and welcome once again to the unlearned podcast.

00:00:12,672 --> 00:00:27,564
I am your host, ruth abigail aka ra, and this is freedom friday, where me, or me and a friend of mine, come and share something we've unlearned recently and how it has made us just a little bit more free.

00:00:27,564 --> 00:00:58,801
Okay, so one of my favorite things to do is just to chop it up with incredible people, right, chop it up with people who are doing great things and who can pour into me, I can pour into them, and it's just such a life giving fulfilling experience when you find people who have the same drive, who have the same passion, who have the same or going in the same direction, that you could come together and really, like you know, just get better together.

00:00:58,801 --> 00:01:04,706
And so I've had these a few of these moments recently and it's been a really, really life-giving.

00:01:04,867 --> 00:01:32,680
One of the things that we I'm going to talk about is this idea of, or this question of why do I not see the fruit from my labor? Where is the fruit Like? Where is? Where is the fruit when, where, where? Where's the money? Where are the fruit Like? Where is? Where is the fruit? Where, where, where? Where's the money? Where are the resources? Where are? Where is that? And why am I not seeing it? And it's? It's one of those things.

00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,185
It's like it could be a lot of different reasons.

00:01:34,185 --> 00:01:38,341
I mean, you know, sometimes the timing we'd have to wait right.

00:01:38,341 --> 00:01:40,424
We'd have to wait for the timing to be right.

00:01:40,484 --> 00:01:42,867
Sometimes we don't know enough information.

00:01:42,867 --> 00:01:45,391
Sometimes we need to change the way we're doing things.

00:01:45,391 --> 00:01:51,626
Well, one of the things that kind of came out in the conversation that I think was so helpful to me is something that I definitely have to unlearn.

00:01:51,626 --> 00:01:54,781
We're in an age of knowledge.

00:01:54,781 --> 00:01:55,462
We know this right.

00:01:55,462 --> 00:01:56,825
We're in the information age.

00:01:56,825 --> 00:02:13,750
Information is currency nowadays and, specifically, if you can begin to monetize what you know, then you can be quote unquote successful in today's.

00:02:13,750 --> 00:02:15,473
You know most of today's industries.

00:02:15,473 --> 00:02:21,365
So knowledge and information is currency.

00:02:22,566 --> 00:02:28,895
However, I think we need to unlearn that knowledge doesn't equal success.

00:02:28,895 --> 00:02:32,524
Knowledge won't bring you fruit.

00:02:32,524 --> 00:02:45,393
Knowledge is the beginning of what can bring you fruit, but it isn't the end, and I think a lot of us overrate information and overrate knowledge.

00:02:45,393 --> 00:02:49,806
In order to have fruit, you have to have discipline.

00:02:49,806 --> 00:02:53,473
Discipline brings about the success.

00:02:53,473 --> 00:03:01,747
Discipline brings about the fruit, not how much you know, not how much information you know, and not how much information you can tell other people.

00:03:01,747 --> 00:03:04,735
It's about the discipline.

00:03:05,195 --> 00:03:23,772
We see all these people on social media and on YouTube and I think one of the misconceptions is that we see these content creators right this term that we're starting to use more and more now content creators we see these people and we're like man, they just putting out videos and they just get to.

00:03:23,772 --> 00:03:25,960
You know, they're just making this money putting out videos.

00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:56,771
And I think one of the greatest misconceptions we have and I like to tell um and I want to continue to tell my uh, the, the young people that I get to pour into being a content creator is not as easy as it looks the the kind of discipline that these creators have to have to put out content often enough for it to reach millions of people, thousands of people, even hundreds of people.

00:03:56,771 --> 00:04:05,631
That is a higher level of discipline than most of us have and exercise in our own lives just to do regular stuff.

00:04:05,631 --> 00:04:16,687
So we have to understand it takes a lot of effort to produce something high quality and then to put it out in the world enough for it to make you money.

00:04:17,007 --> 00:04:19,855
You have to really be disciplined, disciplined.

00:04:19,855 --> 00:04:26,245
You have to do the same thing over an extended period of time, especially when it doesn't feel like it's working right.

00:04:26,245 --> 00:04:28,430
That is discipline.

00:04:28,430 --> 00:04:30,413
We use it when we talk about working out.

00:04:30,413 --> 00:04:40,307
We do small things over a long period of time, as opposed to really, really big things for a long period of time, as opposed to really, really big things for a short period of time.

00:04:40,307 --> 00:04:41,552
You have to remain disciplined for a long period of time.

00:04:41,552 --> 00:04:42,375
That's why these people make money.

00:04:42,375 --> 00:04:45,769
It's not because it's not just because of what they create, it's not just because of what they know.

00:04:45,769 --> 00:04:51,291
It's because they're disciplined and they keep moving and they keep doing it, even when it doesn't look like it's working.

00:04:51,653 --> 00:05:13,177
And so I think we have to stop being so enamored by what we know and what information we have, or what other people know and what information other people have, because, at the end of the day, it's not that that makes us successful.

00:05:13,177 --> 00:05:18,629
We have to stop being so enamored with new information, with new revelation.

00:05:18,629 --> 00:05:23,168
How about we? Work the stuff that we're already doing? Work the stuff that you already know.

00:05:23,168 --> 00:05:25,514
Work the old information.

00:05:25,514 --> 00:05:27,338
Stop looking for new information.

00:05:27,338 --> 00:05:29,209
Work the old revelation.

00:05:29,209 --> 00:05:35,288
Stop looking for a new revelation, because it's going to be in working what you've already heard and what you already know.

00:05:35,288 --> 00:05:36,803
That's going to be in working, what you've already heard and what you already know.

00:05:36,803 --> 00:05:42,166
That's going to bring the fruit that you're looking for, and so that's what I'm unlearning.

00:05:42,187 --> 00:05:44,430
I hope that was helpful to you.

00:05:44,430 --> 00:05:47,778
We are going to keep growing together.

00:05:47,778 --> 00:05:54,636
