#714 “From Marvin Gaye’s Backyard to Proverbs 26: How Small Foolish Acts Become Big Regrets”

What if the small foolish acts you overlook every day are the very things wrecking your biggest dreams? In this episode of The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas Podcast, we break down the wisdom of Proverbs 26, a wild story from Marvin Gaye’s backyard, and how to avoid the foolish decisions that derail your life.

This episode takes us to an unforgettable moment: standing on a third-story balcony overlooking Marvin Gaye’s backyard while the song Sexual Healing randomly played on the radio. My friend Russell looked at me and said, “That’s the hill Marvin Gaye was running up when his dad shot him!” That sparked a conversation on foolish behavior—and how often, it starts small.

Think about it: if you demanded delivery of a car before it was finished and it showed up without a steering wheel, everyone would call that foolish. And yet, in life, we often “take delivery” too soon—making small foolish choices that stack into disastrous results.

Proverbs 26 makes it plain: foolishness is easy to spot in the big things, but it’s the small acts we often ignore that lead us there. In this episode, we unpack those small foolish habits:

• Avoiding discipline

• Failing to read the room

• Lacking discernment

• Skipping due diligence in relationships or business

• Refusing to learn from mistakes

• Ego unchecked

• Gossiping

• Laziness

• Meddling in other people’s business

• Not telling the truth

When these pile up, they lead to massive foolish decisions. But here’s the VIBE: when our Heart (belief system) is filled with truth, it overflows into our Words (mind/intentions) and flows into our Actions (skills)—aligning everything into that irresistible VIBE. Because the VIBE is not just what you bring into the room… it’s how people feel when you leave.

So here’s the question: What’s the most foolish thing you’ve done in the last week, and how can Proverbs 26 help you stop it before it grows?
