Speaker 4 (01:48):
I am good, Cesar, how are you?

Speaker 3 (01:50):
I'm doing wonderful. I definitely love to hear more about
all of these things that you have going on right now.
And when we start first by telling me a little
bit about your background and your bringing. Where are your
originally from and how was that up bringing for you?

Speaker 5 (02:04):
Okay, so I've lived in Pennsylvania my whole life. I
grew up in Central Pennsylvania. You know, I think I
had kind of a normal family upbringing, although my dad
got really ill when I was about nine years old,
and you know, I didn't know a whole lot at
that time, but they were concerned and maybe he wouldn't

(02:26):
make it. You know, this is very serious, and so
that that led to some economic issues because now my
mom was working for the first time. She had been
a stay at home mom and now she was teaching school,
and so that was a little difficult. But you know,
we got through it with the help of my grandparents,

(02:47):
and so that we're there to support us.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Good good, got it.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
I'm always interested of knowing, you know, when we go
to school right as kids, you know, at one point
someone's gonna ask us, Hey, what do you want to
do when you grew up?

Speaker 3 (03:03):
What was that for you?

Speaker 5 (03:04):
You know, I always kind of wanted to be a teacher,
and I remember playing school when I was a kid,
you know, and I'd have my little classroom and grade
book and it was teaching lessons. So I sort of
I'm actually a third generation teacher. My grandfather was a teacher,
so it was both of my grandmothers and my mom,

(03:25):
so it came naturally, you know.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
So tell me a little bit about with that. You know,
what happens after high school.

Speaker 5 (03:36):
So after high school, so you know, I had an
older brother and what my granddaughter will call it a boomer.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
So in that time.

Speaker 5 (03:44):
Period, you know, the emphasis was on the males in
the family, you know, so there's a lot of emphasis
on him doing really well in school. It was always
expected that I would go to college. I was told
from an early age that I would be going to college,
and you know, so it was a matter of finding
what that was. And for me it became music. And

(04:04):
you know, I had this brother who was brilliant and
you know, straight a student, and everything came easy to him,
and for me, I had to work.

Speaker 4 (04:14):
But then music became my outlet.

Speaker 5 (04:16):
And I loved music, loved singing, love playing the piano,
so that, you know, spurred me into Okay, well let's
go into music and be a music teacher.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
So that's that's what I.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
Did, okay, And that's awesome, awesome. So music was your passion,
you became a music teacher, you still do some of that,
the teaching music, or that's already weakene.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
I don't do that anymore. Well, actually I kind of do.

Speaker 5 (04:46):
So I gave him my my career as a full
time teacher. But then a couple of years ago, I
was asked to work with a group of college students
at one of the branch campuses for Penn State. So
I actually keep like, you know, keep in it that way.
And I also do a church choir, so I still
have my foot in it. But you know, for me,
I guess that was being in music was the first

(05:09):
time I really felt like I was good at anything.
And you know, it was the one time where I
really set goals that I started to realize that, you know,
I wanted to be in district course and regional course
and stay course and performing you know, our show.

Speaker 4 (05:28):
Our senior musical.

Speaker 5 (05:29):
So it was like the first time I really felt
like I was setting a goal to do something. And
I think that impacted my children later on.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
Actually, yeah, you know, tell me about that, because I
think that that's actually something important just mentioned. There's the
things you mentioned. Number one, it's like you felt like
that was the first time you were sitting up goals,
and the number two, you feel like you know something,
you know, you're worth something right, you were doing something
right and a lot of times people unfortunately do not

(05:59):
seem or finding that. And I guess tell me about that.
Why that's important, right, because that can have a different
type of impact on your life from a good enough
a confidence level. And then really the idea of creating
goals or I like to call them targets, you know,

(06:20):
for your life. You know that that's huge that a
lot of people don't do right.

Speaker 5 (06:24):
Yeah, so that really did impact me because, like I said,
my brother was better. I made and everything and music
was the one thing where I kind of excelled in
although he was good also, but as he saw me
catching up and passing him, it was like it was
the one thing I.

Speaker 4 (06:42):
Really felt like I could do.

Speaker 5 (06:44):
And once I realized, you know, a lot of it's
the consistency and the practice and the repetition and realizing that,
you know, to be able to get to a district
course and regional course and stay course, you just had
to work at it and you had to you know,
repeat the music. You had to learn the music, and

(07:05):
you know, that was that was key for learning. You
know that you have to have that consistency and persistence,
you know, and and there were times when I almost
thought I did really well my junior year in high school,
and then my senior year, I almost blew it with
an audition, and I was like, you know, it was
almost embarrassing to realize that I almost messed up there

(07:28):
and didn't make it, and you know, so it's it's
also humbling, you know, you have to have that confidence.
But it was it was really impactful because it was
it was the first time I felt like I could
excelt something, and you know, I always felt everybody in
my family was more successful in an I, which probably
was not true, but that was the the internal feeling

(07:50):
always had.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
Yeah, and so one of the things you do now is,
you know, you kind of help entrepreneurs business owners with
limited patterns, and so that was a limited two for you.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Right.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
If you look at it from that perspectives, you're creating
this thing in your mind that hey, maybe I'm not
good enough for I'm not good at certain things, when
in reality, it's something you're creating. So let's shift a
little bit and talk about. Okay, so your son manifested
getting a scholarship for college. Let's talk about that experience

(08:22):
and how that helped you.

Speaker 5 (08:24):
Yeah, so you have to realize my son had some
medical issues. First of all, when he was five, we
realized he had two lazy eyes, and so he had
to have a therapy for that to get his eyes
to focus. But then when he was almost nine, he
was diagnosed with type one diabetic, so juvenile diabetes. And

(08:49):
yet he wanted to get an athletic scholarship. So already
has these couple you know, issues, health issues, you know,
and then he decides it's going to be baseball, and
they really aren't full scholarships in baseball. The coaches will
tell you there's no money in baseball at the college level.
You know, it just doesn't happen. So, you know, I
never believed that he would get a full scholarship, but

(09:10):
I allowed him to believe it, and he would just
keep talking about it over and over. So I basically
did personal development my whole life. So I knew, you know,
not to steal somebody's dream and to allow them to
believe that. But in the back of my mind, you know,
I just I never thought it would happen, so you know,

(09:31):
when it did happen, and to be honest, he did
not get an athletic scholarship. He got an academic scholarship,
but it didn't matter because the goal was the full
scholarship to college, and you know, and he got to
play in the South, which he wanted to experience something different,
and so his goal was to you know, be in

(09:51):
the South and play baseball, and he just believed that
for six years. He just kept telling me, you know, mom,
I'm going to get this scholarship. And he'd set goals
and he'd achieve these goals, and you know, it was
just it was fascinating to watch. And then when he
actually got the scholarship. I remember when he opened the
envelope and you know, and I told him, because the

(10:12):
school had told us he could expect one third to
one half, so you know, he said, Mom, wanted to
be funny if this is a full scholarship. And of course,
because I never believed it, I said, nig you remember
they told us, yeah, one third to one half. And
then when he opened it and we saw it, it
was like, oh my gosh, it was it was a
full scholarship, and it was just amazing. And yet I

(10:36):
was angry at the same time because I thought, how
did he do this?

Speaker 4 (10:42):
You know, I here, I've been the one doing personal development.

Speaker 5 (10:44):
I never did anything like that, you know, So how
did he accomplish that? To me was a really big,
awesome goal. And so that led me to Bob Procter
and trying to figure all that out. And once once
I understand, because I was called Bob was like my
missing link. He was a piece I was missing in
all this and understanding how the mind actually works and

(11:07):
how you you know, manifest things and you give. Realizing
what my son had done, then I could look in
my past and say, well, gee, I did that too.
I just it wasn't as magnificent as a full scholarship.
But I did the same thing, but I didn't realize
what I was doing. And that's what I help people
do to understand, you know, what steps they needed to

(11:29):
take to really, you know, achieve the life that they
want and the belief that you need to have. Because
my son had awesome belief in himself, and even you know,
there were times he got discouraged because you know, he
had bad games or you know, even almost a bad season.
He had a really bad shoulder injury at one point.
So it wasn't like it was easy, you know, but

(11:52):
he worked harder than most people do. And I think
that's the thing that you have to realize that. You know,
sometimes we see these athletes or the business people that
just seem like everything comes so easily to them, but
you don't know what work they've put in to get
to that point.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
Right, So let me ask you this. You know, your
son believed that he kept saying it, I'm gonna do this,
and you know, obviously, uh, well you were. You have
done a lot of self development, right, there's a little
bit of disbelief that that could happen, right m h,
if you were to put yourself in your some shoes,

(12:30):
because that happens a lot, right you know, oftentimes in
families or really good friends, it's like, yeah, I don't
believe that person. I don't believe that. And so then
either that other person gets discouraged and like, yeah, maybe
they're right and I'm not gonna do this and and
I'm going to give up, or in other cases, like
most likely your son's case, he's like, you know, although
you were, you were tell him, yes, you can do this.

(12:52):
You know he had that support from you, right, very
believe What do you believe is the difference between what
you've done and your son did compared to somebody else
that might have just listened to the outer noise and
just given up.

Speaker 5 (13:08):
I think it was the total focus. And you know,
he would tell me, you know, least once a week,
you know, that he was getting a scholarship.

Speaker 4 (13:19):
And you know, later.

Speaker 5 (13:20):
On when I understood what he had done, he shared
with me that, you know, for every time he told
me that, he was telling himself that ten or twenty
times more. And so it was just that total focus
on the scholarship, and you know, just that belief that
he was going to get it. Even when things went wrong.

(13:40):
He never he still believed that he was getting it.
And you know, there were discouragements, and you know, there
was a time when he thought he had totally blown
it because the travel team he thought he had to
be on to get the scholarship just told him he
wasn't going to play with him that summer and that

(14:02):
was so discouraging to him because he thought he had
completely lost the opportunity.

Speaker 4 (14:07):
But what he didn't realize was.

Speaker 5 (14:09):
That wasn't the team that was ever going to get
him a full scholarship, and it had to happen that way.
But you don't you don't see that when you're in
the moment. Looking back, it was it was obvious that
that team was never going to see the school where
he got the full scholarship, and they'd never had anybody
get a full scholarship on that team, and so he

(14:31):
had you know, it was like the universe knows and
he couldn't be on that team. He had to find
the team that would get him there. And you know,
so even even at those moments where he just felt
so embarrassed, that you know, he didn't get on the
team that he expected, and you know, he thought it

(14:51):
was something wrong with him. He kept believing, and you know,
sometimes we get to that point where, you know, we
maybe said a deadline or set a you know date
for a goal, and it doesn't seem like it's going
to happen. So then we switch it, and you know,
we change the goal or we change you know, the date,
and sometimes we have to just keep pushing through it

(15:13):
and you know, wait until that date actually comes, because
you don't know what's out there or what opportunity might
be around the corner that you know, you presently don't know.
But if you give up, then you've you know, you're changing,
you know, and that's what happens. A lot of times
people will keep changing what they want. He stayed focused, yeah,

(15:36):
hunt percent.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
And in terms of you, there's a lot of different
people that do love of attraction self development. Why did you?
Why were you gravitated towards Buff Procter or somebody else?

Speaker 5 (15:52):
I think because I had done a lot of personal
development and I'm just going to call traditional personal development,
and it's like goal setting and things. The thing that
made it different with Bob was that he actually helps
you understand how the mind works and how we have
these paradigms or habitual thought patterns, and as long as

(16:12):
we keep allowing those habitual thought patterns to exist, we're
going to keep getting the same results. And we never
Really it's not that we don't know what to do,
it's that we don't do it because those habits are
so ingrained in us. And so it's a matter of
working on those habits. And it sounds so easy, but
it doesn't mean it is. You know, it takes work

(16:35):
to be able to overcome those ingrained beliefs, and a
lot of them come from our childhood. They come, you know,
from generations back even and they're so ingrained in us
that we really have to work on us to overcome them.

(16:55):
And so for me, hearing like the first time I
heard Bob Proctor speak, like, oh my gosh, this guy
knows the answers. And I'd heard his name prior to that,
but I'd never come in contact with him or any
of his materials. I knew he was in the personal
development field, but that's about it. And when I heard
him speak, I'm like, this man has the answers I'm

(17:17):
looking for, and it took me on a journey and
it you know, it was a few years just searching
and understanding and you know, studying, and that's something that
a lot of people won't take the time to do.

Speaker 4 (17:29):
You know, it really does take, you.

Speaker 5 (17:32):
Know, finding out who you are and you know, figuring
out where your limited limiting beliefs are and really spending
time finding out.

Speaker 4 (17:43):
Who you are.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah, got it?

Speaker 3 (17:46):
Can you give me kind of an example of like
maybe a client or somebody came to you. You know,
obviously you helped them with their their masters. Their mindset
was their productivity, freedom and get more freedom and money,
right right, you make some of somebody maybe coming in
with having some challenges in one of those areas. How

(18:07):
do you go about helping them overcome those things?

Speaker 4 (18:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (18:11):
So I'm thinking of one of my clients that was
having a business that they were making money, but they
weren't pocketing any money and it was all going into
paying their workers and so on, and they were not
really earning anything. And you know, first of all, it
was to get to well, what do you really want?

(18:31):
Because just like for me, when I found that I
enjoyed music, it became a passion. And you know, every
time I walked by our piano, I'd sit down and
play something. You know, it became something I did because
I loved it. And so if you're if you're stuck
in a situation where you're not making the money that
you want or that you expect, it becomes discouraging. So

(18:56):
you have to, you know, find that that passion. What
is it that you really want. Because at the time
they were construction business and they were doing more handyman
type jobs. When they what they wanted was to build
luxury homes. Well that's quite a difference. So they had
to start seeing themselves as the person building the luxury homes,
not the handyman. And again that sounds really easy, but

(19:19):
it's something you have to work at and you have
to constantly keep that vision of where you're going, even
though you're not seeing it in your reality, and so
you have to see yourself doing it and you know,
being that person. And you know, eventually that started to happen.
They started building you know, additions instead of just decks

(19:41):
and you know, putting new windows or doors in, and
then they eventually started building luxury homes and then they
pivoted because they realized that that wasn't what they.

Speaker 4 (19:51):
Wanted to do.

Speaker 5 (19:52):
That sometimes those home owners were difficult to deal with.
Now they're doing commercial and they're making millions, you know,
and that's that's where it was for them. You know,
they had to go through that and find that that
journey that they were on. And I think we all
have to realize success is in a straight line. It's
never straight line. It's always a journey, and it takes

(20:12):
all kinds of turns and curves and unexpected obstacles that
you have to overcome.

Speaker 3 (20:19):
Yeah, and I think with that example a kind of
it reminds me of the message you have here and
says we are in control of who we become and
who we want to be. We create our own reality
and self image is key to become limitations that actually
be hidden deep in our subconscious mind.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
Right.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
Well, let's talk a little bit about that, these subconscious
mind and the conscious mind. Right there's you know, well,
I can give you my perspective, but I want to
hear that from you in terms of the two different
types of minds that we're dealing with.

Speaker 5 (20:52):
So your conscious mind is is your thinking mind. It's
the one that's educated. And you also have the ability
and the conscious mind to decide whether you're going to
believe something or not believe it. Your subconscious mind is
completely open and as a child, and this is why,
you know, we have to be careful what we say

(21:14):
to our small children, because they don't have that filter
to decide, you know, what they want to believe until
they're about seven eight years old, and so everything just
goes right into their mind, into their subconscious mind, and
it builds our image. And that self image is stored

(21:36):
in a subconscious mind and it's very very strong. And
so that self image is built from the time you're
an infant. And you know, if you tell a child,
I remember one of the children I taught in school,
she decided to be mute. And it wasn't she couldn't speak.
It wasn't she didn't have you know, it was a decision,

(21:58):
but it was reinforced over and over again by classmates,
by her parents, by you know, her brother, and you know,
she was just chose to be that way. And you know,
I hope she finally overcame that, but you know, it's
it was in her self image that that's who she was,

(22:18):
and you know, so we have to be really careful.
But the subconsciousness where all these paradigms or these habitual
thought patterns are stored. So in order to be able
to shift them, we have to first be aware that
we have them, and then we have to decide what
it is that we want. And every time, because they're
very strong, they're there to protect you. You know that

(22:39):
the subconscious mind's trying to keep you safe and keep
you secure, and yet consciously you want to do something,
but subconsciously it says, no, you can't. And so that's
where the power comes from and the struggle, and so
you have to really work to overcome that that feeling.

(23:01):
So every time you get that you know, feeling of
this is what I want, but no, I can't do it,
you have to decide no, I can do it. And
you have to, you know, reprogram or rewire your thinking
so that you start to believe that you can do something,
which is basically what my son did.

Speaker 4 (23:19):
He just kept believing that.

Speaker 5 (23:21):
He just kept telling himself that he was getting the scholarship,
and you know, it just that it just becomes that repetition.
Just like any learning that you do, you just have
to repeat it over and over and over again.

Speaker 3 (23:34):
Yeah, No, that that's powerful. I like the idea. And
now that I think about it, you're right, like, you know,
as we're growing up, I mean really, there's where we're
just listening and we're just you know, paying attention, and
there's really no logical side of ourselves right to say, hey,
this is good or bad. You know, they're learning from
from your you know, the adults or parents. And it's

(23:55):
not until prouably, as you mentioned said on Arra, where
you're start already having the led you think inside, where like,
now let me challenge some of the things. I think
it makes more sense. And and again it is very
I guess dangerous to an extent, and the environment that
you're you're growing up and the things you're hearing and
and and now as as an adult, you know that

(24:19):
that part of it is kind of hidden, right because
now it's all logical, logical, and it is that critical
factor that that that is taking place, right, And so
I see that for for sure. Yea, So tell me
about more or less. Just give me an idea of
you know, what are some of the things that you
have some of your clients do and I know it

(24:41):
is a different case by case, but what are some
I guess powerful things that you might have them do
when they first come in contact with you and maybe
have their first session with you or two sessions with you.
What are some of the things you have them do.

Speaker 5 (24:53):
So we really work when I start out with the client,
is working on getting them to build a bigger, bigger dream,
mostly because we tend to clamp down on what we
think we can do and what we think we can accomplish.
And so oftentimes when when I have a client talk
to me, they'll they'll tell me what their goal is,

(25:15):
but that's not really their goal. You know, they kind
of hide it because they don't believe that they can
even accomplish it. So, you know, it's really getting them
to think bigger and to really you know, expand on
what it is they want, not just in their business life,
but in their personal life, their relationships, you know, how
they want them to be, you know, everything, their spiritual life, whatever,

(25:40):
you know, all the different areas you know, where do
you really see yourself and where would you most like
to be? And so getting them to think bigger and
then they have to actually realize that they have to
become that person then, because what I often say is,
you know, everything that you have today, everything that you've accomplished,

(26:01):
is because of the thoughts that you've been thinking and
the beliefs that you have. But if you have a
really big goal, you're not that person that can accomplish
it yet. You haven't become that person yet because if
you if you had, you don't really have it.

Speaker 4 (26:16):
And you know, see, really.

Speaker 5 (26:19):
We really if we want to keep moving forward, because
either either we're going backwards. You know, there's really no
staying the same because the world's changing so quickly. So
if you really want to move forward, you have to
become somebody different, and you have to decide, Okay, you know,
do I want to be the owner of a company?
Do I want to you know, have a promotion? Do

(26:40):
I want to be a supervisor? Whatever it is that
you want. You have to see yourself there first before
you're ever going to get to that position. Because when
you see yourself there, then other people start to see
you there too, and you know so that that's a
real key and you have to do the action so
often and we will say, well I'll do thus and

(27:02):
such when I get to here, well, no, you got
to do that now so that you actually get to
that position. You know, it's like trying to put to
build a fire without lighting the you know, you've got
to You've got to start and be that person first,
and then things will start to happen.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
Yeah, for sure. And definitely, as they're saying, you know,
what you focus on will expand, right, so you know definitely.
So are you helping your clients that are all over
the US? Tell a little bit about where you find
your clients or how do they come to finding you.

Speaker 5 (27:41):
Yeah, so I usually find my clients through social media
or you know, locally. So before COVID, I was pretty
much doing everything very local and you know, in my community.
And then when COVID, he was like, okay, I had
to pivot, so I had to you know, get more
online and so more through social media and contacting people

(28:01):
that way. So you know, I can work pretty much globally.
If you know, I am a single language person, so
I only speak English, so that is a barrier for me, right.

Speaker 4 (28:14):
But yeah, so.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
Okay, that's a good. How do people find you?

Speaker 5 (28:19):
They can find me through social media LinkedIn Patricia Stapler
Actually on Facebook.

Speaker 4 (28:25):
It's Patty Stapler.

Speaker 5 (28:27):
But you know, I assume there'll be some information in
the show notes that they can contact me.

Speaker 4 (28:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
Sure, awesome. So let me ask you something. Definitely, you've
you've gone, You're done, You're doing the work, you're teaching,
what you've learned. What are your habits? What you what
are your daily non negotiables that you might do every
day to kind of get you up and going and
really moving that direction of being, you know, a different
person tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (28:53):
That's a really good one.

Speaker 5 (28:54):
So I do tend to write out my goals, you know,
just a short sentence where I'm headed and that that's
like a short term goal, and then I will write
out a story of where I'm going to be, you know,
in another three years, five years, just to keep that
vision going so that I keep that fresh in my mind.

(29:15):
And then I generally read from one of my favorite books,
you know. And that's something you know, when we become discouraged,
we really have to have something to hang on to.
And so when you feel, you know, it's all about
the vibration that you're in and we can feel when

(29:36):
when you're having a bad day or if something's you know, discouraging,
that's the moment. You have to find a way to
get out of it. So if you can find a
statement or a paragraph in a book, or a chapter
in a book that just lifts you up and makes
you feel better, you need to go to that. So

(29:56):
you need everybody needs. It could be a song. Sometimes
it's just a song that just kind of lives your spirits.
And you know you have something and you like, can
your back pocket that you can pull out when you
feel like your things aren't going right, that you can
turn to and then be willing to turn to it.
And you know that that's really key. And you know

(30:19):
some of my favorite books, Signs of Getting Rich is
probably my my go to book, and also Thinking Very.

Speaker 4 (30:25):
Rich, I like that one too.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
Yeah, for sure, you know.

Speaker 5 (30:29):
Those are just and it doesn't you don't have to
read the whole book. Find something in that book that
really you can latch onto.

Speaker 3 (30:37):
Got it? Love that love that. Let me ask you
one last thing for the people that are listening to
us and are watching us, if they're going through any challenge,
whatever challenge that might be, what is one or a
few things you can say to them so they can
start overcoming that challenge.

Speaker 5 (30:54):
So I guess sort of what I just said, you know,
find something that will inspire you and get you moving
forward and realize that, you know, I know, when when
my son was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes, there were times
when it was very discouraging, especially when he went from
taking shots to going on an insulin pump. It was just,

(31:16):
you know, everything was just so confusing, and you know,
it hurt me to see him struggling at times, and
you know, there's always somebody has it worse, and I
think we forget that. And you know, I felt like
there were many times where God would put a mother
struggling with a child that had something far worse than

(31:38):
what I was going through, just at the moment when
I needed it. So sometimes we have to look beyond
ourselves and just allow things, you know, to realize that, yeah,
this may be a struggle, but look at what I've
ever come, look at the things I've already done. And
you know, sometimes I think we forget to give ourselves
a patent back because we just because we're who we are,

(32:00):
we just think every you know, there's nothing special about
what we've done. But I think we have to look at,
you know, times when we've had successes, and then we
also have to realize that. You know, as a friend
of mine, when my son was diagnosed with the diabetes,
she gave me a pillow saying, you know, God won't
give you anything that you can't handle. I just wish

(32:23):
you didn't trust me so much. So, you know, that's
something that I keep thinking about too. You know that
that's you know, there's always you know, sometimes we're being
challenged because we need to build something in ourselves. Yeah,
and you know that that challenge may be put there
because it's going to be the breakthrough that we need.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
Yeah, And I do agree with that statement. I do
agree that sometimes you know, we do not see our
full potential or or how shall we can be. And
it is a test of you know, God in the universe,
whatever people believe in right to say, hey, you know,
I'm going to put you in through this challenge now
and prove me that you are who I think you

(33:04):
are and you can get through that. And and and
so I think the message there, as you mentioned, is
you know you could push through what you've been faced
with a challenge. Definitely do whatever it takes to get
to that challenge, get the blood fire on the other side, right,
there's gonna be definitely glorier and other stuff. So now
I love that for sure. But usually I had suchually

(33:27):
a great time here with you. Let me know, is
there anything else that you want to share with us
before I let you go?

Speaker 5 (33:32):
Well, I just wanted to kind of tie in with
what we were just saying. There was a time in
my teaching career where things were not going well and
it was very discouraging, very hard for me, And we
don't have time to get into it now. But you know,
if I had to get through that same struggle again,
I do it in a heartbeat. Because of the growth

(33:54):
I had in myself from having to get through that struggle,
I would do it again, you know, and even though
it was that difficult. So I think sometimes we don't
realize that sometimes the struggles are put there for us
because it's exactly what we need.

Speaker 3 (34:12):
Yeah, that's the push we need to get to get
to Yeah. I love that. Well again, Patricia, thank you

great information and wealth of knowledge. I really appreciate it.
