Listener discretion is advised.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Dearly beloved, we'll gather here today to get through this
thing called life.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
You are listening to the Reset Yourself? What need you podcast?
With your whole Hello, thank you, thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you. I appreciate it. Now, before I begin,
(01:17):
let me just state to fact so that I don't
get too many emails that I know I will get
and receive and messages and texts. It's like what's wrong
with your eye? Basically, So for those of you that
don't know, I have a new love in my life. Holly,
my mustang. She I love her, wonderful horse. But yesterday
(01:42):
I usually take her out for a walk, like literally,
she's my big dog. And it was starting to get dark,
which I've never done before. Learned your lesson, and I,
you know, let her out of her area and we
go and we eat fresh grass in different locations because
she's a lot of grass. And by the time I
(02:03):
got her back to her pen, it was now dark.
So she's moving around, I'm moving around and it is dark,
so she goes down to eat something off the ground,
and I see her and I didn't realize where she
was at that moment because just it happens, and I
(02:26):
went down and her head went up. And have any
of you ever been either hopefully not, but shot in
the face. No, no, no, no, that's not a good
one because it's to me, a bullet is more direct
hit in the face with a huge piece of metal.
(02:52):
That's the best way I can describe it. The fact
that I'm currently not dead or in the hospital basically
shows that, well, I've I have a very hard head,
and I have a habit of hitting my head often.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
It's it's fascinating. But she clocked me.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
So hard right here, like like her whole the side
of her skull. That to me, it was like Thor's hammer.
And I even though it was dark, I do remember
that once she hit me, all I saw was bright white.
(03:36):
And I got up because my first thing is like,
first off, I don't want to fall anywhere and be
trampled by her, and I want to be able to
focus and you know, walk away. So she kind of
like stood back as if she knew something happened, and
I was able to stagger slowly, and I still had
(03:59):
to do stuff with the chickens, but to put them
away for the evening. But I uh, I thought I
broke my skull. Not trying to be funny. I thought
I broke, Like I don't, I don't know. I don't
know how I didn't pass out. I think I was
(04:20):
a hair away from passing out.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
It was.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
It was such an impact, and I usually am one,
I just go in. I'm like, I'm fine. I don't know.
I actually went in. I was looking for a bag
of frozen peas, knowing me all we had was at
a mama.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
So broke that up.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Put that on my eye, and then I recorded my
my meditation last night because yesterday had an incredibly long day.
I had to drive up to Louisville, and so I
just sat there and thank God that this, this is
all that happened. Basically, it's just a little tiny cut
(04:58):
right there on the edge, just not that bad. But
the atamame, which I loved very much. If you've never
had any shame on you, it saved my face because,
as Melissa says, I would have woken up today looking
like Rocky because like I said, it was this entire thing.
(05:18):
My skull at that time hurt. I felt it. It was,
it was, it was very.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Painful, and I feel fine fine.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Melissa will always say that she doesn't think I'm fine,
but still I feel fine except for this, which actually
this doesn't even hurt either. So I am truly, truly, truly,
truly blessed that.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
This is all I got.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
So anyway, so I just wanted to answer that.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
So here goes.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
In this weekly podcast, I focus on sparking your inner
confidence and igniting your belief and yourself. I am your host,
and I'm always very very thrilled to share my thoughts
and research with you as we go along on this journey.
Today's topic I say this for.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
All of them.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
I love it. You can nurture a mindset that empowers
you to reach your fullest potential. I write and record,
actually just finished writing it. This episode to challenge your
thinking and to encourage you. You to reflect and inspire actionable,
realistic steps towards your personal growth. Actionable whether you're facing
(06:26):
a career transition, seeking to overcome challenges, or simply striving
for greater fulfillment in life. This podcast has now been
the go to resource for thousands of people.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Across this planet. For me, I was just.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Happy that it was on this app that I use.
I was able to watch the States and I was like,
oh my god, I'm in New York. Oh my god,
I'm in California.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
It's around the planet.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I am on a podcast in India where they play
my stuff, which I think is awesome, and I'm truly
humbled by that. Ireland and the United Arab I'm rightes
big listeners. So my inspiration to do this every week
is to show you how to focus on what you
(07:11):
can accomplish so that you can get the things you
want when you want them. But you gotta do the work. Sorry,
if you're gonna sit there, it's not gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
If you're gonna.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Loyally listen to this podcast every week. Now you can
watch it and just listen to it and go okay,
and then turn it off and nothing changes in your life.
Shame on you. Shame on you, because honestly, that's not
why I do this. The fact that I take this
much time so that you can listen to it and
(07:45):
go okay and then it's just over. Please don't do that.
Don't waste my time. I want you to listen to it.
I want you to become the person that you really are,
such a much better person. And if I can believe
in you as much as I do, and I do
that by taking this time, it means the world to me.
(08:08):
So let us begin with the topic. By the way,
this is episode one hundred and ninety two. There's been
one hundred and ninety two of these, so it is
basically about stepping into your unstoppable mindset.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Think about that.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Today. I want to step into the fact, the concept
that you can change everything right now.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
It's not yeah, no, actually it is. It is because
I've done it.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I do it daily, even days, and I feel like
shit and I go backwards because we are human. We
are human. But how many times have you had a
shitty day and somebody makes one comment or my favorite,
you hear a song, It just brings you back to something. Nostalgia.
I love nostalgia, and it brings you back to a
(09:05):
moment and before you know it, you're singing like a fool.
You're driving, you don't care if people are at the
light looking at you. Life is good. The fact that
you just had the worst morning.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Who cares?
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Everything is temporary? You know, it's not temporary death, but
everything in life is temporary. I don't care what happens.
I was just having a conversation with somebody about the
tragedy of, like God forbid, getting into a horrible car accident.
And people don't say that it's called life. Things happen
or like, uh oh, something bad happened. It's like I'm
(09:38):
not six years old anymore. Bad things happen. The question
is what do you do from this moment on not
harp on the bad crap? And to do that, to
have that focus is having an unstoppable mindset. When you
(10:00):
hear the word unstoppable, what comes to mind? Maybe you
picture a train thundering down the tracks. Maybe it's the power.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Of the ocean waves that just never stop.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Maybe it's that fire in your chest that refuses to
go out no matter how many storms you have walked through.
You know that fire, that fire of inspiration when you
get this idea and all of a sudden, it just
starts piecing together like a puzzle. Being unstoppable isn't about
never facing obstacles. I would never I've god, I can
(10:34):
never live a life without obstacles. I can never live
a life without mistakes, without screw ups, fuck ups.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
I can never do that. It happens, it happens.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
I don't focus on the fact that, oh my god,
oh I can't believe I could die.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
What a horrible thing it happens.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
And it's funny because I knew it too, because I
never take her out at night. Well it wasn't night,
it became night, but I had her out for a while,
knowing that even if you stumble, even if you fall,
even if you get knocked the hell down, just get up.
(11:12):
Don't run to Facebook and start woe is me?
Speaker 5 (11:14):
Everybody my sins and these are my mistakes, and oh
my god, and so so and so has screwed me
over and this person lied to me, and that person
cheated on me, and this person left me, and this
I feel betrayed, and I'm.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Horrible, smallest violin. No one cares because it's happening to everybody.
It's not that nobody cares about you, It's just that
your problems people like to hear when you have dealt
with them, when you have learned from them, and.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
You have moved on from them. Understand that every.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Every single time that you do something, you have to
have that. You should have the attitude of unstoppable, knowing
that being unstoppable isn't a form of perfection.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Unstoppable is just persistence.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
It's that train, even that train roaring down the tracks
has issues with the machinery. Not enough coal, too much coal. Uh,
you know, just it's it's the I think the wheels
aren't greased up enough.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
But it's persistent. It's grit, it's resilience.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
It's choosing again and again to rise when everything else says,
and everybody else in your life says, stay down. Think
about your own life. Think about all the things you've
already survived. This is my focus. I'm directing this show,
this episode to every single one of you listening as
(12:43):
I'm talking, Please think about this. Think about all the
things that you've already survived, already overcome in your life,
including the people that have screwed.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
You over and hurt you.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
And here's here's here's a little sight tip for some
of you. If you're pondering somebody who hurts you or
cheated or lied to you, and you bring their memory
back and you feel angry or dissatisfied or hurt or
what that's horrible. You don't do that because that just
means that they're still controlling you.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
It was just a lesson.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Think about all the moments that you weren't sure that
you'd get through, but you did that. Right there, my friends,
is proof proof that you are stronger that you've given
you've given yourself the credit for. And if you want
even more proof, look back when you were young. This actually,
(13:45):
right here is what started my whole concept. I was daydreaming,
and I was meditating, and I was thinking about my life,
and for some reason, I just my mind jumped to
kindergarten Saint Charles' School, Bridgework, Connecticut, with my teacher, Missus Roberts. No, no, no, no, No.
(14:05):
Kindergartener was Missus Simmons, the first lady that I ever
saw growing up in the hood that actually had long
blonde hair.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
I just I was like, she's she's a goddess. It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
I have never seen that. It was just it's amazing,
And she was the kindest person in the world. I
hope she's she's doing well. But remember the challenges that
felt massive back then for me learning how to tie
my shoes the way we were taught was we were
given this book of pages that like the main the
(14:39):
shoelaces like were on the back page, and everything flipped
over and it was the story. Excuse me, but the
laces were there, and that's where you practiced. The problem
is I mastered quickly. I was probably one of the
first in the class to master how to do it
right there now, doing it on my shoe. That was
(15:00):
a problem. I guess I just see life differently or
at the same thing. Learning to tell time on the
clock with hands that seemed to never make sense because
my thing was I did learn pretty quick, but then
I would walk around and see other clocks around the
(15:21):
school and other places that.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Had no numbers.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
So I was already at as a child, traumatized and
terrified that what happens if one day I need to
tell time and there's no numbers?
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Then I went to Catholic school with the nuns, and
across the top of the chalkboards we had a strip
of letters that were incursive for me to Z obviously,
well it was like capital a lower case A, you know,
And I remember I remember just staring at them, going
(15:57):
what the hell is that? Looking at like Z and
why and just like, how would I ever do that?
And why would I do that? Because in my life
you don't need that? And actually it's funny that we
talk about that, because my daughter today, I must have
connected her somehow. She posted today a whole thing about
cursive writing, and you know it, it was good. It
(16:18):
helps you, and it's funny that I just sent her
back a story about how in Kentucky this school year,
around the entire state, it's mandatory for kids to learn
cursive and I know half here are like so very
I think it's not. I just think it's something else
that you should learn instead of this. Okay, Because funny
(16:41):
thing is, I recently had to do a lot of
writing for a class. My handwriting looked like I was
having a mild stroke or a seizure. It was so bad,
and I kept like, I've never you know, you don't
realize everything I do is I type, I type on
my key, I type up my laptop, I type on
(17:01):
my phone, type type, type, type type. And I've been
typing since I was part of the original group that
started the PCs, you know, the Commodore sixty four and
all that stuff. So I was writing code when that happened,
I would write physically, writes less and less and less
and less. So now asking me to write now bad bad,
(17:25):
But that I feel is a wonderful thing. Plus learning
different languages. My first language was Spanish. I grew up
in a Spanish household, and then I had to learn English.
And for those of you that know me close, know
how much I don't care for the English language. There's
(17:45):
just a lot of issues I have with the language,
with words, with phrases, with sentences. But it is what
it is. What am I going to do just go
through life complaining about it. It is what it is.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
You learn it.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
But back then, those weren't small things. When you were small,
they felt huge, They felt impossible. You tried, and you failed,
and then you tried again. Some days you wanted to
give up, you wanted to run away and cry into
a closet, but you didn't. You stuck with it, and
then eventually.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
You won.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Now, now when you look back at those struggles, funny
thing is you almost laugh. Tying shoes, writing your name
second nature? Now correct? Reading a clock with numbers or without?
How about Roman numerals? Actually, for some reason, oddly I
(18:41):
picked up a Roman numerals instantly, which you think it
would be difficult, but no, I picked up on it,
thank God, very easily. To this day, I could look
at it at a tattoo that people have with all
the letters and read it and I'm like, hm. But
at one time those were all mountains for me and
probably for you that we had to climb. But what
does that tell you you about yourself, your trials and
(19:03):
tribulations of life. It tells you that every new challenge ahead,
no matter how intimidating it feels right now, because trust me,
until your last day on this earth, you're going to
have challenges, and hopefully most of them shrink in the
(19:24):
rear view mirror of your life. With enough persistence, with
enough practice, with enough sacrifice, the impossible will become effortless.
And that's the heartsbeat of being unstoppable. You've done it before,
you'll do it again. The proof is already in your history.
(19:45):
My co producer Henry, So, when the new challenges show up, okay,
the exams, the risks, the goals, the fears, you don't
have to wonder if you can do it, if you
can deal with it, you already know the truth you've
already dealt with it. You've already been in this rodeo
(20:07):
time and time again. At some point it stops affecting
you because you've created the knowledge to understand what your
fear is, what your challenges are, what your goals are.
You've already been the kind of person who just figures
it out. You don't go it is what it is.
It is. You don't, especially if it's it's demeaning, it's
(20:28):
breaking you down, it's it's creating fear. It's not a
healthy thing. Fear is not a healthy thing. And and
I've shared with people in the past, for my for
those of you that believe in a higher power, a
higher being, God, goddess, universe, fear comes from negativity. Come
(20:50):
to my opinion, it just comes from the dark side. Okay,
now I'm not talking about fear of something that you
should fear. I'm talking about actually the only the only
fear that we're born with is the fear of falling.
Every other fear we're taught. So if you have a
fear of something, the way you deal with is you
ask yourself where to come from, and don't just say
oh or no, no, you do the research. You ask,
(21:11):
you find out, you make phone calls, and then once
you do, you start to piece your puzzle together. And
when you're done, you now have a finished puzzle in
front of you without fear, because that is not something
you want in your life. So when new challenges show up,
whether there exam risk, goals, and fears, you don't have
to wonder if you can do it. You learn the truth.
(21:35):
Fear is ignorance. Fear is not knowing something, not understanding
something you've already. Like I said, you will continue to
be that person if you deal with your problems, that
will be unstoppable, relentless, and unshaken. Now this isn't just
like motivation. This is this is memory, This is proof.
(21:58):
I'm asking you to go into your mind instead of
me just inspiring you going he was inspirational. No, I'm
asking you tap into your mind when we're done, or
pause me right now and sit there and just ponder
your life and think of your life. The truth is
you've already been unstoppable. This isn't something brand new. It's
(22:18):
already built into your DNA, already in your story, already
in your spirit. But today today I want to call
it out. I want to hold you responsible for these thoughts.
I want to amplify it, not run from it. Why
run from what a memory we're going to turn up.
(22:40):
I want to turn up the volume on that unstoppable
belief until it becomes the loudest voice in your life
that you will say, I believe in myself, not I
believe in myself. Because here's the reality. Once we're done
with this podcast and you go on your day, life
is gonna test you. It will push, it will challenge,
(23:05):
It will whisper lies in your ear telling you that
you're not enough, that you are not ready, that you
are a coward, that you are not capable. Fear fear,
fear fear. But here's the answer that you carry. Remember this,
I am unstoppable. This is something you should be saying,
(23:27):
staying in your head all the time wherever you are.
Whisper it, Say it aloud, let it thunder in your mind,
in your soul, feel it in your bones. Don't just
say it, feel it. I am unstoppable. Feel those words
in your chest, let them echo throughout your soul. Because
(23:50):
this isn't just a phrase. It's a decision, a decision
to walk forward no matter what a decision to not
let fear, doubt, or delay when or procrastination, a decision
to believe that you were made for more. You were
and you're not stopping until you reach it. Let's think
(24:17):
feel this unstoppable power together. The word unstoppable. Dig into it.
I don't want it to just become another motivational poster
that you write somewhere, I'm unstoppable, another buzzword that will
(24:40):
lose power by six o'clock tonight. Unstoppable isn't about speed.
It's not about being the fastest, the smartest, or the
strongest person in the room. Unstoppable is a direction. It's
a choice. It's a decision. It's about the decision to
move forward, no matter how long it takes, no matter
how how many detours, no matter how many obstacles fall
(25:04):
in your path. Think of a river. The river doesn't
just stop when a rock drops in its way. It bends,
it shifts, it finds a.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
New route it.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
But what does it always do? It keeps moving. That's unstoppable.
Being unstoppable doesn't mean that you'll never feel fear. You will.
It doesn't mean you'll never face setbacks. You will. It
doesn't mean life will lay down and make it easy
(25:37):
for you. I hope now would that would suck. That's
a lazy man's way of thinking. I just want everything
to be easy, lazy. Unstoppable means you keep going anyway,
the difference between stopping and pausing. There's an important distinction here. Okay,
(26:00):
some people confuse unstoppable with never resting. That's not true.
Even the strongest need to breathe. Even the river slows
in quiet pools, even the train pauses at stations. Unstoppable
doesn't mean burnout. Okay. It doesn't mean overdo it and
(26:20):
lose your mind. It doesn't mean recklessly pushing until you
physically collapse. It means simply refusing to give up on
the bigger vision. It means that rest, recovery, and even
setbacks are just a part of the process. That you
need to rest, but they don't define the outcome. When
(26:43):
you're unstoppable, you may pause, but you just don't quit.
Let's be real. Society sells us this dream that things
should be smooth if we're meant for it. That's a
crock of shit. If you're on the right path, everything
just magically falls into place. That's a myth. Think back
(27:08):
again to when you were a kid. Was tying your
shoes smooth, was learning to ride a bike, graceful, was
learning to speak, to write, to read effortless. Not a
chance you fell, You got frustrated, you wanted to quit.
Quick story. I actually learned how to ride a bike
(27:29):
late in my in my well, not late. I learned
what I was about thirteen twelve or thirteen, simply because
I just never had a bike, never had access to
a bicycle. And then this kid down the street, Henry Torres,
little kid had a bicycle and he was like half
my height and he had a bicycle. And that kid
would fly up and down the street like crazy. And
one day he's like, you want you want to ride
(27:50):
my bicycle? And I would just do the whole No,
I'm good, and I'm good. I didn't know how to
ride a bicycle. So finally he's like, oh my god,
just ride it. And he asked me, do you know
how to ride a bicycle? And I'm like no, he said,
oh my god. So I got on the bicycle. And
my yard on my address was four oh seven Shelton Street, Bridgeport, Connecticut,
and it was like our yard, our fence, and then
(28:12):
there was another lot which actually was just our property,
but it had a long fence. And I remember to
this day getting on the bicycle starting to pedal, leaning
sideways towards the fence, face and shoulder in the fence
and just sliding for about ten feet and just scraping
my face up, my arm up, everything, probably hitting my
(28:34):
head again. But thank god, he was a good person
and he came out to me his first It wasn't laughing.
He was just like, oh my god, are you okay?
And I was like sure, So I got off the bicycle.
I waited a little while he rode back and forth
(28:54):
like a little monster, and then he was like, do
you want to try again? And I was like yeah,
this time I made sure to like kick with my
and I did everything and would you believe this? The
following summer I was actually sponsored by a bicycle shop
called Spoken Wheel in Bridgeport and I was racing Redline
bicycles up in the Trumble track and a few different
(29:16):
tracks with the whole suit and everything. One year. So
I want you to pause for a second and look
at your own history. Not the perfect vision a version,
the Instagram perfect highlights, the raw real moments. Think about
the last time you thought I can't do this. Maybe
(29:38):
it was a class you thought you'd fail. Maybe it
was a job that drained you, a relationship that drained you.
Maybe it was a season of life for everything and
everybody was stacked against you. You've probably felt that you
were drowning. But here's my question to you. Are you
(29:59):
still listening? Like right now, are you are you listening
to me? Because if you're listening to me, that actually
means I guess you're still here. That means you made
it through somehow, some way, you figured it out. And
if you can figure it out, then why not. Now,
what's the difference. That's the thing about being unstoppable. It's
(30:20):
not a future trait you need to earn. It's something
you've already proven time and time and time again, my friends,
you have the receipts to prove it. That's the thing
about being unstoppable. It's not it's it's it is a choice.
But you've already mastered it so many times. Here's another perspective, shift.
(30:43):
Obstacles aren't walls meant to stop you. They are weights
meant to strengthen you. When you lift the weight. Your muscles.
Resist it burns, it feels heavy. But the very resistance
is what makes you stronger when you In the same way,
(31:03):
every challenge in your path shapes you, strengthens you, inspires you,
It prepares you, It builds you. So instead of asking
why is this so hard? Why is everybody out to
get me? Blah blah blah, what strength is this building you?
(31:23):
Right now? Why are you going through the things You're
going through the situations, the experiences, instead of putting the
energy towards Oh my god, I'm going through X, Y
and Z and my life sucks and I can't do
it and I'm drawing. Oh my god, I'm sorry. You
need to You need to man up or woman up, okay,
and you got to change your energy instead of instead
(31:46):
of what's bringing you down? How are you going to
strengthen yourself? How are you going to live a better
life and unstoppable life? Sacrifice and work? Yes, there will
be sacrifice. I know a lot of you rolled your eyes.
I just want to sit on my couch, roll through
my roku and just let life happen. Well, anyway, here's
(32:13):
the truth. You you you, and I think you have
probably sacrificed before. You've put in the work before. Every
major step in your life, every skill, every victory of accomplishment,
came with some cost, and you have already paid for it.
So again, why stop now? Why doubt yourself? Now? If
(32:40):
you could pay the price back, then you can pay
the price again, because what's on the other side of
sacrifice is always worth it. Imagine, imagine planting a seed,
as I just finished doing for the past few months.
At first, weak, small, fragile, but that seed holds unstoppable
(33:07):
power because once it takes root, it will push through soil,
through stone, through anything in its way to reach the light.
That's why you are here. You may feel small at moments,
(33:27):
but the truth is you are built with the same
unstoppable force inside of you. You have that seed inside
of you, and every time you choose to grow, you
prove it. Let's for a moment, let's strip this down
a little bit more. Unstoppable doesn't mean flawless, it doesn't
mean fearless, it doesn't mean easy. It means I will
(33:51):
try again, I will sacrifice what needs to be sacrificed.
I will bend but I will not break. I will
rest but I will not quit. I will rise no
matter how many times I fall. That is unstoppable. Right now,
(34:17):
take a breath, Feel that truth settle in your chest.
I will rise no matter how many times I fall.
Say it again, I am unstoppable. Say it again, Let
(34:37):
it echo, let it sink in, because this is not
just something you're hoping for, it's something you already are.
We've already talked about when unstoppable really means I've broke
it down, and I broke it down again. Now we've
looked back at your history, you've heard some of my history,
at the challenges that you've already conquered, at the sacrifices
(34:59):
you already made, and all of that is proof proof
that you are stronger than you think. But now comes
the important part. How do you build this unstoppable mindset
every single day? Ah? Because being unstoppable isn't just something
(35:19):
you talk about, it's something you actually train for, you
work for. Just like muscles don't just grow overnight, neither
does unshakable belief. It takes practice, it takes focus, it
takes consistent effort. But the good news is even small
(35:42):
choices at up the first step is the ultimate evil
and what is that. It's you, it's your mindset. It's
a stupid, weak, cowardly fearful words you use. I can't,
(36:04):
I won't. This is too hard, I'm not ready. What
if I fail? You want to talk about evil? If
you think about, but think about on the big scheme
of things, how amazing life is, and all the millions
and trillions and I mean trillions of things that you
(36:25):
can accomplish, all the goals you want to reach, going
back to school, succeeding in anything, starting a business, starting
a relationship, buying a house, buying a car, volunteering, making
an impact, and then people dim that light, all those
(36:50):
dreams and goals and aspirations simply because of fear of
the unknown, because fear is just the unknown. If you're
scared of something, it's because you're just it's unknown. Because
once you know it and understand it, you don't fear it.
You can't continue to fear something that you already understand
what it is. When we were growing up, there was
many things we feared, and then we figured out what
(37:10):
that noise was and then we're like, oh, you hear
a noise in your house and you it wakes you up.
And first thing you fear, I think it is fear.
And then you go over and you look and you
figure that a candle rolled off because the cat knocked
it over and knocked it. And then what do you do.
Do you still walk around and go, oh my god,
oh my god. No, you just go, okay, that noise
was the candle that fell off because the cat knocked
it down, and then you go back to bed peacefully.
(37:31):
There's no difference between that and the fears that continue
to control your life today, once you understand truly what
they are, and not just say oh you understand, no,
you truly understand that the cat knocked the candle off
the table, there's no more fear. So I put this
to you. I challenge you, if there's still a fear
in your life, is because you don't understand it still
(37:53):
you don't trust me. It's not me talking. It's called
science logic. It's just it is what it is. If
you're afraid to do something, if you're afraid to try something,
eat to eat something, and you're and you look and
you go, I just can't. That's ignorance because really, if
you think about it, there's no reason and just saying well,
(38:15):
I don't. There's no reason because it's it's illogical. You
try it, it tastes good, you eat it, it doesn't,
you spit it out. And that is equal to everything
in your life, every goal or every challenge in your life.
You don't look at something when somebody says try something,
you go no, you try it. I mean unless it's
(38:37):
in danger, like I'm asking you to jump off of
this Sear's tower, and no even that, but you know
you try it, you ask questions. You know, I want
to parachute, Well that's scared. Well what's involved? Until I
do it or don't do it? What's involved? First of all,
how much does it cost? What's the way? You know?
Is it that that? You know? There are people who
(38:58):
do it every day? So for some people it's that meaningful.
For you, it may not be. So it's not a
fear thing. You're just like not that interested. I'm now
I know somebody now who is actually a trainer in
Nashville through Melissa's work. He's that's what he does. He's
a trainer on weekends in Nashville, and he trains. He
jumps out of planes dozens of time of day and
(39:20):
you know I could. I'm not knowing him. I'm like,
oh wow, that's cool, and you know what, I may
do it one day. Currently, I just don't really have
the interest because, like I said, when you have the interest,
you find the money, you find the time, you make
it happen. But for me to to meet to just
automatically if somebody asked me to use the word because
I'm afraid, don't don't know, don't don't because are you?
(39:41):
It's like, you know, what do you know about it?
What you see in movies? Well, what I see in
movies is people jump out of planes constantly, Nothing happens.
Are you afraid of the challenge? The brain believes what
it hears most often, So if it comes out of
you head is fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, and this doubt,
(40:02):
doubt and shame. And you're flooding your your thoughts with
this stuff and it sinks in and before you know it,
it goes down into your blood, into your bones. The
brain believes what it hears most often. What are you
saying out loud? What are you thinking? This is why
(40:24):
affirmations matter, not because they're magic. They're not. They're just
reading a sentence. But because they rewire your mind if
you truly believe in them. That's where I draw the line.
That's the Jimmy Gonzales line. I believe in all that
stuff one hundred percent. I've proven that it's true. Vision boards.
I've proven it. Vision boards, I've proven it. It works.
(40:46):
Doesn't matter what what you do, but you actually have
to believe it. They remind you daily that you are
stronger than the lies that you hear from yourself. Mindset
is not just mental, it's practical. The actions you take
every day either build your strength or chip away at it. So,
(41:09):
my friends, if you want to be unstoppable, build unstoppable habits.
That's why I used to do a hypnosis with my clients.
Just help them remove shitty habits and replace them with
good ones. Wake up with intention, not just reaction. Move
your body daily. Walk not just from here to there,
(41:38):
brisk walk. You want to build your heart up the pace.
Set small goals by the end of the day. Set
small goals. I'm gonna bake a kick by the end
of the day and actually do it. I'm gonna put
up a fence, I'm gonna change the oil in the car,
I need to go to the supermarket and buy eggs
(41:58):
and do it. I know you're like, what, yes, start
with baby goes first. Because a lot of people just
spend their life procrastinating. I know a lot of I
know a lot of people. It's like they tell me
they're gonna do something six months. I'm like, so, like, yeah,
I haven't done it a year. Yeah you know. Now
(42:18):
Now it goes from that to excuses. Well you know
I can't because you know, blah blah blah. Unstoppable. Unstoppable.
People aren't born with discipline. Remember it's no You create
it through consistency and life. Every time you face resistance,
you've got a choice. See it as a wall that
(42:41):
blocks you or a weight that strengthens you. Start reprogramming
or resetting yourself your reaction when something hard shows up
in your life. Don't immediately say no, can't do it,
won't do it, This is unfair. What you say is
(43:03):
usually what I do is I don't say anything. I
just get quiet and I acknowledge it, and I find
myself studying it, pondering at the good, the bad, and
the ugly. This is called training. Life training. You're gonna
be doing this until you're dead. Doesn't just stop one day,
(43:26):
because it is. It's shaping your mind, your patience, your determination.
The most resistance you face, the stronger you become. Just
like lifting weights, you don't grow without the burn. If
you go to the gym and you walk out and
you haven't like totally sweated, you didn't do anything. If
the next day you don't feel incredibly sore, you haven't
done anything. So going to the gym doesn't mean I
(43:48):
lost weight going to the gym. You know, usually I
tell people just get to the gym. That's a start.
It is a start. But working out and sweating is
what you're trying to do. You're trying to burn. You
can't earn if you get on the treadmill and you
walk for seven seconds, or you just walk down the
street and come back and like, all right, walked, that's
you know, you didn't do anything, that's just you know what,
(44:09):
just sit on the couch. You didn't do anything. That
shift turns frustration into fuel. Being unstoppable isn't about instant results.
There's no such thing as an instant result. It's about endurance.
We live in a culture of quick wins, fast money
over net success, instant gratification, the magic pill which doesn't
fucking exist, but unstoppable. People play the long game. They
(44:34):
know that anything worth having takes time, effort, and sacrifice.
Remember when you were a kid learning to write your name,
you didn't master it the on one trike my daughter
for her name, she would write the word let us
long story. It took time. Same with reading, with sports,
(44:54):
With every skill you've ever built, why the hell would
this be any different. Starting a relationship with somebody it
takes time. A new job, it takes time. I think
it's funny when people go to a job and immediately
first day they're like, yeah, I don't know what that's
my favorite. Yeah, I don't know what I'm doing. I
hope not. That'd be kind of fucking weird. It's a
(45:16):
new job, it's a new relationship, it's a new experience,
it's new stories. It's a new journey for you to
automatically be like, yeah, you know, don't be one of
those people already hard on yourself. When you don't have
to be, Like I said, you become your own enemy.
Surround yourself with fuel, not things that drain you or
people that drain you. What is your environment right now?
(45:39):
You can't pour gasoline on your fire every day and
then wonder why it keeps going out. Unstoppable people pay
attention to who and what they surround themselves with. Do
the people around you fuel your fire or drain it?
Do they inspire you or do they take from you?
Do they just talk about them and not about you?
(46:02):
Do the voices you listen to inspire you or discourage you?
Do your daily habits energize you or exhaust you. Being
unstoppable is easier when your environment supports you. When you
have a good team, surround yourself with voices that speak life,
not doubt. That put yourself I ask of you. Put
(46:26):
yourself around people who lift, not limit, people that feed
your mind with knowledge, encouragement and truth and not just
negativity and noise and complaints and those fucking excuses. You
can't always control every environment, but you can't control what
you consume, who you let close, and how you respond
(46:50):
to them. I think it's funny when people will let
shit shitty people around them, and then six weeks later
they're complaining about them. You let them in, you told
them to me much, and now they're too close to you.
And now you want them gone. This is why I
pick my friends very carefully. I have so many acquaintances friends. No,
(47:15):
this is one of the most overlooked parts of being unstoppable.
People think unstoppable what means go, go, go until you collapse.
But that's not strength, that's just burnout. True strength. To me,
I've mentioned this in the past. To me, I love chess.
It's the game of chess. Some days you wake up
you're the pawn. Some days you're the rookie. Some days
you're the bishop, some days you're a knight, some days
(47:38):
you are a king or maybe a queen. How powerful
do you feel today? Or you just want to be
a pawn and just sail through for today it happens.
True strength knows when to rest and when to make
your moves, know when to just stop and when to recover.
(48:01):
This doesn't mean giving up. I meanry charging, planning your
moves like a game of chess. I know some of
you are like I don't know how to play chess.
It doesn't matter planning your moves. Unstoppable people are not machines.
They're humans who balance everything, every effort with recovery, just
(48:22):
like athletes. Don't train at max every single day. You can't.
You need rhythms of rest built into your life. So
give yourself permission to pause, but never permission, never permission,
never permission to quit. The most important piece is being unstoppable.
Isn't one big decision that you make once and they
(48:43):
expect it to be done within an hour. Now, it's
the small decisions you make over and over again, creating
those habits. Remember the habits I just talked about. Yes,
every day you wake up with a choice, will I
keep moving toward my vision or will I let today's
excuses when some days the choice will feel easy, other
(49:04):
days it will feel impossible. But unstoppable people don't rely
on feelings. They rely on commitment. That's the difference. Anyone
can keep going when it feels good, the unstoppable keep
going when it doesn't. My ex mother in law used
(49:27):
to say to me, I've never met anybody who has
to deal with so many obstacles, so many situations, so
many trials and tribulations, but for some reason, you just
have no issue with them and you just continue to go.
And I'm like, yes, because I feed off of them.
(49:47):
I don't know where I learned it. I would like
to say for my uncle, because he was a very
positive person in my life. But it's almost like time.
I value my time. I do every day. I value
my time. That's why I don't like wasting my time
doing nothing, because even if I'm doing something and I'm resting,
(50:09):
I like to contemplate my plans, my choices, my hopes.
And then if I don't want to, I'll just think
of what I did and then pat myself on the
back and think of the great I did, and then
hopefully I inspire others. Master your inner voice, build small
daily habits. See all of your obstacles as training, play
(50:32):
the long game, surround yourself with fuel, rest without quitting,
and choose again to try again every day. Do that,
and this unstoppable mindset that I keep talking about won't
just be an idea, will become who you are. Take
a deep breath right now, feel that truth, settlement, that
(50:56):
power that you are unstoppable. Let those words echo in
your mind, not just as a statement, not a momentary thing. Again,
when you hang up, when you when you're done with
the podcast, you call somebody and you just start motherfucking
the world and you don't know how bad I have it,
(51:17):
And oh my god, I love it.
Speaker 4 (51:18):
How was your day?
Speaker 2 (51:19):
Ah? My day sucks? And they point. I'm like, well,
you're alive and you got a job, and people stare
at me. Oh, it's not the job I want. Okay,
Well there's other jobs. I don't make enough money. Blah
blah blah blah blah. I love that shit. It's like,
all right, well there's other jobs that making more money.
But do you not believe in yourself that you can
get another job? Do you not value yourself? Have you
(51:42):
allowed other people to break you down so much that
you actually believe that you are not worthy of it?
Oh that's your fucking problem. Don't blame other people. I'm sorry.
Whatever kind of abuse you went through, the bottom line is,
if you're still going through it, you need to deal
with it. If it was in your past, you have
to learn from it and now put it behind you.
(52:09):
I have quite a few listeners that ask me about
meditation all the time. For some reason, they will not
listen to it, but they know I do it. They
know I've been doing it now for I think it's
twenty two years. Some feel it is somehow ridiculously a
sin to meditate, that it's against God, which I think
(52:29):
is hilarious because I was an ultimate for many years.
I've actually read the Bible, and like a lot of
people that quote the Bible, I've read the Bible. It
isn't against God or against your fears of dealing with
yourself and your thoughts. Understand that. I have now taught
probably over a thousand people, maybe a little bit less,
(52:53):
little bit more. I don't know. I really don't know
a lot personally and online to meditate. And I've never
had anybody write to me after a session, usually after
a few days, and say, yeah, that was horrible. I
felt like I was sinning, I was cheating God. I
was it. Actually, I've actually had people say it brought
(53:13):
me closer to God, it brought me closer to who
I am. It brought me closer to my imperfections. Because
you'd think the number one reason people can't meditate is
because they can't focus or they can't quiet their mind.
That's actually number one. It's not true, not at all.
The number one reason why people can't meditate is because
(53:36):
when you meditate, you get quiet, and you immediately your
mind start to race, and you start thinking of this,
this is not and if you get really good at it,
I mean deep. Now you start pondering your life and
you're like, shit, you know, I'm already so and so,
and you know, how come I I'm not married yet?
And how come I don't have kids yet? And you
know I'm still renting and why don't I have a
house yet? And oh my god, and blah blah blah. Right,
(54:00):
So you don't like yourself, because that's what you're saying,
because if you liked yourself, if you loved yourself, you
respected yourself, it would be like, wow, I am such
such age. I'm fifty five and I still to own
my own home. Okay, Why chances are it's called poor
fucking decisions. You've made poor decisions, okay. So what you
(54:29):
ready have the ability and will will continue to make
decisions until you die. So start making better decisions. Start
surround yourself with mentors, with inspirational people that will guide you. Now,
people that will tell you what to do okay now,
(54:51):
people to tell you what not to do that, People
that will inspire you based on your beliefs. When I
give advice to peop people, if I don't really know
enough about you. I won't because whatever I say is
how I would handle it, It does not mean it's
how you would handle it. That's why I'll even say
(55:11):
to people, well I would do X, Y and Z,
but you may feel more comfortable based on your upbringing
and your beliefs to do A, B and C. So
the bottom line is, let's just chalk it up to
know your value, love yourself more, forgive yourself, and start
working towards your goals. That's pretty much as far as
(55:31):
I go. But as for meditation and religion, it's funny
some religious people particularly, I have to bring this in
because it's some Christians view certain types of meditation as
it's against God because they associate it with the Eastern
religions that differ from their own beliefs. So if it's
not your own belief it's wrong, which is funny because
those religions were their way before yours. So it promotes
(55:55):
a self focus. You're not supposed to focus on yourself.
Yes you are, because see God, me, everything that I know,
everybody who I am, everything I believe in. My God
gave it to me, and I'm so grateful for it.
It's not against God. People do believe that it promotes
(56:23):
a self focused spirituality rather than God focused devotion, or
fear it opens the mind to negative spiritual influences or
the devil. Other interpretations hold that the practice itself is
inherently problematic, but rather the context, philosophy, or intent behind
(56:47):
it can make conflicting with religious beliefs. Which it's funny
because I actually know of many priests, monks especially, but
priests priest, yes, priest that meditate. They start with a
prayer and then they meditate. They relax, they ponder life,
they ponder their thoughts, and they give thanks through grace.
(57:12):
I spent my entire life as a God respecting man,
not a God fearing man. Now, I don't fear God.
My God is filled with love, he always has been.
I have spent my entire life believing this. So my
people say to me, I'm a God fearing man. I'm like, okay,
(57:33):
well it works for you, it's your coping skills, all right.
But I mean, I have seen all my God has done,
and every day I count to my continuous blessings and
believe that it is my own free will that makes
stupid choices. And causes my mistakes. I like to believe
that when I do that, my angels sit by and go.
(57:56):
They sit by the sidelines watching me do stupid shit. Here,
I'm gonna share a quick meditation. You could follow along,
you don't have to if you're driving, or just listen,
just to give an idea of what it is. I
found enough people ask me like, could you share something?
So I'm like, fine, So you could either listen to it,
(58:17):
you could turn me off and just say worship the devil,
or you could come back to it later. That would
be awesome when you can, uh, just the way to
make peace with yourself, with your mind, with your body,
and your God. So in this point, what I do
is I ask you to close your eyes, take deep
(58:39):
breath in, and let it go again. Inhale, deeply, filling
your lungs with life. Exhale slowly, allow the weight of
the day to just simmer down, to drift away for now,
right here, right now now. There is no rush now,
(59:01):
mind you. In this meditation, I go slower, and I
have music playing in the background, but I'll just give
you a gist. Just listen to what I'm saying. There's
no pressure there's only this moment in your life. This
moment is yours, This breath is yours, This power is yours,
given to you by the grace of God. Bring awareness
to your body. Notice the ground beneath you, steady, firm
(59:27):
and strong. Notice the strengthen your spine that holds you tall.
Notice the beat of your heart, steady and unbroken. The
heart beat, that heart beat in your chest. It's proof,
proof that life moves inside of you, proof that you
(59:47):
are here, alive, present, and very capable. Now I ask
of you to travel back into your mind, into your thoughts.
This is where people get weird because they don't want
to bring back thoughts. But see yourself as a child,
small but determined, wanting to learn, wanting to try, wanting
to stumble, fall and get right back up again, struggling
(01:00:10):
to tie your shoes, to tell time, to write your name,
to understand the whole world around you. Do you remember
when you were young and you would just look out
and just try to make sense of the world. While
you were watching cartoons, everything made sense, and then you'd
hear your parents talk about bills and mortgage, utilities, bills, bills, bills.
(01:00:36):
At some point I was like, who's Bill? Why does
he piss off my father so much? Back then it
felt so hard. Back then, it felt impossible, but you
kept trying, and eventually you did it. Feel that memory
in your chest, memory, that unstoppable spirit that was with
(01:00:56):
you even then, and it is with you now as
you take an other deep breath in and out. Now,
I ask you if you picture yourself on a path
ahead of you, the life that you want, the goals,
the dreams, the victories that matter to you, they're there,
They're out there, you have them. The dreams, the victories
(01:01:18):
that matter to you. Between you and your vision are obstacles, challenges,
test sacrifices. Every time you take a step, the obstacles move.
Every time you breathe with courage, the path clears just
enough for you to keep walking a little bit more.
(01:01:41):
You don't need to see the entire road. You don't
need to see the end of the road. You can't.
You just need to focus on the next step, step
by step, breath by breath, forward, always forward. This is
what it means to be unstoppable. And this is usually
where I say something like repeat after me and let
(01:02:03):
it echo in your mind as you inhale and exhale.
I cannot be broken, I cannot be held back. I
will not stop. I am unstoppable. You say this not
as hope, not as a wish, but as the deepest
(01:02:27):
truth of who you are. Unstoppable. Feel that firing night
inside of you. Feel as it builds in your chest,
spreads through your arms, through your legs, through your whole being,
every cell in your body, humming with belief, with strength,
with determination, the fire that can only be put out
by you, not by failure, not by fear, not by doubt,
(01:02:53):
by you, because it's yours. This unstoppable emotion was borne
in you, It will live in you for as long
as you walk this earth. See the challenges you face today,
the doubts, the fears. See them all laid out in
front of you, as you have many many times in
(01:03:14):
your life, and as you continue to step right through them, calm, steady, unshaking,
because obstacles are not walls, they are stepping stones, and
every step makes you stronger. Say it again, I am unstoppable.
Take a deep breath in exhale, slowly, feel this power
in your chest as it grows, this belief that, yes,
(01:03:36):
you are unstoppable, feel the calm in your mind, the
truth and your spirit. You don't need permission from anyone.
You don't need perfect, perfect conditions. You don't need to
have it all figured out today. You only need to
keep going one step, one breath, one choice at a time,
(01:04:00):
because you are unstoppable. That is pretty much on meditation,
and I have you just okay, open your eyes and
blah blah blah blah. Not bad. Right, Here's the truth.
Few people understand. The harder the path, the stronger the person.
Every challenge you face is a chance to grow, to
(01:04:22):
sharpen your resolve, to strengthen your character. The obstacles in
front of you are not there to stop you. They
never were. They are proof that you are alive, that
you are trying, that you are pushing towards something meaningful
in your life. When life tests you, lean into it,
don't run from it. Don't flinch, don't shrink, stand taller,
(01:04:47):
because being unstoppable is not about avoiding difficulty. It's about
meeting it head on and moving forward anyway. Unstoppable people
don't rely on occasional inspiration. They build daily momentum. They
set goals, they break them into actionable, realistic steps. They
track their progress, they celebrate their wins, and adjust when necessary.
(01:05:11):
They recognize that consistency, not perfection, is the engine of
unstoppable power. You can do this, you know you can
do this. You got this every day, even in a
single productive choice, build your momentum. Over time, those small
steps compound into unstoppable force. Understand that if I say
(01:05:37):
this over and over, and if I write these podcasts
because as I say, I'm a true believer, I am
a true believer in you, simply because I've been inspired
by so many of you. I have seen so many
of you rise from the ashes that I gave up
on you. I was like, I feel horrible for them.
I can't believe so much has happened to them. And
(01:05:59):
all of a sudden and I'm like, I can't believe
they're doing so well, and it inspires me so much.
We are almost at the end of this episode, but
not at the end of your journey. The real work
starts right now when this podcast is done. Every day
(01:06:21):
you have the opportunity to live your life with unstoppable force.
Every choice, every effort, every step forward is proof of
the power that lives inside of you. Every obstacle is
just another chance to show the world and yourself that
you will not be stopped, That you are stronger than
you realize, you are braver than you feel, that you
(01:06:42):
are more capable than you know. And above all, what
are you? Take a deep breath, hold it for a moment,
let it out. Carry this truth with you and the
rest of your day, your week, your life because you
have what it takes. You have the fire, you have
the power, you have the ill because you are unstoppable.
(01:07:04):
At this point of my podcast, I ended with some
type of exercise for you to do, hopefully with someone else,
But today I'm gonna do something a little different and
just ask a question. It's two questions, but it's the
last one one question. All I want you to do
is not just listen to it and go okay, the
(01:07:26):
answer is no, want you to really take some time,
maybe have some lunch after this, go for a drive
and ponder it, and hopefully the answer will make you
a better person, a more fulfilled person, a more unstoppable person. Ready, Okay,
(01:07:48):
if you woke up tomorrow and there was no fear
of failure, no doubt, no hesitation, what's the very first
bold thing you do with your life. Now wait, wait,
(01:08:09):
not the safe answer, not the reasonable answer. What is
the real one? The kind of thing that makes your
chest tight tightan just thinking about it. Maybe it's something
from seventh grade. Maybe it's something that you know you've
been told that you want to do it. I'm sorry
you've believed you want to do it and you've been
told you can't. What is it? What's that look like
(01:08:38):
for you? I hope I made you think. I hope
I made you question your existence and to appreciate every
single tomorrow, every today, and be grateful for all the
experiences of the past that have made you who you are.
Right now, keep this in mind and choose action over excuse,
(01:09:01):
purpose over comfort, and the work that matters over the
many distractions that don't. My name is Jimmy Gonzalez, this

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Dearly beloved, we'll gather here today to get through this
thing called life.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
You are listening to the Reset Yourself? What need you podcast?
With your whole Hello, thank you, thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you. I appreciate it. Now, before I begin,
(01:17):
let me just state to fact so that I don't
get too many emails that I know I will get
and receive and messages and texts. It's like what's wrong
with your eye? Basically, So for those of you that
don't know, I have a new love in my life. Holly,
my mustang. She I love her, wonderful horse. But yesterday
(01:42):
I usually take her out for a walk, like literally,
she's my big dog. And it was starting to get dark,
which I've never done before. Learned your lesson, and I,
you know, let her out of her area and we
go and we eat fresh grass in different locations because
she's a lot of grass. And by the time I
(02:03):
got her back to her pen, it was now dark.
So she's moving around, I'm moving around and it is dark,
so she goes down to eat something off the ground,
and I see her and I didn't realize where she
was at that moment because just it happens, and I
(02:26):
went down and her head went up. And have any
of you ever been either hopefully not, but shot in
the face. No, no, no, no, that's not a good
one because it's to me, a bullet is more direct
hit in the face with a huge piece of metal.
(02:52):
That's the best way I can describe it. The fact
that I'm currently not dead or in the hospital basically
shows that, well, I've I have a very hard head,
and I have a habit of hitting my head often.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
It's it's fascinating. But she clocked me.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
So hard right here, like like her whole the side
of her skull. That to me, it was like Thor's hammer.
And I even though it was dark, I do remember
that once she hit me, all I saw was bright white.
(03:36):
And I got up because my first thing is like,
first off, I don't want to fall anywhere and be
trampled by her, and I want to be able to
focus and you know, walk away. So she kind of
like stood back as if she knew something happened, and
I was able to stagger slowly, and I still had
(03:59):
to do stuff with the chickens, but to put them
away for the evening. But I uh, I thought I
broke my skull. Not trying to be funny. I thought
I broke, Like I don't, I don't know. I don't
know how I didn't pass out. I think I was
(04:20):
a hair away from passing out.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
It was.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
It was such an impact, and I usually am one,
I just go in. I'm like, I'm fine. I don't know.
I actually went in. I was looking for a bag
of frozen peas, knowing me all we had was at
a mama.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
So broke that up.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Put that on my eye, and then I recorded my
my meditation last night because yesterday had an incredibly long day.
I had to drive up to Louisville, and so I
just sat there and thank God that this, this is
all that happened. Basically, it's just a little tiny cut
(04:58):
right there on the edge, just not that bad. But
the atamame, which I loved very much. If you've never
had any shame on you, it saved my face because,
as Melissa says, I would have woken up today looking
like Rocky because like I said, it was this entire thing.
(05:18):
My skull at that time hurt. I felt it. It was,
it was, it was very.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Painful, and I feel fine fine.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Melissa will always say that she doesn't think I'm fine,
but still I feel fine except for this, which actually
this doesn't even hurt either. So I am truly, truly, truly,
truly blessed that.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
This is all I got.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
So anyway, so I just wanted to answer that.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
So here goes.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
In this weekly podcast, I focus on sparking your inner
confidence and igniting your belief and yourself. I am your host,
and I'm always very very thrilled to share my thoughts
and research with you as we go along on this journey.
Today's topic I say this for.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
All of them.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
I love it. You can nurture a mindset that empowers
you to reach your fullest potential. I write and record,
actually just finished writing it. This episode to challenge your
thinking and to encourage you. You to reflect and inspire actionable,
realistic steps towards your personal growth. Actionable whether you're facing
(06:26):
a career transition, seeking to overcome challenges, or simply striving
for greater fulfillment in life. This podcast has now been
the go to resource for thousands of people.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Across this planet. For me, I was just.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Happy that it was on this app that I use.
I was able to watch the States and I was like,
oh my god, I'm in New York. Oh my god,
I'm in California.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
It's around the planet.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I am on a podcast in India where they play
my stuff, which I think is awesome, and I'm truly
humbled by that. Ireland and the United Arab I'm rightes
big listeners. So my inspiration to do this every week
is to show you how to focus on what you
(07:11):
can accomplish so that you can get the things you
want when you want them. But you gotta do the work. Sorry,
if you're gonna sit there, it's not gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
If you're gonna.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Loyally listen to this podcast every week. Now you can
watch it and just listen to it and go okay,
and then turn it off and nothing changes in your life.
Shame on you. Shame on you, because honestly, that's not
why I do this. The fact that I take this
much time so that you can listen to it and
(07:45):
go okay and then it's just over. Please don't do that.
Don't waste my time. I want you to listen to it.
I want you to become the person that you really are,
such a much better person. And if I can believe
in you as much as I do, and I do
that by taking this time, it means the world to me.
(08:08):
So let us begin with the topic. By the way,
this is episode one hundred and ninety two. There's been
one hundred and ninety two of these, so it is
basically about stepping into your unstoppable mindset.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Think about that.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Today. I want to step into the fact, the concept
that you can change everything right now.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
It's not yeah, no, actually it is. It is because
I've done it.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I do it daily, even days, and I feel like
shit and I go backwards because we are human. We
are human. But how many times have you had a
shitty day and somebody makes one comment or my favorite,
you hear a song, It just brings you back to something. Nostalgia.
I love nostalgia, and it brings you back to a
(09:05):
moment and before you know it, you're singing like a fool.
You're driving, you don't care if people are at the
light looking at you. Life is good. The fact that
you just had the worst morning.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Who cares?
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Everything is temporary? You know, it's not temporary death, but
everything in life is temporary. I don't care what happens.
I was just having a conversation with somebody about the
tragedy of, like God forbid, getting into a horrible car accident.
And people don't say that it's called life. Things happen
or like, uh oh, something bad happened. It's like I'm
(09:38):
not six years old anymore. Bad things happen. The question
is what do you do from this moment on not
harp on the bad crap? And to do that, to
have that focus is having an unstoppable mindset. When you
(10:00):
hear the word unstoppable, what comes to mind? Maybe you
picture a train thundering down the tracks. Maybe it's the power.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Of the ocean waves that just never stop.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Maybe it's that fire in your chest that refuses to
go out no matter how many storms you have walked through.
You know that fire, that fire of inspiration when you
get this idea and all of a sudden, it just
starts piecing together like a puzzle. Being unstoppable isn't about
never facing obstacles. I would never I've god, I can
(10:34):
never live a life without obstacles. I can never live
a life without mistakes, without screw ups, fuck ups.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
I can never do that. It happens, it happens.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
I don't focus on the fact that, oh my god,
oh I can't believe I could die.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
What a horrible thing it happens.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
And it's funny because I knew it too, because I
never take her out at night. Well it wasn't night,
it became night, but I had her out for a while,
knowing that even if you stumble, even if you fall,
even if you get knocked the hell down, just get up.
(11:12):
Don't run to Facebook and start woe is me?
Speaker 5 (11:14):
Everybody my sins and these are my mistakes, and oh
my god, and so so and so has screwed me
over and this person lied to me, and that person
cheated on me, and this person left me, and this
I feel betrayed, and I'm.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Horrible, smallest violin. No one cares because it's happening to everybody.
It's not that nobody cares about you, It's just that
your problems people like to hear when you have dealt
with them, when you have learned from them, and.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
You have moved on from them. Understand that every.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Every single time that you do something, you have to
have that. You should have the attitude of unstoppable, knowing
that being unstoppable isn't a form of perfection.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Unstoppable is just persistence.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
It's that train, even that train roaring down the tracks
has issues with the machinery. Not enough coal, too much coal. Uh,
you know, just it's it's the I think the wheels
aren't greased up enough.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
But it's persistent. It's grit, it's resilience.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
It's choosing again and again to rise when everything else says,
and everybody else in your life says, stay down. Think
about your own life. Think about all the things you've
already survived. This is my focus. I'm directing this show,
this episode to every single one of you listening as
(12:43):
I'm talking, Please think about this. Think about all the
things that you've already survived, already overcome in your life,
including the people that have screwed.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
You over and hurt you.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
And here's here's here's a little sight tip for some
of you. If you're pondering somebody who hurts you or
cheated or lied to you, and you bring their memory
back and you feel angry or dissatisfied or hurt or
what that's horrible. You don't do that because that just
means that they're still controlling you.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
It was just a lesson.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Think about all the moments that you weren't sure that
you'd get through, but you did that. Right there, my friends,
is proof proof that you are stronger that you've given
you've given yourself the credit for. And if you want
even more proof, look back when you were young. This actually,
(13:45):
right here is what started my whole concept. I was daydreaming,
and I was meditating, and I was thinking about my life,
and for some reason, I just my mind jumped to
kindergarten Saint Charles' School, Bridgework, Connecticut, with my teacher, Missus Roberts. No, no, no, no, No.
(14:05):
Kindergartener was Missus Simmons, the first lady that I ever
saw growing up in the hood that actually had long
blonde hair.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
I just I was like, she's she's a goddess. It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
I have never seen that. It was just it's amazing,
And she was the kindest person in the world. I
hope she's she's doing well. But remember the challenges that
felt massive back then for me learning how to tie
my shoes the way we were taught was we were
given this book of pages that like the main the
(14:39):
shoelaces like were on the back page, and everything flipped
over and it was the story. Excuse me, but the
laces were there, and that's where you practiced. The problem
is I mastered quickly. I was probably one of the
first in the class to master how to do it
right there now, doing it on my shoe. That was
(15:00):
a problem. I guess I just see life differently or
at the same thing. Learning to tell time on the
clock with hands that seemed to never make sense because
my thing was I did learn pretty quick, but then
I would walk around and see other clocks around the
(15:21):
school and other places that.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Had no numbers.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
So I was already at as a child, traumatized and
terrified that what happens if one day I need to
tell time and there's no numbers?
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Then I went to Catholic school with the nuns, and
across the top of the chalkboards we had a strip
of letters that were incursive for me to Z obviously,
well it was like capital a lower case A, you know,
And I remember I remember just staring at them, going
(15:57):
what the hell is that? Looking at like Z and
why and just like, how would I ever do that?
And why would I do that? Because in my life
you don't need that? And actually it's funny that we
talk about that, because my daughter today, I must have
connected her somehow. She posted today a whole thing about
cursive writing, and you know it, it was good. It
(16:18):
helps you, and it's funny that I just sent her
back a story about how in Kentucky this school year,
around the entire state, it's mandatory for kids to learn
cursive and I know half here are like so very
I think it's not. I just think it's something else
that you should learn instead of this. Okay, Because funny
(16:41):
thing is, I recently had to do a lot of
writing for a class. My handwriting looked like I was
having a mild stroke or a seizure. It was so bad,
and I kept like, I've never you know, you don't
realize everything I do is I type, I type on
my key, I type up my laptop, I type on
(17:01):
my phone, type type, type, type type. And I've been
typing since I was part of the original group that
started the PCs, you know, the Commodore sixty four and
all that stuff. So I was writing code when that happened,
I would write physically, writes less and less and less
and less. So now asking me to write now bad bad,
(17:25):
But that I feel is a wonderful thing. Plus learning
different languages. My first language was Spanish. I grew up
in a Spanish household, and then I had to learn English.
And for those of you that know me close, know
how much I don't care for the English language. There's
(17:45):
just a lot of issues I have with the language,
with words, with phrases, with sentences. But it is what
it is. What am I going to do just go
through life complaining about it. It is what it is.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
You learn it.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
But back then, those weren't small things. When you were small,
they felt huge, They felt impossible. You tried, and you failed,
and then you tried again. Some days you wanted to
give up, you wanted to run away and cry into
a closet, but you didn't. You stuck with it, and
then eventually.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
You won.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Now, now when you look back at those struggles, funny
thing is you almost laugh. Tying shoes, writing your name
second nature? Now correct? Reading a clock with numbers or without?
How about Roman numerals? Actually, for some reason, oddly I
(18:41):
picked up a Roman numerals instantly, which you think it
would be difficult, but no, I picked up on it,
thank God, very easily. To this day, I could look
at it at a tattoo that people have with all
the letters and read it and I'm like, hm. But
at one time those were all mountains for me and
probably for you that we had to climb. But what
does that tell you you about yourself, your trials and
(19:03):
tribulations of life. It tells you that every new challenge ahead,
no matter how intimidating it feels right now, because trust me,
until your last day on this earth, you're going to
have challenges, and hopefully most of them shrink in the
(19:24):
rear view mirror of your life. With enough persistence, with
enough practice, with enough sacrifice, the impossible will become effortless.
And that's the heartsbeat of being unstoppable. You've done it before,
you'll do it again. The proof is already in your history.
(19:45):
My co producer Henry, So, when the new challenges show up, okay,
the exams, the risks, the goals, the fears, you don't
have to wonder if you can do it, if you
can deal with it, you already know the truth you've
already dealt with it. You've already been in this rodeo
(20:07):
time and time again. At some point it stops affecting
you because you've created the knowledge to understand what your
fear is, what your challenges are, what your goals are.
You've already been the kind of person who just figures
it out. You don't go it is what it is.
It is. You don't, especially if it's it's demeaning, it's
(20:28):
breaking you down, it's it's creating fear. It's not a
healthy thing. Fear is not a healthy thing. And and
I've shared with people in the past, for my for
those of you that believe in a higher power, a
higher being, God, goddess, universe, fear comes from negativity. Come
(20:50):
to my opinion, it just comes from the dark side. Okay,
now I'm not talking about fear of something that you
should fear. I'm talking about actually the only the only
fear that we're born with is the fear of falling.
Every other fear we're taught. So if you have a
fear of something, the way you deal with is you
ask yourself where to come from, and don't just say
oh or no, no, you do the research. You ask,
(21:11):
you find out, you make phone calls, and then once
you do, you start to piece your puzzle together. And
when you're done, you now have a finished puzzle in
front of you without fear, because that is not something
you want in your life. So when new challenges show up,
whether there exam risk, goals, and fears, you don't have
to wonder if you can do it. You learn the truth.
(21:35):
Fear is ignorance. Fear is not knowing something, not understanding
something you've already. Like I said, you will continue to
be that person if you deal with your problems, that
will be unstoppable, relentless, and unshaken. Now this isn't just
like motivation. This is this is memory, This is proof.
(21:58):
I'm asking you to go into your mind instead of
me just inspiring you going he was inspirational. No, I'm
asking you tap into your mind when we're done, or
pause me right now and sit there and just ponder
your life and think of your life. The truth is
you've already been unstoppable. This isn't something brand new. It's
(22:18):
already built into your DNA, already in your story, already
in your spirit. But today today I want to call
it out. I want to hold you responsible for these thoughts.
I want to amplify it, not run from it. Why
run from what a memory we're going to turn up.
(22:40):
I want to turn up the volume on that unstoppable
belief until it becomes the loudest voice in your life
that you will say, I believe in myself, not I
believe in myself. Because here's the reality. Once we're done
with this podcast and you go on your day, life
is gonna test you. It will push, it will challenge,
(23:05):
It will whisper lies in your ear telling you that
you're not enough, that you are not ready, that you
are a coward, that you are not capable. Fear fear,
fear fear. But here's the answer that you carry. Remember this,
I am unstoppable. This is something you should be saying,
(23:27):
staying in your head all the time wherever you are.
Whisper it, Say it aloud, let it thunder in your mind,
in your soul, feel it in your bones. Don't just
say it, feel it. I am unstoppable. Feel those words
in your chest, let them echo throughout your soul. Because
(23:50):
this isn't just a phrase. It's a decision, a decision
to walk forward no matter what a decision to not
let fear, doubt, or delay when or procrastination, a decision
to believe that you were made for more. You were
and you're not stopping until you reach it. Let's think
(24:17):
feel this unstoppable power together. The word unstoppable. Dig into it.
I don't want it to just become another motivational poster
that you write somewhere, I'm unstoppable, another buzzword that will
(24:40):
lose power by six o'clock tonight. Unstoppable isn't about speed.
It's not about being the fastest, the smartest, or the
strongest person in the room. Unstoppable is a direction. It's
a choice. It's a decision. It's about the decision to
move forward, no matter how long it takes, no matter
how how many detours, no matter how many obstacles fall
(25:04):
in your path. Think of a river. The river doesn't
just stop when a rock drops in its way. It bends,
it shifts, it finds a.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
New route it.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
But what does it always do? It keeps moving. That's unstoppable.
Being unstoppable doesn't mean that you'll never feel fear. You will.
It doesn't mean you'll never face setbacks. You will. It
doesn't mean life will lay down and make it easy
(25:37):
for you. I hope now would that would suck. That's
a lazy man's way of thinking. I just want everything
to be easy, lazy. Unstoppable means you keep going anyway,
the difference between stopping and pausing. There's an important distinction here. Okay,
(26:00):
some people confuse unstoppable with never resting. That's not true.
Even the strongest need to breathe. Even the river slows
in quiet pools, even the train pauses at stations. Unstoppable
doesn't mean burnout. Okay. It doesn't mean overdo it and
(26:20):
lose your mind. It doesn't mean recklessly pushing until you
physically collapse. It means simply refusing to give up on
the bigger vision. It means that rest, recovery, and even
setbacks are just a part of the process. That you
need to rest, but they don't define the outcome. When
(26:43):
you're unstoppable, you may pause, but you just don't quit.
Let's be real. Society sells us this dream that things
should be smooth if we're meant for it. That's a
crock of shit. If you're on the right path, everything
just magically falls into place. That's a myth. Think back
(27:08):
again to when you were a kid. Was tying your
shoes smooth, was learning to ride a bike, graceful, was
learning to speak, to write, to read effortless. Not a
chance you fell, You got frustrated, you wanted to quit.
Quick story. I actually learned how to ride a bike
(27:29):
late in my in my well, not late. I learned
what I was about thirteen twelve or thirteen, simply because
I just never had a bike, never had access to
a bicycle. And then this kid down the street, Henry Torres,
little kid had a bicycle and he was like half
my height and he had a bicycle. And that kid
would fly up and down the street like crazy. And
one day he's like, you want you want to ride
(27:50):
my bicycle? And I would just do the whole No,
I'm good, and I'm good. I didn't know how to
ride a bicycle. So finally he's like, oh my god,
just ride it. And he asked me, do you know
how to ride a bicycle? And I'm like no, he said,
oh my god. So I got on the bicycle. And
my yard on my address was four oh seven Shelton Street, Bridgeport, Connecticut,
and it was like our yard, our fence, and then
(28:12):
there was another lot which actually was just our property,
but it had a long fence. And I remember to
this day getting on the bicycle starting to pedal, leaning
sideways towards the fence, face and shoulder in the fence
and just sliding for about ten feet and just scraping
my face up, my arm up, everything, probably hitting my
(28:34):
head again. But thank god, he was a good person
and he came out to me his first It wasn't laughing.
He was just like, oh my god, are you okay?
And I was like sure, So I got off the bicycle.
I waited a little while he rode back and forth
(28:54):
like a little monster, and then he was like, do
you want to try again? And I was like yeah,
this time I made sure to like kick with my
and I did everything and would you believe this? The
following summer I was actually sponsored by a bicycle shop
called Spoken Wheel in Bridgeport and I was racing Redline
bicycles up in the Trumble track and a few different
(29:16):
tracks with the whole suit and everything. One year. So
I want you to pause for a second and look
at your own history. Not the perfect vision a version,
the Instagram perfect highlights, the raw real moments. Think about
the last time you thought I can't do this. Maybe
(29:38):
it was a class you thought you'd fail. Maybe it
was a job that drained you, a relationship that drained you.
Maybe it was a season of life for everything and
everybody was stacked against you. You've probably felt that you
were drowning. But here's my question to you. Are you
(29:59):
still listening? Like right now, are you are you listening
to me? Because if you're listening to me, that actually
means I guess you're still here. That means you made
it through somehow, some way, you figured it out. And
if you can figure it out, then why not. Now,
what's the difference. That's the thing about being unstoppable. It's
(30:20):
not a future trait you need to earn. It's something
you've already proven time and time and time again, my friends,
you have the receipts to prove it. That's the thing
about being unstoppable. It's not it's it's it is a choice.
But you've already mastered it so many times. Here's another perspective, shift.
(30:43):
Obstacles aren't walls meant to stop you. They are weights
meant to strengthen you. When you lift the weight. Your muscles.
Resist it burns, it feels heavy. But the very resistance
is what makes you stronger when you In the same way,
(31:03):
every challenge in your path shapes you, strengthens you, inspires you,
It prepares you, It builds you. So instead of asking
why is this so hard? Why is everybody out to
get me? Blah blah blah, what strength is this building you?
(31:23):
Right now? Why are you going through the things You're
going through the situations, the experiences, instead of putting the
energy towards Oh my god, I'm going through X, Y
and Z and my life sucks and I can't do
it and I'm drawing. Oh my god, I'm sorry. You
need to You need to man up or woman up, okay,
and you got to change your energy instead of instead
(31:46):
of what's bringing you down? How are you going to
strengthen yourself? How are you going to live a better
life and unstoppable life? Sacrifice and work? Yes, there will
be sacrifice. I know a lot of you rolled your eyes.
I just want to sit on my couch, roll through
my roku and just let life happen. Well, anyway, here's
(32:13):
the truth. You you you, and I think you have
probably sacrificed before. You've put in the work before. Every
major step in your life, every skill, every victory of accomplishment,
came with some cost, and you have already paid for it.
So again, why stop now? Why doubt yourself? Now? If
(32:40):
you could pay the price back, then you can pay
the price again, because what's on the other side of
sacrifice is always worth it. Imagine, imagine planting a seed,
as I just finished doing for the past few months.
At first, weak, small, fragile, but that seed holds unstoppable
(33:07):
power because once it takes root, it will push through soil,
through stone, through anything in its way to reach the light.
That's why you are here. You may feel small at moments,
(33:27):
but the truth is you are built with the same
unstoppable force inside of you. You have that seed inside
of you, and every time you choose to grow, you
prove it. Let's for a moment, let's strip this down
a little bit more. Unstoppable doesn't mean flawless, it doesn't
mean fearless, it doesn't mean easy. It means I will
(33:51):
try again, I will sacrifice what needs to be sacrificed.
I will bend but I will not break. I will
rest but I will not quit. I will rise no
matter how many times I fall. That is unstoppable. Right now,
(34:17):
take a breath, Feel that truth settle in your chest.
I will rise no matter how many times I fall.
Say it again, I am unstoppable. Say it again, Let
(34:37):
it echo, let it sink in, because this is not
just something you're hoping for, it's something you already are.
We've already talked about when unstoppable really means I've broke
it down, and I broke it down again. Now we've
looked back at your history, you've heard some of my history,
at the challenges that you've already conquered, at the sacrifices
(34:59):
you already made, and all of that is proof proof
that you are stronger than you think. But now comes
the important part. How do you build this unstoppable mindset
every single day? Ah? Because being unstoppable isn't just something
(35:19):
you talk about, it's something you actually train for, you
work for. Just like muscles don't just grow overnight, neither
does unshakable belief. It takes practice, it takes focus, it
takes consistent effort. But the good news is even small
(35:42):
choices at up the first step is the ultimate evil
and what is that. It's you, it's your mindset. It's
a stupid, weak, cowardly fearful words you use. I can't,
(36:04):
I won't. This is too hard, I'm not ready. What
if I fail? You want to talk about evil? If
you think about, but think about on the big scheme
of things, how amazing life is, and all the millions
and trillions and I mean trillions of things that you
(36:25):
can accomplish, all the goals you want to reach, going
back to school, succeeding in anything, starting a business, starting
a relationship, buying a house, buying a car, volunteering, making
an impact, and then people dim that light, all those
(36:50):
dreams and goals and aspirations simply because of fear of
the unknown, because fear is just the unknown. If you're
scared of something, it's because you're just it's unknown. Because
once you know it and understand it, you don't fear it.
You can't continue to fear something that you already understand
what it is. When we were growing up, there was
many things we feared, and then we figured out what
(37:10):
that noise was and then we're like, oh, you hear
a noise in your house and you it wakes you up.
And first thing you fear, I think it is fear.
And then you go over and you look and you
figure that a candle rolled off because the cat knocked
it over and knocked it. And then what do you do.
Do you still walk around and go, oh my god,
oh my god. No, you just go, okay, that noise
was the candle that fell off because the cat knocked
it down, and then you go back to bed peacefully.
(37:31):
There's no difference between that and the fears that continue
to control your life today, once you understand truly what
they are, and not just say oh you understand, no,
you truly understand that the cat knocked the candle off
the table, there's no more fear. So I put this
to you. I challenge you, if there's still a fear
in your life, is because you don't understand it still
(37:53):
you don't trust me. It's not me talking. It's called
science logic. It's just it is what it is. If
you're afraid to do something, if you're afraid to try something,
eat to eat something, and you're and you look and
you go, I just can't. That's ignorance because really, if
you think about it, there's no reason and just saying well,
(38:15):
I don't. There's no reason because it's it's illogical. You
try it, it tastes good, you eat it, it doesn't,
you spit it out. And that is equal to everything
in your life, every goal or every challenge in your life.
You don't look at something when somebody says try something,
you go no, you try it. I mean unless it's
(38:37):
in danger, like I'm asking you to jump off of
this Sear's tower, and no even that, but you know
you try it, you ask questions. You know, I want
to parachute, Well that's scared. Well what's involved? Until I
do it or don't do it? What's involved? First of all,
how much does it cost? What's the way? You know?
Is it that that? You know? There are people who
(38:58):
do it every day? So for some people it's that meaningful.
For you, it may not be. So it's not a
fear thing. You're just like not that interested. I'm now
I know somebody now who is actually a trainer in
Nashville through Melissa's work. He's that's what he does. He's
a trainer on weekends in Nashville, and he trains. He
jumps out of planes dozens of time of day and
(39:20):
you know I could. I'm not knowing him. I'm like,
oh wow, that's cool, and you know what, I may
do it one day. Currently, I just don't really have
the interest because, like I said, when you have the interest,
you find the money, you find the time, you make
it happen. But for me to to meet to just
automatically if somebody asked me to use the word because
I'm afraid, don't don't know, don't don't because are you?
(39:41):
It's like, you know, what do you know about it?
What you see in movies? Well, what I see in
movies is people jump out of planes constantly, Nothing happens.
Are you afraid of the challenge? The brain believes what
it hears most often, So if it comes out of
you head is fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, and this doubt,
(40:02):
doubt and shame. And you're flooding your your thoughts with
this stuff and it sinks in and before you know it,
it goes down into your blood, into your bones. The
brain believes what it hears most often. What are you
saying out loud? What are you thinking? This is why
(40:24):
affirmations matter, not because they're magic. They're not. They're just
reading a sentence. But because they rewire your mind if
you truly believe in them. That's where I draw the line.
That's the Jimmy Gonzales line. I believe in all that
stuff one hundred percent. I've proven that it's true. Vision boards.
I've proven it. Vision boards, I've proven it. It works.
(40:46):
Doesn't matter what what you do, but you actually have
to believe it. They remind you daily that you are
stronger than the lies that you hear from yourself. Mindset
is not just mental, it's practical. The actions you take
every day either build your strength or chip away at it. So,
(41:09):
my friends, if you want to be unstoppable, build unstoppable habits.
That's why I used to do a hypnosis with my clients.
Just help them remove shitty habits and replace them with
good ones. Wake up with intention, not just reaction. Move
your body daily. Walk not just from here to there,
(41:38):
brisk walk. You want to build your heart up the pace.
Set small goals by the end of the day. Set
small goals. I'm gonna bake a kick by the end
of the day and actually do it. I'm gonna put
up a fence, I'm gonna change the oil in the car,
I need to go to the supermarket and buy eggs
(41:58):
and do it. I know you're like, what, yes, start
with baby goes first. Because a lot of people just
spend their life procrastinating. I know a lot of I
know a lot of people. It's like they tell me
they're gonna do something six months. I'm like, so, like, yeah,
I haven't done it a year. Yeah you know. Now
(42:18):
Now it goes from that to excuses. Well you know
I can't because you know, blah blah blah. Unstoppable. Unstoppable.
People aren't born with discipline. Remember it's no You create
it through consistency and life. Every time you face resistance,
you've got a choice. See it as a wall that
(42:41):
blocks you or a weight that strengthens you. Start reprogramming
or resetting yourself your reaction when something hard shows up
in your life. Don't immediately say no, can't do it,
won't do it, This is unfair. What you say is
(43:03):
usually what I do is I don't say anything. I
just get quiet and I acknowledge it, and I find
myself studying it, pondering at the good, the bad, and
the ugly. This is called training. Life training. You're gonna
be doing this until you're dead. Doesn't just stop one day,
(43:26):
because it is. It's shaping your mind, your patience, your determination.
The most resistance you face, the stronger you become. Just
like lifting weights, you don't grow without the burn. If
you go to the gym and you walk out and
you haven't like totally sweated, you didn't do anything. If
the next day you don't feel incredibly sore, you haven't
done anything. So going to the gym doesn't mean I
(43:48):
lost weight going to the gym. You know, usually I
tell people just get to the gym. That's a start.
It is a start. But working out and sweating is
what you're trying to do. You're trying to burn. You
can't earn if you get on the treadmill and you
walk for seven seconds, or you just walk down the
street and come back and like, all right, walked, that's
you know, you didn't do anything, that's just you know what,
(44:09):
just sit on the couch. You didn't do anything. That
shift turns frustration into fuel. Being unstoppable isn't about instant results.
There's no such thing as an instant result. It's about endurance.
We live in a culture of quick wins, fast money
over net success, instant gratification, the magic pill which doesn't
fucking exist, but unstoppable. People play the long game. They
(44:34):
know that anything worth having takes time, effort, and sacrifice.
Remember when you were a kid learning to write your name,
you didn't master it the on one trike my daughter
for her name, she would write the word let us
long story. It took time. Same with reading, with sports,
(44:54):
With every skill you've ever built, why the hell would
this be any different. Starting a relationship with somebody it
takes time. A new job, it takes time. I think
it's funny when people go to a job and immediately
first day they're like, yeah, I don't know what that's
my favorite. Yeah, I don't know what I'm doing. I
hope not. That'd be kind of fucking weird. It's a
(45:16):
new job, it's a new relationship, it's a new experience,
it's new stories. It's a new journey for you to
automatically be like, yeah, you know, don't be one of
those people already hard on yourself. When you don't have
to be, Like I said, you become your own enemy.
Surround yourself with fuel, not things that drain you or
people that drain you. What is your environment right now?
(45:39):
You can't pour gasoline on your fire every day and
then wonder why it keeps going out. Unstoppable people pay
attention to who and what they surround themselves with. Do
the people around you fuel your fire or drain it?
Do they inspire you or do they take from you?
Do they just talk about them and not about you?
(46:02):
Do the voices you listen to inspire you or discourage you?
Do your daily habits energize you or exhaust you. Being
unstoppable is easier when your environment supports you. When you
have a good team, surround yourself with voices that speak life,
not doubt. That put yourself I ask of you. Put
(46:26):
yourself around people who lift, not limit, people that feed
your mind with knowledge, encouragement and truth and not just
negativity and noise and complaints and those fucking excuses. You
can't always control every environment, but you can't control what
you consume, who you let close, and how you respond
(46:50):
to them. I think it's funny when people will let
shit shitty people around them, and then six weeks later
they're complaining about them. You let them in, you told
them to me much, and now they're too close to you.
And now you want them gone. This is why I
pick my friends very carefully. I have so many acquaintances friends. No,
(47:15):
this is one of the most overlooked parts of being unstoppable.
People think unstoppable what means go, go, go until you collapse.
But that's not strength, that's just burnout. True strength. To me,
I've mentioned this in the past. To me, I love chess.
It's the game of chess. Some days you wake up
you're the pawn. Some days you're the rookie. Some days
you're the bishop, some days you're a knight, some days
(47:38):
you are a king or maybe a queen. How powerful
do you feel today? Or you just want to be
a pawn and just sail through for today it happens.
True strength knows when to rest and when to make
your moves, know when to just stop and when to recover.
(48:01):
This doesn't mean giving up. I meanry charging, planning your
moves like a game of chess. I know some of
you are like I don't know how to play chess.
It doesn't matter planning your moves. Unstoppable people are not machines.
They're humans who balance everything, every effort with recovery, just
(48:22):
like athletes. Don't train at max every single day. You can't.
You need rhythms of rest built into your life. So
give yourself permission to pause, but never permission, never permission,
never permission to quit. The most important piece is being unstoppable.
Isn't one big decision that you make once and they
(48:43):
expect it to be done within an hour. Now, it's
the small decisions you make over and over again, creating
those habits. Remember the habits I just talked about. Yes,
every day you wake up with a choice, will I
keep moving toward my vision or will I let today's
excuses when some days the choice will feel easy, other
(49:04):
days it will feel impossible. But unstoppable people don't rely
on feelings. They rely on commitment. That's the difference. Anyone
can keep going when it feels good, the unstoppable keep
going when it doesn't. My ex mother in law used
(49:27):
to say to me, I've never met anybody who has
to deal with so many obstacles, so many situations, so
many trials and tribulations, but for some reason, you just
have no issue with them and you just continue to go.
And I'm like, yes, because I feed off of them.
(49:47):
I don't know where I learned it. I would like
to say for my uncle, because he was a very
positive person in my life. But it's almost like time.
I value my time. I do every day. I value
my time. That's why I don't like wasting my time
doing nothing, because even if I'm doing something and I'm resting,
(50:09):
I like to contemplate my plans, my choices, my hopes.
And then if I don't want to, I'll just think
of what I did and then pat myself on the
back and think of the great I did, and then
hopefully I inspire others. Master your inner voice, build small
daily habits. See all of your obstacles as training, play
(50:32):
the long game, surround yourself with fuel, rest without quitting,
and choose again to try again every day. Do that,
and this unstoppable mindset that I keep talking about won't
just be an idea, will become who you are. Take
a deep breath right now, feel that truth, settlement, that
(50:56):
power that you are unstoppable. Let those words echo in
your mind, not just as a statement, not a momentary thing. Again,
when you hang up, when you when you're done with
the podcast, you call somebody and you just start motherfucking
the world and you don't know how bad I have it,
(51:17):
And oh my god, I love it.
Speaker 4 (51:18):
How was your day?
Speaker 2 (51:19):
Ah? My day sucks? And they point. I'm like, well,
you're alive and you got a job, and people stare
at me. Oh, it's not the job I want. Okay,
Well there's other jobs. I don't make enough money. Blah
blah blah blah blah. I love that shit. It's like,
all right, well there's other jobs that making more money.
But do you not believe in yourself that you can
get another job? Do you not value yourself? Have you
(51:42):
allowed other people to break you down so much that
you actually believe that you are not worthy of it?
Oh that's your fucking problem. Don't blame other people. I'm sorry.
Whatever kind of abuse you went through, the bottom line is,
if you're still going through it, you need to deal
with it. If it was in your past, you have
to learn from it and now put it behind you.
(52:09):
I have quite a few listeners that ask me about
meditation all the time. For some reason, they will not
listen to it, but they know I do it. They
know I've been doing it now for I think it's
twenty two years. Some feel it is somehow ridiculously a
sin to meditate, that it's against God, which I think
(52:29):
is hilarious because I was an ultimate for many years.
I've actually read the Bible, and like a lot of
people that quote the Bible, I've read the Bible. It
isn't against God or against your fears of dealing with
yourself and your thoughts. Understand that. I have now taught
probably over a thousand people, maybe a little bit less,
(52:53):
little bit more. I don't know. I really don't know
a lot personally and online to meditate. And I've never
had anybody write to me after a session, usually after
a few days, and say, yeah, that was horrible. I
felt like I was sinning, I was cheating God. I
was it. Actually, I've actually had people say it brought
(53:13):
me closer to God, it brought me closer to who
I am. It brought me closer to my imperfections. Because
you'd think the number one reason people can't meditate is
because they can't focus or they can't quiet their mind.
That's actually number one. It's not true, not at all.
The number one reason why people can't meditate is because
(53:36):
when you meditate, you get quiet, and you immediately your
mind start to race, and you start thinking of this,
this is not and if you get really good at it,
I mean deep. Now you start pondering your life and
you're like, shit, you know, I'm already so and so,
and you know, how come I I'm not married yet?
And how come I don't have kids yet? And you
know I'm still renting and why don't I have a
house yet? And oh my god, and blah blah blah. Right,
(54:00):
So you don't like yourself, because that's what you're saying,
because if you liked yourself, if you loved yourself, you
respected yourself, it would be like, wow, I am such
such age. I'm fifty five and I still to own
my own home. Okay, Why chances are it's called poor
fucking decisions. You've made poor decisions, okay. So what you
(54:29):
ready have the ability and will will continue to make
decisions until you die. So start making better decisions. Start
surround yourself with mentors, with inspirational people that will guide you. Now,
people that will tell you what to do okay now,
(54:51):
people to tell you what not to do that, People
that will inspire you based on your beliefs. When I
give advice to peop people, if I don't really know
enough about you. I won't because whatever I say is
how I would handle it, It does not mean it's
how you would handle it. That's why I'll even say
(55:11):
to people, well I would do X, Y and Z,
but you may feel more comfortable based on your upbringing
and your beliefs to do A, B and C. So
the bottom line is, let's just chalk it up to
know your value, love yourself more, forgive yourself, and start
working towards your goals. That's pretty much as far as
(55:31):
I go. But as for meditation and religion, it's funny
some religious people particularly, I have to bring this in
because it's some Christians view certain types of meditation as
it's against God because they associate it with the Eastern
religions that differ from their own beliefs. So if it's
not your own belief it's wrong, which is funny because
those religions were their way before yours. So it promotes
(55:55):
a self focus. You're not supposed to focus on yourself.
Yes you are, because see God, me, everything that I know,
everybody who I am, everything I believe in. My God
gave it to me, and I'm so grateful for it.
It's not against God. People do believe that it promotes
(56:23):
a self focused spirituality rather than God focused devotion, or
fear it opens the mind to negative spiritual influences or
the devil. Other interpretations hold that the practice itself is
inherently problematic, but rather the context, philosophy, or intent behind
(56:47):
it can make conflicting with religious beliefs. Which it's funny
because I actually know of many priests, monks especially, but
priests priest, yes, priest that meditate. They start with a
prayer and then they meditate. They relax, they ponder life,
they ponder their thoughts, and they give thanks through grace.
(57:12):
I spent my entire life as a God respecting man,
not a God fearing man. Now, I don't fear God.
My God is filled with love, he always has been.
I have spent my entire life believing this. So my
people say to me, I'm a God fearing man. I'm like, okay,
(57:33):
well it works for you, it's your coping skills, all right.
But I mean, I have seen all my God has done,
and every day I count to my continuous blessings and
believe that it is my own free will that makes
stupid choices. And causes my mistakes. I like to believe
that when I do that, my angels sit by and go.
(57:56):
They sit by the sidelines watching me do stupid shit. Here,
I'm gonna share a quick meditation. You could follow along,
you don't have to if you're driving, or just listen,
just to give an idea of what it is. I
found enough people ask me like, could you share something?
So I'm like, fine, So you could either listen to it,
(58:17):
you could turn me off and just say worship the devil,
or you could come back to it later. That would
be awesome when you can, uh, just the way to
make peace with yourself, with your mind, with your body,
and your God. So in this point, what I do
is I ask you to close your eyes, take deep
(58:39):
breath in, and let it go again. Inhale, deeply, filling
your lungs with life. Exhale slowly, allow the weight of
the day to just simmer down, to drift away for now,
right here, right now now. There is no rush now,
(59:01):
mind you. In this meditation, I go slower, and I
have music playing in the background, but I'll just give
you a gist. Just listen to what I'm saying. There's
no pressure there's only this moment in your life. This
moment is yours, This breath is yours, This power is yours,
given to you by the grace of God. Bring awareness
to your body. Notice the ground beneath you, steady, firm
(59:27):
and strong. Notice the strengthen your spine that holds you tall.
Notice the beat of your heart, steady and unbroken. The
heart beat, that heart beat in your chest. It's proof,
proof that life moves inside of you, proof that you
(59:47):
are here, alive, present, and very capable. Now I ask
of you to travel back into your mind, into your thoughts.
This is where people get weird because they don't want
to bring back thoughts. But see yourself as a child,
small but determined, wanting to learn, wanting to try, wanting
to stumble, fall and get right back up again, struggling
(01:00:10):
to tie your shoes, to tell time, to write your name,
to understand the whole world around you. Do you remember
when you were young and you would just look out
and just try to make sense of the world. While
you were watching cartoons, everything made sense, and then you'd
hear your parents talk about bills and mortgage, utilities, bills, bills, bills.
(01:00:36):
At some point I was like, who's Bill? Why does
he piss off my father so much? Back then it
felt so hard. Back then, it felt impossible, but you
kept trying, and eventually you did it. Feel that memory
in your chest, memory, that unstoppable spirit that was with
(01:00:56):
you even then, and it is with you now as
you take an other deep breath in and out. Now,
I ask you if you picture yourself on a path
ahead of you, the life that you want, the goals,
the dreams, the victories that matter to you, they're there,
They're out there, you have them. The dreams, the victories
(01:01:18):
that matter to you. Between you and your vision are obstacles, challenges,
test sacrifices. Every time you take a step, the obstacles move.
Every time you breathe with courage, the path clears just
enough for you to keep walking a little bit more.
(01:01:41):
You don't need to see the entire road. You don't
need to see the end of the road. You can't.
You just need to focus on the next step, step
by step, breath by breath, forward, always forward. This is
what it means to be unstoppable. And this is usually
where I say something like repeat after me and let
(01:02:03):
it echo in your mind as you inhale and exhale.
I cannot be broken, I cannot be held back. I
will not stop. I am unstoppable. You say this not
as hope, not as a wish, but as the deepest
(01:02:27):
truth of who you are. Unstoppable. Feel that firing night
inside of you. Feel as it builds in your chest,
spreads through your arms, through your legs, through your whole being,
every cell in your body, humming with belief, with strength,
with determination, the fire that can only be put out
by you, not by failure, not by fear, not by doubt,
(01:02:53):
by you, because it's yours. This unstoppable emotion was borne
in you, It will live in you for as long
as you walk this earth. See the challenges you face today,
the doubts, the fears. See them all laid out in
front of you, as you have many many times in
(01:03:14):
your life, and as you continue to step right through them, calm, steady, unshaking,
because obstacles are not walls, they are stepping stones, and
every step makes you stronger. Say it again, I am unstoppable.
Take a deep breath in exhale, slowly, feel this power
in your chest as it grows, this belief that, yes,
(01:03:36):
you are unstoppable, feel the calm in your mind, the
truth and your spirit. You don't need permission from anyone.
You don't need perfect, perfect conditions. You don't need to
have it all figured out today. You only need to
keep going one step, one breath, one choice at a time,
(01:04:00):
because you are unstoppable. That is pretty much on meditation,
and I have you just okay, open your eyes and
blah blah blah blah. Not bad. Right, Here's the truth.
Few people understand. The harder the path, the stronger the person.
Every challenge you face is a chance to grow, to
(01:04:22):
sharpen your resolve, to strengthen your character. The obstacles in
front of you are not there to stop you. They
never were. They are proof that you are alive, that
you are trying, that you are pushing towards something meaningful
in your life. When life tests you, lean into it,
don't run from it. Don't flinch, don't shrink, stand taller,
(01:04:47):
because being unstoppable is not about avoiding difficulty. It's about
meeting it head on and moving forward anyway. Unstoppable people
don't rely on occasional inspiration. They build daily momentum. They
set goals, they break them into actionable, realistic steps. They
track their progress, they celebrate their wins, and adjust when necessary.
(01:05:11):
They recognize that consistency, not perfection, is the engine of
unstoppable power. You can do this, you know you can
do this. You got this every day, even in a
single productive choice, build your momentum. Over time, those small
steps compound into unstoppable force. Understand that if I say
(01:05:37):
this over and over, and if I write these podcasts
because as I say, I'm a true believer, I am
a true believer in you, simply because I've been inspired
by so many of you. I have seen so many
of you rise from the ashes that I gave up
on you. I was like, I feel horrible for them.
I can't believe so much has happened to them. And
(01:05:59):
all of a sudden and I'm like, I can't believe
they're doing so well, and it inspires me so much.
We are almost at the end of this episode, but
not at the end of your journey. The real work
starts right now when this podcast is done. Every day
(01:06:21):
you have the opportunity to live your life with unstoppable force.
Every choice, every effort, every step forward is proof of
the power that lives inside of you. Every obstacle is
just another chance to show the world and yourself that
you will not be stopped, That you are stronger than
you realize, you are braver than you feel, that you
(01:06:42):
are more capable than you know. And above all, what
are you? Take a deep breath, hold it for a moment,
let it out. Carry this truth with you and the
rest of your day, your week, your life because you
have what it takes. You have the fire, you have
the power, you have the ill because you are unstoppable.
(01:07:04):
At this point of my podcast, I ended with some
type of exercise for you to do, hopefully with someone else,
But today I'm gonna do something a little different and
just ask a question. It's two questions, but it's the
last one one question. All I want you to do
is not just listen to it and go okay, the
(01:07:26):
answer is no, want you to really take some time,
maybe have some lunch after this, go for a drive
and ponder it, and hopefully the answer will make you
a better person, a more fulfilled person, a more unstoppable person. Ready, Okay,
(01:07:48):
if you woke up tomorrow and there was no fear
of failure, no doubt, no hesitation, what's the very first
bold thing you do with your life. Now wait, wait,
(01:08:09):
not the safe answer, not the reasonable answer. What is
the real one? The kind of thing that makes your
chest tight tightan just thinking about it. Maybe it's something
from seventh grade. Maybe it's something that you know you've
been told that you want to do it. I'm sorry
you've believed you want to do it and you've been
told you can't. What is it? What's that look like
(01:08:38):
for you? I hope I made you think. I hope
I made you question your existence and to appreciate every
single tomorrow, every today, and be grateful for all the
experiences of the past that have made you who you are.
Right now, keep this in mind and choose action over excuse,
(01:09:01):
purpose over comfort, and the work that matters over the
many distractions that don't. My name is Jimmy Gonzalez, this

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
