I probably would have cheapened the moment had I used unnecessary words that would have only shown people that I was a little more intelligent.

And people are not interested in your intelligence, Derek.

impressed by your effectiveness.

So I have to tell myself after I get through all of the sympathy sessions and the guilt trips of what I could have said and been better, you know what?

I said when I left home, I wanted to help people.

If a person told me that they were helped, then the win is their expression and not what I thought I should have done differently.

Yeah, I appreciate that.

It's absolutely the truth.

You know, not being afraid to let people and not on every case, but not being afraid of letting people be the mirror for you.

Like if you keep looking in the mirror at yourself, you're going to find all of the imperfections.

You're going to find everything that's wrong.

And only reason why we find what's wrong is because we're comparing it to what somebody else has that we perceive is right.

But it might be right for them, but it ain't right for you.

What if what if my arms were on your body?

That would make you look awkward.

Right.

If your arms were on my body, they say, who's a skinny guy with the with the built arms?

Who's the skinny guy with the biceps?

You know, it's like my my anatomy fits with what I have and that we can accessorize our life based on everybody's high points and then mesh it all in together, because then that isn't the authenticity of who we are as individuals.

You know, a lot of people come to our church not because I'm successful, but because I failed where they failed.
