1
00:00:00,070 --> 00:00:01,030
Ralph: Let me ask you something.

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,200
Does it always feel like everyone
around you is always chasing that

3
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:09,760
next big thing, that new car, that
bigger house, that latest gadget?

4
00:00:10,930 --> 00:00:14,980
Maybe it's you doing the chasing too,
but if you're constantly feeling like you

5
00:00:14,980 --> 00:00:19,660
need more and that chase is draining your
peace and it's also draining your wallet,

6
00:00:19,660 --> 00:00:21,970
what if the answer isn't more stuff?

7
00:00:23,125 --> 00:00:24,205
Deep contentment.

8
00:00:24,235 --> 00:00:27,805
Well stick with me today 'cause we're
gonna break down how to find peace.

9
00:00:41,791 --> 00:00:42,151
Hey there.

10
00:00:42,151 --> 00:00:44,830
Welcome back to your Daily,
financially Confident Christian.

11
00:00:44,971 --> 00:00:48,541
I'm Ralph and I'm so glad you chose
to join me today as we continue

12
00:00:48,541 --> 00:00:50,161
to answer that big question.

13
00:00:50,806 --> 00:00:54,646
How can I become a financially
confident Christian?

14
00:00:55,006 --> 00:00:57,796
And we're building a foundation
in our new series that we started

15
00:00:57,796 --> 00:01:01,276
a couple days ago called Beyond
the Budget, finding Financial

16
00:01:01,276 --> 00:01:03,286
Freedom Through Intentional Living.

17
00:01:03,286 --> 00:01:06,226
We're talking all about how
to live intentionally and

18
00:01:06,226 --> 00:01:07,696
find that financial freedom.

19
00:01:07,696 --> 00:01:10,726
And yesterday we talked about
how intentional living is about

20
00:01:10,726 --> 00:01:12,706
purpose and not deprivation.

21
00:01:12,706 --> 00:01:13,576
I hope you checked it out.

22
00:01:13,576 --> 00:01:16,216
If you didn't, I'm gonna encourage
you to go listen to that again.

23
00:01:16,951 --> 00:01:20,221
Because I really nailed it yesterday
about how living intentionally

24
00:01:20,491 --> 00:01:21,931
is not about deprivation.

25
00:01:22,621 --> 00:01:26,431
Today I want to go and talk about
something even deeper, and that's how can

26
00:01:26,431 --> 00:01:31,261
you cultivate true contentment in this
world that just says More, more, more.

27
00:01:31,261 --> 00:01:33,211
And you know exactly
what I'm talking about.

28
00:01:34,471 --> 00:01:36,781
' cause maybe as you listen to
this, right now, you're feeling

29
00:01:36,781 --> 00:01:38,191
that pressure to keep up.

30
00:01:38,986 --> 00:01:40,276
You look around and you see others.

31
00:01:40,276 --> 00:01:43,876
You see your neighbor just got
that new fancy car, or maybe your

32
00:01:43,876 --> 00:01:46,696
friend just bought a brand new house
and you were over to their house.

33
00:01:46,846 --> 00:01:48,496
Oh, well this house is beautiful.

34
00:01:49,229 --> 00:01:52,439
Or maybe at work you see somebody's
got the latest gadget and you, I

35
00:01:52,439 --> 00:01:56,336
gotta have that gadget, and then
suddenly you're thinking, what

36
00:01:56,336 --> 00:01:57,686
I have just feels inadequate.

37
00:01:59,114 --> 00:02:02,054
What I'm really talking about
here is that not enough mindset.

38
00:02:03,314 --> 00:02:05,024
It's easy to fall into that trap.

39
00:02:05,024 --> 00:02:08,444
Listen, I've been there
comparing myself to the neighbor,

40
00:02:08,444 --> 00:02:09,914
comparing myself to the friend.

41
00:02:10,064 --> 00:02:11,594
Don't even talk about social media.

42
00:02:11,714 --> 00:02:12,614
Go on social media.

43
00:02:12,614 --> 00:02:16,895
Look at the highlight reel there
and see that not enough mindset that

44
00:02:16,895 --> 00:02:19,625
just leads us to these impulse buys.

45
00:02:20,165 --> 00:02:20,975
Oh, I gotta have this.

46
00:02:20,975 --> 00:02:22,115
Oh, I gotta have the new car.

47
00:02:22,475 --> 00:02:26,405
I'm thought about how you're gonna
pay for it, which leads us to debt.

48
00:02:27,500 --> 00:02:29,510
And you've been working hard to
pay off your debt, and you just,

49
00:02:29,510 --> 00:02:30,290
I gotta have this new thing.

50
00:02:30,290 --> 00:02:31,400
So you just build up the debt.

51
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:36,110
Again, all of that just leads us
to this square piece of stress.

52
00:02:37,970 --> 00:02:41,569
And if you're honest with
yourself, you keep chasing,

53
00:02:42,717 --> 00:02:44,427
but you never feel satisfied.

54
00:02:45,117 --> 00:02:45,747
You know why?

55
00:02:46,557 --> 00:02:49,670
Because that more, that, more
that, more that, more, that

56
00:02:49,670 --> 00:02:51,080
finish line just keeps moving.

57
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,560
It just keeps going farther ahead because
there's another more in front of that.

58
00:02:55,915 --> 00:02:59,545
And when that finish line keeps moving,
it just robs you of the present joy

59
00:02:59,545 --> 00:03:01,195
that you could experience right now.

60
00:03:01,405 --> 00:03:05,335
And in the long run, it just
completely steals your financial peace.

61
00:03:06,181 --> 00:03:07,621
Here's the thing, you gotta understand.

62
00:03:08,625 --> 00:03:10,981
The world we live in says more is better.

63
00:03:10,981 --> 00:03:12,151
Hey, you gotta have more.

64
00:03:12,151 --> 00:03:15,661
You gotta have the biggest house,
the nicest car, the best gadgets,

65
00:03:15,661 --> 00:03:16,981
you name it, the best clothes.

66
00:03:16,981 --> 00:03:20,461
These sneakers, you get the idea
like that watch I had to have that

67
00:03:20,461 --> 00:03:21,781
I talked about a few days ago.

68
00:03:21,901 --> 00:03:23,341
The world said, Ralph, you need more.

69
00:03:23,341 --> 00:03:24,121
You need better.

70
00:03:24,966 --> 00:03:26,886
But God's word gives us a better truth.

71
00:03:26,886 --> 00:03:27,786
Let's look in the Bible.

72
00:03:27,786 --> 00:03:28,926
Let's look at the book of Hebrews.

73
00:03:29,436 --> 00:03:32,256
And this comes to us from
chapter 13, verse five.

74
00:03:32,256 --> 00:03:35,616
And I love this verse in the Bible
because it really nails exactly

75
00:03:35,616 --> 00:03:36,816
what I'm talking about today.

76
00:03:37,656 --> 00:03:41,526
It says this, keep your lives
free from the love of money and

77
00:03:41,526 --> 00:03:43,926
be content with what you have.

78
00:03:43,926 --> 00:03:45,696
And it could have stopped
there, but it continues.

79
00:03:45,696 --> 00:03:50,390
And it said, because God has
said, never will I leave you.

80
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,730
Never will I forsake you.

81
00:03:54,365 --> 00:03:55,205
What is it telling us here?

82
00:03:55,205 --> 00:03:57,125
Keep your lives free
from the love of money.

83
00:03:57,125 --> 00:03:59,915
Now, a lot of people take that and
and go different direction about that.

84
00:03:59,915 --> 00:04:01,265
I've talked about that on the show.

85
00:04:01,355 --> 00:04:04,505
Encourage you to go check out
those episodes, but bigger than

86
00:04:04,505 --> 00:04:09,755
that, the next couple words, and
be content with what you have.

87
00:04:10,090 --> 00:04:13,370
And then I love the ending to
this because think about what

88
00:04:13,370 --> 00:04:15,530
this verse is actually saying.

89
00:04:15,860 --> 00:04:18,350
Be content with what you have
because God has said, and here's,

90
00:04:18,380 --> 00:04:19,400
here's what you really have.

91
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:20,480
Here's the contentment.

92
00:04:21,544 --> 00:04:24,754
God will never leave you,
nor will he forsake you.

93
00:04:25,654 --> 00:04:27,964
See, contentment is not resignation.

94
00:04:28,804 --> 00:04:31,294
Well, you know, I'm just gonna be
content and I'm gonna do what Ralph said.

95
00:04:31,294 --> 00:04:34,474
I'm just gonna live a dull, boring
life, and I'm not gonna have the new

96
00:04:34,474 --> 00:04:36,934
stuff, and I'm not gonna have the,
that's not what I'm saying at all.

97
00:04:36,934 --> 00:04:39,844
It's not resignation.

98
00:04:40,864 --> 00:04:43,264
Instead, it's turning the
tables and it's choose to live

99
00:04:43,264 --> 00:04:44,944
with an intentional mindset.

100
00:04:46,158 --> 00:04:49,818
Because what you're really doing there
is you're trusting God's provision today,

101
00:04:49,818 --> 00:04:51,498
and you're anchoring your peace in him.

102
00:04:52,548 --> 00:04:55,818
You're anchoring your peace in the
person who said, never will I leave you.

103
00:04:55,818 --> 00:04:57,528
Never will I forsake you.

104
00:04:58,398 --> 00:05:00,258
That finish line's not moving my friend.

105
00:05:00,258 --> 00:05:02,598
It's right there where it's
been from the beginning.

106
00:05:03,708 --> 00:05:06,408
You're trusting in God's provision
today, and you're anchoring your

107
00:05:06,408 --> 00:05:08,508
peace in him, not your possessions.

108
00:05:09,828 --> 00:05:13,608
If you're wondering how you break that
power break that power of that more

109
00:05:13,608 --> 00:05:15,648
and more and more, it's how you do it.

110
00:05:16,502 --> 00:05:17,642
' cause here's the big truth.

111
00:05:18,902 --> 00:05:23,612
Contentment is a spiritual discipline
that reduces financial stress.

112
00:05:23,612 --> 00:05:27,122
I wanna say that again because it's so
important that you hear that right now

113
00:05:27,122 --> 00:05:32,582
where you are contentment is a spiritual
discipline that reduces, I'm even

114
00:05:32,582 --> 00:05:35,402
gonna say eliminates financial stress.

115
00:05:36,602 --> 00:05:37,802
That sounds pretty good, doesn't it?

116
00:05:37,802 --> 00:05:39,182
So now you're asking, what can we do?

117
00:05:39,302 --> 00:05:42,872
How do we cultivate contentment
in a discontented world?

118
00:05:43,502 --> 00:05:45,452
It's a really tough call
because everything around you

119
00:05:45,452 --> 00:05:46,832
is telling you get more, more.

120
00:05:46,892 --> 00:05:47,492
I mean, listen.

121
00:05:47,522 --> 00:05:51,632
Open up your email, open up your
phone, go online, do, and it's all

122
00:05:51,632 --> 00:05:55,682
shouting to you more, more, more.

123
00:05:57,062 --> 00:05:58,562
Well, here's my solution for today.

124
00:05:59,170 --> 00:06:02,620
Practice conscious gratitude
for what you already have.

125
00:06:03,294 --> 00:06:05,274
Then actively resist comparison.

126
00:06:05,709 --> 00:06:08,619
I'm gonna say that again because I think
it's so important that you hear it.

127
00:06:08,829 --> 00:06:12,549
Practice conscious gratitude
for what you already have,

128
00:06:14,049 --> 00:06:15,819
and then actively work at it.

129
00:06:16,299 --> 00:06:17,349
Resist comparison.

130
00:06:17,349 --> 00:06:22,359
It's training your heart to find
sufficiency and joy right where you are.

131
00:06:22,359 --> 00:06:22,929
What did the Bible say?

132
00:06:22,929 --> 00:06:24,699
I'll never leave you nor forsake you.

133
00:06:25,689 --> 00:06:26,859
You've already got it.

134
00:06:28,404 --> 00:06:30,204
So here's my action step for you today.

135
00:06:30,204 --> 00:06:32,634
I want you to take great time right now.

136
00:06:32,964 --> 00:06:35,004
I want you to do what I
call the gratitude pause.

137
00:06:35,004 --> 00:06:36,264
I want you to take five minutes.

138
00:06:36,264 --> 00:06:39,114
Maybe you can't do it right now, but
when you've got some quiet time, but

139
00:06:39,114 --> 00:06:40,374
I wanna encourage you to do it today.

140
00:06:40,584 --> 00:06:44,544
Just take five minutes and I just
want you to list three, four, or

141
00:06:44,544 --> 00:06:46,374
five things that you're grateful for.

142
00:06:46,764 --> 00:06:48,384
And these aren't some big
pie in the sky things.

143
00:06:48,444 --> 00:06:50,814
I want you to be detailed, think small.

144
00:06:51,384 --> 00:06:53,154
Maybe it's something like
you're grateful for coffee.

145
00:06:53,154 --> 00:06:53,934
I know that sounds silly.

146
00:06:53,934 --> 00:06:58,554
You're grateful for shoes, you're grateful
for hugs, or you're grateful for moments.

147
00:06:59,573 --> 00:07:03,323
' cause what you're really doing is you
have a purposeful idea to shift your

148
00:07:03,323 --> 00:07:05,243
heart from scarcity to abundance.

149
00:07:05,243 --> 00:07:06,353
See, that's what we need to do.

150
00:07:06,533 --> 00:07:10,613
We need to shift our hearts from that
feeling of scarcity to abundance.

151
00:07:11,123 --> 00:07:11,993
Here's some ideas.

152
00:07:12,083 --> 00:07:16,613
Maybe you say, I'm grateful for the quiet
morning I had before the kids woke up.

153
00:07:17,813 --> 00:07:18,173
I've been there.

154
00:07:18,173 --> 00:07:21,413
My kids are gone from the nest
at this point, but I remember

155
00:07:21,413 --> 00:07:23,003
those mornings all too well.

156
00:07:23,423 --> 00:07:25,763
So I'm grateful for that quiet
morning I had before the kids woke up.

157
00:07:26,003 --> 00:07:29,303
Just me, my bible, maybe a cup of coffee.

158
00:07:30,773 --> 00:07:31,673
Here's another one.

159
00:07:31,673 --> 00:07:33,923
One of the listeners shared this
with me a couple months back.

160
00:07:33,923 --> 00:07:35,153
He said, Ralph, I'm grateful.

161
00:07:35,153 --> 00:07:39,593
My car, it may not be fancy, but
it starts every morning and it

162
00:07:39,593 --> 00:07:41,183
gets me to where I need to go.

163
00:07:41,513 --> 00:07:43,103
Hey, there's something to be grateful for.

164
00:07:43,493 --> 00:07:46,373
It's not that flashy new sports
car that your neighbor has.

165
00:07:47,273 --> 00:07:50,423
It's not fancy, but it starts every
morning and gets me where I need to go.

166
00:07:51,593 --> 00:07:54,953
Or maybe this, I had a 20 minute
conversation with my teenager yesterday

167
00:07:55,192 --> 00:08:00,112
and they actually opened up, Hey,
that's something to be grateful for.

168
00:08:00,142 --> 00:08:01,642
Teenager opening up to their parents.

169
00:08:01,642 --> 00:08:03,832
I don't mind, we're struggling to do that.

170
00:08:04,777 --> 00:08:06,307
Here's one a lot of people
won't even think about.

171
00:08:06,457 --> 00:08:10,267
The shoes I wore today are over five
years old and still doing their job.

172
00:08:10,702 --> 00:08:12,832
Listen, that's God's
provision in your life.

173
00:08:13,762 --> 00:08:15,862
And I don't mean to make light
of it, but think about that.

174
00:08:17,197 --> 00:08:18,037
Or maybe this one.

175
00:08:19,086 --> 00:08:23,256
I'm thankful for the encouraging
text A friend sent me out of nowhere.

176
00:08:24,606 --> 00:08:25,746
I'm just gonna pause for a second.

177
00:08:25,746 --> 00:08:27,276
Think about how impactful that can be.

178
00:08:27,306 --> 00:08:32,316
If you have the ability to encourage
someone today, do it ' cause

179
00:08:32,316 --> 00:08:33,216
they're on the other side.

180
00:08:33,216 --> 00:08:34,836
They're gonna be so thankful for that.

181
00:08:36,338 --> 00:08:37,898
I want you to be specific.

182
00:08:38,258 --> 00:08:41,618
You gotta be specific about this
because gratitude grows in the details.

183
00:08:41,618 --> 00:08:44,258
You're not just thankful for,
oh, I'm thankful for my family.

184
00:08:44,738 --> 00:08:49,058
No, You're thankful for how your son made
you laugh last night, or how your spouse

185
00:08:49,058 --> 00:08:51,218
made your coffee just the way you like it.

186
00:08:51,338 --> 00:08:54,908
Be specific because gratitude
grows in the details.

187
00:08:55,118 --> 00:08:55,958
So that's the first thing.

188
00:08:56,078 --> 00:08:57,458
Start that gratitude thing.

189
00:08:58,268 --> 00:09:01,778
And then I want you to identify
one of your comparison triggers.

190
00:09:02,783 --> 00:09:03,923
We're gonna really battle this.

191
00:09:03,923 --> 00:09:05,783
We gotta understand what our triggers are.

192
00:09:05,933 --> 00:09:09,592
Where do you feel the most
discontent, maybe for you?

193
00:09:09,592 --> 00:09:10,612
It's on social media.

194
00:09:10,612 --> 00:09:12,112
I see social media, Robin.

195
00:09:12,142 --> 00:09:13,882
Everybody's got everything,
and I don't have nothing.

196
00:09:15,082 --> 00:09:16,462
Maybe it's in stores.

197
00:09:16,882 --> 00:09:19,312
You walk through the target store
or whatever store you go to.

198
00:09:19,312 --> 00:09:20,692
Walmart, I don't really care where it is.

199
00:09:21,412 --> 00:09:24,112
And it just makes you, oh, I
wish I had that boy, I wish

200
00:09:24,112 --> 00:09:25,492
I had the money to buy that.

201
00:09:26,662 --> 00:09:28,972
Or maybe it's just certain
conversations you get stuck in.

202
00:09:30,352 --> 00:09:34,642
You've got to have a purpose of becoming
aware of what stirs up discontent

203
00:09:34,792 --> 00:09:36,982
or what stirs up envy in your life.

204
00:09:36,982 --> 00:09:38,722
Here's some great examples of this.

205
00:09:39,592 --> 00:09:45,742
I notice I feel less than every time I
pass a luxury vacation post on Instagram.

206
00:09:46,642 --> 00:09:51,052
Every time I see one of those posts,
I, I, oh, I just feel, I feel like I'm

207
00:09:51,052 --> 00:09:52,702
less because I'm not on that vacation.

208
00:09:53,527 --> 00:09:56,047
Or maybe I get frustrated about
my wardrobe after walking through

209
00:09:56,047 --> 00:09:58,297
Target or scrolling on Amazon.

210
00:09:59,211 --> 00:10:02,481
Maybe for you it's talking with a
coworker just bought a new car and makes

211
00:10:02,481 --> 00:10:04,401
me start to feel embarrassed about mine.

212
00:10:04,401 --> 00:10:07,881
They're talking about, oh, I got this
fancy sports car and I'm thinking

213
00:10:07,881 --> 00:10:09,681
about my Toyota out in the parking lot.

214
00:10:11,001 --> 00:10:11,956
It gets me to where I'm going, bud.

215
00:10:12,141 --> 00:10:15,531
It's certainly not fancy and it's
certainly not that flashy new sports car.

216
00:10:16,581 --> 00:10:19,701
Maybe for you, it's when I hear someone
talk about paying off debt quickly.

217
00:10:21,141 --> 00:10:23,871
'cause I'm not able to do that
'cause I spiral into self-criticism

218
00:10:23,871 --> 00:10:25,311
because I'm not doing that.

219
00:10:26,361 --> 00:10:28,971
Maybe you, maybe for you it's
printers used to inspire me.

220
00:10:28,971 --> 00:10:31,491
Now it just makes you feel
like my home isn't good enough.

221
00:10:32,031 --> 00:10:36,321
Not spend a lot of time on Pinterest
or our episodes are there, but it used

222
00:10:36,321 --> 00:10:39,921
to inspire me, but now it just makes
me feel like my home isn't good enough.

223
00:10:40,851 --> 00:10:44,841
Ask yourself what places or people tend
to shift your focus from that feeling of

224
00:10:44,841 --> 00:10:47,901
gratitude to that feeling of grumbling.

225
00:10:49,581 --> 00:10:52,581
Once you've identified, once you
put those things in, implement

226
00:10:52,581 --> 00:10:54,501
what I'll call a comparison filter.

227
00:10:55,011 --> 00:10:58,371
Once you figure out those things
that are causing you to not feel

228
00:10:58,461 --> 00:11:02,871
gratitude, limit your exposure to
them, unfollow those accounts, close

229
00:11:02,871 --> 00:11:08,585
those shopping pads, redirect that
conversation, and then let list you

230
00:11:08,585 --> 00:11:10,355
made, revisit that gratitude list.

231
00:11:10,355 --> 00:11:12,395
Maybe you need to do
that every single day.

232
00:11:13,430 --> 00:11:16,430
See, you've gotta proactively
protect your mindset and

233
00:11:16,430 --> 00:11:18,590
proactively protect your heart.

234
00:11:19,790 --> 00:11:23,240
Here's some great examples that I
unfollowed five influencers today.

235
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,480
It's probably a good start, and I
realized they were subtly making

236
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,460
me feel like I was always behind.

237
00:11:29,570 --> 00:11:30,380
Here's another great one.

238
00:11:30,380 --> 00:11:31,605
I closed out my online card.

239
00:11:31,605 --> 00:11:34,460
I had $120 worth of things I didn't need.

240
00:11:35,570 --> 00:11:38,390
Instead, I reread my gratitude
list and felt a shift.

241
00:11:39,289 --> 00:11:42,169
Maybe next time someone brings up money
or stuff that triggers me, I'm going

242
00:11:42,169 --> 00:11:47,089
to change the subject or just silent,
remind myself, Ralph, that's not my lane.

243
00:11:48,078 --> 00:11:51,508
Or May, maybe I move the social
media off off my home screen.

244
00:11:51,508 --> 00:11:54,148
Now I pause before opening
it and sometimes guess what?

245
00:11:54,148 --> 00:11:55,048
I just skip it.

246
00:11:55,343 --> 00:11:57,534
And I absolutely love this one.

247
00:11:58,508 --> 00:12:01,268
Every time I feel the itch to buy
something unnecessary, I take 60

248
00:12:01,268 --> 00:12:03,818
seconds to list three blessings instead.

249
00:12:04,538 --> 00:12:05,678
See, here's the truth.

250
00:12:06,578 --> 00:12:09,488
Gratitude is the antidote to comparison.

251
00:12:10,328 --> 00:12:12,458
And the goal isn't to shame yourself.

252
00:12:12,728 --> 00:12:13,388
It's just not.

253
00:12:13,388 --> 00:12:17,168
It's to really recenter
yourself on what matters.

254
00:12:18,188 --> 00:12:20,708
'cause here's why this works,
'cause gratitude refocuses

255
00:12:20,708 --> 00:12:22,358
you on God's blessings.

256
00:12:22,658 --> 00:12:24,428
I will never leave you no forsake you.

257
00:12:25,703 --> 00:12:28,313
That filtering, comparison
stops that not enough narrative.

258
00:12:28,313 --> 00:12:32,314
You stop hearing that in the back of
your head, and once you develop these

259
00:12:32,314 --> 00:12:36,304
habits, they're gonna anchor you in peace
and they're gonna anchor you in purpose.

260
00:12:36,304 --> 00:12:37,684
Well, how about we pray together today?

261
00:12:38,115 --> 00:12:40,875
Father God, we just thank
you for all you've given us.

262
00:12:41,126 --> 00:12:44,216
And Lord, we just confess that
often we chase more and we

263
00:12:44,216 --> 00:12:46,016
compare ourselves to others.

264
00:12:46,455 --> 00:12:49,725
And Lord, we just ask that you would
help us to live our lives free from

265
00:12:49,725 --> 00:12:54,015
that love of money and cultivate deep
contentment in our hearts for the

266
00:12:54,015 --> 00:12:55,845
things you've already give us, Lord.

267
00:12:56,298 --> 00:12:59,508
And help us to truly see the
treasure, Lord, and the blessing

268
00:12:59,508 --> 00:13:02,808
that you give us on a daily basis,
and just be grateful for them.

269
00:13:02,808 --> 00:13:04,818
And we ask this in confidence.

270
00:13:04,818 --> 00:13:06,948
In Jesus name, Amen.

271
00:13:07,361 --> 00:13:07,691
Listen.

272
00:13:08,585 --> 00:13:14,777
Contentment is an active daily choice
practice gratitude filter comparison

273
00:13:14,867 --> 00:13:16,577
because you're moving towards freedom.

274
00:13:17,567 --> 00:13:20,387
And I just wanna encourage you,
if this episode has impacted

275
00:13:20,387 --> 00:13:22,217
you, I'm gonna encourage you
to share it with somebody else.

276
00:13:22,217 --> 00:13:25,427
We talked about that a little while
ago, about that encouraging text.

277
00:13:25,697 --> 00:13:28,472
I. Maybe you know somebody that's
struggling with this, somebody who's

278
00:13:28,652 --> 00:13:32,312
really batting that fear of not having
enough, and I just wanna encourage you

279
00:13:32,462 --> 00:13:36,182
to share this episode with them and
show them that there is a purpose and

280
00:13:36,182 --> 00:13:37,982
they can be grateful for what they have.

281
00:13:38,222 --> 00:13:42,602

288

radically shift your finances.

289

Yes, we're gonna talk about a radical
shift in your finances, so don't miss it.

00:14:01,697 --> 00:14:05,057
And now I just wanna encourage you,

I want you to believe in yourself
