  Speaker 1: Greetings, greetings and welcome.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Welcome back.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: This is Take Action Tuesday, here on the Sweet Spot, and thank you.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Thank you, beautiful souls.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for coming back and joining me.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: I'm your host, dr Derek Sweet.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: We are having a blast and every day this week we're going to be taking some kind of a powerful action to move us forward.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Today being Take Action Tuesday, we're going to use the theme Do Something About it.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: So, beautiful souls, you know that I'm a board certified psychiatrist.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: You know that I work in high performance and you know that I love aligning myself with individuals who want to live the life they love and want to live out their purpose at the highest possible level.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm all about, and I meet so many cool people like yourself on the same journey, doing the same thing, and that's why we vibe, that's why we have this synchrony and that's why we are in the sweet spot.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Welcome.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Today is Take Action Tuesday.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: And here's the truth what holds us back isn't laziness, it isn't lack of motivation.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Often it's hesitation.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: We hesitate, we stall because we're afraid of messing up.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: We stall because we think we need more confidence first.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: We've got to find that confidence.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: My own head, trying to make things perfect before I make my move.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: But action, my friends.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Action, action, not planning.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Action, action, not perfection.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Action is what moves the needle and, as my wife, darcelle, often says, done is better than perfect.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: So you've got to take some actions.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: And you know, when you hear these phrases in real time and you spend a moment in reflection, you can literally trace them back to ancient wisdom.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I want to share with you a biblical verse that often gets me going, and it's this.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: It's in James, the book of James, 2, verse 17.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Faith without action is dead.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: It couldn't be more blunt.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: The verse is fire, because it reminds me that faith is not a passive thing.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: You can pray, you can hope, you can visualize, you can do deep breathing, you can affirm all day.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: But if you don't get up and you don't take that step, if you don't take an action, you know what happens to the faith.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: It just sits there with you, it dries up right there in your hands.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: It does nothing.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Faith without action is dead.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: You don't have to have it all figured out.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: That's what this is telling me.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: It's telling us that you just have to move in the direction of what you believe and faith will be the spark.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Let faith be the spark and let your action be the flame.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: You know, also in mindfulness they have a quote the way to do is to be and at first glance, when I first heard this, it sounded backwards, right, but it's quite powerful if you slow down to think about it, because what you do should come from who you are.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: When your actions are aligned with your values, when our movements are aligned with what we truly are and feel and believe, everything becomes more meaningful.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: So if you believe in kindness, act it out, be kind.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: If you believe in purpose, show up in your purpose, show up with it.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Let your being and who you're being guide your doing.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: We are human beings and that's the mindfulness lane.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I kind of like that.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: It's kind of cool.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: And look for my sports friends out there.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Wayne gretzky said it best you miss a hundred percent of the shots you don't take.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: It's a perfect quote for take action tuesday, isn't it?
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: You miss 100 of the shots you don't take.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: It's a perfect quote for Take Action Tuesday, isn't it?
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: It's a classic quote, it's undefeated.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: You can Look, you can have the skills, you can have the dreams.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: You can have the goals, the connections, but if you don't shoot the ball, if you don't hit the puck, if you don't shoot your bow and arrow, take your shot, nothing happens.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I think Albert Einstein had a quote until something moves, nothing happens.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Until we take an action, nothing is going to happen.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Not taking the shot is the only guaranteed miss.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Do you get that?
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: And most of the time, the fear of failure is just our brains trying to protect us from the risk associated with growth.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Take the shot, you just might hit it.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Why not?
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: So here's a question what have you been sitting on?
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: That project, that phone call, that doctor's visit, that conversation you keep rehearsing in your head, but you never really say it to the person, that class, that you want to take the career shift you need to make, going to your next level in your performance.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: What is it?
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: No matter what it is, I'm going to tell you this on Take Action Tuesday you don't have to leap across the whole ocean.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Stop thinking about it as this big thing that you have to do.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: You just have to do.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: You just have to get your feet wet.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Just get your feet wet.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: So many people don't want to jump into the pool, of course, because it can be kind of cold.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: But if you get your feet wet and you kind of ease in, not too bad.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: If you're not a plunger, you don't want to just plunge in, get your feet wet, and that's progress.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: So here's the Take Action Tuesday challenge.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: One move, one call, one bold act today on Take Action Tuesday.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: What's your bold act?
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Let your faith breathe through your behavior.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Don't let it be an intellectual exercise.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Don't just keep saying how much faith you have or that you need more faith.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Take action, let your beliefs walk into the room with you, because faith without action, right, it's nothing, it's just potential sitting in neutral.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: So this is the sweet spot, and here, at the sweet spot, we believe.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I believe in you.
