1
00:00:07,020 --> 00:00:09,570
Well, Hey everybody,
Jonathan Doyle with you.

2
00:00:09,570 --> 00:00:12,960
Once again, welcome friends as
always to the daily podcast.

3
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,480
Really good to be having
this time with you as always.

4
00:00:15,900 --> 00:00:17,100
Hope you're doing okay with you.

5
00:00:17,670 --> 00:00:21,630
Walking running, driving in the
gym, piloting a spice shuttle.

6
00:00:21,630 --> 00:00:24,270
Actually, I think they've decommissioned
those now, but whatever you're doing.

7
00:00:24,839 --> 00:00:26,939
Welcome aboard to the daily podcast.

8
00:00:26,939 --> 00:00:30,209
Hope I can bring you just a little bit
of encouragement and motivation because

9
00:00:30,209 --> 00:00:36,480
as we always say, you don't need a whole
big bunch of ideas to change your life.

10
00:00:36,510 --> 00:00:40,500
You just need one good idea that
you actually prepared to use.

11
00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:41,940
We are not sure to good ideas.

12
00:00:41,940 --> 00:00:42,870
If you think about it.

13
00:00:44,250 --> 00:00:47,730
You know, the way that the internet
has democratized knowledge, right.

14
00:00:48,330 --> 00:00:53,010
The the way to do just about anything
on the planet is available to us.

15
00:00:53,010 --> 00:00:54,780
We can research it, we can find it.

16
00:00:54,780 --> 00:00:55,710
We could study it.

17
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,210
So the best personal development
strategies, the best goal setting systems,

18
00:01:00,239 --> 00:01:02,190
all of those things are available.

19
00:01:03,239 --> 00:01:05,940
But that doesn't necessarily
mean that everybody is using

20
00:01:05,940 --> 00:01:07,470
them or even using any of them.

21
00:01:07,979 --> 00:01:12,720
So it doesn't matter so much what
the systems and strategies are.

22
00:01:12,750 --> 00:01:14,130
Well, I should clarify.

23
00:01:14,130 --> 00:01:18,210
They're important that we use the best
possible strategies for our circumstance.

24
00:01:18,630 --> 00:01:21,270
What matters more than anything is
that we're actually doing something

25
00:01:21,270 --> 00:01:23,009
we're actually using those strategies.

26
00:01:23,490 --> 00:01:27,210
We're going to talk about that today,
before we jump in, please make sure you've

27
00:01:27,210 --> 00:01:28,949
subscribed does make a big difference.

28
00:01:28,949 --> 00:01:30,990
So hit that subscribe button,
wherever you're listening.

29
00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:32,910

30
00:01:32,910 --> 00:01:36,720
And of course, if you could possibly
leave a review or a comment on whatever

31
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,900
platform you're listening on, that
also makes a really big difference.

32
00:01:39,900 --> 00:01:43,169
I'd love you to do that as always
check out the show notes, because

33
00:01:43,169 --> 00:01:46,560
there are links there to get a free
copy of my book, bridging the gap.

34
00:01:46,590 --> 00:01:49,979
You can access a free version
that we're going to email to you.

35
00:01:49,979 --> 00:01:51,060
So you can grab that.

36
00:01:51,750 --> 00:01:54,210
You can also find out how to
book me, where to book me.

37
00:01:54,690 --> 00:01:58,470
Uh, to speak at conferences and events and
a whole bunch of other stuff that we do.

38
00:01:58,470 --> 00:02:01,320
So please check out the show
notes, friends let's jump in today.

39
00:02:01,919 --> 00:02:03,150
Today today, today.

40
00:02:03,150 --> 00:02:04,350
Well, let's just flashback.

41
00:02:04,380 --> 00:02:07,470
First, yesterday, we talked
about resilience and hardship.

42
00:02:07,500 --> 00:02:08,759
We talked about the fact that.

43
00:02:09,810 --> 00:02:12,600
As we go through this journey
of life, there will be moments

44
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:13,800
of difficulty and hardship.

45
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,090
Sometimes many of them.

46
00:02:15,630 --> 00:02:19,740
Such a mystery, some of us roll through
life without too much going wrong.

47
00:02:19,740 --> 00:02:22,200
And then others of us can have
a really tough time of it.

48
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,620
But what matters, isn't
so much the quantity.

49
00:02:25,620 --> 00:02:30,180
It is the quality of our response
to difficulties and hardships.

50
00:02:30,180 --> 00:02:31,530
That makes the difference.

51
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,160
And on that theme today, we're
going to be talking about action.

52
00:02:35,820 --> 00:02:37,410
I did talk about this a few weeks ago.

53
00:02:37,410 --> 00:02:39,360
I used a quote from PEBLO Picasso.

54
00:02:39,900 --> 00:02:45,780
Who said action is the
foundational key to all success.

55
00:02:46,410 --> 00:02:48,450
We very much live under
the myth of talent.

56
00:02:48,450 --> 00:02:51,510
Don't we, this idea that really,
that there are super talented people.

57
00:02:51,870 --> 00:02:54,960
And if we just did what they, you
know, we just had their talents.

58
00:02:55,770 --> 00:02:57,990
Then our lives would just
work out magically the way

59
00:02:57,990 --> 00:02:59,280
their lives seem to work.

60
00:02:59,820 --> 00:03:04,470
But what we do find when we look under the
hood, when we sort of pull back the veil.

61
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:05,910
We've ever seen that.

62
00:03:05,910 --> 00:03:09,630
Um, The famous wizard of Oz movie,
you'll see that final scene where

63
00:03:09,630 --> 00:03:12,300
they pull back the curtain and
they see what's really going on.

64
00:03:12,990 --> 00:03:16,710
When you pull back the curtain
on so many successful lives.

65
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:23,160
You do find certain natural abilities and
proclivities, certain things that people

66
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,200
were attracted to doing that they found.

67
00:03:25,740 --> 00:03:28,500
Interesting and that they
had some affinity for.

68
00:03:29,340 --> 00:03:30,480
And that's a mystery too, right?

69
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,340
Like how that works at,
in individual lives.

70
00:03:32,340 --> 00:03:33,480
Everybody's different.

71
00:03:33,990 --> 00:03:37,920
Everybody just is drawn towards different
things on the journey of childhood.

72
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,260
So we've all got these different
skill sets and talents.

73
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,420
So, what is the difference?

74
00:03:42,420 --> 00:03:43,260
What is the big factor?

75
00:03:43,260 --> 00:03:43,950
I'm going to be honest.

76
00:03:43,950 --> 00:03:44,550
There is luck.

77
00:03:44,580 --> 00:03:45,870
There's definitely such a thing as.

78
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,190
You could call it luck is some people are
just in the right place in the right time.

79
00:03:50,970 --> 00:03:52,920
You know, look at someone
like Michael Jordan, right?

80
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,620
Like, uh, you'll be the
greatest basketball or volt Tom.

81
00:03:55,650 --> 00:03:56,940
He grows up in the United States.

82
00:03:56,970 --> 00:04:00,600
If he'd grown up in Antarctica
or if he'd grown up in remoter

83
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,850
parts of south America or Africa.

84
00:04:03,270 --> 00:04:06,630
Maybe he wouldn't have had the
opportunities to go all the way that

85
00:04:06,630 --> 00:04:09,720
he did to attend the high school that
he did to turn the college that he did.

86
00:04:10,230 --> 00:04:14,820
So, yes, it's talent, but there's
also certain accidents of fate and

87
00:04:14,820 --> 00:04:18,990
luck where we're born a family systems
that, uh, that can really impact

88
00:04:19,230 --> 00:04:21,209
whether or not we get to use our gifts.

89
00:04:22,050 --> 00:04:23,430
Let's put those aside for a minute.

90
00:04:23,940 --> 00:04:26,969
And talk about the focus of
today's message, which has really.

91
00:04:27,510 --> 00:04:30,330
Whatever our natural
talents are, whatever.

92
00:04:30,810 --> 00:04:33,659
Natural benefits of luck
and fight we've had.

93
00:04:33,659 --> 00:04:38,400
What is always going to matter,
ultimately is the journey of action.

94
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,010
The journey of actually doing things.

95
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:45,539
So, what I can say to you is that I
spent many, many, many years of my life.

96
00:04:46,110 --> 00:04:48,990
Kind of a little bit at
the victim of circumstance.

97
00:04:49,144 --> 00:04:54,004
I often would feel that if something
wasn't working or if I didn't feel like

98
00:04:54,034 --> 00:04:57,214
doing it, then that was some kind of sign
that it wasn't the right thing to do.

99
00:04:57,214 --> 00:05:00,034
I would get overwhelmed by my
own negative thinking patterns.

100
00:05:00,544 --> 00:05:01,414
I would allow.

101
00:05:02,014 --> 00:05:05,044
My past to dictate my present and future.

102
00:05:05,614 --> 00:05:11,404
And I genuinely kind of thought that
the real task was to get my psychology.

103
00:05:11,404 --> 00:05:12,154
Perfect.

104
00:05:12,694 --> 00:05:16,234
Before I would go ahead and try
and create the dreams and goals

105
00:05:16,234 --> 00:05:17,494
and realities that I wanted.

106
00:05:18,274 --> 00:05:21,544
And what I've learned over time
is very much in the last few years

107
00:05:21,544 --> 00:05:23,344
is what truly matters is action.

108
00:05:24,184 --> 00:05:25,804
If you want to move your life forward.

109
00:05:27,484 --> 00:05:29,704
If you sit in a room and do nothing.

110
00:05:29,764 --> 00:05:33,214
Now, it is possible that somebody is going
to knock on your door and offer you the

111
00:05:33,214 --> 00:05:35,494
dream of a lifetime, but it is unlikely.

112
00:05:35,884 --> 00:05:38,194
It is not impossible, but it is unlikely.

113
00:05:38,824 --> 00:05:42,994
It seems to be that the more things
you do, the more context you make, the

114
00:05:42,994 --> 00:05:48,154
more books you write, the more videos
and podcasts you record, the more.

115
00:05:48,304 --> 00:05:51,964
Do you know, decisions you make about
health, diet, exercise, friendships,

116
00:05:51,964 --> 00:05:56,044
relationships, spirituality, the more
things you do, the more choices you make.

117
00:05:56,614 --> 00:06:00,244
The more you begin to shape and
change the game of life itself.

118
00:06:00,754 --> 00:06:04,534
I didn't get to write the script of
how the cosmos is organized, but I

119
00:06:04,534 --> 00:06:06,514
can promise you that this seems to be.

120
00:06:07,174 --> 00:06:10,054
A powerful, powerful, universal principle.

121
00:06:10,714 --> 00:06:15,154
Taking action, taking as much action
as you can reasonably take on key

122
00:06:15,154 --> 00:06:17,314
things day after day after day.

123
00:06:17,854 --> 00:06:21,154
So a lot of the times, we're not always
going to know exactly what to do.

124
00:06:21,184 --> 00:06:24,514
That was another one of my great
failures for many years was that

125
00:06:24,514 --> 00:06:27,904
I kind of felt that if I didn't
know exactly the course ahead, if

126
00:06:27,904 --> 00:06:29,704
I didn't know exactly what to do.

127
00:06:30,184 --> 00:06:33,094
Then I would kind of spin my
wheels and just kind of was

128
00:06:33,124 --> 00:06:35,104
white and, you know, earlier.

129
00:06:35,494 --> 00:06:39,634
This week, we talked about not waiting
for the universe to send you a message.

130
00:06:39,994 --> 00:06:41,584
But I did that for many years.

131
00:06:41,584 --> 00:06:46,144
I'd kind of just wait until I felt I had
some profound sense of cosmic alignment.

132
00:06:46,714 --> 00:06:49,414
So, what I desperately want to
say to you today is, you know,

133
00:06:49,474 --> 00:06:51,424
take the benefit of my experience.

134
00:06:51,424 --> 00:06:52,354
Take the benefit.

135
00:06:52,744 --> 00:06:53,764
Of what I've learned.

136
00:06:54,304 --> 00:06:56,914
Which is that action
matters just doing stuff.

137
00:06:56,914 --> 00:07:01,774
And often once you get forward momentum,
once you start moving and doing and taking

138
00:07:01,774 --> 00:07:03,664
action, things begin to change for you.

139
00:07:04,354 --> 00:07:06,394
So some of you'll be listening,
going well, what are you saying?

140
00:07:06,604 --> 00:07:08,944
You just think they just take
massive action all over the place?

141
00:07:08,944 --> 00:07:12,664
Well, yes, that's pretty much exactly
what I'm saying to which the next question

142
00:07:12,664 --> 00:07:13,714
is, well, what if we get it wrong?

143
00:07:13,714 --> 00:07:14,914
What if we take the wrong actions?

144
00:07:15,214 --> 00:07:15,754
Awesome.

145
00:07:15,784 --> 00:07:16,324
Perfect.

146
00:07:16,324 --> 00:07:18,094
At least you've done something.

147
00:07:18,304 --> 00:07:20,314
And what you're getting now is feedback.

148
00:07:20,524 --> 00:07:23,914
You've taken action in the world
and now you're getting feedback.

149
00:07:24,574 --> 00:07:28,444
And that feedback will allow you to make
changes to the future courses of action,

150
00:07:28,834 --> 00:07:32,434
which will create these constant feedback
loops, where you're getting information,

151
00:07:32,434 --> 00:07:33,724
you're changing your approach.

152
00:07:33,724 --> 00:07:35,074
You're changing your approach again.

153
00:07:35,494 --> 00:07:36,724
Something's really successful.

154
00:07:36,724 --> 00:07:37,774
You do lots more of that.

155
00:07:37,804 --> 00:07:38,824
Something's not working.

156
00:07:38,824 --> 00:07:39,814
You stopped doing that.

157
00:07:40,264 --> 00:07:41,944
None of these things are going to happen.

158
00:07:41,944 --> 00:07:44,374
None of this data is going
to come into your life.

159
00:07:44,734 --> 00:07:45,724
If you're stationary.

160
00:07:46,474 --> 00:07:46,774
Okay.

161
00:07:46,774 --> 00:07:49,564
Now there are times in life
where we do stay stationary.

162
00:07:49,564 --> 00:07:50,704
There's times to be patient.

163
00:07:51,394 --> 00:07:53,884
You'll know them when they come you'll
know when there's just a sense of.

164
00:07:54,424 --> 00:07:55,174
Relax.

165
00:07:55,684 --> 00:07:58,384
Just sit, be patient things will happen.

166
00:07:58,894 --> 00:08:01,774
But for the rest of the time, which
I think for most of us is most

167
00:08:01,774 --> 00:08:04,774
of the time we need to constantly
be doing as much as possible.

168
00:08:04,774 --> 00:08:06,244
Once I get out of the studio today.

169
00:08:06,904 --> 00:08:08,524
I'm taking my kids for walk.

170
00:08:09,364 --> 00:08:12,214
I've got a rice across and do a few
things, and then I'm going to take my

171
00:08:12,214 --> 00:08:14,014
oldest daughter, do some soccer practice.

172
00:08:14,584 --> 00:08:16,444
And then I'm going to come back
and do a bunch of other things.

173
00:08:16,444 --> 00:08:18,964
I'm going to work on a whole bunch
of videos that I've been recording.

174
00:08:19,414 --> 00:08:22,114
So I'm just going to keep moving
forward and, uh, friends, you

175
00:08:22,114 --> 00:08:24,364
know, I just find that if you want
to beat things like depression,

176
00:08:25,144 --> 00:08:26,794
If you want to beat things like anxiety.

177
00:08:27,424 --> 00:08:31,894
So much of the time depression and anxiety
come from rumination, they come from.

178
00:08:32,254 --> 00:08:36,184
Being very stationary and
deep pressed in our energy.

179
00:08:36,394 --> 00:08:40,024
And in a lot of things like body
posture and our breathing patterns.

180
00:08:40,684 --> 00:08:44,314
And we kind of collapse into ourselves,
not minimizing the other ways that

181
00:08:44,314 --> 00:08:45,934
depression can come into people's lives.

182
00:08:45,934 --> 00:08:46,024
So.

183
00:08:46,144 --> 00:08:47,794
I don't want to go down that rabbit hole.

184
00:08:47,794 --> 00:08:48,154
I do.

185
00:08:48,154 --> 00:08:52,834
I understand that we can experience all
forms of trauma in life, but a lot of the

186
00:08:52,834 --> 00:08:58,744
time depressive states can be entrenched
by long-term rumination, long-term

187
00:08:58,984 --> 00:09:03,304
thinking and overthinking and overthinking
and wondering, and worrying and obsessing.

188
00:09:03,814 --> 00:09:07,894
Whereas often, if you'll just get moving,
if you'll just start moving forward,

189
00:09:08,134 --> 00:09:10,084
things can begin to really change for you.

190
00:09:10,084 --> 00:09:10,294
All right.

191
00:09:10,294 --> 00:09:11,314
I hope that's useful.

192
00:09:11,824 --> 00:09:12,454
