1
00:00:07,079 --> 00:00:09,509
Well, Hey everybody,
Jonathan Doyle with you.

2
00:00:09,509 --> 00:00:10,079
Once again.

3
00:00:10,079 --> 00:00:12,269
Welcome my friends to the daily podcast.

4
00:00:12,269 --> 00:00:13,139
We are back on the horse.

5
00:00:13,139 --> 00:00:15,659
I have been having a good long break.

6
00:00:16,529 --> 00:00:19,619
Went down to the coast the other
day and jumped off a bridge.

7
00:00:20,249 --> 00:00:23,219
There's this cool little town of once
a year, the police actually allow

8
00:00:23,279 --> 00:00:26,069
everybody to jump off the bridge into.

9
00:00:26,639 --> 00:00:29,849
The ocean into the title river
there that leads into the ocean.

10
00:00:29,849 --> 00:00:32,159
And so I did, I jumped three times.

11
00:00:32,549 --> 00:00:35,009
And my children were there to
encourage me to take the jump.

12
00:00:35,519 --> 00:00:38,489
I went there a year ago and, uh, the
kids, like, you're gonna jump dad and

13
00:00:38,489 --> 00:00:39,569
I'm like, yeah, I'm going to jump.

14
00:00:40,469 --> 00:00:43,169
And then the first time I ever did it,
I sort of climbed over the railing,

15
00:00:43,199 --> 00:00:44,999
looked down and went, what have I done?

16
00:00:45,359 --> 00:00:47,399
What have I done?

17
00:00:48,209 --> 00:00:49,529
As the hardest thing you there.

18
00:00:49,559 --> 00:00:52,169
And like, you know, I like to think
of myself as a bit of a man's man.

19
00:00:52,199 --> 00:00:53,249
I'm standing there and.

20
00:00:53,999 --> 00:00:55,919
The kids like, well,
haven't you jumped dad.

21
00:00:55,949 --> 00:00:56,819
Why haven't you jumped?

22
00:00:57,149 --> 00:00:57,869
So anyway, I did it.

23
00:00:58,169 --> 00:00:59,129
I had a few days off.

24
00:00:59,159 --> 00:01:03,029
And, uh, and that leads into today's
podcast because me being down there

25
00:01:03,029 --> 00:01:04,769
led into the topic of today's podcast.

26
00:01:04,769 --> 00:01:07,469

So go grab that link and let's talk.

42
00:01:45,269 --> 00:01:46,679
Friends when I was down the coast.

43
00:01:47,819 --> 00:01:50,369
I indulged my last real
remaining addiction.

44
00:01:50,369 --> 00:01:53,399
I gave up alcohol a while back
and my only real remaining

45
00:01:53,399 --> 00:01:55,559
addiction now is book purchases.

46
00:01:55,559 --> 00:01:57,149
I figured if you're going to
have an addiction, it's one

47
00:01:57,149 --> 00:01:58,289
of the better ones to have.

48
00:01:58,709 --> 00:02:01,169
But I do love books and I do
buy them on a, walked into

49
00:02:01,169 --> 00:02:02,429
this bookstore down the coast.

50
00:02:02,429 --> 00:02:06,059
And I bought a, I like biographies
is regular listeners know I

51
00:02:06,059 --> 00:02:08,189
bought a great book called a solo.

52
00:02:09,329 --> 00:02:12,869
By the wonderfully named Jenny tough.

53
00:02:13,859 --> 00:02:17,099
I figure if you're going to run
around the world sort of stuff, you

54
00:02:17,129 --> 00:02:21,329
need a cool name and Jenny tough
because she is she's interesting.

55
00:02:21,359 --> 00:02:22,799
She just sort of loves running.

56
00:02:23,579 --> 00:02:27,029
I've got into running and then
decided that it would be cool to run.

57
00:02:27,569 --> 00:02:33,389
Over across through the biggest
mountain ranges in the world.

58
00:02:34,049 --> 00:02:38,879
So each chapter's kind of devoted to
her journey, running solo, completely

59
00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:40,829
unsupported, nothing but a backpack.

60
00:02:41,369 --> 00:02:44,399
Uh, through some of the
world's most remote.

61
00:02:45,059 --> 00:02:48,659
Challenging difficult mountain
ranges, curves extend the 10

62
00:02:48,659 --> 00:02:50,519
shin mountains in Kazakhstan.

63
00:02:50,909 --> 00:02:54,449
She's been through the Atlas mountains
in Morocco, and I'm currently finishing

64
00:02:54,449 --> 00:02:58,139
the chapter where she's running solo,
unsupported through the Bolivian Andes.

65
00:02:58,709 --> 00:03:02,129
Where she ends up in hospital with
high altitude pulmonary edema,

66
00:03:02,159 --> 00:03:03,749
but then goes back and finishes.

67
00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:06,989
Anyway, it's a great book and I love
some of the lessons in it, but a

68
00:03:07,019 --> 00:03:09,479
quote jumped out at me because often.

69
00:03:09,749 --> 00:03:14,159
On in her expeditions, she was stuck
with really complex decision making.

70
00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:14,819
Should I do this?

71
00:03:14,819 --> 00:03:15,539
Should I do that?

72
00:03:15,569 --> 00:03:16,229
What about this?

73
00:03:16,229 --> 00:03:16,859
What about that?

74
00:03:17,279 --> 00:03:20,549
Often, you know, decisions that
could have been very serious for her.

75
00:03:20,549 --> 00:03:23,099
And here's this incredible
quote, which I absolutely loved.

76
00:03:23,099 --> 00:03:25,529
She said, Once you've made a choice.

77
00:03:26,429 --> 00:03:28,829
Even if it's potentially the wrong one.

78
00:03:29,339 --> 00:03:30,869
A weight is lifted.

79
00:03:31,109 --> 00:03:34,709
Your mind is cleared to
focus on other things.

80
00:03:35,129 --> 00:03:39,029
Than constantly stressing
about what you should do.

81
00:03:39,059 --> 00:03:39,689
One more time.

82
00:03:39,779 --> 00:03:42,839
She says once you've made a
choice, even if it's potentially

83
00:03:42,839 --> 00:03:44,849
the wrong one, a weight is lifted.

84
00:03:45,149 --> 00:03:48,689
Your mind is clear to focus on
other things than constantly

85
00:03:48,689 --> 00:03:51,149
stressing about what you should do.

86
00:03:51,149 --> 00:03:52,349
I loved this quote.

87
00:03:52,349 --> 00:03:54,059
It's like she had read my mind.

88
00:03:54,779 --> 00:03:57,269
You know, we don't get to
see the future perfectly.

89
00:03:57,269 --> 00:03:57,689
Of course.

90
00:03:57,719 --> 00:04:02,579
So, so much of the time we can all
suffer from paralysis by analysis.

91
00:04:02,969 --> 00:04:03,989
We get stuck.

92
00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:08,519
Just totally stuck on whether the
thing we're thinking of doing is

93
00:04:08,519 --> 00:04:09,989
the right thing, the wrong thing.

94
00:04:09,989 --> 00:04:11,639
And you got to live your way forward.

95
00:04:11,639 --> 00:04:11,909
Right?

96
00:04:11,909 --> 00:04:13,889
You've got to live your way into life.

97
00:04:14,609 --> 00:04:16,049
I'm somebody that's struggled with.

98
00:04:16,049 --> 00:04:16,949
Decision-making.

99
00:04:17,489 --> 00:04:18,659
A different point in life.

100
00:04:18,659 --> 00:04:22,349
I just, my brain, I'm very
analytical and very Haiti person.

101
00:04:22,799 --> 00:04:26,729
So I get to, I just think about all
the possible risks and permutations,

102
00:04:26,729 --> 00:04:30,599
but her quote was reminded me very
much at jumping off that bridge

103
00:04:30,599 --> 00:04:31,919
sooner or later, you got to commit.

104
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,429
Sooner or later you've got to commit
because as regular listeners know, I had

105
00:04:35,459 --> 00:04:39,629
a really bad accident in 2019, I've got a
ton of titanium in both sides of my body.

106
00:04:40,319 --> 00:04:43,439
So the first time I ever jumped on
my brain was going, what if, what if

107
00:04:43,439 --> 00:04:46,469
you hit the water hard and you damage
your arms and your brains going?

108
00:04:46,499 --> 00:04:46,619
Yeah.

109
00:04:46,619 --> 00:04:46,829
Yeah.

110
00:04:46,889 --> 00:04:47,369
Listen to that.

111
00:04:47,369 --> 00:04:47,909
Listen to that.

112
00:04:48,569 --> 00:04:51,359
And, uh, you know, you
have to take the leap.

113
00:04:52,139 --> 00:04:53,429
So I want to say to you today.

114
00:04:53,999 --> 00:04:55,229
Take action.

115
00:04:55,259 --> 00:04:56,609
Make decisions.

116
00:04:57,119 --> 00:04:59,309
And in the video version of
this, there'll be a video version

117
00:04:59,309 --> 00:05:00,839
here too on YouTube and rumble.

118
00:05:01,289 --> 00:05:06,779
You know, it's often hard to
just take that first step.

119
00:05:07,559 --> 00:05:11,399
We just kind of think, well, you know,
what if it's, what if it's the wrong one?

120
00:05:11,399 --> 00:05:15,089
And, and what I wanted to talk about was
the difference between being frivolous.

121
00:05:15,809 --> 00:05:18,569
You know, because sometimes
people might think I'm saying.

122
00:05:18,959 --> 00:05:22,379
You being frivolous, like you just doesn't
matter, you know, you just go for it.

123
00:05:22,769 --> 00:05:23,849
Whatever flip a coin.

124
00:05:24,449 --> 00:05:27,209
And again, being frivolous
means you're not really that

125
00:05:27,209 --> 00:05:28,589
concerned about the outcome.

126
00:05:29,729 --> 00:05:31,679
If you're frivolous with
decision-making it's because

127
00:05:31,679 --> 00:05:32,969
you either don't value yourself.

128
00:05:32,969 --> 00:05:35,519
You don't care about yourself
enough to value yourself enough to

129
00:05:35,519 --> 00:05:38,369
make good choices, or you're not
really invested in the outcome.

130
00:05:38,909 --> 00:05:40,139
And that's not what we're talking about.

131
00:05:40,139 --> 00:05:42,479
We're talking about valuing
ourselves, wanting to build really

132
00:05:42,479 --> 00:05:44,489
good, positive, happy lives.

133
00:05:44,819 --> 00:05:47,969
So we are invested in the choices,
but you know, you can't stay stuck.

134
00:05:47,969 --> 00:05:48,689
You got to make them.

135
00:05:49,259 --> 00:05:50,429
And I've been doing this lately.

136
00:05:50,429 --> 00:05:54,479
I've been making decisions, taking
choices, and it's quite liberating.

137
00:05:54,479 --> 00:05:56,819
You suddenly kind of feel like
you're back behind the wheel again.

138
00:05:57,089 --> 00:06:00,629
So for everybody listening today,
there's still a bit stuck in life.

139
00:06:00,779 --> 00:06:05,939
Take action, make decisions,
take action, make decisions.

140
00:06:05,969 --> 00:06:08,609
They could be wrong,
but this is life, right?

141
00:06:08,609 --> 00:06:11,069
This is, you know, I've got kids
and, and say your parent, you

142
00:06:11,099 --> 00:06:12,359
kind of got to let them grow up.

143
00:06:12,359 --> 00:06:13,709
You gotta let them try things.

144
00:06:13,709 --> 00:06:13,889
And.

145
00:06:14,309 --> 00:06:17,399
You know, you want to give them
parameters and boundaries and fences

146
00:06:17,399 --> 00:06:18,989
and wisdom, and you want to raise them.

147
00:06:18,989 --> 00:06:19,289
Right.

148
00:06:19,289 --> 00:06:21,989
But sooner or later, They
have to make choices of their

149
00:06:21,989 --> 00:06:23,369
own, have to make decisions.

150
00:06:23,369 --> 00:06:24,539
And I think that's how God looks at us.

151
00:06:24,569 --> 00:06:25,979
He's like, here's this life I give you.

152
00:06:26,249 --> 00:06:28,229
Here's this great big wild world.

153
00:06:28,229 --> 00:06:31,229
And it's all these things are
possible for you to have be indu.

154
00:06:31,979 --> 00:06:36,149
But to have and to be, and to do
the things that matter to you.

155
00:06:36,419 --> 00:06:37,949
Then you're going to have to make choices.

156
00:06:38,009 --> 00:06:39,269
So that's it for today, friends.

157
00:06:39,749 --> 00:06:42,179
