anyway so after all that PTSD here in LA till we laughed because we were there another week I'm running red lights and I'm like thinking everyone's out to kill me in I I finally I was in Jerusalem it was almost Rosh Hashanah and everyone's talking about the mallet from alikum alikum alikum and that's Russia Sean Evans I'm at the king God's the king the king the king the king millet milk and I was not very excited about russia shana because i was the male and I just had my crown removed and it was brought back to Jerusalem where they have an epidemic of rabbis and nobody needs revenue and [Music] and I was really I was crushed and I just could I was dreading Rosh Hashanah because call God King when you're when you think you're the king it's really really two painful days Russia China and from some divine stroke of God's will my rosh color of lahmacun aussie of the boston colo in in her know we're all leaving relieved it's the end of the day we're all leaving he says you have come over here let me read your little piece and your reasoning a little piece about humbling yourself before the vanilla for the king and we sat there for about a half hour learning how see the sun Rosh Hashana and about the chauffeur and about waking up from the fact that you think you're the king of everything when on Russia Shana you finally that you're not the king it was all about us thinking working and and how hard it is for us to coordinate God that's why I noticed when we when we bow to God like for example in in Elena Lucia back for example when we bow you'll notice most men cannot bow you know they'll go like this they give a little token lace and the mesma curtsy you know they're like they're not really bowing and you're supposed to go to ninety degrees I mean you're supposed to be flat-out 90 degrees when you say if I'm nothing to Corey Mustafa when you say when we stock I mean supposed to be at a 90 degree angle there but men can't do that and boy what could I not do that and anyway I finally realized what had happened and I finally realized that I had my prayers were answered from spot that I got to see what it is to be when you have false humility is I went up I went up licking the dust of Los Angeles I was licking the the dust of an alley in Los Angeles with a gun at my head bowing before some illiterate monster and at that point also I realized you've got about us all of us are gonna bow to something you're gonna be bowing to something you're gonna miss Sakura I think to some many people be sacrificing to money many people really sacrificing to all kinds of things and you're gonna you're gonna you're gonna be bowing in this life so you can bow to God you're gonna wind up bow into people you're gonna wind up bound to money you're gonna wind a bow into something else but we're here to bow that God yes he made human beings upright were the only character we're the only animal in the world that's upright but with that same uprightness with proper core muscles as we discussed yesterday we're created to bow and our whole life really is only about will we surrender ourselves are we willing to surrender and God's gonna make all of us surrender and if you don't surrender you're still gonna surrender because there's something called death where God will take away all of everything and we will all not only when we bow but we're just gonna shrivel up into nothing and we're gonna be we're gonna be worm food you know in one day and and so and so that's humbling and and to make God the king but to be awesome because you're awesome and that's humility is to be awesome and think about it let's say David David if you're really awesome and you do the things that are awesome it's gonna be very humbling it's very humbling because it's there's a lot of potential rejection and failure that will come your it's not just potential it will come your way if you if all of us except upon ourselves how awesome we are created in the image of God and we start acting that way neither one's gonna love that it's gonna be rejection and if you pursue the things that awesome people pursue there's gonna be lots of failures you'll fill many times and that's very humbling and you I know something when you fail when you get rejected you fail over and over again it's like mini deaths it's ego death over and over again every time you fail and every time you get rejected you get these mini deaths and something's amazing about it because eventually you start breaking through you start to really achieve and what's there and after a while you're like really living the the purpose you were created for there's something amazing about this is that you'll notice there's a correlation between people or know what they're living for and no fear of death and people who don't know what they're living are for scared of death and the reason why people don't know what they're living for a scare to death is because they're afraid to talk before they figured it out they don't want to die because they haven't furs I haven't figured it out and they haven't done anything about it because if you didn't figure out you can't do anything about it so they're so they're scared of dying the interesting thing is people who do know what they're here for and are living it fully and they're living very much more fulfilled lives than people don't know aren't afraid of death they should be the most rate of death because they're living the most fulfilled lives so they could lose that in death but yet you'll find the people who are living the most fulfilled lives are the least afraid of death and I think one of the reasons is David is that they've already died many times through every rejection through every failure every humiliation everything that happened to them by living awesome in a world that wasn't ready for them means you're gonna hit a lot of walls and each one each wall you hit is a mini death on your path to greatness what does it mean like a practice a sense well one thing would be if you living awesome so then people people who you should be networking with you would network with them whereas I'm just giving one example is networking like you're not gonna get you you won't get anywhere without networking in your life you got a network but so many of us refuse to speak to the right people because of our fear weird fear our fear that we're gonna feel this big in front of them and they're gonna they're not gonna be interested in us and we're just it wouldn't have been worth it to even try to network with those people because they would never because it's just gonna be so painful when they say who are you man like who you like you're nobody and so and so we never get traction because we're afraid to get the rejection kind of networking with the people that we really need to be networking with to get our purpose fulfilled such what purpose oh that's too specific cuz every one of us would everyone of us based on our special purpose there's gonna be networking with a totally different person don't nipping people what's that well you first have to find your purpose once you know your purpose that people come you know who your people are how do you find your purpose that's not for this class right now but they but there's a
