“The ABC’s of Staying in Your Lane”
A) U.S. Swim Regulations state that a swimmer must start and finish the race in their designated lane!
B) Track & Field Regulations state that runners must stay in their assigned lane!
C) Road Work Ahead…drivers must stay in their lane!
D) The Game of Life works best when players know when to stay in their lane!
Do you see a pattern here? We aren’t meant to just zigzag all over the place, hogging all of the lanes, stepping on others’ toes, and getting distracted from our own lane goals. We can thrive if we evaluate what we’re good at, focus on our life’s purpose, and move forward in our designated lane.
Please don’t think that this means you can’t ever go out there and take on a new skill or hobby or adventure—we can tackle life and all of its opportunities without veering into other people’s lanes. Lanee's son is a competitive swimmer who has challenged himself with excelling at the Butterfly and the Freestyle strokes. Nothing wrong with him competing in 2 different events—as long as he doesn’t jump in and do the Butterfly during the Freestyle event!
Our lesson for today focuses on Balance and Self-Control—keep your eyes on the prize of what you’re meant to do, and let everyone else do their own thing in their own lane of life!
EPISODE TRANSCRIPT
Sandy Kovach [00:00:01]:
Life can throw a lot at you, but imagine if your life were different, better, not because of what's coming at you, but because of what's coming from you. Let's get there together.
Lanée Blaise [00:00:12]:
Join us and imagine yourself. How you doing out there, everyone? I'm Lanee, and I'm ready to play.
Sandy Kovach [00:00:17]:
Alright. Let's do it. I'm Sandy and, Lanae, what are we imagining for ourselves today?
Lanée Blaise [00:00:23]:
Well, before we get to imagining, do you have your goggles out?
Sandy Kovach [00:00:28]:
I don't think I own a pair of goggles.
Lanée Blaise [00:00:31]:
What about nose plugs?
Sandy Kovach [00:00:33]:
I don't have nose plugs either. I just when I go in the pool, I'm just, like, taking all kinds of chances.
Lanée Blaise [00:00:38]:
You got your swimsuit.
Sandy Kovach [00:00:39]:
I well, thank you.
Lanée Blaise [00:00:41]:
Okay. You got your swimsuit and your swim cap ready because we have swimming lessons today. I want to make sure everybody listening will get into their group. Are you backstroke swimmers, breaststroke, freestyle? Where's my butterfly swimmers? Once you choose which one you are doing, I want you to, imagine yourself knowing which lane you're in and knowing when to stay in your lane.
Sandy Kovach [00:01:11]:
Okay. So I'm gonna pick freestyle. How about that?
Lanée Blaise [00:01:14]:
Freestyle. That's a pretty good one. It means that you're gonna do your basic swim technique as opposed to those poor backstroke swimmers who have to swim. They can't even see where they're going. They're just backwards all over the place. Yeah. Yeah. So that's one of the ones you're gonna kinda stay away from because you know that's not your forte, your strong point.
Lanée Blaise [00:01:29]:
Right?
Sandy Kovach [00:01:30]:
That would not be cool.
Lanée Blaise [00:01:31]:
We wanted to talk about staying in your lane today because it's important for two reasons. First reason is we have enough to do in our own lives, in our own jobs, with our own stuff without thinking that we need to crane our neck over and be all up in somebody else's job, life, and stuff.
Sandy Kovach [00:02:00]:
And have something to say about it.
Lanée Blaise [00:02:01]:
Have something to say about it, try to fix it, try to jump into it. It's not cool.
Sandy Kovach [00:02:07]:
I don't have the bandwidth for that. Do you?
Lanée Blaise [00:02:09]:
No. I have my own life and family and things that I need to focus on that I would have been tasked with. I don't need to go over to Sandy's house and and put my fingers in her pots.
Sandy Kovach [00:02:22]:
Right. But yet, as we say this, we don't have the energy. We don't have the bandwidth, but I'm betting that we do do it sometime. We're all guilty of getting out of our lanes and into somebody else's occasionally.
Lanée Blaise [00:02:34]:
Either that or we know someone who does it to us, and we really, would like for them to stop. So if this is you and you're out there listening, please know how to stay in your own lane.
Sandy Kovach [00:02:48]:
Do you think people who get into other people's business do it out of honest concern, or do they do it because they are, I don't know, bored or they just I'm asking.
Lanée Blaise [00:03:00]:
I wonder if a lot of people sometimes, especially maybe ladies or mothers, do it as a nurturing way that that I can help you do this. I can do it better than you. I can make your life better. I can fix it Versus letting people live their lives and do it their way and find the excitement of learning and discovering.
Sandy Kovach [00:03:21]:
Well, there's some part that you do wanna help. Like, let's say there's the classic example of a mother-in-law, and maybe you have your first child and you haven't been through it before. The mother or mother-in-law can swoop in and sometimes go a little too far in meddling. And that would be a classic example, but they do it generally, I think, from good intentions. Correct?
Lanée Blaise [00:03:44]:
Well, here's the thing though. Let's add on top of that. The real essence sometimes of staying in your lane is from people who don't have the experience. So can you imagine your next door neighbor who has never had children her entire life coming over and trying to help you learn how to raise your child? That's when it gets really sticky. Yeah. When they don't have the expertise or the experience or the knowledge or anything, and they're still trying to come over in my lane. Okay. Alright.
Lanée Blaise [00:04:11]:
The one I'm getting at. The backstroke swimmers are over there doing their thing and you're freestyle and you're trying to come don't no. Don't do that. Alright. Okay. That's when it becomes something that I feel is very unliked or disrespected or I don't know. The person might feel very put off by it when you don't even know what you're talking about, but you're coming over here loudly. Right.
Sandy Kovach [00:04:34]:
And do you think that that's pretty common?
Lanée Blaise [00:04:37]:
I do. I there's a word for it. And many of you know this little word. It's people who get labeled as a busybody. Yeah. If they had concentrated on what they were good at and just focused on that and moved in that direction, instead of trying to look around and see where they could stick their foot and their influence, they would have been better off if they had really just chilled and stayed in their lane.
Sandy Kovach [00:05:04]:
That is an extreme example. Right? So we're talking about in this podcast staying in our own lane. So we need to recognize when we veer out of our lane as well.
Lanée Blaise [00:05:15]:
Yeah. In my opinion, it's really about setting boundaries for yourself. It's about self control. It's about learning that other people have to live their lives and also in the career world too. If you have been tasked with making sure that you do all of the IT work, why are you over there trying to manage the people who are in charge of
Sandy Kovach [00:05:41]:
Marketing. Marketing.
Lanée Blaise [00:05:42]:
Yes. Whatever. Yeah. Your field of expertise is making sure that the equipment and computers and everything is running good. You don't need to give them marketing advice with your limited you know, you've never done it before, and you're telling them how they can brand their business better. And sometimes you said that it Lanee is really a good natured thing, but other times, I wonder if it's someone trying to pump up themselves and just make them feel like they're a master of all trades when they're not.
Sandy Kovach [00:06:09]:
Right.
Lanée Blaise [00:06:09]:
And that's the part where you have to know when to diversify and when to stay in your lane. Mhmm. Because there's even this interesting bible verse about it where they're saying, because I'm not an eye, I do not belong to the body. But if the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? And if the whole body were an ear, what would the sense of smell be? You aren't meant to be everything to everybody in every circumstance. That's true. Supposed to do your job.
Sandy Kovach [00:06:39]:
So I I found this quote. It's kinda cute. Don't let your food get cold worrying about what's on somebody else's plate.
Lanée Blaise [00:06:47]:
Yeah.
Sandy Kovach [00:06:47]:
And it's that reminds me too about when you worry about what somebody else's plate or what somebody else is doing, that extends out a lot into the social media world.
Lanée Blaise [00:06:58]:
Yes.
Sandy Kovach [00:06:58]:
But people are putting their stuff out there. And when you put yourself out there, of course, people are gonna have an opinion about it. And another thing that I think is kind of interesting about staying in your own lane is what happens when you don't stay in your own lane, you end up comparing yourself
Lanée Blaise [00:07:14]:
Yes.
Sandy Kovach [00:07:15]:
To other people.
Lanée Blaise [00:07:16]:
And That's another social media incident that happens too, kind of a consequence of looking at Pinterest and looking at for too long. I mean it's it's good to get ideas right but Yeah. Even Facebook, everything and looking at everybody talks about this, how looking at other people's lives, it makes them feel like they're falling short or they sometimes, jealousy pops up because you're thinking about the other people, but enjoy theirs without having to compare against yours.
Sandy Kovach [00:07:46]:
And remember too, it's a highlight reel. People do post things that are negative that happened in their lives. But generally, when you are posting something on Instagram or Facebook or whatever, you know, you're getting that perfect Instagram moment with that perfect filter, and I'm out having dinner. Look at my beautiful dinner. Look at my beautiful family. And Yeah. It's their highlight reel. And you don't know what's really going on behind the scenes, not to say that you should know, but just keep that in mind and don't let feel like, wow.
Sandy Kovach [00:08:14]:
The Joneses are out on Saturday night again at this restaurant, and, honey, we never go out to eat.
Lanée Blaise [00:08:19]:
And that's when it becomes a problem. Then you're bringing that either jealousy or envy into your family and your home when you didn't need to. Yeah. And you should treat it. I love the fact. Treat it as a highlight reel. When you you know when you watch a highlight reel for sports, you know that there was a full game and there were definitely ups and downs, but you're getting to see all the most exciting parts, and you can enjoy that. Try to do the same for these are supposed to be your friends or family.
Sandy Kovach [00:08:45]:
Right. Exactly.
Lanée Blaise [00:08:46]:
See it and enjoy it and celebrate it, and then go back and and get back in your your own life and get back in your own life.
Sandy Kovach [00:08:53]:
That's right. We should be able to appreciate. I mean, I, like most moms, post stuff about my son's accomplishments and but I always wanna be careful not to go too overboard. Hashtag mom brag. Right? It's even it's got a name. Right? And we love our children. We we wanna post, but it's not like every mundane thing that we post about our family either. So enjoy like, I enjoy when I see something good happening for somebody's career or something good happening for their family.
Sandy Kovach [00:09:21]:
And I try to just appreciate that without saying, well, gee, I'm not in this place or my kids are you know, or
Lanée Blaise [00:09:29]:
child. Never meant to do that. When they sent that out, they did not intend to have people upset about anything that they posted. It's supposed to be for joy, a joyful celebration, not something to look at our own shortcomings. And that's that's something that we probably all need to work on also.
Sandy Kovach [00:09:50]:
And then people working out at the gym. You know? So co, I totally fall short in that. And sometimes it's hard. It's like, okay, day 30. I'm down £14, and I'm sitting there thinking while I'm eating my pop tart. Lanee not literally, but, you know, I should be doing that. So it's kinda good motivation, but at the same time, I should be cheering them on.
Lanée Blaise [00:10:11]:
Yeah. And again, using it as motivation for yourself and and deciding, I think I'll put the rest of this pop tart in a ziplock baggy and I'll get it later. You know, that's and then, you know and I'll do a few sit ups on the floor real quick.
Sandy Kovach [00:10:25]:
Yep. There you go. Burn the burn the pop tart off. But, no. So whether it's workouts or whether it's posting about your kids or you're going out to dinner, let's enjoy that from other people without worrying about how our lives may or may not stack up. Exactly.
Lanée Blaise [00:10:41]:
And then, also, this kind of leads to the other end because this is about knowing when to stay in your Lanee, but the other end of this is knowing when it's time to learn a few new moves and a few new strokes and get into a few new Lanee of your own. Okay. We are not meant to be 1 dimensional, but we are meant to learn how to, you know, my son, he does competitive swimming. So he does the freestyle, and he does the butterfly. Now he doesn't try to do the breaststroke because he's not good at it, or the, backstroke. He's another one's backwards. He's not really great at that part. But he didn't just stick with freestyle like he could've.
Lanée Blaise [00:11:25]:
He did branch out and do another one, and that's another component of knowing when to stay in your lane versus knowing when to add a little bit more to your own personal portfolio and your own personal lane. Okay. And some people have trouble with that. And maybe that's why they're kinda looking at things on social media and and having problems because maybe they're realizing that they have a little nudge within them, and they need to step up their game and learn a few new skills to put under their belt.
Sandy Kovach [00:11:53]:
And put down the pop tarts.
Lanée Blaise [00:11:54]:
Yeah. And put put down the pop tarts. Yeah. And just balance it all with a few extra things. And so that's the second part, the one where, bless us, sometimes there's some of us who have such big fears and so afraid to get into the water of life and find their, you know, their lane or find their second Lanee. And they just feel I struggle with this. Sometimes I feel like I'm not worthy enough. I'm not competent.
Lanée Blaise [00:12:22]:
I don't have enough confidence in myself to actually do something that I bet is part of what's one of my purposes in life. I have been a stay at home mom for years. And when it came time, you know, my kids were older, to step into the workforce, very intimidating, very overwhelming, and almost easier to just hide under the covers or, in this case, not get in the water not even get in the water.
Sandy Kovach [00:12:52]:
Yeah.
Lanée Blaise [00:12:52]:
But just tipping your big toe in there and then your leg and then go waist high and then eventually put your face. It's so rewarding when you finally get that courage and that oomph to try something new. So there's really a balance between staying in your lane. Some people can't they wanna do everything, and they're just all over the Lanee, and they're ridiculous. And some people only wanna stay in one tiny little comfortable place, and that can be ridiculous too.
Sandy Kovach [00:13:21]:
Yeah. So everybody is unique. What is good for one person is maybe not so much for somebody else. So instead of just staying in your own lane all the time, I mean, maybe you have to ask. Is there like a diversion that I can make without getting over into a territory that I don't belong? Like, you say your son found a different form of swimming that he enjoyed as well. Yes. And you are obviously finding some career aspirations? Myself. Yes.
Sandy Kovach [00:13:53]:
So you
Lanée Blaise [00:13:53]:
can take baby steps or whatever, but I found a few examples, Sandy, that everybody can maybe identify with. These were some major companies that everybody has heard about that ended up in some way or another failed publicly because they didn't have it balanced between staying in their lane. Okay. The first group is kind of that one that's that I can more identify with where they never really adapted or grew with the times and learned how to expand their lane or or do a little bit more within their Lanee, blockbuster video.
Sandy Kovach [00:14:35]:
Oh my gosh. There's, like, one more left, isn't it? In Australia or something or I can't remember. There's literally 1 Blockbuster left on Earth.
Lanée Blaise [00:14:42]:
When there used to be one on every single corner. Yes. And, you know, it's because they didn't either didn't realize they needed to adapt or couldn't adapt to digital devices and and digital in home services, and they just flopped.
Sandy Kovach [00:14:59]:
Could you imagine if they had been more proactive? They could have been Netflix.
Lanée Blaise [00:15:03]:
Well, how about Netflix offered them in, around 2000 the year 2000. They made them an offer, and they said, oh, Netflix is just some little tiny niche market.
Sandy Kovach [00:15:14]:
They Oh, no. They didn't.
Lanée Blaise [00:15:15]:
They did. They did. So that is a situation not only were they not willing to adapt, they didn't even take the lifesaver when they were throwing the, you know, a life belt.
Sandy Kovach [00:15:26]:
Lightsaber? Like, like, Star Wars?
Lanée Blaise [00:15:28]:
No. Light what's it called? Life what's
Sandy Kovach [00:15:29]:
it called? A life vest?
Lanée Blaise [00:15:31]:
Yeah. They didn't they didn't even take over the life vest when they were throwing throwing something to help him out.
Sandy Kovach [00:15:35]:
Or a lightsaber. They could have gotten to, you know
Lanée Blaise [00:15:37]:
It cut through.
Sandy Kovach [00:15:38]:
Yeah. I mean, that'll work for pretty much anything because they're cool. Yeah. But, alright. So there's Blockbuster. Yeah. That's a huge example. What else you got?
Lanée Blaise [00:15:46]:
I've got Polaroid cameras. Even though you see them now, you have to admit that Polaroid cameras and Kodak film and that whole, like, genre, I guess, of cameras kinda went out the window when digital cameras came to life. Yeah. Because you didn't have to go to the photo mart anymore and get your film developed. You had it right there. You can plug it into your computer, download your photos, get them printed. They just didn't again, it's the same thing with digital. They weren't able to adapt to digital devices.
Lanée Blaise [00:16:20]:
Yeah. And they just fell out.
Sandy Kovach [00:16:22]:
You think that they would've had an inn. Right? That if
Lanée Blaise [00:16:24]:
they just They were the originators of of it all, but they didn't diversify at all. Borders Bookstore, that's another one too. It just
Sandy Kovach [00:16:34]:
I used to love Borders when my son was little.
Lanée Blaise [00:16:36]:
Yeah. Yeah. And they just lost their edge because everybody was getting ebooks or getting them from Amazon. You know? So so things like that. Nothing wrong with that. But so those are just some of the ones that just couldn't keep up and didn't find new ways to recreate themselves and make themselves marketable. But I have some other failures the opposite way.
Sandy Kovach [00:16:58]:
I like that.
Lanée Blaise [00:16:59]:
Yeah. Folks that actually should have just stayed in their lane and stuck with what they do best. And the biggest one that I remember growing up was when Coca Cola Company decided to make new Coke. Oh, I remember that. Do you remember that? They had this formula. It was so sugary, sweet, nasty. Everybody hated it. They had done this big marketing push.
Lanée Blaise [00:17:24]:
Everybody liked Coke. Coke was fine. It was not in any danger. Why did they decide they decide they wanted to have new Coke?
Sandy Kovach [00:17:29]:
Something about taste tests that they were doing. I read about that somewhere, and I'm not sure because of their competition with Pepsi. And Pepsi was making inroads, But I'm not really sure. Anyway, go on.
Lanée Blaise [00:17:38]:
No. It's just a situation where Yeah. As you see now, both the regular old original Coke had to come back. They had to bring back original, and then Pepsi's. And it's fine to have 2 big competitors and Yeah. It's fine to have choices, and we've gone now for these decades decades of being able to choose between Coke and Pepsi, but they did not need to change their formula.
Sandy Kovach [00:17:58]:
No.,
Lanée Blaise [00:17:59]:
now that we see, of course, hindsight 2020, but the the other one was Frito Lay. Do you remember when they came out with Wow Chips?
Sandy Kovach [00:18:07]:
Wow Chips.
Lanée Blaise [00:18:08]:
With Olestra?
Sandy Kovach [00:18:09]:
Oh, and that caused all kinds of issues that we won't talk about. Yes. Nobody wants those issues.
Lanée Blaise [00:18:14]:
They got sued. They had side effects. It was just make regular chips.
Sandy Kovach [00:18:19]:
Yeah. You
Lanée Blaise [00:18:20]:
know, and eat them in moderation.
Sandy Kovach [00:18:22]:
Right.
Lanée Blaise [00:18:22]:
You know, that was another one. There's another one. It's not so much of an well, this was an epic fail too, I guess. But not too many people have heard about this one. This one, I had to do a little digging, but the makers of BIC who do ink pens and cigarette lighters and shaving razors, They wanted to launch disposable underwear. No. They didn't. Yes.
Lanée Blaise [00:18:44]:
They didn't.
Sandy Kovach [00:18:45]:
Oh. Yeah. Yeah.
Lanée Blaise [00:18:47]:
What were they doing? That wasn't in their lane. They do it.
Sandy Kovach [00:18:50]:
Not in their lane. If somebody wants to
Lanée Blaise [00:18:51]:
do Yeah. Let Fruit of the Loom do that. Let the Huggies diapers or fruit of the looms don't have an ink pen. Like, what? Like, what are you trying to do?
Sandy Kovach [00:19:03]:
Lanée Blaise [00:19:04]:
Did that even come to market? 1998, it did and failed so miserably that not too many people even know about that they tried.
Sandy Kovach [00:19:13]:
Now in this day and age, if something like that happened, that'd be all over social media.
Lanée Blaise [00:19:17]:
Yes.
Sandy Kovach [00:19:17]:
And there'd be memes and everything. So
Lanée Blaise [00:19:20]:
We'd be joking about it even harder than we are right now. No. Yeah.
Sandy Kovach [00:19:23]:
Alright.
Lanée Blaise [00:19:24]:
So and then then there's the this is the last one. This is the last one, but this is my actually, it's my favorite one. In 2005, Cheetos. Crunch, crunch,
Sandy Kovach [00:19:31]:
Cheetos. Love Cheetos. Terrible for you, but go ahead.
Lanée Blaise [00:19:35]:
How do you like Cheetos when they're, like, the orange y stuff is all over your fingers and your lips? Why did Cheetos come out with a Cheetos flavored and scented lip balm?
Sandy Kovach [00:19:46]:
What?
Lanée Blaise [00:19:47]:
In 2,005. And why did they think that was a good idea? That's Why did they think that should be in their lane?
Sandy Kovach [00:19:53]:
No. No. That's no. Yes. Okay. So these companies are examples or at least the last few that you gave are just examples of people that went off and did something that wasn't
Lanée Blaise [00:20:07]:
In their wheelhouse.
Sandy Kovach [00:20:09]:
In their wheelhouse. And then the blockbusters, those were more examples of not adapting or maybe staying too much in your lane. So you went from one extreme To the other. To the other extreme.
Lanée Blaise [00:20:18]:
And I feel that it's a very practical way that we can apply it to our own lives too
Sandy Kovach [00:20:23]:
Mhmm.
Lanée Blaise [00:20:24]:
Where we need to make sure that we don't become a blockbuster or we don't become a new Coke or a Cheetos lip balm. We really can Lanee.
Sandy Kovach [00:20:35]:
And we
Lanée Blaise [00:20:36]:
we don't wanna be a busy body. We don't want to be so unsure of ourselves that we don't try new things. There's a balance.
Sandy Kovach [00:20:44]:
We don't wanna compare ourselves to other people.
Lanée Blaise [00:20:47]:
Right. We don't want to look. We don't wanna spend another day looking at someone's social media and feeling bad when we see something joyful.
Sandy Kovach [00:20:57]:
We can get motivated and put down the pop tart.
Lanée Blaise [00:20:59]:
But Yes. And, yeah, do something else for ourselves. Find a new gym. Find a new workout partner. Do our own walking and healthy stuff. But we don't want to, if possible, not dare try to take the joy or the shine away from anybody else.
Sandy Kovach [00:21:17]:
That's right.
Lanée Blaise [00:21:17]:
And also not try to step into their kitchen, step into their world, and try to take over and do things that are meant for them to do.
Sandy Kovach [00:21:27]:
So what's our takeaways? Are we at takeaway time?
Lanée Blaise [00:21:30]:
We're at takeaway time. I have one little memento from my childhood to share in order to make sure we hit home with the takeaway. I was a tattletale as a child.
Sandy Kovach [00:21:43]:
No. Oh,
Lanée Blaise [00:21:44]:
I took every opportunity possible to tell what Marcus and Kim and Stephanie were doing as opposed to doing my own stuff. So one day, I'm, of course, trying to help my teacher because I can be a little mini teacher even though, once again, unsolicited. I was so busy watching and seeing what everyone else was doing and following where they were going so that I could come back and tell, and it backfired on me because while I was out there coming back reporting to the teacher and telling someone else's dirt, the teacher asked, why were you even over there yourself anyway? And I got busted, and I got in trouble. And eventually, I learned that I should have just stayed in my lane and let the teacher do her job and I do my job, which is to be a kid and play and do my homework and do what I'm supposed to do.
Sandy Kovach [00:22:33]:
That's right.
Lanée Blaise [00:22:33]:
So that's that's from the the takeaway from that, besides just our normal balance and self control, is sometimes these things backfire on your own life. So you need to please remember to keep watch over your own things instead of always trying to be your brother or your sister's keeper and watching what they're doing and even trying to find fault and trying to, you know, mess them up and get them into trouble. Yeah. That's nice. That's cool.
Sandy Kovach [00:23:01]:
I hope that adults don't do that.
Lanée Blaise [00:23:03]:
It's I mean, some people at work, you know, some little brown nosers or whatever, they just can't wait to go back and report back such and such. That's not your job. Your job is to is to turn in your reports and do your things.
Sandy Kovach [00:23:16]:
The way you said that, it makes me feel like you've been through that and know somebody.
Lanée Blaise [00:23:21]:
Well, here's the thing. It was I guess, maybe I didn't learn as good as a child, because it works sometimes when I knew I wasn't all that great at my job. If I could say such and such such wasn't their stuff either, then it, you know, made me look like like this is just we're all like this. It's terrible to this is bad, bad, bad things to admit. But, yeah, not cool, not good, not helpful, not the way to go.
Sandy Kovach [00:23:46]:
Alright. Tattletale.
Lanée Blaise [00:23:47]:
Yeah. Tattletale all the time. And then now there's nobody for me to tell on, I guess, so it's over.
Sandy Kovach [00:23:53]:
Well, if you see any pop tart wrappers around, you can tell on me.
Lanée Blaise [00:23:56]:
And say that you're my little Sandy. And and it's and it's okay to have a little pop tart every once in a while.
Sandy Kovach [00:24:03]:
Especially the brown sugar cinnamon.
Lanée Blaise [00:24:05]:
Yeah. And I see now we're now we're advertising for pop But, no, the biggest takeaway is just to remember, know who you are. Are you the type of person who needs to open up their eyes and their life and their hearts to new experiences and to new things and get yourself on the right road so that you can expand your Lanee? Or are you the type of person that needs to reel it back a little bit and make sure that you are actually focusing on the things set before you, your task that you are meant to do, that you're created to do, and that you can do best. And, overall, we just want to imagine yourself pulling on that swim cap and that swimsuit, sticking your toe out there around, in the water, and making sure that you go out there, you focus, and you do what you do best and you know exactly when you are supposed to stay in your own lane.
