Friday I want you all to enjoy the show hey I'm your host MD the veteran and welcome back to the real ones reserve podcast hey we're optimistic but realistic over here so if you feel like you want to get down with that you feel like you real you optimistic but realistic come on join the tribe be a part of the community so if you're first time guests just make sure you like subscribe comment on the show especially if you feel in it that'll help you know boost my show in the algorithm and get more exposure and allow other people to find the show you know so I would greatly appreciate that and you know people that need help would greatly appreciate that as well so like I say I have a great show for you guys today and without further ado let's get it in I hear somebody pondering hmm MD what do you mean by removing the only oftentimes I hear uh my friends or just people in general say I only did this or I only have this amount of whatever only kind of you know removes from the facts you know it removes credibility from your accomplishment your things that you have you know don't say only or I only got to this point in life if you get what I'm saying so let me provide a few examples not to insult anybody's intelligence but you know of course when I provide more just examples you can see it better you know so I have this good buddy who I met in the gym his name is Dave retired Air Force cap and he's outstanding gentleman and we're talking he's pretty ****** if you ask me we're talking he's like going through a lot of stuff right now and he goes hey I only did this or I only did that I'm like bro considering what you're going through you're a ******* hero you're a ******* stud you know other people in your situation will feel sorry for themselves and would just not be doing what you're doing so Dave if you hear this man just keep doing what you're doing bro and I definitely respect your efforts and commend you on just the positive mindset that you're fighting to maintain you know what I'm saying and I'll admit I was guilty of saying this before I learn any better you know um some things you have to go through and learn so that's what I learn as far as discrediting your progress or the amount of work that you're putting in or the amount of things that you do have you don't want to say only it's kind of like but you know like when we throw bud in there it's like pump your brakes like oh **** you know it's like oh I like this but OK something is coming after that but so that's just my mindset that's my way of thinking about you know the word only you know or there could be watch how about to flip it now there could be times where you're like oh I only have one failing grade bro no just like you know I tell my kids hey dad I only got 1D bro no you need to have no these that's like not even trying in my opinion if you got a D you know or hey it's like don't use that word to stand and now that's what I'm saying like if you say oh I only miss my runtime by 20 seconds like bro you failed you know that's just my mentality and not too many people think like that or people might think I'm sounding like a prick which is cool too you know but watch how you use the word only um I think either way it's kind of like hmm but that's just me guys I'm a weirdo but don't use that word do not constantly shortchange yourself by saying I only did this or feel good about the amount of things that you have or the amount of accomplishments you've you know attained and would that be being said don't let these one uppers get you even because they'll mess around and tell you owe you only got two more to me or oh I got two more than you y'all know how one of us do like oh you only number 28 out of 30 people I don't know but y'all know what I mean because although you may not be number one you're not #30 so if you #20 out of the group 80 congratulations good job I also thought this was a good subject today so we could teach our friends the same thing like we don't want our friends or ourselves to be discrediting the work we've put in or shortchanging ourselves by saying only now just like anything else it's going to take a lot of work for you to break this mindset especially if you've been doing it for a long time you probably don't even realize you're doing it you know it's an unhealthy habit so try to look at your only with a positive mindset you know we could sit there and dwell on whatever the topic may be but don't see it that way don't see it as only again friends that's where you step in and you hear your friends talking like hey man I only did this or I only did that and it's something that's positive hey stop them and give them the kudos that they deserve and help them to look at it in a better perspective and even if you don't feel like you're that friend be that friend encourage your friend tell them remove the only OK and I hope you guys learn something today I hope that y'all would like subscribe share the show comment on the show level grade please help your boy out because I'm trying I'm trying very hard and uh hey this is the real ones reserved podcast it's where we are optimistic but realistic we love to talk realistic topics and guess what I'm not perfect nobody a part of this tribe is perfect and nor do we expect you to be perfect we expect you to be real and that's the whole mindset of anybody that follows the show you know we're all trying people we're all people that think positively and you know we all have been through some things and we're still here we're still here you've gotten some growth from those trials and tribulations but let's continue to grow together this has been the real ones reserved podcast and TGIF y'all turn up one time for me this weekend let's go!
