0:00.0	If you're really growing and helping people and developing your life and finding your purpose
0:06.1	and your God calling and reaching your potential, you will never have a day that you won't be
0:11.7	criticized. You will never have a day that there's not someone who will want to take you and bring
0:17.3	you back down in the basket. It's a fact of life.

1:18.3	just unsubscribe. It's one click away. In the meantime, if you're listening, we would so appreciate
