The Thing You're Avoiding Is EXACTLY What You Need (S5) S37:E2 Sunday · Inspirations for Your Life

0:25
Well there, hello everyone, and welcome once again
0:28
to the ever-popular Inspirations for Your Life
0:30
show.
0:30
I'm so glad you decided to join me
0:32
here today.
0:33
It is Sunday, it is September 6th, 2026,
0:37
and we're enjoying the long, how can we
0:41
say here, yes, Labor Day weekend.
0:47
So hopefully you guys are having a good
0:49
time.
0:50
First of all, if you have never been
0:53
here before, I want to take the opportunity
0:55
to say welcome, and of course I want
0:56
to say the words thank you to you.
0:58
I really do appreciate you decided to join
1:00
me here today.
1:02
If you've been here one time, five times,
1:04
ten times, a hundred times, or maybe even
1:07
more, I'd like to say thank you, but
1:10
I'd also like to say these words.
1:11
I'd like to say the words welcome back.
1:14
I really do appreciate that you have decided
1:16
to join me here, and we have another
1:20
great show for you.
1:21
So we'll get into that in just a
1:23
moment.
1:23
If you have not checked out BelieveMeAchieved.com,
1:26
what are you waiting for?
1:27
Go check that out after the show is
1:29
over.
1:29
If you're thirsty, if you're hungry, or what
1:31
have you, feel free to go grab something
1:33
and come on back.
1:35
I've got a delicious, nice tall glass of
1:38
fresh orange juice.
1:44
Here, here, and that's really good.
1:46
All right, let's get this show kicked off,
1:49
shall we?
1:49
All right, everyone.
1:50
Again, like I said, welcome.
1:52
It is so great to have you here.
1:54
The thing you're avoiding is exactly what you
1:57
need.
1:58
Series 5, show number 37, episode number 2.
2:02
This is a Sunday.
2:04
Before we kick off the show, you know
2:05
what we do on Sundays and we do
2:07
on Thursdays.
2:09
We actually give a shout out to a
2:11
local coffee or restaurant shop.
2:13
Even though I am in Florida, I'm still
2:15
going to give a shout out to a
2:16
coffee shop in New Jersey.
2:19
Today, I'm giving a shout out to Forum
2:21
Coffee.
2:22
That's F-O-R-U-M-C-O
2:23
-F-F-E-E.
2:25
They're located in a lot of different places.
2:28
To be honest with you, they're located in
2:29
Bloomfield, Hoboken North, Hoboken South, Little Falls, Livingston,
2:36
Fairfield, East Hanover, Madison, Raritan, Hillsdale, Jersey Sea.
2:40
The one I'm going to pick on right
2:42
now is going to be the one in
2:43
Little Falls.
2:45
178 Nork, Pompton, Turnpike in Little Falls Township,
2:50
07424.
2:52
Unfortunately, we did miss them.
2:53
They closed Monday through Friday.
2:55
They're open 6 a.m. to 7 p
2:56
.m. and Saturday to Sunday, they're open from
2:58
7 a.m. to 7 p.m. You
3:04
can always find more locations by going to
3:07
forumcoffee.com.
3:09
All right, guys.
3:11
What I want to tell you about Forum
3:14
Coffee is an interesting little place.
3:18
They have all these different kinds of coffees.
3:20
Basically, they talk about shopping their beans from
3:23
Guatemalan beans to Sumatra beans, all these different
3:27
kinds of beans.
3:27
They have single origin coffee, dark roast coffee,
3:31
medium roast coffee.
3:33
They even have the ability to do wholesale.
3:36
It looks like to me, let me just
3:38
see what they have on their menu here.
3:40
It looks like they have a ...
3:42
Let me see here what kind of menu
3:43
they have.
3:45
I'm just clicking on their more.
3:46
Sometimes when you click on menu ...
3:48
There we go.
3:49
On their menu, as I just pulled it
3:51
up, it's taking a second for their site
3:54
to load because it's actually done with Square.
3:56
Square site, probably from their Square POS.
3:59
It's taking a minute for it to load
4:02
so I can tell you exactly what they
4:03
have.
4:04
This is taking a very long time to
4:07
load.
4:07
It shouldn't be taking that long, guys.
4:10
I'm on the Square.
4:13
It looks like we're here.
4:15
Finally, we loaded.
4:18
I'm just saying, view the menu.
4:23
I'm going to put here.
4:25
I'm just going to put the zip code
4:26
in here and pop it in this thing
4:29
here.
4:29
I'll choose the store that we want.
4:32
Here it is.
4:34
They have ice lattes, smooth organic espresso combined
4:39
with milk.
4:39
They've got ice matcha lattes.
4:42
They have ice French toast lattes, cloud espresso
4:46
coconut, signature seasonal drinks, peppermint mocha latte, gingerbread
4:51
latte, French toast latte, ice chocolate covered strawberry
4:55
latte, chocolate covered strawberry latte, a cloud espresso
4:59
coconut, ice French toast latte.
5:02
They have hot coffee in a box.
5:07
What else do they have here?
5:09
Box of boppy, they call it, which is
5:11
decaf coffee, 120 ounces.
5:13
Well, that's a pretty big box.
5:15
They've got cold brews, cold brew floats.
5:19
They got ice cannoli latte.
5:22
That's interesting.
5:23
An organic nitro cold brew.
5:27
It looks like just that.
5:29
They have some hot teas, tangerine, ginger, and
5:32
some other ones.
5:33
I'm looking to see if they have any
5:35
snacks, like any kind of pastries.
5:38
And from what I can see here, guys,
5:39
I'm looking.
5:40
They have a very, very long menu.
5:43
I'm looking here.
5:43
It says bottled drinks.
5:44
I see bottled drinks.
5:46
I go to the very bottom.
5:47
Oh, retail.
5:48
Here we go.
5:49
Retail coffee, retail snacks.
5:51
They got bejorn popcorn.
5:54
Not even sure what that is.
5:55
Hampton granola organic, masa tortilla chips, cobanero, unreal
6:03
candy they have.
6:05
And again, their site's all done under the
6:07
square because they probably take square to the
6:10
store.
6:10
So they're mostly about coffee and things like
6:13
that.
6:15
They have a most popular item on their
6:17
menu and they have a more.
6:18
So what it does have, I did just
6:21
find, it was a little tricky getting to
6:23
it.
6:24
If you go to more and you go
6:25
to pastries, they do have pastries.
6:27
So they do have it just a little
6:29
troubling to find it.
6:29
They have crumb cake, they have monkey bread,
6:32
delicious pull apart cinnamon bread made fresh daily
6:35
and drizzled with icing.
6:37
They have, as I said, they have half
6:40
crumb cakes.
6:41
They have, so they do have a couple
6:44
pastries.
6:46
So that's kind of nice.
6:47
And they have an entire crumb cake.
6:50
So you can get an entire crumb cake
6:52
that serves 24 for $8, or you can
6:56
get a crumb cake for 5.50 or
6:58
a half crumb cake for 12, serving 12.
7:02
Okay.
7:02
That's a pretty big crumb cake.
7:04
All right, guys.
7:04
So shout out to you guys.
7:05
And the reason I'm shouting out to you
7:07
is we'll hope you'll visit jcmacademy.com and
7:10
choose to check out our site, go to
7:12
the option on the far right.
7:15
So once you get to jcmacademy.com, you'll
7:17
see there be an option on the very
7:19
far right that says contact us in there,
7:22
just put in your information and let us
7:25
know that you'd like to host us to
7:26
do a live show at your place.
7:29
We'll then do a live author talk after
7:33
the show.
7:34
We'll do an author, basically a Q&A
7:38
and then we'll do an author signing.
7:40
So again, welcome everyone.
7:41
Welcome to the ever popular inspirations for your
7:44
life show.
7:44
Who am I?
7:45
All right.
7:45
I'm John C.
7:46
Morley.
7:47
I'm a serial entrepreneur.
7:48
I'm an engineer.
7:49
I'm a marketing specialist, video producer, podcast host,
7:51
coach, keynote speaker, graduate student at Montclair State
7:54
University, and so grateful now to be a
7:57
published author.
8:02
That's delicious, guys.
8:03
So our master topic, in case you guys
8:05
forgot about it, this week, your next level
8:08
will demand a different you.
8:11
So today I'm talking about avoidance.
8:16
Sometimes we're already there and we know what
8:19
needs our attention, but we keep moving it
8:21
to tomorrow, always another time.
8:24
Maybe it's a conversation, decision, a project, a
8:27
question, or a truth we don't want to
8:28
face.
8:30
Avoidance can provide temporary comfort, but comfort doesn't
8:33
solve anything.
8:34
Let's get into our 30 points, shall we?
8:36
So number one, pay attention to what you
8:37
keep postponing.
8:39
Repeating postponement tells you something.
8:42
If the same thing keeps moving to tomorrow,
8:45
ask yourself why?
8:46
Understand the resistance so you can actually address
8:48
it.
8:49
All right.
8:49
Number two, avoidance makes small problems larger.
8:53
Many problems are easier when handled early.
8:56
A misunderstanding becomes resentment.
8:58
A small task becomes an emergency.
9:00
Handle things while they're manageable.
9:03
Number three, stop confusing relief with resolution.
9:07
Avoidance can make you feel better immediately.
9:10
You don't make the call or confront the
9:12
issue.
9:13
That's temporary relief, not resolution.
9:16
Number four, the conversation you're avoiding still exists
9:20
tomorrow, guys.
9:21
I think some people forget that.
9:26
Nothing like cold juice.
9:28
Not having the conversation doesn't eliminate the reason
9:31
it needs to happen.
9:33
A respectful conversation today could prevent weeks of
9:36
unnecessary tension from growing.
9:39
Number five, face facts before circumstances force you
9:42
to.
9:43
Reality eventually demands attention.
9:46
Look at the facts while you still have
9:48
time to think, prepare, and make those choices.
9:53
Number six, stop hiding behind being busy.
9:57
Busy can become a convincing form of avoidance.
10:02
You can complete 20 minor tasks while avoiding
10:05
the one thing that actually needs your attention,
10:09
your resistance, maybe pointing toward growth.
10:13
Not every uncomfortable thing is worthwhile.
10:15
Number seven, but resistance deserves examination.
10:19
Sometimes we resist something because it pushes us
10:21
beyond what's familiar.
10:24
Number eight, do the uncomfortable thing before it
10:27
becomes urgent.
10:29
Urgency removes choices, guys.
10:32
Handle important things before deadlines or consequences force
10:35
you to do that.
10:37
Temporary discomfort now can prevent chaos later, so
10:40
why not pay attention to that because it
10:42
becomes a real problem?
10:45
Number nine, stop allowing fear to manage your
10:48
calendar.
10:50
Look at what fear keeps rescheduling.
10:52
Monday becomes Friday.
10:53
This week becomes next month.
10:55
Your calendar should reflect your priorities, not your
10:58
fear, guys, not your fear.
11:00
Number 10, name what you've been avoiding.
11:04
Get specific.
11:05
What exactly are you avoiding?
11:07
Name it and remove it.
11:10
Assume it's mystery and let it give you
11:12
something concrete to now address.
11:14
Number 11, make the call.
11:17
Sometimes the next move, pick up the phone.
11:21
You might not know how it will go,
11:23
but afterward, you'll have information instead of imagining
11:28
possibilities.
11:29
Number 12, start the application.
11:32
Maybe it's applying for a new job, school,
11:35
a program, or an opportunity.
11:37
Don't reject yourself before somebody else even gets
11:41
the chance to consider you.
11:43
Start.
11:44
If you don't start, you can never grow.
11:48
Number 13, have the conversation, guys.
11:51
Some conversations become heavier every day they're postponed.
11:56
Be respectful, prepared, and willing to listen.
11:59
Courage and kindness can exist together, guys.
12:02
They can.
12:03
I think a lot of people don't realize
12:04
that, but they can.
12:06
Number 14, open the document, the proposal, assignment,
12:11
manuscript, report, or project you've been avoiding.
12:15
It doesn't have to be finished today, guys.
12:17
Remember, it doesn't have to be finished today.
12:19
Open it and begin it.
12:20
Start it, right?
12:22
Start it.
12:23
Don't just say, I'm going to do it
12:24
tomorrow, but then you never really do anything,
12:27
right?
12:28
I think those are important things that we
12:32
don't really realize.
12:34
Number 15, guys, I invite you please to
12:38
ask the question.
12:40
We sometimes avoid questions because we're afraid of
12:42
the answer, but uncertainty can consume more energy
12:45
than reality.
12:47
Ask and then work with the information.
12:50
That's the key, guys.
12:52
Ask the question, and then you'll get an
12:54
answer.
12:56
Number 16, admit what isn't working right now.
13:00
We become attached to plans, routines, and strategies.
13:04
Admitting something isn't working doesn't mean everything was
13:08
wasted.
13:09
It means you're paying attention.
13:11
I think these are good signs to let
13:13
us know that maybe we're on a path
13:15
to making a change, and that change might
13:19
be the success that we've been waiting our
13:21
whole life for.
13:22
Number 17, stop preparing forever.
13:27
Preparation is a valuable thing until it becomes
13:30
a hiding place.
13:32
Yes, until it becomes procrastination.
13:36
Eventually, another video, a book, a checklist, or
13:39
planning session becomes delay.
13:42
At some point, you got to begin.
13:45
I know this happened to me with writing
13:46
my first book.
13:47
I kept outlining and outlining.
13:48
I said, okay, John, enough's enough.
13:50
I need to stop outlining.
13:51
I outlined enough.
13:52
I need to start writing the book.
13:55
Number 18, action reduces uncertainty.
13:58
Thinking can only take you so far, guys.
14:00
Action creates information, and information allows you to
14:03
make better decisions.
14:05
That's important.
14:06
Number 19, avoidance creates imaginary monsters.
14:11
When we don't know what will happen, our
14:14
minds fill in the blanks, unfortunately, with things
14:17
we may not like.
14:18
The conversation becomes catastrophic, and the task becomes
14:21
impossible.
14:23
Reality is usually easier to work with than
14:26
our imagination.
14:28
Because sometimes we take our imagination, and we
14:30
send it down a pathway.
14:32
We don't want to go.
14:35
Number 20, difficult truths become easier once they
14:40
are faced.
14:43
And they're probably not even a tenth of
14:45
difficult or as bad as you thought they
14:47
were.
14:48
The truth may still be uncomfortable, yes, but
14:52
now you're dealing with something real.
14:54
Reality gives you something you can evaluate and
14:58
respond to.
14:59
I think that's the most important thing.
15:01
So our actions and how we create reality
15:03
actually affect other people.
15:06
And when that affects people, that affects how
15:09
they respond to us.
15:10
Number 21, stop carrying unfinished decisions everywhere you
15:16
go.
15:18
An unresolved decision can follow you into a
15:22
diner your evening.
15:24
Your weekend, and even, yes, guys, your wonderful
15:27
sleep.
15:28
Making the decision can give you mental space
15:32
back.
15:34
Space that you want.
15:35
That space can be the difference between you
15:38
excelling or you going backward.
15:41
I think those are very important things that
15:44
we have to think about.
15:45
Number 22, handle what repeatedly occupies your mind.
15:50
If the same issue keeps returning to your
15:53
thoughts, well, pay attention to it.
15:56
Determine whether there's an action available and identify
16:00
your next concrete steps.
16:01
The reason it may be coming back is
16:03
because the universe wants you to take action
16:06
on that.
16:08
You know, oh, you know, it doesn't matter
16:10
now, it doesn't matter later, but then you
16:11
realize that you're not getting anywhere because you
16:14
keep stuffing something under the rug.
16:17
And really we have to address that, right?
16:20
We can't just say, oh, I'll just stuff
16:21
it under the rug, we'll worry about it
16:22
later.
16:23
I told you to stuff it under the
16:24
rug, right?
16:26
Number 23, courage often looks ordinary.
16:29
It does.
16:31
Courage isn't always dramatic.
16:34
It can be just sending an email, making
16:37
an appointment, saying no, asking for help, admitting,
16:43
yes, I made a mistake, or saying to
16:46
yourself, I want to start again.
16:48
These aren't hard things, but what happens is
16:52
people procrastinate, people put emphasis on this, oh
16:56
my gosh, if I don't do this right,
16:58
what's going to happen?
16:59
So we put so much emphasis on the,
17:02
what if it goes wrong?
17:03
Well, what if it goes right?
17:05
Right?
17:06
I think that's an important thing.
17:07
So courage doesn't have to be dramatic.
17:09
A lot of people I know have to
17:11
put drama in there because they think it's
17:13
required.
17:13
It's not.
17:15
It is not.
17:17
Number 24, guys, you don't need confidence before
17:21
you begin.
17:22
Confidence frequently comes after action.
17:25
You act while you're uncertain.
17:27
You learn from the experience and you discover
17:30
you're more capable than you ever thought possible.
17:35
I think that's a very important thing.
17:39
Your confidence has been with you the whole
17:41
time.
17:42
It's just, have you trusted yourself enough to
17:45
use it?
17:46
And I think that scares a lot of
17:47
people because maybe they haven't relied on their
17:51
confidence in a while.
17:52
And now they're like, oh my gosh, I'm
17:53
relying on it.
17:53
So what do I do?
17:55
Well, what you do is you use it.
17:58
And when you use it, you're going to
18:00
find out that you're actually good.
18:03
And that's going to reinforce to do more.
18:07
See, whenever people are timid, they basically have
18:11
a little bit confidence, but they don't want
18:13
to use it.
18:14
But the minute they use it and something
18:15
goes right, oh my gosh, it's like, oh,
18:18
why didn't I do this my whole life?
18:19
What was going on?
18:20
Why didn't I do this?
18:21
Okay.
18:21
So these are important things for us to
18:24
realize and things that if we change, we'll
18:27
change our life right away, right?
18:29
Confidence is the key.
18:30
Number 25, guys, give yourself fewer places to
18:34
hide.
18:35
If you know you're avoiding something, remove some
18:39
escape routes, schedule it, prepare what you need,
18:43
make avoidance less convenient and action easier.
18:48
See, when something is comfortable, we tend to
18:53
stay with that warm blanket or that cold
18:56
situation.
18:57
But when something is harder, we're like, oh,
18:59
I don't know if I want to go
19:00
there.
19:01
It's uncomfortable.
19:01
I've told you success lies where things get
19:05
uncomfortable.
19:06
Number 26, deal with reality while you still
19:09
have choices.
19:11
Early action usually gives you more options.
19:14
Waiting often removes them.
19:16
And address the important decisions while you still
19:18
have room to maneuver.
19:20
You too, guys, you have room to maneuver.
19:23
Number 27, stop negotiating with something you already
19:28
know.
19:29
Sometimes you already know the answer, but you
19:32
keep reopening the debate because you don't like
19:35
what it's requiring.
19:38
Eventually, you have to act on what you
19:40
know.
19:42
But you keep coming back and say, you
19:43
know what?
19:43
I don't like the answer, so I'm going
19:45
to keep asking.
19:46
The answer is not going to change, okay?
19:49
Number 28, the breakthrough may be behind the
19:52
thing you're dreading.
19:54
A lot of people have that.
19:57
What you're resisting may contain information, opportunity, closure,
20:00
or growth.
20:01
You won't discover what's there by standing outside
20:04
imagining it, guys.
20:06
You've got to take the action.
20:09
Number 29, freedom often begins with facing something.
20:15
Something.
20:17
There's freedom in finally dealing with something you've
20:20
carried too long.
20:22
It may not instantly become perfect, but you're
20:25
no longer running from it.
20:26
And I think when we admit to ourselves
20:29
what it is, and we've decided we're no
20:31
longer going to run, our life changes for
20:35
the better.
20:36
Now, it does get a little uncomfortable.
20:38
I'm not going to lie to you.
20:39
It gets uncomfortable when we get started.
20:40
But as we start moving through that, it's
20:43
like, wait a minute.
20:44
That actually wasn't as bad as I thought
20:46
it was going to be.
20:47
I can do this.
20:49
Yes, you can.
20:50
And the more you do it, the more
20:52
that your confidence muscle gets strong and says,
20:56
you know what?
20:56
I can do this.
20:58
You're right.
20:59
You can.
21:00
Number 30, do what you've been avoiding and
21:03
discover what's waiting beyond it.
21:07
This brings everything together, guys.
21:09
Think about what came into your mind when
21:12
we started today's show in the beginning.
21:13
What have you been postponing?
21:17
What have you been not doing?
21:20
Don't make a list of 30 things.
21:22
Pick one.
21:24
Maybe you need to make the call.
21:26
Maybe you need to have the conversation.
21:29
Maybe you need to, as I said, open
21:31
the document.
21:33
Maybe you need to submit the application.
21:36
Maybe you need to ask the question.
21:40
Maybe you need to admit something's not working.
21:45
Maybe you need to finally admit to yourself
21:49
you were wrong and you've got to start
21:50
over.
21:53
Whatever it is, identify the smallest meaningful action
21:58
that moves you toward it.
22:01
Then what I mean is avoidance makes things
22:06
appear larger.
22:08
Every day you don't act.
22:10
It gives your mind another opportunity excuse to
22:13
imagine what could happen, what could happen that's
22:16
bad, because your mind's doing that.
22:18
More scenarios appear.
22:20
More questions develop.
22:22
More fear gets attached to something you haven't
22:25
faced.
22:26
Action interrupts that cycle.
22:28
Action doesn't guarantee you'll get the answer you
22:30
want, guys.
22:32
No.
22:33
It moves you from imagination into reality.
22:37
Once you're dealing with reality, you gain information,
22:41
and information helps you make decisions.
22:45
Decisions give you direction and clarity.
22:48
That's very different from allowing fear to make
22:51
those decisions for you.
22:53
Every time you face something difficult, you're also
22:58
creating evidence about yourself.
23:00
You discover you can make an uncomfortable call
23:02
and live through it.
23:04
You can have a difficult conversation and get
23:07
through it.
23:07
You can begin without being completely prepared and
23:10
get through it.
23:11
You can ask a question without knowing the
23:13
answer and get through it.
23:16
You can experience discomfort without allowing it to
23:19
control you, and guess what?
23:21
You're going to live through it.
23:23
And that's where this connects with our master
23:26
topic of the week.
23:27
Your next level will demand a different you,
23:31
a different kind of you.
23:33
Your next level may require a version of
23:35
you who doesn't automatically retreat when something becomes
23:38
uncomfortable, right?
23:40
A version of you who addresses things sooner.
23:43
A version of you who asks.
23:45
A version of you who starts.
23:48
A version of you who can hear an
23:50
uncomfortable truth and still moves forward.
23:54
Growth isn't about becoming fearless, guys.
23:56
It's about becoming less controlled by the fear.
24:00
So after today's show, ask yourself something.
24:04
What am I avoiding right now that I
24:08
already know needs my attention?
24:11
You probably already know the answer.
24:13
Then why not ask?
24:15
What's the smallest real action I can take?
24:18
Not something to think about for another month.
24:21
Something real.
24:22
Make the call.
24:23
Send the message.
24:24
Open the document.
24:25
Start the application.
24:27
Ask the question.
24:29
Schedule the meeting.
24:30
Have the conversation.
24:31
Take one small step, even if it's a
24:33
baby step, guys.
24:35
The thing you've been avoiding may not simply
24:38
be an obstacle between you and where you
24:40
want to go, guys.
24:42
It may be the doorway, and you'll never
24:44
discover what's waiting on the other side while
24:47
you're standing outside avoiding it and procrastinating.
24:50
I think that's an important thing.
24:52
Ladies and gentlemen, I am John C.
24:54
Morley, and this has been another amazing episode
24:57
of Inspirations for Your Life.
24:59
Remember, guys, relief isn't resolution, okay?
25:05
Stop letting fear manage your calendar.
25:09
You'll be glad that you stopped doing that.
25:12
Stop negotiating with something you already know, okay?
25:18
You don't need complete confidence before you begin.
25:22
No, you don't need complete confidence before you
25:26
begin.
25:26
Sometimes you need enough courage to take just
25:29
one action, just one little baby action, okay?
25:36
Just that one action.
25:38
Can you think of one in your head
25:39
right now?
25:39
Maybe one that's been, I don't know, you've
25:41
been milling over for how long?
25:44
Could be days, weeks, months, or even years.
25:49
But let's make today, tonight, or tomorrow the
25:52
time you decide, you know what?
25:55
I'm going to actually take a step, even
25:58
if it's one step, okay?
26:01
Sometimes you need enough courage to take one
26:04
step.
26:06
Face it, handle it, learn from it, and
26:09
you've got to keep moving forward.
26:12
Just agree to take one baby step every
26:15
day.
26:16
It doesn't have to be this colossal step,
26:19
but take one consistent step every day, even
26:23
if it's something small.
26:24
I don't want you to take a big
26:25
step.
26:25
I want you to take small steps, because
26:28
the small steps are what's going to motivate
26:31
you to take another step.
26:32
And again, don't take any bigger.
26:33
Just keep taking small steps, and eventually you
26:36
will get there.
26:37
Rick, oh my gosh.
26:39
See, the things you do in life, the
26:42
small steps lead you to your success or
26:44
lead you to your failure.
26:46
So those small steps can lead you closer
26:48
to your success, okay?
26:49
So as I said, face it, make the
26:52
choice now that you're going to handle it.
26:55
You're going to learn from it, keep moving
26:57
forward, and realize one thing.
26:59
It may not be comfortable, okay?
27:02
But that doesn't mean that you should back
27:04
away from it, because well, it's not comfortable
27:07
for me.
27:09
And I don't want to do anything that's
27:12
not comfortable, because the thing you're avoiding, are
27:18
you ready guys for this?
27:20
Maybe the thing you exactly need in your
27:22
life.
27:24
See, fear is false evidence appearing real, and
27:29
we sabotage ourselves because of fear.
27:34
Fear is this unfortunate thing that robs us
27:39
of our ability to exude confidence.
27:44
A lot of you have confidence, but don't
27:46
let the fear, don't let somebody else's thought
27:48
say, you know what, you can't do this,
27:50
you're not good enough for that.
27:51
Don't do that, guys.
27:53
I hope you have a great rest of
27:55
your day, a great rest of your evening,
27:56
and I'll catch you guys tomorrow for a
27:58
brand new show.
27:58
