It's the one thing.

I've done a lot of other things.

A lot of consistency, but the one thing I have been unbelievably consistent with without fail is prayer.

Like years recently or months recently?

Months recently, where I really believe I...

I never thought of meditation as listening, right?

And I've been meditating on and off for years now.

But I was talking to my therapist six months ago.

And she's Christian and she, we don't really, you know, it's like kind of church and state, right?

Like we don't always, you know, talk about God in therapy session.

But, you know, she said to me, she asked me a question that like, I kind of got stumped, right?

She was like, what is your relationship with God?

And I was like, I mean, I pray every morning and

My life is great, not without its faults and challenges, but my prayer.

And she's like, so let me ask you a question.

She said, if you were in a relationship and you were just the only one speaking, what do you think the other person in the relationship would feel if you're the only one talking?

Because right now, your prayer in the morning, you're the only one talking.

You know, you're not giving God a chance to talk.

You're not receiving.

You're just talking.
