We've all felt the sting of harsh words or the soothing comfort of kind ones, haven't we? Lisa and Caleb take us on an intimate journey through their personal lives, revealing how they've harnessed the power of words to fortify their relationships.

Feel free to ask us you questions at MyFellowHumansPodcast@gmail.com
We love y'all and hope you guys are doing amazing!
Our words to other people build other people up. They don't just create the world around us, but they have the capacity to tear down or build up. They are incredibly powerful and we should use that for good, and other people's words affect us deeply.
Speaker 2:What is up? Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the my Fellow Humans podcast episode. I believe, if I'm correct, it's the 24th episode. But anyway, what do you guys have to say?
Speaker 3:Oh, that's cool, dude. Did you know? Most podcasts like 80% of podcasts don't make it past 10 episodes.
Speaker 2:Yeah, bro, it's actually crazy.
Speaker 3:And then it goes up to, like the next tier, which they don't make it up to 50 episodes and then 100.
Speaker 2:So yeah, Correction is that it is episode 24.
Speaker 3:I was right, yeah, no correction here.
Speaker 2:No correction needed. So dude, yeah, I have heard about that statistic. I heard it's less than whatever percentage you said. It was like 90% fail on 10 episodes and then if you go over a hundred episodes, you're in the top 1% of podcasters You're not crazy. It's just because nobody can keep going with something and honestly, there's no consistency.
Speaker 3:That's why only 2% have consistency.
Speaker 2:And honestly, bro, even in my normal life, consistency is hard, bro. Honestly, I keep ending up starting things and I don't finish them. So I'm going to try to start working on that for you soon here.
Speaker 3:I was listening to a podcast and he was quoting his favorite writer, Stephen King, which I don't like his stuff.
Speaker 2:I was going to say I was like Stephen King is your favorite writer, bro. No, no, no.
Speaker 3:But he is a good writer. There's a reason why he's famous.
Speaker 2:Well, that's true, but I'm not a big fan of horror stuff.
Speaker 3:Anyways, he said it's writing is like climbing up a hill, and each time the closer you get to the top, you're adding rocks to your bag, and that's how writing feels like.
Speaker 1:I heard you have a special guest on today.
Speaker 2:So, Whoa, what was that voice? We haven't had that one in a while. Hello, yes, my name is Lisa. Welcome back to the show. What happened to you?
Speaker 1:I don't know. I dropped off the side of the earth. She's straight up ditch. We don't believe in Earth is flat theory.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she did in fact go to Berlin, but we don't believe the earth is flat, but she somehow fell off it.
Speaker 1:So Hello, we also have another special guest.
Speaker 2:All right, you're not a special guest, but welcome back.
Speaker 3:Hello, it's OK, you're special to me.
Speaker 1:Jaden.
Speaker 4:That's me.
Speaker 1:Let's go for Jaden Rose.
Speaker 4:Thank you.
Speaker 1:Thank you, hello everybody. Round of applause. Yes sir, hey guys, so I am really happy to back. I'm stoked to be back. I enjoyed Berlin. It was amazing to experience different cultures and see history. Got to go to a concentration camp, saw the Berlin Wall crazy, amazing reminders of what not to do, honestly hey, I just want to say this is a really, really big sideline.
Speaker 2:Yeah, sidebar.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But a lot of things can be avoided. If you just look at what happened in the past or history, you know generally. That's why history is recorded so that the same things don't happen. And in even bigger sidebar there was a giant fire back. I forget what year it will happen, but the great library is caught on fire and if it didn't catch on fire we'd have had a lot more history than we do now.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, for sure. Anyway, that is really sad. I know right what.
Speaker 2:We lost. I think it was like a. I think people say it was a thousand years of history just because it caught on fire.
Speaker 3:That's why we need digital and physical.
Speaker 2:Well, I mean, this was before. This is like ancient, ancient history was lost because of it.
Speaker 3:Wait, it lost in a fire. How did someone light it on fire? We?
Speaker 2:don't know, but it was an ancient library.
Speaker 3:It was a great library. We don't know. Somebody lit it on fire.
Speaker 2:Anyway, guys, welcome to the my Fellow Humans podcast.
Speaker 3:That should be an accurate bag.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because that might have been memorized for setting the great library on fire.
Speaker 3:I have set humans back thousands of years.
Speaker 1:So our topic today, guys, I'm going to put us on track.
Speaker 2:We had the more about us section. Ok. Oh wait, what have you been up to? I feel like we just did more about us.
Speaker 4:No, this is introduction. I just got back from Berlin.
Speaker 2:That's my Moabadus, and you went to a concentration camp. You didn't get, never mind. Next point Jaden what.
Speaker 1:More about you. What's been going on for you? What are you doing? Work, work, work, work work.
Speaker 4:Just been working, but I went to the former concert making this out like sitting. It was so much fun. What was your? Favorite part Get off me girl Probably dancing with my mom and my dad. That was really fun. Watching my mom and dad dance too was really cute, and getting to see my sister-in-law get to like have fun and party, because she's just been doing mom life, you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, what about her being sick?
Speaker 4:Yeah, so she was able to chill out. Cool, it was cool.
Speaker 1:Ben, what about?
Speaker 3:me what's been up.
Speaker 3:I know, work, work, work, work, work no not as much as Jaden, but working on my dreams. You know, yeah, I was really depressed a couple of days ago and Jaden was like, just do more work. And I was like I will not go back to work. And so I said, you know, maybe she's right. So I started just working on my dreams, like more Spanish, more writing, more progressive to your dreams, because writing is like. You know, I have a lot of rocks in my bag, so I have my next book on its way.
Speaker 3:I have illustrations coming up here pretty soon. I actually what was that? Third party that was the term Exported their work or whatever. You know. I had somebody else do it, it is fine. Oh you.
Speaker 2:what is it called you delegated work? I guess that's another way to put it, but I know that's not the word you're trying to say.
Speaker 1:That's cool, Ben. I can't wait till that comes out we can announce it here.
Speaker 3:Yes, I'm really excited the lady I was working with. I was getting a little frustrated with her, but then I realized she's not in the US. That's why so, because I did it on Fiverr, by the way, which is great, but she did a good job. It just she speaks two languages.
Speaker 2:No, english is not her first, and so I will say, though, a lot of the time the reason they do Fiverr and American dollars is because our money is still a lot worth, quite a bit more, than most other currencies.
Speaker 3:Which was crazy, because I was like what I would get out was only for like you know 150 bucks and I'm like this is crazy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and so some people like they're paying you 150 bucks and that might be like. I know in the Philippines a lot of people do like side work for the Philippines and they they'll give them maybe like five or 10 bucks an hour and to us that doesn't seem like much, but that's to them that's a living wage that pays for their entire family to live. Yeah, it was crazy.
Speaker 3:Because the lady I was just like she's like I'll give you your 36 pages of illustrations and I'm going to format it for you, for KDP and I'm like for 150 bucks, like that's crazy, let's get it and formats. But that's when I found out that she's not from America. Yeah, that's cool, which was really cool either way, and because, like I would kind of like she would message me and I'll be like she's just like poor customer service. No, she just doesn't speak English.
Speaker 3:That's not her first language, so she was like I have something to tell you, like, okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so but, it's really good though.
Speaker 3:It's a good experience. I'm learning um, which is, you know, learning how to deal with with with an editor, which is really cool, or illustrator, which is really cool. So, cool.
Speaker 1:So, okay, cool. What about you, Josiah?
Speaker 2:What about me Throwing the question to you? Nothing's been happening, bro.
Speaker 1:Oh, come on, we all had to answer.
Speaker 2:You have to answer. Look at you you're jacked.
Speaker 4:Oh, I'm literally jacked I hear the new Hugh Jackman, but Joe Jackman, that's true, I haven't been going to the gym.
Speaker 2:Um, physical health is really important. So kind of got back from Europe and decided, you know, maybe I should uh work a little bit more on my health. And so I decided to start going to the gym and uh, yeah, getting things are going up. Uh, max wise, so good. My goal is to just I mean, honestly, I'm not going to like impress anybody, I just want to lift heavy weight. And so I just want to like squire 800 pounds oh my gosh. Bench press 400. It's just one of those things that's like be careful.
Speaker 2:Yeah, of course You're going to have a spotter.
Speaker 1:Crazy.
Speaker 2:Or multiple when I get there, but anyway.
Speaker 1:So, according to our topic today, Josiah yeah um, we're talking about the power of words and how words matter and create worlds.
Speaker 2:I just want to start that off. You know I can start that off and being like in the gym, you'll hear so many people will be in like get one more rep or two more reps. You know what I'm saying, and so here's the thing is but those words motivate people a lot. And so and and this is kind of like a sidebar, not exactly what we're going to be talking about today, but it kind of relates in the sense that, uh, saying words, no, it's, it's it technically goes long.
Speaker 2:Whatever All right Mars Quiet now.
Speaker 1:I'll allow it.
Speaker 3:But anyway somebody somebody tells you for bars Shut your dumb, sorry, sorry.
Speaker 1:We are teaching people how to be.
Speaker 2:Nice Treating their fellow humans. Hello, I'm trying to give them examples of what not to do. Okay, good job.
Speaker 3:He's excelling in that area. All right, cyber number of 25.
Speaker 1:How about?
Speaker 2:you guys stop saying sidebar. Okay, they just know. This is the point. I'm going to and you guys cut me off. Okay, Straight bar. I'll give you three bars. All right, when you go to the gym and you're you're going to do some reps and you have a gym partner, let's say for me it's my brother.
Speaker 1:Your bro.
Speaker 3:He says my brother Caleb and little bro, and so he will, he will.
Speaker 2:uh, I don't like getting snapped, but he will uh, he'll come up to you and be like you could do it. Let's go. He's very light weight. He's very encouraging. Um, he doesn't do that much to me. He does that to other people, though. Well, yeah, we don't like it yeah but he'll say that and it's like you know you, for some reason it just makes the way easier. No, no, doesn't make any sense, but it also motivates what's called lifting makes you push harder, and so anyway.
Speaker 1:I agree, words are powerful. Words are powerful not just from you, but from others, because I'm thinking of Caleb. To like, I did a dry try with orange three what's? A dry try it's where you do. So normally, a triathlon involves water running bike.
Speaker 1:Oh, so this is a dry try, so it's on land, so it's a treadmill, rowing, a rower machine, and then weight exercises and stuff. And so he, he was there with me because I was like I don't want to be the last person and I ended up finishing second because he was just right there with me. Come on, mom, you can do this, you can do this, you can do this. And then another time we were on, we were at Bryce Canyon, and there was still snow everywhere and we went I think what is a trail that we shouldn't have been on, although lots of people were on it and literally it was on the side of the mountain. Oh, and it was crazy, I remember this she told me about it.
Speaker 1:I was so scared and Caleb just got behind me and was like you can do this, mom that he was just saying things to encourage me and because you're the only way.
Speaker 1:So it's not about Caleb but the re what I agree with what you're saying, like In relationships and just in general, in general life, it's not just our words that affect, you know, our world and our life, which I'm sure we'll talk about that but our words to other people build other people up. They don't just create the world around us, but they have the capacity to tear down or build up.
Speaker 2:They are incredibly powerful and we should use that for good and other people's words that affect us deeply and yeah, today, even just today, I had a discussion with somebody from my church, one of the leadership, and it was a really good conversation because we both were on the same page.
Speaker 2:It was kind of us both apologizing because it was a miscommunication for the beginning of service. We both were like we both got frustrated at each other because we were just like we did totally miscommunication at the beginning. Yeah, and so we came together afterward and we just were like we both apologized. And now also is just a really good time because for me, I'm an over thinker and she, this person, started just encouraging and I started encouraging back as well and just like, instead of having this wedge being drawn between us, we instead came together, started using the power of words and just, instead of driving the wedge further into each other and just growing apart, connection was had and we both just I feel like we both grew in connection together and so it just improves that relationship more so.
Speaker 4:That's right.
Speaker 2:And it also makes you like feel very encouraged that you know, just because I we both have a misunderstanding doesn't mean this relationship is going to end one way or another anyway.
Speaker 1:Right. But, that's the power of words.
Speaker 2:It also makes you want to try harder to next time.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:To call those things out sooner and also to try harder in relationship to make sure this relationship lasts too, because it's like we're both putting in effort and we both use our words, and we both, you know especially relationships.
Speaker 1:You know there's so much warring against them, especially relationships that are important, like you know marriage relationships, friendships and you know, of course, if you've been listening to any for any length of time. You know that we're Christians. We also believe that there's a lot of war over, you know, different relationships that would be bringing glory to God or would be affecting people for the good. You know we believe there's a war with the enemy, and then he doesn't want that, and so so I think it's especially important to be careful with your words and to use your words and to communicate in ways that build up.
Speaker 1:So Ben what, when you had this idea of doing this topic? What else were you thinking as far as like words and the power to create worlds?
Speaker 3:Well, okay. So here my thought process is kind of what driven me into writing even deeper, or my passion for it would be. There's quotes that humans say and they pass it on. You know, like you know, you have like newer quotes like oh, what a homie. For example, you didn't know that. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so sidebar number a 300. Oh my god, ben was like I told him something and he goes no way. Actually, it was about you, josiah.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Because you're giving up your home for two weeks for somebody that we know. And Ben was like no way, what a homie. And I'm like homie. What do you mean by that?
Speaker 2:And he's like you know homie meant.
Speaker 1:No, I know dog does homie, don't play this, I know that. And homie the clown, don't mess around. You know.
Speaker 2:That's from in living color that's pre homey the clown, that's pre 2000s and I was born 2000s. All right, whatever, maybe, so yeah.
Speaker 1:Look it up, guys, young guns, yeah, homie don't mess around. Yeah, okay, so yeah, cook, so continue. Sidebar back, back on track.
Speaker 3:Oh, there's things that humans do that kind of stick and I, like, was thinking about words mean something and there's a reason why they stick.
Speaker 3:So I was just like you know trying to explain why it's be like some cliche, that's like only you can be you and you are the one that can change the world, type of thing. Right, and I was like, well, it's pretty interesting. I was driving for to my route and I was thinking about this. So this specific topic would be I, you know, when we mean world, you know we think of the planet and we think of like, but then you think of like you zoom in on the plan, you see the land and there's different people and how we live in two different worlds on one world. So it's like world has like a different meaning each time. And then you have like, zooming in even more, each individual person is in their own world, their own experience. So I was like World's create that you know you affect three different types of worlds with your words.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so that was kind of like my thing. Yeah, and so you know people want to change the world as a whole. But like, what about if you just change somebody's world? Yeah, you know. So, yeah, that was kind of the topic of it. I know Jayden, she deals with a lot of people and customer service, so let's leak into our next point. How does words affect you for the better or positive or worse, for better or for worse. How do words affect you and what's the result of that?
Speaker 4:Well, like I'm a really sensitive person, no way Wow.
Speaker 3:This is news to us, so why don't you share this on our wedding day?
Speaker 4:No, so I am affected by people's town and the way they express words. So, like I was on the phone with a customer yesterday or the day before and they I was trying to explain something to them and they got mad at me and they were using like a harsher tone. They're like well, you, you did this to me. And I was like no, like you can't talk to me that way and, first of all, that's not how it works. And I was like I just told you, like what the problem was. And she was like you don't have to get all upset with me. And I was like ma'am, I'm me, I'm meeting you where you're at. This is how you were talking to me. And she was like oh, okay, and so then we like came to a conclusion with the problem and she apologized to me and she was like I'm sorry for getting like snippy with you.
Speaker 3:And I was like I'm sorry too, Like you know, but like Because you're shocking, because most people are like you know, one star, one star. I need to see a manager right now.
Speaker 4:And so, like that was a good resolution to the problem. You know, but, like, words really deeply affect me, but especially the tone and how it is conveyed, and that's a problem with, like you know, online conversations, whether you're texting someone or whatever. I like to use lots of emojis and stuff so I can be like I'm happy telling you this? Yeah, I'm not a true or something you know?
Speaker 1:that's really good.
Speaker 4:What was the question?
Speaker 3:No, that was a pretty good answer. No, I think it's a great answer.
Speaker 1:I think you know, following up on what she said, like I think she's exactly right. It's not just you know the literal words, those are powerful, we know that words are powerful, like there are, so we can, we can. We probably talked about this. There are many studies that show if you even speak to a plant you know, let alone an animal, let alone a human, but plants, just plants. If you speak negatively to the plants, they die. They will die and not grow or their growth will be strunged.
Speaker 1:To the plants that you say life giving things. It's crazy, the things that you speak kindly over those plants in life, like you're so beautiful and look how green you are, and you know you speak life around them, they literally grow better, they're bigger and fuller. So if words can do that to a plant you think of, to an animal, like an animal senses, when you speak nicely or not to a human, of course it would follow that, even to a greater measure, that we would be deeply impacted by words alone. But add on top of that the, the tone and the place from which it comes. Thanks, jaden, she just gave us all waters. That makes such a big difference to like the tone.
Speaker 1:And to your point, then that creates a world, because it creates either a toxic world or a healthy world. And then also, when you're faced with somebody who's coming at you with a toxic world and that's the world they're creating you do have an opportunity as an adult to say no, we're going to create. This is the world that I live in. I choose to have a healthy world. You can either come up to my point of health, but I'm not going to come to your toxic world. So when you're aware of it and when you're an adult, you can do that as children. And if you're caught up in your own toxicity, then oftentimes you fall into the cycle of that toxic world. Do you got?
Speaker 2:anything to say, sarah. I mean, all I got to say is I'm not, I don't, I'm going to play devil's advocate. I don't what. I don't want everybody being all bubbly and oh, everything's great, perfect, you're amazing.
Speaker 1:Who said you have to be bubbly?
Speaker 2:Oh hear me out, I'm just.
Speaker 1:I'm your mom, I don't care.
Speaker 2:I love you mom.
Speaker 4:But I'm saying I don't.
Speaker 2:I don't want everybody to be super bubbly around me because I don't. I think that's like sometimes I can actually do harm to people and, like you're saying, words have the the ability to create worlds. I think a lot of the time, people have to be told the truth, and sometimes the truth is not always super nice, and so I was on the way here actually to record this podcast, I was listening to this guy. His name is Alex Harmonze and he's a very he's a very successful person, but he has like a very, almost depressed outlook on life.
Speaker 2:He does not, because I mean honestly, I think it's helpful to a lot of people. It's just like luck is not on your side, nobody's on, nobody's going to come help you, nobody's going to come save you, and so real, and I think a lot of the time that can actually help people because, like, oh, I'm actually responsible for myself. I need to create solutions myself.
Speaker 2:And I think a lot of the time when we just get a lot of this positive oh you're great, You're doing just fine. No, tell me what I'm doing wrong so I can improve. You know, and you can do that in love and in life, in a way that's positive in in a way that's like oh, you're growing, great job.
Speaker 2:I think one more thing that you could do is you could probably add a semi colon to the end of your code to make it more readable. That does happen. I am a software engineer. It does happen.
Speaker 3:You miss.
Speaker 2:Mr Semi colon, Can you put a couple of spaces here? Everybody thinks like my job is oh, you just solved problem. No, dude, it's like fixing spacing errors and stuff, but anyway so I couldn't do that job. It's like creating worlds with words isn't have to be bubbly and nice all the time. No, it can also be an improvement and in love saying things that help people be better.
Speaker 1:I agree with you. I don't think you're really playing devil's advocate. I think you're just saying reiterating.
Speaker 2:I just want people not to. We're just adding another side. I just don't want people to go and be like oh yeah, you're so great.
Speaker 1:You just yobbed the shiz out of me and so I'm just going to be so happy. You're amazing. Okay, but that's not what Jayden did, no.
Speaker 4:I know.
Speaker 1:For example, jayden said hey, listen, I'm meeting you where you're at because you're being rude. Essentially, yeah, she did, I'm not going to take it. Yeah, hey there, we just wanted to ask you, please, could you like rate, subscribe and share, share, share the heck out of this podcast. We would really appreciate that and rate us. And, of course, if you have any comments, please comment. We would love to get feedback and interaction with you. Thanks so much for listening.
Speaker 4:I hung up on people before because they were screaming at me over the phone. I was like, if you're going to keep screaming at me, I'm going to hang up on you. And they were like ah. And so I hung up on them and then they called back and they're like why did you hang up on me? And they're like because I told you I wouldn't speak to you if you weren't going to be in time to me because you can't help people Like there's a difference between like hey, I have this problem.
Speaker 4:We need solutions or we need to work it out.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 4:But you don't have to scream all the time, which I mean sometimes we lose our tempers, you know, and things like that happen.
Speaker 3:Right. But the hang up is a good reset, Like, yeah, it's kind of like putting yourself your emotions and time out yeah.
Speaker 4:And so.
Speaker 3:I guess, we, we, we have to keep control of our motion, not our motion.
Speaker 2:Yeah, taking control anyway, this episode is not about emotions, unfortunately, but how so? How do words create worlds other than they can help plants grow? And Sorry, they do they actually. That's a proven study. They do as long with like a bunch of different things to that were really cool about plants, but it also helps humans as well.
Speaker 3:No take take, take, you know, movies, books, plot lines, history, all that that's creating history is creating a world that has been created but experienced in the present. You know, experiencing the past in the present. Through Whatever point of view, the victor typically is the one who gets the right history. So yeah, that's true. So that'd be one way. Words are just sound, manipulated, so it'd be kind of interesting, because God created the world through words. So what? I wonder what his Language or sound would been have been, which would be really interesting.
Speaker 3:But that's that's why they're so impactful, because they created he created everything through words. Yeah so when you read a book that's words.
Speaker 1:I know it takes you to a world takes another world.
Speaker 3:Yeah. Your imagination is sparked here is is yeah, like, hey, welcome back to the real world, right? Yeah, implying that you're in another world, right?
Speaker 2:So I just want to add this point. So there's this thing called whether you believe it or not, it does help. I have personal experience but there's this thing called so. So it's like inner healing type of things, and A lot of the time you'll be doing, a lot of I, you'll be speaking, and it's it's you with, with God. Obviously it's a Christian thing. You, you talk to God and have this conversation and it's the action of you literally saying things and using your words to express different things and to Open door, ask God to open doors. You're literally closing doors, and not literally, but spiritually and emotionally, and then you're also just like Using your words to do a bunch of different actions that lead to your Healing. Internal healing, yeah.
Speaker 1:I think what you're kind of saying is is we will because I operate in this do a lot of work with people and inner healing, and a key component is actually a lot of people will Be like I've already forgiven that person or whatever, and we honor that. But it's also coming up, like they're bringing it up and God's highlighting it so clearly. There's a piece of that at least that's unresolved, and so we'll often have people verbally say, for instance, I forgive or I break that connection with that person or Whatever it is. You know, I I no longer Agree with what my generations have done for years. I agree with what God says over me, or what you know, this truth over my life that I'm believing, for Whatever it is, you know. And so there's something about speaking that it just it does.
Speaker 1:I mean sound is powerful, like there's a lot of stuff, even about frequencies we're learning a lot with, because we're musicians, that Frequencies, different frequencies, release I mean you can feel it energy, different types of energy. Yeah, you know, people put their new age spin on it, but that's just been from the Lord. It, it's it, just it'll literally. There's even music that you can listen to the people who have Like bipolar. If you listen to, it's called bilateral stimulation. The different the tones in the music will cause the brain to connect.
Speaker 3:It's just so word sound has so much Effect on you, physically, emotionally, spiritually, yeah it's kind of weird to think that vibrations was the the creation of the world, in a sense right and so it's just really weird. There's, there's something, I was gonna say it like. It's just sound, and when you grow up, learning a language or whatever, you're manipulating that, that vibration to become Recognizable with what you're thinking that, and then your brain says oh, so that color brown means it's you know this, so and so, or whatever, right.
Speaker 3:It's like a kind of really fascinating. You think about it Like to me, it just blows my mind. I'm just like God is so simple but yet he is so complex with what he. I mean he's infinite, but like he made it so simple, it's not rocket science.
Speaker 2:So, yeah it's pretty cool I would like to say so when you're, when we say you like your words are creating worlds. There's like this flow that I think of, when we're gonna focus on the first half of it, but there's like a whole flow to it. Maybe we'll talk about it some other day, but it's say it till you fake it, and then fake it till you become it, and so it's. It's just that first part of saying it Until you fake it, and pretty much when you say something, it forces your mind to start thinking about it more. Let's just say person that has a lot of negative self-talk, oh I'm, I'm that, I'm, I'm this, I'm that, I'm really bad at this. You're gonna start believing that at some point you're gonna start they call that making it like a feeling yeah essentially.
Speaker 2:And then so I've noticed this with myself. Even when I Was applying for jobs, I was like man, I'm gonna become a web developer. So you just start saying that and you just start, even though you don't believe it worth. Jack, in your mind, in your heart, it's like okay, we're gonna keep saying it I'm. Or for you, ben, it's like I'm a writer, I'm a best-selling author. You don't have to be right now, but at some point that self-fulfilling prophecy has to come true, because I've said enough times, I've just becoming it which is so clearly say that cuz good the bed, the best-selling author.
Speaker 3:because I was talking, I was at work, I was talking on the phone and I just sold another copy of my book, let's get it. And Cuz he had like little kids and stuff and he was like I'll be so cool If you became like a best-all, like best-selling author, and I was like cool, see, so now him, you know, using his words to build me up was like okay, I'm actually.
Speaker 2:Yeah, this is really cool and I also will say that when you start saying something about yourself, and Even if it's behind closed doors, let's say, for me, I've started saying a little bit more like man, I'm pretty decent at piano and so I start, or drums or whatnot, like because before I thought I was the most Garbage, because I mean like I wasn't bad. I wasn't bad, but I'm not great, and so. But I've become a lot better and it's just like you know, after I've started saying having a lot more positive self-talk, it's like you can just notice how many people are like man, you're doing really good up there. I'm like, obviously, glory to God and thank you.
Speaker 1:So it's like yeah, I think it was interesting because we were our pastor today said your thoughts become your words, your words become your habit.
Speaker 2:Be become your habits and your habits become seasons. And what does season become?
Speaker 1:Well, it can become a lifetime if you let it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, then your chapters, become the book of your life right.
Speaker 1:And so so essentially, Like what you think is what you're gonna say. What you say is what are gonna be your habits. What your habit is gonna be your actions, and it's gonna be your habits and your habits. Then you're in a season. You're thinking why am I in the season? Or whatever. It's because you've been thinking, speaking, doing and it's led you to the season. You can stay there for a long time if you're, if you don't Change what you're thinking, that leads to your words, that then leads to your world essentially.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean your past actions have gotten to your present.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Your present self now.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah, cuz your brain makes neural pathways. Yeah, so when you're depressed, your brain makes these pathways. And you know, when I was on Kepprox I had a seizure. I Became depressed, which I didn't know. That was a side effect of the Keppro right, and I was like I, I Don't want to be here anymore. Like why am I here? And To change those neural pathways, because my brain started thinking this way. I had to. Well, what I chose to do was I got a book and I wrote in it, and I wrote an Affirmation, which I suggest you do this if you have depressed thoughts or if you have negative Self-taught. Good is when you think I don't want to be here anymore. You write down your affirmation. Mine was my God is good, my life is good, and you can write whatever you want. You can say my life matters, yeah or which it does.
Speaker 4:Or I'm gonna make it through whatever I'm going through. You can write that, yeah, and you just gotta do that. Every time you think those negative thoughts, it might be like, oh, I'm working, I can't write this down. Well, sometimes I'm mental no just say it in your hand, you know.
Speaker 1:I'm good.
Speaker 4:It's hard because you have to catch yourself doing these things, but once you do, you make new neural pathways, so then it's easier to think this way, in a positive way to, and so basically you're changing your world. That's right, oh yep you know you're living in this old world. You can make yourself a new world, Yep.
Speaker 3:The hardest thing for the human mind is change, because we can never comprehend it, because we know that it's an imbeddable, but it is hard to Go with it Because we your brain is so good at building habits of what we do know, you know, and we live that out, but the problem is, as we get bored or whatever, and so that's the sign that we are made for something continued growth.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there's two things that I kind of want to say about that. One is your thoughts that are not that you're not thinking about do leads to your words. They lead to your actions, your habits, your seasons, the book of your life, right, yeah, so it's important to be aware of what you're thinking so that you can have those thoughts, and I think it's really important that. What Jaden said too, is when you, when you're not nest, when there's a dissidence Within, and what that means is when there's this discord inside of you and a Something that believes one way and the other does a belief.
Speaker 1:Just speaking things.
Speaker 1:It can change your world because it is powerful and Often, but what really matters, what would really is powerful is when your heart and and your brain are in alignment and there's no discord and dissidents, when they are in agreement and you're speaking from that place of belief, and so that just that makes all the difference in the world, because you can speak things and not really believe them yourself. Your words are still going to impact things, but when there's that agreement, then you don't have this conflict inside of you. So it's important to be aware of your thoughts and then, when you aren't thinking the kind of thoughts and you're not thinking and you have those neural pathways. I think what Jaden said is really important is that you don't have to. You're not just a victim of that. You can align your belief system with your words by taking action, because that action is going to transform your thoughts, which are going to transform your words, and then there's going to be agreement instead of just kind of like Saying it but not really believing it. Yeah, if that makes sense.
Speaker 1:Yeah the other thing I was thinking earlier. Just, we were talking about how you can change the toxicity, like if you're encountered with toxic Words or whatever. You can change that by, you know, saying hey and confronting it as as children. If you're, if you're not, if you're a child, you aren't, you're just kind of subject to your environment. So you're subject to the words and you're powerless. And sometimes we walk into adulthood Still walking in that powerlessness with other people's words towards us or our words towards others and ourselves. But it's really important that we acknowledge that we are powerful or not, we're no longer kids and deal with any trauma related to toxic environments and toxicity Words and otherwise. Today we're talking about words to realize that we aren't Just victims of what we say or what others say or any of that, that we can confront it, that we can change the neural pathways. There's hope, essentially.
Speaker 3:I mean, because what did Jesus do? Constantly pray, what?
Speaker 1:is praying do it's talking yeah to God. All right and to people and to people.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's good. So, yeah, what is your kids is final thoughts? Jane, you got any final thoughts? Oh, no, I'm lots of that, all right. Well, let's see this here. Well, are they relevant?
Speaker 4:Well, yeah, well, I was thinking of this one talk. I think it's really diggling out that didn't? And it was so cool. I had that as my brother when it was, but he had recordings like of sea life, like whales and then even the planets, yes, make noise, yep, as they spin and like go around the Sun, no. And it was so cool because he put all these sounds together and it created the melody of this like Chris Tomlin song. That's like wow, I can't remember what they saw.
Speaker 2:I heard about that. Yeah, but 10,000 reasons or something.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it was so cool though, because it was like everything.
Speaker 3:You know, really does worship God.
Speaker 1:Yeah and has a sound.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, so like everything is speaking. Yes, you just have to, you know, listen, if you agree.
Speaker 3:Yeah everything is speaking. You just have to listen. That's really good. I love that now that I'm gonna use in one of my books.
