That there's always the possibility there that if you're not saying all the yeses and you're not doing all the things, there is a cost to that.

There is a loss to that momentum.

I don't know that it worries me.

I am grateful for the reality.

And again, this is something that I don't want to sound like I'm a master at it.

No, it's something that I have to kind of regulate constantly because you're watching other people that look like their thing is growing faster or more exponentially.

I look forward though to the fact that when I have said no to something, for whatever those reasons are, I have actually opened up a window of opportunity for somebody coming up behind me that if I'm too insecure,

to open up that gap, that I'm actually standing in the way of somebody else who might be coming up behind me and just needs a place to be.

But I'm so insecure that I keep showing up in the spaces that are now meant for them.

So I kind of keep that in my mind that, man, when I was 20-something, there were some people in their 50s that started to have different priorities maybe in that season because of grandkids coming along.

They were secure enough to say their no's that somebody sat there and thought,

Well, you know what?

There's this little girl named Priscilla.

She's 27.

Let's just give her a chance.

There had to be a gap and a space for that.

So I'm at least aware of that.

I can't say that it worries me.

I'm aware of the loss of momentum.

Sometimes that just comes with age.
