00:00:00.017 --> 00:00:05.297

Kevin Lowe: What if I told you that the thing that scares you the most, like I'm talking

00:00:05.297 --> 00:00:10.317

Kevin Lowe: to the thing that you think about, you dream about, but you never take action

00:00:10.317 --> 00:00:14.877

Kevin Lowe: on because you're scared, you're worried. What if it goes wrong?

00:00:15.077 --> 00:00:19.157

Kevin Lowe: What if it doesn't turn out the way you thought? What if I told you that that

00:00:19.157 --> 00:00:25.897

Kevin Lowe: very thing, that action is the thing that can unlock the next level for you?

00:00:25.897 --> 00:00:30.677

Kevin Lowe: We're always wanting to know what does the next chapter in our life look like?

00:00:30.817 --> 00:00:32.897

Kevin Lowe: How do we finally turn the page?

00:00:33.097 --> 00:00:40.417

Kevin Lowe: Well, my friend, very honestly, it's probably by you doing the thing that scares you the most.

00:00:40.637 --> 00:00:42.497

Kevin Lowe: And that is what today is all about.

00:00:42.777 --> 00:00:45.597

Kevin Lowe: So if there is something in your life that you've been wanting,

00:00:45.817 --> 00:00:49.717

Kevin Lowe: that you've been dreaming about, but you've been hesitant to take action,

00:00:49.957 --> 00:00:54.057

Kevin Lowe: well, today is your pep talk to have you taking flight.

00:00:54.057 --> 00:00:58.717

Kevin Lowe: My friend, this is episode 403 of Grit, Grace, and Inspiration.

00:00:58.997 --> 00:01:04.017

Kevin Lowe: And in case we haven't met, I am your host, Kevin Lowe, and it is an absolute

00:01:04.017 --> 00:01:06.277

Kevin Lowe: pleasure and honor to have you here today.

00:01:06.637 --> 00:01:12.857

Kevin Lowe: So my friend, whether this is your first time or if you are returning, welcome to the podcast.

00:01:13.437 --> 00:01:15.477

Kevin Lowe: I hope you enjoy today's episode.

00:01:16.880 --> 00:01:23.920

00:01:23.769 --> 00:01:29.029

Kevin Lowe: So if we're going to be embarking on a journey of you going against the grain,

00:01:29.309 --> 00:01:34.549

Kevin Lowe: doing the thing that scares you all in pursuit of stepping into that next level,

00:01:34.549 --> 00:01:38.629

Kevin Lowe: you might as well be sure that you're listening to something that you enjoy while doing it.

00:01:38.929 --> 00:01:42.949

Kevin Lowe: So if that's the case, then my friend, I want to encourage you to check out

00:01:42.949 --> 00:01:48.129

Kevin Lowe: my very own music production company called K-Lowe Music.

00:01:48.329 --> 00:01:53.449

Kevin Lowe: I am producing custom music for people, for brands, for companies.

00:01:53.769 --> 00:01:59.789

Kevin Lowe: And I post it all for your enjoyment on all of the listening platforms like

00:01:59.789 --> 00:02:02.449

Kevin Lowe: Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.

00:02:02.829 --> 00:02:07.309

Kevin Lowe: Check out the link at the top of today's show notes so that you can hear what

00:02:07.309 --> 00:02:09.689

Kevin Lowe: custom music actually sounds like.

00:02:09.889 --> 00:02:13.729

Kevin Lowe: The name of the artist you're looking for is K-Lowe Music.

00:02:14.029 --> 00:02:19.249

Kevin Lowe: Again, link at the top of today's show notes so that you can have some good

00:02:19.249 --> 00:02:26.089

Kevin Lowe: jams to listen to while you are taking flight in pursuit of your own goals and dreams.

00:02:26.649 --> 00:02:33.269

Kevin Lowe: Question to ask you, do you have any idea what flying and personal growth have

00:02:33.269 --> 00:02:35.289

Kevin Lowe: in common? Well, it's easy.

00:02:35.789 --> 00:02:40.149

Kevin Lowe: Neither one of them happen when your feet are firmly planted on the ground.

00:02:40.509 --> 00:02:45.669

Kevin Lowe: In other words, if you stay in the comfort zone, you're never going to take off.

00:02:45.829 --> 00:02:51.029

Kevin Lowe: You're never going to send that plane into the sky. You're never going to experience

00:02:51.029 --> 00:02:54.949

Kevin Lowe: what lies inside of the next chapter of your life.

00:02:55.069 --> 00:02:58.509

Kevin Lowe: If you're never willing to take your feet off of the ground,

00:02:58.509 --> 00:03:01.409

Kevin Lowe: if you're never willing to step outside of what's comfortable,

00:03:01.789 --> 00:03:03.589

Kevin Lowe: then you'll always stay stuck.

00:03:04.513 --> 00:03:10.113

Kevin Lowe: And that, my friend, is no way to live. What I want you to think about is planes,

00:03:10.113 --> 00:03:12.293

Kevin Lowe: they take off against the wind.

00:03:12.633 --> 00:03:16.753

Kevin Lowe: Your personal development, it takes off against the fear.

00:03:17.173 --> 00:03:23.493

Kevin Lowe: And in the context of today's conversation, I'm going to keep using this metaphor

00:03:23.493 --> 00:03:26.793

Kevin Lowe: of the thing that scares you, the thing that you're fearful of.

00:03:27.013 --> 00:03:32.073

Kevin Lowe: But I want you to fully understand what I mean. I want you to think of fear

00:03:32.073 --> 00:03:34.273

Kevin Lowe: as the fuel, not the break.

00:03:34.513 --> 00:03:40.253

Kevin Lowe: In this context, obviously, there are things in life that we should be fearful

00:03:40.253 --> 00:03:42.653

Kevin Lowe: of. That fear keeps us safe.

00:03:42.953 --> 00:03:48.953

Kevin Lowe: But in this context, talking about things like asking someone out on a date,

00:03:49.353 --> 00:03:56.753

Kevin Lowe: things like you deciding to apply for the job, things like you stepping out on stage.

00:03:56.953 --> 00:04:01.793

Kevin Lowe: My friend, we have to embrace the fear. We have to go into it,

00:04:01.953 --> 00:04:05.193

Kevin Lowe: lean into it. just like a plane taking off.

00:04:05.393 --> 00:04:10.533

Kevin Lowe: So in this context, fear, it's not the enemy. It's the driving force.

00:04:11.113 --> 00:04:15.693

Kevin Lowe: And the way you know if it's something that's truly meaningful,

00:04:15.993 --> 00:04:20.213

Kevin Lowe: then you're probably scared about it because it means something to you.

00:04:20.373 --> 00:04:24.773

Kevin Lowe: You've dreamed about it. You've talked about it. You've journaled about it forever,

00:04:24.773 --> 00:04:28.213

Kevin Lowe: for years, probably your entire life.

00:04:28.733 --> 00:04:36.233

Kevin Lowe: But you've always never take an action because you've been fearful. You've been scared.

00:04:36.513 --> 00:04:43.013

Kevin Lowe: But today, I hope that can change because the way in which you can finally have

00:04:43.013 --> 00:04:44.773

Kevin Lowe: the wheels leaving the runway,

00:04:45.213 --> 00:04:50.573

Kevin Lowe: having you take flight is when you can finally reach a moment when you stop

00:04:50.573 --> 00:04:55.173

Kevin Lowe: allowing fear to control your life, that you take control.

00:04:55.433 --> 00:05:00.613

Kevin Lowe: You are in the pilot seat. You have the control knob. It's up to you.

00:05:00.873 --> 00:05:08.313

Kevin Lowe: There's no better way to explain it than by me pointing you back to our two previous interviews.

00:05:08.713 --> 00:05:13.193

Kevin Lowe: Episode 400 literally puts this metaphor into a flight.

00:05:13.473 --> 00:05:20.133

Kevin Lowe: It was my interview with Donald Osborne, a guy who was just a teenager when

00:05:20.133 --> 00:05:22.013

Kevin Lowe: he stepped into an airplane.

00:05:22.253 --> 00:05:28.573

Kevin Lowe: As a teenager, this guy was flying. Talk about putting this to the ultimate

00:05:28.573 --> 00:05:34.473

Kevin Lowe: test, putting fear and worries aside and taking off into the sky.

00:05:34.793 --> 00:05:41.813

Kevin Lowe: Then, if you skip to episode 402 that came out last week, you'll find my interview

00:05:41.813 --> 00:05:44.193

Kevin Lowe: that I had with John Kippen.

00:05:44.333 --> 00:05:50.773

Kevin Lowe: He was a man who stayed hidden from the world for 12 years after a brain tumor

00:05:50.773 --> 00:05:52.673

Kevin Lowe: left half of his face paralyzed.

00:05:53.729 --> 00:05:59.629

Kevin Lowe: He was so scared about what the world would see of him. And yet, what did he end up doing?

00:06:00.069 --> 00:06:03.349

Kevin Lowe: Despite the fear, he took the stage.

00:06:03.669 --> 00:06:08.689

Kevin Lowe: He embarked on a childhood fascination with magic.

00:06:09.029 --> 00:06:14.269

Kevin Lowe: He became a magician at one of the biggest magic houses in California.

00:06:14.669 --> 00:06:21.069

Kevin Lowe: Again, another beautiful example of going against the fear, of allowing fear

00:06:21.069 --> 00:06:23.569

Kevin Lowe: to not stop us, but to drive us.

00:06:23.729 --> 00:06:27.429

Kevin Lowe: That can be the truth for you in your story.

00:06:27.709 --> 00:06:32.229

Kevin Lowe: It's not just for some people. It's not just the case for these two guys.

00:06:32.609 --> 00:06:39.069

Kevin Lowe: It is the case for you as well. What I want you to realize is that you're never going to soar.

00:06:39.269 --> 00:06:43.469

Kevin Lowe: You're never going to take off by sitting inside of the airport.

00:06:43.729 --> 00:06:49.289

Kevin Lowe: You have to step onto the plane. You have to take control and you have to go for it.

00:06:49.449 --> 00:06:54.789

Kevin Lowe: And sometimes you just have to trust what you want bad enough to start before

00:06:54.789 --> 00:07:02.069

Kevin Lowe: you're ready, to speak before the speech is perfect, and to try before you have it all figured out.

00:07:02.189 --> 00:07:07.349

Kevin Lowe: You have to realize that sometimes you have to just start driving.

00:07:08.029 --> 00:07:12.929

Kevin Lowe: Beautiful metaphor of this is have you ever tried to steer a parked car?

00:07:13.269 --> 00:07:15.129

Kevin Lowe: It's next to impossible.

00:07:15.509 --> 00:07:20.149

Kevin Lowe: The steering wheel cannot turn. You have to put the car into motion.

00:07:20.169 --> 00:07:23.949

Kevin Lowe: You have to start driving to be able to start steering.

00:07:24.409 --> 00:07:30.529

Kevin Lowe: My friend, it's the same with your life. It is the same with the dreams and the goals that you have.

00:07:30.649 --> 00:07:35.469

Kevin Lowe: You have to start moving forward and realize that it's all going to work out,

00:07:35.489 --> 00:07:37.989

Kevin Lowe: that you're going to be able to course correct.

00:07:38.429 --> 00:07:44.209

Kevin Lowe: And yeah, the flight, it might be bumpy. You might have turbulence, but you know what?

00:07:44.469 --> 00:07:46.969

Kevin Lowe: You'll be able to smooth it all out in the end.

00:07:47.409 --> 00:07:54.049

Kevin Lowe: And the three most powerful things that are going to come out of this Are you experiencing freedom?

00:07:54.971 --> 00:08:00.611

Kevin Lowe: Purpose, and perspective. And those three things that you can find when you

00:08:00.611 --> 00:08:06.531

Kevin Lowe: finally take off against the fear, again, freedom, purpose, perspective,

00:08:06.891 --> 00:08:09.531

Kevin Lowe: those three things can transform your life.

00:08:09.711 --> 00:08:14.311

Kevin Lowe: Those are the things that will make this next chapter better than the previous,

00:08:14.651 --> 00:08:18.071

Kevin Lowe: if not the best chapter in the entire story.

00:08:18.471 --> 00:08:25.131

Kevin Lowe: So my friend, I believe that for you, that for me, our next best chapter in

00:08:25.131 --> 00:08:29.351

Kevin Lowe: life is on the other side of the thing that scares us the most.

00:08:29.591 --> 00:08:33.471

Kevin Lowe: So whatever that thing is for you, that's what I want you to put your focus

00:08:33.471 --> 00:08:38.111

Kevin Lowe: and your intention on, is the thing that scares you, the thing that you don't

00:08:38.111 --> 00:08:42.871

Kevin Lowe: want to do, but you know deep down inside you were made for.

00:08:44.091 --> 00:08:50.211

Kevin Lowe: So to wrap up today's short little episode, I just wanted to be your pep talk,

00:08:50.531 --> 00:08:55.271

Kevin Lowe: your motivation and boost, your reminder that you, my friend,

00:08:55.311 --> 00:09:00.651

Kevin Lowe: are worth it, that you are so amazing, more amazing than you give yourself credit for.

00:09:01.151 --> 00:09:04.271

Kevin Lowe: And I want you to have the life that you dream of.

00:09:04.391 --> 00:09:12.171

Kevin Lowe: I want the life that I dream of. So today, it's as much a pep talk for you as it is for me, a reminder,

00:09:12.531 --> 00:09:18.691

Kevin Lowe: an encouraging boost to remind us that sometimes we have to face the fear to

00:09:18.691 --> 00:09:21.091

Kevin Lowe: be able to experience the joy on the other side.

00:09:21.311 --> 00:09:26.891

Kevin Lowe: So my friend, to end today's episode, I encourage you to buckle your seatbelt

00:09:26.891 --> 00:09:32.071

00:09:32.071 --> 00:09:34.491

Kevin Lowe: you're dreaming of, it's already circling the runway.

00:09:34.791 --> 00:09:37.411
