Thank you, Graham, for this live. There was a lot to unpack. I admire the way you reframed the more backward and human motivation of prove them wrong into a positive, spiritual call to action and moving forward with the dynamic verb “produce”. That is a great lesson. Continued blessings!

Surrender..let go…let God. “ I surrender to you, oh Lord, you are my Hope, please take control of my situation” Lord, empty me of me so I can be filled with You. Your unknown future is in the hands of the all-knowing God. It’s not who we are but whose we are that counts. We are God’s workmanship not a finished product, we are a “work in progress”. Thanks Graham…many good points to ponder!

I have been working on this very topic for a while now. Briefly, I’ve learned to ask myself “what is it I really want?, what am I actually after? “ rather than, “will they still like me?, will it cause confrontation?, is my opinion worthy, am I worthy?”

very meaningful. I am working on unconditional worthiness...not dependent on anyone or anything outside of my self. It is a monumental undertaking to re-direct the 3rd dimensional egoistic consciousness and allow the fullness of the soul, but it is definitely the task before me now.

Good evening or should I say day since we are on different time zones. I don’t know how many times I’ve tried to please people whether it be people I’ve worked with or it be a family member or just people in general. And I’ve done my part in trying to prove them wrong as well. I thought if I pleased them they would like me or they might ask me to be part of their group. I’ve learned that no matter how hard I try I’m not going to please them and they are not going to like me. And proving them wrong isn’t going to change anything. I’ve learned to say okay fine and move on. Does it hurt a little yes, but do I want to lose myself for the sake of a few people NOPE! So I have learned to let go and move on from that situation. I’ve also realized that God has me and he always will. There is a prayer in my Bible app that says. Jesus thank you for loving me regardless of the mistakes I’ve made. Because you love me. I want to love others.-even when they hurt me. In moments where I find it hard to love someone. Encourage me and strengthen me. Fill me with compassion and teach me how to love. them as you have loved them. amen.

I asked God every morning for strength and compassion towards those I interact with. This prayer helps me give that compassion even when people don’t like me. And I feel this working in me every day. Do I mess up and fail yes. But when I wake up I give thanks for a new day a new day to try again to get it right. So I can say without a doubt I’m a work in progress.

As far as AI goes I don’t know enough about it. But it does scare me at times. Do I agree with you about it taking some jobs away yes like the data sheets. Yes probably those jobs. But the job that I do no. I think those who work in Healthcare will always have a job because AI can’t do our job. Well maybe some of it not all of it.

And do I think UFO’s are real not sure to be honest. But if there are aliens amongst us I hope they are friendly.

Thank you Graham for always having such interesting conversations with all of us. It means the world to us all.

Graham, I like your new mantra, "produce God's will". That's perfect! I think you have a second mantra, "be a good father". Before this podcast, you were having "fatherhood fun" . As you spend time with your son, the two of you are bonding. He is getting to know you and you are getting to know him. I raised two sons. I know that there are many beautiful experiences ahead for you and Paola. As you establish a bedtime routine with your boy (I know his name.), in addition to putting on pajamas, reading a book, and the good night kiss, may he hear you say a prayer. That will become very meaningful to him. I have two mantras: "live a God-honoring life" and "make life fun". I continue to support your spiritual influence with prayers. Cheers!

Yes, i have always made sure that others have what they need before i get to take care of myself. Latelyi have started to think about myself ahead as God has told me to do.

I understand and agree with you about AI , and I don’t trust it to give us the correct answers
