00:00 What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger 00:09 Intro 00:25 Our New Set!!
Speaker 1:
Okay, okay. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, but did you die?
Speaker 2:
Love them to next time.
Speaker 1:
Welcome to the Fitlife Show, where we share tips and tricks on fitness, food, family and fun. Okay, as you can see, this set is brand new, brand spanking new. All the little decorations and things Seth, my co-producer, came up with, and you know, nice little mugs and little things.
Speaker 2:
We'll be adding some new stuff later.
Speaker 1:
Yes, we will. It'll be changing every once in a while, but you know it needs to. But anyway, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Do you, too, believe in that?
Speaker 3:
Oh, I guess it depends, right.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, it depends on how hard it's trying to kill you?
Speaker 2:
Yeah, I could think of a couple of things, like you know, like sharks.
Speaker 3:
Yeah.
Speaker 2:
Crocodiles alligator. You know, I don't know if there's necessarily make you stronger, maybe Well because you're swimming hard to get away from it.
Speaker 1:
So you know, if it doesn't kill you, then it does make you stronger.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, but you're probably going to die or lose something.
Speaker 1:
Okay.
Speaker 3:
I'm just keeping it real?
Speaker 1:
That's not really a great question, because Seth would never get into water that has sharks even rumored to be into. I mean he doesn't even like getting in pools that are super deep.
Speaker 2:
Yes, I do oh wow, mr I'm scared of little spiders. Oh, we have some confessions going on here.
Speaker 3:
Look throwing each other in the bus.
Speaker 1:
I am very, I am very okay with admitting that I do not like spiders. It's primarily the ones that look scary. We should already say most Okay.
Speaker 3:
I was going to say where does it not Topic here?
Speaker 2:
I guess Spiders could kill you yeah especially you know seriously if there's that's. That's a whole other tangent.
Speaker 1:
But if there's one place on this earth that is just literally trying to kill you 24 seven. It's not straight, yeah, but all seriousness, what do you think about that?
Speaker 2:
I mean, I think there's a lot of adversity that can. I mean, if you're looking at things like from mentally, spiritually, there's a lot of things out there that can make you stronger, even though it does sometimes feel like it can crush you.
Speaker 3:
Yeah.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, and you know it does feel like sometimes just want to give up, but you know yeah it does in the long run. It makes you stronger mentally, physically, spiritually. You're in a better headspace, sometimes after adversity. I think yeah.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, there again, it's a good point.
Speaker 2:
Because a lot of people.
Speaker 1:
I think they concentrate either completely on the physical or completely on the mental. You know, they don't think about the three, all three of them, because they do affect each other.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, they do yeah.
Speaker 1:
You know, if you're just working physically and not concentrating at all on your mental state, then you're going to have a deficit.
Speaker 2:
Right, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think a lot of times. I mean it's hard to see.
Speaker 3:
What is some water? No, I have water.
Speaker 2:
Just to clear that just to clear the air.
Speaker 1:
That's why he's saying something because I don't have water in here and he's like, oh, you'll need water later, but I haven't so far good yes.
Speaker 2:
No, I'm gonna say, sometimes it is harder to To think that you will be strong at the end when you're in the middle of, like in a valley Of, of something yeah situation. But yeah, I mean, but did you die, you know? When you look back it's like, yeah, no, you didn't die, but it kind of stunk.
Speaker 1:
But you know, yeah, you didn't die that's the reason why I put but did you die in there? Is? That's something that Jose Um would say quite often, especially in the gym.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, Matt goes to yeah when you know people are complaining about this or complaining about that.
Speaker 1:
It's like but did you die? Like, so what?
Speaker 2:
Yeah, it's a really polite way of saying and.
Speaker 3:
And we have a shirt that says, yes, we do. We have a shirt that says but did you go?
Speaker 2:
Yeah, I really love that shirt because it's a great reminder. You know it's like you know. What are you complaining about? Are you dying?
Speaker 3:
Yeah. Yeah, no, it's going to get better, yeah, um but yeah, well, I I'd say you look at uh people in general I mean most people that have been through a lot of adversity have there are some of the like most respected, most you know, influential, most. You know what I mean impactful yeah people. So I look at it as Not that we want to go through it, but as, it being of almost like a, it's like a good thing.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, to go through. You know you can't be a human without going through adversity of some kind. You're not going to avoid it.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, I mean we're, we're warned, especially as Christians. We're warned that we're going to be going through adversity. I mean it's, it's. There is nowhere that you will see. Oh, it's going to be, it's going to be perfectly fine for you for the rest of your life. And no, yeah, it's not you're going to have problems. You're going to have issues, the the thing is, how are you going to deal with it?
Speaker 2:
Right. Yeah, it kind of reminds me of um, he was two years ago. Um, uh, saw a clip from America's Got Talent and there was a young woman that came out and sang. And she sang an original song, I think it's called it's all right, uh, and she, her stage name was night bird and she was a Christian, but, um, she was in like stage five cancer and she had, like she said, even on stage she has like less than one percent chance of survival and um, but she just sang a song, her own song about. You know, it's all right, doesn't really matter what's going on, it's all right. And she died like four months after that, I think.
Speaker 3:
Um during like.
Speaker 2:
COVID. She couldn't make it on Um to come back. I think she got a golden buzzer but she wasn't able to come back because of her health and she died shortly after that but it died. That really hit me, impacted me. I mean, she was on there for well five minutes of the show, but how much she impacted people because the next season another group from Africa, kimmel America's Got Talent, and they sang her song Because it it impacted them so much.
Speaker 2:
Oh, wow that it didn't matter what situation you were in life, that it was okay if you just you kept going.
Speaker 3:
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:
So that I always think of that when you know yeah but did you die? I mean, she was facing death, but she still Found a way that what was killing her made her stronger. Yeah and she affected in so many people.
Speaker 3:
Yeah Well, and it becomes relatable to yeah, absolutely. I look at it as, even with your guys, the situation with your dad and then Sydney. Do you know that situation? You know, I mean yeah there was a connection there because of the old similarities, you know. I mean.
Speaker 3:
So the adversities, yeah yeah that bring people together Right and connect them, you know it it cancer stuff, like something that connects a lot yeah and it makes you you know, and then you know you kind of Work together and you know that there's awareness, there's a there's also that Feeling of someone understands you.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, right, you know.
Speaker 3:
Whereas you know, when you don't go through adversity or well, everybody does, but when they don't talk about it, yeah, then you know they feel. You feel like you're on an island, alone yourself. Yeah and then nobody else has gone through or gonna go through what you've been through and your life is the hardest. Yeah, when all actuality. I mean, you're one of many. Yeah, that are that are going through that very same thing?
Speaker 1:
Yeah, it's a terrible lie that we tell ourselves that we're the only ones going through it because, like you said, it affects us mentally. It affects us physically because we're trying to do it all on our own, try and figure it out or whatever, and I mean, when you isolate yourself, that's, that's the worst thing.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, it's not. It's the worst thing mentally, but I mean even spiritually.
Speaker 3:
I mean yeah, that's what they want.
Speaker 2:
That's. That's what they need to be once. That's when you're at your weakest, when you're not yeah talking to other people to for support and help, and yeah, I mean I've definitely been there before and that was definitely a. That's a very dark place to be.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, to think that you're alone and there's no one else that understands what you're going through, when in reality I mean, george was one of the ones that helped me through some of the stuff was like you know, I've done this, this, this happened to me and this had me. It's like okay, so I'm not alone.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, you don't. Well, anyway what he was saying you wow, your way worse.
Speaker 2:
It's so helpful to have someone there besides you or that you can talk to, that knows what you're going through and can point you to you know Scripture or Encouragement that that can show you you know you're not alone. Let's get out of this bit together.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, I think one of the hardest things for me was we've had relatives who have committed suicide. Yeah, and that is one of the hardest things to live through. And you know when before hand, beforehand, you hear about suicide and you're like I'm sorry, you know that's a terrible thing, yeah, but when it actually happens to you, you have a whole other level of Empathy, but also just yeah, like just a reality that you can Not necessarily that you can you can relate to them more but you can pray for them in a different way.
Speaker 2:
There's a. There's a best way of putting it. You know there's another level of understanding.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, yeah, good, yeah, because. Yeah, because it's just not, it's not just oh, that's a terrible thing, it's. I know exactly what you're going through and what you're going to be going through. Yeah.
Speaker 2:
Mm-hmm, because, yeah, that is definitely. I mean, cancers is one thing, but suicide is definitely, yeah, one of those things that it never let's you never leaves you. It's the same impacts, so the people are left behind. It is such a different way.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, well, I Make cancer you can't do anything about per se, right, right, I mean. And suicide is usually a mental yes thing. Yeah, that usually there can be something that can be done. Well, I mean, I mean.
Speaker 2:
I think a lot of going back to, like when you feel like you're in that hole by yourself and you keep doing that over and, over and over and over, with more and more things and you, just you, have no hope. Yeah this way eventually, I think, probably boils down to yeah but that's where you know, especially as Christians, we need to be there for each other and encourage, bear one other's burdens. Hmm, yeah yeah, conversation a little dark, but I think.
Speaker 2:
I think it's kind of deep, Deep, I mean it's a good conversation to have but you know, when you're looking at Situations where there is a difficulty, you know you can see and empathize with other people that have gone through more Difficult situation like you know. This isn't. You know, I'm not going to die here. This isn't so bad.
Speaker 3:
You know yeah so. Yeah. So moving on from that, um, physically putting yourself through hard workouts, or yeah, you know things of that nature, you know a lot of times, with proper form, they do make you stronger.
Speaker 2:
Yes, yeah. Yeah so great but, I mean also in this. In this I mean I have found, when I work out like an, I'm really upset or angry. If I do a run or you know, slamming a slam ball is so therapeutic when you're upset punching bag, I mean you know that's another way when you're going through something the physical, you know getting rid of those Endorphins and stuff you know, chemically it helps to rebalance you. I mean so but yeah, and that's just in the upcoming, you'll Punch the punch bag, you know, to death.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, you know it is a good. It gives release of endorphins, I guess.
Speaker 3:
Mm-hmm, yeah, so no, I would agree with that. What about you physical activity? For you, is that a part of your life?
Speaker 2:
It's since I haven't seen you in the gym.
Speaker 1:
We were sick last. Yeah, we were sick last now, but yes, it is, I am. I am starting up.
Speaker 2:
I know you are yeah, with his knee problems and stuff. He's been doing more like, yeah, water, aerobic stuff and he's been doing like more crunches and stuff defending him more floor extra More floor exercise, yeah, okay. Well, I didn't run this week. Oh, because I was what now? It was so hot. I was no Tuesday, in no way. I am not going to. I'm not glad with all. So what?
Speaker 3:
you should what it doesn't make me.
Speaker 2:
Well, baby, how do you lose headaches?
Speaker 1:
just feel like you're gonna die.
Speaker 2:
I just I avoid all costs if I can. Yeah that's why I go for treadmill.
Speaker 1:
If I have to run, he doesn't, I don't run.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, I don't run.
Speaker 1:
If I run, you better start running too, because something is chasing me. I once said that I forget who I said to. I think I said to Tonya or someone. They were like yes, but remember, you have to run faster than the other guy. It's like yeah, yeah so but yes. I would say. I would say what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. I would say overall, yes, it's your attitude towards it.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, yeah, yeah agreed, because there are people that Don't and that do end up dying. Yeah you know, yeah, I think Was the old age.
Speaker 2:
Laughter is one of the best medicines. I mean it's about your outlook. Yeah for laughing. I mean even like with someone like night bird, who was? She was dying, I mean what, what? Would you know it does. What was killing her made her stronger? Yeah so I mean there's another ways to look at it too, but it is your perspective and your attitude.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, yeah, and surrounding yourself with people who Will help you. Yeah, that are toxic right, yeah. Yeah, yeah, that aren't toxic.
