Podcast appearances and mentions of John A Shedd

1 Korintiërs 15:30-32 En waarom sal ons ons lewens uur na uur in gevaar stel? Dag na dag verkeer ons op die randjie van die dood. Dit is die absolute waarheid, broers en susters, net so seker as dat julle ons trots is oor wat Christus Jesus ons Here vir julle gedoen het. Verder, waarom sou ek as't ware met wilde diere in Efese geveg het as dit alles verniet was? As daar geen opwekking van die dooies is nie, “laat ons feesvier en dronk word, want môre sterf ons” (NLV) Die meeste van ons vermy gevaar. Ek praat nou nie van valskermspringers, bergklimmers en allerhande ander adrenalien-verslaafdes nie! Maar hier in die 21ste eeu smag die meeste van ons na veiligheid en gemak.Vandat ek onlangs 65 geword het, is dit ongelooflik hoe die sosiale media my peper met artikels oor wat dit verg om 'n gemaklike aftrede te hê, hoeveel geld ek sal nodig hê, watter sosiale kontakte ek moet maak, alles en nog wat oor hoe ek moet aftree. Afgesien van hoe ontstellend dit is om so deur hulle algoritmes geteiken te word, kan ek jou sê, dit is 'n ware lokval. Maar hierdie hoogs aantreklike wêreldse toevlug na veiligheid en gerief, is nie noodwendig wat God vir die res van ons tyd hier op aarde in gedagte het nie. Die apostel Paulus skryf in:1 Korintiërs 15:30-32 En waarom sal ons ons lewens uur na uur in gevaar stel? Dag na dag verkeer ons op die randjie van die dood. Dit is die absolute waarheid, broers en susters, net so seker as dat julle ons trots is oor wat Christus Jesus ons Here vir julle gedoen het. Verder, waarom sou ek as't ware met wilde diere in Efese geveg het as dit alles verniet was? As daar geen opwekking van die dooies is nie, “laat ons feesvier en dronk word, want môre sterf ons” (NLV)Jawel, miskien is ek en jy nie tot dieselfde uiterstes as die apostel Paulus geroep nie, maar terselfdertyd, soos John A Shedd, ‘n19de eeuse skrywer dit gestel het, is 'n Skip in die hawe veilig, maar dit is nie die rede waarom skepe gebou word nie.Moenie te gemaklik raak nie. God het dalk 'n ander plan.Dis sy Woord.

Full episode here.And the final clip is from Yodit Stanton – co-founder and CEO of OpenSensors which is a technology company that provides advanced data-based solutions for workplace optimisation. In this final clip from episode 24, Yodit summarises what I have heard a lot of successful founders say which is the importance of savouring the moment in the crazy, wild ride, of your startup journey. Too many of us are rushing to get to the finish line, wherever that is, without really taking in what we have achieved and why it's important. A great lesson for us all really. Full episode here. Finally, I wanted to leave you with a quote from Admiral Grace Hopper, a pioneer in computer programming as well as United States Navy admiral – it's an amended version of a quote by John A Shedd in his 1928 book, Salt from My Attic.Hopper's version reads, “A ship in port is safe, but that is not what ships are for.”I think it sums up the entrepreneurial spirit so well. Founders refuse to stay in their comfort zones – they go out and they build, despite the barriers and despite the naysayers and that's why they inspire me so.Happy International Women's Day!This special episode was hosted by me Danielle Twitter / Instagram / Newsletter  and edited by my long-time editor and project collaborator Jolin Cheng.

“it's our choices Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”   ~Albus Dumbledore   I shared with you some of the cornerstone concepts when it comes to connecting with choice. I talk about how this thought process can change the course of our direction. It will lead us to a place of power where we become the designer of our life and our actions.   I share about the importance of personal choice and how it comes from within and is not external. When used it will be a guiding light to support us on our life's journey. To always know we have the power to decide and learn from all situations. To consider the habits we have formed in our lives and to determine if they are supporting us or working against us in fulfilling our purpose. “A ship in harbour is safe – but that is not what a ships built for.” ~ John A.

Motivational quotes are everywhere: Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn. A well-crafted, well-curated quote can be incredibly powerful."You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." -- Wayne Gretzky"The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step." -- Lao Tzu"Every action you take is a vote for the person you wish to become." -- James ClearQuotes like these remind us who want to be and where we want to go. They give us hope that change is possible. They help us see beyond our current reality. They help us remember why we're doing what we're doing.Our brains love motivational quotes because they communicate a lot of information quickly, which suits our brains' hardwiring to value efficiency.But, as with anything, unless we also take steps toward what we truly want, motivational quotes are just words. And if we're not in the right mental and emotional space, or if we're not also taking actual steps toward the change we want, motivational quotes might actually make us feel worse.In this episode, I talk about using motivational quotes as a mental shortcut -- a heuristic -- to remind us in an instant of the decisions we've already made about where we're going and who we're becoming along the way.Thanks so much for tuning in. -----The following are a few more of my favorite quotes:"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." -- Maya Angelou“The emotion of fear often works overtime. Even when there is no immediate threat, our body may remain tight and on guard, our mind narrowed to focus on what might go wrong. When this happens, fear is no longer functioning to secure our survival. We are caught in the trance of fear and our moment-to-moment experience becomes bound in reactivity. We spend our time and energy defending our life rather than living it fully.” -- Tara Brach"We can make ourselves miserable or we can make ourselves strong. The amount of effort is the same." Pema Chödrön"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" -- Mary Oliver"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." -- Carl Jung "The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way." -- Marcus Aurelius"A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for." -- John A. Shedd"She stood in the storm, and when the wind did not blow her way, she adjusted her sails." -- Elizabeth Edwards------Original intro/outro music by JMW.------To learn more about what I do, my coaching philosophy and how to work with me, email me at kari@kariwatterson.com or visit my website at https://kariwatterson.com.Have an area of struggle you'd love to work through?

This week, on the Stay Hungry - Ahead of the Game podcast, Andy and Joel discuss getting out of your comfort zone. It's so important, yet such a difficult thing to overcome. “A ship is safe in harbour, but that's not what ships were built for.” - John A. Shedd, American author and professor

From time to time I think about what we're doing here at Churchville-Chili Junior High School, no not just seeing our buddies, but learning how to live. Pablo Picasso said it well, “I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.” Learning is so much about taking chances, risking looking dumb in front of your friends, family or strangers. Cynthia Heimel, in her "Lower Manhattan Survival Tactics," writes, “When in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth.” “Progress always involves risks. You can't steal second base and keep your foot on first.” said Frederick B. Wilcox. Wayne Gretzky noted, “You'll always miss 100% of the shots you don't take.” An unknown author wrote, “Many great ideas have been lost because the people who had them could not stand being laughed at.”Julia Sorel, Rosalyn Drexler's character in See How She Runs, says, “If you're never scared or embarrassed or hurt, it means you never take any chances.” It will be scary sometimes, taking chances, but once you get used to it, you'll understand you were made to try new things.John A Shedd got it right when he said, “A ship in harbor is safe - but that is not what ships are for.”

What Would You Do If You Knew You Could't Fail? Age! A long time ago, this question was popping up in self-empowerment materials: “What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?”  One particular day, I closed my eyes and felt into the question, “What would I do?” The answer came swiftly - not from my thinking mind but out of the depths of my being: “I would sail around the world by myself!” I was shocked with this answer, because, even though I sailed across the Atlantic in my 40’s, with my boyfriend who had a very large and beautiful sailboat, and at that point in life anticipated sailing around the world because it was what we were going to do together, it rarely entered my mind to do that under my own volition, by myself, no less! But, the point of the question wasn’t necessarily to do something that you couldn’t fail at; the point was to tap into that place within that is fearless, and where failure is impossible. Today, as I was preparing for this podcast, I was imagining the various things people say they want to do, once they are retired. Travel seems to be a big dream for most people. Personally, I rarely imagine myself traveling because I hate all the details required for traveling. I hate all of the choices I have to make and all the possible parts of the journey that could go wrong. But, today as I imagined myself retired, I experienced myself on the ocean, peaceful and content, not hating anything. This time, I was on a cruise ship. This time, I had all the comforts of home while still seeing the world. This time, feeling safe. Instead of years, I would do it in six months - that felt right! I went so far as to google cruise ship companies that provide such possibilities. That’s a big deal for me. My life on Orcas is simple and I like it that way. To consider such an adventure made me smile. Now I have something on my bucket list! This little romp of imagination delighted me. And, I find it fascinating that it mirrors a previous notion to sail around the world.  I Can’t Fail at Aging I used to be afraid of everything. I used to say no to so much of life because I was afraid of all the things that could go wrong. And, because I was someone who was highly shame-based, any thing that could go wrong I would take as a failing on my part. It’s one of the reasons I gave up sailing - too many responsibilities, and too many potential opportunities for things to go wrong. It was best to let go of ‘continually imposed upon me’ opportunities to feel bad about being me. The cool thing is, the longer I’m on Earth, the more opportunities I’ve been given to let go of my fears of being me. What a gift! I believe it’s the gift each of us is given - to freely engage in knowing ourselves fearlessly - even if it’s just through our imaginations.  Aging, like cruising around the world, is an adventure - failing is not possible. It’s not possible because an adventure is full of twists and turns that bring the unpredictable as well as the predictable. Each one of us is on our unique human adventure through this process of aging. If we look through the lens of how we will fail while on this adventure, well, we might as well end it all right now! And, that’s what some of us try to do. But in truth, we can’t not be in this adventure of life and aging until the moment of death. The Wisdom of No Escape While sailing across the Atlantic, there were many times in those three weeks that I wanted the boat to pull up to some dock so that I could get off! I was scared, though there wasn’t any real danger imposed on me. I just didn’t want to be in that circumstance any longer. However, the wisdom of no escape allowed me to discover who I was within that situation. If I could have escaped, I would have missed exquisite moments being with the boat, with the beauty of the ocean and sky, with the people who shared this time with me. But mostly, I would have missed the opportunity to be me with me. I would have missed the opportunity to learn ways of being me with all my fears, frustration, and anxieties. I would have missed opportunities to train myself to be with difficult and sometimes life threatening situations. I learned how to be with those moments when there was nothing to do, nowhere to go; where depression and boredom could take over if I let them. Sounds like aging, doesn’t it? My deepest intent for sharing my thoughts through these podcasts is to offer you a frame or a lens through which to see yourself while you are on the adventure of your life. You have an enormous capacity to live it fearlessly - no failure required. The adventures of each day provide you with moments where you choose to feel the fear and then retreat to safety, or you choose to feel the fear and then dare yourself to consider doing it anyway. Even imagining yourself doing it differently brings you into a different experience with yourself.
