Yo, today's best of QOD is frustration happens when you think that everybody else got something that you didn't get.

Here we go.

Welcome back to the quote of the day show. I'm your host, Sean Crox and a Sean Crox and calm today's best of 2019 speaker is Bishop T.D.

Jakes. This one blew up my Instagram for multiple days. All kinds of shares, mentions, tags, comments, all of that stuff because it's just one of the most powerful talks you will ever hear in your whole entire life because it's the truth. Here's Bishop Jakes.

You know, these are interesting times that we're living in. In our cell phone, we can access more people than any other generation in history.

One click of the button and you're out there in cyber lab floating around with people from all over the world having conversations whenever you will.

You would think with that much accessibility, we would never be lonely. But the truth is, it makes us more lonely because everything's designed to fix yourself up. You can only show the good parts of yourself.

You can pick the best picture before you post it. That fat picture that you deleted.

Yeah, I know. Yeah, I'm with you, bro. You may we've real people for Jesus. I'm with you, man. Yes, sir. God knows fat people too. Now, the thing is, it creates a moment where we have to be filtered to be.

And in order to feel. So the person that I'm showing you, psychology teachers, that I have my ideal self and my real self.

My ideal self is built around the person that I would like to be. My real self is the person that I am. And the gulf between those two, the wider they are, the more we are to be frustrated.

So we are able to show people our ideal self, but what we crave, and we crave is somebody who loves our real self. Somebody, somebody who loves you with no makeup. Somebody who loves you before you put your teeth in.

That's real love. We got a mountain. Now they don't come out. It intimacy. Listen, intimacy is into me. See. We have bought into each other's lives. The reason we're frustrated is that I'm looking at your filtered you thinking I'm missing something.

If I saw who you really were, I would not feel strange. I think that people make sure their marriage. Look at how happy they are. I'd be washing the car and playing in the soap. You don't never play in the soap. So it's with me when we wash the car. You don't even wash the car.

We're reading everybody else's commercial as if it were their reality. And we're frustrated because we think we're missing something. We buy into the stories we see on TV as if they were real. And somehow we think that frustration happens when you think that everybody else got something that you didn't get.

Let me tell you the happiest people you know are not as happy as you think. The most perfect couple you've ever seen are not as perfect as you think.

When you began to take down these false filtered produced synthetic imitations of life that we project to be real. You run into the beauty of saying, I'm okay.

Flows and all, broken all, scars and all. I'm okay. I tell you this question. When I was a little boy, I've worked all of my life. I cannot remember a time. I didn't have a job. I've always been entrepreneurial. My mother raised greens in the garden and I sold them in brown bags to my neighbors and gave them a receipt when I was six.

I have been working all of my life. I was a paper boy. I always had a job. I was always doing something. I was always going somewhere. I was always doing things. So I wouldn't put my mother a sway jacket on layaway. It was $50. I put it on layaway. It took me a long time to get it out because paper boys don't get paid like a whole lot of money.

Every Saturday I catch the bus and I go down there and I put three or four dollars on it until I finally got it out. When I finally got it out and I got it wrapped. She opened it up on Christmas and there was a blipish right on the front of it. I was so embarrassed.

I was so embarrassed. It was a little spot on the front of it. It was dark spot. It was supposed to be light camel color but there was a little chocolate spot on there.

There was a little tag on the button that said do not be concerned about the blemishes and imperfections you may notice on the garment. It is those blemishes that prove that the fabric is authentic.
