0:37When someone goes through the damaged but not destroyed path and they start facing their traumas or things from their past, they start facing it as opposed to running from it. Yeah. And they start to feel a sense of inner triumph. They start to feel a sense of peace. They start to feel a sense of harmony. They start to feel like they're full authentic selves. Yeah, yeah. And maybe they've gotten out of a couple of bad relationships. And now they did this work because they realized that I'm part of the problem. I am the problem, right? I'm in all these relationships. I'm the only one that keep going to the relationships.

1:09And they've taken this time and they've reflected. And now they start going on some dates. They start having some fun. They start connecting with people. They start meeting people. How do they know when they're choosing the right partner for them? So now you asking a real big question. It depends on where you feel your purpose is. You do not pick partnerships based on pleasure. You pick partnerships based on purpose. And I think that's where a lot of people get messed up. There are a lot of people you can be compatible with, but they're not going in the same direction as you. If me and you were to say right now, let's go to Disney World.

1:47There are probably 15 different paths to get there. like and there are some people that are like well let me stop way over here and let me go over here but if we were riding in the same car together we would have to go on the same road on the same highway getting to the same place because our purpose was to go to this destination i think a big part um of my burden for our generation when it comes to business partnerships relationships all those things is to pick partners for purpose, not just for pleasure. Yes. Because the pleasure wears off when you get in a pit, like when, when it ain't working, when we lost the money, when you used to dress up for me and now you looking like a grandma, like all of those things, that's when you have to pick partners that you remember.

2:37Why did we get together? What was the purpose of this? What did we say we were going to do? And so a lot of times, um, when people are starting to date and have fun and do all the different things they're not thinking purpose and it's hard to think purpose when you have not spent enough time with yourself personally that's true so because you don't know like the only way again congratulations to you and your beautiful fiance but part of the reason y 'all connect is because of where y 'all both want to collectively go 100 if she wanted to be uh in a different country as a scuba diver instructor and and you knew you were supposed to be here doing this, it would, it would conflict with what you could do together.

3:19Yeah. And maybe you could be in a relationship for a while. And then you start saying, Hey, I miss you. And she was like, well, the fish, I love the fish. Like, and I'm being very sarcastic. But what I'm saying is that is what a lot of our relationships look like. It's like the sex is bomb. We connect physically, but our purposes don't align. And so, and it sexual chemistry or connection all by itself. That's not that that never has worked. If that worked, all relationships will be together. Like the truth of the matter, there will be no divorce. And that's why I say, again, in relationship goals, like there is a formula that are in a pattern that I believe that has been set out that has worked from generation to generation to generation, that if you get the right relationships right first, if you get the relationship right with yourself, the relationship right with God, and then you can get the relationship right with, with somebody else.

4:16Then that pattern takes you to where you need to be. What I'm hearing you say is that when you're in alignment with your higher purpose, and when you're in alignment with your own individual purpose of who you are, you'll start to align with someone else and you'll start to see, okay, we're on the right track together. And maybe you like different things, but we have a similar idea about a vision and a value system for our life. And then what happens is the most magical part. Tell me. Is that you guys make each other better.
