And then it's like, do I need food? So BMF. That's my thing. I'm like, breath, movement, food. And I'm recalibrated. Wow.
Stop thinking you're alone. Stop thinking you're alone. There's 8 billion other people who've gone through the same thing. I've had to be with a lot of families because I do volunteer work at hospice. And I've had to tell a lot of parents, you're not the only one who lost a child to cancer. There's support groups. You're not the only person who struggled with alcoholism.
You're not the only person who went bankrupt. You're not the only person who lost your love. You're not the only person. And sometimes the problem with pain is it feels so isolating. and you think you're the only person, and because you're the only person, you don't raise your hand. Because you think you're in a room alone, so why raise your hand?
But you realize that there's a lot of other people who've been through something, and getting in a group, talking with them, and reaching out is the most important thing. Because if you suffer in silence, it's really hard to see the daylight. If you suffer in silence, you don't raise your hand. And so the most important thing is go, I'm not alone. And I'm a person of faith. I believe in God.
And when those times I feel stuck, I just think I'm like, you know what? I'm like, okay, I'm in this battle right now. And it feels dark and it feels like all the arrows are coming and it feels like I'm going to lose the sucker. It's like everything feels ruinous. So I start catastrophizing. I'm zapping myself into the ground.
And then I had this metaphor and I just remember, I'm like, you know what though? This battle is really, it just sucks. But you know what? Because I have faith. Faith means there's a forward position. And I believe that in this forward position, I got the great commander out there with an army of angels and they're clearing fields in front of me.
I don't even know how much easier it's going to get until I keep marching. I don't even know. God's clearing paths. He's opening gates. He's arranging stuff. Seven cities down the line. I feel like I'm stuck here, but over there there's freedom. He's already clearing the paths. He's already setting it up. I just forgot. I don't see it.
But if I believe someone's clearing the paths in front of me and someone is on the path beside me or behind me or around me, I'm empowered again. It doesn't mean I don't feel terrible. It doesn't mean everything's fixed. I just believe things are being set up in front of me that I cannot even determine. You will not know your destiny, but someone's playing those checkers.
Someone's moving those pieces. Like you don't know it, but something's been setting up for you. And how do we know that? Because you're here. Because you're here.
If this big hearted athletic beautiful man who's so good and so great has impacted you tonight, then maybe you can accept that there's a serendipitous reason that out of this huge city and surrounding area of two and a half some million people that you're in that chair. Maybe a lot of chess pieces actually moved in the last six months that put you in this chair. They did in his life.
He got married. 22 years ago, down in the marina, there's a Safeway. Now, if you hear a murmur of laughing, it's because they don't call it Safeway in the marina. They call it Dateway. So all my single friends go to Safeway in the marina. Well, there used to be a 24 hour fitness across the street. And one day I went in that 24 hour fitness, scrawnier than I am now.
And I was on this machine where you put your legs in it and then you do this thing for your back. I don't know what they call that thing. Back extension, thank you. I'm doing the back extension, 22 years ago. And there's this girl on this yoga mat named Denise. who not too many months later would be buying my groceries and believing me before the first book.
So maybe if I had an impact at all in anything I said tonight, maybe there was serendipity that brought us here. That was 22 years ago, a couple miles away. Wow.
So maybe something brought you in this room, and if you can actually tap that for a minute, then you can go, wow, all these things lined up that I could be in that room and get some kind of inspiration or some kind of knowledge that Lewis gave or Brennan gave, or maybe you just found, because some of you are here, and tonight an idea downloaded to you that we didn't even say.
Words didn't even come out. It was not explicit. Something came into your heart or into your mind. It just happened to land it on you tonight. So you're given something tonight. So maybe things were lined up that you could be given that thing tonight. And if that could be true, isn't it true things are being lined up for you that you could be given to tomorrow and next week and next year?
Maybe you're in the right place in your life. And things are going to be all right. Beautiful.
Without being cheese, I'm so grateful for our friendship. Yeah, it's been like that. Good. Yeah. It's like, I don't know if I got to tell you this at the wedding. I want to tell you, but you know, when you go to someone's wedding, you kind of, at some point, if you get some time, he was, you were like, you hung out with me at the wedding. And, um, you know, there's plenty of people there.
Um, but what, what. We got to have a moment right before, right before. Yeah. Yeah. Before the ceremony even. Yeah. It was like amazing. And, um, I think sometimes when you go to a wedding, it kind of pops in your mind at some point, you're like, Oh, we're friends. You know what I mean?
Like we've been friends for a decade, but like when you're at someone's wedding and you're having these moments before the weddings and it's like, oh, this is like, you know, and it just made me grateful. And it also gave this amazing trip to me and my wife. And so it was just, I'm grateful for that. I'm grateful to be in this beautiful theater. My dad, you know, having served in the U.S.
Marine Corps for 22 years, and I get to be here thinking about him. And I get to be here with you and think about my wife, who was, you know, I met just a couple miles away. And so San Francisco is kind of a coming home a little bit. So it's nice. It's nice to be here. I'm grateful for you, buddy. Thanks, man.
