When the Plant Is Already Dead: Don’t Let It Get That Far | 1PM: 127

[00:00:01] Hey, what's going on, everyone? It's Bertrand. Today I have a special message for you, which I can't wait to share, because I was talking with a friend yesterday, name is Jack, and he said something so interesting, and it really hit me hard. He was like, you know, you ever try to water a dead plant or try to bring it back? [00:00:20] And instantly, I mean, instantly when he said that, I was like, oh, wow, that is great. I'm gonna do a podcast on this, right? [00:00:28] And the situation we were talking about is relationships, is that there gets a point in relationships, for men especially, that you deal with a lot. And you get to a point where once you feel nothing about the situation, you're talking to the other person, you're telling your partner how you feel, you're addressing things, and if she does not shift or try to accommodate or even try to understand where you're coming from, but is rebuttaling you, fighting you. [00:01:01] You try, you try, you try. And a lot of men try for years. And there comes a point where they're dead, they don't care anymore. And then their partner realizes, man, this man is probably the best thing that ever happened to me. [00:01:12] But however, that man, maybe even you, you're dead, right? You are that plant where you are already dead. It doesn't matter how much water they put in you, doesn't matter if they spent more money. It doesn't matter even if they change the soil, the. The roots, everything is dead. So there's nothing that can change. And all you have to do is get. Is literally throw that relationship out or throw that plant out and get a new one. [00:01:38] And in that same. In that same sense, I think my. My key takeaway when I was thinking about that is don't let things die. Don't let things get to a point to where they're dead and. And you can't revive them whatsoever, right? Work and fix things now and learn to communicate, Learn to even have those tough conversations, because the tough conversations are way cheaper than people pleasing or not having the conversation you need to have. All right? [00:02:08] So have those tough conversations, and that's going to keep you from getting dead or even your partner being dead. And it's going to be way more. [00:02:15] Way more effective and cheaper than divorce, than heartbreak or things you can't recover from, especially if you're a married man. All right? Hope you learned something. And this is just the beginning.
