And now how do you make the most of what that is?

So very often we simply aren't telling ourselves enough truth.

Yeah, well, we'll call him George.

And he was working at Hitech and he was doing well, you know, but he was also a caring guy and he was involved in his local church and in his community and came along the idea of fair trade and working with organizations, particularly in West Africa, where we're putting villagers to work and trying to help them engage in the capitalistic world by going through fair trade companies.

And he got this notion that

that what he needed to do was start a fair trade company that would create these craft companies in West Africa.

And he not only decided that that was something that he thought was really interesting, but that was really what God wanted him to do, that that was gonna make the world a better place.

He was gonna lift people out of poverty and he was gonna do this noble thing.

And off he went and he left his home country in Europe and flew to the, moved his family, went through all this incredible effort, which was a very noble idea,

But it didn't work out the way you had in mind.

What happened?

Why did it not work out?

Well, this is one of those situations where, you know, how committed to reality are you versus how committed to what you're aspiring towards?

It's lovely to have an aspiration.

But is that aspiration getting in the way of reality?

And so he starts this company.

Off it goes.

Of course, it's a very slow beginning, you know, and it reaches a certain degree of success.

And he then wants to grow to the next stage.

And in fact, not only does it not go to the next stage, it starts to falter.
