[00:00:00] Sometimes things just won't happen the way you want it to happen.
[00:00:04] And we have to learn how to live our life when that happens, right? That's obvious, right?
[00:00:15] For some people it's a no brainer, right? It's just, it just happens that way, right? And some people have learned to.
[00:00:23] That's just a part of life, right?
[00:00:26] When somebody gets what they want all the time as a kid, when they're there, when their parents give them what they want, when they leave their parents house, they're always going to want to get what they want.
[00:00:49] Then they come into a situation where somebody tells them no, man, that person will throw a tantrum.
[00:00:58] I see it in my kids when I raise my kids.
[00:01:02] I have kid children right now at this age in my life.
[00:01:07] And I notice when I tell them no, I throw fit.
[00:01:12] Sometimes I let them throw the fit and sometimes I tell them, look, when you go out there and you live on your own, people are going to tell you no.
[00:01:26] So you, I'm, I'm showing you this because you have to learn how to accept no from people know, in the workplace, no. In friendships.
[00:01:44] No. Like it's, it's a, it's a good lesson to teach people.
[00:01:52] And I bring this up because I see this in my job, myself included, sometimes. And there's other people that always want to get what they want.
[00:02:06] Oh. Which is understandable. You know what I mean? People look out for themselves. You're supposed to look out for yourself, right? You're supposed to have a sense of self to where you, you look out for yourself, right? But not to the point where it's selfish. You become a selfish person, if that makes any sense. Because you don't always have to say yes to people. You know what I mean?
[00:02:38] People at my job want to get, want to make their money and the, the type of job that I do. You get paid by the load, right? I'm a truck driver.
[00:02:49] You get paid by the load and there's, there's a season, there's a season in, in throughout the year where it slows down and they had the. My job has to spread the loads out to all the drivers, right? To make it, I guess, to make it fair, you know.
[00:03:09] And some drivers, they want all the loads they want. They complain. Oh, what happened? How come I didn't get a load this week? Who'd you give it to? You know what I'm saying?
[00:03:23] And you can see that. And that's why I'm bringing this up. Because if you tell them no, and I mean There's a whole lot that goes into it. But the main thing is the reason why I say there's a whole lot that goes into it, because finances. I talk about finances on my channel a lot, right?
[00:03:42] I've gotten out of debt. Finances is a huge thing.
[00:03:47] And then these people that. That don't like. No, I see them driving up to the. I see them. I see where they park at. We all park in the same parking lot. Person. The vehicle is a brand new truck with wheels on it. Brand new wheels and rims on it.
[00:04:02] This person has to make a payment.
[00:04:04] He has. They have to make payments, right?
[00:04:08] I'm a huge connoisseur of being out of debt.
[00:04:14] Connoisseur. I think that's the right word. Anyway, I'm a huge advocate of being out of debt. And I know, like, for instance, if they tell me no for a load, if I have to be off for a day, you know, a day or two, because it's slow and they're trying to spread out the loads to the other drivers, I'm cool with it because I'm in a place financially where I can. I can take that. No, I can take that hit, you know, but there's some people that can't. They gotta do whatever they have to do to make ends meet, to pay their. The loans that they have, Their. Their bills that they have, right?
[00:04:55] So that's another. Another way of handling a. No. When you grow up is you handle your money right? You handle your situ. Your Handle your.
[00:05:05] Your finances correctly and being out of debt so that you. So that when they tell you no, you're like, okay, cool, I'm good with it. Go ahead.
[00:05:15] And then. And then in my mind, I think of it like, okay, this is an opportunity to do something else. This is an opportunity to be home with my family.
[00:05:24] As opposed to the season of the year where I'm. Where. Where it's. It's. It's running. It's running good to where you're working every single day and you get off late, late at night. So I'm just looking at it like, all right, cool. This is an extra day that I get to be home with my kids to spend time with them, right?
[00:05:39] So you. There's different ways to look at it.
[00:05:43] You go to the gym, you tell somebody no. Like, you tell them no or you're in their spot.
[00:05:49] You go and show up to the gym at a different time that you don't usually show up to. You're on a weight machine that somebody's usually there at that time, and they're pacing around you, trying to get you, like, to move and not say, not to be courteous, because you can be. You can still have to be, you know, kind of courteous and thoughtful of other people that are at the gym as well, because sometimes it can be packed, you know.
[00:06:15] But I'm saying when you're receiving the no, still respect yourself and still be like, all right, cool, I'm good. I'm good with it.
[00:06:25] Some people.
[00:06:26] Some people don't take it. They're just like, they want what they want, and they're gonna do what they can do to try to get it.
[00:06:33] So taking a no, taking a hard big N is important in life. It's important to receive that as a.
[00:06:44] Receive it as a blessing sometimes. Like, because if it's. If it. No means no. You know what? That's the old saying. No means no.
[00:06:52] So you can either accept it or you can choose to not accept it. How do you.
[00:07:01] How do you handle your no?
