We are gathering here today to get through this thing
called life. You are listening to the Reset Yourself, What
(00:55):
Need You Podcast with your host Jimmy Gunzalas.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
And thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Let's
get up a little bit volume. Appreciate it. So this
is the Reset Yourself twenty two podcast. And what more
can I say? That life is great? I went to
(01:27):
the doctor yesterday and I was on some heart medications whatever,
but basically did ANYKG, which was hilarious because such something
weird to share. But by end of the appointment, I
had three women trying to shave parts of my chest
to get those little sticky things to stick. And then
(01:52):
finally once they got it done, this is the doctor
and two nurses. The actual EKG machine wouldn't print and
that turned into a mess, and it was you. You're
just standing there, you can't help but laugh. But when
all of a sudden the making day was great. So
isn't that all that matters? So welcome, welcome, Welcome to
(02:12):
this weekly podcast. I focus for those my newbies, I
focus on sparking your inner confidence and igniting your belief
in yourself. I am your host and I am always
extremely thrilled to share my thoughts and research with you
as we go along on this journey. Together, we us
can nurture a mindset that empowers us to reach our
(02:34):
fullest potential. I write a record every episode with your
challenge you're thinking and to encourage you me Henry to
reflect and inspire actionable steps towards our personal growth, whether
you're facing a career transition, seeking to overcome just some
challenges that you want to deal with, or simply striving
(02:56):
for greater fulfillment in life, which I hope that's what
you do every day. Greater fulfillment in life. This podcast
has been for many a lot more than I can imagine,
which is a beautiful thing, but maybe hopefully for you
if you're a newbie, can be your go to resource
from motivation and practical insights. My inspiration to do this
(03:19):
show is to teach people to focus more on what
they can can accomplish can accomplish so they do the
things they need to do when you need to do them,
instead of complaining and bitching so that you ultimately get
(03:40):
the things that you want when you wish to have them.
That involved and this one, this episode is dedicated to you.
You over there, let me know if you get out
(04:00):
who you are. But tell me what you want, Tell
me what you want, and I will show you how
to get it. Jimmie, It's not that easy, guess what
it is a lot of people have this thing that
they think it's easier to just bitch and complain and
complain and bitch. And if you can create the habits
(04:21):
of complaining and bitching, you can create the habits of
working hard, striving and succeeding. It's the same thing. It's
a ball of energy. What do you want to do
with your ball of energy is up to you. If
you want to wake up today and have a great day,
you will. Even if shit hits the fan, you will
because it's your perception. Things didn't go exactly how you
want it, but it's your perception of Well, I guess
(04:44):
this had to happen. My car had to break down
because I wasn't supposed to go to work, Because this
and this and this we're supposed to happen. Hopefully, Hopefully
that happens to you, because my God, that happens to
me multiple times a day. I like to think of it.
It's a personal thing. I like to call it. My angels.
(05:06):
They're always watching over me. They always make sure that,
like a light is turned off. They always make sure
that a plug that is too hot is checked because
something fell behind there. Instead of complaining that I drop
something when I reach down and I go to touch
that plug, I'm like, hey, this plug happens to be
too hot. Or I could have just focused my energy
(05:27):
on the fact that I'm stupid because I drop something.
It's go through life without the blinders on, okay, and
just go with the flow. And as things land on
your lap, see them from what they are. And when
you start to live life like that, and when you
(05:48):
start to live life like that and it becomes habitual,
it's just it becomes mainstream. It's just how you think.
And even when the worst case scenarios happen, it doesn't
in phase you at all. I have nothing to complain about.
I have nothing to complain about today. I want to
take this moment I worked on. For those of you
(06:12):
that don't know, my meditations and my podcast are very
similar in topic and theme. So I was working on
a meditation that I really liked the topic a lot,
so I brought it over to my podcast. So, as
you will tell, it's not your typical sounding podcast, it's
a little bit different. I ask you to do certain
things throughout it. If you can sit somewhere and listen
(06:36):
to it, and you know, close your eyes while you
do certain parts. That's fine from my expert dog walkers
that listen to me while you're walking your dogs. Just
daydream while you do it, but focus on the safety
of the dog and yourself, of course. So I asked
that you begin by breathing, breathing slowly. You're like, but
(07:00):
I am no, actually like focusing on your breath. Let's
do this together. Focus on your breath. Let the world
around you just blur for a moment. Even if you're driving,
you're still focused on the road, but you're just not
(07:23):
focused on the bullshit of the road and the nonsense
that's being said on the radio, and you know, the
road rage and all that stuff, and the fact that,
oh my god, I missed a turn. Who cares? What
(07:44):
I'm about to take you through isn't your typical as
I would say a meditation or even a podcast pep talk.
This is something different. I asked that you imagine meeting
someone in your life. You could see them at the
end of a hallway. When I used to meditations in Connecticut,
(08:06):
I always pictured a park bench which was so beautiful.
I have the picture somewhere. I have to find it.
At seven Rock Park Beach and it was cool because
it's just like you're walking through the parking house and
you look out and you see like the edge of
the land goes up, comes around, and then out there
(08:28):
there's two trees and in the center of the trees
there's just a bench covered by all the leaves. And
I used to love to go sit there, and it
was a popular bench because I got to the point
that it started to like bend. But I always picture
meeting someone there. So for you, it could be anywhere.
It could be a porch swing, it could be a swing,
(08:48):
a regular swing and a playground near you. It could
be anywhere. But I want you because I'm going to
invite somebody into your current life, someone you know well
or sadly, maybe someone that you haven't met at all.
(09:11):
What I'm asking you to do is meet the person
that you could have been, the person who chased down
every dream, faced every fear head on, the person who
took risks that made their heart pound and their hands sweat,
(09:34):
the one who didn't settle for good enough. Or maybe
someday we all have that person in our lives because
we all go through the ups and downs of life
and our emotions. And you know, a lot of us remember, oh,
when I was in high school, I was a firecracker,
or when I was in grammar school, I wanted to
do it all, or you know when I was before
before I met so and so, or before I got
(09:57):
lost in this job. That's just destroying my life. I
was a different person, which, if you think about it,
what I just brought up was things outside of your control.
You could have controlled them. You could have not let
them in as much as you did. You could have
not have let it eaten you as like a cancer.
So you had a shitty job, so you're in a
(10:20):
shitty relationship. It happens, and if it hasn't happened, and
I hope it doesn't, but chances are, I guess what
it's probably going to long life. It's a long ride
ups and downs, and honestly, I love my downs just
as much as my ups. To me, the downs are
(10:43):
more challenging the ups you get it's almost like you
take them for granted and you're just like everything day
is great and every day is great. And then by
day three, day four, you're just like, it is what
it is, and it's like, no, it's not, it is
what it is. Take every day, every moment, and be grateful,
be grateful. I have a bowl here of fruit and yogurt.
(11:04):
I'm very grateful for it. I have honey on it,
I have cinnam on it, some granola I'm very grateful for.
I have my cup of coffee. I'm very grateful for.
I have my time here with my co producer who's
always watching, and I'm very grateful I have I have.
I have two coops of chickens. I have the adults,
(11:25):
which are Rhode Island reds. They're like big, like dark red.
And then I have my wild Bunch, which are a
bunch of crazy looking chickens which have gone from a
few different places, and they're in the far corner coop.
I call them my teenagers. And over the weekend I
actually cut open a door for them so they can
(11:46):
come out. So there's you know, that's two different types
of chickens intermingling. Well here you go, so can you
see that? Probably not way Yeah there you got there
you go. See I'm going up and down the ramp.
Uh yeah, sorry sorry, sorry, so sorry. I had had
(12:06):
it for a minute. There you go. So they're more colorful,
a lot taller. But you know, I watched them to
make sure that. Of course they're going to fight, not
to the death, but they do like the whole Ninja thing,
and they jump over each other trying to show their
(12:26):
their their madness. It's kind of it's actually funny. And
the hens just stay around like I'm not getting involved.
They're smart. But I I I ask let's get back
to this. I asked that I love I love my chickens,
as you can tell. But this is what makes me happy, uh,
(12:50):
dealing with being blessed with animals. But the question to you,
which is funny for me, it's my mother in the barn.
I've thought of her because my mother always wanted chickens
her entire life, and she passed and she never got
to have a coop. So my chicken coop, my daughter
made a beautiful sighn that says Raquel's coop. So she's
(13:13):
the one. Whenever I'm out there daydream I think of her.
What would she say? What would she think? But this
is more now turning it back on you, the actual
you that allowed life to kick your ass, to knock
(13:33):
you down, to push you off your path, and now
here you go anew you, a different you, hopefully better.
But maybe because of life, you allowed it's ups and
downs and things and thangs to change your perception of
your life. Maybe you're not as happier. You feel that
(13:56):
you just don't have the drive anymore, the guts anymore,
the glory. Now you're just numb and an autopilot. I
mean if I'm sorry, but I mean if you wake
up every day and you have the exact same routine
and you do the same thing, and you know, the
(14:16):
week goes by and Monday and then all of a
sudden people are like, oh, the week went by. Which
is funny because somebody just recently said to me, oh,
that was a quick weekend, and I was like, actually
it wasn't. It wasn't. My time here in Kentucky has
slowed down dramatically. Why because I wake up early, I
go to bed early, and I appreciate every cloud in
the sky, whether it's bright and fluffy and white or
(14:39):
dark and gray and filled with rain and lightning. I
appreciate every single thing. I appreciate every the dusk. I
appreciate the dawn. I appreciate the bats at night. I
watched him fly right over my head. I appreciate it,
and I'm very thankful for that. So was I ever
off of my Oh god, God, Yes, I've gone off
(15:03):
my path quite a few times, usually because of others.
Others control other's opinions. And I like to say that
as you get older, you get wiser, and you start
to value your time and your beliefs and start to
focus on what you want in your life. So right now,
(15:28):
I'm asking you to imagine yourself sitting somewhere with the
person you could have been, see them standing or sitting
next to you, maybe a little older, maybe younger, but
unmistakably that person that you're looking at right now is you.
And the first thing that you'll notice is that there's
something different in their eyes, something fear, something sad, something free.
(15:58):
What do you say to them? What do they say
to you. This isn't about guilt, it's not about shame.
It's about truth. Because the person you could have been,
the one who lives in that shadowy world of the
what if, carries a lot of stories, stories of courage,
(16:22):
stories of heartbreak, stories of wild, untamed possibilities. And today,
today you're about to hear some of them. Wherever you are.
They're sitting next to you, across from you, and the
energy is a little charged. There's a weight in the air,
(16:42):
not heavy, but expectant, like the moment just before a
thunderstorm breaks. I love that energy. You notice the details,
the way they hold themselves. This is the person you
could have been, standing up straight, more confident. Maybe you,
(17:05):
looking at them, have a flicker of envy or regrets
or something you can't quite name. Maybe you're wondering how
you got where you are now today, Who veered you off,
who pissed you off? Nobody did that, Nobody did that.
The many roads that you just chose to not take,
(17:29):
the comfort zone that you prefer to stay in because
it's easier. I don't have to think, I don't have
to work, I don't have to do anything. But here's
the twist. The person the when you're meeting, has one
question for you, one question that cuts through all the noise,
all the excuses, all the reasons you tell why yourself,
(17:49):
why you haven't accomplished the things you want to do.
They ask you, why did you wait so long? Why
are you still doing nothing? Why do you still spend
your time complaining about something that happened fifteen, twenty, thirty
(18:11):
years ago? Why do you wait? What is fear? Comfort, doubt?
There are voices of others telling you what you could
or couldn't do, or maybe the weight of responsibility, or
simply the habit of staying in place because it's just easier.
(18:32):
This isn't judgment. It isn't judgment. It's a mirror because
every single day you wait, every moment you choose not now,
not yet, tomorrow, this weekend, I'll get to it at
another time. You know, that person you could have been
(18:54):
gets a little further away because they're like, I chose
not to. I chose to get off my ass and
do the things that I wanted to do, and then
that one thing happened that punched you in the face,
and now you complain your your spouse, your ex spouse,
your your boss, your ex boss, your parents, when you're
(19:16):
gonna stop that person that you're meeting right now. They're
not some mythical figure living in a far off universe.
You're not a ghost a shadow. They are you, or
were you, right here, right now. They live inside your
choices today, in the small moments where you decide to
(19:38):
push a little harder, speak a little louder, or take
one more step forward. They are the energy you bring
to your dreams, the courage to break the pattern, the
grit to say no more waiting. I'm not gonna wait anymore.
(19:58):
What are you waiting for? Oh, you're gonna wait until
finally you decide I'm gonna do it today, and then
God forbid. A doctor tells you you have six weeks
to live. Yeah, and then you're jumping off. But I
think it's hilarious people do that. It's like, Oh, I
found out I had six months to live, so I
got divorced, I left my wife, I bought a condo
(20:19):
on the beach. I jog every day, I jump out
of planes, I change my career. Why what are you
waiting for? The only thing holding you back is you?
(20:41):
Not money? Because that's my favorite it's money. No, it's
not money. It's called laziness. It's called get off your ass.
Imagine now the two of you sitting there, the you
(21:03):
who has lived cautiously in fear of your own shadow,
and then the you at some point in your life,
think about it, that just took a risk, wasn't afraid
to speak their mind, wasn't afraid to just get up
and go. Because I hear stories of people that I
(21:26):
feel now are like, uh, chickens cowards, and they'll tell you, oh, yeah,
when I was eighteen, I was a spitfire, I was
a firecracker. I would do this, and I would do
half of the time. It's hard to believe that because
what happened, and here's the best thing about it, because
(21:48):
at least I would respect them to like, whoa, what
happened was abst No, they just go, you know, and
it's like, wow, So you are You are putting your
life on autopilot and living like a zombie, a numb zombie,
because I don't know. So you don't value your life.
You don't value the life that God has given you,
(22:10):
the universe has granted you, and it's beauty every single day.
Instead you'd rather live in fear of your shadow, waiting
for in fear of winter coming. And it's funny because
all you do is pushed away this person that you
(22:31):
when you, as you say, you were confident and you
had your shit together, you pushed him away further and further.
So it wasn't like five years ago. It was twenty
years ago, was thirty year when I was forty, When
I was fourteen, I was crazy. Now I'm just a coward.
Why because somebody broke your heart when you were twenty seven,
(22:51):
because you got fired or embarrassed somewhere. That's just a
state of mind. You do understand that it's a scar
that you It's a mental scar that you keep tugging
at instead of allowing it the really being open to it.
Go Okay, I did X, Y and Z, I did
some stupid shit and I did some stupid ship. But
(23:17):
it doesn't it's not it's not who. It doesn't define me.
So now I learn from that stupid ship, and now
I go forward forward hold that image of the person
that you were, that confident person that had their ship together,
because this meeting isn't about defeat or victory. It's about
the possibilities, the endless opportunities. It's about knowing deep down
(23:41):
that the path you are on can change right now,
right now, you can change your entire fucking life right now.
And if your first thought to that was some bullshit, excuse,
shame on you, Shame on you. It's about knowing deep
(24:05):
down that the path you're on can change, that every
moment is an invitation to step closer to the person
that you could be, the person that you want to be,
the person that you choose to be. And here's the
challenge for today. What's one small choice you can make
right now, in this moment that honors the person that
you just met. That person is looking at you, going
(24:27):
get off your ass and do something, but instead you're embarrassed.
You're like, yeah, but you know, you know, I'm too old,
I'm too I'm too this, I'm too that, I'm My
back hurts, my legs hurt my you know, I don't
have money, I don't have time, I don't such a
crock of shit. Yes, I'm calling you out. It's a
(24:50):
crock of shit, and it's a shame because, like I said,
obviously you don't honor your life, you don't love everything
around you. It's easy if you just make a complaint
and then just hide somewhere from your shadow and just
put on the boob tube and just stare instead of chasing,
(25:11):
chasing something, chasing a hobby or hobbies, volunteering, but you know,
not just showing up, actually accomplishing things, making waves, sharing
of yourself in many ways and more than they expected.
(25:35):
Maybe it's a call that you've been putting off. Maybe
it's speaking the truth that you've hidden. Maybe it's simply
standing up a little bit taller, looking fear in the
eye and saying not today. Maybe it's a call to
move mountains, or you know what, a molehill. It doesn't
(25:59):
have to be huge. It could be something small. I
usually tell people before you start jumping off of planes,
do something smaller, test yourself, test the waters. I'm not
one to just jump into a lake first. You know
how many people have broken their necks doing that. I
would just jump into the water and kind of swim around,
(26:20):
see what's under there, talk to other people, watch them.
So I believe in taking risks, but educated risks, because
the day you meet the person you could have been
isn't today to fear it's a day to prepare for,
to live for. When you're ready. When you're ready, you
get up, you go. It's exciting. I'm gonna do some
(26:46):
crazy shit today. I'm gonna try this. I'm gonna try that.
I'm gonna do things I've never done. I'm gonna try
foods that I've never tried. I'm gonna drive a different
that's I'm for those that know me well. I'm not
one to take the same way every day. I just
think it mikes life boring. I just don't like to.
(27:08):
I like to take different routes, different paths, you know,
even even the gym. I usually go through this door.
Sometimes I go through that door. The other day, I
there's I go to Planet Finnish, either to Planet Fitness
at Campbellsville or Planet Finnis in Elizabeth tom And the
other day I went to Planet Fitnis in Bowling Green. Wow. No,
(27:33):
they're not all the same. And this one is a
lot nicer. This one has a lot more different equipment
that I'm not used to that I actually prefer. I
was impressed. I took the risks, new gym, new locker,
new people, and then I walked around the strip mall
that it's in. It's Bowling Green, is is. I love
(27:54):
Bowling Green more than I thought I would. I really
like Bowling Green. But it's funny because Bowling Green is
that you think it's a city. You've heard Bowling Green, Kentucky.
But the funny thing is zoning is weird. It's like
on a beautiful street you have mansion, you have mansion,
you have a ranch, then you have a cape, then
(28:17):
you have a mansion, then you have a mobile home,
and then you have cows, and then you have a
dollar General. Because they're everywhere. Very weird, but it's good energy.
It's a great energy. So I every time I go there,
and every time i'm driving there, I take I just
go through different streets. I just try different ways to
get to the same place. I never get lost. I
(28:38):
mean it's kind of impossible to get lost. But it's
every time I go, I learned something new, or I
meet somebody new, or I independing a conversation with somebody.
That's pretty cool. Again, having you focus on the person
(28:59):
that you could have been, whether like I said, whether
it was five, ten, twenty, thirty, forty years ago, the
person that that aspire to try to accomplish, to succeed.
I'm not here to blame you. I'm here because I
want you to see again what is possible, to remind
you that you're not trapped. Remember until game is over,
(29:26):
game is not over. Because there are people that have
been in in tremendous accidents, have lost almost everything, and
they get right back on their horses, start riding. They
don't surrender, They don't blame. I mean, you might feel
(29:48):
a swell of emotion thinking about this, like you know,
it's not targeting you now, but you may be feeling guilt, hope, frustration,
maybe even relief listening to this and going, huh, maybe
I do have of course you have a chance. Of
course you have a chance. Understand that this other you,
person you could have been, should have been, were This
(30:10):
other you knows every roadblock that you have faced. They
know you. It's you. Every setback that knocked the wind
out of your sails. They don't dismiss those struggles. They
honor them. But they also asked the hardest question of all,
what kept you from stepping forward? What kept you from
(30:33):
trying again? When did fear get louder than your voice?
I love that sentence that question, when did fear? When
did you allow your fear to get louder than your voice?
When did the need for comfort drawn out the call
(30:55):
to grow, to aspire, to succeed. This isn't about making
you feel small. It's about lighting a fucking fire under
your your ass and saying that sometimes we don't realize
until all of a sudden it's December again, and of
(31:20):
course January and New Year's resolutions, because this year nothing
is going to change unless you make it happen. You
start to speak, maybe quietly, maybe with a not in
your throat, and say things like I didn't want to fail,
(31:41):
or I didn't believe in myself, or I was scared
of what people would think of me. That's why that's
a big one for me. I don't know if there's
something off with me. It's not that I think I'm
better than anybody. Never did. In fact, I know I
have my issues. I know I have my problem so
trust me, I do and I'm very I'm fully aware
of them. But in my entire life, even in grammar school,
(32:03):
in high school, I never thought to him, I never
I never cared what people thought. They don't pay my bills.
Did I care what my parents thought. They paid my bills.
But the kid down the street, I learned at a
very young age he would be a part of my
life for six days, six months, maybe even six years,
(32:24):
and then he'd be gone. So I'm not gonna make
decisions and base my entire life off what I consider
the cool kid down the street. I'm focused on me, me,
(32:45):
every excuse, every reason, every story you tell yourself becomes valid.
But the other, the other voice, that darkness inside of you,
is listening and says, I get it. But here's the truth.
(33:05):
The world doesn't wait for you to be ready. It
moves on. There will be there will come a day
that you will no longer be here. You will be
a memory in the beginning. For many after a year,
that amount lessons after five ten years. It might be
one or two people that during a connection they remember
(33:27):
something you did or said, not what you owned. Remember
that corvette, that guy I think we'll give a shit
about that. They remember how you made them feel. That's
a marketing thing. I'm working with a marketing class right now,
a sales class, and that's a big thing that even
in sales, people don't care what you say, they really
(33:48):
don't they care how you made them feel when you
said it. That's the connection in sales. Do you feel
weight right now? Does a truth hit hard or is
it freeing? Are you allowing it to free yourself like
(34:11):
just cracking an egg off of your body and just
letting it hit the ground. Because the moment you accept
that something, my friends will shift inside of you. You
realize that waiting for the right time, for the perfect
condition for everyone else to just agree with you, for
the stars to line up, was never really about timing.
It was about your control. Realizing that you may not
(34:32):
have control, so you'd rather be live in fear and
just keep putting behind instead of saying I'm gonna jump.
Steve Harvey says it is when his speeches looking up
about jumping, it always comes to mind, he took a
jump that man. You know, some people like him, some
people don't. There's issues that he's this or that. I
really don't care. All I know is that I watched
(34:55):
his documentary about him wanting to be a comedian and
starting at the and actually sitting up in a room
upstairs from the Apollo Hot as Hell, starving he didn't
have any money, and there was many challenges he was
going through during those few days of just being scared,
(35:15):
being terrified, being hungry, being driven, and starving. And now
he's you know, he's doing pretty well for himself because
he never stopped believing in himself. He never focused on
what others thought. Waiting for the right time, the perfect
conditions keep waiting. Control over uncertainty, control over fear, control
(35:41):
over the unknown. But here's the kicker. Control is bullshit.
It's like time, it's an illusion. The only thing you
truly control is the moments right now. Wherever you are,
right now, you right now, where you are, right now,
this is what you're controlling. Where you're sitting, where you're standing,
where you're walking right now is what you control. And that,
(36:03):
my friends, is where the power lies within you. You have
the power to change your story. It's never too late.
It's never too late. And in that smile you find
something you thought you lost. Hope. Not the flaky, wishful thinking,
(36:26):
the kind of hope that gets you up and going,
but the gritty, stubborn hope that rises from the ashes
of every I almost gave up, but I kept going
and I got it. I did it I accomplished it.
I succeeded. Not the one who hesitated, or doubted, or
(36:50):
held back in fear, but the one who dared, who risked,
who lived fully, who tried and tried again, and tried
one more time, and then continue trying with shaking, wet hands, nervous.
As I say this, you believed in yourself. I'm not
(37:16):
asking you to race to pass. I'm asking you to
join forces with it, learn from those and put that
energy towards fueling your future. What if you stop thinking
of the person you could have been as a someday fantasy.
What if you invited him to walk beside you right now?
(37:37):
Stop like, oh, back then, I was successful, I was
a hard worker. That person's you. That person is still you.
If anything, that person walks alongside you, whispering courage when
you're about to quit and give up, to remind you
of your worth when you're feeling small, to push you
(37:57):
forward toward the life you've been too scared to live.
Take a deep breath, ask yourself what's holding you back,
(38:20):
and understand that that first step is one step that
you can take today, no matter how small, that brings
you closer to the person that you want to be.
Maybe it's written down in a dream that you've buried.
Maybe it's reaching out for help but not really asking.
(38:42):
Maybe it's simply deciding to stop waiting for the perfect moment,
whatever that is. Because the transformation isn't about giant leaps.
It's about steady, relentless steps. As you slowly back up
and realize that what I'm saying is actually a lot
easier than you actually thought it was because you spend
(39:04):
so much time complaining and bitching and just making excuses,
you open your eyes and you go, wait a minute,
maybe maybe maybe he's right, because every day you can
choose something differently, and that choice, that simple, powerful choice,
is where your story today, in the next few hours
(39:27):
of this evening or tomorrow or this weekend, is where
your true your story can change. And then you will
connect with as I said, that person that you are
in deep down inside, that dare to live boldly. What's
(39:48):
holding you back? And I don't know is not an answer. Sorry,
but here's the thing. Excuse me. The barriers between who
who you are now and who you could be aren't
always obvious. They're quiet, they're sneaky. They show up as whispers, doubts, fears, justifications, judgments,
(40:10):
And so one day you wake up and realize those
whispers have just built this wall. You have built this
wall around you of doubt and fear. And I like
to call it the silent enemy, fear and resistance. Fear.
It's the classic villain, the loud, roaring beast that shows
up when you face the unknown. It's unknown because you
(40:33):
just don't know what it is. How many things have
you already tried in your life that at some point
were unknown and now they're known. I'm afraid to do this.
I'm afraid to do that. Why. It's simply because it's unknown.
Sometimes fear wears a clever disguise. It sounds like I'm
too tired, or I don't have the right skills, or
(40:54):
I'll start tomorrow. Resistance is its partner in crime, the
subtle urge to procrastinate. How many of you out there
are my procrastinators? Whoooo yep, you're willing to distract yourself
with busy work, which it's not busy work. It doesn't
make any excuses. I need to do this distance that,
(41:15):
to choose comfort overgrowth. It's the good in a voice
whispering that change is just too hard, too risky, these too,
fear and resistance are the reason the person you could
have been often feels like a stranger, because every time
you listen to their whispers, you choose safety over possibility.
But here's the paradox. Fear and resistance only have power
(41:39):
if you let them. Who do you think fuels your
fear and resistance? The maleman, the neighbor. The moment you
shine a light on fear and resistance and you name
(42:00):
it for what it is, the grip weakens. I have
no reason to fear you. I have no reason to
fear certain things. It's just stupidity. Fear is not knowing
because once you know, oh god, when I moved here,
it's a seasonal thing. But you know, there's a lot
of spiders, a lot of spiders, and my thing is
(42:23):
like I don't like spiders. And you know, it got
to the point like we first moved into this house
and therese cracks and crevices and holes. It's a very
old farmhouse. So I mean, every day there's a spider
in the shower, there's a spider walking down the hallway
to the bedroom. There's a spider on the sink and
I'm like what, I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no
no no. But then I read and I realized how
(42:45):
important they truly are. They really are, And you know,
we have the wolf spider, and then we have this
spider and that spider, and then I went there, I
just kill them all. And then come to find out
this spider you need it because it does that and
really doesn't bite you, actually has no interest in biting you,
and that's the one you need. But we just owe.
So what I did was I made a bond with them,
and I said, okay, you stay out of my house.
(43:05):
You can hang out outside. If I catch you outside,
I will respect you. I'll move you. I've I have relocated.
Can you imagine it? Spiders? I was the one who
just smothered the hell out of them. I've I've read
about them, I've studied it. I understand their story. I
educated myself because I was ignorant. My first reaction was
(43:26):
oh no, oh my god, it's just no. I was like, well,
wait a minute, I know nothing about this creature, only
what they I see in movies, just like you know sharks. No.
I researched, I asked questions. I was like, wait a minute, Okay,
now I know, like we here, we have sinkholes. And
I was like, what is a sink call a pit
to hell? It's just like and I read about it
and I was interacting. I'm intrigued by it. The other
(43:47):
day I was cutting the grass right around it. Intrigued
by it because I educated myself. I didn't choose to fear.
Understand fear. Every time you feel fear, it it tightens
your body. It affects you. It's not good. If you
feel fear and you run, that's great. If you feel
(44:08):
fear and then you just like crawl up into a ball,
it makes you sick. Proven science. But it's the power
of your choice. It's easy to feel like life happens
to you, that you're stuck in a script written by circumstance,
by other people's expectations. I am the person I am
because mommy, No. The truth is, you hold the pen,
(44:32):
my friends. Every day is a fresh page. Every moment
offers a choice, a new choice. You're writing your story.
You are writing your story. You are writing your story.
You can keep circling the same story, the same fears,
the same excuses, or you can decide to get off
your ass and just write in a chapter. Stop scribbling
(44:53):
and erasing, Just rip the page out, throw it out,
burn it, start fresh. That's what the person you could
have been knows because they lived that truth. They just did,
They just acted. The choice is freedom. Now. I want
you to focus on this thought picture that the person
(45:15):
you met before you know, the old you, the more
successful you, the more daring you. Uh is you? They're
just a reflection or a shadow. But I asked that you,
when you think of this person that had their shit
together at some point in your life, see them as
a guide, as a mentor what wisdom? What wisdom did
(45:42):
they carry? What secrets did they know that you now don't.
When did you start waving the white flag and surrender?
What advice would they give to you if you asked him?
What do you think they would say to you if
you were like, you know, I'm not happy with myself.
I made some poor decisions. What could I have done differently?
(46:02):
What do you think they would say to you? Trust me,
you'll hear an answer. Feel their strength, their courage, their
unshakable belief, and what's possible. Let that energy flow into you.
Let it fill you up and steady your nerves. It's
not distant or unreachable. It's a part of you, the
part waiting to be awakened. Let's get to action. Let's
(46:27):
get to action, because knowing the truth is powerful, but
doing something with it changes everything. Correct, here's a few
little things I want you to focus on, three powerful,
what I consider a very powerful steps to help you
begin closing the gap between who you are and who
you were or could be could be. It starts off
(46:48):
with ready, name your fear, Get a piece of paper,
write it down with your hand, and you know, not
just a computer. I always say, it doesn't matter. No,
I want you to write it down. Write down to
fears or excuses that you feel hold you back, see
them in writing, and be painfully, brutally honest. Getting them
(47:13):
out of your head and onto the paper takes some
of their power away from you. A lot of times
I've had people do this in sessions and they're like wow,
when I write it down and I say it, I
realize how stupid or silly it is. I'm like, it
is what it is. I mean, I'm not trying to
be a little It's a fear, it's a fear. It
was a fear, But when you start to put it
(47:34):
over there and you start looking at it, you realize
that is kind of I'm empowering it. How about you
pick one step, no matter how tiny, that moves you
towards your goal. What goals do you have in your
life that you want to accomplish it You keep saying
(47:55):
that I have goals in my life, but you're doing
nothing towards accomplishing them. That's a big one for me.
I've always believed in my entire life, every single day
you should be doing something towards a goal every single day.
Big or small, it doesn't matter, but something something towards
your goal. It's energy, it's moving forward. It's the energy
of you living your life. It could be as simple
(48:18):
as sending an email, making a call, jotting down a plan.
Don't overthink it. Just start. I need a special paper
with a special pen, or I need it to get
a special app. Just start. Create a daily reminder, a
(48:42):
note and alarm, a mantra that brings you back to
your commitment every day, every day and every way, I'm
getting better and better. I see that every morning, every day,
and in every way, I'm getting better and better every
day and in every way I'm getting better and better.
Or I choose growth today. I choose to believe in
(49:04):
who I am today. I am becoming who I was
meant to be. Very different from just complaining. Right, If
you could meet yourself one year from now, what would
you say to them? Where do you think you'll be
(49:26):
one year from now? Did you take giant leaps? Did
you move small mole hills, small mountains, small hills? Where
do you see yourself a year from now? Don't be
afraid to think huge. Don't be afraid to think huge.
(49:53):
Remember the person that you could have been is not lost.
They're waiting waiting for you to invite them for one
step at a time, to show them that you can
do this. When you're ready, you can do this. Carry
that power, that strength that I'm feeding you into your
(50:16):
day every day and understand that you've got this. You've
been this person in your life. Trust me, you have
done crazy stuff. You have succeeded. You have made decisions
that you never thought you would have and you did it.
And when you do this, this mindset to herd truth
is you welcome opportunities. Nobody else is going to do
(50:40):
it for you. Nobody else is going to open doors
for you. There's no coach, there's no guru, there's no
magic podcast episode that's going to change everything for you.
I'm talking. I'm just talking. There's a lot of people
that are talking. I hear sentences and phrases on TV
shows on radio that I just go. That's a good thought,
that's a positive thought, and I let it empower me.
(51:04):
It's yours alone, buddy, The power is yours. How many
how many opportunities have you let go because of fear,
because of doubt? Double checking, double thinking is second guessing.
When I say reset yourself, I don't mean wiping the
(51:28):
slate clean and pretending the past never happened. That's that's
a fantasy world. That's bullshit. I mean standing up, looking
the past in the eye and saying I'm not defined
by what's behind me. I choose how I move forward.
Resetting is about reclaiming control. It's about ripping off the
(51:49):
blindfold you've worn, whether it's fear, doubts, old patterns, old habits,
and seeing the path now clearly the person that you
could have been is proof it's possible. You've done it.
(52:12):
Every morning. Take just a few minutes when you first
wake up, before you scroll through your phone, go open
your eyes. First thing you do, no excuse, is ask yourself,
what's one thing I can do today that moves me
closer to my goals? What's one thing I can do
(52:33):
today that moves me closer to my goals? And then
let's be realistic. What fear or resistance is out there?
Might be your siblings, it might be a spouse. It
might be that you know is gonna just ruin your shit.
They're gonna tell you you're stupid, it's a waste, don't bother. Well,
(52:57):
here's the thing. You could either move out, divorce them,
or you can prepare and know what they're gonna say
and just know that they're gonna say it and be like, Okay,
it is what it is, and let them talk. It
shouldn't change what you believe in. If you believe in
something because you've done it before, if you believe in
something bad enough, big enough, you listen to them and
you go, okay, you don't have to fight with them,
and you have to pick your like your ideas are stupid,
(53:19):
and you go right, and then you keep going the
what if challenge. Pick one fear or excuse that you
have been carrying for way too long, and ask yourself,
(53:41):
what if this fear actually isn't true? What if it
was just something that somebody put in my mind years ago,
and it's just I keep here. I am twenty thirty
forty years later, still allowing this to push me into
the darkness every day, allowing this fear to be louder
than my voice. Write it down, Write it down a
(54:04):
few times. It's piece of paper. I'm afraid of spiders.
I'm afraid of spiders. I'm afraid of spiders. I'm afraid
of spiders. Why because they're furry, because they have more
arms than me. Because in movies they're creepy and crawley
and oh my god, and they can kill me and
oh my god, and they have some webs. And it's
amazing how how I didn't say it went away? But
watching Spider Man movies just kind of like made it
(54:26):
not as scary because they took the concept that was
very fearful for many and just well, they gave it
some guy powers. Let yourself feel what success looks like
and what it feels like. What does courage look like?
(54:51):
To you think about that to be filled with courage,
we will believe to have courage. What does it mean
to you? What's holding you back? My God? Who in
your life do you have to forgive? Who? Or maybe
it's you to be able to move forward. In meditation,
(55:14):
I talk about anchors a lot. People that have these
anchors that are behind them and go deep, deep, deep, deep,
deep into the depths of their mind, down to the
darkest oceans. These anchors that have been holding them back
to something that they did when they were eighteen years old.
It's just like, oh, I got cut the rope, Cut
the rope, dig deep. It's a day to prepare for,
(55:41):
to look forward to, to let this shit go. It's
a day to live for right now today, simple, simple, simple, simple.
I'm not asking to take over the world. I'm just
asking to choose one thing, just one Make that call,
write that note, speak that truth. Step outside your comfort.
Speaker 2 (56:03):
Zone, even if your knees shake, even if your voice cracks,
because every moment you hesitate is a moment you delay
becoming who you were.
Speaker 3 (56:15):
Meant to be. Take a deep breath. Feel the weight
of power that I am sharing with you, because you
are not starting from zero, you're starting from right now.
And I really, really, really, really really I hope I
(56:37):
made you think. I hope I made you question your
existence and to appreciate every tomorrow, every today, and to
be grateful for all the experiences of the past that
you have made who you are right now. Keep this
in mind. Choose action over excuse, purpose over comfort, and
the work that matters over the distractions and bullshit that
(57:00):
just don't. My name is Jimmy Gozalez and this was
