The question that I have is I feel like a lot of times we feel like it's something that we don't have in order to get to where we're trying to get to.

0:08.0

But sometimes it's something that we do have that we're not willing to let go of.

0:11.7

So my question is, what's the hardest thing that you've had to leave behind, like whether it's a relationship or a belief or something?

0:17.7

What's the hardest thing you've had to let go in order to get to

0:21.1

where you are?

0:25.8

My identity.

0:28.7

My identity as an athlete.

0:30.8

Now, I'm still an athlete.

0:35.7

But my identity as a football player.

0:41.4

0:46.2

I got love from support from oh that's Trent my foot my friend that plays this or plays at

Baylor plays the NFL so I wrapped my whole work around that so I had to lose that. I had to literally die to myself and die to that identity that served me for so long.

bro. It was hard. I lost friends. I lost myself. I lost everything. $20 to my name of my bank

1:18.4

And I always say, you're limitless. So I'm not just a speaker. Like, I don't like to put titles on my name. I'm Trent Shelton. If you understand what I'm about to tell you, I think this will literally change your life. You know, most people think that life is

1:50.4

about perfection, right? You want everything to go right. And that's cool and it feels good. But that's

1:55.1
