Word of mouth is awesome and each of you are awesome for joining us no matter how long or how short you've been with us. We want to greet you and say thank you so much for joining us.

1:01We're glad to have you with us and it's just an incredible time here at Voices for Voices. We're getting closer and closer to reaching that humongous goal of reaching three billion people, reaching and helping three billion people over the course of my lifetime. And beyond, as well as reaching over 300 countries, territories and provinces, we're well over 110 at this point and help us reach over 3,000 cities across the world, we're well over I think 11, 1200 cities that we've reached thus far and the whole reason, it's because of you, it's not because of us, we're just the mouthpiece of sharing content, sharing stories,

2:10events and we really just want to help people that's been my goal from day one with Voices for Voices and that is continuing and it will continue for the duration of this organization, which isn't a fly by night organization. This is a century, two century long business organization. We are a nonprofit, 501c3 nonprofit charity organization, so anything you're able to do if you're able to pitch in a dollar, we would greatly appreciate that. You can head on over to lovevoices.org, lovevoices.org, and lovevoices.org, that is L-O-V-E-V-O-I-C-E-S-D-O-R-G.

3:15And I'm just announcing Hayes here with Voices for Voices, it's really an incredible time here at the organization and also a very impatient time at times, where those of you who have had projects or had goals that you're working on, hear jingle about, that's our dog Lucy, so you're probably hearing it, if you will think, hey, man, am I hearing a bell? What's going on? And so, impatience, as I said, we're going to talk about with this show. I'm an impatient person, I don't like, I don't like the way I like for you know,

4:23we have ideas, we have projects, we have different things, we don't want to wait, right? That's why there's what's called fast food restaurants where you can order, now Lucy's ground too, so she's got plenty to eat, plenty of water to drink, so she's good, she's just put her chew toy, and so it's, you know, impatient, you know, as I just stayed it with, I don't want to wait 15 minutes, 10 minutes for my food, I want it right now, I want to order it in my car, in my truck, on my bike, and then I want to pull just around the building, not around the whole building, just, you know, maybe half of the building,

5:27if that, and then I want to pick up, I want to pay, and then I want to pick up my food. And so that's what I'm talking about, you know, being impatient, and that is not the easiest to do with bigger projects, you know, bigger, yeah, bigger projects, bigger, bigger things, and even some small things, and it really doesn't matter what size of the project or the size of that thing is, that you want to complete, maybe it's a Lego, I'm not very Lego inclined, I'm not a very artist inclined, I prefer coloring than drawing, so that's just me, I've found that's like my part that I like to do, when I have the opportunity

6:38is, there's the coloring, and so having an adult coloring book is kind of helpful because the pictures are already drawn, you know, there's sometimes numbers that relate to, you know, the colors, and sometimes there's not, and so that impatience of, oh, do I have to wait, do I have to wait for this to be drawn before I can color it, or paint it? That's just, that's just me, fast food, not, is not usually that the healthiest, not usually the healthiest food, and that's okay, because we're just talking about, you know, impatience and patience, and as it relates to a prior episode, a very recent episode actually,

7:44talking about how we took the idea of having an audio only podcast, actually two audio only podcasts, and then how we worked our way, again, this is, oh my, four years ago, maybe, maybe four years ago, maybe five, till where we are today, and if you were to ask me back at that point, you know, A. Justin, do you, do you think, and several years that you would be here, that you're reaching people, they're helping people near and far, and the amount of

8:49episodes, amount of cities, amount of territories, countries, provinces, etc. I probably just said you're crazy, or I'm crazy for bringing it up. As I, as I talked through one of that, one of our earlier episodes, it may actually even be the episode right before this one, depending on when it, when it drops, and so we'd look at the evolution of how we get from point A to point B, and it's, we've talked about this many, many, many times, it's very rarely a straight line, you know, there's peaks, there's valleys, sometimes there's more peaks, sometimes there's more valleys, and so that's where that, that paint, we hear you Lucy, sometimes it's just so unpredictable,

9:58and we just have to, I don't want to say, you know, say, kind of go with the flow, if we're doing what we love, if we're doing what we feel like we're meant to do, which I do with voices for voices, then it doesn't feel like as much of work as something different. If I didn't feel that I was being called to be a doctor, then even though that is a very, very noble profession, and then I just, I don't have the stomach to be able to do that, you know, bless everybody, bless the doctors, nurses, the techs, everybody, the anesthesiologist, everybody that's involved, it's, and it's especially with, we talk about medical care, that oftentimes takes time,

11:21and so we just have to take, take time, it's not easy, it's not fun, it's not something we look forward to, it absolutely is not something we look forward to. I look forward to completing the project, getting something done, and out, and part of it is I feel like I have to show, I have to show what I've done, and my counselor and psychiatrists, they know the medical terms and diagnosis and that to come with that, but I do, I feel like I got to show, like here's what I'm doing, because it's,

12:21it's a little bit unorthodox, it's more accepted now than it was 10, 20 years ago, what we're doing here, voices for voices, but it's unorthodox for the majority of people, and so I get it, I can see how it can seem like, where's the deliverables, why isn't it happening quicker, and I wonder the exact same thing, what's taken so long, the deliverables, where they are, and so I'm like a child, look, look what I've done, look what I've done, and then if it's not a topic that relates to somebody, then it can even be a worse thing, you spend your time on this topic,

13:34and it comes down to, not everybody's going to love every single thing we do, doesn't matter who we are, doesn't matter where we live, doesn't matter how much money we have, doesn't matter, any of that, it doesn't, that's why it matters so much for us to do what we feel that we're called to do, what we love to do, because nobody's going to pick up on it if we don't or not believe in ourselves, if we don't have that belief ourselves, might as well pack it in, and I felt like that many at times, well, what are we doing here, what are we doing here,

14:38and the closer I got to that, those feelings and those thoughts, then something else happens, and it's like, oh, that's why, that's why we're still here, so every day, every moment is not going to be filled with all these accolades, it's just not, and so that's where the patience comes in, that I'm not great at, I'm not great at having the patience, but we have to have patience, because like I said, a majority of things take time, anything we're doing for the most part takes time, unless you win the lottery, the power ball, you win big at a casino,

15:40it's going to take some time, maybe end day, maybe a week, maybe a month, maybe six months, maybe a year, or ten years, and it just comes down to how much do we want to put in of ourselves, of our mind, body, spirit, soul, and to what we're doing, that for me helps a little bit with the patience, doesn't help 100%, doesn't help 100% at all, with the patience, it helps a little bit though, because I'm able to go okay, let me just take a step back, or two or three steps back,

16:44and when I do that, I go oh, I didn't realize we were this close to this, or that, or this, or that, or this, or that, and so we just have to, we have to believe in ourselves, we have to keep dreaming, we have to always keep dreaming, never stop dreaming, never stop believing in ourselves, never, ever, ever stop believing in yourself, every single one of us is here on this earth for one reason or another, and I got chills just saying that, so I know that's the fact, and so I want to see you, dream, live out your dreams, go after your dreams, there's gonna be times people are gonna doubt you, there's gonna be times where a lot of people

17:49are gonna doubt you, there's gonna be times where you're going oh my gosh, why have I spent so much time on this, and there's gonna be other times you're going to go oh my gosh, I didn't realize that five years ago, this one thing that I did, that really started it all, and I get goosebumps again, as I revert back to where it all started, the doubt, the money, nothing, nothing can take the heart out of what you do, what you have done, what you're going to do. So you just got to do it, it's okay to ask questions, it's okay to do your research or do

18:52diligence, it's okay to ask people their thoughts, at the end of the day though, you have to be the one that makes the decision, because you're the one that's gonna be waking up every morning, or afternoon depending on you have sleep schedules and such, you're gonna be the one that's gonna have to look yourself in the mirror, like I gotta look myself in the mirror, okay, Justin, are you doing, what are you doing with your life, what are you doing with your life, is it worth it, and I can say heck yeah, it's worth it, and so because I believe in myself, I dream, I believe the God put me here for a reason, that He's kept me here for a reason,

19:55and even if I'm no longer around this earth tomorrow, again, I'm not foretelling anything, with some reason, today's my last day, our shows are gonna live on, we're gonna continue helping people for a long, long time, and that's exactly what I wanna do, it's exactly what we are doing at voices for voices, and so many different ways, in a way we're really just getting started, yeah, we're just getting started, so maybe that maybe you are too, that's okay, that takes five, ten years to finally get started, there's gonna be some bumps and bruises, some obstacles,

20:56some forks in the road, we gotta pick, sometimes we'll pick the wrong one, we'll let the back up, and then go down the other fort, side of the fort, but that's how normal, that's how normal, and everybody is going through that at some level, bigger, small, so let this be a time for reflection, a time to not worry as much, a time to be a little bit, just a teeny bit more patient, and a time for you to dream, a time for you to go after your dreams, a time for you to believe, believe in yourself,

22:01and then others will believe in you as well, so thank you so much for joining us on this episode of the Voices for Voices TV Show and Podcast, I'm Justin Allen Hayes, founder of Voices for Voices, thank you so much, if you can give us a big thumbs up, like, follow, subscribe, share, if you can, reach out to maybe 25 contacts in your phone, say, hey, you gotta check out the Voices for Voices TV Show and Podcast, this is one of the hottest shows and podcasts in the world, because it is, the analytics prove it out, we are, it's taken a while to get here, and it's going to continue to take a while, so thank you so much for being a part of us, and spending your time, your energy with us, no matter how much time, or how little time,
