If you want to grow up, I got a real good idea for you. I'm talking about like spiritually grow ups. I mean, we can all age.

I'm talking about actually growing up spiritually. There's what you do. This will do faster growing up jobs than anything else.

Start praying for the people you least want to pray for. Pray that God will bless them. Richly, again, blessing is kind of a religious term.

But it means something, and it's a God will add value to their lives. It's something that's easy for us to ask for ourselves.

But for somebody, honestly, the people you think may even hate you. This is not a side issue, but this is something you start doing.

I promise you, you're going to start growing up really fast.

So much of life is habits. We just kind of put things on autopilot, which is a real opportunity because you can start to build stuff in based on stuff you're already doing habits.

One thing for me is I'll wake up, check my phone, and start looking at whatever. You know, it can be news, it can be my Twitter feed.

Yeah. Yeah. Really a dumb way to start the day, honestly. I think a lot of people do that. I'm sure. I don't mean insult them, but that's a really dumb thing.

That we're doing. If you get the Bible app, the you version Bible app, they give you a verse. Yeah, they do every day. Yeah, they pick a pretty good one. I can't at least start with that.

Oh, please, look at that before I look at other stuff, think about. So the one the other day was then Jesus said to his disciples, if any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way.

Take up your cross and follow me. I was reminding you, okay, I got a different way of living than need to have.

That's a good way to start the morning. Yeah. Okay. This is about your way.

Somebody should make a bumper stickers that say the first one to be content wins. Oh, wow. You like that? Yeah, I do came up with it.

I want to make a big deal on it. That's pretty awesome. Good. I was thinking about because I just saw Chevrolet come out with a new Corvette that goes zero to 60 and 2.5 seconds.

Okay. That's cool. And people who are into motors instead of school, but how fast do I need to go zero to 60? Yeah. How many times do I need that?

I'm just just in life. Yeah. How fast do I have to get? I got rid of this down to zero and 60 and 0.01 seconds.

I got to be out of rocket ship. No matter what the category of thing is, you can always upgrade it.

And it's an endless thing. And you set a new baseline. It's like enough for me to have 4,000 horsepower and to blast myself into space.

I got to do a faster and faster and faster. Like first person to be content, man, you win.
