And then also when you throw people in the mix in regards to being interested in getting to know them and go out with them and hang out with them and everything, and even being with them at some point, sometimes things don't always work out for what we feel is best. And sometimes you have to ask yourself, is it worth it or should I just walk away?

But for those individuals who love challenges and who are interested in learning new things, you don't have the opportunity if you run away. You have to stay in order to see what might occur and what might up in and what opportunities are available to

Hello. Good afternoon. Al Cosby, as always say, stay blessed and keep inspiring. First and foremost, thank you for your reply. What I liked about it, it was short and straight to the point in regards to, you know, your, your thoughts on this. And again, I appreciate it

You. Good morning. Swell podcasters, swell listeners and swell generators. In response to the previous reply to the initial question of is it easy to walk away? Primarily when you have time invested and not necessarily material things, but the hashtag that I submitted is when the burdens exceed the effort that you put into it, even though you might be missing out on something. If you walk away, then in my opinion, perhaps maybe it is time

Hey, brother. Al, good topic. And to be honest, I don't really have an answer. Is it easy to walk away? I mean, I guess the first answer that comes to mind is no, right? I think most of us know it's hard to leave, even if it's, let's say, a bad marriage. People can struggle for years to actually leave a bad marriage. We can struggle for years to actually leave a bad habit

Hey, good evening. Al Cosbyal, as always say, stay blessed and keep inspiring. I wanted to thank you for your reply. Yeah, I definitely understand where you're coming from, and I can relate to where you're coming from with that as well. What happens more so with people, you know, that's when you, you know, you you you make an investment in regards to spending time with them and trying to build a principle in a relationship

And then again, when the lease is up, then you have to make a decision if you want to just buy it out or trade it in for another lease. So that's why I came up with that example. And a lot of time, I say different doesn't always mean better, because if you recognize it or not, a lot of time with these newer vehicles that are coming out, they look great, but then what's happening with them?

Or is it going to be more beneficial for me to stay and try to make it work and fight it out? Now, when it comes to spiritual things, when it comes to spiritual things and spiritual attacks and things of that nature, it's gonna always be best to stay with God it's gonna always be best to stay with God and to stay with Him and to allow Him to fight for you. And we do that by fasting praying, reading our Bible

And again, like I always say, the Bible is definitely one of the great. Well, in my opinion, it is the greatest book. And I read that book more than any other book, and I'm always like reading verses and everything. So, of course, when you mention the Bible, I was thinking of that one verse where it says to be he not transformed into the way the world is

I know what it feels like to be abandoned. I know what it feels like to be kicked to the curb. I know what it feels like to be rejected. And that feeling I don't want to put on anyone else. And so I try to hang in with people as long as possible, believing for the best, hoping for the best, and believing for the best

@Cosbyal4165 · 3:13
So again, I did a podcast on that as well, cast, where I caught the lecture of two evils when it's like you don't hit your intended target, but you just hit whatever's there. But anyhow, that's what happened. And at that point in time, I felt like walking away myself because at the end of the day, what happened? Well, if you go to a Baptist Christian church, you only do communion once a month

It's like when you put that baby to bed, that baby is hollering and screaming but it's for the baby own good to lay there and to figure it out to sleep. Because you can't just stay there and collar with baby and rock and then you're enabling that person or that thing to not grow into their full potential. But yeah, walking away is painful
Al Cosby
@Cosbyal4165 · 1:54
Okay. Good morning, Luchianna. How you doing? This is Al Cosby. As always say, stay blessed and keep inspiring.
