Speaker 1 (00:03):
Welcome to the show.
Today I'm going to be talkingabout how to get rich in a day
or less, so you're really goingto want to enjoy this episode
and especially, I am recordingthis from New Zealand.
I'm in a little coastal citynear the Ornata Beach, just
(00:24):
northwest of Wellington, so I'mon the west coast of the North
Island here in New Zealand justgot done with a beautiful
retreat for an entire week.
It was incredibly intense, very, very transformative.
Really loved it and I'm reallyexcited to take these changes
out to you, my listeners and thesubscribers to my YouTube and
(00:49):
my social media.
Which reminds me, make sureyou're subscribed, justin Wink
PhD, on YouTube, on Facebook, onLinkedIn, on TikTok, on
Instagram, and there you can getthe latest updates of where
I've been, what I'm up to and benotified when these podcasts
come out.
Remember to like and find thelike and subscribe to the
(01:13):
podcast and maybe let an oldfriend so that maybe you want
you don't want to be all aloneand be rich, maybe you want a
rich friend to enjoy with, soshare the show.
So what does it mean for you tobe rich?
Because if you want to besomething, isn't it good to know
what the fuck it is that it isyou want to be.
(01:35):
Have you ever considered that?
What does it really mean to bea rich individual?
Often we think it's a lot ofthese external things, like
driving a really fancy car likea Jaguar or a Model X, tesla, or
having a Louis Vuitton handbag.
Or maybe it's being rich inrelationships and having that
(01:56):
loved one that'll marry and bewith you till you die, and then
they just have to mourn yourloss until they eventually die,
or whatever it is, maybe acertain number in the bank
account.
Yeah, have you ever consideredthat when you were born, you
were just a wee little babe, alittle goo surrounding some
(02:20):
little baby bones and what notsthat just come out of your
mother?
What your death?
What do you think?
Those were your definitions ofleading a rich life.
Do you think that, even beforeyou had words, that there were
images or feelings of what it'slike to be driving in a super
(02:41):
fancy $100,000 vehicle with a Idon't know monoblonic shoes that
you're wearing and I almostdon't even know what's a Rolex
watch?
You think that's what you, as ababy, was really imagining when
it was?
I can't wait to be here andlive this rich life, or was it?
(03:04):
Maybe there's more thoughts of,well, I can't wait to do
something a little different inthis world, because if you think
about it all those things thatmaybe you've been brought up and
been wanting to have, thatyou're like I'll be rich when
I'll be rich, if I'll be richeventually that you didn't come
(03:27):
into this world with those.
At some point they were putupon you.
Your parents might have gonelike, oh, it's our little one,
they're going to grow up andthey're going to have the most
amazing spouse and they're goingto be with them forever till
one of them dies.
They're going to live in areally large house, they're
going to have two kids and a dogand half a cat and they're
(03:47):
going to be eating fawgraw andfilet mignon and they're going
to be traveling to the Hamptonsin the summers.
Or maybe it came from your peergroup, or you went to school, or
maybe it came just fromwatching TV.
And where do you think thatcame from?
That came from whoever thosepeople grew up with and whatever
(04:07):
they watched or listened to orhowever they were influenced.
And have you ever sort ofnoticed that as times go, things
change.
Where do you think this changecomes from the change comes from
that when we get here, we haveour own unique wants, our own
unique desires that when we sitwith them, when we fulfill them,
they're going to allow us tohave that rich feeling.
(04:31):
But how are you ever going toactually indulge that feeling
and actually feel like you'refucking rich if you are spending
all of your time striving to dothese things that make other
people feel rich or they thinkthat they'll feel rich and you
now think that'll make you feelrich.
(04:51):
And so if you're wanting tofeel rich and you might be going
like just rich in one day, butthe thought like I've talked to
my financial advisor and they'relike it's all about compounding
.
Over decades of time you keepputting in and little by little
compounding and then one dayyou're rich.
(05:12):
And again this has to go back towhat is your definition of rich
.
Because if your definition isjust the number of the bank
account, then possibly yet, assomeone who's reached many
milestones of numbers in thebank account and many milestones
of having relationship goalschecked and achieved and having
(05:33):
lots of worldly goods, lots oftravel, I've had those and I can
honestly say that I didn't feelrich.
Yet there's ways that I feelrich now that require none of
that, not to say that you can'thave any of those things or
enjoy those things.
(05:53):
It really is.
From which side are you comingfrom?
Because you can make all themoney in the world, and I really
do sometimes believe that aboutall some of these billionaires
and whatnot that do makesomething like.
There's like 100 people havelike 30 or 40% of the all of the
wealth in the entire world, andI truly do believe that many of
(06:17):
these individuals, they stillfeel more impoverished than some
people that can't even put foodon their plate.
So they, even with all of theirimmense worldly possessions,
all of the money, all of thepower, they are more poor than
most of the people in this world.
And the more you earn, the moreyou do, the more you attain
(06:41):
will also lead you to that samefeeling of poverty, unless you
truly do what I'm about tosuggest to you to truly become
rich and it doesn't have to takemore than a day, and it can
even take less than that Yetit's going to be a little bit
more disciplined and take alittle bit more effort if you're
going to do it, even in lessthan a day, and I recently
(07:04):
experienced this just today,because, coming off of the
retreat, it ended yesterday andI didn't even I didn't even know
I was gonna stay, so I had tofind a place to stay.
I was able to get a ride and Ishowed up to this place and it
is just absolutely Phenomenal.
So I'm recording this from theliving room.
There's a kitchen and upstairsis two bedrooms.
I'm the only one staying here.
(07:25):
I was just like.
This is in my budget.
Where I want to stay, it's nearthe beach.
I was walking the beach todaybut I was exhausted and I'm like
, and everybody's like, well,you should go, go to the island
across the way and go see theKiwis, which is a Flightless
bird.
The legend of the Kiwi is thatthe forest in New Zealand said
who would give up their wings Tocome be with me on the land of
(07:46):
the Kiwi said I will Haven'tseen a Kiwi yet.
We'll see.
So but people like you shoulddo this, do that to see
everything, whatever.
And I get here, I get unpacked,I get some dinner and I'm just
like I just I just want to sleepand I don't want to set an
alarm and I don't want to haveto do anything and I went to bed
(08:10):
around 10, 30, 11 pm and IDidn't get out of bed until 2 pm
.
So I think that was this waslike about 15 hours, 15 hours of
sleeping, and Then I just feltcompelled to do Qigong a couple
of times and Then eventually, atsome point, I was like now I
(08:33):
want to just go walk to thebeach.
But I had no plan for the day,I had nothing, I wanted to do
nothing, I had to do nothing.
I thought I should be doing,and I felt so incredibly rich,
so Incredibly abundant, and soyou might be going.
Okay, justin, this is great foryou, that you had this
delightful little day of beingcompletely fucking lazy and
worthless.
(08:53):
Ah, see, it's that voice, thatjudgment, is what keeps you from
being rich, because to me, oneof the things that allows me to
feel rich is that I can do whatI truly want, when I want,
without having to answer tosomeone or have to live out
somebody else's desires orfollow somebody else's dreams.
(09:15):
And so that judgment of tosleep for 15, 16 hours and to
call that lazy, whereas, the wayI see it is, I allowed my body
to give you fully rested, to dowhat it required after putting
in an intense week of effortworking on basic.
(09:37):
Basically, the retreat was aboutlearning to be fully here as a
human being, and it's notnecessarily an easy task and
required a lot of energy.
So then, to give that gift ofmy body and then to allow it to
kind of go oh, now we want to dothe qi-gong practice, and not
once but twice was so awesome.
And then to go to the beachthat I've never been to Dip my
(10:02):
toes in waters completely on theother side of the world from
where I'm from, and they just beable to sit, let the Sun soak
in, which is so much brighterhere, because in the southern
hemisphere it's spring, there'sflowers and walked, swan her
through a park, and I'm going tobe telling you how you can do
this like very, very concretely,because I'm very experienced at
(10:26):
this, so I'm not gonna suggestyou do it the way that I did it
today.
I want to make this reallysimple, very clear, very
concrete.
And saw Santa Claus in the park.
You know there's Grasses out,it's green, the trees, the sun
shining and flowers and thebirds are singing, so just wild
(10:47):
to experience that.
So you might be going.
Okay, how do you do that.
How can you know?
Maybe you're not convinced, andthat's okay.
You don't have to be convinced.
You can continue doing whatyou've been doing and getting
what you've been getting for aslong as you want.
No judgment for me.
I did it for many, many yearsand at some point I was like
(11:09):
enough of this shit and Iluckily had some guidance to
give me some options ofbasically how to have this
experience, and I've done thismany times over and over and
over in the past many years.
So this is my first time doingthis.
Oftentimes I have to be pushedand prodded.
This time it's just naturallyunfolded.
(11:29):
I'm like, ah, yes, reallyfeeling right.
So I'm gonna poke at you, I'mgonna dare you, challenge you to
see what it's like to do, whatI'm about to introduce to you
and see how you feel.
Now there's a good chance that,if you've been disconnected
(11:50):
from your two true dreams, fromwhat you really wanna be doing,
if you do what I'm gonna do, itcould break up some feelings,
some emotions that you might cry, you might get angry, you might
be frustrated, you might getsad and you might be like this
is not fucking fun.
So you have to make acommitment.
You gotta commit to what I'mabout to offer, cause it's one
(12:11):
of those things where if youonly go halfway, you're not
gonna get what's possible if yougo all the way.
At the retreat center it wasreally interesting there was a.
It was on a very large piece ofproperty, about 36 acres, had a
beautiful garden, near all ofthe places where people stayed
and where the retreat happened.
But then there was also a verylarge, large, old growth forest
(12:34):
and somebody had said like, oh,it's so wonderful to walk in the
forest, like the birds theyjust come up to you so close and
there's just a variety of treesand it's so peaceful.
And so I made an attempt, but Iwasn't truly committed, I was
just, I was just kind of curiousand I couldn't find a way into
the forest.
And the next day I was talkingto him, I wanted to go to the
(12:57):
forest but I couldn't.
I couldn't find a way in.
And somebody said like, oh well, there's, there's this marker
and if you just go towards thatmarker, eventually a path will,
there's a, there's a path thereand you can get your way into
the forest and then you can alsojust make your way there.
And then somebody else was likehey, I got some some.
They called them cause theyhave like different words for
everything here in New Zealand.
It's summer British, but thensummer uniquely Kiwi, which is
(13:20):
what the New Zealanders like tobe called, I believe.
So they called them gum boots.
I was like what?
And they're like gum boots,like what you know for wet, wet,
muddy, and so in the US that'smuck boots, I believe.
You know, if they're the rubbergaloshes boots, whatever.
(13:41):
So somebody let me borrow them.
And I make my way out and I'mlike I am going in the forest,
I'm committed, and I walktowards this marker and at first
I'm just like there's, there'snothing here.
I swear there's nothing.
But I keep going Cause I'm.
I'm like I'm doing this andI've been told there's a way,
there's a way.
And then eventually, at onepoint I start to see, cause,
(14:03):
it's just it's overgrown, causeit rains a lot and it's spring
and so everything's growingnonstop, growing, growing,
growing, growing, growing.
So even if there is a path, itcan start to disappear in the
foliage, but there was.
I start to see some mashed downbrush plant material and I'm
like, ah, there is, there is thepath, and I'm able to walk in
(14:28):
and make it into the forest andgo all the way and experience
just the quiet and the closenessof birds that really haven't
been bothered by people that arewilling to get within a few
feet cause they don't have anyfear, cause they have nothing to
fear.
And it was amazing.
And that's what I'm offering toyou with this, with this
challenge, is you got to go allthe way.
(14:50):
You can't, you can't half-assit.
You got to do at least the bareminimum.
You can always do more and ifyou do it, you're going to get
something amazing in return.
You're going to get a taste ofthat richness that you want to
feel and that not only that youwant to feel, but you want to
share with the rest of the worldthat when you were born, there
(15:12):
was something where you're likeah, this is, I'm here to feel
and do something.
And this is going to give youthe opportunity to start to get
a feel of that.
And it's possible you might notget to like what you want, but
you might start to get someclarity about what it isn't.
Sometimes you realize, if youknow at least what it isn't, you
can start letting that go, andthat creates a space for
(15:34):
whatever it is to start to showup.
Because if you've got acompletely full closet, there's
no room for a new shirt or newpair of pants.
You just, you just can't put itin there.
So this is about clearing outthat closet.
So what I'm going to challengeyou to do is or at least a
minimum of four hours, iscomplete, complete disconnection
(15:58):
, just to yourself.
So that means no phone, no TV,no interacting with other humans
.
Ideally, you stay in just asingle room, and it's four hours
.
You don't need to eat, you canhave some water, you can go to
the bathroom For this I wouldsay avoid journaling but four
(16:20):
hours of just you, with you, andnothing else.
Give yourself that gift.
And you might be saying how am Iever going to have the time?
And I'm going to ask you haveyou ever been sick?
Have you ever been ill whereyou literally couldn't do
anything but just fucking bethere?
So you've made the time before.
(16:41):
Just it was unconscious, it wasmade for you because your body
at some point said fucker, weneed some time just with
ourselves, without all of thisother bullshit that you signed
us up for.
So I'm shutting you down.
We're going to be sick.
You're going to be nasty,mucusy, whatever, but we're
going to have some time to ourfucking self for once.
So, yes, you can Say you'resick, because chances are if you
(17:05):
don't do something like this,you're going to end up sick
anyway.
So you might as well do it andat least feel healthy while you
get to have this experience.
And it's just for four hours.
You can do anything for fourhours.
So I'm not asking you to gojump in a lake or sit in a hot
sauna.
Just be in a room, completelydisconnected.
(17:28):
So no phone, no journal, nomusic, no TV or hours just you.
So you can be sitting, you canbe laying, you can be standing,
whatever.
The idea is to allow yourself tohave the richness, the
abundance, the privilege to doabsolutely nothing and just
(17:50):
allow yourself to just be withyou, because you are worth it.
You are amazing just on yourown.
You don't need to be doinganything to be worthwhile, and
you can't discover that untilyou spend some time just being.
And now a lot of shit can comeup, and that's okay.
You will have an opportunity tosee that that shit passes, and
(18:13):
so I'm going to challenge you tothat.
If you can do that and you wantmore.
I'm going to say contact me andask okay, how could I do a
little bit more with a littlebit more free range, so that you
could maybe end up at somepoint having a day like I did,
with lots of sleep, qigong,whatever.
That's very advanced.
So don't try to bullshityourself and think like I'm
(18:34):
ready for that.
You're not.
You're not.
Do this simple four hourpractice, like on a weekend or a
weeknight, whatever, maybe it'slike maybe usually go to bed at
10, maybe make it 8pm and thenuntil midnight, if you probably
won't fall asleep because a lotof shit is going to be coming up
(18:56):
, but if you can, if you do fallasleep, you fall asleep,
whatever.
So I'm really curious Let meknow Are you up for the
challenge?
Are you willing to be rich inless than a day?
Are you, or are you justwanting to keep living your life
of poverty as you struggle andstruggle and work hard until
(19:16):
hopefully, someday you'll bethere and somebody's like, ah,
now you're rich.
It's not happening.
Today is the day, whenever youcan make the time, because
you're worth it.
So follow me, contact me, letme know what you think.
Justinwink PhD in Instagram,facebook, linkedin, tiktok.
I really would like to know areyou up for the challenge of
(19:39):
seeing how rich you can feel inless than a day and if not,
what's the resistance?
Also, let me know.
You can also email me, podcastat justinwinkcom, and if you're
like, ah, justin, I'm ready formore, then again contact me and
let's figure out.
Maybe there is something.
But I'd like to hear thatyou've at least done the four
(20:00):
hours, because if you can'tcarve out four hours just for
yourself, how pathetic is that?
Let's get real, that's fuckingpathetic, right Like?
What kind of life are youliving?
Right Like, seriously, that'ssad, it's just sad, and it
doesn't have to be that way.
(20:20):
You can make this happen andyou can feel amazing, you can
feel phenomenal wherever you are, whenever you are.
However you are, there's a way,and if you're like I can't see
the way, let's talk.
Let's talk.
There's always a way, there'salways a way.
So I'm about to.
(20:41):
It's about just a little pastseven.
The sun sets here in an hour,which is really awesome to be
someplace where there's so muchsunshine, so much life, because
in California, where I came from, I know it gets dark, I think
around 4.30 pm and it's startingto get cold.
But again, those of you in theMidwest and the East Coast, I
know it's even more daunting.
(21:01):
That's a choice.
I have chosen to be here in NewZealand at this time and I am
going to enjoy the fuck out ofit.
So I'm going to go to a placethat's for dinner so I can see a
sunset.
If I don't know how the cloudsare, I'm going to enjoy that.
So I really do want you toenjoy your life, enjoy exploring
, enjoy being, enjoy doing whatyou truly want.
(21:23):
You should be living your ideallife.
And again, I'm still doing theideal life accelerators through
the end of the year.
Those are most Wednesdays atnoon Pacific time, which is 3 pm
Eastern.
And if I'm not doing an ideallife accelerator, which is where
I give about 10 minutes ofsharing some wisdom, and then I
(21:44):
do a little closed door behind avery elite group, this elite
group is able to go toJustinWinkcom ideal life X for
accelerator and they sign up andthey get one of the spots and
get a little one-on-one coachingwith me.
So if you would like that,please sign up.
We'd love to work with you alittle face-to-face, one-on-one
(22:07):
via the magic of Zoom.
And if I'm not doing that, thenI'm doing unlocking your ideal
life masterclass.
Also, all this free to the endof the year, because I know for
many people it's been a veryrough, challenging year and
there's a lot of uncertaintymoving ahead, and I want to
allow you to have some morecertainty that you can live an
ideal life.
So for that one, justinwinkcomslash ideal life.
(22:28):
So it's either unlocking yourideal life or accelerating your
ideal life.
I want you to be living yourideal life, not my ideal life,
not someone else's ideal life,not society's ideal life your
ideal life.
So now is the time.
So get on it one way or anotherand please remember to like,
subscribe to this podcast, rateit five stars it really does
(22:51):
help and tell a friend or tellsomeone you don't like.
Just tell somebody.
All right, with that, I'm goingto get out of here.

you don't want to be all aloneand be rich, maybe you want a

So what does it mean for you tobe rich?
Because if you want to besomething, isn't it good to know
what the fuck it is that it isyou want to be.
(01:35):
Have you ever considered that?
What does it really mean to bea rich individual?
Often we think it's a lot ofthese external things, like
driving a really fancy car likea Jaguar or a Model X, tesla, or
having a Louis Vuitton handbag.
Or maybe it's being rich inrelationships and having that
(01:56):
loved one that'll marry and bewith you till you die, and then
they just have to mourn yourloss until they eventually die,
or whatever it is, maybe acertain number in the bank
account.
Yeah, have you ever consideredthat when you were born, you
were just a wee little babe, alittle goo surrounding some
(02:20):
little baby bones and what notsthat just come out of your
mother?
What your death?
What do you think?
Those were your definitions ofleading a rich life.
Do you think that, even beforeyou had words, that there were
images or feelings of what it'slike to be driving in a super
(02:41):
fancy $100,000 vehicle with a Idon't know monoblonic shoes that
you're wearing and I almostdon't even know what's a Rolex
watch?
You think that's what you, as ababy, was really imagining when
it was?
I can't wait to be here andlive this rich life, or was it?
(03:04):
Maybe there's more thoughts of,well, I can't wait to do
something a little different inthis world, because if you think
about it all those things thatmaybe you've been brought up and
been wanting to have, thatyou're like I'll be rich when
I'll be rich, if I'll be richeventually that you didn't come
(03:27):
into this world with those.
At some point they were putupon you.
Your parents might have gonelike, oh, it's our little one,
they're going to grow up andthey're going to have the most
amazing spouse and they're goingto be with them forever till
one of them dies.
They're going to live in areally large house, they're
going to have two kids and a dogand half a cat and they're
(03:47):
going to be eating fawgraw andfilet mignon and they're going
to be traveling to the Hamptonsin the summers.
Or maybe it came from your peergroup, or you went to school, or
maybe it came just fromwatching TV.
And where do you think thatcame from?
That came from whoever thosepeople grew up with and whatever
(04:07):
they watched or listened to orhowever they were influenced.
And have you ever sort ofnoticed that as times go, things
change.
Where do you think this changecomes from the change comes from
that when we get here, we haveour own unique wants, our own
unique desires that when we sitwith them, when we fulfill them,

and actually feel like you'refucking rich if you are spending
all of your time striving to dothese things that make other
people feel rich or they thinkthat they'll feel rich and you
now think that'll make you feelrich.
(04:51):
And so if you're wanting tofeel rich and you might be going
like just rich in one day, butthe thought like I've talked to
my financial advisor and they'relike it's all about compounding
.
Over decades of time you keepputting in and little by little
compounding and then one dayyou're rich.
(05:12):
And again this has to go back towhat is your definition of rich
.
Because if your definition isjust the number of the bank
account, then possibly yet, assomeone who's reached many
milestones of numbers in thebank account and many milestones
of having relationship goalschecked and achieved and having
(05:33):
lots of worldly goods, lots oftravel, I've had those and I can
honestly say that I didn't feelrich.
Yet there's ways that I feelrich now that require none of
that, not to say that you can'thave any of those things or
enjoy those things.
(05:53):
It really is.
From which side are you comingfrom?
Because you can make all themoney in the world, and I really
do sometimes believe that aboutall some of these billionaires
and whatnot that do makesomething like.
There's like 100 people havelike 30 or 40% of the all of the
wealth in the entire world, andI truly do believe that many of
(06:17):
these individuals, they stillfeel more impoverished than some
people that can't even put foodon their plate.
So they, even with all of theirimmense worldly possessions,
all of the money, all of thepower, they are more poor than
most of the people in this world.
And the more you earn, the moreyou do, the more you attain
(06:41):
will also lead you to that samefeeling of poverty, unless you
truly do what I'm about tosuggest to you to truly become
rich and it doesn't have to takemore than a day, and it can
even take less than that Yetit's going to be a little bit
more disciplined and take alittle bit more effort if you're
going to do it, even in lessthan a day, and I recently
(07:04):
experienced this just today,because, coming off of the
retreat, it ended yesterday andI didn't even I didn't even know
I was gonna stay, so I had tofind a place to stay.
I was able to get a ride and Ishowed up to this place and it
is just absolutely Phenomenal.
So I'm recording this from theliving room.
There's a kitchen and upstairsis two bedrooms.
I'm the only one staying here.
(07:25):
I was just like.
This is in my budget.
Where I want to stay, it's nearthe beach.
I was walking the beach todaybut I was exhausted and I'm like
, and everybody's like, well,you should go, go to the island
across the way and go see theKiwis, which is a Flightless
bird.
The legend of the Kiwi is thatthe forest in New Zealand said
who would give up their wings Tocome be with me on the land of
(07:46):
the Kiwi said I will Haven'tseen a Kiwi yet.
We'll see.
So but people like you shoulddo this, do that to see
everything, whatever.
And I get here, I get unpacked,I get some dinner and I'm just
like I just I just want to sleepand I don't want to set an
alarm and I don't want to haveto do anything and I went to bed
(08:10):
around 10, 30, 11 pm and IDidn't get out of bed until 2 pm
.
So I think that was this waslike about 15 hours, 15 hours of
sleeping, and Then I just feltcompelled to do Qigong a couple
of times and Then eventually, atsome point, I was like now I
(08:33):
want to just go walk to thebeach.
But I had no plan for the day,I had nothing, I wanted to do
nothing, I had to do nothing.
I thought I should be doing,and I felt so incredibly rich,
so Incredibly abundant, and soyou might be going.
Okay, justin, this is great foryou, that you had this
delightful little day of beingcompletely fucking lazy and
worthless.
(08:53):
Ah, see, it's that voice, thatjudgment, is what keeps you from
being rich, because to me, oneof the things that allows me to
feel rich is that I can do whatI truly want, when I want,
without having to answer tosomeone or have to live out
somebody else's desires orfollow somebody else's dreams.
(09:15):
And so that judgment of tosleep for 15, 16 hours and to
call that lazy, whereas, the wayI see it is, I allowed my body
to give you fully rested, to dowhat it required after putting
in an intense week of effortworking on basic.
(09:37):
Basically, the retreat was aboutlearning to be fully here as a
human being, and it's notnecessarily an easy task and
required a lot of energy.
So then, to give that gift ofmy body and then to allow it to
kind of go oh, now we want to dothe qi-gong practice, and not
once but twice was so awesome.
And then to go to the beachthat I've never been to Dip my
(10:02):
toes in waters completely on theother side of the world from
where I'm from, and they just beable to sit, let the Sun soak
in, which is so much brighterhere, because in the southern
hemisphere it's spring, there'sflowers and walked, swan her
through a park, and I'm going tobe telling you how you can do
this like very, very concretely,because I'm very experienced at
(10:26):
this, so I'm not gonna suggestyou do it the way that I did it
today.
I want to make this reallysimple, very clear, very
concrete.
And saw Santa Claus in the park.
You know there's Grasses out,it's green, the trees, the sun
shining and flowers and thebirds are singing, so just wild
(10:47):
to experience that.
So you might be going.
Okay, how do you do that.
How can you know?
Maybe you're not convinced, andthat's okay.
You don't have to be convinced.
You can continue doing whatyou've been doing and getting
what you've been getting for aslong as you want.
No judgment for me.
I did it for many, many yearsand at some point I was like
(11:09):
enough of this shit and Iluckily had some guidance to
give me some options ofbasically how to have this
experience, and I've done thismany times over and over and
over in the past many years.
So this is my first time doingthis.
Oftentimes I have to be pushedand prodded.
This time it's just naturallyunfolded.
(11:29):
I'm like, ah, yes, reallyfeeling right.
So I'm gonna poke at you, I'mgonna dare you, challenge you to
see what it's like to do, whatI'm about to introduce to you
and see how you feel.
Now there's a good chance that,if you've been disconnected
(11:50):
from your two true dreams, fromwhat you really wanna be doing,
if you do what I'm gonna do, itcould break up some feelings,
some emotions that you might cry, you might get angry, you might
be frustrated, you might getsad and you might be like this
is not fucking fun.
So you have to make acommitment.
You gotta commit to what I'mabout to offer, cause it's one
(12:11):
of those things where if youonly go halfway, you're not
gonna get what's possible if yougo all the way.
At the retreat center it wasreally interesting there was a.
It was on a very large piece ofproperty, about 36 acres, had a
beautiful garden, near all ofthe places where people stayed
and where the retreat happened.
But then there was also a verylarge, large, old growth forest
(12:34):
and somebody had said like, oh,it's so wonderful to walk in the
forest, like the birds theyjust come up to you so close and
there's just a variety of treesand it's so peaceful.
And so I made an attempt, but Iwasn't truly committed, I was
just, I was just kind of curiousand I couldn't find a way into
the forest.
And the next day I was talkingto him, I wanted to go to the
(12:57):
forest but I couldn't.
I couldn't find a way in.
And somebody said like, oh well, there's, there's this marker
and if you just go towards thatmarker, eventually a path will,
there's a, there's a path thereand you can get your way into
the forest and then you can alsojust make your way there.
And then somebody else was likehey, I got some some.
They called them cause theyhave like different words for
everything here in New Zealand.
It's summer British, but thensummer uniquely Kiwi, which is
(13:20):
what the New Zealanders like tobe called, I believe.
So they called them gum boots.
I was like what?
And they're like gum boots,like what you know for wet, wet,
muddy, and so in the US that'smuck boots, I believe.
You know, if they're the rubbergaloshes boots, whatever.
(13:41):
So somebody let me borrow them.
And I make my way out and I'mlike I am going in the forest,
I'm committed, and I walktowards this marker and at first
I'm just like there's, there'snothing here.
I swear there's nothing.
But I keep going Cause I'm.
I'm like I'm doing this andI've been told there's a way,
there's a way.
And then eventually, at onepoint I start to see, cause,
(14:03):
it's just it's overgrown, causeit rains a lot and it's spring
and so everything's growingnonstop, growing, growing,
growing, growing, growing.
So even if there is a path, itcan start to disappear in the
foliage, but there was.
I start to see some mashed downbrush plant material and I'm
like, ah, there is, there is thepath, and I'm able to walk in
(14:28):
and make it into the forest andgo all the way and experience
just the quiet and the closenessof birds that really haven't
been bothered by people that arewilling to get within a few
feet cause they don't have anyfear, cause they have nothing to
fear.
And it was amazing.
And that's what I'm offering toyou with this, with this
challenge, is you got to go allthe way.
(14:50):
You can't, you can't half-assit.
You got to do at least the bareminimum.
You can always do more and ifyou do it, you're going to get
something amazing in return.
You're going to get a taste ofthat richness that you want to
feel and that not only that youwant to feel, but you want to
share with the rest of the worldthat when you were born, there
(15:12):
was something where you're likeah, this is, I'm here to feel
and do something.
And this is going to give youthe opportunity to start to get
a feel of that.
And it's possible you might notget to like what you want, but
you might start to get someclarity about what it isn't.
Sometimes you realize, if youknow at least what it isn't, you
can start letting that go, andthat creates a space for
(15:34):
whatever it is to start to showup.
Because if you've got acompletely full closet, there's
no room for a new shirt or newpair of pants.
You just, you just can't put itin there.
So this is about clearing outthat closet.
So what I'm going to challengeyou to do is or at least a
minimum of four hours, iscomplete, complete disconnection
(15:58):
, just to yourself.
So that means no phone, no TV,no interacting with other humans
.
Ideally, you stay in just asingle room, and it's four hours
.
You don't need to eat, you canhave some water, you can go to
the bathroom For this I wouldsay avoid journaling but four
(16:20):
hours of just you, with you, andnothing else.
Give yourself that gift.
And you might be saying how am Iever going to have the time?
And I'm going to ask you haveyou ever been sick?
Have you ever been ill whereyou literally couldn't do
anything but just fucking bethere?
So you've made the time before.
(16:41):
Just it was unconscious, it wasmade for you because your body
at some point said fucker, weneed some time just with
ourselves, without all of thisother bullshit that you signed
us up for.
So I'm shutting you down.
We're going to be sick.
You're going to be nasty,mucusy, whatever, but we're
going to have some time to ourfucking self for once.
So, yes, you can Say you'resick, because chances are if you
(17:05):
don't do something like this,you're going to end up sick
anyway.
So you might as well do it andat least feel healthy while you
get to have this experience.
And it's just for four hours.
You can do anything for fourhours.
So I'm not asking you to gojump in a lake or sit in a hot
sauna.
Just be in a room, completelydisconnected.
(17:28):
So no phone, no journal, nomusic, no TV or hours just you.
So you can be sitting, you canbe laying, you can be standing,
whatever.
The idea is to allow yourself tohave the richness, the
abundance, the privilege to doabsolutely nothing and just
(17:50):
allow yourself to just be withyou, because you are worth it.
You are amazing just on yourown.
You don't need to be doinganything to be worthwhile, and
you can't discover that untilyou spend some time just being.
And now a lot of shit can comeup, and that's okay.
You will have an opportunity tosee that that shit passes, and
(18:13):
so I'm going to challenge you tothat.
If you can do that and you wantmore.
I'm going to say contact me andask okay, how could I do a
little bit more with a littlebit more free range, so that you
could maybe end up at somepoint having a day like I did,
with lots of sleep, qigong,whatever.
That's very advanced.
So don't try to bullshityourself and think like I'm
(18:34):
ready for that.
You're not.
You're not.
Do this simple four hourpractice, like on a weekend or a
weeknight, whatever, maybe it'slike maybe usually go to bed at
10, maybe make it 8pm and thenuntil midnight, if you probably
won't fall asleep because a lotof shit is going to be coming up
(18:56):
, but if you can, if you do fallasleep, you fall asleep,
whatever.
So I'm really curious Let meknow Are you up for the
challenge?
Are you willing to be rich inless than a day?
Are you, or are you justwanting to keep living your life
of poverty as you struggle andstruggle and work hard until
(19:16):
hopefully, someday you'll bethere and somebody's like, ah,
now you're rich.
It's not happening.
Today is the day, whenever youcan make the time, because
you're worth it.
So follow me, contact me, letme know what you think.
Justinwink PhD in Instagram,facebook, linkedin, tiktok.
I really would like to know areyou up for the challenge of
(19:39):
seeing how rich you can feel inless than a day and if not,
what's the resistance?
Also, let me know.
You can also email me, podcastat justinwinkcom, and if you're
like, ah, justin, I'm ready formore, then again contact me and
let's figure out.
Maybe there is something.
But I'd like to hear thatyou've at least done the four
(20:00):
hours, because if you can'tcarve out four hours just for
yourself, how pathetic is that?
Let's get real, that's fuckingpathetic, right Like?
What kind of life are youliving?
Right Like, seriously, that'ssad, it's just sad, and it
doesn't have to be that way.
(20:20):
You can make this happen andyou can feel amazing, you can
feel phenomenal wherever you are, whenever you are.
However you are, there's a way,and if you're like I can't see
the way, let's talk.
Let's talk.
There's always a way, there'salways a way.
So I'm about to.
(20:41):
It's about just a little pastseven.
The sun sets here in an hour,which is really awesome to be
someplace where there's so muchsunshine, so much life, because
in California, where I came from, I know it gets dark, I think
around 4.30 pm and it's startingto get cold.
But again, those of you in theMidwest and the East Coast, I
know it's even more daunting.
(21:01):
That's a choice.
I have chosen to be here in NewZealand at this time and I am
going to enjoy the fuck out ofit.
So I'm going to go to a placethat's for dinner so I can see a
sunset.
If I don't know how the cloudsare, I'm going to enjoy that.
So I really do want you toenjoy your life, enjoy exploring
, enjoy being, enjoy doing whatyou truly want.
(21:23):
You should be living your ideallife.
And again, I'm still doing theideal life accelerators through
the end of the year.
Those are most Wednesdays atnoon Pacific time, which is 3 pm
Eastern.
And if I'm not doing an ideallife accelerator, which is where
I give about 10 minutes ofsharing some wisdom, and then I
(21:44):
do a little closed door behind avery elite group, this elite
group is able to go toJustinWinkcom ideal life X for
accelerator and they sign up andthey get one of the spots and
get a little one-on-one coachingwith me.
So if you would like that,please sign up.
We'd love to work with you alittle face-to-face, one-on-one
(22:07):
via the magic of Zoom.
And if I'm not doing that, thenI'm doing unlocking your ideal
life masterclass.
Also, all this free to the endof the year, because I know for
many people it's been a veryrough, challenging year and
there's a lot of uncertaintymoving ahead, and I want to
allow you to have some morecertainty that you can live an
ideal life.
So for that one, justinwinkcomslash ideal life.
(22:28):
So it's either unlocking yourideal life or accelerating your
ideal life.
I want you to be living yourideal life, not my ideal life,
not someone else's ideal life,not society's ideal life your
ideal life.
So now is the time.
So get on it one way or anotherand please remember to like,
