Michael Todd

I would have lost my legacy. I would have lost the thing that meant the most to me. And this is the culmination of me having to deal with like, where did that come from? And so I was sitting with my mentor outside of Oklahoma City in a crackle barrel. And he was he's listening to me talk. And he just he's sitting there. His name is Tim Ross. And he has this huge pile of eggs that he's eating.

And so I was sitting with my mentor outside of Oklahoma City in a crackle barrel. And he was he's listening to me talk. And he just he's sitting there. His name is Tim Ross. And he has this huge pile of eggs that he's eating.

He loves eggs for some reason. And I just remember seeing the eggs. And he says, so when did you have. When did you decide that your standard for this life was greater than God's? And I was like, what are you talking about? And because I'm a person of faith, we look at the Bible as principles and practical things that we can use to live our lives by.

He said, remember in creation, it said in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth and the star. And he told the ocean how far it could come and created land and did all of these things. And he looked back at his work and he said, it's good. He created the solar system and the galaxies and all the animals. And then he looked back at it and said, that's good.

And he does all this creating on the sixth day, he creates man and woman. And he looks at him and said, this is good. He said, if God's standard is good, why is your standard great? And something inside of me was like, whoa, I can't keep living and not even appreciating all of the good that's around me because of the trauma that happened to me at 12. Ralph. And now I don't even like good.

And now I don't even like good.

I don't even appreciate good where people would love to have good. I can't have good money. I have to have great money. I can't be good in my relationship. My relationship hasn't been great. I'm literally missing the essence of life and what's right in front of me. I can't even be grateful for what people would kill for because of the trauma that happened on the maroon chairs when I was 12.

And this is part of what led to me going through this healing journey and transformation so that I could really, really live life to the fullest.

Yeah. So so the fruit was now I'm a very successful workaholic, excellence expecting perfectionist person, Mike Todd. But the root was I was an insecure little boy who felt like nobody saw him. So I was going to make sure you saw me. So now everybody will look at the fruit and be like, yay. Like, wow. Like, that is phenomenal. But the root was trauma. The root was damage.

The foundation helped you get there in a sense. Yeah. It was motivated negatively. But if you never stop and examine it, it would have been the same thing that destroyed me.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And this is why I'm telling everybody who's listening right now, it may be time to stop and evaluate. Just because you're doing good doesn't mean you're doing good.
