It was my fault because I didn't learn as a leader to stop that swinging door. You gotta do what with that? Set boundaries. Say your name.
Diane.
Diane said, set boundaries. Tell me some more. No, you were good. You said that. No, you said that without thinking.
I know.
Know your limits and set boundaries. You know what? You two say your name in the back.
Linda.
Linda. Linda gets a book for that. I'm gonna make sure this audience starts to talk up. I'm going to get you involved. She is winning a book for good answers. You said Linda. Linda. And Linda made another good point, that she makes me skip to the program on something that I want to share with you, that I think this is a wonderful statistic. Check this out. Say your name.
Diane.
Diane says, oh, now I have to think. She said it. At first it was a great answer. And she wasn't even thinking right. It just came out. But then when she had to think, she went, oh, no, now I gotta think. But the pressure of her, of her having to think, Diane, was not that. You had to think. It was like you want. Like everybody's watching and you want to be right.
Yes.
Right. Check this out. Psychologists studied, even psychologists who are not that interested in spiritual things. Psychologists studied the nature of human thought and discovered that 98 to 99% of our thoughts are quite useless and repetitive. Okay. They are not really needed. So what an amazing discovery. To think that much of what we mentally fixate on and obsess about is utterly meaningless. In the grand scheme of our lives, it's meaningless. It has been said that 90% of what we worry about is interest paid in advance on a debt we may never own. Is that something? So what you think about, you bring about. What you think and think about, you bring about. Know that. So that becomes extremely important. So we do want to surround ourselves with the right people.
