(01:54):
have been saying how I'm building up y'all seeing behind
the scenes, what's going on. Well, I've tapped in further
with my program that I'm working with, So I'm excited
for the features that you will be seeing tomorrow because
this episode is Monday, and I will be on for
Talk to Men, Talk to Me, Talk to Me Tuesday.
Still getting a lot of the love and I'm going
(02:15):
to be so excited to roll out some exciting features,
so stay tuned. But what I'm here to talk about
is the Apple TV Plus show I've been watching entitled
The Big Door Prize, and it's based off of a
book by M. O. Walsh. I told you what lured
me in as I saw my girl, Gabrielle Dennis was
starring in it, and then once I peeped in and
(02:38):
support her, I'm just like wow. So spoiler alert, spoiler alert,
I am on episode God was it four or five?
Either way, it's the one entitled Father Ruben. So if
you haven't watched it, understand I'm about to reveal some things,
(02:58):
but I want to talk about it things now. I've
been telling you this show is about this machine entitled
Morpho that came into this small town called Deerfield, where
it's telling everybody their life potential. Okay. In this episode,
we're starting to see from Father Ruben his discontent with
a machine. And I'm sure a lot of people who
(03:19):
may not believe in signs or a psychotherapist or not psychotherapists,
but like tear a card readers and so forth, people
that can predict the future readers, this episode may tantalize
you a bit. However, what I hope that the overarching
thought the walk away is what potential is. And I've
(03:43):
been saying this a lot. The quote by Mary Anne
Williamson Our deepest fear is not that we're inadequate. Our
deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure And
when we think about potential, there isn't a measurement for
it because it depends on how far are you want
to go, and it's all about where you want to go.
You won't know your potential until you tap into it.
(04:04):
So in this episode it highlights the life of Father Ruben,
the neighborhood priest. He is got a job over at
Deerfield High School and for a while we have been
noticing how he has been opposed the machine or really
doesn't see a purpose. He says, hey, what do you
But in this episode we get to deal with a
(04:25):
little deeper. We deal have a little deeper Why Pastor Ruben,
Father ruben us disposition about the machine, Well, here's a
couple of things in his whole perspective in his life.
The first time he encountered the machine, he got the
card priest, so he changed his entire life to be
(04:46):
a priest. And we also find out at one point
Father Ruben was married and actually planned to have a family,
but his wife suddenly died. So when he got the
card priest, he said Okay, I'm moving to this small
town ie it happened to be Deerfield, and I'm going
to go into seminary school and I'm going to pursue
(05:06):
this life. He said, Yes, I'm on the right track now.
For whatever reason, I can't recall exactly when Father Ruben
decided to go back to the machine. And when he
got to the machine, do you know what his life
Potential card said Father? So immediately he's on the cover
of all the newspapers. Everybody's highlighting him in the town.
They're like, yes, this machine is right. If there was
(05:28):
no other father, there was no other father. But what
we start to realize in the episode is he said
if anyone else had not received the card, priest, they
would think Father is Father. Now it makes me think
if you're a person, if you're a believer, if you're
a water walker or a water roller, that God says
I go by many names. Now, by no means am
I saying that Father Reuben is God. But what I'm
(05:49):
saying is that there's double untenders. There's more meanings. When
you talk about potential, you can't put it in a
box and try to shape it. Now, on one end,
the father is looking like Father Reuben. It's like, oh
my gosh, I wasted my entire life following this machine.
This machine told me to be a priest. I could
have fell in love, I could have had a relationship
or whatever one would think one can do if you
are not a priest. Why because father, and when you
(06:11):
think of father, you think of children, you think of family,
or on one perspective, depending on the lens that you're
looking at it. Let me just give you a sidebar.
That's why people say you can either look at your
glasses half full or half empty. It just depends on
your perspective. Okay, So while father Rubmen is looking like
he wasted so many years of his life because he
(06:34):
followed one thing, how many people out there who when
they think of readers or people that can predict the future,
they say, I ain't listening to them, because you're gonna
live your life how they want you to do it.
But I also like to think about the fact that
if we were to just have a little grace, you know,
make a little space, and to say, what about if
it just gave you another idea and a potential to
pursue something, We have a tendency or this is what
(06:56):
I feel, especially when it comes down to a religion.
And that's why I've been so apprehensive to say, you know,
I'm not a Christian. I believe in God my faith
because when I think of Christianity, I think of rules
and regulations. I don't necessarily think of the relationship I
have with God. And so oftentimes we follow things because
we think that's the concrete way to go. But you
(07:17):
have to realize that we are made by a creator,
so hence we are meant to create. And when you
are able to create, there's endless opportunities of what you
can do. That's why God says exceedingly and abundantly, far
more than what you could ever imagine, hence potential. But
see what this machine and that's geared a lot of
people on two folds if you look at it half full,
about what more there is to life? And those who
(07:38):
may have a negative aspect to be like, oh my gosh,
this is it. There's more. But if you were to
look at the overarching thing, I know I'm giving you
a lot. Let me know if you check in with me.
How about the idea of just that there is more?
Some people have looked at as a way of Okay,
this is what I must do. Now I can seek more.
Some people have looked at it in a way like,
oh my gosh, this is all I have for life.
(07:59):
And then some people look, this is not all I'm
going to be. So either way, it still shows up
as an abundance, an addition. But it depends on your placement.
So I have to ask you, what is your disposition
with your life? You have to realize that your location
is not your destination. If you fall down seven times,
get up eight. If you can look up, you can
(08:20):
get up. You can't fail if you don't quit. But
the only way to know what you can't do is
to go ahead and do it. Go ahead and tap
into that potential, try new things, get out the old.
We even saw in this episode that Dusty was stepping
out of his old Dusty old character up here dancing
and laughing. Why because he wanted to be more than
just what did his card say? A school teacher, somebody
(08:43):
that plays inside the lines, somebody that necessarily doesn't add
color and is bizazz in their life. And so I
want you to walk away with knowing that you can
be that color knowing that you can be that bozazzed,
knowing that you do not have to fit in a box.
Last week I did a quick though on It's Okay
to Be You. I think it was by Ashley Debos.
(09:04):
She was a singer or contestant on The Voice. I
hope I didn't get that show incorrectly, But if you
look back in an episode on the podcast list, it
says it's okay to be you. Why Because it's okay
to be different. You don't have to follow a one thing.
Use things as inspiration, not conviction, and branch out truly
exemplify what the show is about when it's talking about
(09:26):
this morphox machine, this butterfly, and see that there's more.
Another thing is is that we see with Principal Pat.
I have been saying motorcyclists, but what her life potential
card said was that she was going to be a biker.
I mentioned to you in the previous episode, how dusty
you know he could be a negative Nancy Honey was
talking about, oh my gosh, look at Principal Pat. She
out here living her life potential and now she's in
(09:47):
the hospital, all reckless and stuff. That's because there are
no rules to you live in your best life. So
to somebody that's always following the rules, always staying in
the lines, it can seem reckless, but we know that
that's where the magic happens. You know, you can have
your yin and yang, but you even notice the holes
on each side they dip into one another. That's why
they say you got to live your life in the
(10:07):
gray where it's not easily defined, but you know that
you're living because you're on the brink of what to expect. Well,
in this episode Pastor Ruben, we see that Principal Pat
gets married to this gentleman named for Reed, who also
works at the school. They've been knowing each other for years,
and what she says on her wedding day, many people
are looking like, girl, you're gonna get married to this
(10:28):
man and you don't even know him like that, you
only spent a couple days with him. But what she
said was this her living her life potential. When taking
a chance and falling off that motorcycle may have results
to her in damaging her neck or having a concussion
that whatever damage that was, but what it was is
that it placed her in front of her boo or
what she says, is her potential bull at the moment.
(10:48):
And I think that's the beauty of it. When you
talk about potential, there is no limit, there's a brink
of what more you can do, and I just want
you to tap into it because you gotta expect greatness
exceedingly and abundantly, far more than what you could ever imagine.
So no, I don't feel as though this show is
about looking at this machine as if it's God. I
feel like this show is just looking at this machine
(11:08):
and say what a potential is. How we can help
you think outside of the box. And for some people
they need a sign, they need something to direct. When
you talk about when you worship other gods, well you're
still looking outside for something else. But if you're somebody
who is a believer and saying, oh, you shouldn't look
at a machine to tell you what to do, how
about you just look at as a gateway or a light.
(11:28):
It's almost like saying I'm not going to go to
the doctor because I think God is the ultimate healer.
But how about God uses different instruments, different ways to connect,
And I'm just saying, can we be open? Can we
spread our wings like this butterfly and just morph into
something more, morph into abundance, morph into something amazing so
that we can step into the big door prize. How
about it? How about we catch that wise high Because
(11:51):
life goes by many meanings and there's many possibilities, and
I'm just saying, we here for a good time, not
a long time. So let's make a count. Choose to
live our life on purpose and for a purpose. Let's
choose to fill our way to success. Let's choose to
fall on our face. Let's choose to fall in love.
Let's choose the abundance. Let's choose exceedingly. Let's choose beyond
(12:13):
because it was promised and it has to be more
than we ever imagine. Right, So you can't sit here
and try to imagine what it's going to be because
God said exceedingly and beyond. But I just need you
to step out and tap into that potential. All right.
