You can do your best to put yourself in the best position to have the greatest things happen for your life. But the truth is, and I know you know this, I've done everything right and things have still went wrong. And I say wrong, but really, it's just not the right for my life at that time. And so I've learned to say, you know what, Trent? Get out the driver's seat of your life and put God there.

And where God takes you, sometimes it don't make sense. You question it. But I always say this quote, God will allow you to go through places you don't understand just to bring you to the place where he needs you to be. So when I look over my life, that's where the trust comes from. That's where my faith comes from. It doesn't come from knowing what tomorrow brings.

It comes from knowing that God has had my back time after time again. And that's hard, right? Because sometimes you lose people, you lose things, and you want these things back in your life. Sometimes it's loved ones. But I've learned to have patience and faith in saying, If it's not for me, then it's just not for me. And that's so hard at times when it's things that you love.

But I prioritize my peace over everything now. And that's definitely helped my life. So I would tell the person, prioritize your peace and learn over time that everything is working out for your good. And I know that seems super motivational and inspirational, but it's the truth. Everything is working for you. And that's the truth that I stand by and live by.

Exactly. What's the point of it?
Exactly. What's the point of it?
Yeah. I made a commitment. When I first started, like 2009, and when it really got real in 2011, and I made a commitment that I would always be a voice for people to let them know that everything they're going through can soon turn everything they made it through. And I wanted to be an example of that.

And I didn't want to just be a one trick pony where it's like, I'm telling you these things, but I'm not letting you know what I'm going through. And yeah, I go through a lot, just like every human being. And I remember making a promise to my best friend while I started doing what I do that committed suicide. And I told him that,

being vulnerable and transparent led to my transformation. And I want to let people know that it's okay to go through things. It's okay to share things. It's not going to hurt your brand. It's okay to admit that you're going through a struggle because that's relatable. I can inspire people with my things.

I can inspire people with the house or the car, or I'm telling you all these numbers, which that's a part of it too. But I wanted to be able to impact people with my heart. and say, I want you to experience my heart. And I want you to feel this connection. And I want you to see a human in me, this human that can rise above, this human that can conquer, this human that can overcome.
