    I've been listening for a long time now. I lost my Mother three years ago in February n I've had a very hard time being happy since n feeling like there's anything that will take away my sadness. The Lord showed me the day after, that he was taking her with him n that helped a lot but I still have this sadness in me that's been extremely hard to shake. Just wanted to tell you guys that finding you guys when I did, I believe the Lord guided me to you, has given me some of that happiness back and some purpose back in my life and I'm very grateful for truck talks, pod casts, the Chadd wright channel and everyone of you at 3 of 7. I love you guys n look forward to hearing you everyday. Thanks again

      I lost my momma suddenly, just before covid got started....It was jaw dropping, earth shattering,my man! I lean into the Lord and my family as much as I can. But, she wasn't even 54. I started having seizures and those stopped my heart twice in 2022. I wasn't handling well at all. It's been only the last few months and a book I have been reading( this isn't a plug), it's called R.G. LeTourneau
      Movers of Men and Mountains. It's a Christians story/testimony, that I have had for a long time, and it's really helped me start putting some things together in Mt head. I will be praying for you man. And I do recommend that book for a Christian, it's character building reading.

    I’ve already lived a long life. As a young man I served my country in the military. I worked in a career for the next fifty years that allowed me to support a life style that was comfortable. If there would be any advice I could give, it would be to learn a skill that you enjoy doing, then be the best you can at doing it. And be a person of worth, not necessarily wealth. Be trustworthy, and honest.

  • @Brett235
    @Brett235 Рік тому +95

    One thing I can say that I've learned in 46 years is to not be selfish with our time, resources or skills. If someone needs help, help them. If someone is down help them get back up even if it costs you money and time. We are here to help people. We're not here to be self absorbed. Love one another and be good to each other. If someone hates me I love them harder, I pray for them and try to help them. Just be a good person in this life.

    Thanks brother. This hit hard. Good timing. I've wasted much of my life. Let too many bad habits control me for decades. So now I'm sprinting to catch up. The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The next best time is now...

      @bretsullivan3969 Рік тому +2

      40 isn't too late. I'm 44 and having some hard realizations myself. God can do amazing things with a yielded heart. Jump in His word and seek Him while there's time. Link up with some true believers that can help you along the way. Become the person He created you to be. The career is secondary to becoming a solid individual in Him first. Proverbs 3:5, 6

      I don't recommend 100 mile runs. I seem to recall an old coach telling me he had heart problems possibly caused by overdoing things. Also lots of people end up with hip joint, knee, and foot problems. Sure it may be due to a lack of exercise but it can also come from over doing it.

    Wise advice from a wise man. Best thing I ever did was come back to Jesus at age 25. I had to work hard for 8 years to catch up. But good thing was God “directed my steps” and gave me the strength to stay on the right path. God is faithful and won’t let you down.

    Having experience in a lot of suffering, stupid decisions, and downright almost giving up along the way, I wish that people would watch your older video "Just keep going" and this video first, the grind is long to any kind of change and most people give up before the real change starts. Easy, not even close, possible, absolutely. I wonder how many guys rang that bell at training, think about it every day and never know. I know plenty of people ring out on life every day. I will not. I cannot tell you how many times these vids have me with tears rolling down my face. Thank's for all you guys do.

    One of the best of the best Truck Talks Chadd! Making points with actual real life circumstances is in my humble opinion the best way to teach and for those with open minds to learn. Thank you again for this .. I've kept Chili in the dungeon many times and will again soon.
