Discretion is advised. Jay Beloved, We've gathered here today to
get through this thing called life. You are listening to
(00:55):
the Reset Yourself To Podcasts with your host Jimmy gun Solid.
Thank you, Thank you, think you, think you, Thank you.
I greatly appreciate it. And this is as she said,
the Reset Yourself To two podcasts. Let's begin. In this
(01:18):
weekly podcast, I focus on sparking your your inner confidence
and igniting your belief in yourself. I am your host
and I'm always very thrilled to share my thoughts and
research with you as we go along on this journey.
Together with Henry By, co producer, you can mature nurture
a mindset that empowers you to reach your fullest potential.
(01:41):
And I do believe that I write a record every
episode to challenge our thinking and to encourage us to
reflect and inspire actionable, realistic steps towards our personal growth.
Whether you're facing a career transition, seeking to overcome challenges,
or simply striving for just great or fulfillment life, this
(02:01):
podcast is your go to resource for motivation and practical insights.
My inspiration to do this show is to teach people
to focus more on what they can accomplish, so they
do the things they need to do when they need
to do them, so that ultimately you get the things
you want when you want to have them. And this
episode is dedicated to you. Actually it's dedicated to all
(02:26):
of you. So tell me what you want and I
will show you how to get it. The question is
are you willing to do the hard work, the sweat labor.
So today's episode is about the strength and vulnerability, letting
the walls around this fall. You know, most people will
(02:52):
tell you they want to be strong, But what does
that mean? I mean, like bodybuilds strong. I just mean,
what does it mean when people say I'm a strong person.
They want to be confident, they want to be steady,
they want to be unshakeable, the kind of person that
can handle anything that lands on their lap. Right, are
(03:14):
you that person? But here's the twist. Real strength doesn't
come from what you can hide. It comes from what
you are willing to reveal to the world. Vulnerability. Vulnerability,
Now that's a word that makes people uncomfortable. It's not
the kind of thing we're taught to celebrate, to be vulnerable.
(03:38):
We grow up hearing tough enough, don't cry, don't show weakness,
never show weakness, And we take those messages, those quiet lessons,
and we build walls out of them, brick by brick
by brick, we create a version of ourselves that looks
we assume invincible. When we want to scream, we say
(04:02):
I'm good when our world feels like it's just falling
apart around this we post the highlight reel in our
mind and bury the rest under silence. Just try to
ignore and brush it under the carpet, make it go away.
But here's the truth. Walls keep pain out, sure, but
(04:27):
they also keep love out, They keep connection out, they
keep good friends out, they keep life from getting too close.
And after a while you're by yourself and the armor
starts feeling less like protection and more like a prison.
You ever noticed how some of the strongest people you
(04:47):
ever met are also the most open ones. They're the
ones who can sit down and say, yeah, I've been
through some things. Yeah, I have failed, I've screwed up,
I've been hurt, I've been scared, I've been cheated on,
I've been lied to. I've been screwed over a million times.
(05:09):
I'm still here because they got over the hump. That's
not weakness, that's wisdom, my friends. It takes courage to
drop that mask and to say this is who I am.
I don't have it all figured out, but I'm learning.
It takes guts to be honest in the world addicted
(05:29):
to pretending h They should call it Pretend Book because
so many people do. Because being vulnerable means you're not
hiding behind your story anymore. You're standing in it. And
when you do that, you start giving other people permission
(05:50):
to do the same. That's the ripple effect of truth.
We've all got that instinct to protect ourselves. It's our
survival when we've been burned, disappointed, judged, and betrayed. So
we learned to cover those soft parts. But what if,
(06:11):
just what if the healing doesn't come from covering up
or from opening up, as I said, knocking down those walls.
Think about it. The people you've truly connected with in life,
really connected with, Weren't the ones who seemed perfect, were they?
I mean, who do you know that's perfect, like actually
(06:35):
really perfect? These people are the ones that are real,
the ones who shared something honest, the ones that you've
let them see what's behind your curtain. That's what makes
relationships strong. Good friends, true friends, not face Facebook friends,
(06:56):
but like real friends. It's not about perform mormans. It's
about the presence of them being there for you. But
if you have walls up, if you push people away constantly,
if you start lying to people, keeping stuff from those
closest to you, what happens when you stop trying to
be bulletproof and stop and start to being true, you
(07:20):
build relationships that can actually breathe. That's the beauty of vulnerability.
It invites authenticity on both sides. But let's talk about
the fear behind it, because it's real and let's be honest.
The fear of rejection, the fear of being misunderstood, the
(07:40):
fear that if people see who we really are, they'll
turn away. That's a heavy one because deep down, most
people don't actually fear vulnerability itself. They fear the the
end result, the outcome of it. They fear that their
truth just won't be accepted, their honesty will be used
(08:01):
against them, that their openness will make them look foolish.
And that's understandable. We've all had moments where our openness
was met with silence or worse, judgment, so we start
to think never again, Never, never again. Start brick by brick,
(08:24):
putting up those walls. I'll just keep it all inside
to myself, all of this pain, all of this thought,
all of this worry, everything that's really going on inside
my mind. I'll keep it to myself because nobody understands me.
But that mindset doesn't protect you. It isolates you. And
(08:47):
isolation might feel safe, but that's not living. There's something
powerful about saying I'm not okay today. I'm trying, but
i'm tired. I'm learning, but I'm struggling. Because the moment
you say it out loud, something happens. You stop carrying
it alone. Immediately, half of the weight is off of
(09:09):
you and on to the person that truly cares, who's
willing to hold some of that weight up for you.
By doing this, you invite connection, You invite understanding, you
invite healing, and that's when strength quietly walks back in.
Not the hard, rigid kind of strength, but the soft,
(09:30):
enduring kind that rebuilds from within. That's the kind that
lasts now let's shift gears for a moment, because vulnerability
isn't just about emotions. It's also about faith, faith in yourself,
faith in the process, faith that you can walk into
(09:51):
the unknown and truly know that you can still come
out hole on the other side. You see, when you're vulnerable,
you're trying stick something bigger than control. You're saying, I
don't have to know how it will turn out. I
just have to show up and be honest. That is surrender,
(10:12):
and surrender isn't giving up. It's letting go of pretending
this facade, this Facebook facade. That's when life starts moving again,
when you stop holding so tight to the image and
start letting truth lead the way. Let me tell you something,
(10:33):
some of the most pivotal moments in life come from
being vulnerable. That conversation you've been avoiding because you don't
want to get emotional, that's just vulnerability. Calling that dream
you've been sitting on because you're afraid to fail in
front of others, that's vulnerability. Asking for courage, that's apology
(10:54):
you've been meaning to give, or the forgiveness you've been
waiting to extend to someone in your life. That vulnerability
pushing you towards just freedom of the mind. The truth is,
the things that scare us most emotionally are usually the
things that will heal us the most deeply. It's just
(11:17):
that we have to walk through that door without armor.
You're not just trying to prove anything to anyone. You're
just living your truth. That's the foundation of peace, being
honest enough to live without the mask. When you're vulnerable,
(11:39):
you stop living in defense mode. You stop explaining, comparing, performing.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
You just.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Exist as you. And there's something powerful, even sacred about that,
because you realize that people can't really love you if
they don't really know you. They truly don't see you,
and they can't see you if you're always hiding behind
the facade the strong act I'm tough. Here's the thing.
(12:15):
When strength and vulnerability are on opposites, they're dance partners.
The strongest people aren't the ones who never break. They're
the ones who've learned how to bend without losing its shape.
When life hits hard, vulnerability says feel it. Strength says, now,
(12:35):
get back up. And when fear whispers, don't show them,
But then vulnerability answers I'll show them anyway. Because that's
the kind of courage that rebuilds resilience. One of the
last podcasts. If you're listening right now and you've been
(12:58):
carrying something inside of you, a fear of story, of
truth you haven't shared with anyone, maybe it's maybe today,
it's today, you start letting it out, allowing it to breathe,
allowing yourself to breathe. You don't have to tell the
whole world. You don't have to go on to social
(13:19):
media and share it with everyody, but start small. Tell
the truth to yourself first, write it down, say it aloud,
let it exist. That's how healing begins with honesty. Notice
I didn't say share it with anybody, share it with yourself. Yeah,
but I already have it. Write it down. That's how
(13:41):
healing begins with honesty. The longer we hide it, the
heavier it gets. But once it's out, once it's spoken,
it begins to lose its script. It begins to get
lighter and lighter and lighter. This is when you start
realizing that what you were afraid of wasn't the truth itself.
(14:03):
It was your fear of how others may react. But
your truth, it's not shameful. It's sacred. Vulnerability is where
the real connection happens between people within families and inside
relationships that matter. It's where love grows roots. It's where
(14:27):
trust becomes real. It's where authenticity starts taking shape. And
if there's one thing the world needs more of is
it's people who are brave enough to be honest about
their own humanity, not afraid to say I screwed up,
(14:47):
I did X, Y and Z I shouldn't have. It's
not a flaw, it's a feature. It's not a weakness.
It's wisdom. And every time you choose to be open,
every even when you're you remind others that they can
be too. You may think that it to push people
(15:08):
against you away from you, but I think it brings
people closer to you because they now can also be vulnerable.
Why we resist vulnerability. I think a lot of it
has to do our childhood lessons, our social conditioning, masculinity
and great pride. How the fear of being seen runs
(15:30):
deeper than the fear of failing, and how that discomfort
is actually sometimes growth if you allow it to be.
Vulnerability as a superpower. How leaders, creators, and healers use
(15:51):
vulnerability to connect, lead, and inspire. Think about it. Here's
some practical steps to practice vulnerability every day. Easy stuff
conversations forgiveness, honesty, and creativity. Start small, Start small, Be
(16:15):
honest with people. Start with small conversations. Things that have
have been nag you know, gnawing at you for years,
Things that at this point you may think don't even
matter anymore, Like, yeah, it's it's not a big deal anymore, right,
But if you're still thinking about it, it's still there.
It's still eating away at that your your your mind's eye,
(16:41):
and your gut. It's amazing. The fear of being seen,
Let's be honest, Being seen can feel terrifying. Not physically seen,
but the emotional emotionally exposed to the world, because being
seen means someone could look right into you and notice
that there are some cracks, there are some crevices, there
(17:04):
are some flaws, the things you try to keep neatly
hidden behind your humor, your confidence, or I'm too busy,
I have too much going on in my life. It's
wild how much energy people spend trying to look good,
look fine, be the part. I'm successful, I am perfect.
(17:29):
That one word, I'm fine. It's the world's most common disguise.
How are you doing? I'm fine, You're not. You're holding
in tears, you're swallowing frustration, and you're pretending that anxiety
is just a little tired. But we all do it
because we were taught that strength means composure, not honesty.
(17:50):
The truth is, the fear of being seen isn't about
the seeing. It's about the judgment that might follow. What
will they think? Will they still respect me? Will they
see me as a weak person? Will they use it
against me later? Are they laughing at me? Who's pointing
(18:13):
fingers at me? That fear builds thick walls, sometimes entire fortresses.
We become masters of presentation, curators of an image that
says I'm in control. But here's the irony. Control is
an illusion, and vulnerability is what shatters that illusion, not
(18:34):
to break us down, but to set us free. There's
the deep human need to belong right now, we all
want to feel connected, excepted, loved for who we really are.
But belonging can't happen if you're constantly editing yourself to
fit the group of people you're on, or the day
that you're posting or sharing your story. What do I say,
(18:56):
how do I say it? Not gonna tell people the truth.
When you dim your light just to make others comfortable,
you lose your color. When you fake confidence to cover pain,
you rob yourself of the chance to grow. Vulnerability is
a bridge between isolation and belonging. It's what turns how
(19:19):
are you into I understand you. It's a difference between
liking you and people knowing you. And yeah, that's that's
scary because once you let people know you, they can
hurt you. Now correct, they can walk away, they can
(19:42):
see your soft spots. But you know what's worse than
being hurt, never being known. See, here's something that doesn't
get said enough. Vulnerability is the birthplace of everything good. Love,
connection and trust, creativity, intimacy and healing. Every single one
(20:06):
of those requires risk. You can't have love without the
risk of loss. You can't have trust without the risk
of betrayal. You can't have creativity without the risk of rejection.
But if you spend your life trying to avoid pain,
you're also going to avoid joy. And what kind of
(20:29):
life is that? That's not living, that's hiding. Let me
take something powerful. The people who change the world aren't
the ones who hide behind perfection. They're the ones who
stand up and say, here's who I am. Messy, real,
(20:53):
but trying my best. Think about it. Every great leader,
artist or visionary that ever moved people did it through vulnerability.
They spoke from the hearts. They told the truth, They
showed their cracks. Martin Luther King Junior didn't stand at
the podium pretending life was easy. He spoke from his pain,
(21:15):
his life, his hope, his humanity. Johnny Cash didn't sing
about a perfect life ooh. He sang about struggle, guilt, redemption,
and people felt it because it was real. That's the
power of vulnerability. It speaks a universal language. You can
(21:38):
fake confidence, but you can't fake truth. When you speak
from that honest, unpolished space, you connect with people at
the soul level. They might not remember what you said,
but they'll never forget how you made them feel when
you said it. That's impact. Now, let's bring this down
(22:02):
to a personal level, because vulnerability isn't just for big
stages and world leaders. It's for relationships too. You ever
notice how the best conversations in life happen when someone
finally drops the act and they just peel the mask
off and they just they're real when they say something real,
(22:26):
really real, really really really really real, like I miss you,
or I'm scared or I'm sorry, al right, I love you.
Those are vulnerable moments, and they're scared because they're open.
They're opening the door to healing. Sometimes one moment of
(22:49):
honesty can fix what years of avoidance destroyed. One I
didn't mean to hurt. You can thaw an entire season
of silence. But pride. Pride gets in the way fear
of being the first one to admit something, fear of
(23:11):
looking weak. Real strength is being the one who goes first,
because someone has to start the healing, and if not you,
then who Vulnerability has this incredible side effect. You know
what that is Trust. It builds trust. You don't trust
(23:34):
people who pretend to be perfect. You trust people who
are human. When someone's honest about their flaws, you relax.
You think, oh, okay, it's safe to be me here
in this conversation. That's why vulnerability is actually contagious. When
(23:56):
you show it, others do follow. When you lead it,
when you leave with it, you create spaces of truth.
And that's how strong communities, marriages, friendships, and even businesses
are built not by pretending to have it all figured
out nobody does, but by showing up as just real people.
(24:18):
And sometimes it is okay to live unarmored. What does
that mean? To live unarmored doesn't mean you tell everyone
every detail of your life. That's oversharing. It means you
stop pretending to be someone you are not. It's about
alignment your inside matches, you're outside your inside matches. You're outside.
(24:47):
No more acting, no more trying to prove, just being.
And when that happens, you'll remember I said, this life
gets lighter. You start acving more, worrying less, forgiving faster.
You stop carrying stories that just don't belong to you.
(25:08):
You stop trying to control people's perceptions of life or
of you, and you start realizing that peace hasn't come
from perfection. It comes from being authentic. But how do
we practice that? Well, let's get practiced. Like let's get practical,
Like I said, it's start small honesty in small moments.
(25:31):
When someone asks you how you're doing, don't just say fine,
try it's been a tough week, but I'm hanging in there,
or I have actually been better. But when all this
said and done. I'm very grateful. Tiny truths build big courage.
(25:52):
Let allow people to help you. You don't have to
carry it all. Asking for help isn't weakness, it's wisdom
because you're not meant to walk alone. And you know what,
it's okay to say, I don't know. You'd be amazed
(26:12):
at how freeing those three words can be. I don't know.
You'd be amazed how much better you feel after you
say it a couple times. You you I him. We
don't have every answer. We just have to allow ourselves
(26:33):
to stay open to learning. A lot of people stay
armored up because they're ashamed of something something a mistake
they did back in the eighties, a failure, a version
of themselves they wish they could erase. But forgiveness is
what lets you move forward. You can't be vulnerable if
(26:55):
you're still punishing yourself. Just choose to life in a
way that you can be present. Vulnerability can't happen in
the past or the future. It happens right now. When
you're present, you stop rehearsing pain and start experiencing peace.
(27:18):
Vulnerability and gratitude go hand in hand. When you're grateful,
you're open. When you're open, you're vulnerable, and gratitude then
says I don't need everything to be perfect to appreciate
what I have, and that mindset telling you it begins
to shift everything because once you stop chasing approval, you
(27:40):
start living for abundance from abundance, and when you live
from abundance, you stop hiding. Because there's also a spiritual
side to all of this. Vulnerability is what opens the
doors to grace. You don't you can't You can't receive
(28:00):
healing if you won't admit you're hurting, You can't find guidance.
If you won't admit you're lost, You can't outgrow if
you won't admit there's room to grow. That moment you
kneel in honesty, that's where the light comes in. That's
(28:24):
where strength is reborn. I'll be honest. Vulnerability, Oh, it
will test you. It's not that easy. You'll share something
real and not everyone will handle it well or even
understand it, or they're also on their high horse of perfection.
Some people won't know what to do with your honesty,
(28:45):
but that's okay. Not everyone deserves access to your soul.
Vulnerability doesn't mean being open to everyone. It means being
open to the right ones. Discernment is part of a strength,
and sometimes the most vulnerable thing you can do ready
is set boundaries. How many of you are good at
(29:09):
setting boundaries? I'll be honest, but trust me, there is
freedom on the other side of all this. You know
what happens when you live with your walls down. You
stop fearing rejection because you're not auditioning anyone anymore. You
(29:29):
stop fearing loss because you're living honestly, not strategically. You
stop fearing failure because you know you'll survive it. When
all of a sudden, then get you know what happens.
You start to feel free, and in that freedom everything
changes your relationships, your confidence, your creativity, and your peace
(29:56):
because now you're not building from fear, You're building from truth.
So let's let take a deep breath wherever you are.
Closing your eyes is optional, and ask yourself, what am
I still hiding? What story am I tired of carrying alone?
(30:28):
What would happen if I stop pretending and just told
the truth? Would it really be that bad? I mean,
you must think so, because that's why you've done it.
But if it really takes some time to analyze it.
Would it really be that bad? And here's the big one.
Who could I become if I finally let those walls
(30:49):
just tumble down around me and just being filled with
truth and honesty with myself? Let's that sinking, because that's
the invitation right there, not to become someone new, no, no,
no no, but to return to who you've always been. See,
(31:13):
there's an honest truth about that word later later. That
word ruins more dreams than failure ever could. Later. Later
is very seductive, a whispers comfort. It promises time. It's patience.
(31:33):
It's always willing to wait with you, nodding along as
you say. I'll start once I'm ready. I'll try when
I have more money. I'll take the risk. After the holidays,
the new year's coming, I'll start then. I'll work on
that idea once I'm less tired. But here's the hardest truth.
(31:56):
Later does exists. It's a mirage. It's a polite delay
that steals the present moment from under your feet. Every
later you say stacks up like unpaid bills, and eventually
you wake up to find that your one day has
quietly expired. You See, people think procrastination is a time issue.
(32:24):
It's not. It's a belief issue. It's rooted in the
quiet thought that I don't believe in myself to start
right now. That's procrastination. I don't believe in myself enough
(32:45):
to start right now. That's what kills dreams. Not fear,
not rejection, not even failure. It's that slow death of disbelief,
served daily with a sight of excuses. You can't afford
to keep making appointments with your future while standing still
(33:05):
in your present. And if you want to become who
you think you're meant to be, you've got to take
later out of your vocabulary, permanently, replace it with let's begin,
Let's do this. How about right now? Even if it's
(33:27):
a little messy, even if you don't feel it's perfect,
it's really ready yet, because truth be told, you'll never
feel fully ready. Growth isn't about readiness. Growth is about willingness.
You see, the real catalyst is when people ask me
how to change your life, I tell them you don't
need a perfect plan, you need a willing spirit. Willingness
(33:51):
doesn't mean you have all the answers. It means you're
open enough to take one stall, one small, small step,
even when the destination isn't clear. It's easy to wait
for the grand sign the universes go because everything is
perfect right. But most of the time, your breakthrough doesn't
(34:16):
come in flashing neon signs. It shows up quietly, disguises
an idea, a conversation, a gut feeling that nudges you
in a new direction, And you wonder to yourself, is
this it should? I could? I would I And if
you're willing, maybe that's enough. Because willingness invites motion. Motion
(34:38):
invites clarity and clarity, my friend, builds momentum. Before you
know it, you are moving forward. You even notice how
once you start cleaning one corner of your house, suddenly
you're inspired to clean the entire room and then the
rest of the house. That's willingness kicking in the ass.
It's momentum born from doing well, from not waiting. If
(35:04):
you want your life to change, don't pray for strength,
pray for the willingness to do stuff. Strength comes after
the fact. It's the byproduct of walking through resistance, not
the pre requisite. But then, of course, you know, fear,
you want many of my my my regulars know how
(35:24):
much I love the F word. You know the four
letters fear. Let's peel back that layer, because behind almost
every hesitation, behind every I'm not ready, there's something much deeper,
and it's the fear of just change, something different. The
possibility that I may I may fail. Change is in
(35:49):
uncomfortable with disorienting. We think we're afraid of failure, but
what we're really afraid of is actually losing control. We
fear the unknown. We fear how others might react to us,
what they may say. What if I fail? What will
people say as if they don't. We fear that stepping
(36:12):
out means stepping away from old habits, old circles, old
versions of ourselves. But think about it. If the old
version of you could have gotten you where you want
to go, you'd already be there. But you're still here
and nothing seems to be changing. So maybe it's time
to upgrade. What are you still protecting that's keeping you
(36:38):
so small, so ensure of yourself. Maybe it's an identity
because you want to be the responsible one, or the
quiet one, or or the always helpful one. Maybe it's
that damn comfort zone. We know that comfort zone, a
routine that feels safe but suffocates our potential or maybe
(37:01):
it's an old belief, an old lesson, that you're not
smart enough, that you're not experienced enough, that you're just
not lucky enough. Whatever it is, if you keep feeding it,
it will keep you locked in the same pattern, and
patterns are prisons when they go unchecked. Growth requires rebellion,
(37:24):
not against others, but against your own limits. You've got
to revolt against that voice that says not yet, because
the voice doesn't care about your success. It only cares
about your survival. And there's a big difference between surviving
and living. There's a moment in every journey where you
(37:45):
have to look yourself dead in the eye and ask,
am I really doing everything that I can? Question's that's
like real, honest because most of the time the answer
(38:06):
is no, not because we're lazy, but because we're afraid
of discovering how powerful we could be if we actually tried.
Think about that. How many of us are actually afraid
to succeed more than you think, more than failure. People
(38:26):
romanticize potential. He's got potential, She's full of potential. Potential, potential, potential,
But potential means nothing if it's not activated. It's like God,
you know, he's a possibility, she has a possibility. They
ain't doing shit. It has to be activated. It's compliment,
(38:49):
but with an expiration date? How long would this potential last?
Because the mirror, your mirror doesn't lie. It knows when
you've been coasting, stalling, dragging your feet. It knows when
you've been talking about the dream more than living it.
It knows when you've been making excuses and calling it.
(39:11):
I need perfect timing. Things have to line up, the
stars have to line up. The mirror moment isn't meant
to shame you. It's meant to wake you up, to
remind you that you still have time, but not forever.
The beauty of being human is that you can start
again today and tomorrow and the next day. You can pivot,
(39:34):
you can rewrite, you can rebuild, you can reignite whatever
it takes. But it starts with honesty because you can't
fix what you won't face reclaiming, reclaiming it all. It's
not easy looking back at everything I've been talking about,
(39:57):
finishing this podcast and then going all right tea talking
about when it comes to me, do I have this issue?
Because it happens somewhere along the way sometimes we just
lose our fire. Maybe it's from disappointment, too many disappointments.
Maybe it's from exhaustion. Maybe life's been throwing so many
(40:18):
punches and you've been too busy ducking to just dream anymore.
But that fire, that hunger, that vision, that part of
you that refuses to settle, it's not gone. It's really not.
(40:42):
It's just buried under layers of doubt and routine. You
can reignite it, how well, Start with remembering why you
started in the first place. When you strip away the
money of the recognition, the titles, what was it you
really wanted? Was it freedom? Was at peace? Was it
(41:03):
pride in yourself? Was it to leave a legacy? Reconnect
to that and you'll a You'll find your spark again,
because the truth is, you can't stay stuck when you
remember your why, because this fuels you. It burns away excuses.
It makes fear look small and obstacles look temporary, because
(41:24):
everything is temporary. You've got to get hungry again, hungry
for your life, hungry to see what happens if you
stop holding back and finally bet and believe and trust
in yourself. Here's something most people get wrong. You don't
need a massive breakthrough to change your life. You don't.
(41:49):
You just need consistent small shifts in the right direction.
Change is in a lightning bolt. It's a series of
small sparks, tiny daily acts that build into something that
becomes unstoppable. Wake up twenty minutes earlier, read instead of scroll,
Talk to that stranger, take the scenic route, Say yes
(42:13):
when fear says no. Each small shift is like turning
a dial one degree at a time, until suddenly your
entire direction changes. Notice there's a constant in my podcast.
It's always about baby steps, small steps, one thing at
a time. And the funny part, once you start making
(42:36):
small moves, the universe starts to meet you halfway. Doors
will open, people will appear, and ideals will ideas will align.
They do, but you've got to give it something to
work with, because every day you wake up with a
choice stay as you are or choose to evolve. It's
(43:02):
not about luck. It's not about waiting for the stars
to align. It's not about choosing growth deliberately, deliberately, repeatedly,
and unpot of gelt, unapologetically. You We were not designed
(43:23):
to stay stagnant. Everything in our nature evolves, Trees grow,
rivers shift, even the stars above burn and change. So
why would you, a being of infinite infinite potential, just
stay stuck. Evolution doesn't require perfection, it requires participation. You
(43:48):
don't have to know what's next. You just have to
show up for the next step. Because when you keep
showing up, clarity reveals itself. Not before, but it's through
the process, and before you know it, you'll look back
and realize you didn't just survive your past, you outgrew it.
And then before you know it, you've created great positive
habits and you've become unstoppable. But let's be honest, unstoppable
(44:15):
doesn't mean you never get tired or scared or even lost.
It means you keep moving anyway. Every person you've ever admired,
every success story, every leader, every builder, every dreamer has
been knocked flat down at some point. The difference they
(44:35):
chose to not stay down. They got back up, They regrouped,
they learned, they adjusted, they pushed again. You see, people
think unstoppable means bulletproof. It means you've learned how to
bend without breaking. It means you've been through the kind
of storms that use to terrify you, and now you
(44:57):
walk through them with your code open. You're no longer fearless.
You're faithful, faithful to your vision, your growth, your purpose.
You trust that if you keep putting one foot in
front of the other, the ground will meet you. Being
unstoppable is about decision that destiny. It's a line you
(45:20):
draw into the sand that says I'm not quitting, not
this time. That is the kind that doesn't dream. It builds.
Let's talk about something that separates wishful thinkers from real doers,
the D word discipline. Discipline isn't sexy, it doesn't trend
(45:45):
on social media, it doesn't give you instant gratification. But
discipline builds kingdoms. Discipline is doing what needs to be done,
especially when you don't feel like doing it, because your
feelings will lie to you. They'll tell you not today,
they'll tell you you've done enough. They'll tell you it's
(46:07):
fine to skip it just this once. But discipline, that's
the quiet voice that says, just do it anyway. You
don't need more motivation, you need more follow through. Motivation
gets you started, Discipline gets you finished. You want to
(46:27):
change your life, make discipline your best friend. Wake up
to it, eats, breakfast with it, fall asleep next to it.
Because when the hype fades, when nobody's cheering, when life
gets loud and complicated, it's discipline that will carry you forward.
(46:50):
It's the bridge between wishing and winning. And the best
part is once you build it, you never lose it.
I mean, like the word resistance. That doesn't sound like
a big gift, huh, but it is. Every obstacle, every delay,
every hard season has a purpose to toughen you. Think
(47:11):
about the gym. If you want stronger muscles, you've got
to lift heavier weight. Resistance tears the muscles so it
can rebuild the muscle stronger. Life works the same way.
Those hard moments aren't there to break you, there to
reveal you, to show you what's inside of you. You
(47:33):
learn more about yourself and struggle than you ever will
in comfort. You discover what you value and who you
can count on, and what you are made of. So
the next time something blocks your path, don't curse it,
don't run from it, study it, ask what is this
(47:53):
trying to teach me? What muscle am I supposed to
be building?
Speaker 1 (47:57):
Here?
Speaker 2 (47:58):
That mindset turns resistance into training, and training turns pain
into power. But now let's talk about the people around
you or you're doing all of this. Let's get real
for a second. You can't grow around people who don't
(48:19):
want you to one more time. You can't grow, succeed,
be happy around people that don't want to see you grow,
be happy and succeed. That's tough. Some folks love you, sure,
(48:42):
but they love you comfortable. The last thing they want
you to do is do better than them. Maybe they've
been trying to get into a college their entire life
and they've just been too lazy.
Speaker 1 (48:52):
To do it.
Speaker 2 (48:53):
Whatever, Now you go to them and you say that
you're going to do it, and their thing is like,
oh my god, no, no, no, that's a waste of
time because for them it was waste of time. People
like to, you know, keep misery. So why you can't
grow around people who don't want you to grow. They
(49:15):
don't mean harm most of the time, surprisingly, but they
will put you back down the moment you start to rise,
because your growth reminds them of their stagnation. You need
people who challenge you, you just not cheer you. You
need folks who will call you out when you're slipping,
(49:36):
not coddle your excuses. Surround yourself with people who talk
about ideas, not gossip. People who celebrate your wins and
push you to keep going. People who don't just clap
when you rise, but they rise with you. Because here's
the truth, environment shapes energy. If you hang around five
(49:59):
drive even people, you my friend, will be the sixth.
If you hang around with five negative five negative ones,
you will be the sixth. Protect your circle like your
future depends on it, because it does. And if you
don't have those people yet in your life, start by
(50:22):
being that person yourself. You'll attract others on that same frequency.
It's you talking to you, always you. By now you've
probably realized the hardest thing about growth isn't learning new things,
it's unlearning the things that kept you small. You spent
(50:42):
years carrying beliefs that weren't yours, to hand me downs
from society, the limiting beliefs to parents, the failure of
the failure, and maybe, just maybe it's time to set
them down for good, because the truth is you've always
had what it took you, just stop believing it for
a while. Think back right now, there must have been
(51:05):
a point in your life that you were just unstoppable,
and then something happened. I don't want to go into
what it could have been, but you just stopped. All
that strength to your mare and others, you do have it,
(51:29):
all that wisdom you search for in books and quotes,
You've lived enough life to have it. The moment you
stop waiting for permission to begin, you reclaim your power back.
The moment you stop apologizing for outgrowing your past, you
start building your future back. You don't need another sign.
You are the sign. You're not to be hind you're
(51:53):
not too late, and you're not unqualified. You are becoming,
and becoming never stops. So before I end again, remember
take a deep breath, then hal and exhale inhale belief
and exhale doubt, and feel the ground beneath you, feel
(52:17):
the life inside of you, and remember you still have time.
How long. It's not forever. So I advise you. I
challenge you right now, make the call, write the plan,
start the thing, not later, not someday, now, because if
(52:41):
you're brave enough to begin, you're already strong enough to succeed.
The one percent rule. Every day, improve by just one percent.
That's it. And over a year. That's a thirty seven
fold improvement. Every day when you're in the bathroom and
(53:06):
you're walking through, look yourself in the eye each morning
in the mirror and ask yourself, am I doing what
I said I would? That honesty keeps you aligned. Notice
who you're spending time with. Are they energized? Are the
energizing or are they draining? That's when you need to
(53:30):
adjust accordingly. Remember, I'm not asking you to escape who
you are. It's about returning to the truth of who
you've always been. Because you are capable, you're resilient. You
are a work in progress, and that's exactly how it
should be. The reset isn't a one time button you press.
(53:55):
It's a daily choice, a choice to let go of
yesterday's version of you and walk boldly into the new one,
the better one, the updated version of you two point zero.
Understand that your story isn't finished. You're still becoming, and
I believe the best part you're writing it in real time,
(54:17):
like now today. So whatever has been holding you back, fear, doubt, comfort, comparison,
it's time to just loosen that grip. Because life isn't waiting,
and neither should you. Reset yourself again and again and again,
(54:39):
until your outside world finally reflects the strength, faith, and
purpose that's been inside of you all along. Here's a story.
Think about a woman by the name of Maria. A
single mom. She had been working two jobs, juggling bills,
and caring for her kids, all while quietly dreaming of
(55:01):
starting her own small bakery. One day, every day fear
told her, you can't do this, you will fail. But
one morning, finally she whispered to herself, I have to try,
even if it's scary. So she took a tiny step.
One tiny step. She rented a tiny booth in a
(55:26):
local farmer's market. She didn't get a storefront, she didn't
take a bank loan, she didn't start buying ovens. She
made twenty cupcakes and she posted a simple photo online.
People loved them. She started building a following, and now
she finally does run a thriving bakery, employees local teens,
(55:48):
and inspires other parents to take their own leaps. Maria's
story is proof vulnerability starts small. It starts with saying
I owe risk being seen, and that risk becomes the
first brick and a life built on courage. Courage here's
(56:09):
the truth. We rarely admit. Most of us fear intimacy,
not because we dislike people, but because we dislike our
own vulnerability. You might hold back in relationships, thinking if
I share too much, they might leave. If I show weakness,
I may be judged. But here's the reality. Relationships thrive
(56:30):
on transparency. When you dare to say I'm scared but
I want to try, or I'm hurt but I'm willing
to forgive, you invite connection. Love isn't built on perfection.
It's built on risk, honesty, and showing up even when
it's uncomfortable. And let's be real, this applies to all
kinds of relationships, romantic, family relationships, friendships, and even professional connections.
(56:54):
People resonate with authenticity. When you're real, you bear good
salesmen or sales they feel your courage and consciously or not,
mirror it. Want you to think about Thomas Edison. I
mentioned him quite often because he famously said I have
(57:16):
not failed. I have just found ten thousand ways that
that won't work. He understood something crucial. Success is the
absence of failure. It's the willingness to keep going through it.
The same applies to you. The moment you stop fearing failure,
you unlock a freedom few ever experience, because then your
(57:40):
efforts are no longer about protecting your ego. They're just
about growth, learning and the possibilities, the many possibilities. What
should you do? Speak your truth daily, even if it's
just with yourself, in a journal or in a mirror.
(58:02):
Name your feelings. Be honest about your struggles. What's going
on in here? Say it out loud, say it to
a mirror, seek feedback, Ask trusted people for constructive criticism.
Open yourself to learning without defensiveness. Share one thing that
(58:24):
scares you. It could be admitting a mistake, expressing appreciation,
or starting a difficult conversation. This is a big one. Ready,
reflect before reacting, pause before you respond in anger, shame,
or fear. Vulnerability requires conscious choice, not knee jerk reactions.
(58:48):
Something happens, don't just jump to it. Breathe and when
you do well, even if it's small, celebrate your courage.
Every time you risk being seen, celebrate it. Reinforce the
habit of bravery, because that's pretty badass. And as I said,
(59:15):
I uh, I'm a true believer. Every week I do
this show and every week. I think of you, all
of you, and the many conversations that I hear or
here and there that people share in restaurants, grocery stores,
or people that I've dealt with in the past, and
(59:38):
it breaks my heart to see people not fight to
be the person they truly were, and to actually believe
that they are this facade of who they've created, who
they are not. I hope I made you think. I
hope I made you question your existence into a pre
(01:00:00):
shade every tomorrow, every today, and be grateful for all
of the experiences of the past that have made you
who you are. Right now, keep this in mind. Choose
action over excuses, purpose over comfort, and the work that
matters over the distractions that don't. My name is Jimmyganzaland

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Discretion is advised. Jay Beloved, We've gathered here today to
get through this thing called life. You are listening to
(00:55):
the Reset Yourself To Podcasts with your host Jimmy gun Solid.
Thank you, Thank you, think you, think you, Thank you.
I greatly appreciate it. And this is as she said,
the Reset Yourself To two podcasts. Let's begin. In this

weekly podcast, I focus on sparking your your inner confidence
and igniting your belief in yourself. I am your host

research with you as we go along on this journey.

a mindset that empowers you to reach your fullest potential.
(01:41):
And I do believe that I write a record every
episode to challenge our thinking and to encourage us to
reflect and inspire actionable, realistic steps towards our personal growth.
Whether you're facing a career transition, seeking to overcome challenges,
or simply striving for just great or fulfillment life, this
(02:01):
podcast is your go to resource for motivation and practical insights.
My inspiration to do this show is to teach people
to focus more on what they can accomplish, so they
do the things they need to do when they need
to do them, so that ultimately you get the things
you want when you want to have them. And this
episode is dedicated to you. Actually it's dedicated to all
(02:26):
of you. So tell me what you want and I
will show you how to get it. The question is
are you willing to do the hard work, the sweat labor.
So today's episode is about the strength and vulnerability, letting
the walls around this fall. You know, most people will
(02:52):
tell you they want to be strong, But what does
that mean? I mean, like bodybuilds strong. I just mean,
what does it mean when people say I'm a strong person.
They want to be confident, they want to be steady,
they want to be unshakeable, the kind of person that
can handle anything that lands on their lap. Right, are
(03:14):
you that person? But here's the twist. Real strength doesn't
come from what you can hide. It comes from what
you are willing to reveal to the world. Vulnerability. Vulnerability,
Now that's a word that makes people uncomfortable. It's not
the kind of thing we're taught to celebrate, to be vulnerable.
(03:38):
We grow up hearing tough enough, don't cry, don't show weakness,
never show weakness, And we take those messages, those quiet lessons,
and we build walls out of them, brick by brick
by brick, we create a version of ourselves that looks
we assume invincible. When we want to scream, we say
(04:02):
I'm good when our world feels like it's just falling
apart around this we post the highlight reel in our
mind and bury the rest under silence. Just try to
ignore and brush it under the carpet, make it go away.
But here's the truth. Walls keep pain out, sure, but
(04:27):
they also keep love out, They keep connection out, they
keep good friends out, they keep life from getting too close.
And after a while you're by yourself and the armor
starts feeling less like protection and more like a prison.
You ever noticed how some of the strongest people you
(04:47):
ever met are also the most open ones. They're the
ones who can sit down and say, yeah, I've been
through some things. Yeah, I have failed, I've screwed up,
I've been hurt, I've been scared, I've been cheated on,
I've been lied to. I've been screwed over a million times.
(05:09):
I'm still here because they got over the hump. That's
not weakness, that's wisdom, my friends. It takes courage to
drop that mask and to say this is who I am.
I don't have it all figured out, but I'm learning.
It takes guts to be honest in the world addicted
(05:29):
to pretending h They should call it Pretend Book because
so many people do. Because being vulnerable means you're not
hiding behind your story anymore. You're standing in it. And
when you do that, you start giving other people permission
(05:50):
to do the same. That's the ripple effect of truth.
We've all got that instinct to protect ourselves. It's our
survival when we've been burned, disappointed, judged, and betrayed. So
we learned to cover those soft parts. But what if,
(06:11):
just what if the healing doesn't come from covering up
or from opening up, as I said, knocking down those walls.
Think about it. The people you've truly connected with in life,
really connected with, Weren't the ones who seemed perfect, were they?
I mean, who do you know that's perfect, like actually
(06:35):
really perfect? These people are the ones that are real,
the ones who shared something honest, the ones that you've
let them see what's behind your curtain. That's what makes
relationships strong. Good friends, true friends, not face Facebook friends,
(06:56):
but like real friends. It's not about perform mormans. It's
about the presence of them being there for you. But
if you have walls up, if you push people away constantly,
if you start lying to people, keeping stuff from those
closest to you, what happens when you stop trying to
be bulletproof and stop and start to being true, you
(07:20):
build relationships that can actually breathe. That's the beauty of vulnerability.
It invites authenticity on both sides. But let's talk about
the fear behind it, because it's real and let's be honest.
The fear of rejection, the fear of being misunderstood, the
(07:40):
fear that if people see who we really are, they'll
turn away. That's a heavy one because deep down, most
people don't actually fear vulnerability itself. They fear the the
end result, the outcome of it. They fear that their
truth just won't be accepted, their honesty will be used
(08:01):
against them, that their openness will make them look foolish.
And that's understandable. We've all had moments where our openness
was met with silence or worse, judgment, so we start
to think never again, Never, never again. Start brick by brick,
(08:24):
putting up those walls. I'll just keep it all inside
to myself, all of this pain, all of this thought,
all of this worry, everything that's really going on inside
my mind. I'll keep it to myself because nobody understands me.
But that mindset doesn't protect you. It isolates you. And
(08:47):
isolation might feel safe, but that's not living. There's something
powerful about saying I'm not okay today. I'm trying, but
i'm tired. I'm learning, but I'm struggling. Because the moment
you say it out loud, something happens. You stop carrying
it alone. Immediately, half of the weight is off of
(09:09):
you and on to the person that truly cares, who's
willing to hold some of that weight up for you.
By doing this, you invite connection, You invite understanding, you
invite healing, and that's when strength quietly walks back in.
Not the hard, rigid kind of strength, but the soft,
(09:30):
enduring kind that rebuilds from within. That's the kind that
lasts now let's shift gears for a moment, because vulnerability
isn't just about emotions. It's also about faith, faith in yourself,
faith in the process, faith that you can walk into
(09:51):
the unknown and truly know that you can still come
out hole on the other side. You see, when you're vulnerable,
you're trying stick something bigger than control. You're saying, I
don't have to know how it will turn out. I
just have to show up and be honest. That is surrender,
(10:12):
and surrender isn't giving up. It's letting go of pretending
this facade, this Facebook facade. That's when life starts moving again,
when you stop holding so tight to the image and
start letting truth lead the way. Let me tell you something,
(10:33):
some of the most pivotal moments in life come from
being vulnerable. That conversation you've been avoiding because you don't
want to get emotional, that's just vulnerability. Calling that dream
you've been sitting on because you're afraid to fail in
front of others, that's vulnerability. Asking for courage, that's apology
(10:54):
you've been meaning to give, or the forgiveness you've been
waiting to extend to someone in your life. That vulnerability
pushing you towards just freedom of the mind. The truth is,
the things that scare us most emotionally are usually the
things that will heal us the most deeply. It's just
(11:17):
that we have to walk through that door without armor.
You're not just trying to prove anything to anyone. You're
just living your truth. That's the foundation of peace, being
honest enough to live without the mask. When you're vulnerable,
(11:39):
you stop living in defense mode. You stop explaining, comparing, performing.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
You just.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Exist as you. And there's something powerful, even sacred about that,
because you realize that people can't really love you if
they don't really know you. They truly don't see you,
and they can't see you if you're always hiding behind
the facade the strong act I'm tough. Here's the thing.
(12:15):
When strength and vulnerability are on opposites, they're dance partners.
The strongest people aren't the ones who never break. They're
the ones who've learned how to bend without losing its shape.
When life hits hard, vulnerability says feel it. Strength says, now,
(12:35):
get back up. And when fear whispers, don't show them,
But then vulnerability answers I'll show them anyway. Because that's
the kind of courage that rebuilds resilience. One of the
last podcasts. If you're listening right now and you've been
(12:58):
carrying something inside of you, a fear of story, of
truth you haven't shared with anyone, maybe it's maybe today,
it's today, you start letting it out, allowing it to breathe,
allowing yourself to breathe. You don't have to tell the
whole world. You don't have to go on to social
(13:19):
media and share it with everyody, but start small. Tell
the truth to yourself first, write it down, say it aloud,
let it exist. That's how healing begins with honesty. Notice
I didn't say share it with anybody, share it with yourself. Yeah,
but I already have it. Write it down. That's how
(13:41):
healing begins with honesty. The longer we hide it, the
heavier it gets. But once it's out, once it's spoken,
it begins to lose its script. It begins to get
lighter and lighter and lighter. This is when you start
realizing that what you were afraid of wasn't the truth itself.
(14:03):
It was your fear of how others may react. But
your truth, it's not shameful. It's sacred. Vulnerability is where
the real connection happens between people within families and inside
relationships that matter. It's where love grows roots. It's where
(14:27):
trust becomes real. It's where authenticity starts taking shape. And
if there's one thing the world needs more of is
it's people who are brave enough to be honest about
their own humanity, not afraid to say I screwed up,
(14:47):
I did X, Y and Z I shouldn't have. It's
not a flaw, it's a feature. It's not a weakness.
It's wisdom. And every time you choose to be open,
every even when you're you remind others that they can
be too. You may think that it to push people
(15:08):
against you away from you, but I think it brings
people closer to you because they now can also be vulnerable.
Why we resist vulnerability. I think a lot of it
has to do our childhood lessons, our social conditioning, masculinity
and great pride. How the fear of being seen runs
(15:30):
deeper than the fear of failing, and how that discomfort
is actually sometimes growth if you allow it to be.
Vulnerability as a superpower. How leaders, creators, and healers use
(15:51):
vulnerability to connect, lead, and inspire. Think about it. Here's
some practical steps to practice vulnerability every day. Easy stuff
conversations forgiveness, honesty, and creativity. Start small, Start small, Be
(16:15):
honest with people. Start with small conversations. Things that have
have been nag you know, gnawing at you for years,
Things that at this point you may think don't even
matter anymore, Like, yeah, it's it's not a big deal anymore, right,
But if you're still thinking about it, it's still there.
It's still eating away at that your your your mind's eye,
(16:41):
and your gut. It's amazing. The fear of being seen,
Let's be honest, Being seen can feel terrifying. Not physically seen,
but the emotional emotionally exposed to the world, because being
seen means someone could look right into you and notice
that there are some cracks, there are some crevices, there
(17:04):
are some flaws, the things you try to keep neatly
hidden behind your humor, your confidence, or I'm too busy,
I have too much going on in my life. It's
wild how much energy people spend trying to look good,
look fine, be the part. I'm successful, I am perfect.
(17:29):
That one word, I'm fine. It's the world's most common disguise.
How are you doing? I'm fine, You're not. You're holding
in tears, you're swallowing frustration, and you're pretending that anxiety
is just a little tired. But we all do it
because we were taught that strength means composure, not honesty.
(17:50):
The truth is, the fear of being seen isn't about
the seeing. It's about the judgment that might follow. What
will they think? Will they still respect me? Will they
see me as a weak person? Will they use it
against me later? Are they laughing at me? Who's pointing
(18:13):
fingers at me? That fear builds thick walls, sometimes entire fortresses.
We become masters of presentation, curators of an image that
says I'm in control. But here's the irony. Control is
an illusion, and vulnerability is what shatters that illusion, not
(18:34):
to break us down, but to set us free. There's
the deep human need to belong right now, we all
want to feel connected, excepted, loved for who we really are.
But belonging can't happen if you're constantly editing yourself to
fit the group of people you're on, or the day
that you're posting or sharing your story. What do I say,
(18:56):
how do I say it? Not gonna tell people the truth.
When you dim your light just to make others comfortable,
you lose your color. When you fake confidence to cover pain,
you rob yourself of the chance to grow. Vulnerability is
a bridge between isolation and belonging. It's what turns how
(19:19):
are you into I understand you. It's a difference between
liking you and people knowing you. And yeah, that's that's
scary because once you let people know you, they can
hurt you. Now correct, they can walk away, they can
(19:42):
see your soft spots. But you know what's worse than
being hurt, never being known. See, here's something that doesn't
get said enough. Vulnerability is the birthplace of everything good. Love,
connection and trust, creativity, intimacy and healing. Every single one
(20:06):
of those requires risk. You can't have love without the
risk of loss. You can't have trust without the risk
of betrayal. You can't have creativity without the risk of rejection.
But if you spend your life trying to avoid pain,
you're also going to avoid joy. And what kind of
(20:29):
life is that? That's not living, that's hiding. Let me
take something powerful. The people who change the world aren't
the ones who hide behind perfection. They're the ones who
stand up and say, here's who I am. Messy, real,
(20:53):
but trying my best. Think about it. Every great leader,
artist or visionary that ever moved people did it through vulnerability.
They spoke from the hearts. They told the truth, They
showed their cracks. Martin Luther King Junior didn't stand at
the podium pretending life was easy. He spoke from his pain,
(21:15):
his life, his hope, his humanity. Johnny Cash didn't sing
about a perfect life ooh. He sang about struggle, guilt, redemption,
and people felt it because it was real. That's the
power of vulnerability. It speaks a universal language. You can
(21:38):
fake confidence, but you can't fake truth. When you speak
from that honest, unpolished space, you connect with people at
the soul level. They might not remember what you said,
but they'll never forget how you made them feel when
you said it. That's impact. Now, let's bring this down
(22:02):
to a personal level, because vulnerability isn't just for big
stages and world leaders. It's for relationships too. You ever
notice how the best conversations in life happen when someone
finally drops the act and they just peel the mask
off and they just they're real when they say something real,
(22:26):
really real, really really really really real, like I miss you,
or I'm scared or I'm sorry, al right, I love you.
Those are vulnerable moments, and they're scared because they're open.
They're opening the door to healing. Sometimes one moment of
(22:49):
honesty can fix what years of avoidance destroyed. One I
didn't mean to hurt. You can thaw an entire season
of silence. But pride. Pride gets in the way fear
of being the first one to admit something, fear of
(23:11):
looking weak. Real strength is being the one who goes first,
because someone has to start the healing, and if not you,
then who Vulnerability has this incredible side effect. You know
what that is Trust. It builds trust. You don't trust
(23:34):
people who pretend to be perfect. You trust people who
are human. When someone's honest about their flaws, you relax.
You think, oh, okay, it's safe to be me here
in this conversation. That's why vulnerability is actually contagious. When
(23:56):
you show it, others do follow. When you lead it,
when you leave with it, you create spaces of truth.
And that's how strong communities, marriages, friendships, and even businesses
are built not by pretending to have it all figured
out nobody does, but by showing up as just real people.
(24:18):
And sometimes it is okay to live unarmored. What does
that mean? To live unarmored doesn't mean you tell everyone
every detail of your life. That's oversharing. It means you
stop pretending to be someone you are not. It's about
alignment your inside matches, you're outside your inside matches. You're outside.
(24:47):
No more acting, no more trying to prove, just being.
And when that happens, you'll remember I said, this life
gets lighter. You start acving more, worrying less, forgiving faster.
You stop carrying stories that just don't belong to you.
(25:08):
You stop trying to control people's perceptions of life or
of you, and you start realizing that peace hasn't come
from perfection. It comes from being authentic. But how do
we practice that? Well, let's get practiced. Like let's get practical,
Like I said, it's start small honesty in small moments.
(25:31):
When someone asks you how you're doing, don't just say fine,
try it's been a tough week, but I'm hanging in there,
or I have actually been better. But when all this
said and done. I'm very grateful. Tiny truths build big courage.
(25:52):
Let allow people to help you. You don't have to
carry it all. Asking for help isn't weakness, it's wisdom
because you're not meant to walk alone. And you know what,
it's okay to say, I don't know. You'd be amazed
(26:12):
at how freeing those three words can be. I don't know.
You'd be amazed how much better you feel after you
say it a couple times. You you I him. We
don't have every answer. We just have to allow ourselves
(26:33):
to stay open to learning. A lot of people stay
armored up because they're ashamed of something something a mistake
they did back in the eighties, a failure, a version
of themselves they wish they could erase. But forgiveness is
what lets you move forward. You can't be vulnerable if
(26:55):
you're still punishing yourself. Just choose to life in a
way that you can be present. Vulnerability can't happen in
the past or the future. It happens right now. When
you're present, you stop rehearsing pain and start experiencing peace.
(27:18):
Vulnerability and gratitude go hand in hand. When you're grateful,
you're open. When you're open, you're vulnerable, and gratitude then
says I don't need everything to be perfect to appreciate
what I have, and that mindset telling you it begins
to shift everything because once you stop chasing approval, you
(27:40):
start living for abundance from abundance, and when you live
from abundance, you stop hiding. Because there's also a spiritual
side to all of this. Vulnerability is what opens the
doors to grace. You don't you can't You can't receive
(28:00):
healing if you won't admit you're hurting, You can't find guidance.
If you won't admit you're lost, You can't outgrow if
you won't admit there's room to grow. That moment you
kneel in honesty, that's where the light comes in. That's
(28:24):
where strength is reborn. I'll be honest. Vulnerability, Oh, it
will test you. It's not that easy. You'll share something
real and not everyone will handle it well or even
understand it, or they're also on their high horse of perfection.
Some people won't know what to do with your honesty,
(28:45):
but that's okay. Not everyone deserves access to your soul.
Vulnerability doesn't mean being open to everyone. It means being
open to the right ones. Discernment is part of a strength,
and sometimes the most vulnerable thing you can do ready
is set boundaries. How many of you are good at
(29:09):
setting boundaries? I'll be honest, but trust me, there is
freedom on the other side of all this. You know
what happens when you live with your walls down. You
stop fearing rejection because you're not auditioning anyone anymore. You
(29:29):
stop fearing loss because you're living honestly, not strategically. You
stop fearing failure because you know you'll survive it. When
all of a sudden, then get you know what happens.
You start to feel free, and in that freedom everything
changes your relationships, your confidence, your creativity, and your peace
(29:56):
because now you're not building from fear, You're building from truth.
So let's let take a deep breath wherever you are.
Closing your eyes is optional, and ask yourself, what am
I still hiding? What story am I tired of carrying alone?
(30:28):
What would happen if I stop pretending and just told
the truth? Would it really be that bad? I mean,
you must think so, because that's why you've done it.
But if it really takes some time to analyze it.
Would it really be that bad? And here's the big one.
Who could I become if I finally let those walls
(30:49):
just tumble down around me and just being filled with
truth and honesty with myself? Let's that sinking, because that's
the invitation right there, not to become someone new, no, no,
no no, but to return to who you've always been. See,
(31:13):
there's an honest truth about that word later later. That
word ruins more dreams than failure ever could. Later. Later
is very seductive, a whispers comfort. It promises time. It's patience.
(31:33):
It's always willing to wait with you, nodding along as
you say. I'll start once I'm ready. I'll try when
I have more money. I'll take the risk. After the holidays,
the new year's coming, I'll start then. I'll work on
that idea once I'm less tired. But here's the hardest truth.
(31:56):
Later does exists. It's a mirage. It's a polite delay
that steals the present moment from under your feet. Every
later you say stacks up like unpaid bills, and eventually
you wake up to find that your one day has
quietly expired. You See, people think procrastination is a time issue.
(32:24):
It's not. It's a belief issue. It's rooted in the
quiet thought that I don't believe in myself to start
right now. That's procrastination. I don't believe in myself enough
(32:45):
to start right now. That's what kills dreams. Not fear,
not rejection, not even failure. It's that slow death of disbelief,
served daily with a sight of excuses. You can't afford
to keep making appointments with your future while standing still
(33:05):
in your present. And if you want to become who
you think you're meant to be, you've got to take
later out of your vocabulary, permanently, replace it with let's begin,
Let's do this. How about right now? Even if it's
(33:27):
a little messy, even if you don't feel it's perfect,
it's really ready yet, because truth be told, you'll never
feel fully ready. Growth isn't about readiness. Growth is about willingness.
You see, the real catalyst is when people ask me
how to change your life, I tell them you don't
need a perfect plan, you need a willing spirit. Willingness
(33:51):
doesn't mean you have all the answers. It means you're
open enough to take one stall, one small, small step,
even when the destination isn't clear. It's easy to wait
for the grand sign the universes go because everything is
perfect right. But most of the time, your breakthrough doesn't
(34:16):
come in flashing neon signs. It shows up quietly, disguises
an idea, a conversation, a gut feeling that nudges you
in a new direction, And you wonder to yourself, is
this it should? I could? I would I And if
you're willing, maybe that's enough. Because willingness invites motion. Motion
(34:38):
invites clarity and clarity, my friend, builds momentum. Before you
know it, you are moving forward. You even notice how
once you start cleaning one corner of your house, suddenly
you're inspired to clean the entire room and then the
rest of the house. That's willingness kicking in the ass.
It's momentum born from doing well, from not waiting. If
(35:04):
you want your life to change, don't pray for strength,
pray for the willingness to do stuff. Strength comes after
the fact. It's the byproduct of walking through resistance, not
the pre requisite. But then, of course, you know, fear,
you want many of my my my regulars know how
(35:24):
much I love the F word. You know the four
letters fear. Let's peel back that layer, because behind almost
every hesitation, behind every I'm not ready, there's something much deeper,
and it's the fear of just change, something different. The
possibility that I may I may fail. Change is in
(35:49):
uncomfortable with disorienting. We think we're afraid of failure, but
what we're really afraid of is actually losing control. We
fear the unknown. We fear how others might react to us,
what they may say. What if I fail? What will
people say as if they don't. We fear that stepping
(36:12):
out means stepping away from old habits, old circles, old
versions of ourselves. But think about it. If the old
version of you could have gotten you where you want
to go, you'd already be there. But you're still here
and nothing seems to be changing. So maybe it's time
to upgrade. What are you still protecting that's keeping you
(36:38):
so small, so ensure of yourself. Maybe it's an identity
because you want to be the responsible one, or the
quiet one, or or the always helpful one. Maybe it's
that damn comfort zone. We know that comfort zone, a
routine that feels safe but suffocates our potential or maybe
(37:01):
it's an old belief, an old lesson, that you're not
smart enough, that you're not experienced enough, that you're just
not lucky enough. Whatever it is, if you keep feeding it,
it will keep you locked in the same pattern, and
patterns are prisons when they go unchecked. Growth requires rebellion,
(37:24):
not against others, but against your own limits. You've got
to revolt against that voice that says not yet, because
the voice doesn't care about your success. It only cares
about your survival. And there's a big difference between surviving
and living. There's a moment in every journey where you
(37:45):
have to look yourself dead in the eye and ask,
am I really doing everything that I can? Question's that's
like real, honest because most of the time the answer
(38:06):
is no, not because we're lazy, but because we're afraid
of discovering how powerful we could be if we actually tried.
Think about that. How many of us are actually afraid
to succeed more than you think, more than failure. People
(38:26):
romanticize potential. He's got potential, She's full of potential. Potential, potential, potential,
But potential means nothing if it's not activated. It's like God,
you know, he's a possibility, she has a possibility. They
ain't doing shit. It has to be activated. It's compliment,
(38:49):
but with an expiration date? How long would this potential last?
Because the mirror, your mirror doesn't lie. It knows when
you've been coasting, stalling, dragging your feet. It knows when
you've been talking about the dream more than living it.
It knows when you've been making excuses and calling it.
(39:11):
I need perfect timing. Things have to line up, the
stars have to line up. The mirror moment isn't meant
to shame you. It's meant to wake you up, to
remind you that you still have time, but not forever.
The beauty of being human is that you can start
again today and tomorrow and the next day. You can pivot,
(39:34):
you can rewrite, you can rebuild, you can reignite whatever
it takes. But it starts with honesty because you can't
fix what you won't face reclaiming, reclaiming it all. It's
not easy looking back at everything I've been talking about,
(39:57):
finishing this podcast and then going all right tea talking
about when it comes to me, do I have this issue?
Because it happens somewhere along the way sometimes we just
lose our fire. Maybe it's from disappointment, too many disappointments.
Maybe it's from exhaustion. Maybe life's been throwing so many
(40:18):
punches and you've been too busy ducking to just dream anymore.
But that fire, that hunger, that vision, that part of
you that refuses to settle, it's not gone. It's really not.
(40:42):
It's just buried under layers of doubt and routine. You
can reignite it, how well, Start with remembering why you
started in the first place. When you strip away the
money of the recognition, the titles, what was it you
really wanted? Was it freedom? Was at peace? Was it
(41:03):
pride in yourself? Was it to leave a legacy? Reconnect
to that and you'll a You'll find your spark again,
because the truth is, you can't stay stuck when you
remember your why, because this fuels you. It burns away excuses.
It makes fear look small and obstacles look temporary, because
(41:24):
everything is temporary. You've got to get hungry again, hungry
for your life, hungry to see what happens if you
stop holding back and finally bet and believe and trust
in yourself. Here's something most people get wrong. You don't
need a massive breakthrough to change your life. You don't.
(41:49):
You just need consistent small shifts in the right direction.
Change is in a lightning bolt. It's a series of
small sparks, tiny daily acts that build into something that
becomes unstoppable. Wake up twenty minutes earlier, read instead of scroll,
Talk to that stranger, take the scenic route, Say yes
(42:13):
when fear says no. Each small shift is like turning
a dial one degree at a time, until suddenly your
entire direction changes. Notice there's a constant in my podcast.
It's always about baby steps, small steps, one thing at
a time. And the funny part, once you start making
(42:36):
small moves, the universe starts to meet you halfway. Doors
will open, people will appear, and ideals will ideas will align.
They do, but you've got to give it something to
work with, because every day you wake up with a
choice stay as you are or choose to evolve. It's
(43:02):
not about luck. It's not about waiting for the stars
to align. It's not about choosing growth deliberately, deliberately, repeatedly,
and unpot of gelt, unapologetically. You We were not designed
(43:23):
to stay stagnant. Everything in our nature evolves, Trees grow,
rivers shift, even the stars above burn and change. So
why would you, a being of infinite infinite potential, just
stay stuck. Evolution doesn't require perfection, it requires participation. You
(43:48):
don't have to know what's next. You just have to
show up for the next step. Because when you keep
showing up, clarity reveals itself. Not before, but it's through
the process, and before you know it, you'll look back
and realize you didn't just survive your past, you outgrew it.
And then before you know it, you've created great positive
habits and you've become unstoppable. But let's be honest, unstoppable
(44:15):
doesn't mean you never get tired or scared or even lost.
It means you keep moving anyway. Every person you've ever admired,
every success story, every leader, every builder, every dreamer has
been knocked flat down at some point. The difference they
(44:35):
chose to not stay down. They got back up, They regrouped,
they learned, they adjusted, they pushed again. You see, people
think unstoppable means bulletproof. It means you've learned how to
bend without breaking. It means you've been through the kind
of storms that use to terrify you, and now you
(44:57):
walk through them with your code open. You're no longer fearless.
You're faithful, faithful to your vision, your growth, your purpose.
You trust that if you keep putting one foot in
front of the other, the ground will meet you. Being
unstoppable is about decision that destiny. It's a line you
(45:20):
draw into the sand that says I'm not quitting, not
this time. That is the kind that doesn't dream. It builds.
Let's talk about something that separates wishful thinkers from real doers,
the D word discipline. Discipline isn't sexy, it doesn't trend
(45:45):
on social media, it doesn't give you instant gratification. But
discipline builds kingdoms. Discipline is doing what needs to be done,
especially when you don't feel like doing it, because your
feelings will lie to you. They'll tell you not today,
they'll tell you you've done enough. They'll tell you it's
(46:07):
fine to skip it just this once. But discipline, that's
the quiet voice that says, just do it anyway. You
don't need more motivation, you need more follow through. Motivation
gets you started, Discipline gets you finished. You want to
(46:27):
change your life, make discipline your best friend. Wake up
to it, eats, breakfast with it, fall asleep next to it.
Because when the hype fades, when nobody's cheering, when life
gets loud and complicated, it's discipline that will carry you forward.
(46:50):
It's the bridge between wishing and winning. And the best
part is once you build it, you never lose it.
I mean, like the word resistance. That doesn't sound like
a big gift, huh, but it is. Every obstacle, every delay,
every hard season has a purpose to toughen you. Think
(47:11):
about the gym. If you want stronger muscles, you've got
to lift heavier weight. Resistance tears the muscles so it
can rebuild the muscle stronger. Life works the same way.
Those hard moments aren't there to break you, there to
reveal you, to show you what's inside of you. You
(47:33):
learn more about yourself and struggle than you ever will
in comfort. You discover what you value and who you
can count on, and what you are made of. So
the next time something blocks your path, don't curse it,
don't run from it, study it, ask what is this
(47:53):
trying to teach me? What muscle am I supposed to
be building?
Speaker 1 (47:57):
Here?
Speaker 2 (47:58):
That mindset turns resistance into training, and training turns pain
into power. But now let's talk about the people around
you or you're doing all of this. Let's get real
for a second. You can't grow around people who don't
(48:19):
want you to one more time. You can't grow, succeed,
be happy around people that don't want to see you grow,
be happy and succeed. That's tough. Some folks love you, sure,
(48:42):
but they love you comfortable. The last thing they want
you to do is do better than them. Maybe they've
been trying to get into a college their entire life
and they've just been too lazy.
Speaker 1 (48:52):
To do it.
Speaker 2 (48:53):
Whatever, Now you go to them and you say that
you're going to do it, and their thing is like,
oh my god, no, no, no, that's a waste of
time because for them it was waste of time. People
like to, you know, keep misery. So why you can't
grow around people who don't want you to grow. They
(49:15):
don't mean harm most of the time, surprisingly, but they
will put you back down the moment you start to rise,
because your growth reminds them of their stagnation. You need
people who challenge you, you just not cheer you. You
need folks who will call you out when you're slipping,
(49:36):
not coddle your excuses. Surround yourself with people who talk
about ideas, not gossip. People who celebrate your wins and
push you to keep going. People who don't just clap
when you rise, but they rise with you. Because here's
the truth, environment shapes energy. If you hang around five
(49:59):
drive even people, you my friend, will be the sixth.
If you hang around with five negative five negative ones,
you will be the sixth. Protect your circle like your
future depends on it, because it does. And if you
don't have those people yet in your life, start by
(50:22):
being that person yourself. You'll attract others on that same frequency.
It's you talking to you, always you. By now you've
probably realized the hardest thing about growth isn't learning new things,
it's unlearning the things that kept you small. You spent
(50:42):
years carrying beliefs that weren't yours, to hand me downs
from society, the limiting beliefs to parents, the failure of
the failure, and maybe, just maybe it's time to set
them down for good, because the truth is you've always
had what it took you, just stop believing it for
a while. Think back right now, there must have been
(51:05):
a point in your life that you were just unstoppable,
and then something happened. I don't want to go into
what it could have been, but you just stopped. All
that strength to your mare and others, you do have it,
(51:29):
all that wisdom you search for in books and quotes,
You've lived enough life to have it. The moment you
stop waiting for permission to begin, you reclaim your power back.
The moment you stop apologizing for outgrowing your past, you
start building your future back. You don't need another sign.
You are the sign. You're not to be hind you're
(51:53):
not too late, and you're not unqualified. You are becoming,
and becoming never stops. So before I end again, remember
take a deep breath, then hal and exhale inhale belief
and exhale doubt, and feel the ground beneath you, feel
(52:17):
the life inside of you, and remember you still have time.
How long. It's not forever. So I advise you. I
challenge you right now, make the call, write the plan,
start the thing, not later, not someday, now, because if
(52:41):
you're brave enough to begin, you're already strong enough to succeed.
The one percent rule. Every day, improve by just one percent.
That's it. And over a year. That's a thirty seven
fold improvement. Every day when you're in the bathroom and
(53:06):
you're walking through, look yourself in the eye each morning
in the mirror and ask yourself, am I doing what
I said I would? That honesty keeps you aligned. Notice
who you're spending time with. Are they energized? Are the
energizing or are they draining? That's when you need to
(53:30):
adjust accordingly. Remember, I'm not asking you to escape who
you are. It's about returning to the truth of who
you've always been. Because you are capable, you're resilient. You
are a work in progress, and that's exactly how it
should be. The reset isn't a one time button you press.
(53:55):
It's a daily choice, a choice to let go of
yesterday's version of you and walk boldly into the new one,
the better one, the updated version of you two point zero.
Understand that your story isn't finished. You're still becoming, and
I believe the best part you're writing it in real time,
(54:17):
like now today. So whatever has been holding you back, fear, doubt, comfort, comparison,
it's time to just loosen that grip. Because life isn't waiting,
and neither should you. Reset yourself again and again and again,
(54:39):
until your outside world finally reflects the strength, faith, and
purpose that's been inside of you all along. Here's a story.
Think about a woman by the name of Maria. A
single mom. She had been working two jobs, juggling bills,
and caring for her kids, all while quietly dreaming of
(55:01):
starting her own small bakery. One day, every day fear
told her, you can't do this, you will fail. But
one morning, finally she whispered to herself, I have to try,
even if it's scary. So she took a tiny step.
One tiny step. She rented a tiny booth in a
(55:26):
local farmer's market. She didn't get a storefront, she didn't
take a bank loan, she didn't start buying ovens. She
made twenty cupcakes and she posted a simple photo online.
People loved them. She started building a following, and now
she finally does run a thriving bakery, employees local teens,
(55:48):
and inspires other parents to take their own leaps. Maria's
story is proof vulnerability starts small. It starts with saying
I owe risk being seen, and that risk becomes the
first brick and a life built on courage. Courage here's
(56:09):
the truth. We rarely admit. Most of us fear intimacy,
not because we dislike people, but because we dislike our
own vulnerability. You might hold back in relationships, thinking if
I share too much, they might leave. If I show weakness,
I may be judged. But here's the reality. Relationships thrive
(56:30):
on transparency. When you dare to say I'm scared but
I want to try, or I'm hurt but I'm willing
to forgive, you invite connection. Love isn't built on perfection.
It's built on risk, honesty, and showing up even when
it's uncomfortable. And let's be real, this applies to all
kinds of relationships, romantic, family relationships, friendships, and even professional connections.
(56:54):
People resonate with authenticity. When you're real, you bear good
salesmen or sales they feel your courage and consciously or not,
mirror it. Want you to think about Thomas Edison. I
mentioned him quite often because he famously said I have
(57:16):
not failed. I have just found ten thousand ways that
that won't work. He understood something crucial. Success is the
absence of failure. It's the willingness to keep going through it.
The same applies to you. The moment you stop fearing failure,
you unlock a freedom few ever experience, because then your
(57:40):
efforts are no longer about protecting your ego. They're just
about growth, learning and the possibilities, the many possibilities. What
should you do? Speak your truth daily, even if it's
just with yourself, in a journal or in a mirror.
(58:02):
Name your feelings. Be honest about your struggles. What's going
on in here? Say it out loud, say it to
a mirror, seek feedback, Ask trusted people for constructive criticism.
Open yourself to learning without defensiveness. Share one thing that
(58:24):
scares you. It could be admitting a mistake, expressing appreciation,
or starting a difficult conversation. This is a big one. Ready,
reflect before reacting, pause before you respond in anger, shame,
or fear. Vulnerability requires conscious choice, not knee jerk reactions.
(58:48):
Something happens, don't just jump to it. Breathe and when
you do well, even if it's small, celebrate your courage.
Every time you risk being seen, celebrate it. Reinforce the
habit of bravery, because that's pretty badass. And as I said,
(59:15):
I uh, I'm a true believer. Every week I do
this show and every week. I think of you, all
of you, and the many conversations that I hear or
here and there that people share in restaurants, grocery stores,
or people that I've dealt with in the past, and
(59:38):
it breaks my heart to see people not fight to
be the person they truly were, and to actually believe
that they are this facade of who they've created, who
they are not. I hope I made you think. I
hope I made you question your existence into a pre
(01:00:00):
shade every tomorrow, every today, and be grateful for all
of the experiences of the past that have made you
who you are. Right now, keep this in mind. Choose
action over excuses, purpose over comfort, and the work that
matters over the distractions that don't. My name is Jimmyganzaland
