Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Hello everybody,
welcome back to the show.
We are here in house again.
As you can tell, we're
recording.
How y'all like it, you like it,
I can't tell.
I did it.
Good morning.
I feel like we have an audience
today, like we're there's.
We have cameras stuck
everywhere.
I feel like we're being watched
, oogly.
It's like somebody's spying on
us.
I feel like it's crazy.
But anyway, uh, welcome back to
the spiritual grind.
Welcome to the spiritual grind.
Speaker 2: Welcome to the video
world, yeah the video world.
Speaker 1: Man, we're really
trying to get this worked out,
where it's consistent and set up
the right way.
If you were in studio, you
would say how are you setting
this up the right way right now?
But we're learning.
Okay, it's a learning curve.
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely
we're experiencing that new
learning curve going from audio
to full video.
But I remember when you were
experiencing that learning curve
, just figuring out the podcast
though, yeah, I researched this
A whole year ago.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I researched
the best stuff to get you know
for podcasting and they didn't
tell you the learning curve
behind it no, so I went and
bought the roadcaster duo and
the road mics, all the fancy
equipment.
Yeah, downloaded all the stuff
and, wow, it took me a minute to
learn it all well, I mean,
aside from purchasing the
equipment you had, like this big
huge manual, manual that you
had me print off and I can
remember you sitting there for
hours on end reading through
that and figuring out the
buttons.
The Rodecaster itself does so
much filtering that I had to set
all that up to where it's
automatic and every time we move
I have to change the filters
move around automatic, you know,
and like every time we move, I
have to change the filters, move
around, and well, not only that
, but you had different apps
that it requires yes and those
each had their own individual
accounts that he had to set up
yeah, this didn't have, uh, its
own app yet.
Well, it does.
Actually.
Let me reframe, let me rephrase
that it's got its.
It's's got an interface app to
where you can change the sounds
and everything and download
directly to your computer.
Speaker 2: Right, but I'm just
talking about, like the
Buzzsprout and Audacity, I had
to set all those accounts up.
Different accounts that feed
into one and the other to
actually be able to edit and
upload.
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong.
Buzzsprout's easy and so is
audacity.
It is now, but get it set up I
was gonna say you know yeah I
hate when people use that word
it's easy.
Speaker 2: They triggered me
because I remember the long
evenings of listening to you
with a few cuss words.
Speaker 1: Blue choice words in
the background.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was sitting
there trying to get it all set
up.
So it may feel easy now, but at
the time it was.
Speaker 1: It was fun.
It was really fun to learn.
Actually, I enjoyed it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it had its
moments.
At the time it was frustrating.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's right, Our
topic of the day you ready for
that, of course?
Is everybody, are y'all ready?
Y'all ready for this?
Speaker 2: look at this beauty.
I just wanted to show this
beautiful, you're selling that
ball.
This one is this is selenite
but I I feel like it has a
mermaid essence.
I don't know if the camera can
pick it up or not, but this is
my all-time favorite bubble wrap
.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you see it was
in Hurricane Milton in bubble
wrap.
It sat in the salt water until
all the water receded at the
stone shop in Clearwater.
Speaker 2: Right.
And what it did is it created
these lovely little mermaid
scales.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it does look
like scales, Scale yeah it's
kind of cool.
Speaker 2: And it is so
wonderful.
Speaker 1: It's crazy what
saltwater does to that.
Speaker 2: It's wonderful.
I was like, oh yeah, I got to
have that one man.
Speaker 1: That's what saltwater
does when it has to sit.
He said it was in underwater
for like three weeks in the
saltwater, but it's pretty cool,
you got it.
It did turn out pretty cool, he
sold it cheap.
He did because he saw it
damaged, Of course you bought
this one too, and then you
bought that one.
Speaker 2: But he saw it damaged
, I saw perfection.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get it Kind
of like me.
Everybody saw me damaged.
You saw perfection.
Speaker 2: That's up for debate.
I'm kidding, did you all hear
it?
Speaker 1: But anyway, that kind
of carries right over into our
topic today.
Speaker 2: You do tell.
Speaker 1: You know, for the
last three podcasts we've talked
about spiritual, had two
sessions on spiritual sex, and
then we also have a episode on
appreciation, and this morning
we had a coffee talk.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And it kind of
married right into the whole
theme of today's podcast topic
for me and that is don't take
for granted what you appreciate
and don't take for granted when
you're in a relationship on any
part of it.
Because you know, we kind of
touched on it a little bit in
the relationship episode two,
relationship sex on the episode
two part.
But don't expect what somebody
chooses to do don't make an
expectation, but the coolest
part about it, how it all
married in today to our coffee
talk this morning which, by the
way, I am creating, the coffee
talk spiritual grind christmas
collection gift pack.
It's going to have two coffee
cups and our own special coffee
in it, by the way it's going to
be in the store.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we found a
way to make our own coffee blend
.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then put our
trademark or our logo or
whatever Logo yeah.
On it, and so that's very cool
that we found that it's going to
be called Coffee Talk.
Speaker 1: It's the grind.
Name Coffee Talk, but it's
going to be a little gift pack
you can get with two coffee cups
.
Name coffee, but it's going to
be a little gift pack.
You can get with two coffee
cups and and over inside.
Speaker 2: That will be a little
little something, something to
encourage people to have their
coffee talk in the mornings yeah
, I mean, that's how this all
started for us and I just want
to take a quick side tour that
you know.
Everything that we bring to
this microphone, to this podcast
, is something that we have
experienced firsthand, and the
tricks and the tools that we
used or are using to navigate
the experiences, or it's
something that we've worked with
other people as we coach
hundreds and hundreds of
thousands of people.
It's a topic that came up on a
consistent basis this is not
just pull something out of your
butt and let's talk about it and
hope that somebody gets
something out of it.
These are real live things that
we talk about that, that we that
are going on in our bubble.
And the topic you bring up is
what came up for me recently,
over the last few days that I am
working on restructuring my
perspective, and that is this I
watched a movie and it brought
up for me this moment where I
was like, okay, if my partner
were to leave today, my husband
and leave means, you know, leave
the relationship, leave the the
planet she actually said in
coffee talk this morning become
non-human I think I said
non-physical.
Oh yeah, you did say
non-physical would there be
anything that I regret not doing
that was the question that I
asked myself and in this section
of Life, pie, what I answered
back to myself when I was doing
my work over the last couple of
days is show him that just pure,
deep, consistent love through
physical acts, through verbal
conversation, and that I can do
better.
And what I found when I dug
even deeper is that I was
working from a template of fear
because I, somewhere along the
way, I came to a place of wow,
something ever does happen to
him.
And it was probably from our
little medical scare.
You know several.
What three, four years ago.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: We kind of went off
on this sidetrack.
Golly is this.
It like what's gonna happen
right having some medical stuff
with, uh, with this whole
journey, and I became fearful.
But the crazy part about is I
didn't.
I didn't consciously know that
I had become fearful and what I
did was I unconsciously began to
pull away from sharing myself
with you and accepting.
Accepting your tokens of
connectiveness through physical
touch, holding hands I'm not
just talking sexual, I'm talking
, you know, walking by, giving
you a kiss on the cheek or
stopping to give you a hug or
whatever.
I stopped allowing myself to
receive it and I stopped
allowing myself to give it
because somewhere in that
defining I said okay, well, if I
start pulling away now, when it
does happen, if it does happen,
it'll hurt less.
And so inevitably, in an
unconscious way, I was creating
the most miserable loneliness,
loneliness, and it kept coming
out as a conversation between
you I have.
I feel like I'm living all
alone, but you're here in my
bubble.
Speaker 1: I don't know how many
times I heard that I feel like
we're roommates.
Speaker 2: I'm like and what I
realized is I came to a place
where I realized it's me.
So, you guys, what I'm saying
is we teach you guys to look at
your reality as a mirror and
recognize what it's showing you,
and if you're verbalizing
something, it's usually because
you need to hear it.
Wow.
Speaker 1: So long story short.
Speaker 2: I've come to that
place of realizing that
unconsciously I was running a
template of fear of I'm you're
going away first of all, which
is a big fat lie.
You're not going anywhere,
right this minute stuck with me,
so I'm living in this future.
What if you go away?
However, which is just an
erroneous conversation, and it
keeps me living in the future.
I'm not even acknowledging the
now and I'm living from a place
of fear and because I had the
filter on, from my perspective
of fear, it wasn't even allowing
me to show you love and
affection.
Of fear, it wasn't even
allowing me to show you love and
affection because I didn't want
to be attached to you, because
I didn't want to feel the hurt,
but the convoluted part of it is
is that it didn't feel
comfortable, and it doesn't feel
comfortable when I don't allow
myself to act upon you.
Know, like there'd be times I
walk by you and I just want to
give you a hug, yeah, and I
don't act on it and I don't let
myself because I don't want to
reattach.
So that's how this topic came
about.
Speaker 1: When we first started
dating.
That's what you did, though.
Anywhere I went, you were
making sure you were right there
in my bubble.
Speaker 2: Right, that's what
you keep telling me.
Speaker 1: But you don't
remember it that way.
Speaker 2: I don't think I ever
really stopped to look at it
until now.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And you're completely
right, I was.
Speaker 1: And anywhere you went
, I was in your bubble.
I didn't care what you thought
about it.
I think I still do that now.
I think wherever you go, I kind
of just go with you.
Speaker 2: You do it less, but
that's because I nudge you back.
Speaker 1: That's a good point.
Speaker 2: It's your fault.
It's your fault.
It is completely because I
create my reality and I own it.
I have no fault in any of this
life.
Speaker 1: That's what
everybody's going to mess with
and they mess it up.
You know.
This same topic comes up in
relationships.
I guarantee you.
I believe so and like you know,
like from a man's point of view
.
From my point of view, I hadn't
changed anything.
I had continued to do the
things that I did.
And so I stopped and was like
what am I doing?
Yeah, what's wrong with me?
What am I doing wrong?
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: And I started to do
self-blame.
And in this, what everybody
needs to realize and that's one
of the topics in today's podcast
for me is there is not a blame
in a relationship, right, if
anything goes wrong with your
relationship, it's your fault.
Speaker 2: Right.
And you have to look at it Well
.
That's the kind of blame Right.
It needs to be more like a
critique or an awareness.
There's not a projected blame.
Speaker 1: I see If anything is
going wrong, like for me, like
when you were going through that
, I would ask you, like, what's
wrong?
Did I do something?
Did I make you angry?
Did I upset you?
And I was going through the
processes of trying to figure
out what I did differently and I
couldn't find anything
different than I'd normally do,
knowing what we know about sex.
Our relationship is phenomenal
and our life, you know, we have
a, what most people dream of.
Because we communicate openly,
people dream of because we
communicate openly, dream we, we
, I, I could, I could walk up to
her and tell her I'm going to
sleep with both her sisters
tonight and she'd be like, okay,
I'll hold the camera I probably
would say yeah watch out now
fire, beware you know, but it's
the kind of relationship that we
have absolutely
and and it's great you, what's
really cool about it is, from
the other side of this point, is
you saying those kind of things
and opening that door?
Men over the years have kind of
gotten a bad rap and they've
brought it upon themselves.
But when a woman opens the door
to say, hey, if you're ever
going to go cheap, call me and
I'll go with you, I'll be the
wingman, it kind of takes the
taboo-ness out of it and it's a
whole nother way of thinking.
And so we're like Hmm, you know
cause guys have a tendency to
go out there?
Because we know sex is for
procreation and pleasure.
It doesn't create love, it's a
bonus of love and it's also for
procreation and pleasure.
And when guys would go out it'd
become a challenge to a
pleasure.
But it opened up whole other
doorways or communication of
thought for me.
It changed the way I thought
and it was great.
It's a great place to be.
Speaker 2: But going back to the
part of blame, you know, like
you were kind, of detaching a
little bit.
Speaker 1: No, I was not just a
little bit.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well,
detaching and it will cause you
to pull away as well.
Yeah, um, because you, I'm sure
I'm like what's going on?
Speaker 1: where'd the
connection go well?
Speaker 2: and if I'm giving off
vibes of I don't want you
around, I don't you around, I
don't want to hug, I don't want
to hug, don't touch me.
Then of course, you're going to
mimic that back to me and not
even try eventually, yeah, so.
Speaker 1: But anyway, going
back to the blame part of it, is
there's really not a blame
within it, you know, because we
have a tendency as humans to
blame ourselves or blame the
other person.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And when we start
looking like it would have been
very easy for me to blame you in
that situation and turned it
into a fight.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And instead I was
just curious of what had
happened.
You know what had changed.
And so I went through the
processes in my head of well, I
guess I screwed this one up
somewhere.
She's not telling me, you know.
And.
And so I went from looking at
what I did and trying to figure
out what had happened to blaming
myself and I'm just never going
to figure it out.
That happens a lot in many
parameters of a relationship.
It can be finances.
That friend back in Texas that
football officiated with, he was
constantly complaining that his
wife was going out shopping.
She would go.
She would go to the mall when
he went out to do football on on
Fridays and Saturdays with me.
She would go shop on Saturdays
with her friends.
And after probably I don't know
three or four years of
listening to him complain about
it, 28 weeks a year for football
season, I finally said to him
well, doesn't she work?
He said yeah.
And I was like what'd she do?
Oh, she's an attorney, don't
you work for the grocery store?
Isn't she the breadwinner?
And he's he's like yeah, she
makes like three times more
money than I do, but I do the
bills, I don't care, she's
making her own money.
Now, if he was out spending the
money that you made?
Or if y'all don't combine your
finances, you're blaming her for
spending money.
Why, yeah, you're looking for a
place to blame.
That happens a lot in finances.
That happens in relationships.
That happens in friendships.
That happens, you know.
It happens all over the place.
Speaker 2: And there's really no
room for blame.
No, I would challenge everybody
to take the word blame out and
replace it with growth.
Anytime there's a situation
where you're blaming somebody
else, you need to stop and look
at yourself and grow.
There's some opportunity of
growth there I agree.
So, uh, initial question was
are there any aspects of your
life that, if were gone today,
that you would hold regret about
, and what can you do to are?
you asking me not experience
that no, I'm just to the, to the
audience.
That would be the question that
, if you're looking for some
opportunity for growth and
expansion, I would stop and say
are there any areas of my life
pie that if it ceased to exist
today would I have any regrets?
Or if I ceased, I mean, if
you're the one laying on your
deathbed, would you be able to
lay there and say I did exactly
what I wanted to do and how I
wanted to do it.
Or would you say, gosh, I
wished I had done this or gosh,
I wished I had done that?
Speaker 1: It's a great
challenge great challenge regret
.
Speaker 2: Are you living life
to the fullest?
Are you living life big and
large and ostentatious to where
you have no regrets?
Speaker 1: if people are being
real with themselves.
I don't know how many times I've
heard people say man, I wish I
wouldn't done this right, or I
wish I would go do this exactly
this Exactly and if they're
being honest with themselves and
they stop and look and truly
get down to it why they're not
living life to the fullest
Exactly and having growth and
expansion, they would figure out
that life is not here for us to
sit and go to work from seven
to five, come home and eat
dinner and watch tv until 10, go
to bed, watch the news and get
up again and do that six, five,
six days it absolutely can be
for some people it can, but if
you stop and ask yourself, do I
have any regrets?
Speaker 2: and you honestly can
answer no to that, then keep
doing what you're doing, man,
yeah, it's.
You know, not everybody wants
to live their life the way we do
.
It's a good opportunity to kind
of just pop in see how
everything's running on the
inner dashboard of self, and if
you're looking to see if you're
clean and clear, that would be
one that I would check is do you
have any regrets?
Speaker 1: I've been asked that
question.
Speaker 2: And if you do explore
, what areas in life are they?
You know, man, I wish I'd taken
my career to the next level.
I wished I had taken my
education on to get my doctorate
.
I wished uh, you know, my
relationship had been more
physically intimate whatever
whatever that life pipe portion
is, if you have any regrets and
you're still breathing air, you
have the opportunity now to do
something about it totally,
totally agree to begin again I
mean, look, I learned to surf at
51, yeah, and I learned to surf
from a guy that's 58 oftentimes
you and I have such a long
resume of life, a life resume
that people have a hard time
believing that we have done so
much in our short little 50
years and they don't believe us,
and I find it just very comical
.
But the reality is is that we
live life large If we want to go
try something?
Is that we live life large?
If we want to go try something,
we go out there and we try it,
and it doesn't matter what the
heck it is, man, I mean, I'm
telling you, it doesn't matter
if it's scuba diving, skydiving,
learning how to do an app.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm doing that
currently.
I'm learning how to do an app.
I'm actually building an app
right now.
Speaker 2: Writing a book.
Oh, yep, working on my second
Writing a bicycle yeah.
I mean it doesn't matter.
Don't let yourself be
sideswiped by fear.
Right, Go do it.
Figure out a way to do it.
Speaker 1: And that goes for
relationships as well.
Oh yeah, don't.
Don't regret doing anything
when it comes to your
relationship, right, you know,
if you have that thought in mind
, act on it, act on it.
Speaker 2: It's there for a
reason don't have the regrets.
Speaker 1: And when you, when
you have like you know, in our
previous podcast, when we've
talked about spiritual sex and
then we talk about appreciation,
now we're talking about not
having regret, and this is all
relationship talk, yeah and when
you don't have regrets, you
find out like, like I think,
every single day, I have true
appreciation because I don't
have any regrets.
Do I have things I would have
changed a little differently?
Maybe, maybe, but I have things
I would have changed a little
differently.
Maybe, maybe.
But I have no regrets because I
still have plans to go do a lot
of continue to live life.
Absolutely, and I can't have
regrets if I'm still living
Right.
And so, when it comes to your
relationships, act upon it.
Yeah, you know, do your, do
your thing.
You know, don't at one time
stop and say to yourself I wish
I'd have done that.
Yeah, yeah, you know, do your
thing.
You know.
Don't at one time stop and say
to yourself man I wish I'd have
done that.
Yeah, yeah.
And, like you know, you're
talking about our stories and
when we first came to the Tampa
area and I was telling the story
to one of the people about us
opening a 50s diner, we
purchased it, built it, opened
it, did a million dollars in
sales and closed it all in 10
months.
Right, that was pretty funny.
Witness, exactly what happened.
We rented the place 54 days
later.
We opened it.
We had it open for seven and a
half months.
We did $987,000 in sales in
nine and a half months and then
you and I both looked at each
other one day in the kitchen
like I really just don't want to
do this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it
served its purpose.
Speaker 1: We came.
Speaker 2: We showed you that we
could.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2: We did.
We had lots of expansion and
growth from it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, totally, it
was a good time you know that's
a good example of sometimes.
Speaker 2: Things come into your
reality and you put them in
place not because they're
supposed to be there forever,
right.
Not because they were ever
intended to come to full
fruition Right.
But sometimes because in doing
the actual journey to the end
goal is where you get the growth
and expansion that you were
seeking, even if you didn't
realize you were seeking it.
And so then the end game, or
the goal of it, dissipates,
because it was never meant to
hit the goal mark.
It was for your benefit along
the way.
That's why people say sometimes
the importance is in the
journey itself instead of the
finish line or the goal.
Is that you were never meant to
accomplish the goal?
Speaker 1: You know, we should
really have cups of coffee in
here.
Speaker 2: I actually do have my
hot tea.
Today I'm drinking tea called
masala masala tea.
Oh, that's when you bought it
last yeah, it's an indian tea
and it's quite lovely you know,
that guy was like I keep waiting
for you to order our spiritual
grind coffee cups so that I can
have it sitting here I will
order them.
Sorry, you can pour your.
Speaker 1: Pepsi in it.
I've been like, not like I
haven't been doing anything,
been a little busy, yeah for
sure, starting to open in the
store, building an app.
Speaker 2: Yeah.

I know what they are.
This is a little game that you
make them jump.
Speaker 2: It's a real game,
yeah it's a real game.
But it's a real game.
Yeah, it's a real game.
Omg, I was today years old.
Speaker 1: It's actually their
little round clear plastic
pieces and they're like
see-through in their different
color and I believe the game was
as you, you have to take your
tiddly wink and you, you, you
push on the edge of it and make
theirs hop out of the circle,
and if it don't hop out of the
circle, they pick theirs up and
they pop one years out, and then
the first person to get the
other person's tiddly winks all
out of the circle wins oh, I see
yeah, you don't.
Yeah, that's a true, that's a
real game.
They used to come in a little
cardboard box and it was like 20
of each color.
Speaker 2: Interesting.
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's
actually a science game because
it makes you learn how every
action has an equal and opposite
reaction.
Speaker 2: Kind of like a
physics science game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a physics
science game, and you learn how
to angle that energy away from
you and pop it out of the circle
.
I got pretty good at it when I
was a kid, yeah, but it's kind
of like marbles.
You know shooting marbles so no
regrets no regrets, yeah live
life large played all those
games on top of a made mud pies,
played in my cars and come to
find out I was on top of a
septic tank figure out a way
Bashar says on his.
Speaker 2: I love listening to
Bashar.
Yeah, he says on one of his
things because I can hear the
buzz, and it's the buzz in the
collective.
I can hear it and it says this
yeah, it's real easy for you to
say you have all this money to
be able to just go do whatever
you want to do, and I live
paycheck to paycheck and.
I can barely afford to buy
groceries.
Pick one small thing and do it.
Figure out a way to do it.
Anyway, back to what he says,
when you can do more with less
you will Less becomes more.
Yeah, your less becomes more,
yep.
I mean and the thing I want to
bring into play is you and I
have both been on journeys where
we literally took our last
couple hundred dollars, or like
with me, I took the cleaning
supplies that I clean in my own
house off of under my cabinet
and I went and started a
cleaning company.
Yeah, and very successful
cleaning company made lots of
money, and so it can be done.
You just have to get your butt
out there and do it.
Speaker 1: You know what it's
more about.
It's not about what you have.
It's about what you have inside
of you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the gumption,
because we get caught in a rut.
Speaker 1: You know people say I
can't put $20 in my 401k, I
don't have the gas to do this.
When they just do it, what they
find out is the energy flows.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And everything goes
right.
But what are we where?
It's that frog mentality and
and have you heard the analogy
of the frog?
You put a frog in, you take a
frog and you put him in a pot of
boiling water and he'll jump
right back out no shit and you
put a he will wait, stop, he
will yeah, yeah, he'll jump out
of the water because it's hot.
Speaker 2: Now you take it you
put him in there alive yeah why
would you put him in there alive
?
Speaker 1: what it's.
I'm just making an analogy here
.
Bear with me here.
Okay, miss distracted.
So you take it.
It's an analogy.
You put a hot, you put a frog
into a pot of boiling water.
That frog will jump out 100.
Now you take a frog and you put
him into a pot of cold water
and turn the heat up on it and
let that water come to a boil.
That frog won't ever jump out
really sit there and die what,
and it's the same concept that
we get caught up in in life.
We get caught into that same.
We don't realize what's going
on around us.
Yeah, and because we get so
unfocused with our reality that
we create this environment.
That's safe.
Now, that frog in his
environment, that's nice warm
water until it gets to a boil
and then he don't live much
longer.
But he won't jump out because
he's caught up in the mix and
it's, and it's, it's.
That's true analogy.
That's actually a scientific,
scientifically proven and the
the point of it, that is, is
when you get caught up in that
daily grind and you're just
sitting in that cold water as it
heats up, you don't even
realize it it'll totally engulf
you and then next thing you know
you're dead and you have
regrets like that.
That frog probably regretted
not jumping out right.
Speaker 2: so you're on your
deathbed and you have regrets.
I wish I had, I wished, I had,
I wish, I had, I wished, I had,
I wish I had.
Speaker 1: Well, you hear
everybody say I got a bucket
list.
How many people actually do
their bucket list?
Right, go do your bucket list,
yeah.
Speaker 2: Somebody, a country
guy, wrote the song Live Life
Like I'm Dying.
Speaker 1: Live like I was dying
, that's a very good motto.
Yeah, totally.
Speaker 2: It's definitely
something I bring into my circle
now is stay in the now, I mean
the reality is, we're all dying
humans.
Speaker 1: We're all dying right
.
Sometimes you might as well
live now yeah and have a good
time yeah, that's right, just
I'm not gonna die for a long
time.
I still have a lot of stuff to
get done, so you never get it
done nope, and I don't plan on
ever getting it done, but I will
get a bunch more done right
anyway.
So you know, going back to the
relationship and not having the
regrets is you know?
Because we talked about the
relationships, the two weeks of
the spiritual sex, and then we
talked about appreciation and
now we're talking about regret
yeah and you're not having
regrets.
And when you have a bond with
somebody else and you take for
granted those things that they
do, you will regret it.
And what was that?
Look for.
Speaker 2: You have a bond with
somebody else like super glue.
Speaker 1: Well, sometimes, yeah
, I'm rubber, you're glue.
Well, sometimes, yeah, I'm
rubber, you're glue.
I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 2: She's loco in the
cabeza.
Oh, we know some Spanish.
Speaker 1: Living life without
regrets is the new challenge.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the
challenge of the week you know,
you know, change some habits.
Yes, make yourself aware, ask
the question.
That would be the first thing,
because that's, that's basically
what happened.
So I was watching this series
and the grandfather passes away.
Speaker 1: Is that the one
you've been watching?
Speaker 2: Yes, Good grief, it's
so drama-filled.
Speaker 1: She's up until like
3.30 in the morning watching it.
Speaker 2: I don't normally
watch all this trauma, drama,
nonsense, but for some reason I
was drawn to this series.
It's a seasonal thing, it's got
like three seasons and I binge
watched it and because I got
snickered in I know I got
snickered in but you know,
everything has reason and what
came out of it was oh my gosh,
if this man that I loved weren't
here anymore, would I have any
regrets?
And on the flip side of that
coin, if I found out that I
wasn't going to be here in you
know days or weeks, do I have
any regrets and do I have
anything that I want to get done
?
Speaker 1: Right yeah.
Speaker 2: And so that would be.
The first step is stop and ask
yourself that question on both
sides of the coin and see where
it takes you if you're, you know
, in a curious mindset of having
something to play with or
whatever, or curious about what
it will bring up for you,
because hopefully someday you
get to a point where clearing
beliefs and changing habits
becomes fun, yeah, and
interesting, kind of like
untangling a pattern or solving
a mystery.
Speaker 1: Yes, Anyway, guys,
hey, so yes, on October 3rd we
are starting our Power of
Thought School.
Speaker 2: I feel like you do
too much advertising or a
