Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hey, folks, it is Sunday, August tenth, and Roeboch went
deep into her bag last week to find our copes
of the day. Every day she dug one out from
Yoda and a Nobel Peace Prize winner, And with that,
welcome to this Sunday Inspiration edition of ABY and TJ,
where we go through give you a little more background
(00:23):
insights on our quotes of the day that we used
last week in robes. It was impressive last week, and
that is the truth. You got a Nobel Prize winner
in there and Yoda same week.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I try to mix it up. I try to get
inspiration from all different types of people, dead, alive, make
believe you name it.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Every most people have FI gears.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Sure we can learn from, yes, including Yoda himself. But
you know, Yoda's known for his wisdom, yes, and the way.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
He puts the wisdom oftentime. He reverses the subjects and
the verb right eat. I will like that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
He talks like that, Yes, but somehow by doing so
it makes it even more dramatic and more memorable. And
so yes, I thought it was great. In fact, the
reason why I picked this Yoda quote to start off
the week on Monday was because it reminded me of you.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Really. Yeah, all right, So to the first quote we go, and.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Here it is, do or do not? There is no
try Yoda.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I love that line. I use a version of this often,
do I not? Don't don't tell me I asked you
to do something. You tell me you'll give it a shot.
I'll try, No, don't, don't just do it, but don't
do it.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
You say, either do it or don't do it. Don't
tell me you're gonna try. Tell me you're gonna do it,
tell me you're not gonna do it, which is fine.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Don't. I don't give you credit for the attempt.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
You do not.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
You're very serious about that. You say this to me
at least once a week. So it was very funny.
As I was looking for a quote, I saw this
sage quote by Yoda and thought, wow, TJ is gonna
love this. This will start our Monday off right. And
sure enough you got a twinkle in your eye and
a big old while when you saw the quote.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
I liked it a lot. I'm trying to think and roll.
I know you're not gonna remember, so I'm not gonna
put you on the spot. But I should know which
Star Wars movie he said this in. It was Empire
strikes Back. I do believe, because he was trying to
train him Luke, and Luke wasn't buying it, like, hey,
(02:23):
I can't do that, that's too hard, and and he
asked him to do something. He said, Okay, I'll try.
He said nope, do or do not? There is no try. Yes,
it was Empire strikes Back. I think I got there right.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Why do you feel so strongly about that? What's wrong
with an attempt?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Because it leaves wiggle room. It leaves wiggle room for this.
I did my best thing, and that is okay. But
there's some people in just my mindset, I don't know
where I get it. I am going to go over
here and I am going to do this thing, or
I'm not going to do this thing. I'm not going
to attempt to do this thing. That could be a chock,
(03:00):
or it could be a job, it could be a
project at work. No, don't don't try. Don't tell me
you're gonna go in there and give this an attempt. No,
I'm going in here and I'm gonna get this done
for you, and that's it. I don't know. It's kind
of sick when I'm saying it out loud. It's kind
of twisted. But I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
It's a lot of pressure. I'll say that sometimes when
you just say you're gonna try, it doesn't mean you're
not giving your best. It doesn't mean you're not giving
your all. You're just taking some of the pressure off.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Okay, this is just semantics to you.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
It is just semantics to me.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Oh no, no, no, this is practice, this is actual. This is
just think about anything. Hey, I'm gonna go. We need
limes right now in the house. And if you leave
the house, say TJ and I say, baby, can you
give me some limes?
Speaker 2 (03:51):
I'll try because I can't promise. What if I can't
find the limes?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
No, bring me back the limes, or don't. If you
don't find him at the first store or the second,
you need to head to the third, the fourth, of
the fifth, because you're going to bring the lines because
you're not going to try. You're just gonna do it,
aren't you. Thank you? Yoda? Goodness Ella love them.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
You are on fire. Now see that quote? Just fired
you up?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
All right. So the next quote, This is from yes,
a Nobel Peace Prize winner born in eighteen seventy five.
You won't know his name, but I'll give it to
you anyway, Albert Schweitzer. And I've heard versions of this,
but I loved how he put it. Here is the
quote of the day from Tuesday. Success is not the
(04:37):
key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If
you love what you are doing, you will be successful. Period.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
And that one put me in a different mood, back
to back days. Yeah, I put poot this one a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
I remember, right you did. But see, here's the deal.
We all, I think a lot of us define success
by an accomplishment, an achievement, the money in your bank account.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
The promotion.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yes, correct, But actual success is being happy, right, I
mean that is successful. It doesn't matter. All the other
stuff really actually pales in comparison to how you feel.
If you are happy, if you are joyful, that is
success in life. Period. It doesn't matter where you live,
(05:24):
or what clothes you have, or what car you're driving.
That doesn't make you happy, for sure. It doesn't How
many miserable wealthy people have you met?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Nine out of ten of them.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Probably that's actually probably a true state.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
But I don't know. Look, we've people have different issues
here and there. I get where this is coming from.
I am maybe it's because I'm sitting in the sun
right now and I feel good and got good in it.
Maybe my mindset on this has turned around. But I
am now in one hundred percent agreement with this because
(05:59):
think about what is the thing that drives somebody crazy
about you? Because you have a nicer car, a nicer house,
because you have nicer clothes, You got better promotion, you
got more money. Yes, people can be jealous, but nothing
pisses somebody off more to look over and see you happy. Nothing,
(06:22):
And especially if you're the one with the nicer car
and now you're supposed to be the one doing better.
So why is this person lowered down the totem pole
from me over there? Happy as hell? That will drive
people grace?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah? And isn't don't they say? Happiness? Joy that comes
from being of service, It comes from helping others. That
comes from having a kind heart. It comes from investing
in other people and not just being worried about what
you don't have. How many times do I have to
remind myself and I tell my kids this too. It's
not what you don't have, it's not what you're not getting,
(06:54):
it's what you're not giving. And when you can really
switch things around and recognize that, when we get out
of our own heads and we get out of our
own way and we start thinking about being of service,
that is when true joy and happiness comes. What has
nothing to do with what we surround ourselves with or
the food we're eating or the car we're driving. It's
about how we treat people and how we treat ourselves.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
So folks keep that in mind. Success is not the
key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If
you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
That was Tuesday and Wednesday robes. You stuck with the
happiness theme. This was the longest or the worthiest to
maybe quote you ever have used, but it was so
simple it hits. I love this and it might have
(07:37):
been my favorite week.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Yeah, I said, I want to put a poster of
this on the wall, And if it wasn't so much,
I might even consider a tattoo. But it's way too much,
like you'd have to put this on your thigh or something.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
You would love leg tattoos.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Oh, I'm not a big fan of leg tattoos, so
that will not be happening.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
With if any of you have leg tattoos, do not
show up in shorts. If you're going to meet robot
out of meet and greet somewhere.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I just haven't seen what I like yet.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I don't know why she. I don't know she is
so anti leg tattoo.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
But I like tattoos. I just prefer them not on
your leg. All right, So here are the ten Steps
to happiness, according to Sylvia Duckworth, who is a Canadian
teacher and educator and author. She was like in the
classroom for thirty years, so I loved you. Probably had
a poster of this in her classroom. But she came
up with the ten Steps to happiness. Wait, she was
a what an educator, a teacher?
Speaker 1 (08:24):
You know what grade? What age?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I didn't look and see, but out of Canada. And
then she's written some books and illustrated so it looks
maybe younger kids.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Okay, I'm looking at this now. This sounds exactly what
someone who has been teaching young kids for years would
come up with.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Exactly, and it applies to every single adult and yourself
that you could even imagine. So here are Sylvia's ten
steps to happiness. Complain less, appreciate more, watch less, do more,
judge less, accept more, fear less, try more, talk less,
listen more, frown less, smile more, consume less, create more,
(09:05):
take less, give more, worry less, dance more, hate less,
love more.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
I asked you during the week which one of those
you needed needed to do better about you? Name too.
I'm gonna put you on the spot just one of those,
Which one of those you need to do the most
work on?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Judge less, accept more. That's my number one thing I
need to work.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Well, why do you say that?
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Because I think we're and I'm not talking about just
necessarily even judging other people, but judging the situation that
it's not what I wanted, it's not what I needed,
it's not what I wanted to happen. Instead, if you
just allow things to be what they are and just
accept them, the good, the bad, the ugly, the piece
you get from that is huge. But I it's still
something that I have to really concentrate and recognize when
(09:52):
I'm doing it, and it's just basically judging the situation
and having it not be what you want it to
be instead of just accepting it and giving yourself that
grace and peace. Which one do you think do you
need to work on the most?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
See I said it during the week as well. Complain less,
appreciate more. I am quick. I don't just walk around
complaining about everything going on in life. Actually I've done
great about accepting a situation, but I will too often.
You know, I'm awful about this. I have a schedule,
I have a plan, I have it laid out, I
(10:27):
have an expectation of how things are going to go.
And the only reason I end up getting upset and
complaining is when a human being does something to throw
that off. I can screw up my own stuff and
I'll keep flowing, but when I have to get other
people involved.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
It's true. When we wake up, you're like, what what
what are you doing today? What are we doing today?
And you want to know a plan right away? Yes, yes,
And sometimes I don't have the answers, and I can
see that frustrates you.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Yes, all right, and I get it. But that's one
area where I like, dude, shut up, she did her best.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I tried, I tried, j I tried. I tried to
tell you what the day was gonna look like. It
just didn't end up being what I thought it was. There,
you go, all right, But I love this and I
really do want to find a way to put this
up on the wall.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
So do that, folks, your key to happiness. Complain less,
appreciate more, watch, judge, fear, talk, frown, consume, take, worry,
hate less. But you need to do accept, try, listen, smile, create, give, dance,
and love more. I think the worry less dance more.
I think the dance more. I've gotten better about worrying
(11:42):
about stuff because I've you've gotten better. I really recognized
it's completely pointless. If we could, if we could all, folks,
if you could stop worrying about shit that's out of
your control, you would be shocked.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
And guess what's out of your control? Control almost everything.
The only thing you can control is how you respond.
I've even said I can't control how I feel sometimes,
but I can control how I act on those feelings.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
I have literally worried and waited for days to open
an envelope from the irs, and then I open it
up that oh it's night. Even what I was thinking
was I swear I've done that, like you worried, So
we're off. When I call him back, he's gonna da
da dah nothing. All the things you worry about, they
have to come depend right.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
How many times have you created like you're anticipating an
argument or someone's gonna say something to you, and you're
in the shower and you actually like create some sort
of contentious argument where you're prepared with your point a point,
and it never happens. It's hilarious how we all do that,
And it's just we're all we're doing is suffering and
choosing to suffer instead of choosing to dance more.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
All right, and folks, we got a Thursday and Friday
quote coming to you. Also, Robes has pulled out a
bonus quote. Hopefully by the time we give it to you,
the the ambulance will be done. In the background, he
don't know if you Walt can hear it, But we
are actually still sitting outside in the sun, enjoying a
beautiful landscape as we record today. So if you hear
(13:06):
any background noise, a little uh, some birds chirping, maybe
so leave.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
I was gonna say that felt a little bit more
like we were back in New York City with the
ambulance and the police, so that was just a little
touch of New York City while we're out far far away.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
But yes, but yes, we've given you Monday through Wednesday.
But the Thursday and Friday quote have to do with
the only disability that you have in life and the
next move you need to be making in life.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Before we go to break, I have to tell you
about new leggings I've been living in lately. They're from
this brand called Tona, and fun fact here, they were
actually designed by the same visionary behind Lulu Lemon, so
from that alone, you already know they're going to be
pretty good. These leggings feel like a second skin. They're
super flattering, super comfortable, and somehow still supportive. I've been
(13:54):
wearing them on my morning runs and they've quickly become
my everyday lounging legs too. And here's what makes them
even better. Every pair you buy helps fund a mental
health counseling session for a teen in need. Tona's on
a mission to end teen suicide and self harm, which
we think is so important and incredible. So we've partnered
with Tona to give you twenty percent off your order
(14:17):
and free shipping. Head to tonaactive dot com and use
code iHeart for twenty percent off and free shipping. Welcome
back everyone to your Sunday morning run where we are
going over our quotes of the week, plus we have
(14:39):
a bonus quote for you to start your week off right,
and we start with Scott Hamilton, you know, the Olympian,
the figure skater. I loved what he had. I've never
seen this quote before.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
The only disability in life is a bad attitude. We
get where he's coming from with that. I mean, how
much did we talk? You've used several and I think
and even in recent weeks, talking about how you can
can't remember, but you can change your day in a minute,
but just changing your attitude, and it is attitude is everything.
I had a very difficult struggle this way. I can't
(15:14):
remember which day it was, but I stopped a run.
I couldn't get it.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
It was Tuesday, was a.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Tuesday, not get it together. It was after you gave
me that crappy Tuesday quote I didn't like about success
meaning the key to happiness.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
That is true, but yeah, it took you. It took
you almost the whole day to get out of it.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
But that was all a matter of perspective and attitude. Yes,
I was exhausted. It doesn't help that I didn't get sleep.
But the point is I had a bad attitude and
it impacted my day, It impacted people around me day.
It so yeah, I'm on board with this. It's just
it's so simple, but it's something so hard to do.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
You know, I appreciate the fact that after the fact
you can dissect that and recognize it. We all do it.
We all have our days, we all have our moments.
But when you can actually even if it takes you
twenty four hours or forty eight hours or a week,
if you can go back and say, you know what,
I don't like how I chose to spend my time
that day, and I'm going to really try to recognize
it earlier and change my attitude. And it really is
(16:14):
sometimes just a decision you have to make. It takes
a lot of strength and a lot it's very difficult
in the moment, but the first key is recognizing when
you do it and then saying I don't want to
do that anymore. So I love this. It's empowering, but
also just a really cool perspective. I think when we
hear disability, we think it's some sort of physical limitation,
but no, this is a choice, and this is really
(16:38):
the only disability, and you can overcome it, but.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
It limits everything else you want to do in life.
If you have a bad attitude, and yes, I've got
I recognize it immediately. I started talking to you about
it immediately, and still couldn't get myself out of it.
I got immediately Okay, this is what's going on. I
know what's up. And I still couldn't bring I wasn't
mad at anybody, was taking anything out on anybody. I
just could not get out of my own way.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
It happens. We're human. We're human, and I think part
of those days are recognizing what we don't want to
do and making the change. But we don't change unless
we're uncomfortable. And sometimes discomfort is basically the whole point
of feeling it. It is it. The whole point of
feeling discomfort or being uncomfortable is to recognize that we
want to make changes, and so I think it's an
(17:24):
important part of life to be uncomfortable sometimes.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
So folks remember that the only disability in life is
a bad attitude. Thank you mister Scott Hamilton for that.
And then the Friday was another short, sweet, simple and
hugely impactful.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
That's right, this comes to us from an unknown source.
Your next move matters more than your last mistake. So
let's just go back to your Tuesday bad attitude. You
turned it around and you have actually had the most
amazing attitude for the days it followed. Right, So not
to harp on a bad moment or a bad move
(18:02):
or a bad decision, but when we start ruminating about
what we should have done or we could have done,
or what we didn't do or what we wished we
had done, now we're just continuing to suffer. So I
like the idea that you can put it in your
past and keep it in the rear view mirror because
your next move matters more than your last mistake.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Who is human nature? We can't help, but when you
make them. Anybody listening to us right now, think about
that mistake you made yesterday, Like, stop and think for
a second. You made some mistake, you screwed something up.
Have you spent more time thinking about that mistake than
you have about the next thing you're going to do
to maybe make up for it or do better the
(18:43):
next time. Are you still stuck on that mistake? That
is human nature to do so. But man, the only
thing that matters what you're doing next.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Exactly what you going to do next. Let it go,
Let it go, let it go. I mean that is
that freeing statement that I have to tell myself often,
like but it go, let them, Mel Robbins says, Gabby
Bernstein says, make the next right choice, like, these are
all things we can take with us when we're ruminating
and we're sitting and we're spinning and refrustrated. Make the
(19:12):
next best choice. So, yes, here's the quote for you
one more time. Your next move matters more than your
last mistake.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Hi, bonus quote for you. All that Robes has plucked out.
I'm seeing it for the first time right now. Not
sure how I feel about it, but I'll I'll listen
to it. I'll listen to you say it, and maybe
I'll feel differently about it.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Okay, So here's your bonus quote for the week. There
is only one thing more precious than time, and that's
who we spend it on. I love this because this
is basically I read it like this, This is not
just permission to but actually encouragement to know your boundaries,
(19:50):
to know when to say no, to know how many
of us get an invitation somewhere or to do something,
to be with someone and you know you don't want
to go, And then I try to ask myself, if
this were my last day on earth, would I spend
it with this person or in this way? And if
the answer is no, you probably shouldn't go. Because we
always think there's going to be the next time, or
(20:11):
the next moment or the next day, and who we
spend our time with, first of all, has a huge
impact on how we feel about everything. But this feeling
of guilt. Maybe women do this more, where we feel
like we have to say yes, or we have to
go with this person, or we have to spend time
with somebody who we don't really like or we don't
really want to be around. I struggle with this, so
(20:32):
I really liked this quote.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
I'm laughing now and your daughters giving me a hard
time about this later maybe, but we spend a lot
of time with them. Last week, got a house, we
got out of town. There's no long we talked about it.
We were in Montalk for the week, and then so
many conversations having with them were about their friends and
some issues. They have a beef with this person or
that person. Yeah, but I have to invite this person over, Like,
(20:55):
why you know you don't. Why do you feel obligated?
Why are you spending time with someone that I just
heard you for the past thirty minutes say you hate
what we mean? You have to spend time? No, you don't.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
I don't think men do this as much as women.
I really don't. I think I think women. I do
think this is a generalization, of course, but I do
think there is real truth to it. I find that
other women we have talked about this, we struggle with
feeling obligated to include people or to spend time with
people who we don't actually appreciate spending time with. And
(21:26):
it makes no sense. I get that. Why do you
do that because out of obligation you in particular, Yeah,
I think obligation and guilt. You don't want to hurt
the other person's feelings. You don't want the other person
to think you don't like them. You don't want them
to feel bad. So you go ahead and you suck
it up and you spend time with someone who don't
actually really want to spend time with I.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Am I certainly we're at a different age now. We
just don't have that kind of time And you have
every right, I argue to at this point to have
whatever boundary you want to have. And I don't find
it ever rude. You have seen me do this time
and again to the when it's uncomfortable. Oh, get uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
I'm wincing sometimes swift discomfort.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
So people flat Nope, I'm not going to do that.
I'm not interested, not something I want to do. Uh No,
we're probably not going to show up to that. Got
something else that night, got to you know what, I've
told it. I got a game that night. I'm not
coming to your thing. So we are well, And what
is wrong with having a boundary being an adult, saying
yes or no to where you want to go and
what you want to do. You can be considerate, you
(22:26):
can be polite, but at what point are you supposed
to sacrifice time and things you actually want to do
to spare someone's what feelings, the feelings of somebody you
don't even like.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
It, and they might not even recognize that you're doing that,
and be annoyed that you're there to begin with. So this,
this service, this thing you think you're doing actually might
not be benefiting anybody, especially not yourself. So I do
appreciate this. You're also and I've tried to get better
at this, but you're unapologetic about it. You don't need
to say you're sorry that you're not coming, or you're
(22:58):
sorry that you can't attend. You're actually not not at all.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
But I think that also often sets up a dynamic
in the relationship to where you feel like you have
to answer to that person. And now you're telling that
person you have to answer to them you have something
on Friday night. Nope, I won't be able to make it.
End of story. Your response has always come, oh, I
am so sorry, but I have a da da da da,
(23:24):
and then a da da da da. If I had
a da da da da, then maybe I could da
da da da.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
But that you get over explained, like why.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
You sound like you're making an excuse? What do you say,
Diane Sawyer all the time? What is the shortest sentence
but still a complete sentence?
Speaker 2 (23:41):
No? Yeah, no is a complete sentence.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
We're done.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
I'm still learning it, OK, But Leo Christopher, this author
who came up with this. I do like what he said,
and again I apologize that I have to somehow seek
permission from someone else to do what I actually want
to do. But that is what this quote does for me.
There's only one thing more precious than time, and that's
(24:06):
who we spend it on.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
See that last part. Spend it on and spend it
with can be two different things.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
True, but that's also where you're putting your focus. Whether
you know, whether you're buying a gift for someone or
planning a good party for someone, you're spending time on
that person.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Yeah, and I think that's a very good distinction to make,
and both can be legit. It's great to sit here
and spend time with you, But we spend our time
on a bunch of things. College students, our universities, we
spend time even though we're not often physically there, so
it still applies there as well. You would you know
what we I'm gonna insist on one Yoda quote a week.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I'll see what I can do. I'll see what I can.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Do well, folks, Well, if you got a little inspiration,
a little fun and maybe related a little bit to
some of that's back and forth with my dear Robot
and I, who I absolutely enjoy spending time with. And
I don't think there's maybe one other person I would
like to spend more time with than I spend with you.
What you understand that, So wherever you all may be,
hope you're enjoying who you're with and what you're doing.
(25:06):
We always appreciate you running with us. And Robes is
gonna man, you knocked out of the park this week.
You better have some good quotes this week.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I know I'm the pressures on, but I'm ready to deliver.
I'm not just gonna try, TJ. I am going to deliver,
and with that, I'm Amy Roebuck alongside t J.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Holmes.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Hope you all have a wonderful start to your week.
Hey, folks, it is Sunday, August tenth, and Roeboch went
deep into her bag last week to find our copes
of the day. Every day she dug one out from
Yoda and a Nobel Peace Prize winner, And with that,
welcome to this Sunday Inspiration edition of ABY and TJ,
where we go through give you a little more background
(00:23):
insights on our quotes of the day that we used
last week in robes. It was impressive last week, and
that is the truth. You got a Nobel Prize winner
in there and Yoda same week.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I try to mix it up. I try to get
inspiration from all different types of people, dead, alive, make
believe you name it.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Every most people have FI gears.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Sure we can learn from, yes, including Yoda himself. But
you know, Yoda's known for his wisdom, yes, and the way.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
He puts the wisdom oftentime. He reverses the subjects and
the verb right eat. I will like that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
He talks like that, Yes, but somehow by doing so
it makes it even more dramatic and more memorable. And
so yes, I thought it was great. In fact, the
reason why I picked this Yoda quote to start off
the week on Monday was because it reminded me of you.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Really. Yeah, all right, So to the first quote we go, and.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Here it is, do or do not? There is no
try Yoda.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I love that line. I use a version of this often,
do I not? Don't don't tell me I asked you
to do something. You tell me you'll give it a shot.
I'll try, No, don't, don't just do it, but don't
do it.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
You say, either do it or don't do it. Don't
tell me you're gonna try. Tell me you're gonna do it,
tell me you're not gonna do it, which is fine.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Don't. I don't give you credit for the attempt.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
You do not.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
You're very serious about that. You say this to me
at least once a week. So it was very funny.
As I was looking for a quote, I saw this
sage quote by Yoda and thought, wow, TJ is gonna
love this. This will start our Monday off right. And
sure enough you got a twinkle in your eye and
a big old while when you saw the quote.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
I liked it a lot. I'm trying to think and roll.
I know you're not gonna remember, so I'm not gonna
put you on the spot. But I should know which
Star Wars movie he said this in. It was Empire
strikes Back. I do believe, because he was trying to
train him Luke, and Luke wasn't buying it, like, hey,
(02:23):
I can't do that, that's too hard, and and he
asked him to do something. He said, Okay, I'll try.
He said nope, do or do not? There is no try. Yes,
it was Empire strikes Back. I think I got there right.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Why do you feel so strongly about that? What's wrong
with an attempt?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Because it leaves wiggle room. It leaves wiggle room for this.
I did my best thing, and that is okay. But
there's some people in just my mindset, I don't know
where I get it. I am going to go over
here and I am going to do this thing, or
I'm not going to do this thing. I'm not going
to attempt to do this thing. That could be a chock,
(03:00):
or it could be a job, it could be a
project at work. No, don't don't try. Don't tell me
you're gonna go in there and give this an attempt. No,
I'm going in here and I'm gonna get this done
for you, and that's it. I don't know. It's kind
of sick when I'm saying it out loud. It's kind
of twisted. But I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
It's a lot of pressure. I'll say that sometimes when
you just say you're gonna try, it doesn't mean you're
not giving your best. It doesn't mean you're not giving
your all. You're just taking some of the pressure off.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Okay, this is just semantics to you.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
It is just semantics to me.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Oh no, no, no, this is practice, this is actual. This is
just think about anything. Hey, I'm gonna go. We need
limes right now in the house. And if you leave
the house, say TJ and I say, baby, can you
give me some limes?
Speaker 2 (03:51):
I'll try because I can't promise. What if I can't
find the limes?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
No, bring me back the limes, or don't. If you
don't find him at the first store or the second,
you need to head to the third, the fourth, of
the fifth, because you're going to bring the lines because
you're not going to try. You're just gonna do it,
aren't you. Thank you? Yoda? Goodness Ella love them.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
You are on fire. Now see that quote? Just fired
you up?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
All right. So the next quote, This is from yes,
a Nobel Peace Prize winner born in eighteen seventy five.
You won't know his name, but I'll give it to
you anyway, Albert Schweitzer. And I've heard versions of this,
but I loved how he put it. Here is the
quote of the day from Tuesday. Success is not the
(04:37):
key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If
you love what you are doing, you will be successful. Period.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
And that one put me in a different mood, back
to back days. Yeah, I put poot this one a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
I remember, right you did. But see, here's the deal.
We all, I think a lot of us define success
by an accomplishment, an achievement, the money in your bank account.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
The promotion.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yes, correct, But actual success is being happy, right, I
mean that is successful. It doesn't matter. All the other
stuff really actually pales in comparison to how you feel.
If you are happy, if you are joyful, that is
success in life. Period. It doesn't matter where you live,
(05:24):
or what clothes you have, or what car you're driving.
That doesn't make you happy, for sure. It doesn't How
many miserable wealthy people have you met?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Nine out of ten of them.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Probably that's actually probably a true state.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
But I don't know. Look, we've people have different issues
here and there. I get where this is coming from.
I am maybe it's because I'm sitting in the sun
right now and I feel good and got good in it.
Maybe my mindset on this has turned around. But I
am now in one hundred percent agreement with this because
(05:59):
think about what is the thing that drives somebody crazy
about you? Because you have a nicer car, a nicer house,
because you have nicer clothes, You got better promotion, you
got more money. Yes, people can be jealous, but nothing
pisses somebody off more to look over and see you happy. Nothing,
(06:22):
And especially if you're the one with the nicer car
and now you're supposed to be the one doing better.
So why is this person lowered down the totem pole
from me over there? Happy as hell? That will drive
people grace?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah? And isn't don't they say? Happiness? Joy that comes
from being of service, It comes from helping others. That
comes from having a kind heart. It comes from investing
in other people and not just being worried about what
you don't have. How many times do I have to
remind myself and I tell my kids this too. It's
not what you don't have, it's not what you're not getting,
(06:54):
it's what you're not giving. And when you can really
switch things around and recognize that, when we get out
of our own heads and we get out of our
own way and we start thinking about being of service,
that is when true joy and happiness comes. What has
nothing to do with what we surround ourselves with or
the food we're eating or the car we're driving. It's
about how we treat people and how we treat ourselves.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
So folks keep that in mind. Success is not the
key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If
you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
That was Tuesday and Wednesday robes. You stuck with the
happiness theme. This was the longest or the worthiest to
maybe quote you ever have used, but it was so
simple it hits. I love this and it might have
(07:37):
been my favorite week.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Yeah, I said, I want to put a poster of
this on the wall, And if it wasn't so much,
I might even consider a tattoo. But it's way too much,
like you'd have to put this on your thigh or something.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
You would love leg tattoos.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Oh, I'm not a big fan of leg tattoos, so
that will not be happening.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
With if any of you have leg tattoos, do not
show up in shorts. If you're going to meet robot
out of meet and greet somewhere.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I just haven't seen what I like yet.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I don't know why she. I don't know she is
so anti leg tattoo.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
But I like tattoos. I just prefer them not on
your leg. All right, So here are the ten Steps
to happiness, according to Sylvia Duckworth, who is a Canadian
teacher and educator and author. She was like in the
classroom for thirty years, so I loved you. Probably had
a poster of this in her classroom. But she came
up with the ten Steps to happiness. Wait, she was
a what an educator, a teacher?
Speaker 1 (08:24):
You know what grade? What age?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I didn't look and see, but out of Canada. And
then she's written some books and illustrated so it looks
maybe younger kids.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Okay, I'm looking at this now. This sounds exactly what
someone who has been teaching young kids for years would
come up with.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Exactly, and it applies to every single adult and yourself
that you could even imagine. So here are Sylvia's ten
steps to happiness. Complain less, appreciate more, watch less, do more,
judge less, accept more, fear less, try more, talk less,
listen more, frown less, smile more, consume less, create more,
(09:05):
take less, give more, worry less, dance more, hate less,
love more.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
I asked you during the week which one of those
you needed needed to do better about you? Name too.
I'm gonna put you on the spot just one of those,
Which one of those you need to do the most
work on?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Judge less, accept more. That's my number one thing I
need to work.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Well, why do you say that?
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Because I think we're and I'm not talking about just
necessarily even judging other people, but judging the situation that
it's not what I wanted, it's not what I needed,
it's not what I wanted to happen. Instead, if you
just allow things to be what they are and just
accept them, the good, the bad, the ugly, the piece
you get from that is huge. But I it's still
something that I have to really concentrate and recognize when
(09:52):
I'm doing it, and it's just basically judging the situation
and having it not be what you want it to
be instead of just accepting it and giving yourself that
grace and peace. Which one do you think do you
need to work on the most?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
See I said it during the week as well. Complain less,
appreciate more. I am quick. I don't just walk around
complaining about everything going on in life. Actually I've done
great about accepting a situation, but I will too often.
You know, I'm awful about this. I have a schedule,
I have a plan, I have it laid out, I
(10:27):
have an expectation of how things are going to go.
And the only reason I end up getting upset and
complaining is when a human being does something to throw
that off. I can screw up my own stuff and
I'll keep flowing, but when I have to get other
people involved.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
It's true. When we wake up, you're like, what what
what are you doing today? What are we doing today?
And you want to know a plan right away? Yes, yes,
And sometimes I don't have the answers, and I can
see that frustrates you.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Yes, all right, and I get it. But that's one
area where I like, dude, shut up, she did her best.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I tried, I tried, j I tried. I tried to
tell you what the day was gonna look like. It
just didn't end up being what I thought it was. There,
you go, all right, But I love this and I
really do want to find a way to put this
up on the wall.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
So do that, folks, your key to happiness. Complain less,
appreciate more, watch, judge, fear, talk, frown, consume, take, worry,
hate less. But you need to do accept, try, listen, smile, create, give, dance,
and love more. I think the worry less dance more.
I think the dance more. I've gotten better about worrying
(11:42):
about stuff because I've you've gotten better. I really recognized
it's completely pointless. If we could, if we could all, folks,
if you could stop worrying about shit that's out of
your control, you would be shocked.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
And guess what's out of your control? Control almost everything.
The only thing you can control is how you respond.
I've even said I can't control how I feel sometimes,
but I can control how I act on those feelings.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
I have literally worried and waited for days to open
an envelope from the irs, and then I open it
up that oh it's night. Even what I was thinking
was I swear I've done that, like you worried, So
we're off. When I call him back, he's gonna da
da dah nothing. All the things you worry about, they
have to come depend right.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
How many times have you created like you're anticipating an
argument or someone's gonna say something to you, and you're
in the shower and you actually like create some sort
of contentious argument where you're prepared with your point a point,
and it never happens. It's hilarious how we all do that,
And it's just we're all we're doing is suffering and
choosing to suffer instead of choosing to dance more.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
All right, and folks, we got a Thursday and Friday
quote coming to you. Also, Robes has pulled out a
bonus quote. Hopefully by the time we give it to you,
the the ambulance will be done. In the background, he
don't know if you Walt can hear it, But we
are actually still sitting outside in the sun, enjoying a
beautiful landscape as we record today. So if you hear
(13:06):
any background noise, a little uh, some birds chirping, maybe
so leave.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
I was gonna say that felt a little bit more
like we were back in New York City with the
ambulance and the police, so that was just a little
touch of New York City while we're out far far away.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
But yes, but yes, we've given you Monday through Wednesday.
But the Thursday and Friday quote have to do with
the only disability that you have in life and the
next move you need to be making in life.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Before we go to break, I have to tell you
about new leggings I've been living in lately. They're from
this brand called Tona, and fun fact here, they were
actually designed by the same visionary behind Lulu Lemon, so
from that alone, you already know they're going to be
pretty good. These leggings feel like a second skin. They're
super flattering, super comfortable, and somehow still supportive. I've been
(13:54):
wearing them on my morning runs and they've quickly become
my everyday lounging legs too. And here's what makes them
even better. Every pair you buy helps fund a mental
health counseling session for a teen in need. Tona's on
a mission to end teen suicide and self harm, which
we think is so important and incredible. So we've partnered
with Tona to give you twenty percent off your order
(14:17):
and free shipping. Head to tonaactive dot com and use
code iHeart for twenty percent off and free shipping. Welcome
back everyone to your Sunday morning run where we are
going over our quotes of the week, plus we have
(14:39):
a bonus quote for you to start your week off right,
and we start with Scott Hamilton, you know, the Olympian,
the figure skater. I loved what he had. I've never
seen this quote before.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
The only disability in life is a bad attitude. We
get where he's coming from with that. I mean, how
much did we talk? You've used several and I think
and even in recent weeks, talking about how you can
can't remember, but you can change your day in a minute,
but just changing your attitude, and it is attitude is everything.
I had a very difficult struggle this way. I can't
(15:14):
remember which day it was, but I stopped a run.
I couldn't get it.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
It was Tuesday, was a.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Tuesday, not get it together. It was after you gave
me that crappy Tuesday quote I didn't like about success
meaning the key to happiness.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
That is true, but yeah, it took you. It took
you almost the whole day to get out of it.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
But that was all a matter of perspective and attitude. Yes,
I was exhausted. It doesn't help that I didn't get sleep.
But the point is I had a bad attitude and
it impacted my day, It impacted people around me day.
It so yeah, I'm on board with this. It's just
it's so simple, but it's something so hard to do.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
You know, I appreciate the fact that after the fact
you can dissect that and recognize it. We all do it.
We all have our days, we all have our moments.
But when you can actually even if it takes you
twenty four hours or forty eight hours or a week,
if you can go back and say, you know what,
I don't like how I chose to spend my time
that day, and I'm going to really try to recognize
it earlier and change my attitude. And it really is
(16:14):
sometimes just a decision you have to make. It takes
a lot of strength and a lot it's very difficult
in the moment, but the first key is recognizing when
you do it and then saying I don't want to
do that anymore. So I love this. It's empowering, but
also just a really cool perspective. I think when we
hear disability, we think it's some sort of physical limitation,
but no, this is a choice, and this is really
(16:38):
the only disability, and you can overcome it, but.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
It limits everything else you want to do in life.
If you have a bad attitude, and yes, I've got
I recognize it immediately. I started talking to you about
it immediately, and still couldn't get myself out of it.
I got immediately Okay, this is what's going on. I
know what's up. And I still couldn't bring I wasn't
mad at anybody, was taking anything out on anybody. I
just could not get out of my own way.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
It happens. We're human. We're human, and I think part
of those days are recognizing what we don't want to
do and making the change. But we don't change unless
we're uncomfortable. And sometimes discomfort is basically the whole point
of feeling it. It is it. The whole point of
feeling discomfort or being uncomfortable is to recognize that we
want to make changes, and so I think it's an
(17:24):
important part of life to be uncomfortable sometimes.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
So folks remember that the only disability in life is
a bad attitude. Thank you mister Scott Hamilton for that.
And then the Friday was another short, sweet, simple and
hugely impactful.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
That's right, this comes to us from an unknown source.
Your next move matters more than your last mistake. So
let's just go back to your Tuesday bad attitude. You
turned it around and you have actually had the most
amazing attitude for the days it followed. Right, So not
to harp on a bad moment or a bad move
(18:02):
or a bad decision, but when we start ruminating about
what we should have done or we could have done,
or what we didn't do or what we wished we
had done, now we're just continuing to suffer. So I
like the idea that you can put it in your
past and keep it in the rear view mirror because
your next move matters more than your last mistake.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Who is human nature? We can't help, but when you
make them. Anybody listening to us right now, think about
that mistake you made yesterday, Like, stop and think for
a second. You made some mistake, you screwed something up.
Have you spent more time thinking about that mistake than
you have about the next thing you're going to do
to maybe make up for it or do better the
(18:43):
next time. Are you still stuck on that mistake? That
is human nature to do so. But man, the only
thing that matters what you're doing next.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Exactly what you going to do next. Let it go,
Let it go, let it go. I mean that is
that freeing statement that I have to tell myself often,
like but it go, let them, Mel Robbins says, Gabby
Bernstein says, make the next right choice, like, these are
all things we can take with us when we're ruminating
and we're sitting and we're spinning and refrustrated. Make the
(19:12):
next best choice. So, yes, here's the quote for you
one more time. Your next move matters more than your
last mistake.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Hi, bonus quote for you. All that Robes has plucked out.
I'm seeing it for the first time right now. Not
sure how I feel about it, but I'll I'll listen
to it. I'll listen to you say it, and maybe
I'll feel differently about it.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Okay, So here's your bonus quote for the week. There
is only one thing more precious than time, and that's
who we spend it on. I love this because this
is basically I read it like this, This is not
just permission to but actually encouragement to know your boundaries,
(19:50):
to know when to say no, to know how many
of us get an invitation somewhere or to do something,
to be with someone and you know you don't want
to go, And then I try to ask myself, if
this were my last day on earth, would I spend
it with this person or in this way? And if
the answer is no, you probably shouldn't go. Because we
always think there's going to be the next time, or
(20:11):
the next moment or the next day, and who we
spend our time with, first of all, has a huge
impact on how we feel about everything. But this feeling
of guilt. Maybe women do this more, where we feel
like we have to say yes, or we have to
go with this person, or we have to spend time
with somebody who we don't really like or we don't
really want to be around. I struggle with this, so
(20:32):
I really liked this quote.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
I'm laughing now and your daughters giving me a hard
time about this later maybe, but we spend a lot
of time with them. Last week, got a house, we
got out of town. There's no long we talked about it.
We were in Montalk for the week, and then so
many conversations having with them were about their friends and
some issues. They have a beef with this person or
that person. Yeah, but I have to invite this person over, Like,
(20:55):
why you know you don't. Why do you feel obligated?
Why are you spending time with someone that I just
heard you for the past thirty minutes say you hate
what we mean? You have to spend time? No, you don't.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
I don't think men do this as much as women.
I really don't. I think I think women. I do
think this is a generalization, of course, but I do
think there is real truth to it. I find that
other women we have talked about this, we struggle with
feeling obligated to include people or to spend time with
people who we don't actually appreciate spending time with. And
(21:26):
it makes no sense. I get that. Why do you
do that because out of obligation you in particular, Yeah,
I think obligation and guilt. You don't want to hurt
the other person's feelings. You don't want the other person
to think you don't like them. You don't want them
to feel bad. So you go ahead and you suck
it up and you spend time with someone who don't
actually really want to spend time with I.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Am I certainly we're at a different age now. We
just don't have that kind of time And you have
every right, I argue to at this point to have
whatever boundary you want to have. And I don't find
it ever rude. You have seen me do this time
and again to the when it's uncomfortable. Oh, get uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
I'm wincing sometimes swift discomfort.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
So people flat Nope, I'm not going to do that.
I'm not interested, not something I want to do. Uh No,
we're probably not going to show up to that. Got
something else that night, got to you know what, I've
told it. I got a game that night. I'm not
coming to your thing. So we are well, And what
is wrong with having a boundary being an adult, saying
yes or no to where you want to go and
what you want to do. You can be considerate, you
(22:26):
can be polite, but at what point are you supposed
to sacrifice time and things you actually want to do
to spare someone's what feelings, the feelings of somebody you
don't even like.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
It, and they might not even recognize that you're doing that,
and be annoyed that you're there to begin with. So this,
this service, this thing you think you're doing actually might
not be benefiting anybody, especially not yourself. So I do
appreciate this. You're also and I've tried to get better
at this, but you're unapologetic about it. You don't need
to say you're sorry that you're not coming, or you're
(22:58):
sorry that you can't attend. You're actually not not at all.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
But I think that also often sets up a dynamic
in the relationship to where you feel like you have
to answer to that person. And now you're telling that
person you have to answer to them you have something
on Friday night. Nope, I won't be able to make it.
End of story. Your response has always come, oh, I
am so sorry, but I have a da da da da,
(23:24):
and then a da da da da. If I had
a da da da da, then maybe I could da
da da da.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
But that you get over explained, like why.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
You sound like you're making an excuse? What do you say,
Diane Sawyer all the time? What is the shortest sentence
but still a complete sentence?
Speaker 2 (23:41):
No? Yeah, no is a complete sentence.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
We're done.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
I'm still learning it, OK, But Leo Christopher, this author
who came up with this. I do like what he said,
and again I apologize that I have to somehow seek
permission from someone else to do what I actually want
to do. But that is what this quote does for me.
There's only one thing more precious than time, and that's
(24:06):
who we spend it on.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
See that last part. Spend it on and spend it
with can be two different things.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
True, but that's also where you're putting your focus. Whether
you know, whether you're buying a gift for someone or
planning a good party for someone, you're spending time on
that person.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Yeah, and I think that's a very good distinction to make,
and both can be legit. It's great to sit here
and spend time with you, But we spend our time
on a bunch of things. College students, our universities, we
spend time even though we're not often physically there, so
it still applies there as well. You would you know
what we I'm gonna insist on one Yoda quote a week.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I'll see what I can do. I'll see what I can.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Do well, folks, Well, if you got a little inspiration,
a little fun and maybe related a little bit to
some of that's back and forth with my dear Robot
and I, who I absolutely enjoy spending time with. And
I don't think there's maybe one other person I would
like to spend more time with than I spend with you.
What you understand that, So wherever you all may be,
hope you're enjoying who you're with and what you're doing.
(25:06):
We always appreciate you running with us. And Robes is
gonna man, you knocked out of the park this week.
You better have some good quotes this week.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I know I'm the pressures on, but I'm ready to deliver.
I'm not just gonna try, TJ. I am going to deliver,
and with that, I'm Amy Roebuck alongside t J.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Holmes.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Hope you all have a wonderful start to your week.
