0:24

1:25
the first time, welcome.
1:26
But if you're coming back, welcome back.
1:28
So welcome back, everyone, to Inspirations for Your
1:31
Life.
1:31
This is the daily motivational show where growth
1:34
is intentional, strength is sustainable and success is
1:37
built from, yes, guys, the inside out.
1:39
Who am I?
1:40
Oh, sure.
1:40
I'm John C.
1:41
Morley.
1:42
I'm your host, serial entrepreneur, engineer, marketing specialist,
1:45
video producer, podcast host, coach, keynote speaker, graduate
1:48
student and a passionate lifelong blurb.
1:51
Yes, it is really a privilege and pleasure
1:54
to be with you.
1:55
This episode is about a truth most people
1:58
learn too late in life.
2:00
The world doesn't reward the loudest voice in
2:03
the room, although many people think that if
2:06
you're the loudest, you're the squeakiest wheel.
2:08
Well, that doesn't really mean success all the
2:11
time.
2:11
It means annoyance.
2:13
OK.
2:14
And so it rewards the most grounded people,
2:18
not the loudest.
2:20
They may get some attention, but people are
2:23
going to be sick and tired of those
2:24
people.
2:25
Quiet strength isn't weakness, guys.
2:28
It's power under control.
2:32
And today I'm exploring why being unseen, underestimated
2:38
and unbothered is often the greatest advantage you
2:42
can have.
2:42
You might say to me, John, well, you
2:44
know, I just want to do what I
2:46
do because I am who I am.
2:48
Well, that's fine, guys.
2:50
But you're not going to build success.
2:53
You're actually going to build people that don't
2:56
want to talk to you, people that really
2:58
can't stand to get out of your presence.
3:02
Quiet strength, guys, wins long term because it's
3:05
compounding the loud confidence and it burns fast.
3:09
Oh, let me share with you what the
3:11
master is for the week.
3:12
The master is the world rewards the quietly
3:14
strong, not the loudly powerful.
3:17
Series five show six.
3:19
And we're on episode number one.
3:21
Calm confidence builds trust over time when you
3:25
don't need to announce or remove people underestimate
3:28
you.
3:29
And that creates strategic space.
3:31
So, guys, also very grateful.
3:34
This is now I think we've been live.
3:38
I think it's going to be a week
3:39
that we're live with my brand new P1
3:41
6G3.
3:43
You guys all know the horror story that
3:46
happened when I had the P1G from Lenovo
3:49
because their salesperson said, oh, this is going
3:51
to be the greatest.
3:51
But he didn't know his head from his
3:53
butt.
3:54
And I knew that that laptop was going
3:55
to be a problem.
3:56
But I just said, we'll try it.
3:58
If it doesn't work, I'll send it back.
3:59
It did everything great.
4:00
You know what it couldn't do?
4:01
It couldn't stream, couldn't do professional audio.
4:03
It crashed.
4:05
The P1 6G3 is a lean, powerful machine,
4:14
lean, meaning the way it's designed, but not
4:17
on performance, not on performance.
4:20
So, yeah.
4:21
And also it has some new camera angle
4:23
adjustments and stuff.
4:24
So it's really cool.
4:26
So calm people, guys, don't chase control.
4:29
They naturally hold it or what I like
4:31
to say, hold a space for it.
4:33
And when you hold a space for something,
4:35
it basically causes you to not only appreciate
4:40
it, but it causes other people to pay
4:42
attention to you.
4:44
Follow you, like you, share you, and also
4:49
makes them want to, let's say, mimic you
4:53
a little bit because they like what you're
4:55
doing.
4:56
Stillness, guys, attracts trust when you're not reactive.
5:02
People feel safe around you.
5:05
Drama, taxes progress, but quiet consistency builds momentum.
5:11
And I think that's something that a lot
5:12
of people here, they just don't get for
5:16
whatever reason.
5:17
They just don't get it.
5:21
So understanding how listening creates leverage, calm minds
5:25
see patterns that others miss.
5:28
And silence doesn't make you invisible, guys.
5:31
It makes others reveal themselves because when you're
5:36
silent.
5:38
You become more observant, don't you, about what's
5:41
around you, what's going on, just become extremely
5:45
observant, and you just want to be part
5:47
of everything.
5:49
And you learn an awful lot.
5:51
Yeah, you definitely learn an awful lot.
5:54
So quiet people negotiate better because they don't
5:59
lead with what?
6:01
The ego.
6:03
That's right.
6:04
So what is an ego in short?
6:08
Because I know we talk about this a
6:09
lot, but I want to go back and
6:10
kind of explain what an ego is, according
6:13
to Merriam-Webster.
6:14
So an ego is this the self, especially
6:17
as contrasted with another self or the world.
6:20
But what are I guess the best way
6:22
I want to share this with you was
6:23
without giving you a whole psychology lesson.
6:26
What are the parts of our ego?
6:30
Let's do that, OK?
6:32
So we have the id, the ego and
6:34
the superego.
6:35
I'm trying not to make this too psychological.
6:37
The id and the superego are components of
6:40
Freud's psychoanalytic theory.
6:42
I'm sorry.
6:43
The id represents our basic instincts and desires
6:46
seeking immediate gratification.
6:50
The ego is guided by reality.
6:53
OK, so it is the instinct driven, pleasure
6:57
seeking part of the mind focused on immediate
6:59
gratification.
7:00
The ego, the rational mediator that balances the
7:03
id impulses with the real world, the superego,
7:07
the moral conscience representing societal and parental standards,
7:11
striving for ideal behavior.
7:13
How they interact, the ego negotiates between the
7:16
impulsive id and the judgmental superego, often using
7:21
defense mechanisms to reduce conflict or anxiety.
7:24
What's important?
7:25
Freud's model helps shape modern psychology by highlighting
7:28
unconscious motives, the importance of childhood experiences and
7:32
how internal conflicts can affect behavior.
7:37
Yeah, that's I know that's a mouthful there.
7:41
And so the ego burns energy.
7:44
All right.
7:47
Calmness and calm saves it.
7:49
Still waters run deep and deep waters move
7:52
mountains very slowly and steadily and without noise.
7:55
Quiet authority doesn't demand attention.
7:58
It commands respect.
7:59
Let me say that again.
8:00
It doesn't command attention.
8:02
It commands respect.
8:05
Wow, John, that's a that's a real real
8:07
mouthful there.
8:08
I know.
8:10
Being unbothered isn't indifference.
8:14
It's clarity.
8:15
Calm minds decide better and quiet dominance doesn't
8:20
need applause.
8:21
Guys, low ego leads to high execution.
8:26
Stillness sharpens focus.
8:29
Calm outlasts any chaos that we have.
8:33
And I think when we talk about, you
8:35
know, the world and we talk about rewards
8:38
and I've mentioned this before, when we think
8:41
about the world as, you know, rewarding and
8:44
quietly strong, not the loudly powerful, because we've
8:48
always been taught that the squeaky wheel gets,
8:51
you know, gets what it needs, but.
8:54
Not always it may in the beginning, but
8:57
then it doesn't seem to.
9:00
Oh, it doesn't seem to be welcome all
9:02
the time.
9:03
I think that's a hard thing for a
9:05
lot of people to recognize that it doesn't
9:07
seem to be welcome all the time.
9:09
All right.
9:10
And so when we think about this, right,
9:14
we think about being quiet, somebody who's listening,
9:17
somebody who's observing, right?
9:21
Not the loudly powerful.
9:23
Now, the loudly powerful people think of things
9:26
like a fire or some kind of situation
9:28
and somebody yells it.
9:30
It's going to catch your attention and my
9:31
attention, because that's what it's designed to do.
9:33
But what it's not going to do is
9:36
keep our attention for more than 30 seconds
9:38
to a minute.
9:40
Because once we decide that this is really
9:43
not something we have to worry about, like,
9:44
for example, if somebody yells fire, don't do
9:46
that.
9:47
Right.
9:49
People are going to respond.
9:51
Then after a minute or two and we
9:52
realize there is no fire, like, who's this
9:55
guy?
9:55
What is he talking about?
9:56
And then we kind of dismiss it a
9:58
little bit annoyed and aggravated.
10:00
Right.
10:02
So when we think about our own inner
10:04
calmness, calmness.
10:06
When we are calm, we're not reactive.
10:11
Now, I've talked about proactive and reactive.
10:14
We could talk about this in a business
10:16
standpoint.
10:16
We could talk about a personal standpoint, in
10:18
a personal standpoint.
10:20
We want to make sure that in a
10:23
relationship we are.
10:25
Proactive, that means we have open communication, that
10:28
means that we are listening, that means that
10:31
we are recognizing body language.
10:34
And if something doesn't feel right, you know,
10:36
we do we communicate.
10:39
Hey, Joe.
10:39
Hey, Bob.
10:40
Hey, Mary.
10:41
I noticed we were talking about X, Y,
10:44
Z.
10:45
And just so I'm clear about this, what
10:49
you're looking for me to do is get
10:52
rid of everything in the yard or what
10:56
have you.
10:58
No, no, that's not what I want.
11:01
What do you want?
11:02
I want you to get rid of all
11:04
the things on your side of the yard,
11:06
not the whole yard.
11:11
That's a interesting thing.
11:14
But can you think about being quiet for
11:17
a moment?
11:17
Can you think about what that'll mean to
11:19
you?
11:22
What about being quiet in business?
11:29
When we can be quiet in business, we
11:35
have a way.
11:38
Of being able to understand and by being
11:47
able to understand.
11:50
We can actually see the world from a
11:54
different perspective.
11:57
OK, that's pretty neat.
12:08
OK.
12:10
Think about what I mean by that.
12:14
Think about a perspective.
12:21
Just think about it.
12:26
And when you think about it.
12:30
You'll be able to notice if there's a
12:35
shift or if there's a change that's going
12:37
on in your life.
12:39
Right.
12:44
And that shift may not always be.
12:52
What you expected or what somebody else envisioned.
12:58
But one thing is certain when we choose
13:01
to listen, when we choose to focus, our
13:06
world.
13:09
Becomes different.
13:12
When you're listening to people, OK?
13:16
And you're not looking to interject a point.
13:19
I know so many people that when I'm
13:21
having a conversation, it's like they already have
13:23
this question, right?
13:25
And they want to interrupt because they got
13:27
to get the question answered.
13:28
But what they don't do is they don't
13:29
pay attention to.
13:32
My point.
13:34
So they're not really listening to me, are
13:36
they?
13:37
They're kind of listening like with a half
13:40
ear.
13:41
I think that's one of the worst things
13:43
you can do is listen with a half
13:44
ear, right?
13:46
A half ear means that you are hearing
13:49
the conversation.
13:52
But you're not really paying attention to its
13:54
meaning, not really paying attention to its meaning.
14:00
And if you're not paying attention to its
14:02
meaning, then how do you figure out what's
14:05
going on?
14:06
How do you figure out what's happening?
14:08
How do you figure that out?
14:10
And I think the biggest thing I want
14:13
to say to you is that it comes
14:16
down to a presence.
14:19
OK.
14:20
It comes down to a presence.
14:22
And when we can command a presence.
14:27
OK.
14:28
When we can command a presence, something
14:38
happens, something happens to us.
14:45
We become aware of our situation.
14:51
We become non-reactive.
14:54
We become proactive.
14:55
So let's think of it in terms of
14:58
a fire, OK?
14:59
And this is something people always pay attention
15:02
to, right?
15:03
So what if I had to ask you
15:06
this question, guys, what should I do to
15:11
prepare for a fire?
15:15
Like, what should I get?
15:18
What should I plan?
15:21
Does anybody know?
15:23
I mean, I hope you never have a
15:24
fire, number one.
15:25
But are you prepared if one broke out?
15:30
So when I was at school, at college,
15:32
I'm back at school again, but when I
15:34
was living at college.
15:36
And I remember being in the dorm.
15:39
And I remember being it was like our
15:42
junior year and our senior year, I lived
15:44
in the same place, I lived in a
15:46
place where seniors would live.
15:47
My junior year, I was very fortunate.
15:49
That place had air conditioning.
15:50
It was called Park River.
15:54
And I remember.
15:59
Because I wasn't there every week, and I
16:00
remember.
16:02
At like not 10, not 11, like two
16:05
or three in the morning.
16:08
The alarm would go off, OK?
16:14
And.
16:15
First thing, I was like, oh, there's a
16:16
fire, I better just grab everything.
16:18
So first thing I did, the first thing
16:20
is I wasn't prepared, right?
16:22
I grabbed a pair of pants quick from
16:24
from my closet, pair of jeans through a
16:26
sweatshirt on and or just from my jacket
16:28
on.
16:29
So I grabbed a pair of jeans to
16:31
put over my pajamas and I just put
16:34
my jacket on over to stay warm and
16:36
put my shoes on.
16:37
Nature had socks on.
16:38
And I and I don't think I know.
16:41
I don't think I put socks on.
16:42
And I went downstairs and stood outside for
16:45
what it was an hour or a little
16:46
more.
16:47
And then they called us back.
16:48
Turns out one of the Ferrari's fraternities actually
16:53
decided they didn't have to use a toaster.
16:55
They're probably drunk.
16:57
And they were setting the curtains on fire.
17:01
So then we were having more of these.
17:03
We had another one, and I said, you
17:04
know what?
17:05
Because we had a second one.
17:07
And after the second one, nothing really happened.
17:09
It was just kind of somebody setting a
17:10
smoke alarm off.
17:12
So now I say, you know what?
17:13
This has happened too often within like a
17:16
short period of time, like a month has
17:18
happened like two times, two or three times.
17:20
And I said, all right, I got to
17:21
be prepared.
17:22
So when I go to bed at night,
17:23
I'm going to make sure that I have
17:25
my jeans over my chair and my jackets
17:30
ready.
17:30
And if I have to hop out of
17:32
bed, I quick throw my jeans on.
17:34
I could be out with less than a
17:35
minute.
17:38
And the interesting thing about that is.
17:41
It kept happening for a while.
17:43
Now, I was prepared, but many people are
17:46
like, oh, it's not going to happen.
17:47
I'd rather be prepared than be frustrated because
17:49
I'm not ready.
17:51
So let's talk about a fire.
17:53
And it's important thing for everyone here to
17:54
know, because hopefully never had one, but I'd
17:56
like you to always be prepared for one.
17:57
So what do you get?
17:59
Fire safety essentials for your home.
18:01
Smoke alarms, right?
18:03
Some of you have the smoke alarms that
18:05
you have to change the batteries and those
18:07
you have to do basically every time you
18:08
change the clocks, which is twice a year.
18:10
But I recommend putting the ones that I
18:11
think they're like seven or I think it's
18:13
10 years you put them in and you
18:15
put a date on them and you don't
18:16
have to touch them again for 10 years.
18:19
Smoke alarms on every level of your home.
18:21
Test them monthly.
18:24
Fire extinguisher, ABC type in the kitchen, the
18:27
garage and near the bedrooms.
18:30
A fire blanket, especially for kitchens.
18:34
Flashlights, one per room, if possible.
18:37
Some spare batteries.
18:39
Emergency whistle to signal if someone's trapped.
18:42
A go bag.
18:44
Something you can grab in 30 seconds or
18:46
less.
18:48
This is things like copies of IDs, your
18:51
insurance, medical information, paper, maybe things on a
18:54
USB stick, phone charger, power bank, cash, because
18:59
the ATM may be down.
19:01
Medications if you need them.
19:03
N95 or smoke masks like we were talking
19:04
about during the COVID time, right?
19:06
Water and some small snacks.
19:09
Basic first aid kit, clothes and sturdy shoes
19:13
and maybe some pet supplies.
19:15
OK, you already have it to go.
19:16
So throw everything on, you pick up the
19:18
bag and bam, you're out.
19:21
What else do you need to plan so
19:22
that you can have things so that you
19:23
could save lives?
19:24
Well.
19:26
First of all, you should always make sure
19:27
that, you know, two ways out of your
19:29
location.
19:30
If you're going on a trip, maybe you're
19:31
at a hotel.
19:32
Take a minute or two.
19:34
Look at the, you know, look at the
19:35
evacuation plan and figure out two ways to
19:38
get out of your room.
19:39
That's the first thing I always do when
19:40
I check into a hotel.
19:43
Practice getting out in the dark.
19:48
So a lot of hotels that I go
19:50
to, you know, they're pretty well lit up,
19:54
but at home, I have lights that come
19:56
on when it's dark and things like that.
19:59
And some lights that come on that don't
20:01
need power, right?
20:02
They basically come on when there's no power.
20:04
They're rechargeable.
20:05
And so practice getting out in the dark.
20:09
All right.
20:10
Designate a meeting spot, everyone.
20:12
This is really important.
20:14
Outside, tree, mailbox, neighbor's house.
20:18
The first time I learned about the meeting
20:19
spot and after I learned about it, we
20:21
started doing it at home.
20:22
Was that we created one was at school.
20:25
We had a designated meeting spot.
20:26
Every time you were in a different grade,
20:29
each classroom had a different meeting spot.
20:33
So not such a big deal when you
20:35
were in like, you know, K through, let's
20:38
say third or fourth grade, but you still
20:41
had gym from like, you know, first to
20:44
four and up.
20:45
So you'd have a different evacuation in gym
20:48
when we got into classes that are like
20:50
fifth grade through eighth grade.
20:51
Well, now I could be in maybe four
20:54
different classrooms possibly.
20:56
OK.
20:58
And I could also be in the gym.
21:02
And so now we had to know, how
21:04
do you get out of that situation?
21:05
How do you get out of that safely?
21:07
That was really important.
21:08
So we had fire drills a couple of
21:10
times a month, not because we didn't have
21:12
to get out of the building, but because
21:15
it was different depending on where we were
21:18
situated, what class we were in.
21:19
For example, if I was in gym class,
21:22
first thing we were to do is to
21:24
go right out one of the doors to
21:26
our left or to our right.
21:27
And our gym spot was right outside.
21:29
And we had a spot that we'd meet
21:30
every classroom.
21:33
OK, the location had a spot.
21:35
If you were in the kitchen, you'd be
21:36
over here.
21:37
If you were here.
21:38
The reason I say that is I volunteered
21:39
and I helped with the they call it
21:43
the basically called it the pretzels.
21:46
You're probably familiar with this, the Boston pretzels.
21:48
So we had those at our school.
21:50
And if I was in the kitchen helping
21:52
with that and we had to get out,
21:53
there was a place we have to be.
21:55
So those are very, very important things.
21:58
Communicate your OK.
21:59
So the most important thing, know where it
22:00
is.
22:01
Designate a meeting spot and never, ever, ever
22:03
reenter the building for any reason whatsoever.
22:06
Even if somebody's in there, a loved one,
22:07
tell the emergency people, don't you go back
22:10
in because now we have to worry about
22:11
getting that person out and getting you out.
22:13
Just tell whoever's there and they will take
22:15
care of it.
22:16
Trust me.
22:17
Um, make sure you have ice in case
22:20
of emergency.
22:22
Now, this is important to have evacuation plan
22:26
we talked about.
22:27
Know the two routes.
22:28
Keep your gas tank full.
22:30
Store essentials where you can grab them fast.
22:33
If they're ordered in a moment to evacuate,
22:36
you can go early.
22:38
What to do before, during and after, before
22:41
a fire.
22:42
Clear dry leaves, debris near home.
22:45
Don't overload outlets.
22:46
Unplug unused appliances.
22:48
Keep flambles away from heat sources.
22:50
Close bedroom doors at night.
22:52
And this was slow fire spreading during a
22:55
fire.
22:56
Get low.
22:57
Right.
22:57
Drop.
22:58
You've heard the stop, drop and roll was
23:00
a great commercial they had on many years
23:01
ago.
23:02
Stop, drop and roll.
23:04
Get low.
23:04
Smoke rises.
23:05
Feel the doors before opening them.
23:07
Hot equals don't open.
23:09
Cold equals open.
23:10
If it's hot, go another way.
23:12
Close doors behind you.
23:13
Call 911 once it's safe.
23:15
If closed, catch fire.
23:16
Stop, drop and roll.
23:18
OK.
23:19
If someone, let's say, sees a small fire.
23:24
Only if you think it's safe and you're
23:26
able to put it out, pull the pin,
23:29
aim low, squeeze and sweep back and forth.
23:32
OK.
23:33
If it doesn't go out immediately, leave.
23:35
OK.
23:36
Do not return until authorities say it is
23:39
safe for you to go back into the
23:41
building.
23:42
Document damage for your insurance company.
23:44
Watch for smoke inhalation symptoms.
23:46
Very, very important.
23:48
Special situations, wildfires.
23:51
Keep windows, doors closed.
23:53
Wear a mask if air quality is poor.
23:55
Prepare to leave hours earlier than you think.
23:59
Apartments.
23:59
Know your stairwells.
24:01
Never elevators.
24:02
Know if you should stay put.
24:05
Some high rises tell you to do that.
24:07
Or if you should evacuate.
24:09
Pets never leave them behind if possible.
24:12
Keep carriers accessible.
24:13
Practice loading them quickly.
24:15
OK.
24:17
If you do nothing else, I want you
24:20
to do this today.
24:21
Stand in your bedroom and time how long
24:24
it takes you to get outside.
24:27
If it's more than 60 seconds, you better
24:30
fix that.
24:33
OK.
24:34
The thing is, if you live on a
24:36
high floor, it might take you some time,
24:40
OK, to get out.
24:42
So getting out might take you.
24:44
So literally, you know, you can you can
24:46
now I'm talking.
24:47
They always say walk, don't run.
24:49
OK.
24:50
Because somebody could fall and he get hurt.
24:53
Typically, you can usually get to your stairs
24:55
if you're in a in a building, an
24:57
apartment building, usually within less than 10 seconds.
25:01
OK, 10, 20 seconds.
25:03
That means you should be able to get
25:05
out of the building OK.
25:08
In under a minute.
25:10
You can do this.
25:11
OK.
25:12
That's important to understand.
25:14
Very, very important to understand.
25:17
But the other thing I want you to
25:18
do, too, is I want you to come
25:19
up with an evacuation plan.
25:22
I want you to write it down.
25:23
I want you to publish it, share it
25:25
with not just your family, but even your
25:27
visitors when they come over.
25:29
Have it posted somewhere.
25:30
I know this sounds corny, but hey, if
25:32
it saves lives, it's important, guys.
25:35
It is important.
25:38
And a lot of places, sometimes places are
25:40
big and you think you're going out.
25:42
But maybe that room doesn't go out.
25:43
Maybe that room just goes into another room.
25:46
So this is why a lot of places,
25:47
even large homes and mansions have signs that
25:50
say where the exit is.
25:52
Right.
25:53
I mean, I think that's a I think
25:54
that's a great idea.
25:55
I think of a house is too big.
25:57
I think it should definitely have exit signs.
25:59
Mansions definitely need exit signs.
26:01
Right.
26:01
You think you're getting ready to go out
26:02
and really what you did, you just got
26:05
yourself back into a loop again.
26:07
So here's the truth, everyone.
26:09
The loud often peaks very early and it
26:11
catches people's attention.
26:13
All right.
26:13
The quiet, though, endures quiet power.
26:18
Scales, silent progress always compounds.
26:24
Calm confidence will continue to last.
26:28
And you'll have your composure.
26:31
There's always going to be people at emergency
26:33
situations that are going to panic.
26:36
There's enough people that panic already.
26:38
We don't need you to panic, too.
26:40
Right.
26:41
So obviously, we don't want people to panic.
26:43
But if we can keep you from panicking,
26:45
then we could probably keep a lot of
26:47
other people from panicking.
26:48
But some people are just going to panic.
26:50
All right.
26:51
You try to reassure them, but they might
26:52
not.
26:54
If you've ever felt overlooked, maybe underestimated or
26:59
maybe even unseen.
27:02
This was the episode for you.
27:03
And it's a reminder that you don't need
27:05
to be louder so you can catch people.
27:08
You need to be steadier.
27:09
Hey, guys, this has been Inspirations for Your
27:12
Life, the Daily Motivational Show.
27:13
I'm John Seymour, a serial entrepreneur, reminding you
27:16
that quiet strength isn't the absence of power.
27:20
It's power that knows exactly when to move
27:22
and it might just save your life.
27:25
There's more great Inspirations for Your Life and

27:36
Remember, ladies and gentlemen, preparing for a fire
27:38
or being proactive is not something you do
27:42
once.
27:43
It's something you do over and over again,
27:44
because when you're reactive, you are stressed, you
27:48
are bound to make mistakes.
27:51
And that mistake could cost your life.
27:54
Have yourself a great one, everyone, and I
27:56
will catch you real soon.
27:58
And remember, don't be loud, be quiet and
28:01
do it intentionally.
