Okay, we're gonna talk about overcoming guilt. Yep, we're gonna talk about it because guilt paralyzes so many people. I've coached people for so many years, and I'm telling you, man, is the one neurotoxin that just paralyzes folks, and we're gonna get rid of that today. Man, let's talk about that guilt like the shame of your past. Okay, who cares? Who cares if you used to be a stripper? Who cares if you used to have, you know, you had a child out of wedlock, or who cares if you had a baby when you were 15 or 16? Who cares? Man, some people carry that guilt. Oh my gosh, for decades. What about making poor decisions? I know you did something stupid when you were young. Okay, so you got a couple of felonies. So what? God forgives you, God loves you, He knows you were young, He knows you were stupid, He knows you used to drink, He knows you used to party a little too much, He knows you didn't finish school or college, He knows that your grade point average was like 1.7 and you got kicked out. Who cares? Man, he already knows. Listen, there are other people who just have so much guilt, like I gained 50 or 60 pounds, and now all I do is I just show my profile picture from the neck up. Who cares? Man, some people carry that guilt around and that shame. And oh my gosh, I've had three marriages, but two of them I don't talk about. People have a record from the past. Who cares? People used to be a drug dealer. Who cares? People got too many tattoos, and you don't show those tattoos. You know what I'm talking about. Those special tattoos. Who cares, man? Tramp, stamp, whatever the heck, and other ones that might be worse. Guilt paralyzes so many people. Oh my gosh, what about that secret affair you had 10 years ago, 12 years ago? Oh, it's done. God has forgiven you. Let's move forward. You know the problem with guilt? Do you know the problem with it what it is? God forgives instantly, but we are the ones who try to hang on to it for years and for decades. Man, that stuff was washed under the blood of Jesus a long time ago, but no, you got to keep bringing it up. You know, I heard this story one time, a short story. And it says, Oh God, I did this, and oh God, I did that. And God, don't you remember? And he says, No, I don't remember. And I would appreciate it if you stopped bringing it up because I've already cast it into the sea. It's done. How many times do we allow? We keep injecting ourselves with this guilt neurotoxin. Oh my gosh. The good news is don't keep it. You've done something stupid, okay, fine. But for goodness sake, don't keep it. Don't just keep going around that same guilt mountain. Don't just keep thinking about it. Keep bringing it up. And for goodness sake, forgive some other people too. Maybe people that have done something stupid like you have. Maybe they didn't do what you did. But man, we all have something that we are ashamed of and things that we shouldn't be ashamed of anymore. It's done. So forgive them. How do you forgive people? It's easy. You're not forgiving them to let them off the hook. You are forgiving them so that you can sleep better. Many times people have done something to you 10 years ago, 15 years ago, 20 years ago, 30 years ago, man, those people are either dead or they haven't thought about it and it's done, and oh my gosh, but you think by you keep thinking about it over and over and over again that you're somehow punishing them for the crap they did a long time ago. Well, it's the same stupid thing to keep bringing it up yourself, the stuff that you did a long time ago, and you keep punishing yourself over and over. I'm telling you, guilt is like a neurotoxin, like like snake venom or something, man. It's like you're biting yourself and you keep paralyzing yourself. So now you can't start that business because you had a bankruptcy or two. Now you can't buy another house because you feel guilty because you got foreclosed on. Oh gosh, who cares? Now you're so ashamed. Oh my gosh, that one time, that one time, and they came and snatched my car. Oh my gosh, at one in the morning, and I think some of my neighbors were watching. Who cares? Man, I've had two, three, four cars taken before, right? It happens. Crap happens, especially if you're an entrepreneur. We're some risk taking, do or die, man, black sheep, try it till you die. It's just our way, and we're gonna have so many failures, but those wins are going to make up for it in a big way. So listen, don't hold yourself accountable. Don't keep injecting yourself with the snake venom, with the guilt venom. It happened, it's done, it's finished. Forgive yourself, keep going. And I can't tell you how many times little guilt, like people haven't done their homework, so they don't call me for three weeks. What is this? Third grade where you haven't the dog ate your homework? Man, don't you know that I already know that you haven't done your assignments? I already know it's okay. Well, uh, let's just push our appointment back a couple of weeks and uh let's oh my gosh. Just say it already. Just be honest, just take and pull all of that stuff out of the closet and get on with your bad self. Get on with your life. Do something extraordinary. God loves you. I love you. Honey badger loves you. Love yourself, forgive yourself and stop biting yourself. Have an amazing day, or week, or month, or year. Let's go.
