THIS Will Change Your Life w/ Jamie Kern Lima + HUGE Announcement!!!

23:47But it's actually the thing that's right with us. Right. And I don't want to get off on a huge tangent, but like had I not embraced all the crap that was technically wrong with me, I could have never built a billion dollar company. Like rosacea is considered a flaw. It's considered something wrong with me. And it's like when I finally started to embrace it and share it and step into it. Right. That's when other people felt seen. I was like, oh, me too. And I have skin challenges or this or that or whatever. and it's like there's a whole chapter in Worthy about this idea of how you're not crazy, you're just first.

24:20I love this. You're not crazy, you're just first and oh gosh, okay, I could talk about that for hours but the lessons around this will change your life. It's why this book just came through me. I'm donating 100 % of the proceeds. I'm not even doing this to sell books but this book will change your life and I'm so fired up about it but to get real tactical, okay, back there. So we just did our new definition or sorry, your your current definition of rejection, which for me is like, oh, yep. Proof again. I'm not enough for Ed is, you know, I don't belong here. Right. And take note of what yours is that came to your mind right now.

24:56And step one of literally changing your entire life again. I believe this through my core. When you change your relationship with rejection, you change your entire life, your business, your family, your relationships, your goals and dreams. ever stepping into your calling. So I want you to come up with a new definition of rejection that you are going to believe is true and remind yourself of every time it happens. And I'm going to give you a couple examples of this. So, for example, when I went through years of hundreds and hundreds of no's and rejections building at Cosmetics, and I would sit there, Ed, and I would Google all of my greatest heroes or people I thought I had so much respect for And as I would read their stories, I'm like, oh, they've all gone through tons of rejections in their life.

25:45Right. Every single one of them. Right. And I came to this realization that the people who succeed the most are also the people who fail the most because they're the people who try the most and keep going. And so I started. Yeah. And I started telling myself this new definition of rejection, which is, oh, it's a victory. It means I'm one of the brave ones willing to go for it. Yes. And I started telling myself that every time I call a new retailer on the phone and like, oh, no, no, you're not the right fit for us or this or that or whatever. And it would hurt my feelings. It's not that I was immune to being hurt or whatever.

26:19But I'm like, oh, you know what? I'm one of the brave ones willing to go for it, which means eventually I'm going to succeed. And I started seeing rejection in this weird way as a positive thing. Another definition that I use a lot is rejection is God's protection. yes right and i use this one a lot and there are more in my own life in my own head right this something i tell myself over and over you know there's more stories than i can count where i'm like and by the way you know it's well one example is it cosmetics i mean there was one investor midway through the journey that said you know he passed on investing and i i thought we were down to almost bankrupt right we had under a thousand dollars in our account which was the company and our personal, which meant we had a few weeks left before we went bankrupt and everything was on the line.

27:07And I had this big meeting with a potential investor and, um, and you know, the story Ed, but at the end, you know, he passed on investing and I really was thinking he was going to be like my saving grace. And he said that he didn't think women would buy a makeup from someone who looked like me with my body and my weight. And it was a whole thing. And I wait a second. Hang on. Did you all just hear what she said? Okay. I want you to imagine you struggle with worthiness issues. You've been building this company forever. I just want to make sure, because I think what you're about to tell them, the belief system that you took from it, could change the world.

27:39So the first thing is, I want to go back. Yeah. Okay. You're not crazy. You're just first. I want everyone to just digest that. I want you to hear what this woman said. Who knows about this stuff? You are not crazy to be pursuing your dream. Yeah. You're just first. Yeah. And you're probably first in your family, which is why they're the ones who think you're the craziest. You need to accept this. Yeah. Okay? There's a profound, Jamie has this ability to say profound, deep things over and over again, hundreds of them. And she doesn't know. You are not crazy. You're just first. And your family's probably not going to get it.

28:14And even in your own company, maybe them, they're not going to get it. And so that's okay. The second thing is this woman's struggling with worthiness all of her life. She's getting rejected like crazy up and down. She's also struggled. One of her worthiness issues is she had rosacea. she struggled with body issues all of her life if we're going to get really real with Jamie. Okay. She's had body issues. So imagine your biggest insecurity is probably that it's physical. Okay. She's this gorgeous, you know, beautiful woman, but she doesn't know it. And so her number one insecurity is probably her body issue, at least operating out in the real world.

28:50She goes into this meeting, needing it. She's down to a grand. He not only rejects her, He says to you, I'll let you say it again. He tells her the very reason I'm rejecting you is the very thing you think about yourself the most deeply. I want you to imagine this. So go ahead. Yes. And we had gone through meeting after meeting. We went through the diligence phase. We were so close with this potential investor who was the head of a private equity company. And in the final meeting, he's actually, it was in person. So he's about three feet from me. Paula, my husband, was on the other side. And he says, you know, congratulations.

29:22congratulations, you should be so proud of this product and what you've built, but it's a no. We're going to pass on investing. And when I said, can you tell me why? It's usually feedback's a gift. And he got very quiet. And he says, you want me to be really honest with you? And I said, yes, please. And he said, I just don't think women will buy makeup from someone who looks like you with your body and your weight. And two things though, Ed, okay, because rejections and the pain that they cause can take us out. They can take us down. They can take us out. We can keep replaying them over and over and over in our heads.

29:56And by this point, I had so many rejections. This was just one that I thought was going to be my saving grace that had he said yes. And I remember after I cried in my car, I remember telling myself rejection is God's protection. And I don't know how this is going to be God's protection. I don't see it now. It doesn't make sense to me now. I needed it to be a yes now, but I'm going to choose to believe that because if I don't believe that it's going to take me down. I'm not going to get back up and keep going and embracing more rejection and more rejection and more rejection and more rejection.

30:29Right. And here's what ended up happening. I didn't hear from that guy for six years. The day that L 'Oreal bought my company for$1.2 billion cash, because they are a public company, it was all over the press, right? Homepage of the wall street journal everywhere. where that was the first time I heard from that potential. Yeah, in six years, he said, congratulations on the L 'Oreal deal. I was wrong. Gosh. And what I wanted to say to him, Ed, was, do you remember, did you ever see Pretty Woman? Yes, because the character's Edward. Of course I saw Pretty Woman. I love that movie. So when they wouldn't help her in the store, and then she goes back later, what I wanted to say to him was, big mistake.

31:10Huge, huge. Huge. I can give you 1.2 billion reasons why it was a huge mistake. But I kept it classy. I didn't say that. But here's my point in this. Had he invested, it would have been the most successful investment in his firm's history. But guess what? I was so desperate at the time, Ed. We probably would have given the majority of the company for almost no money, right? Because he didn't believe in me, when we sold to L 'Oreal, I was the largest shareholder. So it's like rejection is God's protection. And sometimes we don't see it when it happens. So that's one. Can we say something on that too?

31:47Okay. So because her and I talk about these things all of the time. First of all, it's one of the most unbelievable stories ever. And I've heard it many times. A few weeks ago, I went to watch Jamie speak. I'm in the front row. Obviously, I'm rooting for my friend. But I got emotional again. I started crying again. And actually right now, if I'm not careful, I will. Because I'm picturing this woman who all of her life has struggled with worthiness. and then have someone hit you right where he's hit. But rejection is God's protection, is one of the fundamental beliefs I've never heard said before, that if you adapt and adopt that belief in your life, it will change your life.

32:24Here's how much your relationship with rejection matters. My children, both, you get that stage, you know Max and Bella. Both of them are, you know, hey, they're in college, you're getting ready for their careers, and Max's son said, maybe I'll follow in your footsteps, dad, get into sales in the beginning. And I said, Max, the whole key, if you're going to go into business for yourself, is your ability to deal with rejection. It's the number one thing. Can you deal with rejection? And what's the story you tell yourself? Because it's not the stories of our life, the events of our life that define it.

32:51It's the meaning we attach to it. Our friend Earl McManus had a great post I saw today, by the way, Jamie, where he said, emotions only store in our body when they're attached to a story. So if there's no story, you've had a lot of emotions in your life that don't stick because you didn't attach a story to it. But when you attach a story to it, so that story you tell yourself. So you take it a step further. This is an all-time moment on podcast she's about to give you, just so you know, guys. Okay. So not only is rejection God's protection, but what else did you eventually uncover that you realized about what God was doing on your behalf in that rejection in terms of hiding something from him?

33:27Yes. You guys, listen. Your life's about to change in this next one minute right here, because if you can adapt this true belief system. It's not only a belief, it's a truth about your life. Your life's about to be very different, including mine the first time I heard it. So go for it. Yeah. If you're someone that, you know, you are holding onto pain from a past relationship, a past failure, mistakes that you've made, someone who did you wrong, somebody, the job you didn't get, the thing that's not going your way, whatever it might be, the partner that screwed you over, whatever it is, right? This definition of rejection is probably the most common one I applied in my life right now, every single, almost every single day, Ed, because sometimes, you know what?

34:08A friend doesn't invite you to coffee or include you in a group and it, it, it hurts your feelings, right? Whatever it might be. Um, this is now what I believe, um, most commonly when rejection happens in my life, I imagine my creator, God saying, Oh, no, no, no. You weren't rejected. I hid your value from them because they're not assigned to your destiny. And I believe that, right? When things don't go my way right now, when someone, you know, doesn't give me the thing or want me there or include me in the room, whatever it might be, or doesn't get me for some reason, you know, have you ever tried to make someone just, you want to connect with them so bad, you want them to like you and they just don't.

34:53Whatever it might be, I believe this through my core and it has changed my life that I always now hear God saying to me, oh, no, no, you're not rejected. You weren't rejected. I hid your value from them because they're not assigned to your destiny. It's one of the all time greatest things I've ever heard. And I wish every human being could hear it. And I hope you share this, everybody, this episode. I want my daughter to know that. I want my daughter to know it so badly that when you walk in a room and a boy doesn't notice you like you like them to, or you don't get invited to something, or you get rejected in a sale down the road in your life, or if you're in a relationship and somebody leaves you, God had started to hide your value from them.

35:33Yes. And I'm telling you at 52, and Jamie can tell you as a much younger woman than I am, but having a lot of success in her life, it is so profoundly true that that's what God's doing. He is protecting you in that moment by either hiding your value or taking the perception of your value away when they once did. And sometimes in life to get you out of a relationship or out of a company or out of a job you have and you've been fired. You've been fired. Maybe they used to value and now they don't. And God's removed that value from them to protect you. It's so beautifully true. I didn't mean to interrupt you, but I just want to say it.

36:09It's so true. Yeah. And I love what you said earlier. Share this episode with anyone who needs to hear this. How has serving people helped you? It's not in any of the things we were going to talk about, but probably more than anybody you know, and certainly in your case more than anybody I know, we're really doing whatever this is we're doing for service for you and I. Neither one of us financially have a need to do it. I gave away all the proceeds from my book. You're doing the same thing. How has service to other people changed your life or created more bliss in your own life? I just want to know that because for me, I feel the most worthy oftentimes in my life when I'm in the service of somebody else.

36:49Yes. You know, I actually feel worthy. I don't always feel worthy that I'm capable of doing it. But when I'm in the effort and attempt to serve somebody, I feel more connected with my own worth when I'm serving another person. Yeah. So, you know, in the book Worthy, there's a whole chapter on fulfillment, right? and first of all, self-worth is the most critical piece because you can do everything right. You can have self-confidence, you can be growing, you can be contributing and serving but if you don't have self-worth, you're never gonna feel truly fulfilled. So you have to have self-worth which of course the book's packed with how do you build that, right?

37:25But then you also need self-confidence and you also need growth. You need to be growing, stretching like in some area of your life and it could be simple things like growing in your faith or growing in your golf game, right? It doesn't matter what it is. You have to be growing to feel fulfilled, but you also have to be contributing, meaning doing something bigger than yourself. And a lot of people miss that. They think, oh, if I just make enough money, if I just have enough people love me on social media, if I just whatever it might be. If you are not contributing, you'll never feel that deep source of purpose and fulfillment.

37:56And two big ways on how we like, well, how do I contribute? I have nothing to offer. So many people think that. Right. And you and I have a friend, Rory, that always talks about how we're best positioned to serve the person we once were. And another way to put that is so often the pain we've gone through, the setbacks, the things that sucked. Right. It's like when we're able to then use those and help other people make them make it through the things we've gotten through. It brings a deep sense of purpose and also understanding of the cadence of the calling of our life and everything we've gone through.

38:30but also there's simple ways to give back. I mean, literally just smiling at a neighbor. I mean, it is that simple. There are people, so many people, I'm going to cry if I think about this and talk about this, but so many of us, if you make icon and Ed, you're one of the best people I've ever met at this. I feel like it's why we're so, we're such good friends. Cause we both see this and other people. You're one of the best people I've ever met at seeing other people, like truly seeing other people. Let's just be real. We both know you're the best at that. You're amazing at it. And anyone who wants to go, how do I serve?

39:08You know how you serve? Walk into the coffee shop or wherever you're at and see someone. Actually see somebody and just say hi or how are you? Or I almost guarantee you for so many people, if you walk into anywhere, any room you're in today in your life and you actually just see somebody, you're probably going to be the only person that day that sees them. You're so brilliant. You're so brilliant. So where I started practicing this was in places like coffee shops because I didn't feel worthy to do it in like business environments. So I actually practiced it like in grocery stores and coffee shops and I recommend everybody do it.

39:53And so let's just say you went to order your coffee and the barista's there. Yeah. Hey, what can I get you? Welcome. And you just take a second, and there's a pause. I do this now as who I am, but at first I had to practice. And so I would let them pause, and I'd go, Hey, how are you? And I'll just take a second. How are you today? And you look at them, and you hold the glance and actually wait for them to answer you. They feel that energy. And the first few times I did it, it was awkward. And then I went, Wow, I'm actually... I got the added bonus to my coffee today. I connected with this human being.

40:26Yes. And as I'm walking out, I felt better. I know they felt better, but I felt better. What I didn't know until I read your book is I actually felt a little bit more worthy. Yep. And then when I went into business meetings, I had a little bit more of the worthy bucket filled up. Yes. Because I did exactly, in the exact environment, you go to a cashier at a grocery store, how are you today? And you actually listen and say it a little slower. Hey, how are you? That's not the same thing as how are you? Yeah. And they feel you actually want to know when you care. Slowing your life down like that.

41:00You're like, what's that got to do with business? I don't know. Best person I know at doing that is you. You said I'm the best person you know at doing that is me. And we're two of the richest people in this entire space. So there's some correlative property to it to business as well, right? It's got to be. And two things happen. You see that other person. So now all of a sudden you're in service to something bigger than yourself. But when you see that other person and they realize it, they then see you. The moment they realize you saw them is the moment they see you. When you actually see someone else and in that moment they realize it and then they see you, you actually feel seen.

41:37And here's something that is so powerful and profound and huge when we realize we do this in our lives is so many of us. And I'm talking about no matter where you're at in your career or your goals or your ambitions or the version of success in your life that the world celebrates. Right. Whether it's having the kids in the whatever it is, no matter where you're at in that, like we are so tempted always to actually still live our lives hiding in plain sight. never actually showing who we truly are, never actually allowing our true self to be seen, right? Just showing up with the parts of us that, that the world celebrates and we start creating barriers of disconnection in our lives.

42:26But more than that, right. And we wonder why we're not fulfilled in relationships, but more than that is we create a barrier of disconnection with ourselves. We don't actually see ourselves. And, and just to give this analogy, um, for everyone listening, right for you for me for everyone everyone watching us is maybe you remember the moment as like a little kid in class and think back to when you were a little kid maybe three four five six seven eight the very first moment when you knew the answer but you decided for the first time ever not to raise your hand because you thought well what if i'm wrong what if i get made fun of?

43:06What if I no longer belong after I do that? And that is the, for so many people, the moment that self-doubt starts to set in, the moment we become aware of these things, the moment we start to start to shrink our self-worth and our self-confidence. And so that moment we start hiding in plain sight. And then what does that look like today as an adult? For a lot of people, it looks like, oh, you're on a Zoom meeting with your team and you have an idea, but you don't raise your hand. You don't share it just in case it sucks. Right. It looks like, oh, you're the boss and maybe you're crushing it and you're hitting numbers every single quarter, but you actually have some novel ideas to innovate and move your company or your industry forward, but you're not going to do them because you're scared to take a risk, right?

43:54Because you're crushing it now that is hiding in plain sight. It looks like maybe you're the extrovert that walks into the room and can entertain everyone else, but no one actually knows what you're really dealing with. Yes. Right? You're hiding in plain sight. That's the most profound thing. You said that the other day. I do feel like people hide in plain sight. Yep. By the way, ask yourself, am I doing that? Yeah. Am I playing small? Am I shrinking? Do I not raise the proverbial hand in so many moments in my life when I could step forward and take my power? And to add to that too, Ed, is when you ask yourself this, right?

44:29What are the ways you're hiding in plain sight in your life? And it might be in work. It might be in your romantic relationship. It might be in your friendships. Do you know how many people feel like they've got to play a part to fit into a friend group? But then they feel lonely because those friends actually don't know them for who they truly are. There's so many ways we're hiding in plain sight so often in our lives. And the most important thing you can do is not just identify it. And I take you through so many exercises on how to do this in Worthy. and the book coming out, which you can pre-order now and get a special live Zoom with Ed and me.

45:04If you do it. Worthybook.com forward slash Ed. That's right. And it's going to go away. So it's just, so do it now. But I go deep in this because the most important thing is not just to identify in your life, all the ways you're hiding in plain sight, all the ways that self-doubt is impacting your life, but then to identify what is hiding in plain sight already cost you in your life. What does it cost you in your goals and dreams? What does it cost you in the depth of connection you have in your relationships and in your friendships, right? What does it cost you? And then when you really go through the work of going, what will it cost you five, ten years from now if you don't change?

45:46And you start really opening your eyes. We're always wired as human beings to avoid pain. And when you really do the work here and you understand what it's going to cost you, what it has cost you, what it will cost you, that pain will be greater than the pain of, you know what? I might get rejected, people. I might lose some friends. I might be embarrassed. People might not get me, but I'm not going to hide anymore. I'm going to show up and I'm going to be seen. Like not just the parts of me I think I need to be, but like the true parts of me. I am so blessed to have friends like you who sharpen me all the time.

46:20That is so, so, so important. And also, you don't need to hold out for a hero in order to go after your dreams. It's an excuse. It's a lie. It is an indication of unworthiness to believe that we need somebody else before we're enough. Or once that person shows up and I'm married, then I'll be enough. Once I have kids in my life, then I'll be enough. Once I get that dream mentor, then my business will take off. All of it is a lie. It's a lie that leads to self-doubt. And it's why I wrote this book, because it's packed with truths that wake up worthiness. Because again, when you don't soar to the level of your hopes and dreams in life, you always will plateau at the level of your self-worth.

47:12And when you get that right, it changes everything. And by the way, I'm getting so fired up, not to like go into the personal growth world or anything, but so, so what I realized is like so much of the work you hear thought leaders doing around overcoming limiting beliefs, you know, you, you know, you might have a limiting belief that you're, you know, you'll never make a lot of money or you're too young or too old or whatever it might be. You can do all the work of overcoming those limiting beliefs, but if you do not do the work on overcoming the limiting beliefs about worthiness, it does not matter because you can accomplish everything again and go, okay, I believe I'm smart enough now.

47:50I believe all the things. Those are building your self-confidence. If you don't do that innate work of building your worthiness, then you'll sabotage all the stuff that you bring into your life. And the last thing, because we're going to run out of time, but I want to make sure they hear the great hack of the book. So there's all these micro strategies in the book that I would call, they're actually huge strategies, but for me in my life, I call them micro compared to the big one. and in the book. And by the way, she's not telling you this, but she actually considered for a while Julia Roberts' career in Pretty Woman.

48:22She's had a conversation about it. So it was probably not a very serious one, but it gets to that extent in our lives when we lack worthiness. So the great hack in your life, though, of your self-worth has been what? What's it been? This is around faith. Yeah. Yeah, it's around faith. And this is a big one. How many, and you know, this is, I think, a universal principle, Ed, no matter what faith people practice, or if you believe in the universe, whatever it is, I still think this applies to you. For me, I'm a Christian. I believe in God. And so I'm going to use this as the analogy. How many people do you know that say they believe in God, say they're Christians, they believe God's word, but then they literally struggle with self-doubt.

49:07They, they feel unqualified. They, all the things, right. They talk themselves out of their own truth and their own destiny. I think that in life, you can do all this work that's important. You can work on overcoming limiting beliefs. You can go to therapy if you're blessed enough to be able to do that. You can do all of this work on figuring out how to believe you're enough. For me, the quickest hack has been if you truly believe God's word, if you truly believe it, Right. For example, God who says, you know, you're fearfully and wonderfully made. You're made in my image. You can do all things, you know, through Christ who strengthens you.

49:47If you believe those words, but then you doubt yourself and you doubt you're enough. OK, who are you doubting? It is impossible to believe God's word and then believe you're not enough at the same time. Right. Right. You what is that old saying in Western movies? Like you can't ride two horses with one ass or something like that. It's some saying I can't remember. But it's like you didn't say it. We're using that one. You can't have one without the other. You cannot say you believe God's word, but then say, oh, I don't feel like I'm enough to walk into this room or I don't belong here or I don't have what it takes or I'm unqualified.

50:29So for me, the quickest hack is this. Anytime, and by the way, this happens to this day. Anytime I'm about to walk into a room and I start to think, oh, I don't know if I belong here. I don't know if I have what it takes. I don't know if I'm worthy of being in this room. I instantly tell myself, who am I gonna believe? My thoughts in my head or God's word? Which one? I've gotta make a decision right now. Who am I gonna put my stock in, my worth in? Who am I gonna believe, right? And for me, it's the quickest hack because I'm like, you know what? I'm going to go out in faith, right? Because self-doubt and self-belief or faith take the same amount of energy to believe in something that hasn't happened yet.

51:09So which one are you going to believe, right? So in that moment, I'm like, okay, you know what? I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Like I'm made in his image. I have everything it takes inside of me right now. I belong in this room, right? Because when I remember who's walking in that room with me and I know I'm never alone, right? It's like, oh yeah, I belong in every room. and this can come down to anything. It can be the thing right now in your life you're procrastinating on that you are doubting yourself over. Maybe right now you're listening to me and Ed and you're gonna write the first word of your book because you're gonna make the decision to stop hiding in plain sight, right?

51:42Whatever it might be, when you tell yourself, who am I gonna believe? Because so many people say they're a Christian or they believe, but then they doubt themselves out of their own destiny. So who are you believing? Because you're not believing God, right? You're believing your own thoughts. And so for me, it's the quickest hack is asking yourself in any moment, who am I doubting? Who am I really doubting? And then making the choice of who you're going to believe, your own thoughts or what God says about you. And for me, I hear him in my soul, right? In my knowing. I'm not going to trust my thoughts, which will always tell me I'm not enough.

52:19I don't have what it takes. I'm all the things, right? But in my soul, in God's word, it's like, oh, yeah, you're more than enough. I'm more than enough. Every one of us is more than enough. We're fully capable, fully qualified to walk into any room. We have what it takes. You know what I mean? And by the way, I believe when you listen to that and you walk into that room, even if it becomes a disaster, even if you fail and fall flat on your face, even if things don't go your way, I don't believe it means that that knowing is wrong. I think it means that you either learn your next lesson you needed to learn, right?

52:52Your next lesson. So it's either your next right step or it's your next right lesson. And I believe when we trust that, it's how I've gone from Denny's Waitress to building a billion dollar company to enduring hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of rejections along the way. And people not just saying you're not enough or you're not the right fit, but like not come back later. No, it's like, no, no, don't come back ever. A lot of the stores, right? But it's like believing this and believing it, making the decision, not just to believe it's possible, but to believe I'm worthy of it. And using a lot of the tools I've never shared before.

53:22They're in this book worthy for the first time ever. It is how I kept going. It's how I I I learned to believe I was worthy of some of the things that finally actually happened and then learning to enjoy them on the way. And when I taught the course, Oprah did call me the first time I called her, by the way, it went to voicemail. I was like, oh, I waited four years and went to voicemail. But but but but we did talk on the phone and and and she has called me and I had the blessing and gift and honor of teaching the life you want class alongside of her. recently on resilience. And I just, I think about the awe of what that is, but that it almost didn't happen.

54:01Unbelievable. Right? And think about the things in your life right now that if you do not change your relationship with worthiness may never happen. You're right. Right? And that is what this book is about. It's so good. And by the way, your whole life changes when you believe you're worthy. And what you just said about, I'll say two things on this, and then we'll put a bow on it. It was literally exactly what I knew we were going to do today. But my mother-in-law changed that for me. She says, Eddie, either you believe God's present in your life all the time or only some of the time. Which one is it?

54:34And I said, well, it's all of the time. And she goes, so when you give that speech that you don't believe you're worthy of, he's with you. When you walk into that meeting, he's with you. Anywhere you go, he's with you. And that's given me the comfort and the strength in my life to feel worthy. So you're 100 % right. And in those times where I have failed, and I did make a mess of it, even though he was with me, I now know from you that what he was doing in those days was collaborating with me to hide my value from them that day. And he was protecting me. And that was God's protection. Those rejections were God's protection.

55:02So many things. You're not crazy. You're just first. Rejection is God's protection. The part about him hiding our value from them until the right time or the right person is as the greatest protection of our lives. And that belief system is true. and this notion of all the different hacks, but especially the idea that if you believe in God, whatever that version is for you, is God with you all of the time or only some of the time? And you know that he's with you all of the time or she is with you depending on your belief system. So I am glad you were with me today to share this time because I know it's reverberating around the planet right now.
