1
00:00:09,003 --> 00:00:10,443
Well, Hey everybody.

2
00:00:10,443 --> 00:00:13,773
Jonathan Doyle with you again,
welcome to the daily podcast.

3
00:00:13,833 --> 00:00:14,643
Good to be with you.

4
00:00:14,643 --> 00:00:16,773
Hope it can bring you
something useful today on this.

5
00:00:17,763 --> 00:00:20,703
Great big adventure of life
that we're all sharing together.

6
00:00:20,793 --> 00:00:23,853
Sometimes we just need a little
bit of inspiration, motivation

7
00:00:23,853 --> 00:00:24,873
to get us moving forward.

8
00:00:24,873 --> 00:00:27,753
So if you're listening in your car,
in the gym, on the golf course,

9
00:00:28,773 --> 00:00:32,223
Base camp of Mount Everest, perhaps
who knows anything's possible.

10
00:00:32,223 --> 00:00:32,973
Welcome aboard.

11
00:00:33,003 --> 00:00:34,083
Thanks for tuning in.

12
00:00:34,773 --> 00:00:36,603
I was talking yesterday about state.

13
00:00:36,603 --> 00:00:38,343
I've been talking a lot
about state this week.

14
00:00:38,823 --> 00:00:42,783
Which is really just taking this
new responsibility for our levels of

15
00:00:42,783 --> 00:00:45,003
energy, how we use our physical bodies.

16
00:00:45,543 --> 00:00:47,193
A lot of people want to blow this one off.

17
00:00:47,223 --> 00:00:49,203
They're like, ah, this is just raw.

18
00:00:49,263 --> 00:00:50,583
This is just a, you know,

19
00:00:51,033 --> 00:00:51,963
We don't need to do this.

20
00:00:51,963 --> 00:00:52,953
I'm happy how I am.

21
00:00:52,983 --> 00:00:55,803
Well, if we are happy, how we
are, we tend to stay where we are.

22
00:00:55,863 --> 00:00:59,013
If you are completely happy with where
you are and you're happy to stay, then.

23
00:00:59,553 --> 00:01:03,933
I, um, I may not be useful as, as much
as useful as I'd like to be for you,

24
00:01:03,993 --> 00:01:08,253
because I think as humans, we're here
for change, we're here for growth.

25
00:01:09,573 --> 00:01:10,683
Everything is changing.

26
00:01:10,893 --> 00:01:13,383
And before I get into that,
uh, housekeeping, please make

27
00:01:13,383 --> 00:01:14,763
sure you've subscribed and.

28
00:01:15,393 --> 00:01:16,593
Uh, there's a whole bunch of links.

29
00:01:16,593 --> 00:01:18,993
If you're on the podcast app, you
should be able to find a bunch of links.

30
00:01:18,993 --> 00:01:21,873
You can book me for a
30 minute coaching call.

31
00:01:21,903 --> 00:01:23,373
It's called a discovery call.

32
00:01:23,793 --> 00:01:27,723
Where we look at, uh, what you're looking
to change in life, business relationships.

33
00:01:27,753 --> 00:01:29,643
You want to move your business
forward your career forward.

34
00:01:30,123 --> 00:01:33,663
Go and book a 30 minute
discovery call with me.

35
00:01:34,353 --> 00:01:37,293
And we can look together about
how we can get you moving forward.

36
00:01:37,293 --> 00:01:38,313
I love coaching people.

37
00:01:38,313 --> 00:01:39,273
It's a great joy to me.

38
00:01:39,693 --> 00:01:42,033
So go and grab that a 30 minute call now.

39
00:01:42,333 --> 00:01:43,683
We're talking about change.

40
00:01:43,833 --> 00:01:47,043
I want to give you a simple,
simple, simple man tried this.

41
00:01:47,553 --> 00:01:50,823
Change is mandatory, mandatory.

42
00:01:51,333 --> 00:01:53,433
Growth is optional changes.

43
00:01:53,433 --> 00:01:55,323
Mandatory growth is optional.

44
00:01:55,353 --> 00:01:56,733
That is the thought for today.

45
00:01:57,243 --> 00:01:57,783
Friends.

46
00:01:57,933 --> 00:02:01,383
This one is irrefutable in controvertible.

47
00:02:01,383 --> 00:02:03,483
It is just the nature of reality itself.

48
00:02:03,513 --> 00:02:04,533
Look out the window.

49
00:02:05,013 --> 00:02:06,693
And you will notice change.

50
00:02:06,843 --> 00:02:08,313
You will notice the sky changing.

51
00:02:08,313 --> 00:02:10,383
You will notice the trees
changing wherever you are.

52
00:02:10,413 --> 00:02:12,483
Sometimes, you know
where we, we live here.

53
00:02:12,483 --> 00:02:14,103
It's, uh, it's dramatic.

54
00:02:14,103 --> 00:02:14,853
You come through.

55
00:02:15,423 --> 00:02:18,603
Into autumn where I live and it's
just like nature jumps out and says,

56
00:02:18,603 --> 00:02:20,313
okay, we're getting ready to change.

57
00:02:20,763 --> 00:02:22,503
Change is always happening.

58
00:02:22,503 --> 00:02:24,243
It is happening in your physical body.

59
00:02:24,243 --> 00:02:25,173
I've got young kids.

60
00:02:25,533 --> 00:02:27,873
But I'll tell you what, they're
not as young as they once were.

61
00:02:28,263 --> 00:02:32,043
And now I'm at that phase where I'm
out and about, and I'll see parents

62
00:02:32,043 --> 00:02:34,473
with really young kids and I'll
be like, oh man, remember that?

63
00:02:34,473 --> 00:02:35,463
Where'd that phase go.

64
00:02:36,003 --> 00:02:37,203
My kids are getting older.

65
00:02:37,983 --> 00:02:41,283
You know, and, uh, all these
different changes taking place.

66
00:02:41,313 --> 00:02:43,083
There is nothing you can do to stop it.

67
00:02:43,083 --> 00:02:44,103
It is going to happen.

68
00:02:45,183 --> 00:02:45,903
But growth.

69
00:02:45,933 --> 00:02:48,333
My friend growth is optional.

70
00:02:48,693 --> 00:02:50,553
What do I mean by that
bottom end by growth.

71
00:02:50,973 --> 00:02:54,453
I mean, we, uh, you know, they all saying
we're not human beings, we're human.

72
00:02:54,453 --> 00:02:58,383
Becomings, there's this potentiality in
every single one of us, what it means

73
00:02:58,383 --> 00:03:00,453
to be human, what we can have be do.

74
00:03:00,453 --> 00:03:02,463
And as I love to finish with contribute,

75
00:03:03,063 --> 00:03:06,963
See the goal of life, of course is not to
be the richest person in the graveyard.

76
00:03:07,593 --> 00:03:10,203
That seems to be our cultural
fascination at the moment.

77
00:03:10,683 --> 00:03:13,383
Um, you know, particularly
through things like social media

78
00:03:13,413 --> 00:03:15,453
have influenced, be recognized.

79
00:03:15,903 --> 00:03:17,163
Live your best life.

80
00:03:17,193 --> 00:03:17,913
Be noticed.

81
00:03:17,943 --> 00:03:18,783
Be validated.

82
00:03:19,323 --> 00:03:20,913
But life is so much more than that.

83
00:03:21,003 --> 00:03:22,533
It's very much about contribution.

84
00:03:22,623 --> 00:03:26,763
You know, Real happiness comes from
a sense of connection, relationship

85
00:03:26,823 --> 00:03:30,663
and contribution that that is what
is going to make you truly happy.

86
00:03:31,383 --> 00:03:32,253
So friends.

87
00:03:33,033 --> 00:03:33,783
How do we grow?

88
00:03:34,683 --> 00:03:35,793
It changes mandatory.

89
00:03:35,793 --> 00:03:36,543
How do we grow?

90
00:03:36,543 --> 00:03:39,363
How do we become more
of what we already are?

91
00:03:39,363 --> 00:03:41,013
I love that paradoxical statement.

92
00:03:41,013 --> 00:03:43,233
How do you become more
of what you already are?

93
00:03:43,623 --> 00:03:44,373
What does that mean?

94
00:03:44,823 --> 00:03:49,203
That means that deep inside us is this
incredibly beautiful human potential

95
00:03:49,203 --> 00:03:52,383
that God has given every single one
of us we've been created with this.

96
00:03:52,863 --> 00:03:54,723
Beautiful potential and capacity.

97
00:03:54,723 --> 00:03:57,183
How do we, how do we actualize it?

98
00:03:57,183 --> 00:03:58,233
How do we move towards it?

99
00:03:58,713 --> 00:04:00,273
All I want to say he really is.

100
00:04:01,413 --> 00:04:03,213
There are vast numbers of strategies.

101
00:04:03,903 --> 00:04:08,103
When I'm coaching people, I often
get them to the strategy point lost

102
00:04:08,253 --> 00:04:11,493
because there's two other factors
that we need to get in place.

103
00:04:11,493 --> 00:04:12,033
First.

104
00:04:12,033 --> 00:04:14,823
There's kind of a physiological
state, how we're feeling and

105
00:04:14,823 --> 00:04:16,143
how we're moving physically.

106
00:04:16,143 --> 00:04:16,833
And then we look at.

107
00:04:17,133 --> 00:04:20,733
The story that we're in the kind
of cognitive architecture, the way

108
00:04:20,733 --> 00:04:23,823
that we've built our conceptual
framework of our own lives.

109
00:04:24,423 --> 00:04:26,763
I want you to sort that stuff
out and you start looking at

110
00:04:26,793 --> 00:04:28,203
empowering stories for your life.

111
00:04:28,203 --> 00:04:30,963
You end up then strategy
takes care of itself in time.

112
00:04:31,833 --> 00:04:35,973
But I want to give you, I guess, one,
at least strategic insight on this

113
00:04:36,093 --> 00:04:37,983
relationship between change and growth.

114
00:04:38,013 --> 00:04:38,823
If you want growth.

115
00:04:39,633 --> 00:04:41,163
The real first step is.

116
00:04:42,243 --> 00:04:46,083
I'll say mindfulness, but I don't
buy that mean the kind of new

117
00:04:46,113 --> 00:04:47,823
concepts we have around a sort of.

118
00:04:48,093 --> 00:04:50,613
You know, presence, meditation
thing by mindfulness.

119
00:04:50,643 --> 00:04:51,003
I mean,

120
00:04:51,543 --> 00:04:55,383
Having awareness, having a
simple awareness that growth.

121
00:04:55,833 --> 00:04:56,733
Is optional.

122
00:04:57,723 --> 00:04:58,893
Beginning to think to yourself.

123
00:04:58,893 --> 00:04:59,133
Yeah.

124
00:04:59,163 --> 00:04:59,733
Hang on a sec.

125
00:05:00,423 --> 00:05:01,083
He's right.

126
00:05:02,013 --> 00:05:03,363
Change is always going to happen.

127
00:05:03,393 --> 00:05:06,813
But if I want to partner with
growth, I have to be deliberate.

128
00:05:06,813 --> 00:05:07,983
I have to be conscious.

129
00:05:08,853 --> 00:05:11,223
And many times I've said that
the world that we inhabit at the

130
00:05:11,223 --> 00:05:14,133
moment because of it's, it's,
it's a, it's an attention economy.

131
00:05:14,133 --> 00:05:15,573
It's a distraction economy, right?

132
00:05:16,593 --> 00:05:21,723
So, so much of the time being deliberate
and conscious about what we want for

133
00:05:21,723 --> 00:05:23,343
our lives, for the people we love.

134
00:05:24,153 --> 00:05:28,983
Can be really overwhelmed by
the sheer inundation of stuff.

135
00:05:29,433 --> 00:05:30,963
That's coming at us all the time.

136
00:05:31,653 --> 00:05:33,633
So my challenge for you today.

137
00:05:34,113 --> 00:05:36,063
It's just to sit with this concept.

138
00:05:36,423 --> 00:05:37,083
Ask yourself.

139
00:05:37,083 --> 00:05:37,713
The question.

140
00:05:37,743 --> 00:05:40,413
Yeah, I know I'm changing,
but am I growing?

141
00:05:41,103 --> 00:05:42,633
What does growing look like for you?

142
00:05:43,503 --> 00:05:44,913
Is it a growth in intellect?

143
00:05:44,943 --> 00:05:47,583
Is it a growth in attainment achievement?

144
00:05:47,583 --> 00:05:50,013
Is it a growth in a sense
of success or wellbeing?

145
00:05:50,463 --> 00:05:53,733
Is that your relationships are developing
and growing in a way you like your

146
00:05:53,733 --> 00:05:58,803
spirituality, your sense of your place
in the cosmos, your relationship to God.

147
00:05:59,253 --> 00:06:00,033
All of that stuff.

148
00:06:00,063 --> 00:06:00,903
Are you growing?

149
00:06:01,413 --> 00:06:01,803
Because.

150
00:06:02,493 --> 00:06:04,323
The nature of the cosmos itself.

151
00:06:04,443 --> 00:06:07,563
You know, I often talk about the
second law of thermodynamics, which

152
00:06:07,563 --> 00:06:09,183
is what's called the law of entropy.

153
00:06:09,903 --> 00:06:14,853
That things are moving from a hotter state
to a colder state, which means any system

154
00:06:14,853 --> 00:06:18,303
left to itself with no fresh inputs.

155
00:06:18,693 --> 00:06:24,573
Is cooling down is slowing down, is
moving towards entropy and death.

156
00:06:25,173 --> 00:06:27,633
And so, yeah, there's physical
death for all of us, I guess, but.

157
00:06:28,173 --> 00:06:28,923
Happy podcast.

158
00:06:28,953 --> 00:06:29,133
Isn't it.

159
00:06:29,643 --> 00:06:32,073
It's this physical death,
but there's also very much.

160
00:06:32,523 --> 00:06:36,303
The death of our dreams, the death of our
potential, the death of our contribution,

161
00:06:36,303 --> 00:06:39,903
because we're not consciously partnering
with trying to move it forward.

162
00:06:40,473 --> 00:06:41,823
So that's my question for you today.

163
00:06:41,853 --> 00:06:42,513
Are you growing?

164
00:06:43,533 --> 00:06:44,223
Are you growing?

165
00:06:45,393 --> 00:06:47,043
And if you're not growing, then reach out.

166
00:06:47,043 --> 00:06:48,603
We can, we can do some coaching.

167
00:06:48,603 --> 00:06:51,633
We can look at what's stopping
you and get you moving forward.

168
00:06:51,633 --> 00:06:54,903
But even if you don't do
that, Are you growing?

169
00:06:55,893 --> 00:06:56,883
What could you do today?

170
00:06:56,883 --> 00:06:57,903
What could you read?

171
00:06:57,903 --> 00:06:59,463
What conversation could you have?

172
00:06:59,463 --> 00:06:59,733
What.

173
00:07:00,123 --> 00:07:01,353
Jim, could you join?

174
00:07:01,353 --> 00:07:02,673
What war could you go on?

175
00:07:02,703 --> 00:07:05,493
What thing could you do that you're
avoiding doing that would get

176
00:07:05,493 --> 00:07:07,533
you moving forward and growing.

177
00:07:08,013 --> 00:07:08,403
All right.

178
00:07:09,183 --> 00:07:12,153
So last time changes, mandatory growth.

179
00:07:12,153 --> 00:07:17,223
My friend growth is very much optional,
so let's be partners in growth.

180
00:07:17,283 --> 00:07:18,483
Let's get on our own team.

181
00:07:18,483 --> 00:07:20,043
Let's get behind ourselves here.

182
00:07:20,733 --> 00:07:21,903
And start growing.

183
00:07:21,933 --> 00:07:23,763
I, and I'll tell you
what one last thought.

184
00:07:24,123 --> 00:07:25,173
It's hard.

185
00:07:25,623 --> 00:07:27,873
I'm in a real phase of
growth at the moment.

186
00:07:28,383 --> 00:07:30,273
I started my day today at 4:00 AM.

187
00:07:30,903 --> 00:07:33,603
I mean here in the studio and
I'm committing to a process I'm

188
00:07:33,633 --> 00:07:37,383
doing a lot of sorta online study
and research and thinking and.

189
00:07:38,613 --> 00:07:42,333
And I thought to myself last night, I
thought, wow, you know, growth is hard.

190
00:07:42,333 --> 00:07:45,183
It's so much easier just to, to cruise.

191
00:07:46,173 --> 00:07:49,443
And when you grow, there's this tension
I think in, in yourself, I don't know

192
00:07:49,473 --> 00:07:52,233
if you felt it sometimes in your life,
you kind of got, you want to go back.

193
00:07:52,773 --> 00:07:53,103
You want to go?

194
00:07:53,163 --> 00:07:54,573
I remember this is hard.

195
00:07:54,603 --> 00:07:55,803
It was easy before you.

196
00:07:55,803 --> 00:07:56,643
I wasn't happy it.

197
00:07:56,643 --> 00:07:58,773
Wasn't where I wanted to
be, but it was comfortable.

198
00:07:59,193 --> 00:08:02,283
It takes us into that whole great
big decision, the whole great big

199
00:08:02,313 --> 00:08:03,993
conversation about comfort zones.

200
00:08:04,023 --> 00:08:04,443
Doesn't it.

201
00:08:05,073 --> 00:08:06,753
There's a reason that
we have comfort zones.

202
00:08:06,813 --> 00:08:07,653
It's not profound.

203
00:08:07,653 --> 00:08:08,703
It's because they're comfortable.

204
00:08:08,823 --> 00:08:09,963
It's cause they're comfortable.

205
00:08:10,383 --> 00:08:11,343
We want to stay there.

206
00:08:11,973 --> 00:08:15,753
So do not be afraid of you move
forward with any form of growth.

207
00:08:15,783 --> 00:08:19,053
If you find resistance within
yourself, it's like a rocket

208
00:08:19,053 --> 00:08:20,373
taking off into space, you know?

209
00:08:20,733 --> 00:08:25,683
It needs this big, this burst of fuel
and energy to get it moving forward.

210
00:08:26,463 --> 00:08:30,513
Because once it's done that, it
breaks free out of the atmosphere

211
00:08:30,513 --> 00:08:32,583
and has this huge expansive.

212
00:08:33,093 --> 00:08:34,563
Cosmos to explore.

213
00:08:34,563 --> 00:08:35,613
This is a good metaphor for you.

214
00:08:35,613 --> 00:08:36,273
All right, everybody.

215
00:08:36,273 --> 00:08:36,693

216
00:08:36,753 --> 00:08:38,973
