. now, all dog lovers
00:10:19.108 --> 00:10:20.142
It'll make the point. now, all dog lovers will understand this.
00:10:20.209 --> 00:10:20.943
Now, all dog lovers will understand this. if you're not a dog lover,
00:10:21.010 --> 00:10:21.977
Will understand this. if you're not a dog lover, you'll still get the message.
00:10:22.044 --> 00:10:24.313
If you're not a dog lover, you'll still get the message. but i had a dog growing up.
00:10:24.380 --> 00:10:26.749
You'll still get the message. but i had a dog growing up. and then, when my kids
00:10:26.816 --> 00:10:28.517
But i had a dog growing up. and then, when my kids were little, we had a couple
00:10:28.584 --> 00:10:29.985
And then, when my kids were little, we had a couple different dogs.
00:10:30.052 --> 00:10:30.753
Were little, we had a couple different dogs. and then, i had a dog for--
00:10:30.820 --> 00:10:34.423
Different dogs. and then, i had a dog for-- she lived like, 12 years.
00:10:34.490 --> 00:10:36.125
And then, i had a dog for-- she lived like, 12 years. her name was duchess.
00:10:36.192 --> 00:10:37.193
She lived like, 12 years. her name was duchess. and she was just wonderful.
00:10:37.259 --> 00:10:39.795
Her name was duchess. and she was just wonderful. and then, when duchess died,
00:10:39.862 --> 00:10:42.231
And she was just wonderful. and then, when duchess died, i got another dog.
00:10:42.298 --> 00:10:44.934
And the trainer said,
00:10:45.735 --> 00:10:48.771
And the trainer said, he was--he specifically
00:10:48.838 --> 00:10:50.740
He was--he specifically picked this dog because
00:10:50.806 --> 00:10:53.609
Picked this dog because he thought it matched
00:10:53.676 --> 00:10:54.410
He thought it matched my personality.
00:10:54.477 --> 00:10:55.811
My personality. well, the problem was,
00:10:55.878 --> 00:10:57.079
Well, the problem was, was she was a nightmare.
00:10:57.146 --> 00:10:58.447
Was she was a nightmare. i mean, she just--
00:10:58.514 --> 00:11:00.282
I mean, she just-- >> [ginger laughing]
00:11:00.349 --> 00:11:01.717
>> [ginger laughing] >> joyce: i hope i'm not
00:11:01.784 --> 00:11:02.985
>> joyce: i hope i'm not as stubborn as that dog was.
00:11:03.052 --> 00:11:03.853
As stubborn as that dog was. >> ginger: exactly.
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:04.887
>> ginger: exactly. >> joyce: i mean, finally,
00:11:04.954 --> 00:11:06.956
>> joyce: i mean, finally, a professional trainer said,
00:11:07.022 --> 00:11:07.957
A professional trainer said, "this dog cannot be trained."
00:11:08.023 --> 00:11:09.158
"this dog cannot be trained." >> ginger: wow.
00:11:09.225 --> 00:11:09.759
>> ginger: wow. >> joyce: so, i had
00:11:09.825 --> 00:11:10.493
>> joyce: so, i had to give her away.
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:11.127
To give her away. well--
00:11:11.193 --> 00:11:11.494
Well-- >> ginger: i don't want a dog
00:11:11.560 --> 00:11:12.528
>> ginger: i don't want a dog that matches my personality.
00:11:12.595 --> 00:11:13.129
That matches my personality. i want a laid back, quiet dog.
00:11:13.195 --> 00:11:15.564
I want a laid back, quiet dog. >> joyce: i want one that's
00:11:15.631 --> 00:11:16.665
>> joyce: i want one that's gonna lay on my lap
00:11:16.732 --> 00:11:17.767
Gonna lay on my lap and not require too much.
00:11:17.833 --> 00:11:18.701
And not require too much. just love me and lay on my lap.
00:11:18.768 --> 00:11:21.437
And then, i got another dog,
00:11:23.105 --> 00:11:25.374
And then, i got another dog, and it was just--turned
00:11:25.441 --> 00:11:28.110
And then, i got another dog, and it was just--turned out to be too much for me.
00:11:28.177 --> 00:11:29.612
And it was just--turned out to be too much for me. and so, i said, "i will never
00:11:29.678 --> 00:11:30.846
Out to be too much for me. and so, i said, "i will never do this again."
00:11:30.913 --> 00:11:32.014
And so, i said, "i will never do this again." but two or three years go by,
00:11:32.081 --> 00:11:34.016
Do this again." but two or three years go by, and then, i start in again,
00:11:34.083 --> 00:11:35.718
But two or three years go by, and then, i start in again, "i want a dog.
00:11:35.785 --> 00:11:36.719
And then, i start in again, "i want a dog. i want a dog."
00:11:36.786 --> 00:11:37.386
"i want a dog. i want a dog." so, i had the idea that
00:11:37.453 --> 00:11:38.454
I want a dog." so, i had the idea that if i could get a trainer
00:11:38.521 --> 00:11:40.556
So, i had the idea that if i could get a trainer to keep this dog for
00:11:40.623 --> 00:11:42.691
If i could get a trainer to keep this dog for several months,
00:11:42.758 --> 00:11:44.426
To keep this dog for several months, and potty train it,
00:11:44.493 --> 00:11:45.528
Several months, and potty train it, and train it, you know,
00:11:45.594 --> 00:11:47.163
And potty train it, and train it, you know, to be obedient,
00:11:47.229 --> 00:11:48.430
And train it, you know, to be obedient, that then i could handle it.
00:11:48.497 --> 00:11:50.232
To be obedient, that then i could handle it. so, i found somebody
00:11:50.299 --> 00:11:53.502
That then i could handle it. so, i found somebody that said they would do it.
00:11:53.569 --> 00:11:54.737
So, i found somebody that said they would do it. and she kept the dog
00:11:54.804 --> 00:11:58.974
That said they would do it. and she kept the dog for four months.
00:11:59.041 --> 00:12:01.143
And she kept the dog for four months. and not too long ago,
00:12:01.210 --> 00:12:03.245
For four months. and not too long ago, we had a picture of her
00:12:03.312 --> 00:12:04.113
And not too long ago, we had a picture of her on social media.
00:12:04.180 --> 00:12:07.283
We had a picture of her on social media. him--he was a boy.
00:12:07.349 --> 00:12:08.651
On social media. him--he was a boy. i kept calling her,
00:12:08.717 --> 00:12:09.285
Him--he was a boy. i kept calling her, her because i've had
00:12:09.351 --> 00:12:10.319
I kept calling her, her because i've had girl dogs a lot.
00:12:10.386 --> 00:12:14.256
Her because i've had girl dogs a lot. and it just started putting
00:12:14.323 --> 00:12:15.624
Girl dogs a lot. and it just started putting pressure on me.
00:12:15.691 --> 00:12:16.258
And it just started putting pressure on me. and this was--
00:12:16.325 --> 00:12:17.993
Pressure on me. and this was-- you couldn't have asked
00:12:18.060 --> 00:12:18.694
And this was-- you couldn't have asked for a better dog.
00:12:18.761 --> 00:12:19.395
You couldn't have asked for a better dog. i mean, this dog was so good.
00:12:19.461 --> 00:12:21.664
For a better dog. i mean, this dog was so good. just--i only had one accident
00:12:21.730 --> 00:12:23.833
I mean, this dog was so good. just--i only had one accident in the house the whole
00:12:23.899 --> 00:12:24.633
Just--i only had one accident in the house the whole time we had him.
00:12:24.700 --> 00:12:26.135
In the house the whole time we had him. he played by himself good.
00:12:26.202 --> 00:12:28.470
Time we had him. he played by himself good. he was just good.
00:12:28.537 --> 00:12:29.638
He played by himself good. he was just good. but it started pressuring
00:12:29.705 --> 00:12:31.674
He was just good. but it started pressuring me because when i would get
00:12:31.740 --> 00:12:33.075
But it started pressuring me because when i would get ready to come to the office
00:12:33.142 --> 00:12:34.476
Me because when i would get ready to come to the office to do tv or something,
00:12:34.543 --> 00:12:37.179
Ready to come to the office to do tv or something, you know, i'm thinking
00:12:37.246 --> 00:12:37.847
To do tv or something, you know, i'm thinking about what i'm gonna teach.
00:12:37.913 --> 00:12:38.914
You know, i'm thinking about what i'm gonna teach. and in the meantime,
00:12:38.981 --> 00:12:39.949
About what i'm gonna teach. and in the meantime, i'm trying to gather
00:12:40.015 --> 00:12:40.883
And in the meantime, i'm trying to gather up all the stuff i need to take
00:12:40.950 --> 00:12:42.251
I'm trying to gather up all the stuff i need to take the dog to the dog sitter,
00:12:42.318 --> 00:12:44.687
Up all the stuff i need to take the dog to the dog sitter, and you gotta get the food,
00:12:44.753 --> 00:12:45.621
The dog to the dog sitter, and you gotta get the food, and this and that, and that,
00:12:45.688 --> 00:12:46.488
And you gotta get the food, and this and that, and that, and something else.
00:12:46.555 --> 00:12:47.289
And this and that, and that, and something else. and you gotta--you know,
00:12:47.356 --> 00:12:48.390
And something else. and you gotta--you know, i was getting up real early
00:12:48.457 --> 00:12:49.625
And you gotta--you know, i was getting up real early in the morning to let him
00:12:49.692 --> 00:12:51.460
I was getting up real early in the morning to let him go to the bathroom
00:12:51.527 --> 00:12:52.628
In the morning to let him go to the bathroom and then takin' him
00:12:52.695 --> 00:12:53.329
Go to the bathroom and then takin' him out several times a day.
00:12:53.395 --> 00:12:54.263
And then takin' him out several times a day. and then, you know,
00:12:54.330 --> 00:12:55.197
Out several times a day. and then, you know, i go to bed pretty early.
00:12:55.264 --> 00:12:57.199
And then, you know, i go to bed pretty early. i like my quiet time
00:12:57.266 --> 00:12:58.300
I go to bed pretty early. i like my quiet time in the evenings,
00:12:58.367 --> 00:12:59.034
I like my quiet time in the evenings, and he wasn't necessarily
00:12:59.101 --> 00:13:00.202
In the evenings, and he wasn't necessarily wanting to go to bed that early.
00:13:00.269 --> 00:13:01.503
And he wasn't necessarily wanting to go to bed that early. so, that became an issue.
00:13:01.570 --> 00:13:03.372
Wanting to go to bed that early. so, that became an issue. and long story short,
00:13:03.439 --> 00:13:05.307
So, that became an issue. and long story short, i ended up making the decision
00:13:05.374 --> 00:13:07.343
And long story short, i ended up making the decision that it was just too much
00:13:07.409 --> 00:13:08.677
I ended up making the decision that it was just too much for me to have a dog,
00:13:08.744 --> 00:13:10.613
That it was just too much for me to have a dog, just simply because
00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:12.514
For me to have a dog, just simply because of my lifestyle,
00:13:12.581 --> 00:13:13.449
Just simply because of my lifestyle, because i travel a lot.
00:13:13.515 --> 00:13:15.251
Of my lifestyle, because i travel a lot. i'm here, i'm there, i come,
00:13:15.317 --> 00:13:16.685
Because i travel a lot. i'm here, i'm there, i come, i go, i come up here,
00:13:16.752 --> 00:13:18.487
I'm here, i'm there, i come, i go, i come up here, i go somewhere else.
00:13:18.554 --> 00:13:19.288
I go, i come up here, i go somewhere else. and so, when it was all over,
00:13:19.355 --> 00:13:23.192
I go somewhere else. and so, when it was all over, and i'm, you know,
00:13:23.259 --> 00:13:23.859
And so, when it was all over, and i'm, you know, praying about it.
00:13:23.926 --> 00:13:24.960
And i'm, you know, praying about it. i mean, i got a really good
00:13:25.027 --> 00:13:26.428
Praying about it. i mean, i got a really good lesson about how emotions
00:13:26.495 --> 00:13:32.902
I mean, i got a really good lesson about how emotions can really make you
00:13:32.968 --> 00:13:34.136
Lesson about how emotions can really make you override wisdom.
00:13:34.203 --> 00:13:35.804
Can really make you override wisdom. because i actually found
00:13:35.871 --> 00:13:37.439
Override wisdom. because i actually found in my journal from earlier
00:13:37.506 --> 00:13:40.109
Because i actually found in my journal from earlier this year, i had written:
00:13:40.175 --> 00:13:42.544
In my journal from earlier this year, i had written: what are the pros and cons
00:13:42.611 --> 00:13:43.746
This year, i had written: what are the pros and cons of me having a dog?
00:13:43.812 --> 00:13:45.648
What are the pros and cons of me having a dog? and i had a list of like
00:13:45.714 --> 00:13:47.216
Of me having a dog? and i had a list of like 14 reasons why i should
00:13:47.283 --> 00:13:48.918
And i had a list of like 14 reasons why i should not have a dog and only
00:13:48.984 --> 00:13:51.153
14 reasons why i should not have a dog and only maybe one or two things
00:13:51.220 --> 00:13:52.488
Not have a dog and only maybe one or two things that would have been for it.
00:13:52.554 --> 00:13:54.189
Maybe one or two things that would have been for it. and mostly it was just like,
00:13:54.256 --> 00:13:55.391
That would have been for it. and mostly it was just like, i wanted it, you know,
00:13:55.457 --> 00:13:57.293
And mostly it was just like, i wanted it, you know, that was it.
00:13:57.359 --> 00:13:58.027
I wanted it, you know, that was it. i just wanted it.
00:13:58.093 --> 00:13:59.461
That was it. i just wanted it. and i wrote everything that
00:13:59.528 --> 00:14:01.530
I just wanted it. and i wrote everything that i was having a problem with,
00:14:01.597 --> 00:14:02.865
And i wrote everything that i was having a problem with, i wrote it down,
00:14:02.932 --> 00:14:03.699
I was having a problem with, i wrote it down, but i forgot all about
00:14:03.766 --> 00:14:04.767
I wrote it down, but i forgot all about that because i wanted it.
00:14:04.833 --> 00:14:07.269
But i forgot all about that because i wanted it. and i hope somebody's
00:14:07.336 --> 00:14:08.037
That because i wanted it. and i hope somebody's listening to me today,
00:14:08.103 --> 00:14:08.804
And i hope somebody's listening to me today, because, just because
00:14:08.871 --> 00:14:09.772
Listening to me today, because, just because you want it--
00:14:09.838 --> 00:14:10.606
Because, just because you want it-- see, it's not a sin
00:14:10.673 --> 00:14:12.441
You want it-- see, it's not a sin to have a dog.
00:14:12.508 --> 00:14:13.075
See, it's not a sin to have a dog. god--he don't care if i have
00:14:13.142 --> 00:14:14.543
To have a dog. god--he don't care if i have a dog or if i don't have a dog.
00:14:14.610 --> 00:14:16.145
God--he don't care if i have a dog or if i don't have a dog. but it just wasn't wisdom
00:14:16.211 --> 00:14:18.781
A dog or if i don't have a dog. but it just wasn't wisdom for me to do it.
00:14:18.847 --> 00:14:20.149
But it just wasn't wisdom for me to do it. so, i think the lesson that
00:14:20.215 --> 00:14:21.417
For me to do it. so, i think the lesson that i wanted to bring across
00:14:21.483 --> 00:14:22.518
So, i think the lesson that i wanted to bring across today is that you have
00:14:22.584 --> 00:14:24.820
I wanted to bring across today is that you have to really be careful when
00:14:24.887 --> 00:14:28.223
Today is that you have to really be careful when you want something
00:14:28.290 --> 00:14:29.224
To really be careful when you want something in a really strong way--
00:14:29.291 --> 00:14:32.428
You want something in a really strong way-- and i had a check--a little
00:14:32.494 --> 00:14:33.862
In a really strong way-- and i had a check--a little check in my heart
00:14:33.929 --> 00:14:34.596
And i had a check--a little check in my heart the whole time.
00:14:34.663 --> 00:14:35.764
Check in my heart the whole time. you know, and i know better.
00:14:35.831 --> 00:14:37.666
The whole time. you know, and i know better. i mean, i know better
00:14:37.733 --> 00:14:39.134
You know, and i know better. i mean, i know better than to do that.
00:14:39.201 --> 00:14:39.768
I mean, i know better than to do that. and i'm not a real emotional
00:14:39.835 --> 00:14:43.138
Than to do that. and i'm not a real emotional person, as you know.
00:14:43.205 --> 00:14:44.106
And i'm not a real emotional person, as you know. i don't, you know,
00:14:44.173 --> 00:14:45.808
Person, as you know. i don't, you know, i don't fly off the handle
00:14:45.874 --> 00:14:48.077
I don't, you know, i don't fly off the handle and do stuff just out
00:14:48.143 --> 00:14:49.044
I don't fly off the handle and do stuff just out of emotion very often.
00:14:49.111 --> 00:14:50.879
And do stuff just out of emotion very often. but because i had
00:14:50.946 --> 00:14:52.715
Of emotion very often. but because i had enjoyed that dog that
00:14:52.781 --> 00:14:53.782

She said, "you don't want a dog, you want duchess back.

So, you need to get it now." and, you know,

And, you know, that's when you especially
00:15:41.363 --> 00:15:42.097
That's when you especially need to be careful when
00:15:42.164 --> 00:15:42.831
Need to be careful when you gotta do it right now,

You gotta do it right now, if you gotta do it right now.

If you gotta do it right now. >> ginger: that's true.
00:15:45.634 --> 00:15:46.235
>> ginger: that's true. >> joyce: i remember
00:15:46.301 --> 00:15:47.202
>> joyce: i remember a situation where
00:15:47.269 --> 00:15:48.303
And i saw a watch.
00:15:50.873 --> 00:15:52.174
And i saw a watch. i loved the watch.
00:15:52.241 --> 00:15:53.042
And i saw a watch. i loved the watch. you know,
00:15:53.108 --> 00:15:53.675
I loved the watch. you know, anything under a glass
00:15:53.742 --> 00:15:55.711
You know, anything under a glass case with lights on it...
00:15:55.778 --> 00:16:00.115
Anything under a glass case with lights on it... >> ginger: it's just
00:16:00.182 --> 00:16:00.716
Case with lights on it... >> ginger: it's just perfectly laid out.
00:16:00.783 --> 00:16:01.583
>> ginger: it's just perfectly laid out. >> joyce: it does not look that
00:16:01.650 --> 00:16:03.352
Perfectly laid out. >> joyce: it does not look that way when you get it home.
00:16:03.419 --> 00:16:04.319
>> joyce: it does not look that way when you get it home. i mean, it was still pretty,
00:16:04.386 --> 00:16:06.021
Way when you get it home. i mean, it was still pretty, but the way they look
00:16:06.088 --> 00:16:07.356
I mean, it was still pretty, but the way they look under the glass case
00:16:07.423 --> 00:16:09.124
But the way they look under the glass case is so much different.
00:16:09.191 --> 00:16:09.925
Under the glass case is so much different. well, this salesperson
00:16:09.992 --> 00:16:11.326
Is so much different. well, this salesperson is pressuring me,
00:16:11.393 --> 00:16:12.561
Well, this salesperson is pressuring me, you know, if you--
00:16:12.628 --> 00:16:13.395
Is pressuring me, you know, if you-- "twenty percent off,
00:16:13.462 --> 00:16:14.029
You know, if you-- "twenty percent off, but you gotta get it now.
00:16:14.096 --> 00:16:14.963
"twenty percent off, but you gotta get it now. the store's gonna close,"
00:16:15.030 --> 00:16:15.697
But you gotta get it now. the store's gonna close," and blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:16:15.764 --> 00:16:16.698
The store's gonna close," and blah, blah, blah, blah. but that time,
00:16:16.765 --> 00:16:18.400
And blah, blah, blah, blah. but that time, i did use wisdom, and i said,
00:16:18.467 --> 00:16:19.735
But that time, i did use wisdom, and i said, "well, i'm--if i want it,
00:16:19.802 --> 00:16:21.336
I did use wisdom, and i said, "well, i'm--if i want it, i'll come back.
00:16:21.403 --> 00:16:22.004
"well, i'm--if i want it, i'll come back. but i'm gonna take a little walk
00:16:22.071 --> 00:16:23.205
I'll come back. but i'm gonna take a little walk here and think about it."
00:16:23.272 --> 00:16:23.939
But i'm gonna take a little walk here and think about it." and while i was walking,
00:16:24.006 --> 00:16:27.176
Here and think about it." and while i was walking, i saw a suit in a window
00:16:27.242 --> 00:16:28.210
And while i was walking, i saw a suit in a window that i liked.
00:16:28.277 --> 00:16:28.844
I saw a suit in a window that i liked. and i went in,
00:16:28.911 --> 00:16:29.511
That i liked. and i went in, and i tried that on.
00:16:29.578 --> 00:16:30.412
And i went in, and i tried that on. and dave said, "oh, man,
00:16:30.479 --> 00:16:31.313
And i tried that on. and dave said, "oh, man, that looks good on you."
00:16:31.380 --> 00:16:32.114
And dave said, "oh, man, that looks good on you." and it did.
00:16:32.181 --> 00:16:32.714
That looks good on you." and it did. it really looked good on me.
00:16:32.781 --> 00:16:33.649
And it did. it really looked good on me. and so, then,
00:16:33.715 --> 00:16:36.452
It really looked good on me. and so, then, i was gonna buy that.
00:16:36.518 --> 00:16:37.252
And so, then, i was gonna buy that. and then, i thought,
00:16:37.319 --> 00:16:37.886
I was gonna buy that. and then, i thought, "nope, i'm gonna think
00:16:37.953 --> 00:16:38.921
And then, i thought, "nope, i'm gonna think about it for a minute."
00:16:38.987 --> 00:16:40.089
"nope, i'm gonna think about it for a minute." and so, i took another
00:16:40.155 --> 00:16:41.056
About it for a minute." and so, i took another little walk.
00:16:41.123 --> 00:16:41.690
And so, i took another little walk. and the interesting thing was,
00:16:41.757 --> 00:16:43.158
Little walk. and the interesting thing was, was i decided
00:16:43.225 --> 00:16:43.992
And the interesting thing was, was i decided i wanted the watch,
00:16:44.059 --> 00:16:45.094
Was i decided i wanted the watch, i wanted the suit,
00:16:45.160 --> 00:16:46.628
I wanted the watch, i wanted the suit, but i only had money
00:16:46.695 --> 00:16:47.629
I wanted the suit, but i only had money for one or the other.
00:16:47.696 --> 00:16:49.064
But i only had money for one or the other. and i ended up deciding
00:16:49.131 --> 00:16:50.466
For one or the other. and i ended up deciding not to get either one
00:16:50.532 --> 00:16:51.433
And i ended up deciding not to get either one because i wanted to--
00:16:51.500 --> 00:16:52.668
Not to get either one because i wanted to-- i wanted to keep my money,
00:16:52.734 --> 00:16:55.437
Because i wanted to-- i wanted to keep my money, more than i wanted either one,
00:16:55.504 --> 00:16:56.839
I wanted to keep my money, more than i wanted either one, because i didn't wanna be broke.
00:16:56.905 --> 00:16:58.140
More than i wanted either one, because i didn't wanna be broke. >> ginger: right.
00:16:58.207 --> 00:16:58.740
Because i didn't wanna be broke. >> ginger: right. >> joyce: if i would've
00:16:58.807 --> 00:16:59.475
>> ginger: right. >> joyce: if i would've followed either one,
00:16:59.541 --> 00:17:00.309
>> joyce: if i would've followed either one, it would have put
00:17:00.375 --> 00:17:00.876
Followed either one, it would have put me in a place where
00:17:00.943 --> 00:17:01.610
It would have put me in a place where i wouldn't have had any,
00:17:01.677 --> 00:17:03.178
Me in a place where i wouldn't have had any, you know--
00:17:03.245 --> 00:17:03.979
I wouldn't have had any, you know-- it's just like,
00:17:04.046 --> 00:17:04.780
You know-- it's just like, spending money.
00:17:04.847 --> 00:17:05.481
It's just like, spending money. you know, if i wanted
00:17:05.547 --> 00:17:06.482
Spending money. you know, if i wanted to buy a little of this
00:17:06.548 --> 00:17:07.349
You know, if i wanted to buy a little of this or little of that
00:17:07.416 --> 00:17:07.983
To buy a little of this or little of that or a little of something else.
00:17:08.050 --> 00:17:09.151
Or little of that or a little of something else. and so, i did the right
00:17:09.218 --> 00:17:11.086
Or a little of something else. and so, i did the right thing then, but this time
00:17:11.153 --> 00:17:13.655
And so, i did the right thing then, but this time i did the wrong thing.
00:17:13.722 --> 00:17:15.557
Thing then, but this time i did the wrong thing. and i know, like,
00:17:15.624 --> 00:17:16.291
I did the wrong thing. and i know, like, you have a dog, it doesn't
00:17:16.358 --> 00:17:17.259
And i know, like, you have a dog, it doesn't seem to be any problem.
00:17:17.326 --> 00:17:18.460
You have a dog, it doesn't seem to be any problem. but is it a challenge ever?
00:17:18.527 --> 00:17:22.264
Seem to be any problem. but is it a challenge ever? >> ginger: oh, anyone
00:17:22.331 --> 00:17:23.665
But is it a challenge ever? >> ginger: oh, anyone with a dog can say it--
00:17:23.732 --> 00:17:26.935
>> ginger: oh, anyone with a dog can say it-- there are benefits,
00:17:27.002 --> 00:17:27.836
With a dog can say it-- there are benefits, but it's a lot of work.
00:17:27.903 --> 00:17:29.138
There are benefits, but it's a lot of work. i mean, i love having our dog.
00:17:29.204 --> 00:17:32.341
But it's a lot of work. i mean, i love having our dog. but i'm not in the situation
00:17:32.407 --> 00:17:34.209
I mean, i love having our dog. but i'm not in the situation that's exactly the same
00:17:34.276 --> 00:17:35.410
But i'm not in the situation that's exactly the same that you are.
00:17:35.477 --> 00:17:36.545
That's exactly the same that you are. and it really does have
00:17:36.612 --> 00:17:37.646
That you are. and it really does have so much to do with
00:17:37.713 --> 00:17:38.981
And it really does have so much to do with how much you travel,
00:17:39.047 --> 00:17:39.915
So much to do with how much you travel, and how much you
00:17:39.982 --> 00:17:40.549
How much you travel, and how much you have to concentrate
00:17:40.616 --> 00:17:41.350
And how much you have to concentrate when you're writing
00:17:41.416 --> 00:17:42.251
Have to concentrate when you're writing and preparing for teaching.
00:17:42.317 --> 00:17:43.752
When you're writing and preparing for teaching. so, we're all so different.
00:17:43.819 --> 00:17:46.221
And preparing for teaching. so, we're all so different. >> joyce: it also has
00:17:46.288 --> 00:17:46.955
So, we're all so different. >> joyce: it also has to do with your age.
00:17:47.022 --> 00:17:48.123
>> joyce: it also has to do with your age. >> ginger: oh, i'm sure
00:17:48.190 --> 00:17:49.024
To do with your age. >> ginger: oh, i'm sure that's true.
00:17:49.091 --> 00:17:49.591
>> ginger: oh, i'm sure that's true. >> joyce: and i've gotten
00:17:49.658 --> 00:17:50.325
That's true. >> joyce: and i've gotten just a little bit older.
00:17:50.392 --> 00:17:51.727
>> joyce: and i've gotten just a little bit older. >> ginger: just--
00:17:51.793 --> 00:17:52.194
Just a little bit older. >> ginger: just-- >> joyce: just a smidge,
00:17:52.261 --> 00:17:53.962
>> ginger: just-- >> joyce: just a smidge, just a little bit older.
00:17:54.029 --> 00:17:55.797
>> joyce: just a smidge, just a little bit older. and, i mean, just to be honest,
00:17:55.864 --> 00:17:59.101
Just a little bit older. and, i mean, just to be honest, i can't take the same
00:17:59.168 --> 00:18:00.969
And, i mean, just to be honest, i can't take the same amount of pressure
00:18:01.036 --> 00:18:02.304
I can't take the same amount of pressure that i could at one time.
00:18:02.371 --> 00:18:03.772
Amount of pressure that i could at one time. i mean, when i was your age,
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:04.873
That i could at one time. i mean, when i was your age, i could do six different
00:18:04.940 --> 00:18:05.774
I mean, when i was your age, i could do six different things at one time,
00:18:05.841 --> 00:18:07.109
I could do six different things at one time, and i thought it was fun.
00:18:07.176 --> 00:18:08.443
Things at one time, and i thought it was fun. but now i don't
00:18:08.510 --> 00:18:09.611
And i thought it was fun. but now i don't multitask as well.
00:18:09.678 --> 00:18:10.812
But now i don't multitask as well. i need to be able to keep
00:18:10.879 --> 00:18:12.014
Multitask as well. i need to be able to keep my mind on what i'm doing.
00:18:12.080 --> 00:18:13.482
I need to be able to keep my mind on what i'm doing. and so, it was just hard for
00:18:13.549 --> 00:18:15.317
My mind on what i'm doing. and so, it was just hard for me when i was trying to get--
00:18:15.384 --> 00:18:17.886
And so, it was just hard for me when i was trying to get-- remember, everything i needed
00:18:17.953 --> 00:18:18.887
Me when i was trying to get-- remember, everything i needed to bring up to the studio
00:18:18.954 --> 00:18:19.821
Remember, everything i needed to bring up to the studio to do tv and thinking about
00:18:19.888 --> 00:18:21.089
To bring up to the studio to do tv and thinking about what i was gonna be teaching
00:18:21.156 --> 00:18:22.925
To do tv and thinking about what i was gonna be teaching on that day, and then,
00:18:22.991 --> 00:18:23.825
What i was gonna be teaching on that day, and then, trying to think about
00:18:23.892 --> 00:18:24.493
On that day, and then, trying to think about what all i needed to take,
00:18:24.560 --> 00:18:25.894
Trying to think about what all i needed to take, you know, for the dog
00:18:25.961 --> 00:18:27.362
What all i needed to take, you know, for the dog and blah, blah, blah.

I mean, i can't. and, i mean, i've told my husband, if i ever

And, i mean, i've told my husband, if i ever do this again, tell me, "no."
00:18:55.457 --> 00:18:57.793
My husband, if i ever do this again, tell me, "no." i've told my daughter,
00:18:57.859 --> 00:18:59.194
Do this again, tell me, "no." i've told my daughter, who helps me a lot, if i ever

I've told my daughter, who helps me a lot, if i ever do this again, tell me, "no."
00:19:00.862 --> 00:19:02.564
Who helps me a lot, if i ever do this again, tell me, "no." now, the only way that

Do this again, tell me, "no." now, the only way that i would ever do it again
00:19:03.498 --> 00:19:04.366
Now, the only way that i would ever do it again would be if i was home
00:19:04.433 --> 00:19:05.767
I would ever do it again would be if i was home all the time.
00:19:05.834 --> 00:19:06.868
Would be if i was home all the time. >> ginger: sure, yeah.
00:19:06.935 --> 00:19:07.502
All the time. >> ginger: sure, yeah. if your situation changed.
00:19:07.569 --> 00:19:08.770
>> ginger: sure, yeah. if your situation changed. >> joyce: if my situation

Changed. but, you know, i'll be teaching and preaching
00:19:13.141 --> 00:19:14.276
But, you know, i'll be teaching and preaching as long as i've got breath.
00:19:14.343 --> 00:19:15.410
I'll be teaching and preaching as long as i've got breath. and so, i'm always going
00:19:15.477 --> 00:19:16.311
As long as i've got breath. and so, i'm always going to be going places
00:19:16.378 --> 00:19:18.046
And so, i'm always going to be going places and doing things.
00:19:18.113 --> 00:19:18.747
To be going places and doing things. and i just think that,
00:19:18.814 --> 00:19:20.315
And doing things. and i just think that, you know, sometimes--
00:19:20.382 --> 00:19:21.316
And i just think that, you know, sometimes-- i think, the bottom line is--
00:19:21.383 --> 00:19:22.751
You know, sometimes-- i think, the bottom line is-- and you know,
00:19:22.818 --> 00:19:23.385
I think, the bottom line is-- and you know, the only reason why
00:19:23.452 --> 00:19:24.052
And you know, the only reason why i'm sharing this is because
00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:25.087
The only reason why i'm sharing this is because i really want people
00:19:25.153 --> 00:19:28.223
I'm sharing this is because i really want people that maybe, are about
00:19:28.290 --> 00:19:29.391
I really want people that maybe, are about to do what i did--
00:19:29.458 --> 00:19:31.059
That maybe, are about to do what i did-- it's not about a dog.
00:19:31.126 --> 00:19:32.728
To do what i did-- it's not about a dog. >> ginger: yeah.
00:19:32.794 --> 00:19:33.362
It's not about a dog. >> ginger: yeah. whatever it is.
00:19:33.428 --> 00:19:33.996
>> ginger: yeah. whatever it is. >> joyce: i mean, you don't--
00:19:34.062 --> 00:19:34.863
Whatever it is. >> joyce: i mean, you don't-- some of you can get a dog
00:19:34.930 --> 00:19:36.465
>> joyce: i mean, you don't-- some of you can get a dog and it's gonna be great,
00:19:36.531 --> 00:19:38.000
Some of you can get a dog and it's gonna be great, and it's worth it
00:19:38.066 --> 00:19:38.900
And it's gonna be great, and it's worth it to you to do that.
00:19:38.967 --> 00:19:39.635
And it's worth it to you to do that. but i mean, some women
00:19:39.701 --> 00:19:40.669
To you to do that. but i mean, some women marry somebody because
00:19:40.736 --> 00:19:42.170
But i mean, some women marry somebody because they're afraid they're never
00:19:42.237 --> 00:19:42.938
Marry somebody because they're afraid they're never gonna have anybody.
00:19:43.005 --> 00:19:43.739
They're afraid they're never gonna have anybody. >> ginger: they want
00:19:43.805 --> 00:19:44.439
Gonna have anybody. >> ginger: they want to be married.
00:19:44.506 --> 00:19:45.073
>> ginger: they want to be married. >> joyce: they want
00:19:45.140 --> 00:19:45.707
To be married. >> joyce: they want to be married and they feel
00:19:45.774 --> 00:19:46.575
>> joyce: they want to be married and they feel emotional about it.
00:19:46.642 --> 00:19:47.509
To be married and they feel emotional about it. but they have a check
00:19:47.576 --> 00:19:48.443
Emotional about it. but they have a check and they're not using wisdom.
00:19:48.510 --> 00:19:50.445
But they have a check and they're not using wisdom. same thing with finances.
00:19:50.512 --> 00:19:51.880
And they're not using wisdom. same thing with finances. people buy things that they
00:19:51.947 --> 00:19:53.248
Same thing with finances. people buy things that they really should wait on.
00:19:53.315 --> 00:19:54.616
People buy things that they really should wait on. they should wait
00:19:54.683 --> 00:19:55.250
Really should wait on. they should wait and save the money.
00:19:55.317 --> 00:19:55.951
They should wait and save the money. it's not something that
00:19:56.018 --> 00:19:57.152
And save the money. it's not something that they need to buy right then.
00:19:57.219 --> 00:19:59.321
It's not something that they need to buy right then. or things we say, you know,
00:19:59.388 --> 00:20:02.924
They need to buy right then. or things we say, you know, how often have i thought,
00:20:02.991 --> 00:20:04.293
Or things we say, you know, how often have i thought, you know, "boy, when dave
00:20:04.359 --> 00:20:06.361
How often have i thought, you know, "boy, when dave comes home, i'm gonna tell
00:20:06.428 --> 00:20:07.362
You know, "boy, when dave comes home, i'm gonna tell him this, and this, and this,
00:20:07.429 --> 00:20:08.397

00:20:08.463 --> 00:20:09.264
Him this, and this, and this, and that, and that, and that, and something else."
00:20:09.331 --> 00:20:10.332
And that, and that, and that, and something else." and god has taught me over
00:20:10.399 --> 00:20:11.366
And something else." and god has taught me over the years that when you need
00:20:11.433 --> 00:20:12.534
And god has taught me over the years that when you need to talk to somebody about
00:20:12.601 --> 00:20:13.502
The years that when you need to talk to somebody about a problem, there's a timing.
00:20:13.568 --> 00:20:15.470
To talk to somebody about a problem, there's a timing. you need to pray first.
00:20:15.537 --> 00:20:17.906
A problem, there's a timing. you need to pray first. and there's a time to talk
00:20:17.973 --> 00:20:19.975
You need to pray first. and there's a time to talk to somebody and a time not to.
00:20:20.042 --> 00:20:21.376
And there's a time to talk to somebody and a time not to. you don't talk to 'em about
00:20:21.443 --> 00:20:22.711
To somebody and a time not to. you don't talk to 'em about a problem when they're tired.
00:20:22.778 --> 00:20:24.579
You don't talk to 'em about a problem when they're tired. you don't talk to 'em about
00:20:24.646 --> 00:20:26.114
A problem when they're tired. you don't talk to 'em about a problem, the minute they
00:20:26.181 --> 00:20:27.249
You don't talk to 'em about a problem, the minute they come in the door from work.
00:20:27.316 --> 00:20:29.518
A problem, the minute they come in the door from work. you pray and you pick
00:20:29.584 --> 00:20:31.520
Come in the door from work. you pray and you pick the right time.
00:20:31.586 --> 00:20:32.154
You pray and you pick the right time. and so, wisdom is doing
00:20:32.220 --> 00:20:35.490
The right time. and so, wisdom is doing now what you're gonna
00:20:35.557 --> 00:20:36.425
And so, wisdom is doing now what you're gonna be happy with later on.
00:20:36.491 --> 00:20:38.193
Now what you're gonna be happy with later on. and so, we have to think
00:20:38.260 --> 00:20:41.663
Be happy with later on. and so, we have to think about everything that
00:20:41.730 --> 00:20:43.865
And so, we have to think about everything that something is gonna entail
00:20:43.932 --> 00:20:45.867
About everything that something is gonna entail and not just do it because
00:20:45.934 --> 00:20:47.602
Something is gonna entail and not just do it because it's something that we want.
00:20:47.669 --> 00:20:48.870
And not just do it because it's something that we want. >> ginger: yeah,
00:20:48.937 --> 00:20:49.504
It's something that we want. >> ginger: yeah, i think you said some
00:20:49.571 --> 00:20:50.405

Really key things in there. wait. don't be stirred
00:20:53.342 --> 00:20:54.710
Wait. don't be stirred by urgency of emotion.
00:20:54.776 --> 00:20:56.411
Don't be stirred by urgency of emotion. and pray and ask god for
00:20:56.478 --> 00:20:58.880
By urgency of emotion. and pray and ask god for wisdom to help when
00:20:58.947 --> 00:21:00.415
And pray and ask god for wisdom to help when we really need it,
00:21:00.482 --> 00:21:01.350
Wisdom to help when we really need it, when we're feeling weak,
00:21:01.416 --> 00:21:02.351
We really need it, when we're feeling weak, especially.
00:21:02.417 --> 00:21:03.518
When we're feeling weak, especially. >> joyce: well,
00:21:03.585 --> 00:21:04.119

00:21:07.589 --> 00:21:09.224
And i think that it will help a lot of people listening. and like i said to some people,
00:21:09.291 --> 00:21:10.592
A lot of people listening. and like i said to some people, they may have--i mean,
00:21:10.659 --> 00:21:11.660
And like i said to some people, they may have--i mean, i know people who've got
00:21:11.727 --> 00:21:12.494
They may have--i mean, i know people who've got three dogs and four cats
00:21:12.561 --> 00:21:13.795
I know people who've got three dogs and four cats and, you know, they're--
00:21:13.862 --> 00:21:14.463
Three dogs and four cats and, you know, they're-- >> ginger: yeah, it's not that.
00:21:14.529 --> 00:21:15.864
And, you know, they're-- >> ginger: yeah, it's not that. >> joyce: they're just fine.
00:21:15.931 --> 00:21:16.598

00:21:16.665 --> 00:21:18.333
>> joyce: they're just fine. it's not about--you can have all the animals you want,
00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:19.534
It's not about--you can have all the animals you want, you know.
00:21:19.601 --> 00:21:20.202
All the animals you want, you know. but somebody suggested
00:21:20.268 --> 00:21:21.370
You know. but somebody suggested i get a gerbil.
00:21:21.436 --> 00:21:22.170
But somebody suggested i get a gerbil. i didn't wanna do that.
00:21:22.237 --> 00:21:24.373
I get a gerbil. i didn't wanna do that. but i think the point is,
00:21:24.439 --> 00:21:25.941
I didn't wanna do that. but i think the point is, is just because i wanted it--
00:21:26.007 --> 00:21:28.977
But i think the point is, is just because i wanted it-- it was, i mean--
00:21:29.044 --> 00:21:30.345
Is just because i wanted it-- it was, i mean-- i think god had to give

It was, i mean-- i think god had to give it to me to--
00:21:31.546 --> 00:21:33.648
I think god had to give it to me to-- because everything
00:21:33.715 --> 00:21:34.683

00:21:34.750 --> 00:21:35.684
Because everything was perfect. i mean, i prayed for god
00:21:35.751 --> 00:21:36.785
Was perfect. i mean, i prayed for god to give me the perfect dog.
00:21:36.852 --> 00:21:38.053
I mean, i prayed for god to give me the perfect dog. and, i mean, how many

To give me the perfect dog. and, i mean, how many trainers are gonna
00:21:39.054 --> 00:21:39.721
And, i mean, how many trainers are gonna take a dog and keep
00:21:39.788 --> 00:21:40.622
Trainers are gonna take a dog and keep it in their home?
00:21:40.689 --> 00:21:41.957
Take a dog and keep it in their home? you know, and this woman,
00:21:42.023 --> 00:21:43.058
It in their home? you know, and this woman, she said, "i would have never

You know, and this woman, she said, "i would have never done this for anybody,
00:21:44.459 --> 00:21:45.127
She said, "i would have never done this for anybody, but i just felt like
00:21:45.193 --> 00:21:46.228
Done this for anybody, but i just felt like i should do it."
00:21:46.294 --> 00:21:47.162
But i just felt like i should do it." and she wasn't--
00:21:47.229 --> 00:21:48.497
I should do it." and she wasn't-- she didn't do it because she
00:21:48.563 --> 00:21:50.198
And she wasn't-- she didn't do it because she was a christian and loved
00:21:50.265 --> 00:21:51.133
She didn't do it because she was a christian and loved me and loved my teaching.
00:21:51.199 --> 00:21:52.200
Was a christian and loved me and loved my teaching. she was--she just--god put
00:21:52.267 --> 00:21:55.137
Me and loved my teaching. she was--she just--god put it on her heart to do it,
00:21:55.203 --> 00:21:56.204
She was--she just--god put it on her heart to do it, and she did it.
00:21:56.271 --> 00:21:56.838
It on her heart to do it, and she did it. she didn't know it was god,
00:21:56.905 --> 00:21:57.706
And she did it. she didn't know it was god, but she had a desire
00:21:57.773 --> 00:21:59.107
She didn't know it was god, but she had a desire to do it, and she did it.
00:21:59.174 --> 00:22:00.142
But she had a desire to do it, and she did it. and so, i felt like everything
00:22:00.208 --> 00:22:02.944
To do it, and she did it. and so, i felt like everything was just falling into place.
00:22:03.011 --> 00:22:04.413
And so, i felt like everything was just falling into place. but still even, right down
00:22:04.479 --> 00:22:07.416
Was just falling into place. but still even, right down to when i took the dog,
00:22:07.482 --> 00:22:08.583
But still even, right down to when i took the dog, i'd have these little like,
00:22:08.650 --> 00:22:11.720
To when i took the dog, i'd have these little like, "man, i wonder if i'm doing
00:22:11.787 --> 00:22:12.687
I'd have these little like, "man, i wonder if i'm doing the right thing?
00:22:12.754 --> 00:22:14.556
"man, i wonder if i'm doing the right thing? i wonder if i'm doing
00:22:14.623 --> 00:22:15.323
The right thing? i wonder if i'm doing the right thing?"
00:22:15.390 --> 00:22:16.091
I wonder if i'm doing the right thing?" and so, i just--
00:22:16.158 --> 00:22:18.493
The right thing?" and so, i just-- i've just really learned
00:22:18.560 --> 00:22:19.628
And so, i just-- i've just really learned that you can't just--
00:22:19.694 --> 00:22:21.096
I've just really learned that you can't just-- you cannot go on emotion.
00:22:21.163 --> 00:22:22.264
That you can't just-- you cannot go on emotion. you have to really make
00:22:22.330 --> 00:22:23.832
You cannot go on emotion. you have to really make sure something's wise,
00:22:23.899 --> 00:22:25.767
You have to really make sure something's wise, before you do it.
00:22:25.834 --> 00:22:26.601
Sure something's wise, before you do it. >> ginger: that's really
00:22:26.668 --> 00:22:27.269
Before you do it. >> ginger: that's really helpful.
00:22:27.335 --> 00:22:27.903
>> ginger: that's really helpful. it's a great conversation
00:22:27.969 --> 00:22:28.670
Helpful. it's a great conversation because you're right,
00:22:28.737 --> 00:22:29.471
It's a great conversation because you're right, whether, you know, some
00:22:29.538 --> 00:22:31.072
Because you're right, whether, you know, some people are more emotional
00:22:31.139 --> 00:22:32.707
Whether, you know, some people are more emotional than others.
00:22:32.774 --> 00:22:33.508
People are more emotional than others. but it doesn't matter
00:22:33.575 --> 00:22:35.177
Than others. but it doesn't matter when you really have
00:22:35.243 --> 00:22:36.445
But it doesn't matter when you really have a desire for something,
00:22:36.511 --> 00:22:38.046
When you really have a desire for something, some of that wisdom can fly
00:22:38.113 --> 00:22:39.247
A desire for something, some of that wisdom can fly out the window, if we're not
00:22:39.314 --> 00:22:41.283
Some of that wisdom can fly out the window, if we're not really careful.
00:22:41.349 --> 00:22:41.817
Out the window, if we're not really careful. >> joyce: well, the thing
00:22:41.883 --> 00:22:42.584
Really careful. >> joyce: well, the thing that's interesting,
00:22:42.651 --> 00:22:43.218
>> joyce: well, the thing that's interesting, like you said something
00:22:43.285 --> 00:22:43.919
That's interesting, like you said something important, like,
00:22:43.985 --> 00:22:44.986
Like you said something important, like, some people are more
00:22:45.053 --> 00:22:47.222
Important, like, some people are more driven by emotions, certain
00:22:47.289 --> 00:22:48.723
Some people are more driven by emotions, certain personality types, like,
00:22:48.790 --> 00:22:50.125
Driven by emotions, certain personality types, like, the sanguine personality.
00:22:50.192 --> 00:22:51.993
Personality types, like, the sanguine personality. they are much more
00:22:52.060 --> 00:22:53.962
The sanguine personality. they are much more inclined toward emotion
00:22:54.029 --> 00:22:55.764
They are much more inclined toward emotion and emotional decisions.
00:22:55.831 --> 00:22:58.099
Inclined toward emotion and emotional decisions. i'm a choleric type a,
00:22:58.166 --> 00:22:59.568
And emotional decisions. i'm a choleric type a, and i'm not, and i've made
00:22:59.634 --> 00:23:03.505
I'm a choleric type a, and i'm not, and i've made the same mistake
00:23:03.572 --> 00:23:04.473
And i'm not, and i've made the same mistake three times now.
00:23:04.539 --> 00:23:07.309
The same mistake three times now. you'd think that i would have
00:23:07.375 --> 00:23:08.376
Three times now. you'd think that i would have learned a little bit quicker.
00:23:08.443 --> 00:23:09.644
You'd think that i would have learned a little bit quicker. but see, i would let enough
00:23:09.711 --> 00:23:11.213
Learned a little bit quicker. but see, i would let enough time go by in between that
00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:12.814
But see, i would let enough time go by in between that i would forget the last,
00:23:12.881 --> 00:23:14.583
Time go by in between that i would forget the last, you know, crazy thing.
00:23:14.649 --> 00:23:15.851
I would forget the last, you know, crazy thing. that's why i've told
00:23:15.917 --> 00:23:16.785
You know, crazy thing. that's why i've told other people to hold
00:23:16.852 --> 00:23:17.586
That's why i've told other people to hold me accountable.
00:23:17.652 --> 00:23:18.253
Other people to hold me accountable. so, you can help too,
00:23:18.320 --> 00:23:19.187
Me accountable. so, you can help too, if i want a dog.
00:23:19.254 --> 00:23:20.489
So, you can help too, if i want a dog. say, "no, joyce, remember.
00:23:20.555 --> 00:23:21.556
If i want a dog. say, "no, joyce, remember. remember when."
