Shownotes

Being able to pick up our pens to write a new change into our lives can be difficult, overwhelming, and downright frustrating. Find that effort to keep moving forward means testing ways to feel empowered to write that "new narrative", whether for personal, professional, or even organizational reasons. This episode will explore how that short burst of effort can explode into a realm of potential, even if it seems to be a bit disorganized.

Intro:

Welcome to the podcast where relationships, confidence, and

2

00:00:03,671 --> 00:00:08,111

determination all converge into

an amazing, heartfelt experience.

3

00:00:08,551 --> 00:00:10,906

This is Speaking From The Heart.

4

00:00:11,596 --> 00:00:14,676

Joshua: Welcome back to episode

number 67 of Speaking From The Heart.

5

00:00:15,096 --> 00:00:19,266

Today, we're going to challenge the

stories that we have in order to have

6

00:00:19,266 --> 00:00:25,635

a change of heart, or maybe even having

just a chance to change, and I think

7

00:00:25,646 --> 00:00:30,165

that as we even talk about this topic

as we approach the new year, I think

8

00:00:30,166 --> 00:00:34,356

it's really important to keep in mind

that change is always inevitable.

9

00:00:34,786 --> 00:00:38,476

Change is something that is always

constantly happening in our lives,

10

00:00:38,855 --> 00:00:43,816

whether they are personal, professional,

or even organizational for that matter.

11

00:00:44,296 --> 00:00:47,926

Especially as we get closer to the end

of the year, we might be evaluating

12

00:00:47,976 --> 00:00:50,966

some of the things that have been

successful and maybe some of the things

13

00:00:50,966 --> 00:00:52,886

that haven't been successful as well.

14

00:00:53,766 --> 00:00:59,555

Having people to talk to, having places

to go, and having things to do, oftentimes

15

00:00:59,555 --> 00:01:04,355

creates those opportunities in our lives

to keep moving forward; to keep testing

16

00:01:04,355 --> 00:01:08,376

the ways in which we can feel empowered

to write that new narrative in our

17

00:01:08,516 --> 00:01:13,106

lives, and I think that one of the things

that we can absolutely do right away

18

00:01:13,156 --> 00:01:18,476

in order to create that systemic change

is to listen to episode number 65 of my

19

00:01:18,476 --> 00:01:24,155

podcast in which I talk about this type

of subject of challenging our mindsets;

20

00:01:24,545 --> 00:01:28,816

to really put on the line everything

that we've been able to think about in

21

00:01:28,816 --> 00:01:31,095

order to help ourselves move forward.

22

00:01:31,626 --> 00:01:35,686

Today, I want to talk a little bit about

maybe some strategies that you can use

23

00:01:35,936 --> 00:01:38,235

to help you get started on that path.

24

00:01:39,095 --> 00:01:42,866

One of the first things that you

could absolutely do, that I have

25

00:01:42,866 --> 00:01:46,756

been finding to be very influential,

is to have a vision board.

26

00:01:47,346 --> 00:01:51,015

Now, if you've never heard of the concept

of the vision board, it might be going all

27

00:01:51,015 --> 00:01:53,386

the way back to your grade school years.

28

00:01:53,860 --> 00:01:58,881

You might have cut out some magazine

pictures, some notable quotes, maybe even

29

00:01:58,881 --> 00:02:03,791

some influential situations or events

that were happening, but they were all

30

00:02:03,791 --> 00:02:08,150

defining ways in which they were creating

some of the things that were happening

31

00:02:08,150 --> 00:02:12,991

in your young years, and I think that's

essentially what we're trying to say here.

32

00:02:13,750 --> 00:02:18,060

In your adult life, what are some of

the people, places, and things that

33

00:02:18,060 --> 00:02:22,120

are happening that might make up who

you are, and what you want to be?

34

00:02:22,991 --> 00:02:27,290

To have a vision board, though, is to

actually create not only those things

35

00:02:27,290 --> 00:02:32,550

in which we want to have, but to also

have the opportunities to be able to

36

00:02:32,550 --> 00:02:38,250

explore in the new year what we can

do and what we can become as part of

37

00:02:38,250 --> 00:02:44,045

a picture narrative, so grab those

magazines, grab those individuals, grab

38

00:02:44,045 --> 00:02:48,565

those opportunities that you might have

all around you, because we can start to

39

00:02:48,565 --> 00:02:52,875

change that story, that narrative that

we have in our lives, by just putting

40

00:02:52,875 --> 00:02:57,425

it down where we're at now and what

we want to look like in the future.

41

00:02:58,445 --> 00:03:02,215

Even though we're talking about a vision

board, which might be more personal in

42

00:03:02,215 --> 00:03:06,656

nature, what do you do when you're looking

at a professional realm or even looking

43

00:03:06,656 --> 00:03:08,446

at an organization for that matter?

44

00:03:09,096 --> 00:03:13,465

Well, it might be a little bit easier

for you to do this type of exercise

45

00:03:13,495 --> 00:03:17,615

even if you are an individual, which

is essentially writing down what are

46

00:03:17,615 --> 00:03:21,405

the things that you were able to be

successful for in one column, and

47

00:03:21,405 --> 00:03:25,665

writing down things that you weren't

so successful in, in the second column,

48

00:03:26,145 --> 00:03:30,095

so if you haven't grabbed that sheet of

paper yet, I'd encourage you to do so.

49

00:03:30,586 --> 00:03:33,936

Have that sheet of paper along with

a pen to be able to start writing

50

00:03:33,936 --> 00:03:37,506

down some of those things that you've

done, or even just bring up a Word

51

00:03:37,516 --> 00:03:39,825

document and creating a simple table.

52

00:03:40,485 --> 00:03:45,265

It has potential to really show you what

you've been able to truly achieve this

53

00:03:45,265 --> 00:03:47,704

year along with so many other things.

54

00:03:48,696 --> 00:03:52,666

If you're an person that likes to really

write about everything that you do,

55

00:03:52,916 --> 00:03:57,971

whether it's on Facebook, whether it's

on a blog post, maybe even on an old

56

00:03:57,971 --> 00:04:01,931

fashioned journal for that matter, it

might be time to start paging back through

57

00:04:01,931 --> 00:04:05,641

some of those entries that you've done

in order to create those opportunities

58

00:04:05,681 --> 00:04:07,131

that you might have for the future.

59

00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,731

Now it's all simple and maybe

easy to do to cut out pictures and

60

00:04:11,731 --> 00:04:16,130

quotes, maybe to write down certain

things, but from an organizational

61

00:04:16,130 --> 00:04:18,171

aspect, where do you even begin?

62

00:04:19,451 --> 00:04:23,981

I always think about, even as I have

reached towards the end of my first year

63

00:04:24,291 --> 00:04:29,496

being open with Your Speaking Voice LLC,

about all the things that I did very well,

64

00:04:30,056 --> 00:04:34,486

but also all the things that I didn't do

so well in, that aligned with not only

65

00:04:34,486 --> 00:04:38,826

the mission of my business, but also

the values that aligned with it as well.

66

00:04:39,586 --> 00:04:44,346

Now, in the early episodes, starting

from episode 3, I talk a lot about

67

00:04:44,346 --> 00:04:49,206

what the mission of my business is and

the values: confidence, determination,

68

00:04:49,386 --> 00:04:54,286

relationships, not particularly in that

order, in this podcast, so if you're

69

00:04:54,346 --> 00:04:58,886

interested in checking out what I talked

about in those, you can certainly review

70

00:04:59,096 --> 00:05:05,276

those episodes, but I even look at my

values and think about what are the

71

00:05:05,276 --> 00:05:10,826

things that I've done to continuously

achieve the organizational success that

72

00:05:10,826 --> 00:05:16,686

I want to see, not only in my business,

but also myself being a sole-member LLC.

73

00:05:17,736 --> 00:05:21,646

I have to keep remembering though,

that even though I'm doing things

74

00:05:21,646 --> 00:05:25,286

that are helping the business, what

are the things that I'm doing to help

75

00:05:25,286 --> 00:05:30,496

myself, and my clients, and my future

clients for that matter, to keep

76

00:05:30,536 --> 00:05:32,656

continuing to write that new narrative?

77

00:05:33,246 --> 00:05:36,846

In other words, what are some of the

offerings, or some of the things that

78

00:05:36,916 --> 00:05:42,366

I could do to change it up for the new

year, not to just change everything about

79

00:05:42,366 --> 00:05:45,506

what I've been doing because some things

might have been very good in which I

80

00:05:45,506 --> 00:05:50,666

was doing, but keeping in mind, what are

some of the things that I might be able

81

00:05:50,666 --> 00:05:53,106

to change that might make it better?

82

00:05:54,066 --> 00:05:57,976

I think we have to think about the fact

that with all these things happening

83

00:05:57,976 --> 00:06:02,086

in our lives, whether it's personal,

professional, or even organizational

84

00:06:02,096 --> 00:06:06,996

for that matter, it's about the concept

of time that we have to enhance,

85

00:06:07,466 --> 00:06:12,706

that we have to embrace, in order to

create those reasons for that change.

86

00:06:14,091 --> 00:06:17,361

This is the time of year to do it,

especially as we get closer to the end,

87

00:06:17,431 --> 00:06:21,391

which for many of us, I know this will

be crunch time, especially as we get

88

00:06:21,391 --> 00:06:25,341

towards this end of year to make sure

that we have all the presents wrapped,

89

00:06:25,671 --> 00:06:29,141

to make sure that we have money in the

bank account in order to come up with

90

00:06:29,221 --> 00:06:32,401

unanticipated expenses, maybe those

year end expenses that we need to

91

00:06:32,441 --> 00:06:37,561

shove in before we go and report our

taxes to the dreaded IRS, the Internal

92

00:06:37,561 --> 00:06:41,601

Revenue Service here in the United

States, but even abroad for that matter.

93

00:06:42,141 --> 00:06:45,401

What are some of the things that you're

doing right now that not only create

94

00:06:45,401 --> 00:06:49,151

the best version of who you are, but

maybe some of the things that you want

95

00:06:49,151 --> 00:06:53,551

to create as the stepping stones or

the building blocks for the new year?

96

00:06:54,671 --> 00:06:58,651

I know for me, personally, as I start

to reflect on what those things are for

97

00:06:58,651 --> 00:07:02,821

the end of the year, I think of numerous

things that I can do, and I've already

98

00:07:02,821 --> 00:07:08,811

shared about how I've been breaking

this old Josh version of myself into

99

00:07:08,811 --> 00:07:13,501

something that is brand new; something

that's radical in nature, and I know

100

00:07:13,501 --> 00:07:17,301

that I'm really excited to be sharing

some of the new enhancements that we'll

101

00:07:17,301 --> 00:07:21,641

be doing here at my business and even

through this podcast for that matter,

102

00:07:21,931 --> 00:07:27,811

in the new year, but it's so much more

than just getting ready and anticipating

103

00:07:27,831 --> 00:07:33,731

for the new year, more than it is to

create small little steps that help to

104

00:07:33,771 --> 00:07:40,766

transform us and help to push us, into

that right direction, and this is where

105

00:07:40,986 --> 00:07:48,056

many people fall into the trap of just

writing big, hairy, audacious goals,

106

00:07:48,756 --> 00:07:51,276

but they never put a plan behind them.

107

00:07:53,006 --> 00:07:56,916

Now for me personally, I know

that we can talk on and on.

108

00:07:56,925 --> 00:08:00,796

I'm going to have some guests here in the

near future that we're talking about even

109

00:08:00,796 --> 00:08:04,706

some of the things that we are setting

as goals for the new year in the fitness

110

00:08:04,706 --> 00:08:10,906

realm, amongst other areas, but I will

say that even with all those things that

111

00:08:10,906 --> 00:08:16,386

we do, one of the consistent themes that

I continuously have in my own life that

112

00:08:16,386 --> 00:08:22,356

I'm trying to do better with is to break

it down into small, actionable items, and

113

00:08:22,356 --> 00:08:24,126

that's even what I do for my business.

114

00:08:24,745 --> 00:08:30,136

When I work with clients, I don't want

this to be an overwhelming BHAG, or

115

00:08:30,196 --> 00:08:32,966

Big Hairy Audacious Goal, process.

116

00:08:33,706 --> 00:08:38,616

I want this to be something that allows

them to take actionable steps today.

117

00:08:39,186 --> 00:08:44,706

I don't want them to feel like they are

moving back and forth trying to determine

118

00:08:44,706 --> 00:08:49,446

what is really the best course of action

in order for them to write that new

119

00:08:49,446 --> 00:08:54,665

change in their lives, but the truth of

the matter is, some people don't even

120

00:08:54,665 --> 00:08:59,085

know what those steps are, so I'm telling

you right now, if you haven't started

121

00:08:59,125 --> 00:09:03,355

thinking about it now, if you have

never worked with a coach before, this

122

00:09:03,355 --> 00:09:05,645

is the time to go and reach out to one.

123

00:09:06,075 --> 00:09:07,605

It doesn't have to be me.

124

00:09:07,955 --> 00:09:13,045

It could be anybody that you know

personally, or you look up online, that

125

00:09:13,045 --> 00:09:17,715

you feel attracted to that will align

with the values that you're trying

126

00:09:17,715 --> 00:09:19,985

to achieve, even for the new year.

127

00:09:20,705 --> 00:09:22,715

Now is the time to start today.

128

00:09:23,175 --> 00:09:27,485

Even though some people might have their

calendars booked all the way through

129

00:09:27,485 --> 00:09:31,815

the end of this year, It doesn't mean

that you have to put it off either.

130

00:09:32,655 --> 00:09:36,175

Having a plan in place in which you're

starting to think about what some of

131

00:09:36,175 --> 00:09:39,925

those things are that you wish to work

on in the new year, whether that's

132

00:09:39,925 --> 00:09:44,435

in public speaking, whether that's in

your interview preparation, whether

133

00:09:44,435 --> 00:09:48,465

that's even having life coaching done

to help you go through a traumatic

134

00:09:48,465 --> 00:09:53,035

situation and you need that extra level

of support that's beyond a therapist.

135

00:09:53,655 --> 00:10:00,025

Having some of those steps now can help

to change the story that you have in order

136

00:10:00,025 --> 00:10:02,295

to create that best version of yourself.

137

00:10:02,295 --> 00:10:03,355

Let me say that again.

138

00:10:04,055 --> 00:10:09,935

Starting that change now can create the

story that you wish to have in the future.

139

00:10:11,165 --> 00:10:13,365

Now, it's really important

to think about this.

140

00:10:14,765 --> 00:10:19,770

Not only are you entitled to that new

story that you wish to have, you are

141

00:10:19,780 --> 00:10:24,680

willing to create some of that effort that

goes behind it by starting to pre-plan

142

00:10:24,850 --> 00:10:28,790

what you want to talk about with that

coach, who you want to work with as that

143

00:10:28,790 --> 00:10:33,340

accountability partner even if it isn't

a coach for that matter, because even

144

00:10:33,340 --> 00:10:37,020

if it's a personal, professional, or

organizational goal in which you want to

145

00:10:37,020 --> 00:10:41,730

achieve, one of the biggest things that

you can do to keep moving forward, to keep

146

00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:46,090

testing the ways in which you can feel

empowered to write those new narratives

147

00:10:46,090 --> 00:10:50,300

in the new year, means actually doing

some of the things that I just mentioned

148

00:10:50,350 --> 00:10:55,640

earlier in this episode: doing that

vision board, writing down what you've

149

00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,550

done well and what you haven't done well.

150

00:10:58,540 --> 00:11:03,590

Those are some ways in which you can

start; but the real test, in which if

151

00:11:03,590 --> 00:11:07,220

you really want to challenge yourself

to create that best version of who you

152

00:11:07,220 --> 00:11:11,450

are in the new year, to radically go

in a completely different direction

153

00:11:11,770 --> 00:11:17,230

than maybe you have been before, is

to really sit down and contemplate

154

00:11:17,820 --> 00:11:23,680

what your relationship is, not just

with others, but with yourself.

155

00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:26,310

Here we go again.

156

00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:31,640

We're going to talk about how we might be

our own worst enemy, which we've talked

157

00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:36,850

about in other episodes, but here's the

key: if you are able to surround yourself

158

00:11:36,850 --> 00:11:41,630

with opportunities, if you are able to

create those best versions of yourself,

159

00:11:42,150 --> 00:11:47,190

you have to create the right mindset,

but even with the right mindset, you

160

00:11:47,190 --> 00:11:49,270

could still fall into the wrong trap.

161

00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:55,680

You could be leading down a path where

you might not be able to come back from.

162

00:11:56,620 --> 00:11:57,690

What do I mean by that?

163

00:11:58,710 --> 00:12:03,870

I think that for many of us, we often

get afraid of what that change looks

164

00:12:03,870 --> 00:12:08,090

like in our lives because we have to

work on not just the very essence of

165

00:12:08,090 --> 00:12:13,190

the things that we need to do on a daily

basis to create that change, but we

166

00:12:13,190 --> 00:12:18,585

also have to work on ourselves, because

working on ourselves might be some of

167

00:12:18,585 --> 00:12:21,175

the barriers that stand in our own way.

168

00:12:23,695 --> 00:12:28,615

No matter if you're an organization,

whether you are a working professional, or

169

00:12:28,615 --> 00:12:33,435

you're just working through some personal

stuff that might be affecting you, and

170

00:12:33,435 --> 00:12:38,205

how you can ultimately change, it's really

important to think about not only about

171

00:12:38,205 --> 00:12:43,005

the concept of holding on to maybe what

you've been through, but it means letting

172

00:12:43,005 --> 00:12:48,935

go of some of those things that aren't

helping you at all; maybe it's going to

173

00:12:48,935 --> 00:12:53,505

that fast food restaurant; maybe it's

going to have that dry cleaning done;

174

00:12:53,705 --> 00:12:59,250

maybe you can put that off for another

week; maybe it's about holding off on that

175

00:12:59,250 --> 00:13:01,840

luxury car that you always wanted to buy.

176

00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,480

Regardless of the pipe dream that you

might have, even if it is owning your

177

00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,600

own home for that matter, I think the

biggest thing is that we are faced

178

00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:16,450

with challenges and being prepared for

the unknown might also mean having an

179

00:13:16,500 --> 00:13:22,130

understanding of how we can create those

opportunities to keep moving forward,

180

00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:27,180

to keep understanding that sometimes the

brightness that we have inside of our

181

00:13:27,180 --> 00:13:32,830

lives might be disturbed by some unknown

challenges that come along the way.

182

00:13:33,744 --> 00:13:37,879

I think that part of writing our new story

means understanding that there will be

183

00:13:37,879 --> 00:13:43,299

new roadblocks that come along the way,

sometimes those things in which we are

184

00:13:43,299 --> 00:13:49,179

not prepared to handle whatsoever, but

yet here we are again, facing something

185

00:13:49,219 --> 00:13:54,269

similar to what we have been dealing

with before, but I think that if we're

186

00:13:54,319 --> 00:13:58,699

ever going to shine brightly, we have

to understand that there will be things

187

00:13:58,699 --> 00:14:02,749

in which we might be having to handle

because they are going to come up.

188

00:14:03,639 --> 00:14:08,729

I think of it this way: we have the

feelings, or the emotional literacy,

189

00:14:09,039 --> 00:14:12,319

in which we can address those things,

if we're just starting to work on

190

00:14:12,489 --> 00:14:17,319

what is truly important, but, as part

of this, we have to work on not only

191

00:14:17,319 --> 00:14:22,339

our thoughts, our abilities to use

the words in which we have, but we

192

00:14:22,339 --> 00:14:29,149

also have to have captive distortion

in which we create that opportunity

193

00:14:29,589 --> 00:14:33,929

to just throw off those negative

thoughts into a different dimension.

194

00:14:35,079 --> 00:14:40,789

That sounds pretty meta, if you ask me,

and I probably would agree with you that,

195

00:14:40,799 --> 00:14:45,689

really, I don't think we're going to have

that distortion field to be able to throw

196

00:14:45,719 --> 00:14:51,699

things into a different direction, readily

available, but it really builds upon this.

197

00:14:53,429 --> 00:14:57,749

If you really think that it's about

just working on a set of goals, having

198

00:14:57,749 --> 00:15:01,999

a little bit of tasks that go alongside

of it, and also understanding that

199

00:15:01,999 --> 00:15:06,489

maybe you can create those efforts

in our lives in which we can just do

200

00:15:06,499 --> 00:15:11,269

a little bit of bursts in order to

understand how we can be better in the

201

00:15:11,269 --> 00:15:14,199

future, I think you got it all wrong.

202

00:15:15,369 --> 00:15:19,999

This is a long, drawn out process,

and for some people, they like to

203

00:15:19,999 --> 00:15:23,339

rush it, and then when they rush

it, they will get rushed results.

204

00:15:23,689 --> 00:15:28,669

They won't be as complete as they

really should be, but the truth of the

205

00:15:28,669 --> 00:15:32,709

matter is, if you really want to have

systemic change, you have to build

206

00:15:32,709 --> 00:15:35,079

the right habits, so start today.

207

00:15:35,659 --> 00:15:39,459

You've still got time in this year and

you can still give yourself credit in that

208

00:15:39,619 --> 00:15:44,919

left side column in which you're saying

you're successful, but the possibilities

209

00:15:44,919 --> 00:15:49,879

are endless when it comes to potential

and even if it seems a little bit

210

00:15:49,879 --> 00:15:54,829

disorganized for that matter, you know

that you at least made your best effort.

211

00:15:55,939 --> 00:16:00,949

Starting out with that effort is what

is key, because the story that in which

212

00:16:00,949 --> 00:16:03,399

we're creating is going to be messy.

213

00:16:04,219 --> 00:16:06,359

They are going to have pitfalls.

214

00:16:06,359 --> 00:16:08,969

They're going to have loose transitions.

215

00:16:09,359 --> 00:16:13,819

They're even going to have mistakes,

just as much as when I edit this episode

216

00:16:13,869 --> 00:16:19,504

every single time, but yet as part

of this whole editing process that we

217

00:16:19,504 --> 00:16:24,334

go through in our lives, we have to

understand that picking up the pen is

218

00:16:24,334 --> 00:16:26,584

just only one step of that process.

219

00:16:28,214 --> 00:16:32,234

If we're ever going to have the chance

to change our story, if we're ever going

220

00:16:32,234 --> 00:16:36,014

to have the chance to change what we have

personally or professionally, or even

221

00:16:36,014 --> 00:16:40,774

within our own organization, whether it's

a for profit, non profit, or something

222

00:16:40,774 --> 00:16:47,964

in between, we have to understand one

thing: that it starts with just us, and

223

00:16:47,964 --> 00:16:53,144

that even if we are able to create that

us story, which will evolve into our

224

00:16:53,144 --> 00:16:58,887

story, I think that it will be worth it

in the long run, but there's always going

225

00:16:58,887 --> 00:17:04,896

to be people that will help you explore

that realm of potential possibility and

226

00:17:04,896 --> 00:17:09,807

whether you throw distortion waves or

throw words into the air, thinking that

227

00:17:09,807 --> 00:17:14,987

you have this literacy of understanding

what other feelings are being gone through

228

00:17:15,227 --> 00:17:21,007

to create that best version of who you

are, know this: it isn't as easy as you

229

00:17:21,007 --> 00:17:26,257

think, but as long as you're willing to

put that effort and that commitment to

230

00:17:26,257 --> 00:17:29,407

something, that's what matters the most.

231

00:17:30,837 --> 00:17:36,812

You don't have to be perfect, because life

would be pretty dull and boring without

232

00:17:36,812 --> 00:17:41,722

that opportunity to keep changing, to

keep evolving, to keep moving forward.

233

00:17:43,262 --> 00:17:48,432

I think becoming who we really meant

to be with the voice that we have means

234

00:17:48,432 --> 00:17:53,662

understanding that, in this ever changing

world, things will not always go to

235

00:17:53,662 --> 00:17:56,762

plan, so here's my real question for you.

236

00:17:57,732 --> 00:18:02,972

Even with all the vision boards, all the

successes and non successes, even all

237

00:18:02,972 --> 00:18:09,002

the things in which you are working on

in yourself, are you ready for change?

238

00:18:10,252 --> 00:18:16,542

Are you really ready for exploring what's

inside your heart, because let's face it.

239

00:18:17,252 --> 00:18:21,452

If we're ever going to have a chance to

change, if we're ever going to rewrite

240

00:18:21,457 --> 00:18:25,832

the story that we've been writing for

all our lives, even for this past year

241

00:18:25,837 --> 00:18:30,682

as we enter the new year, it might mean

examining not just what's inside our

242

00:18:30,682 --> 00:18:37,402

hearts, but changing the words, and

changing the thoughts, and changing the

243

00:18:37,402 --> 00:18:43,772

feelings of how we associate, not just

with ourselves, but with each other.
