Chapter 86　　As soon as the Fisherman pulled him out, his green eyesopened widewith surprise, and he cried out in fear:　　"What kind of fish is this? I don't remember evereatinganything like it."He looked at him closely and after turning him overandover, he said at last:　　"I understand. He must be a crab12!"Pinocchio, mortified14 atbeing taken for a crab, said resentfully:　　"What nonsense! A crab indeed! I am no such thing.　　Beware how you deal with me! I am a Marionette,I want you toknow.""A Marionette?" asked the Fisherman. "I must admitthata Marionette fish is, for me, an entirely15 newkind of fish.　　So much the better. I'll eat you with greater relish16.""Eatme? But can't you understand that I'm not a fish?　　Can't you hear that I speak and think as you do?""It'strue," answered the Fisherman; "but since I seethat you are a fish,well able to talk and think as I do,I'll treat you with all duerespect.""And that is--""That, as a sign of myparticular esteem17,I'll leave toyou the choice of the manner in which you are to becooked. Do youwish to be fried in a pan, or do you preferto be cooked with tomatosauce?""To tell you the truth," answered Pinocchio, "if Imust choose,I should much rather go free so I may return home!""Areyou fooling? Do you think that I want to losethe opportunity to taste such arare fish? A Marionettefish does not come very often to these seas. Leave it tome.渔夫把他一抓出来，两只绿色大眼睛登时都吓得瞪圆了。他几乎是害怕地叫起来：　　“这是什么鱼？我想不起我曾经吃过这种鱼！”　　他把木偶再仔仔细细地看了一遍，等到看仔细了，最后说：　　“我明白了。这准是海里的螃蟹。”　　皮诺乔听说把他当作螃蟹，觉得是个耻辱，生气地说：　　“什么螃蟹不螃蟹？瞧你把我当什么啦！告诉你，我是木偶。”　　“木偶？”渔夫反问。“说真个的，木偶鱼对我来说是一种新的鱼！那更妙了，我更想吃你了。”　　“吃我？可您不懂吗，我不是鱼？您不觉得我跟您一样，会说话会思想吗？”　　“那倒是一点不错，”渔夫往下说，“我看你鱼还是鱼，可是很幸运，跟我一样会说话，会思想，因此我很愿意给你应有的照顾。”　　“什么照顾？……”　　“为了表示友好和对你的特殊敬意，我让你自由选择怎么烧法。你要在油锅里炸呢？还是要在平底锅里加上番茄酱煎呢？”　　“说老实话，”皮诺乔回答说，“如果要我选择的话，我宁可请您放了我，让我回家去。”　　“你在开玩笑！这么一条少有的鱼，你以为我会放过机会不尝它一尝吗？在这里海上还从来不知道有木偶鱼！依我的办吧。14 mortified v.使受辱( mortify的过去式和过去分词 )；伤害（人的感情）；克制；抑制（肉体、情感等）参考例句：· She was mortified to realize he had heard every word she said. 她意识到自己的每句话都被他听到了，直羞得无地自容。· The knowledge of future evils mortified the present felicities. 对未来苦难的了解压抑了目前的喜悦。 来自《简明英汉词典》15 entirely ad.全部地，完整地；完全地，彻底地参考例句：· The fire was entirely caused by their neglect of duty. 那场火灾完全是由于他们失职而引起的。· His life was entirely given up to the educational work. 他的一生统统献给了教育工作。16 relish n.滋味，享受，爱好，调味品；vt.加调味料，享受，品味；vi.有滋味参考例句：· I have no relish for pop music.我对流行音乐不感兴趣。· I relish the challenge of doing jobs that others turn down.我喜欢挑战别人拒绝做的工作。17 esteem n.尊敬，尊重；vt.尊重，敬重；把…看作参考例句：· I did not esteem him to be worthy of trust.我认为他不值得信赖。· The veteran worker ranks high in public love and esteem.那位老工人深受大伙的爱戴。

Alex wollte bei seiner Arbeit entspannen und hat trashige Musik gehört, aber der Heilige Geist versteht Spaß und auf einmal begegneten ihm tiefe Einsichten in dem Song von Britney Spears. Wenn wir uns öffnen – und nicht voreingenommen sind und Britney eben nicht nur als Mädchen in einem kurzen Röckchen abtun – öffnen sich Möglichkeiten. Denn manchmal fliegen einem irgendwelche Songzeilen zu und wenn wir offen sind entstehen neue Zusammenhänge und durch diese überraschenden Verbindung entsteht etwas komplett Neues. Und Alex kam diese Zeile von Britney Spears in den Kopf “how was I supposed to know” im Podcast wird deutlich was da los war. Die Autoren des Songs wollten mit „Baby One More Time“ andeuten, sich noch einmal zu treffen – und der ganze Song ist ja eine Art Hilferuf – immer wieder kommt Oh Baby, Baby – Zeig mir, wie es sein soll, sag es mir ich will es wissen – es ist irgendwie ein Ruf um Beistand um ein neues Finden der Beziehung – und dann sind auf einmal ganz nah an Psalm 86 – „Gib mir ein Zeichen deiner Güte – Give Me A Sign – ich bin elend und arm – zeige mir den Weg – Tell Me Baby – ich will treu sein und tun was du sagst – Britney wendet sich im Song in ihrer Sinnkrise an jemand, wie die Beter*innen in Psalm 86 es eigentlich auch tun "Give Me A Sign, Hit Me Baby One More Time" es wird um Gnade gebeten, um ein erlösendes Zeichen, ich will nicht zu den Verdammten gehören, ich wünsche mir wieder in Beziehung zu treten. Alex hatte auch Fragen, aber er war nicht so verzweifelt wie Britney – aber es hat ihn schon so beschäftigt, dass er aktiv wurde – was bedeutet "I Must confess, I still Believe" – im Podcast findet sich die Antwort.

I just got off the phone with a long-time friend who is now a coaching client. It's the call I needed in order to finish this script. This beloved friend began the conversation with the nearly universal phrase: "I feel like I'm always in the middle."And I get that. Even though I disagree a bit. I don't think he's in the "middle," per se; I think he's trapped in a relationship with people who hold somewhat opposing perspectives (political, social, theological) and hold those perspectives more tightly and more dearly than they do the people around them. In other words, he is in a relationship with fundamentalists who hold differing opinions; People who are so sure that what they think is correct and who are so sure that the things they think are important that they are willing to sacrifice relationship in order to hold onto their perspectives and ideas.That's the actual trauma and tragedy of Fundamentalism; it strips people of their humanity and rends us from those we would otherwise love. I'm not allowed to be on a journey or in a process. I MUST come to conclusions and have some form of certainty. Namely about things the machinery I've aligned myself with has deemed most important. --in 2008, I released a collection of songs entitled "Deconstruction." The title was actually a remnant from my collegiate studies in philosophy, where I spent a bit of time around the work and words of Jaques Derrida. At the time, "post-modernism" was the buzz phrase, particularly as some of its core tenants threatened the seemingly secure hold Modernity had on daily life. Most western, white-male-dominated cultures stood firmly on the assumption that some things were "True" and, in their being True and immovable. That assurance meant that the building of institutions and rules of life were safer and would be long-lasting. What Derrida offered, though, was the suggestion that the language used to communicate and understand those assurances was fraught with contradiction and complexity; that language did not reliably point in the direction of a controlling and anchoring "Truth."Instead, words are bound together by the tension and connection found between themselves. There was (and is) no central reference point from which each individual word derives its meaning. More simply, if a word has "meaning," it has that meaning in relationship to the words around it. And that's the constant; language and the connection between words. Some critics read Derrida as one more expression of "relative truth," but Derrida was up to something fundamentally different; he was suggesting that the "constant" was relationship itself. The relationship between words and between the people who used them. For example: In a religious context, that Truth might be expressed in a phrase like "God is love. "For Derrida, the wild differences between what I mean by "God "and what you meant suggests a lack of common experience; there is no "thing" to be called "God." what there is, though, is the connection between you and me. And, in that case, meaning wasn't to be discovered in a common experience of whatever the word "God" meant; it was forged and fostered in the connection and tension in the relationship between you and I.He called this "Deconstruction."DERRIDADIAN DECONSTRUCTION: The inherent desire to have a center around which meaning revolves or in which meaning is rooted. The reduction of meaning to a set of definitions committed to writing (nothing beyond the text)How that reduction of meaning to language captures opposition within the concept itselfAt the heart of his initial work was (and is) a frustration about the inherent desire in human hearts to place "meaning" at the center of existence. That just because we are alive, our lives must have meaning. He found this problematic and sought to undo it. Derrida saw it problematic that philosophy was driven by the need to find a centering, grounding meaning at all. He bristled at the certainty with which philosophers sought to find meaning somewhere; believing their certainty in any kind of absolute blinded them. My religious training counters that idea by suggesting that the desire in human hearts to live in and with meaning is a hunger similar to the hunger for food, a thing to actually schedule one's days around rather than learn to ignore, for really any reason. The details, of course, are negotiable, to say the least; but that nudge at the core of one's soul that says "there's more. not just out there, but in you" is real; it's part of what it means to be human. And this is why I find myself struggling with the use of the word "deconstruction" as a description for so much socio-religious conversation recently. The way I hear it, I think we're mostly talking about reorganization and maturity and growing and discernment, all of which is not just fine; it's good. It's true. It's beautiful. And I guess I wish we would let good things be good, sometimes. Most of the institutional conversations i'm around feature a critique of systems that poorly reflect a central truth or Reality that deserves a better treatment and culture. For many, churches are problematic, not because they're organized around a reality that is non-existent, but because their corporeal practices distract from the beauty and goodness of that Reality. Yes, please? I like that a lot. But that's not deconstruction. It's something ( i would suggest) richer and harder and more communal and more fluid and more human; it's the work part of belonging to people. It is the practice of Beloved Community. I have long believed that one of the most corrosive aspects of Fundamentalism is that it convinces us that ideas and definitions are more vital and important than the people who hold them. In that light, Fundamentalism convinces us that change is a necessarily deconstructive process; things are either true or false, black or white, real or not, in or out, Biblical or sinful, sacred or secular - alive to the Glory of and service of God or fit to be torn down and trampled... there is no movement or growth or progress or even redemption; I've either got it right, or I've got to go. The glaring feature in that fundamentalist mindset is fear, mostly fear that the center won't hold if it's moved or challenged or not protected. And.. here's where I'd like to land this plane: I don't think that's what we have on hand, collectively and culturally. I don't think despair at the absence of existential meaning is winning the day. I think that nudge.. got a lot stronger.. for a lot more people. And a lot more people want to move whatever it is in the way of getting more of that nudge.I think we're seeing a scandalously broad awakening ... that this nudge and the fact that I sense it matters MORE than the words some paid professional uses to describe it, control it and commodify it. What I'm seeing is the fervent and sometimes angry tearing away at whatever artifice is deemed in the way of a clear vision of what's most real. I'm hearing conviction and frustration that there is, in fact, a center (though it might not be static) and that there are fundamental truths (though they may be interpersonal in nature) but that all this gatekeeping garbage culture is keeping people we love and like and want and need from the goodness of it. I don't mind the word "deconstruction" but historically, deconstruction is a very specific and often highly individualized process by which one unearths the very core and center of their being and decides that if there is meaning in their world or in their life, it must be constructed and held together by the sheer force of the own, individual will. So, if that's you, I get it, and that's real and can be terrifying and also really good. But if it's not, then consider that you might not be deconstructing. You might be feeling an invitation to a legitimate "awakening" to be shared by all kinds of people, with whom you agree and disagree; an awakening angled towards (and maybe even prompted by) a goodness, Truth, and beauty worth tearing things down for... as well as worth building around. Links for Justin :JustinMcRoberts.comSupport this podcastPre-order the new book - It Is What You Make itHearts and MindsAmazonBarnes and Noble

   I can never seem to make people understand that keeping busy is the way I rest. People see me staying busy and because they, themselves, are happy to spend time in front of Netflix, they think that’s the way everybody out to chill. “You need to take time to rest, Michael.” You’re going to kill yourself working so hard. You don’t always have to be doing something.”    And that’s where they err. I DO always have to be doing something because if I’m not, chances are my heart rate is up, I’m filled with anxiety, and I’m about to explode. My blood sugar raises to DEFCON 80 if I spend too much time idly watching TV that’s not something that teaches me “How-To” do a thing. My blood sugar goes up because I’m an emotional eater. And also, I have the palette of a four-year-old, so I go looking for Oreos or anything with milk chocolate in it. My hands HAVE to be doing something, so if I’m lying in the bed watching The Mentalist, I’ll unconsciously occupy them by frequently dipping my fingers in a jar filled from one of the four million bags of Cadbury Mini Eggs I bought for .89 cents at the local bin store. It’s just one of the aspects of being a Type A personality and I’m the poster boy. I’m Michael Blackston and this is a rather tedious look into my Funny, Messy, Life.   ________________________      I think it’s pretty important that people understand that there are different personality types and what’s good for the goose is not always good for the gander.    My wife needs to rest in the middle of the day. For the longest time, I considered her a little lazy because she’s always wanted to take a nap. It was well into our marriage before I realized that it wasn’t that she was lazy. Studies show that women require more down time, but being an introvert, her body also requires mental recharge time in order to function. Have you ever seen a person melt into unrecognizable goo after about 20 minutes in a crowd? Introverts do that. Kayla has friends who are also introverts that she can relate to. They make sure the other one is going to be at the same parties so they can huddle in a corner and not talk to anyone but each other. I figure the conversation probably goes something like:    “Hey. Glad you’re here so I don’t have to talk to anybody else.”    “Yeah, me too. But I still don’t want to be here, even though we’re friends. I love you and all, but ... you know ... there are people here. I want to be alone in the dark with my cats.”    “I agree. I think I’m gonna go.”    I understand that about her now, so when she’s taking a mid-day nap, it’s okay. I can go right on teaching myself to paint with watercolors and simultaneously learn the basics of arranging orchestral music for the hurdy-gurdy and the didgeridoo, and everybody’s happy.    Take this episode of the podcast for example.    When I left work to go to lunch, the folks in the office told me to take a load off for a while and not think about anything. I’d been tediously etching a triple portrait using a photo reference that was about as clear as that video of Big Foot walking through the woods.    When I said I’d be writing a blog post for a podcast episode, the lady behind the desk said, “Heavens no! You sit back and let your hands rest.” I was patient with her. I don’t visit that company very often and they don’t quite know my quirks yet, so I told her that writing was the way I relax and that I was looking forward to it. She didn’t believe me.    “You work too hard. You’re going to kill yourself.”    It’s constant because people who have a personality different from mine can’t get their heads around it, especially those who know what I do for a living and don’t understand how I can use my hands nonstop all day and rest by typing or playing my piano in my down time. It’s because I’m used to it and I don’t like down time. The last down time - I’ll call it an incident - that I tried to take, I ended up flying off the handle and going outside to completely rearrange the back yard, including the trees.    You might ask, What about vacations?    Well, I love a good vacation. Who doesn’t? But don’t expect me to sit around a pool all day or lay out on the beach. First, I’ll be the guy wearing a full body radiation suit because my skin bursts into flames when it comes into direct contact with the sun. Second, if I am at the beach, I’m probably body surfing or taking my daughter out in the waves or fighting off people who think I’m some kind of alien in my radiation suit. And you can ask my wife if you don’t believe me when I tell you that I will also have a pen or pencil and a notebook or sketch pad with me and I will bury myself in some sort of artistic endeavor.    We love us some Disney World, but if you’ve been there, you know it’s anything but relaxing. I may not be creating anything at the moment, but I promise I’m doing something constructive. I’m taking in the experience and trying to figure out ways to implement what I see around me into my daily life.    But you have to stand in lines forever. There’s not much you can create in the line for Pooh’s Happy Grand Adventure Time Experience Land.    I beg to differ the heck out of that, my friend.    I’m not looking at my phone like every other schmuck in line who’s trying to pass the time. I always bring a mechanical pencil and a pocket sized sketchbook. I sketch the scene around me. I’ve been known to draw architecture, characters, the people in line ahead of me, and once I drew a dude’s feet because he was wearing sandals and he had funky feet. It really should have been against the law for him to be wearing sandals. I also think I once rendered some big dude’s plumber’s crack in graphite.    But I still get grief from the people who have known me forever and should be aware that nothing they say is ever going to stop me from keeping busy.    When I direct a theatre show, I have my hands in almost every aspect of it.    My last show was Nunsense, I co-directed it, built the set, painted the set, planned the lighting scheme, built some of the props, cleaned parts of the theatre ... all because I wanted to and would’ve FREAKED OUT if I hadn’t.    My cast, entirely made up of ladies, told me I did too much and was going to give myself a heart attack, then they all laid down and took a nap.     They may have been right, though. Scientists have found that Type A’s are the greatest risk for heart disease.    But I’ll tell you this - try and stop me from constantly being on the go and I WILL DEFINITELY have a heart attack.    This isn’t a choice I’m making - it’s how I’m wired. I have to create, I’ve got to achieve. I MUST be productive. I don’t believe in the phrase, “I can’t” and I refuse to do “good enough.”    I have to try and master everything I put my mind to and if I fail, that’s okay because I gave it my best effort. I’ll also try, try, try, try, try, try again.    It can get annoying. My wife tells me to just sit down for a minute and for the love of all that’s pure and holy because I’m driving her crazy and she can’t sleep with all that moving around the house as I scrub the floor boards with a magic eraser. And sometimes I’ll give it a shot, but it usually ends up with me darting forth like a person who darts forth, yelling, “DO ALL THE THINGS!”    I guess you’d call it a blessing and a curse, but it’s one I have learned to cope with. And I’m thankful for it, too. It’s because I have a Type A personality that I’ve been able to write the Great American Novel ... two of them so far, actually, although I can’t be the one to call them great. That’ll be up to my readers, but at least I finished them, by thunder! I’ve written two stage plays and a musical, too, thanks to being a guy that never stops. So I won’t apologize.     Type A’s are go-getters. We get things done. We may have ulcers, but we get things done. Yay for Type A! And now the thing I need to go get done is to wake up my wife. She needed a nap.

New PHARTS Podcast Episode!!!!! . ⭐️

This last section of John, which really isn't a section but just an arbitrary group of chapters based on the reading pattern I have chosen, really illuminates the length to which Jesus went to demonstrate who He was. John, probably more than the other gospel writers, really connects Jesus' identity with Jesus' actions leading up to and after the crucifixion and resurrection. John is trying to emphasize that the disciples didn't get it, but that Jesus was very explicit in demonstrating who He was. It is with humility that John writes this...being one of the disciples himself. Further, the fact that John was the so called ‘beloved one' and that he didn't really get it or really buy into who Jesus was until He returned further makes the point. You know, I can't blame these guys though...I have never seen a guy hung on a cross and then had him come back and join me for dinner a few days later, so that would be difficult to accept and anticipate regardless of what that person did to convince me that it was going to happen. Thomas' reaction that we see today is really most everyone's reaction at some level, the reaction of “I'll believe it when I see it”. And I guess that's the big take away from all of this for me today...it is the reminder that hindsight is 20/20, and that with regard to the resurrection, I can't experience it, read about it, or learn about it without this hindsight. It is easy to see the pieces coming together from where I sit. But in my own life, on a day-to-day basis, I need to understand that these disciples were in Jesus' midst and they didn't get it; I am not in Jesus' midst, though I do have the Holy Spirit as a substitute, and I can easily miss what God has for me. I MUST learn to humble myself, to seek out and listen to God's guidance, and I must be attentive to what He is telling me in the world around me, or I will miss whatever He has for me as well. I can look back on my life now and easily see times when God was moving and I didn't see it...and I must learn to trust that God continues in that way in my life now. A big part of our spiritual journey is learning to live WITH God in the moment vs. always looking back and realizing that He was actually there and that I didn't realize it. It is hard...it is weird in some ways, because God is the only friend I have that I can't see or touch...but that is the way it is for now.

By Pastor Brandon Dirmann We are starting a new series based off the book "Stepping Into The Kingdom" This book and series is all about the Kingdom of God and fully stepping into it (The rule and rules of King Jesus) We are starting by talking about what the Kingdom of God is and how it is that we step into it. // Chapters 1&2 - Mark 5:1-15 (NKJV) - Then they came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarenes. 2 And when He had come out of the boat, immediately there met Him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, 3 who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no one could bind him, not even with chains, 4 because he had often been bound with shackles and chains. And the chains had been pulled apart by him, and the shackles broken in pieces; neither could anyone tame him. 5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones. 6 When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped Him. 7 And he cried out with a loud voice and said, “What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God that You do not torment me.” 8 For He said to him, “Come out of the man, unclean spirit!” 9 Then He asked him, “What is your name?” And he answered, saying, “My name is Legion; for we are many.” 10 Also he begged Him earnestly that He would not send them out of the country. 11 Now a large herd of swine was feeding there near the mountains. 12 So all the demons begged Him, saying, “Send us to the swine, that we may enter them.” 13 And at once Jesus gave them permission. Then the unclean spirits went out and entered the swine (there were about two thousand); and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and drowned in the sea. 14 So those who fed the swine fled, and they told it in the city and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that had happened. 15 Then they came to Jesus, and saw the one who had been demon-possessed and had the legion, sitting and clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid. The NT teaches EVERYTHING has changed because the Kingdom of God is at hand Matthew 3:2 (NKJV) - John the baptist preached THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is at hand. Therefore, repent! Matthew 4:17 (NKJV) - Jesus began and continued in His earthly ministry preaching "The Kingdom of God is at hand repent" ? WHAT IS THE KINGDOM ? THE KINGDOM OF GOD - God as king! God's authority and His right to rule based on His might, power, and glory. It is the realm of God's rule as the one and only true God.                     For example, when you go to someone else's house you are under                          their families' rules because it is their house. You are under their rule                      and rules.                     Another example is the rules and rule of a different country if you                            were to visit. You are no longer under the rules or rule of America,                          but have entered into a different rule. The KINGDOM OF GOD can be hard to understand as it is not RIGHT NOW tangible. Luke 17:20-21 (NKJV) - Jesus said that the Kingdom of God does not come with observation but that it is within. While the Kingdom of God will be visible and tangible when Jesus returns, right now it is present in the hearts and lives those who receive it by faith. ? WHAT IS THE PURPOSE and mission of Gods Kingdom? The mission of God's Kingdom is the invasion of darkness, the defeat of the enemy, and the freedom and fullness of humanity. This is what we see in Mark 5 as a man who was tormented was fully set free! Jesus came and fully defeated death, hell, and the grave so that we can have full life and freedom. EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED, you don't have to stay in darkness, sin, bondage, or struggle anymore. ? SO HOW DO I STEP INTO THE KINGDOM ? #1. You Must Be Born Again John 3:3 (NKJV) - Jesus said that you and I MUST be born again. #2. You Must Be Water Baptized Acts 2:37-39 (NKJV) - The response of the Holy Spirits conviction is to turn to Jesus and to be baptized. Romans 6:1-4 (NKJV) - Paul says that water baptism is symbolic our having died to our old life and being born again into life with Jesus. #3. You Must Be Baptized In The Holy Spirit Acts 1:4-5 (NKJV) - Jesus said WAIT for the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Acts 1:8 (NKJV) - Jesus said that the Holy Spirit will give you the power to be and do all that He has called you to do. THERE IS LIFE AND FREEDOM IN CHRIST WHEN YOU STEP INTO THE KINGDOM See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey, Hey, A:R Nation! I hope you're doing well! As summer is winding down (at the time of this recording), I hope that you're enjoying it as much as I've been! With the change in season (as well as NYC trying to resume more and more operations after COVID shutdown), my law office phone has been ringing more and more. Sure, most business owners would say that a ringing phone is music to their ears. For me, that's not a hard truth. I'll no longer work with people that have to have everything their way, that don't respect my boundaries, people that are limited in their thinking. It's some harsh commentary, but it's been evidencing itself in quite a few of the phone calls I've received in the past couple of weeks. These potential leads have contacted my office hoping to get some "questions" answered, but I've come to the conclusion that they just want someone to tell them what they WANT to hear, and not what they NEED to hear. What I mean by that is these callers go into their conversation with me with preconceived judgments and expectations. For me, that's not a conversation because there's no room for me to share my thoughts and ideas. When a party to a "conversation" will only accept what they want to hear, that's dictating the dialogue. Many of these clients called with "questions," but when my answers didn't align with their preconceived decisions and judgments, their response invariably was, "so there's nothing I can do." Those words never came out of my mouth. Yet because the caller's questions was framed by a preconceived outcome of what they wanted to hear, my responses somehow equaled "there's nothing I can do," although there's plenty that they could do. This reminded me of an argument a good friend and I got into years ago over (of all things) an iPad stand. For me, looking at these conversations helps me to realize that, when engaging in a conversation, I MUST leave room for the other parties to be able to freely share their thoughts and ideas. As a listener, I can try harder to get the person I'm speaking with to see that other, different perspectives exist.

And we're back to cover another chapter of Fire & Blood but before we begin I MUST give everyone a fair warning: Preston's audio fucked up majorly. Like....it was cracking and staticy. So much so that we had to hire a professional audio editor to fix it. So if Preston's audio sounds terrible? Well....yeah. We'll make sure it's fixed for the next time!

“But what if I really need to lose weight?”Most of the clients that come to me wouldn't be mad if they just HAPPENED to lose weight some.Or they will outright say, "I really want to lose X pounds."Some are hesitant to tell me this because they feel like it is "the wrong thing to say."There is never a "wrong" thing to say.The fact that you would want to lose weight isn't surprising at all considering the culture that we live in.We are all fighting our own battle with fatphobia and weight discrimination.You wanting to lose weight doesn't make you bad or a failure and it isn't something you need to be ashamed of.The part I want to open your eyes to and really get clear about is the HOW?How to you plan to lose weight?What would you do different?Often it’s “I’d exercise more , I’d eat a few more vegetables, I’d take better care of myself”Ok, honestly it’s usually a bit more extreme and harsh which is why it’s not sustainable.When you reach the point of “this is enough, I MUST lose weight!!” You think you need a plan as intense as the hate for your body. So you reach for something extreme.And it works...for a month or two or even 6, but you inevitably end up where you started or worse.The actual food plays about a 4% role in this work.If you are someone who wants to lose weight, you know diets don't work but also feel lost as to what your next step should even be, Ep 18: ‘so you wanna lose weight’ is for you!

Like magic, the sorcery of stories is this: they help each of us to be seen and heard, to understand and be understood.When asked the question, “What would you do if you were fearlessly courageous?”  Elena Marsh said, “I would walk Camino”.  And she did walk - in August 2019. But miles weren’t all she collected. There was personal growth. Talking with Elena last week in Part 1 I asked her what she would say to someone contemplating the Camino. Let’s rejoin the conversation as Elena fills us in and we continue to walk together retracing her footsteps across Spain.  28:00 to 30:00  Q: Camino is a moment in time; how did the experience shift your life?Camino footprints: Camino will continue to live onRelaxed, present, balanced, mindfulDeliberate focus and mindfulness eludes32:00 to 36:00 Photos and feelingsSunflowersPointing her stick to yellow arrowLake in the distanceA Camino gallery in the homeCamino Frances (Camino de Santiago) is like a return homeYellow arrow and camaraderieMixed feelings 36:00 to 41:00  Questions to elicit recallInsights and giftsCamino calls many people many waysNote: you will experience as much peace as you broughtShe would ask those who want to walk: "What are you bringing with you?"Camino can double your luggage. 41:00 to 45:00 International Leadership Transformation Coach/BeCoach AcademyFocus of her workTo lead others you must learn to lead yourselfTurn your face from ME!

I just knew it's my thing to do and that something special will happen to me there. Year after year I was postponing the adventure. Until December 2018 when I had a coaching session with my coach and she asked me “What would you do if you were fearlessly courageous?” And I said: “I would walk Camino”. And from this moment it all began to get serious. My Camino happened in August 2019. Together with my husband, I walked from Saint Jean Pied de Port to Santiago de Compostella. It impacted my life significantly on different levels. And this is what I will be sharing with you in this podcast.”CONTACT: BeCoach Academy Thank you for listening to this episode of Stories From Women Who Walk.

Welcome back to this episode of The Heartbeat with the incredible Jessi Kneeland who is a writer, iPEC certified life coach, clinical sexologist, TEDx speaker, and all around awesome human. Today we discuss topics such as body image, worthiness, conscious relationships, and the biggie for all of us - feeling enough. "I think it was this massive feeling of like, once I did that - I did this scary thing that I was not sure at all was the right thing to do - and on the other side of it I realized 'I can trust my intuition, and in fact I MUST always, again, forever trust my intuition.' Cause it was right, and everyone else was wrong, and I'm the only person who can be an expert on me." "People would be like, 'damn, how did you get your abs so flat?', you know, or 'I want my butt like that' or whatever, and I loved that. I felt so successful because we've been given this model of what success looks like for women, and it's to be as perfect and hot as possible, and so I felt successful. And what was really really hard as I made this shift, was to realize that I needed to give up the feeling of worth and success in order to do the deeper work of feeling worthy as a person." "'No wonder I'm anxious all the time, no wonder my shoulders and neck are all bound up', you know? A lot of it was wanting the status, and wanting to look like I felt like I was supposed to look, wanting to look more perfect. And a lot of it too, I think on an unconscious level, was keeping me from feeling all the stuff that came out when I had to feel it. Because it was a lot of stuff that came out when I learned to breathe, when I learned to feel. That was not easy and there was a lot there. It was a lot of backlogged stuff around trauma."

There's a question I get all the time and it is a sure sign of someone that is going to quit. I totally understand why someone would be curious about the answer, and in the past I'd say the question was unanswerable. After over 13 years of running my own businesses and helping others start and build theirs, I realize there is an answer. An obvious answer. But, it's not the answer 'get rich quickers' want to know, so now I MUST answer it to weed them out. The question is: "How long does it take to create a profitable freedom business?" I use to say the answer was, "It depends..." It depends on what market you pick. It depends on what business system you follow. It depends on how much time you put into it. It depend on how serious you are about starting it. It depends on if you have grit. It depends on your interest in your audience. It depends... "How long does it take to create a profitable freedom business?" My answer now is, "When you create enough value for a very specific audience that they are willing to exchange value for it, boom, you will be profitable." That is the correct answer, but for most, it's unfulfilling. The problem is the question. When I started, I never asked that question. Here is what I thought: "I want this so bad that I'm going to keep going UNTIL it works. Other people are doing it, so I can too. I just need to keep going until it works." I didn't have a proven out system, so it took me about a year to piece together as much info as I could to come up with a system to try. I was profitable the first month, once I figured out a make-shift system. You don't have that problem, the system is the Freedom Club. Over 10,000 people have learned from the system inside the Freedom Club including Pat Flynn, Mark Mason, Jamie Masters, Brian Moran, and many many more. You have to get your mindset right. Want it so bad that you're going to keep going UNTIL it works. That is the key... http://ibmamain.wpengine.com/freedomclub/ Jeremy Frandsen World Leader in Freedom Business Education

Join us in the scary times as we discuss the various games you can play to escape the apocalypse. WITH POST APOCALYPTIC GAMES! Fortuan, MorgDaddy, and Pan have a blast, not too big don't need that many casualties. 1. Metro 2. Kenshi 3. Grim Dawn 4. Hellgate London 5. Fallout 6. The Last Federation 7. I have no Mouth and I Must scream 8. RAGE 9. Darksiders 10. Windwaker 11. NES Legend of Zelda 12. Enslaved: 13. Monster Hunter

Often times people find themselves regretting their life because it's not going the way they had expected. Life is full of twist and turns and many are out of our control. But learning to push forward with the mindset that says " life is like a stage and I'm the actor/actress and no one can play this role better than me, so I MUST survive." The Dash with Matrilla podcast is all about uplifting, inspiring, mentoring, motivating & encouraging men and women to Never give up on their LIFE or their Dreams! But the core to the podcast is to Never give up on GOD! My motto is Never Give up on your Life. Never Give up on your Dreams & Never Give on God. My signature or tagline is "Smile It's Contagious!"

One of the biggest determinants in actually completing the actions necessary to accomplish our goals is how important that goal is to us. When we change our mindset from one of "I need to do this" to "I MUST do this" we change everything that goes into creating meaningful action.

So first let’s deal with the self-fulfilling prophecy. I MUST stop identifying myself as a procrastinator. I have been working over the last several years to distance myself from that identity. The first way I did that was through time management. The second way I have distanced myself from this identity is through the concept of keeping the promises I make to myself. Now I am not specifically talking about resolutions although what I am about to tell you might sound a bit like that. I am talking about making a promise to myself about something I want to work on within myself and then keeping it. What I have found is that when I trust myself to keep my personal promises, I feel more confident on the outside. When I am more confident on the outside I find that I am better at keeping my promises to others!

The universe has been sending me multiple messages about using my voice in business and I pushed this podcast ahead on my editorial calendar schedule because I believe the message is so important to share! Over the Thanksgiving break, I ran into this incredible singer who was belting out blues songs. I was in awe of her voice and her ability to sing. I got to speaking with her after she was done and she repeated told me I had a voice too and I needed to learn to use it. While you might be thinking, "Jam, why are you sharing this?" I believe it is important to talk about how to find your voice and what it means and why it is so important to peel back the layers in business and truly share your voice. Over the years, I have become more and more transparent in business. I stayed small because I believe I could do it all myself. I didn't say what I meant and I was afraid of what others might say about me if I owned who I was and truly was myself. Over the last several months, I have had more and more test about using my voice especially in business and standing up for myself. I've had to stand up for my team members, my business, my content and have hard conversations. If I hadn't embraced myself and learned to speak my voice I wouldn't be where I am today. I thought this was an important message I MUST share. Like what you hear? Apply to work with us! Click here.

Attitude of Gratitude at the Holidays Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, blessed holy days, praise the universe for Winter Solstice and a joyous new year to one and all. As we celebrate the fourth Pure Dog Talk Christmas, I am focused on an Attitude of gratitude. Number one Gratitude to my listeners who encourage me, share the love, provide GREAT ideas and support the show financially through our https://patron.podbean.com/puredogtalk (Patrons) program. I am so grateful that you all take the time to listen in to the incredible conversations I am so lucky to have. We surpassed a half million downloads on Thanksgiving day this year, on the three year anniversary of our debut episode. And our audience and listernership is growing by leaps and bounds every day. Please, continue to share the show, bring people to the table who might enjoy our “talks.” And, absolutely, give me your ideas. I can’t swear I’ll get to every single one immediately, but they are ALL on a LOOOOOONG list of great topics for upcoming shows. Number twoGratitude to my guests. I am not kidding when I say I am the luckiest girl alive. I get to talk to ALL of the coolest people in dogs. And, after 40 years of grooming, training, handling, now judging, I literally learn something from EVERY single episode. My guests give freely of their time, their experience, their accumulated DECADES of wisdom and offer YOU the listener an unbelievable platform on which to gather knowledge. Number threeGratitude to my sponsors. These corporations have made a conscious decision to reach out to the purebred dog community, to support us, our education, our goals, ambitions and dreams. https://trupanion.com/ec/breeder?utm_source=puredogtalk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=pdt_092018 (Trupanion) and, for the first time, (drumrollllll) announcing our brand new sponsor Embark, have committed not just money but dedication to the purebred dog fancier that is admirable, and entirely worthy of your business. I am a firm believer that we support those companies who support us. Without these amazing companies, Pure Dog Talk would not exist. And that’s a fact. Check out Trupanion’s Breeder Support program and breeding rider. Investigate Embark’s DNA genetic testing. I cannot say enough about Trupanion and Embark and their willingness to invest in YOUR future. I MUST also shoutout to the Dog Show Superintendent’s Association which was the very FIRST supporter that stepped up and said “YES, Pure Dog Talk is exactly the type of education and mentorship program our sport needs. Here, let us help you.” ALWAYS remember to stop by the superintendent’s desk and give them a shout out for their support of Pure Dog Talk. Our advertisers and partners, from Show Dog Prep School to Leading Edge Dog Show Academy to local clubs, are also due my unending gratitude for their confidence in our platform. Number fourMoving on, I am and we ALL should be offering our undying gratitude to the Breeders who came before us. We are, without exception, building on the shoulders of those who came before. In my own case, Ray and Lyn Calkins, Cascade Wirehairs, Mildred Revell, Weidenhugel Wirehairs, Bernee Brawn, Justa GWP, Silke Alberts Cadenberg GWP, and the additional mentors who took the time to help me like GWPCA founding member Genevieve Capstaff, Pat Laurans, Joy Brewster, Judy Cheshire, Laura Myles, Doug Ljungren and many more. If you haven’t done it already, make that same list. Send them a little note this Christmas and say thank you. Thank you for the help, the guidance, the information, the direction, the encouragement, the criticism and the hard work YOU have done to bring the breed to the place it is today. We NEED Dog BreedersSo, now my stump speech…. When my family & I got involved in purebred dogs 40+ years ago, the dog show was chock a block with, you guessed it, dog breeders. Today, dog breeders at the dog show are phantoms, rarely seen. Today, we have exhibitors. And Exhibitors, dog... Support this podcast

What a great response to part 1 of this last Friday. Books really do have such an impact on people. So, I’m delighted to share this part 2 in both blog & podcast form today.This blog just touches briefly on 5 books I read this year that had (and continue to have) a positive impact on me. And I’ll briefly outline why. The podcast episode goes a little deeper as I read an extract from each of the books. I hope you’ll enjoy both/either. All of the books will be linked to here or on my site.So, taking up where we left off, here are the final 5 that make up the list. Let’s dive straight into them.Shoe Dog – Phil Knight (link to book on Amazon here)This is actually the only biography in the top 10 this year. Well the next one is a practical biography I guess but this fact tells you something about my reading preferences perhaps.Phil Knight is the founder of Nike. And this book tracks his journey from the very start in 1962 right up to the early 1990s.In truth this book is more than a autobiography. It’s content can help you learn so much about running a business, the challenges faced every day, hiring the best people, trust, relationships, and so much more. He combined his passion for running with business and tells this story year by year in the bookBounce – Matthew Syed (link to book on Amazon here)When it comes to talent and mastery, the then thousand-hour rule is something that has been talked about for a while and covered in a few many books and articles.In this book, released a few years ago, Syed provides a mountain a lot of evidence to back up the hypothesis. He himself made it to the Olympics representing Great Britain at Table Tennis and is living proof that hard work can get you to the top.It’s more than just hard work. There are a number of factors that need to be considered when putting in the 3 hours per day for 10 years, but it’s very possible.As I have very high hopes for my 1 year old son, this book has given me a lot to think about. Jake - no pressure at all! I’m looking forward to reading more of Matthew’s work in 2020.The Power of Habit – Charles Duhigg (link here)I mentioned in part 1 that the top 10 list is not really ordered in best to least good! However, I did indicate the paradox of choice would in the top 3. Another one that makes the top 3 is this masterpiece on habits from Charles Duhigg.This book kept popping up over last couple of years and having a fascination around habits, I was keen to dive into it. It didn’t disappoint.The story telling combined with science and experimental truths make this one a compelling read and one I took a crazy amount of notes and learnings from that I have been using in my own coaching work and daily habit analysis and formation.It, like many of the ones on this list, help me understand the why and how of every day life that bit better.The little book of Ikigai – Ken Mogi (link here)This is one of the most recent books I read so might be a benefactor of a recency bias.  Through my own coaching journey, finding my purpose, values and knowing myself better has made life and how I live it so much more fulfilling. In many ways the message of ikigai and the pillars covered in detail in the book through stories made me realise I was finding my own ikigai through a different approach but very similar outcomes.It’s a nice read and worth checking out. One that might hold some real value for you if you’re struggling with the existential question of ‘Who am I?’. A guest on the podcast recently, James Mofatt (link to episode here) found ikigai at a time when he needed it most. Worth a listen for sure.Smarter Faster Better – Charles Duhigg (link here)The only author with 2 in the top 10 so you could say it’s been a big year for Duhigg’s work (I don’t know the guy btw but would very much like to have him on the podcast).To end with a book with the word ‘better’ in the title was not planned but now seems apt as the theme running through all of these is to improve.Smarter Faster Better, while maybe not as impactful as ‘habits’, is still full of insights around how to be more productive, smarter with your time, maintain motivation and be efficient and effective.Duhigg got the idea for this book as he was finishing up the power of habits. He was inspired by a colleague at The New York Times who was also a surgeon and seemed to have endless time to get stuff done. Duhigg was motivated to understand and share the secret sauce of being productive as a result.Some great ideas in this and puts labels on many things you might already do – one personal favourite is disfluency which I talk about in the podcast version.So that’s it. 10 great reads from reading in 2019.I hope this is useful. It’s meant to be. To provide you with some potential reading for 2020 if not already covered.Thanks for read & listening.Do get in touch if you have one book you feel I MUST read in 2020.

12.01.19 - Dave Lambert - Ye Must, We Must, I Must, He Must by Sermons from the Apostolic Faith Church of Portland, Oregon

The Learning Leader Show With Ryan Hawk Episode #338: Jason Fried Full show notes can be found at www.LearningLeader.com Text LEARNERS to 44222 to learn more Jason Fried is the founder & CEO at Basecamp. He's the co-author of Getting Real, Remote, REWORK, and It Doesn't Have To Be Crazy At Work.  Basecamp is a privately-held Chicago-based company committed to building the best web-based tools possible with the least number of features necessary. Their blog, Signal vs. Noise, is read by over 100,000 people every day. Jason believes there's real value and beauty in the basics. Elegance, respect for people's desire to simply get stuff done, and honest ease of use are the hallmarks of Basecamp products. Notes: Commonalities of leaders who sustain excellence: Willingness/ability to know what's the work worth doing The skill to discern what's important How to develop that skill? Must become a good auditor of your time.  Practice.  Look back on what you've done.  Analyze what you do? Discern what's worth it. Remote work: Basecamp has 56 employees in 30 cities around the world... Why remote? "You don't want the best people, you want the right people."  The odds of all the right people living near your headquarters is small. The business started in Chicago with three people. They hired DHH to be their first programmer.  He lived in Denmark.  Then they hired someone in Utah.  "It just worked.  We didn't worry about where, just wanted to find the right people." Jason never writes a business plan -- No 1, 3, or 5 year plan.  They work in six week project increments. Why? "Planning is simply guessing.  Setting your course over a guess doesn't seem like a good idea.  We have an idea of where we're headed, but we work in six week chunks." What Jason learned from Jeff Bezos:  "People who were right often changed their minds." --> Be willing to change your mind when better evidence presents itself. The "anti-goal" mindset: "(Financial) Goals are made up. There's nothing about them that's true.  They are guesses... Made up numbers." "Asking if I hit the goal is the wrong question.  Asking if I enjoyed the run is the better question." "One of the problems with setting goals is you are a different person when you set them than when they need to be met."  You grow, evolve, and change. "Too many companies focus on numbers instead of their customers." --> That is because they have number based goals to hit.  It can ruin the customer experience (Jason had a terrible experience trying to cancel his satellite radio service) Qualities Jason looks for when making hiring decisions: Communicate clearly - "You must be a great writer."  Much of their communication is done in writing.  "We look at the cover letter first.  That must be good.  If that's not well written, then we do not look at the resume." Quality of character - "You must be a good person.  We hire people that we want to be with.  No ego.  We like to hire people that use "we" and "us" instead of "I" Must be able to give and take feedback - Need to be coachable.  "For designers, we give them a project to do in the interview process and then we provide them feedback.  If they can't handle it, we will not hire them." Transition from individual contributor to leader... How to do it well? "It is REALLY hard. Very few people are born being good managers." "Come to terms that you can no longer do everything." Advice Jason got from Tobi (CEO of Shopify) - "As the CEO, you are working on longer term strategic initiatives.  You don't get to feel the day-to-day progress that people lower in the organization feel."  Need to get comfortable with that. Some of the benefits at Basecamp: Fully paid vacation every year for all employees ($5K), 3 day weekends all summer, $1K/year in continuing education outside of your job, $100/month for a massage, $100/month gym membership, $2K/year charity match, paid in the top 10% of your salary range as if you lived in San Francisco (even though no employees live in San Francisco) Why do it? "It's the right thing to do.  I wanted to start a business that I wanted to work at.  We're a company that cares about service." "People are not the place to save money.  They are the place to spend money." "Give people their time.  A contiguous block of time every day to do their work."  Don't muddle it up with meetings in the middle of that time. "I'll work hard now so I can relax later" is not the optimal way to live.  Create the habits now to enjoy it as you go.  "Later" is where intentions go to die.  "When calm starts early, calm becomes the habit."

How many times do you say “I Can’t” in a day’s time? Many of us say it more often then we think. You might say it out loud, or to yourself, under your breath. You might even believe it on a subconscious level, without being aware of it. If you make a conscious effort to […] The post If I Can’t I Must appeared first on Essence of Being.

I know you are a going to love this interview I did with RockStar Millennial  Nick Lubecki as much as I did because I listened to it today as I drove to work. So the shownotes are  completely raw from the day we actually spoke. I didn’t have time to fix them but they are great! I have 20 episodes in the bank I can’t wait to share. In an ideal world, I would share them all right away! But in reality it’s all I can usually do to produce one a week. I will try though to get them caught up so they are current! In the meantime I hope you enjoy as much as I do. I’ve been having some sound problems too it seems in Andony’s podcast last week I thought I was too loud, this one I feel like I am can’t always hear everything I say? I’m as frustrated as you are that way, as I just copy and save everything, the settings don’t really change? I feel like ever since January 2018 I’ve been struggling with my sound? But I think you will love the content as much as I enjoyed recording it! Happy Spring Everyone! Tuesday February 5th, 2019 Today we have a rockstar millennial Nick Lubecki from Grow Pittsburgh (https://www.growpittsburgh.org/)  who is giving a presentation on Learning Circle: Weed Management in Intensive Veggie Production. (https://www.growpittsburgh.org/) Tell us a little about yourself. Right now I am the Farm Manager which is a project of Grow Pittsburgh (https://www.growpittsburgh.org/) (https://www.growpittsburgh.org/) urban nonprofit help people start community gardens around the county we have 2 urban farms Currently I manage the Braddock farm about an acre or so borough of Braddock town just outside  Pittsburgh last remaining steel mill in the next door It reminds me of the Brooklyn Grange on your website with the urban mill and the farm together. Yeah! It’s a great photo shot for sure! Tell me about your first gardening experience? my first memory visiting grandparents in northern PA They had a huge garden fruit trees sunflowers all that sort of thing as a kid I was really excited about that! at our home, my grandmother helped put together our first big garden, Imust have been 5-6 years old.  Do you have brothers and sisters? Yeah, we were all involved at first, eventually became me and my brother and we’re still growing together today! we are about an hour about north of the city! I’ve been gardening for a while! Tell us about that. How does a millennial come to be growing as an adult. grow subsistence crops corn I had that as a background as a child the thing I liked to do with my free time was hangout out in the garden and in the backyard When I moved to Pittsburgh to go to school I missed it. As soon as I could I got gardening again gardens a couple of years then got a couple of urban community gardens growing At some point, I remember working at a grocery store not being very satisfied with my life.  I’ve always been into homesteading and wanted to grow all your own food and preserve it decided to try to work on a farm so I quit my job and got a job on a farm in central PA been doing that every sense big step from gardening to working on a 6 acre vegetable farm what I wanted to do love watching the plants grow and being able to take it back and cook with it worked on farms start my first farm in 2012 had an urban farm with a couple of friends in the city and did that for a year some one had an urban farm hadn’t been used in a bit. They weren’t using Got a start out there after that season I was sold on it. Later started a bigger farm equipment great way to get a taste of doing our own thing after that season sold did that for a couple of years I know my listeners are wondering, our goal is to grow enough food for...

The world is changing so quickly that talking about the pace of change is starting to feel a bit clichéd. We measure optimisation and innovation by software updates, not generations. This allows us to customise our lives to a great degree. From time to time we need to check whether rules of thumb of previous generations still apply to the world as it looks at the moment. Most of the time, large systems and institutions struggle to keep up with how quickly the world changes. One improvement often allows for improvements in other fields. In this episode we continue to discuss how we can think differently about retirement. We talk about why it's important to shift our focus from retirement age to financial independence. We also dream about different ways to think about tax. If you're new, this episode might feel a bit too hardcore for you. Feel free to start with one that's more relatable.

Win of the week: Slade Imagine SARS offered a scheme whereby a taxpayer could invest as much money as they wanted into the markets and enjoy all the profits and dividends tax free, but upon death all remaining assets would be left to SARS?     Of course there would be finer details to work out like: Does it all go to the remaining spouse until their death then to SARS? Or 50% to SARS and 50% to remaining spouse? For those without children or suitable heirs, it would be a great option to unlock the value in the assets that we inevitably can't take with us.   Stephen I want to minimise the drawdown on equities during a recession. My question is, how best could this be tackled? Would I need two Living Annuities or are there products out there that would do this for me? I know I could opt for the ABSA Volatility ETFs but I want the pure offshore exposure. John When you invest in an RA, you are really buying a pension. I know you can take up to one third in cash BUT with the other two thirds, you still have to buy a pension! At what point over the age of 55 do you take your pension. I suggest when your payout equates to R195,850 p.a (before tax) or R16,320 per month (before tax). After tax is becomes R13,385 per month. One (under 65 years) can earn up to R75,750 and not pay tax, but above this amount one pays tax at the rate of 18% up to R195,750. Above this amount the next tax bracket is 26% (way too high). If you are under 55, monitor the tax tables to find the revised numbers for when you reach 55. If you own a pension you will pay tax so keep the tax as low as possible. Have enough cash to give you R23,800 interest per year, because that's the amount of tax-free interest you can earn. At this point you have a virtually certain monthly salary of R15,365 after tax. ( R13,385+R1,980) If your dividend yield is 2.4% after tax you earn R2,000 per month for every R1m invested. For CGT - If like Simon you are not going to leave anything behind, cash in R40,000 p.a or another R3,330 per month.  Hey! now if you need even more money your CGT is around 11%. TFSA - the last place to fleece money and it's tax free. It is as important to have a budget and know and control your spending as it is to invest. When amounts from points 1-5 exceed expenses, financial independence happens. ( If you are cautious add an extra 25%) Lastly, when you reach FI you don't have to RE but you do have the choice on what to do. Santosh I finally scheduled a meeting with 10X, following your show's continual compliments on their products, fees and market approach. I had expected a "hard sell", but was pleasantly surprised when the consensus was "stick with what you're doing, no need to move". This shows true integrity from both the advisor and 10X. While we are not doing business currently, it has given me the confidence to keep 10X as one of my top two choices if ever the need to appoint a product and service provider in the future. Bonolo I live with my parents and I am a field worker. They live in the townships of Pretoria north and I work in Pretoria East, Centurion and Mpumalanga (once a month). I had an original plan of saving up the money I have left and the incentives I get quarterly in a money market fund until I am 30 years old. I've estimated that I'll be able to buy a townhouse cash or at least have 70%-80% deposit. I work in a very high stress job and unstable in terms of employment, so that's why don't see myself paying for a house longer than five years. I could rent but I am also a firm follower of retiring early so I MUST have a home when the time to retire (early) comes and renting doesn't satisfy that part of the plan. I also wanna chuck the money I have left over in index funds and figure my shit out when I am 30, but I don't want to feel like I am watching paint dry. I know there will be a time I'll certainly break because it would feel like I am doing nothing with my life. Also, I don't think I want to live with my folks (they are really cool roomies) that long. Do you think I can retire on just my provident and tfsa at age 45? Should I focus the money I have left over on getting shelter and invest the extra money after sorting out a fully paid shelter?

Find your voice - Episode 9 -"We came with a suitcase & a dream" - TTagline: "We came with a suitcase & a dream"Uplifted from Zimbabwe T and his family chased the American Dream for a better future.T puts this perfectly when he explains the silent example he learnt from his parents to be a driving force in his life - hard work. Coming from extremely humble beginnings T knew his best chance at changing his own future and that of his families would be to work harder than those around him.Unable to speak english and ridiculed early on by children and undervalued by teachers T began to embrace hard work and the struggle finding true beauty in outworking those around him.Now a successful social worker, bodybuilder and an all round great guy T's future is brighter than ever as he seeks to help inspire others and teach them to never let anyone elses opinions dictate their ceilings of success and to always embrace hard work.T also speaks of the oppresive lifestyle he was part of growing up and the struggles of learning a new culture, language and fitting into society. However having studied closely with T for 2 years there are very few more genuine souls I have come across.I urge you all to support and follow his journey...Thanks for listeningFree Audible book sign up:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Audible-Membership/dp/B00OPA2XFG?actionCode=AMN30DFT1Bk06604291990WX&tag=are86-21Best book on Mindset by Carol Dweck: Mindset https://amzn.to/2QajMvZSupport the podcast: https://www.patreon.com/findyourvoiceLinks to me:Website: https://www.arendeu.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/aren.deu/Twitter: https://twitter.com/arendeuFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/aren.singhLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aren-deu-65443a4b/Podcast: https://www.findyourvoicepodcast.com YouTube: http://tiny.cc/51lx6yLinks to guest:Snapchat: CatchafreemanInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/passion4lifting/Transcript:[Music]welcome to an episode of find your voicea movement led by yours trulyAren do a guy who has overcomecrippling anxiety adversity anddifficulty like so many of you in lifewhose main goal now is to help youcombat your excuses take control of yourlife write your own story and mostimportantly find your voice so nowwithout further ado I welcome the hostof the show himself mr.

IND thinkingme you know I don't usually speak I'mnot so good at speaking but I know theend of this if I can inspire this oneperson great that's my job here done andI come from very very very humblebeginnings well I say that I'm still I'mstill here humble beginnings now I'm notmade it yet but we are making progressmy parents my mom moved here in 2003beans involved in bad way yes yes andyou know we came here okay with asuitcase and a dream it was a case ofthe economy was on see a great overthere so before you know I yeah what'sthe next big thing and you know this wasthis was their two children at the timeand like most people I found out foundout that working hard was the way totheir you know American dream so tospeak yeah yeah anyone can sayabsolutely um you know the first lessonsthat I want C to share with you guyssome of the islands from a parentshadn't moved here is that you knowyou've gotta work hard you have to workcuz I grew up in a house where you knowI was watching my parents work day inday our worst and continue to work hardday and night to make sure that me andmy sister would not go with the help youknow they were breaking their backs andfreed out I said I had a front row seatin learning you know a hard work I waslike takes yeah you know start from thebottomremember back home there had reallyprestigious jobs but the KVN had tostart from the bottom literally start atthe foundation level okay okay so can Ijust jump in there so yeah back home youhad prestigious jobs was it still notenough in order to fulfill the dreamsthat they had I'm glad to think thatthey probably did it with us in mindokay because the way that the fins wouldgo in I reckon if they continued workingthings would have been okay for them butthen by the time you came to us growingup and working things might not be sogood for us you know something they hadus in mind to build our futures becausewe were gonna have better opportunitiesthat make sense here and you know somepeople choose that's why you see there'sso many people now I'll try that riskingtheir lives day in day out trying to getto the UK or you know these thedifferent countries in the West cuzopportunities are there that's been athome yeah we don't know how lucky we aresometimes we don't and we take thingsfor granted even take things for grantedso it's so easy wake up sahaja lotta Gbut there's someone diapers opportunitythat we wake up every day as well youknow wake up every day dream someone'sdying for this you know yeah we're moreabout our jobs and what we spoke aboutis actually yeah and it's that thing ofwe take things for granted man you knowanyway I digressI'm saying I had a front-row seatwatching what it really takes to be ableto drive but you want an understandingfundamental that in this country you cangive anything you wanted if and only ifyou're willing to make the sacrificesand pull your socks up like I saidpeople are risking their lives trying tosneak and use the abundance ofopportunities that were presented withso the lesson I want to convey to youguys today is that there's nothing morepowerful than that Silas example and forme that sounds example was my parentsthey never told me that you know when wecame here absolutely this is whatyesterday we were just watching yeah Ijust had to watch all thinking okay youknow yeah weekend that is working in mymom is working you know we're justwatching that work as powerfulthere's a quote and I think it saysdon't listen to what they say watch whatthey do and that's what it is and that'swith anything in mind because you get alot of people are just talking the talkand stuffsounds great we really if it soundsbefore the action yeah it's the actionthey can talk it you know gay men butwhen it comes to doing it's a differentstory and for me from that is where Ilearned that parents as parents and myparents yeah but as parents be afraid tolet your kids watch you fail or watchyou start from the bottom and watch yousweat cause we taking inspiration comesevery day we learn Oh strong strong workethic I think that's I think that's apowerful lesson because one of them likeI said to a lot of people my superpowerI believe everyone's got a super fine Iuse that as an analogy or metaphor is Ijust work hard that's itI don't have anything else good I'm notnaturally more talented at somethingelse but I will most likely I work mostpeople because I've seen my mom do itI've seen her with 90 hours a week whenwe were growing up I used to see heraround I'm thinking where's momand it should come from breakage thatgetting changed into our next - she'sback after work yeah and I'm not talkingabout later I'm talking Saturday SundayI'm talking in the six weeks holidays Ithink that's really important I think weshould set an example of the real lifeand not trying to hide things for mykids that's it in order to try andprotect them because actually you couldactually giving them a good thingthere's no such thing as an overnightsensation no such being people you haveto work you know some people are luckyenough to be born in rich families andwhatnot but majority of us we have towork her way upmm-hmm and for me I'd like to say that'sprobably one of the best solid examplesof my life and that's made me who I amtoday because it's me you know yeah I'mnot gonna be product of my circumstancesand I'm gonna be so the master of mydestiny I'm saying that now but backthen it was not like that in the sensorfor example you know when I first camehere I came when I was about 10 yearsold started in year six I'm going toschool not knowing English that wellbecause English is the second languageokay but we do not have to speak it atmuch because we don't need sing ofcourse you know we just have good lessonEnglish enoughso came here and yes 6 min imagine youknow trying to learn English we werepretty much I remember going to schooland those big clumps of bacon and thenthe cheap of the cheaper version is thecheap version because it's not littlethin slices we employ us how would youwant that was a big chunk you say seelaughter retired my gosh but it'sbrilliant because again this is what itwas my character the clumps of bacon youknow wake up in the morning she madebacktry as possible wait you could imagineit was not easy trying sliced bacon asyou put it on that sound good share I'llget to school so I said I do not knowsome of the things that were deemed tobe normal in this country sometimesfrowned uponyeah so break time think I'm a baconsandwich you know remember I rememberhim to Clete onto the bread so hard toprevent the whole me good biteyou know yeah I remember sometimes we'dhave pizza it would have Pete certainlyand I'll bring they left all this nicebox at my Lodge for school Broco Pizzahe and I did not know that this was notthe into the normal button but you knowit was tough for my sisters there shewas younger she started by ryaba starsquare one she couldn't speak that couldbe English as well so we kind of justhave each other have to try and you knowI remember sister go home she'll betrying to read a book to try and learnyou know English I should be holdingthat book upside down you know you juststart I would love a cokebacon sandwich for those kids don'tlisten Island kids kids are cruel yeahyou know meals kids are cruel that's whythere's so much bullying in school rightnow it's only now right now oh no waitif I have to you know go to work withthis is all right this is okay cuz now Idon't put down anyone's approval I'm inthat stage now where certain people'sopinion if it's not constructive itdoesn't bother memoving on then we went to secondaryschool obviously were picking up Englishyou know it's improving improving thelanguage just getting back there so weget to school yeah do the sets in younine I did okay consideringyeah ten will do GCSEs okay no yes Iwill do you mock GCSE means encore theseare marks and - seriouslyBastille did well in them then Iremember there was one Paris eveninggoes one parents evening news in theirparents evening actually my parents werecold from school and the teacher saidcan you kiss community discussion yourson is underachievementright okay like I told your son ispredicted to come by the end of GCSE isto come out with four C's with thiscoming from you know I'm doing well inessence I'm always you know and canimagine you know in my house we'd sayeducation very seriously and it's notjust my house is probably across themost African families most Africancountries cause in Africa education isnot free you know here privilege is aprivilege is a privilege that manycannot afford I rememberat home kids will be sent out fromclassical definitely see theHeadmaster's office or go home if you'venot paid the school fees cause somepeople simply couldn't afford so youcoverton so imagine you come into thiscountry metal education is free andyou're messing about yeah you're nottaking advantage of the opportunity thatis presented to you witness others athome or dying for this opportunity andwhen if they are to get it they wouldflourish in you know you know can weimagine they were really disappointeddo not happy it was a case right you'remixing about you don't take a schooleducation seriously from now on there'llbe no going out no playing out if youwere to play outside you know I wasacting all playing out during the weekanyway I was very impressive on theweekendsI was allowed out on mainly just theSaturday if his Sunday so a couple ofhouse I was allowed on Saturday butbefore I did that I had to do you knowthose PGCC books yeah I had to docertain number of pages of them before Icould go out and I had to get it rightand I used to think why they doing thisto me why me you know all my friends athelp then when I did go out I don't haveto care if you have to be 4i either sixor seven even some other stars blazinghot at 7:00 p.m. you have to be able toseven I don't think it's himself why arethey doing this to me why me you know Iused to moan about it wasn't impressedbut then it's funny now when I go backbecause obviously at that age you knowmore than your parents don't you anotherthing that you know yeah but what I dothere now and the kind of people thatwere staying out so midnight what theywere doing to midnight I'm not comparingmyself to them I'm just saying I'm gladthat my parents did that I'm glad thatthey did that for me becauseso for me as well if I was one of themkids someone invited prison some of themare just doing all kinds of business youknow anyway absolutely predictions Ithink that is an important point thoughthat we should stress because I was thesame so I went to tip it up which iswhere you live now I think I still livethere and I had like best friends andyou think you never gonna get friendsbetter than this and I want to go toThibodeau comp and at that time I wasdoing well academically so my parentswere like okay we're gonna send you togrammar school the helis grammar schoolthen I found out he was all-boys schoolbut that way he's going through pubertyexciting to find the opposite sexattractive and I was like here I go toan all-boys school and I went and Iresented it I resented the decision forages I'm gonna hate it but in hindsightsimilarly yourself now that got me intoa very good university even what mygrades weren't great because I had thatmy CV it also taught me a lot about howyou should conduct yourself in certainsituations not all of it was positivebut also been there I've got some of mybest friends and I'm talking aboutfriends you on the right side of the lawokay when I look back at if I'd runtv.com and I look at my friends therethere were stabbings there was prisonthere was drugs with the community thatI grew up with so I don't know would Ihave been brave enough with and steppingaway from friends who have grown up withor what I've just got involved in that Idon't know we'll never know but I'm kindof grateful that I went my way and lifehas brought me here so yeah Paris Ithink they always try to do the bestthat they know but at that time youdon't see oh man angry I mean they nevereven played football there and as a kidI was like a hotshot footballerapparently and I've got to defeat everyall my dreams I'm kind of crushed inthat moment yeah but then also somewonderful thing and now I kind of thinkyou know what actually my life isn't toobad and I suppose it's perspective andit's a age and as you grow you can youcan spin anything I suppose in a goodway that's and yeah sorry continuewell in that sense I think it man soclose so close you know we are ta 11 wedo GCSEs I come out with two A's B's andC's yeah I don't know how much that Ihad to do with all the extra homeworkthat I had to do because of that meetingbeing cold but I saw so smug towards myteachers thinking oh okay there's yourfour C's you know we came from Revere ohyeah yeah you know that figure ofputting their limitations orexpectations on me you know not pickingI love me yes okay great this was it forme I think actually today today bestachievement I worked hard for thatplease repeat in a school of how manypeople to be the top and you know beanother one from where you start exactlythat's the thing as well Stan journeyknowing you know came here barely beingable to speak a word of English and nowhere I am being told you're the examplestudent you know that was big for me andthat's why to this day is still one ofour biggest achievementsthat we call to college to a-levelsdoing a-levels breaking those I don'tknow teacher see you because doing thehub behaves on son who's come a bit of ajoker yeah sometimes I like to say ajoke sometimes might be inappropriatetimes when I like to crack a joke aboutthis has been interviews where they'regoing to just cracking jokes yeahprobably cause ya know the swamp andsemen college where my mom comes infriends dad came in as well and Iremember as we're going out he was goingout my mom was coming in so I'm stillmom kind of knew what to expectyeah and in there it was some kind ofexactly what the predictions were but itwas no great

want is worse that I got me man yeahdisappointment is worse than that guyI'll probably get shouted midair don'tgets around disappoints in the human soI was thinking some stuff okay so I hadto pay for the reasons are my own moneythen resutsI go in a b c in the receipts in thesummer which was great because wafflewas a leg was really the same as he saidJesus is we can revise two weeks beforeGeorge I know Chauncey and so I learnedthe hard way I'm sort of sure in the endI got a BBC fantastically end of the ADAwas which was great which can set me onthe path to unique University and I wentto university went to Manchester did myfirst degreeyou've Community development's it wasgreatenjoyed it then I went on to do somework related to that words and fate ofpeoplemmm-hmm and it was basically aorganization which would be young peoplewho were born HIV and I would like tosay that it's probably the best thingI've ever done in my life imagined jobwise and satisfaction wise cuz you knowyou're making that positive impact onpeople's lives and having said that youknow I am gonna keep jumping back andforth wine yeah I know that start thepodcast was all discussed growing up inthe house were you watching peopleworking hard know what we know this jobin age of fourteen I remember it was apaper round for the local newspaper inthe area and it was about 350 newspapersevery Thursday in November I wake upfirst thing in the morning Wednesdaynightsfirst thing first day morning do about150 use maple before going to schoolcome back get rid of schoolgo to school come back home till eventhe rest of the newspaper sometimes yousaw spit into the Friday as welldepending on how fast there wasn't onenothing and again it was that thing oftrying to get that good work ethicinstilled in me from a young age as wellso once I was you know in college I wasworking as well yeah I was working themin has to be like you know you do themath I was pissed at it see then when Imoved to Manchester also a conventionsee like I do that by state authoritiesgonna work like Clark's and I moved backhome yeah because the other guys I wasworking for they lost their funding andthey had to close down and I'm thinkingman was next because I've got thisdegree but I know that the job prospectsare not great a ride wasn't Mickey Mousedegree and I think you know go back I'mone I've done the same onemaybe frequently that prospectus was abig t fast yeah you know he's just acase of Social Work socialized the nextthing for me that's what and that's whatwe met that's what we meantI remember the first time I see thisSocial Work and being in social workerswere working in and it was back then andI remember it was a case of alsodifferent different environments andthey you need to remember you workingtogether differently when I did myundergraduate it was a case yeah yeahhere the Masters is the case of yourhelp me help youof course and I think I've seen more usis amol that's the big man that's thebig and it was a case of my it was notjust asked he was pretty much the wholebrain sleep everyone just worked so wellto confessand we try to make sure that if someonedid not was not doing so well we try topull them up why didn't his doing thisyou know centrist instead of myosinpowerful is this you know yeah who'sgreat and again it's that thing of forme that's where I experienced real trustI mention your colleagues because I'venot known anything like that before Ithink I'm the same but then there's afew things that that one age willprobably or everyone's had a degreebefore so you wise up a little bit but Ithink also it's a testament that peopleare going to become social workersbecause you guys who are keep in touchwith here and there through that what'sup yourself a little bit more to be asocial worker wanna become a socialworker you've got to be a different kindof person I believe you've gotta havethat level there's gonna be something inyour heart that makes you want to helppeople so the reason you will start thatjourney together was we want you to bethe best I'm socially in the world andchange the world so if we call after ourpeers who are on the same path as usthen that's saying something about yourpersonality and there's nobody on thatcourse I can think of who did that weall literally just held each other upsomebody would tell me what my choicelike come along with me and I love thatcommunity like so yeah you know I havingsaid that you having said that you knowyou said you have to be same kind ofperson to be a social would you besurprised you know bro really there'ssome people that you see I don't thinkit wait you know you'd agree yeaheveryone was great I'm sure thateveryone was great as well as you think[Music]but then when you get in the job thereare some people that you think wherewere you and the cool so becomedesensitized orHuracan people do become desensitizedand sometimes i know that we found thisout that the job is not what we expectedit to be yeah so I think that's probablywhy some people serve turn out to be acertain way whilst on the jobyeah um you know we do the masters andnow you know I'm I'm working the jobworking the job and it's going okaybasically from my story in main thingthe hours of convey is their thing ofother people's expectationsdo not let people's expectations of yourother people's limitations in you becomeyour reality doctor so you know ifsomeone's a sense EE you know yeah youdo so well I don't think you're gonna beable to do this you know that's theirexpectations that doesn't mean it has totranspire it to you absolutelyand sadly it does sadly in some cases itdoes cause a self-fulfilling prophecyyeah if you didn't shout that the badbelievin that they're bad you knowthey'll probably start behaving it'sthat feeling of staying in your own laneI think that's really important people'sopinions they're all facts it's justtheir belief and again their beliefisn't the truth is their truth it's notin fact and I think I've learned thatthe hard way because a lot of stuff I'vebought off for trying to do was based onother people's opinions and I just thinknow the most important opinion is theopinion of myself I mean in movie youhave to it sounds it sounds weird as agrown man and he stays thinking I needto start to look at myself I need tostart valuing myself because somewherealong the journey I stopped doing thatand the way I would I suppose look atmyself what I do myself was based on theopinion of other people whereas now it'slike each Australian if there's a fewpeople in my life who their opinionconcerns me because I respect them and Iwant them to think that I'm doing a goodthing but other than that it's reallyabout myself and that's why we touchedon prior to this episode time why'd youstop that self-talk every morning andhave you stuff that empowers me ratherthan brings me down because a lot of usthumpings get out it wasn't actuallymyself it was the opinions of othersthat I would repeat to myself and say Imust be sure I must be anxious I mustnot be strong enough for must not begood enoughthat's a is the mind is so powerful so Ithink one of the things I want to tryand be with this podcast is always tryand get into younger heads so they don'tgo through that exactly he reallyswitched them young because we instillthat mind saying them from a young ageisn't it yeah definitely you know andit's not thinking of mom always saysdon't let your feet go cold what shewasn't someone else is great I love thatyou know love it and it's not be enoughfor example right now the time is whattime is it11:14 11:40 11:40 in Zim it is 140 okayit's 114 thing right now does that meanthat we're slower then we're not we'rein a different time zone we're notslower than them you know and I said soright you know someone graduated yeahand they just wanted see or wait fiveyears before securing a good job andsomeone became a CEO at the age of 25but died at the age of 50 while someoneelse became a CEO and the age of 50 andleave till they were nine see Obamaretired as president at the age of 55don't know Trump became president at theage of 70 you know so everyone's intheir own time zone and people aroundyou they might seem like they I had afew or some be behind you but everyone'srunning the old race in their own timeso think of not being I just want topoint out quickly for the podcast he'sreading white Instagram right man yaknow but it makes so much sense which iswhy we get along we think the same kindof things so I'm sure your remains to us[Laughter]it's the truth but the problems withsociety in like social media and stuffis we are that in our food go cold Isuppose if you use that because we wantyou cuz we're watching as a people I'mnot gonna sit here and say I don't dothat myself I'm conscious that it's notthe right thing to do six out of theseven days a weekI don't do it but there are some dayswhen you get frustrated cuz you know youwant to be there but then is that thingabout trust in the process and we'reboth average gym goerswe know what it's like to Broadway toadd strength to lose weight and stuffand we know it's a process thing so sothat's really importantor what I switch gears just a little bitwe want to one of the next questionwhich is about routine now I alwaysbelieve whereproduct of our habits and the things wetell ourselves and I think I know myselfpersonally but my routines on point mydays are on point and my goals and whatprogression it moves forward but whenit's not it's completely off so I'mgonna know is what's your kind of dailyroutine that you do now having learnedall the lessons that you've had it sincecoming from Zimbabwe to England andgoing through school and then throughyour social work where you probably seemore stuff than most people what's kindof like your daily routine that keepsyou going okay wake uppeople myself all been just now jokingright so obviously get on the treadmillstraightaway I get 45 minutesfrosted coffee or show a beauty showcoming up in about nine weeks where isthat show they'll be a staff to shareokay in Staffordshire then there'll beanother one two weeks after that instaffing shared stuff and I'm not onepotentially after my Scotland you loveit yeah so at the moment I wake up to gofasted cardio get in the shower thenhave my breakfast and only just you knowbreakfast I can have one to go on my wayto workI'm going to work and probably listen tosongs because before he used to itsounds like the radio and then I realizethat all the stars radio presenters theyirritate mebecause I know guys their job or thechild or the rubbish yeah and most of itis lies but that's what I have to do istheir job isn't it so there is anythingthat's fine it's on the plate presentersare talking I just feature a differentstation with a drink and song at thattime I listen to radio for one now butnow I listen to something quitemotivational you know there's so manymotivational things that you finallyachieve and it takes me not too long toget to work so I put that day's work isfinished and it's just climbed a littlesomething in my mind I've learnedsomething from thatOh do and I get to work do I need to dowhilst at work you know how I can officewhere people are always bringing cakesmy songs for breakfast and all thisdifference and you know the donor so nowand then and I'm they even have a littlelunch boxes lunches you can have someyou're gonna have some you know and nownobody even seems like a drink a cup oftea they don't ask me for one becausethey know that I'm not gonna have onedrink or take and condos weight so I canteens tell me why I don't think intoidea how they're gonna say if you don'tknow cause I've had these conversationswith my colleagues about you know havingthe discipline to discipline and if youare not there wish I was like you but hecan be only yesterday miss get right upin the end until you get there you'renot gonna be able to see it starts hereit starts it starts all starts in thehead do memory right you can't youactually can't and that's what I believeI don't believe that you can't so youcan't you're not there until you believeyou can yeah anyway then of course thegym after work I destroy my work out asmuch as I cango home and have a meal do it be areading after that cuz I've got abouttwo hours to find start getting readyfor bed and have my last meal and go tobed okay that's a typical day and for medon't get me wrong I work a stressfuljob about something I think I think thatsometimes it's the stress would you makeit I'm not really a stress the stress Tperson like that so for me I always tryto remain calm stay chilled andsometimes the people that you know doyou ever like strength unlike what'sthat gonna helpit's not gonna help me isn't Americanthings better it's not then I go see thegym me in the gym is a space where I canshut down you know just focus on why isit fun to meyeah it's a place for me there's timesthat I going what gym about six times aweekI don't want it went you know about sixtimes a week but now is the case ofdiscipline I'm just I'm there whether Iwant to or thatdo I wanna wake up frustrated with myclothes every dayI don't want to see what I have to do Ido because I have seen you know peoplesaying are jungian up dry chicken outdry chicken and veg again how do youenjoy it I'm gonna enjoy I don't mean toenjoy because nobody needs ityeah it's about why I enjoy oh you canseason your chicken me you cannotconsistently so why don't you need toenjoy it so have it yeah that's one thatI like that and the great thing aboutthat is it's transferable by anything oranything because for me I've nevercompeted before these were firstbodybuilding competitions you know andnothing to myself rightit's that pinnacle before I used to goJim it's just real weight you know tryand lift as heavy as I can they camepretty strong but then what's next youknow cuz I catch a point in the gym Ithink

it and it's something I'vealways wanted to do ok right this yearI'm gonna compete this you know is thevery first of December no sir right thisyear I'm gonna compete that racismnothing's happening so sometimes youneed to take action absolutelyabsolutelywhen it comes to do it that's a wholedifferent story some people some peoplefeel like they're doing push-ups oh theygetting bigger by just talking about itoh yeah it's all pumped up the momentand listen to motivational thing andthey're feeling grateful oh but 30minutes per month okay now you're gonnawork and that work there and whatever itis in life so say for instance if youuse my property for example a lot of thestuff I do in this job it's not greatand sometimes people will look at itfrom from their perspective and think ohyou've got the life you can work withyou on that listen when I accept my dayI hate doing these tasks but I have todo it just in order to get my freedomdiscipline equals freedom basicallythat's how I see itsame with the gym so I'll get the smirkremarkso you're always in the gym you'readdicted to the gym first I used to getmy back up a little bit because I didn'twant to be that guy but I'm like okaythat's fineI'd rather be addicted to that then atthe same time similar to your son yesI'd say three or four times a week Ireally want to get to the gym becauseyou just you feel good you feel greatthe other times and what I'm doingsometimes I do to workout today as wellI don't wanna be there but I have to bethen I convince myself and I starttalking the struggle I go through my ownhead to get myself to the gym thatmorning is tough but it has to bedonated to become he's so happy now he'slike it's like when I breathe or when Ieat and drink it's just part of it thisis second natureyeah everyone should do that becauselike we said it's all transferrable intoanything if I can myself up my comfortzone every single day and do that andthen do that with other tasks in my lifeI either private casting ie my propertyor my coaching or whatever then slowlylike with a gym progress it's gonnastart happening isn't ityou gotta start reaching them and lookdoing things such as a meal prep I'venever used a real prayer never use themeal prep and you know the whole resultshave been working our fancy KFC KFC KFCof course I why do I do thatdodge it corny ammonia sometimes all myeat lunch and by the time just beforeeating I'll be starving and I'll havewiping stuck in order Big John'sastray if I were to be John's then goJesus laughter you cannot I work aboutdiet and stuff Engels now I could takesome 2,000 do four days worth of foodand I feel great yeah absolutely and nowit's a habit I believe in dreadmill prepI enjoy heat and deciphering again manmotivation that's all if I say a - timediscipline lasts forever high-degreewonder-percent I think I used to be aperson trainer not seven eight years andI'm Cocorico need to like a coachingaspect I suppose the people were so likemy property and business and stuff andone of the first things I will say topeople when they approach me or can youcoach me for a kind of ability you helpme get get over this hurdle in my lifefor example it's okay do you work out asolution one of the first questionsasked which they probably don't expectfrom the coach because I think you knowyou're gonna give me some system orsomething that you need to do forbusiness and the majority of them say noI'm like well that needs to changebecause the way I do my stuff is that'sthe first thing we look at we focusingon your health which I believe is yourbiggest well you know healthy as well asthat kind of thing and your mind gettingthat right and that's kind of how I lookat it so I think me going to the gymespecially for my boxing okay justbefore meeting you doing the Masters hasbeen one of the biggest disadvantages Ihad when I went to this property game inthis business game because I was like Ijust take that work ethic where I was iworking everyone in the gym and i justbring it into yeah okay i don't know asmuch about property or business as mostpeople but most people start work aboutknowing they work to about half i forexample you have about an hour and ahalf at the dick you know for lunch thenlooking at YouTube videos half waythrough if I just wake up seven eighto'clock but I don't have all that timeand I just work till seven eight o'clockat night very very quickly over a coupleyears I'll call back up if that makesany sense that's kind of what I've doneit that of course yeah okay fantastic sowhat is your biggest fear why is mybiggest fear okay um my biggest fear isI would say to not be able to keep myfamily they deserve what would change intheir day to day would it be that youwant to retire them from work or sendthem on a holiday I mean what kind ofthings in what will change them and thenmoments wake up to what's work thatwould be the main thing the choice didyou have the choice if they do choose togo to work is our choice as long as theyhave to yeah and at the moment is thecase of the clock see I thinks it's cuzknow we spend a lot of our time I workmore about time get home everyone'stired or we the good gets a bed that'syour neo Cynthia as you know spend asmuch time as you deal with them as youdo at work absolutelyfor me I would like for my family to theOpera Z what's the spin because that'sthat's invaluable man thing is for us tospend more time together spend more timedoing something that it does not reallybenefit us you know the initial initialamount of time that it got its that's mybiggest worry cuz it's not for you knowcritics life is a predictoryou know things happen day in day outactually I've seen this call he saidthat we who die while still alive youknow you don't expect it to happen whilethings happen and for me out of reallydisappointed if I if something any fixthat happened and I'm not being able togive my family the life that theydeservethat's what my biggest fear okay goodanswer good answerokay so the next question is aboutmotivation I'd be lying I suppose if Isaid there was a days where I struggledto keep myself away I think I've touchedon this earlier you know gym stuffand I'm pretty soon yourself had thosedays as well I've yet to meet anybodywho doesn't need some level ofmotivation or something that just keepson going on the days where they justdon't feel like doing it so I want toknow is on those days where you feellike maybe you're in a funk or yourmotivations gone and then he's just notclicking in your head and you don't wantto go to the gym I know we touch ondiscipline for example or you don't wantto go to it what is driving you on thatparticular day okay I always think thatsomeone else is working harder that's meby the way up in smoke okay if we are tobelieve this you know the competition'sthat I'm gonna do like I said I don'twanna go to gym every day but I dosometimes I'm in the gym I'm gonnahundred percent I still give iteverything that came on that day yeahyou know I'll finish myself I want to bestanding on that stage and if I've lostit's my cause I worked refused yeah Iwant to lose with my head held highokay there's nothing more that Icould've actually given me okay that'swhat motivates me I don't understandtheir thinking and if I want to thinkthat one day that's gonna be that we maylive so stop being of no wanting to beoutworked it's okay yeah you're gonnalose okay we lose it but do not losecause I do not get oh yeah you knowthat's Jim late but I'm Garcialife in general I just touched up on myknees that like they don't give for myfamilyyes that's what motivates me to stopbeing of man you can't afford to letthat grip slippushy and you know I'm always to youmore the fact that they're waking up agoal to work that day when that day thewake nuts got to work clay yeah that'sthat's my motivation desperate like theyhave to wake up for where that baby thatyou have that makes sure you don't hitthat seems but exactly can I hear thatbecause I understand me my wife youwhile I went on this journey where I wasself-employed and not really normally Iwas literally carrying I had this muchmoney to spare another I need to getremember me I need to pay for a coffeeany I was working my pennies out in abootstrapping but the thing that wouldalways get me out of bed was and I wasput my alarm I just put on for my wifeyeah so I'm like she's haven't talked towork to support this I mean and thatused to keep me going every single daythat's so I hear that okay okay so nowyou've heard the buzzer has just goneoff and we're at the fun part of theshow where I'm gonna put you throughyour paces now the beautiful thing aboutthis is T doesn't know any of thequestions I'm gonna ask him so what I'mgonna do is I'm gonna set the timer for60 seconds okay so we're going to startin three two onethe ability to fly or be invisible rightmoney your fame money Ronnie Coleman orAuto Show Sega on favorite protein shapeflavor banana singing or

reflection so hi insidesome wonderful thing and upon reflectionwe can always think of ways to get towhere we currently are quicker easier orwith less heartache but I also guess thejourney teaches us a lot as well I'm astrong believer in trusting the processand enjoying the process so what I wantto know is if you could go back in timeto that one moment where you reallystruggled and suffered with theadversity so if you use the universityexample and you can just whispersomething in the air of a younger Tknowing what you know now what would youtell yourself when I tell myself beproactiveno one's gonna keep this to you you cando thisno one can race you come on your waysfor you you're gonna do but in so we areactually at the last question then if ina hundred and fifty years time sciencefails to save all of us we're no longerhere and well that exists is a book onthe life of T by the way you can chooseup for the title and on that book it'sit can be as big as you want butsomebody's walking past what will makethat person pick it up right so what Iwant to know is what would the blue sayand what would the total of that booksay about you okay okay something GodseyI mean that I'm always there so someonewho just worked hard to chase theAmerican dream for their family justfinally in Americayeah people's attention but that it'struly the only company okay title titlethe British dream says a guy

this Inever knew myself so it's it's beeninspiring for myself to hear thisespecially when I sit back and I thinkabout when we were doing coursework andI used to struggle with the EnglishEnglish

Do you want to be happy, joyful, at peace? I can’t imagine anyone would say no. But as a human we generally look to our circumstances to provide these things. Something else is being...resilient...meaning ‘able to withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions’? So in this show we get to what I’m tempted to label a root issue of our personal performance, but that doesn’t feel like it does us justice. It’s Our very selves, our joy, our peace, our very lives. Rick Hanson is a psychologist whose focus is neuroscience. He wrote the book “Hardwiring Happiness” that my business partner who is an MD, said I MUST read. I went to buy the book and saw he had a new book, “Resilient” - How To Grow An Unshakable Core Of Calm, Strength, and HappinessNow folks, this isn’t about merely “feeling good”. You can get a temporary feel good from many things, as i mentioned before...circumstances. But We’re talking the foundation of ourselves. Being Calm in any situation, strong overall, and having true, enduring happiness. Those are not easy things to attain, and few truly have. All you strive for, every day, is for an ultimate goal. What is it? To be miserable, or happy and joyful? To be stressed out and worried, or at peace? So this is not theory, it comes from Rick’s research. It is an eye-opening, profound conversation. Quick background on Rick Hanson, he’s a Ph.D., a psychologist, Senior Fellow of the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley, and New York Times best-selling author. His books are available in 28 languages and include Resilient, Hardwiring Happiness, Buddha’s Brain, Just One Thing, and Mother Nurture.He’s founder of the Wellspring Institute for Neuroscience and Contemplative Wisdom. In 2016 he gave a keynote address at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Association.You can find Rick’s books at.rickhanson.net/ , but if you are as intrigued by what you hear as I believe you will be, I encourage you to go to thefoundationsofwellbeing.com/ where you can literally engage with Rick’s methodology and neuroscience.

Strength Level: The Spooky Werewolf Megan Shung is here! O, Megan Shung is here! Don’t be afraid of ghosts, cuz Megan Shung is here! (Sing that last bit and you’ll feel more brave during this spooky month) But besides singing about it, I MUST tell you how excited I am about this week’s guest! Megan Shung is a multi-talent, LA based violinist/composer/performer, and you’ll wanna know all about her. Another founding member of Iridas (the group she is in with past guests, Mikala Schmitz and Matt Smith), Megan has so much going on in LA, and is not only someone you should seek out immediately, but also someone who is here this week to help my listener’s realize that October can be fun too. Not JUST scary. After you’ve listened to this episode, and immediately gone and written a review for the podcast, GO FOLLOW Megan (@meganshungviolin) and Iridas (@iridasmusic) on all the Social Medias immediately!!!!!!! OUR PERSONAL THOUGHTS FOR YOU TODAY: I get it! I get it ok?! Halloween is coming up QUICK, and no one is feeling safe. You’re not alone in feeling so spooked that your skin fell off. NONE of us have skin at this point.

In our last +1, we talked about my mission to become a Spartan World Champion.    My heart skips a beat just typing that.   (Which, btw, is a good “reverse indicator” as my Yoda would say. Btw2: When Phil and I chatted about my contemplations about raising my standards and going all in on the Spartan mission, he told me that I MUST go for it or the Universe will fire me from my job. Laughing.)   So…   The title of that last +1 was “Becoming a Champion.” Today’s it’s called “Being a Champion.”   We’re going to talk about another coach of champions: Ben Bergeron. Ever heard of him?    If you don’t know who he is, have you ever heard of CrossFit? If you’re alive and into Optimizing, my hunch is that you almost certainly have. One more question: Ever watch the CrossFit Games where the world’s best CrossFit athletes get together and see who is “The Fittest on Earth”?    Those world-class CrossFit Games athletes are absolute BEASTS. As in: ASTONISHINGLY strong, skilled and tough.   Only 40 men and 40 women (and 40 teams) make it through the regional qualifiers to the world championships. Most of the athletes who make it there are just happy to be among the world’s best.    But a select few are there to win it. Those are the athletes Ben Bergeron coaches.   In fact, he’s coached his athletes to six world championships. In 2016 he coached BOTH the men’s champion AND the women’s champion. (Which is kinda crazy awesome when you think about it.)   All of that to say, Ben wrote a GREAT book called Chasing Excellence in which he shares his approach. We’ll chat about it a bit more in the next few +1s.   Today I want to focus on one simple point.    He and his athletes never talked about being champions. They were too focused on ACTING like a Champion NOW.   Here’s how two-time champion Katrín Davíðsdóttir puts it: “Though I moved halfway around the world with the goal of making it back to the CrossFit Games, Ben and I never actually talked about the Games. We didn’t talk about qualifying, we didn’t talk about finishing in the top ten, and we certainly didn’t talk about winning. What we did talk about was giving full effort in every single moment of every single day, and becoming the best we could possibly be.”   Today’s +1.    You may or may not have aspirations to be an “official” “champion” of anything in your life. Of course, that’s fine. (Although I’d encourage you to think for a moment about what you COULD be the absolute best in the world at Jim Collins Hedgehog Style.)   But, if you’re this far into this +1, I’m going with the assumption that you’re at least moderately committed to Optimizing. (Hah.)   So, reach over to the virtual stovetop in your mind, turn the heat up to 212 degrees, and think about YOU at your ABSOLUTE (!) BEST.   Then be that version of you Today.   Moment to moment to moment.    Put your old identity on a permanent vacation and act like a Champion.
