For some of you, it's getting a little bit lonely in your life because people who started with you aren't gonna have the perseverance, the grind, the work ethic, the faith to finish with you. And the journey will always reveal what's real and who's real in your life. And so it doesn't make them bad, but everybody isn't meant to go with you.

And that breaks my heart because it's people I cared about. It's people I've tried to help. You have to learn how to let people go because I've tried to help people so much. And my dad told me this. He said, Trent, people will bring you down fast and you can bring them up. I know you want to. Yeah. Woo! I know you want to save people. That's not your job, bro. Stop playing God.

You're not there to save people. Because I don't know if you ever... I've almost drowned before in real life. And what happens if you try to save a person drowning, they're so frantic, they will pull you under and both people will drown. And so you have to trust that some people have to learn how to save themselves. I'm all for throwing out... The buoy. I'm all for throwing out the life jacket.

But at some point, you have to learn how to do for yourself because I refuse to lose myself trying to change people. And some of us, we can't keep peace in our life because we spend our whole entire life trying to change people. And people aren't going to change until they're ready to change. So for me, my whole thing is here you go, God. It's yours. Here you go.
