• 1:38
  It's series five, show 31.
• 1:40
  Master your choices before they master you.
• 1:43
  Let me say that again.
• 1:44
  Master your choices before they master you.
• 1:49
  And today's granular is how to stop overthinking.
• 1:51
  Series five, show 31.
• 1:54
  Okay.
• 1:55
  And yes, today is going to be episode
• 2:03
  number five.
• 2:05
  Welcome, everyone, to Inspirations for Your Life.
• 2:08
  I am your host, yes, John C.
• 2:11
  Morley, serial entrepreneur, engineer, marketing specialist, video producer,
• 2:16
  podcast host, coach, keynote speaker, graduate student, passionate
• 2:20
  lifelong learner at Montclair State University, and so
• 2:24
  grateful now to be a published author.
• 2:28
  Welcome.
• 2:30
  Friends, have you ever spent so much time
• 2:32
  thinking about a decision that you never actually
• 2:34
  made one?
• 2:35
  We've all done that.
• 2:36
  Well, should I make the decision or should
• 2:38
  I wait or should I make a change,
• 2:40
  right?
• 2:40
  I think that could be a thing for
• 2:42
  a lot of people to think about, like,
• 2:44
  do they want to do that?
• 2:45
  Do they not want to do that?
• 2:46
  I think that's a very, very important thing
• 2:49
  to understand what's going on and why something's
• 2:54
  going on.
• 2:55
  Because I think a lot of people out
• 2:56
  there, I think they get a little bit
• 3:01
  tongue-tied and they keep making changes.
• 3:06
  And they make these changes because they think
• 3:09
  it's going to help them.
• 3:11
  But you know, the problem is that they
• 3:14
  don't really make the changes, okay?
• 3:18
  They don't make the changes.
• 3:19
  They basically procrastinate for a very, very long
• 3:24
  time.
• 3:24
  And I think that's a hard thing for
• 3:27
  a lot of people to realize, is that
• 3:30
  whole concept.
• 3:35
  And I think that's important.
• 3:41
  But it's hard for some people, right?
• 3:54
  And I think a lot of people don't
• 3:56
  know what's happening or why things are happening,
• 4:00
  right?
• 4:01
  And I think that can be a challenge
• 4:03
  for some people because they don't realize that
• 4:04
  they can make the change.
• 4:06
  The change is literally right at their fingertips.
• 4:08
  It's right at their fingertips.
• 4:09
  So overthinking, ladies and gentlemen, often disguised itself
• 4:13
  as preparation.
• 4:14
  But in reality, it can steal the joy
• 4:17
  of opportunities, delay progress, and create unnecessary stress.
• 4:21
  Today, I'm going to explore 30 practical principles
• 4:24
  that will help you think with purpose, take
• 4:27
  action with confidence, and stop allowing hesitation to
• 4:31
  control your future.
• 4:34
  You heard me right.
• 4:35
  Number one, action beats hesitation.
• 4:37
  So take action.
• 4:39
  Thinking has value, but action creates real results.
• 4:42
  Progress begins the moment you take the first
• 4:44
  step, okay?
• 4:46
  Number two, don't chase certainty.
• 4:49
  You rarely have every answer before making a
• 4:51
  decision.
• 4:52
  Learn to move forward with confidence.
• 4:54
  And I think sometimes people, for whatever reason,
• 4:58
  they just get into this loop.
• 5:01
  And I think that's a very hard thing
• 5:05
  for a lot of people to realize, the
• 5:08
  loop, the loop of life, the loop of
• 5:10
  what's going on, and the loop of what's
• 5:12
  really going on for them in their whole
• 5:14
  world.
• 5:15
  And I think sometimes when we think about
• 5:17
  this, we get stuck ourselves.
• 5:20
  So this is really important, guys, understanding this.
• 5:25
  And today, we're really digging into how to
• 5:27
  choose courage over comfort.
• 5:29
  And so when we think about courage, right,
• 5:32
  I think that's a very important thing to
• 5:34
  realize, courage over comfort.
• 5:37
  A lot of us want to be comfortable,
• 5:39
  and we don't understand what's going on, but
• 5:43
  we just know that comfort seems easier than
• 5:45
  other things, right?
• 5:46
  So these are things I think we have
• 5:48
  to understand.
• 5:49
  Every one of us has a choice to
• 5:51
  make.
• 5:51
  We can stay where it's comfortable, predictable, and
• 5:54
  familiar, or we can step into the unknown
• 5:56
  where growth actually happens.
• 5:58
  Courage doesn't mean you're fearless.
• 6:00
  Let me get that straight with you.
• 6:02
  It means you decide that your future is
• 6:04
  more important than your fear.
• 6:06
  Today, knowing this and these principles that I'm
• 6:10
  sharing with you, it'll give us the ability
• 6:12
  to be capable of everything along.
• 6:15
  Number one, growth begins with courage, okay?
• 6:18
  Every meaningful achievement starts with you're willing to
• 6:22
  take the first step, the first uncomfortable step.
• 6:25
  Comfort limits progress, guys.
• 6:26
  Staying comfortable may feel safe, but it rarely
• 6:29
  helps you discover your full potential.
• 6:32
  Number three, face difficult conversations.
• 6:35
  Honest conversations often strengthen relationships and resolve problems
• 6:38
  before they grow.
• 6:41
  Number four, calculated risks.
• 6:43
  Not every risk is reckless.
• 6:46
  Smart risks often lead to your greatest opportunities.
• 6:50
  Number five, believe in yourself.
• 6:53
  Your confidence begins with trusting that you're capable
• 6:56
  of learning and succeeding.
• 6:58
  Number six, learn from failure.
• 7:01
  Failure isn't the end.
• 7:03
  It's valuable feedback that prepares you for future
• 7:05
  successes.
• 7:07
  Number seven, courage builds confidence.
• 7:09
  Every courageous action reminds us that we're stronger
• 7:14
  than our fears.
• 7:15
  What are our fears?
• 7:16
  False evidence appearing real, but they can sometimes
• 7:19
  get in our way.
• 7:21
  Number eight, please stay resilient, even with the
• 7:25
  challenges around you.
• 7:26
  Challenges will come, but resilience allows you to
• 7:29
  recover and keep moving forward.
• 7:31
  That's the key.
• 7:32
  Keep moving forward.
• 7:35
  Choose action, guys.
• 7:36
  Number nine, action creates momentum.
• 7:39
  Waiting rarely changes anything.
• 7:42
  Number 10, overcome that fear.
• 7:45
  Fear doesn't disappear by waiting.
• 7:47
  It becomes smaller every time you face it.
• 7:51
  I think that's something that we can celebrate
• 7:53
  each day is how we face that fear,
• 7:55
  how we can grow from that fear.
• 7:59
  Number 11, guys, build mental strength.
• 8:03
  A disciplined mind helps you stay focused when
• 8:09
  circumstances around us unfortunately become difficult.
• 8:13
  Number 12, please keep moving forward.
• 8:16
  No matter what, keep moving forward.
• 8:17
  Progress isn't always fast, but consistent movement leads
• 8:21
  to lasting results.
• 8:23
  Number 13, your preparation is the key.
• 8:27
  If you put in the work, believe in
• 8:29
  the knowledge and experience you've gained, it will
• 8:32
  happen.
• 8:33
  Number 14, stay determined.
• 8:35
  Obstacles test your commitment, but determination keeps your
• 8:38
  purpose alive.
• 8:41
  Number 15, every challenge teaches.
• 8:45
  Every obstacle contains a lesson that can make
• 8:48
  you wiser and stronger.
• 8:50
  I think that's an important piece for a
• 8:53
  lot of us to think about.
• 8:56
  Number 16, push beyond comfort.
• 8:59
  I'm not saying to be in pain.
• 9:00
  I'm saying to be uncomfortable, okay?
• 9:04
  There's a difference, not pain.
• 9:06
  Growth happens when you challenge yourself to do
• 9:10
  what once felt impossible.
• 9:12
  Every step outside your comfort zone expands what
• 9:16
  you're capable of.
• 9:18
  Number 17, stay disciplined.
• 9:20
  Discipline helps you keep going even when excitement
• 9:24
  fades.
• 9:25
  Consistency turns goals into accomplishments.
• 9:29
  Number 18, keep improving.
• 9:32
  No matter what, you've got to keep improving,
• 9:34
  okay?
• 9:35
  There's always another skill to develop, another lesson
• 9:39
  to learn, and another opportunity to become better
• 9:42
  than yesterday.
• 9:44
  So we have to embrace the good with
• 9:48
  the challenging, right?
• 9:50
  The easy with the difficult or the hard
• 9:53
  parts.
• 9:54
  I think that's a thing that a lot
• 9:55
  of us miss sometimes.
• 9:57
  And when we get past the hard part,
• 10:00
  there's a lot that we can do.
• 10:01
  Number 19, believe in possibility.
• 10:04
  Don't let your current circumstances define your future.
• 10:08
  Great achievements often begin with someone believing they
• 10:12
  are possible.
• 10:14
  Number 20, learn continuously.
• 10:18
  Life is your greatest classroom.
• 10:20
  Stay curious, ask questions, and never, never stop
• 10:24
  growing.
• 10:27
  Never stop growing.
• 10:29
  We want to keep learning.
• 10:31
  We want to keep growing.
• 10:33
  And things are not always going to be
• 10:35
  easy, guys.
• 10:36
  But when we have things that are challenging,
• 10:38
  it allows us to learn from those lessons,
• 10:42
  those setbacks, and to become a better version
• 10:43
  of ourselves.
• 10:45
  Number 21, guys, build resilience.
• 10:49
  Every setback strengthens your ability to handle the
• 10:53
  next challenge.
• 10:55
  Resilience is developed through perseverance.
• 10:59
  Number 22, focus on opportunity.
• 11:03
  Instead of asking what's wrong, ask what's possible.
• 11:12
  A lot of people I know don't ask
• 11:14
  the question of what's possible.
• 11:16
  They ask what isn't possible.
• 11:18
  And I think that clouds a lot of
• 11:19
  people's judgment, you know, why they can't do
• 11:23
  something or why they can't do something.
• 11:25
  But I think that's a very important piece
• 11:31
  to recognize, to understand that whole concept.
• 11:39
  And that concept means that we can become
• 11:44
  better, guys.
• 11:46
  We can become better.
• 11:51
  Maybe you're saying to me, John, you know,
• 11:52
  this doesn't make a lot of sense to
• 11:53
  you.
• 11:54
  But I'm here to tell you, it makes
• 11:56
  plenty of sense, all right, plenty of sense.
• 12:00
  Sense that can really change where you are.
• 12:06
  I think that's a very important thing for
• 12:10
  us to realize, all right.
• 12:14
  It's an important thing to realize that we
• 12:16
  can make that difference in our life.
• 12:19
  But we have to push forward a little
• 12:21
  bit.
• 12:21
  We have to push forward, all right.
• 12:25
  Instead of us asking what's wrong, let's ask
• 12:27
  what's possible.
• 12:28
  Opportunity often hides in the challenges.
• 12:32
  Number 23, stay adaptable.
• 12:36
  Change is inevitable.
• 12:37
  Those who adapt with positive attitudes continue moving
• 12:40
  forward while others remain stuck.
• 12:44
  24, create momentum.
• 12:47
  Success is built one action at a time.
• 12:50
  Small victories create the energy for even bigger
• 12:52
  accomplishments.
• 12:55
  Number 25, I want you to think bigger,
• 12:58
  not because you have to, but because when
• 13:00
  you think bigger, it will make your life
• 13:02
  even better.
• 13:04
  Okay, I think that's a real important thing.
• 13:10
  So think bigger.
• 13:12
  Number 25, don't limit your dreams because they
• 13:14
  seem difficult.
• 13:15
  Your vision should inspire you to grow beyond
• 13:18
  your current abilities, not, you know, get you
• 13:21
  to stop or turn around.
• 13:24
  Number 26, don't fear mistakes.
• 13:27
  You know, growing up, families always say, oh,
• 13:30
  you can't make a mistake.
• 13:32
  Okay, don't worry about making the mistake.
• 13:36
  Worry about doing things that are better for
• 13:38
  you.
• 13:39
  Okay, worry about doing things that are better
• 13:42
  for you.
• 13:45
  I think that's a very important thing for
• 13:49
  us to realize.
• 13:51
  Okay, if we can understand that, then maybe
• 13:57
  our life will be just a little bit
• 13:59
  better.
• 14:00
  Mistakes are part of everyday success stories.
• 14:03
  Learn from them, adjust, and continue moving forward.
• 14:07
  That's the key.
• 14:09
  Number 27, success requires courage.
• 14:12
  Every worthwhile goal demands courage at some point.
• 14:16
  The people who succeed are those who keep
• 14:19
  taking the next step.
• 14:22
  Are you taking the next step or are
• 14:24
  you complaining because of something that you can
• 14:28
  actually master?
• 14:34
  And the reason people don't master things is
• 14:35
  they look for ways for us to be
• 14:38
  involved in excuse.
• 14:40
  A wise person once told me a long
• 14:42
  time ago, if you're not part of the
• 14:48
  solution, then you're part of the problem.
• 14:55
  Make sense?
• 15:01
  I hope that resonates with some of you
• 15:03
  because people say, well, I didn't cause the
• 15:05
  problem.
• 15:06
  I know you didn't cause it, but if
• 15:07
  you're not willing to look at how the
• 15:09
  problem could be better, how you could resolve
• 15:11
  it, then unfortunately you're part of the problem.
• 15:14
  Number 28, guys, stay committed.
• 15:17
  I know it's easy to drop out and
• 15:19
  say, I don't want to be committed.
• 15:20
  I can't be committed.
• 15:22
  You could play those games your entire life,
• 15:24
  but that's a problem.
• 15:27
  That's a serious, serious problem.
• 15:30
  Problem a lot of people won't realize.
• 15:33
  All right.
• 15:34
  Yeah.
• 15:37
  I think when we hit a roadblock and
• 15:41
  it's one that we didn't put there, we
• 15:43
  don't think we can remove it, but actually
• 15:44
  we can.
• 15:45
  See roadblocks are put in our way by
• 15:47
  other people, by their actions, by their thoughts,
• 15:51
  by their own belief of their own worth.
• 15:58
  That's what kills dreams, guys.
• 16:01
  It's not that people aren't, um, it's not
• 16:06
  that they're not able to do things.
• 16:10
  All right.
• 16:15
  It's important.
• 16:21
  And I know that you're probably saying to
• 16:23
  me, John, this makes no sense.
• 16:27
  It makes plenty of sense.
• 16:31
  Okay.
• 16:34
  It makes sense.
• 16:35
  I'm telling you this.
• 16:35
  And the reason I'm telling you this is
• 16:36
  that you can make so many changes in
• 16:39
  your life, but it comes from your belief
• 16:42
  pattern.
• 16:43
  It comes from what you feel you're worth.
• 16:49
  If you don't think you're worth anything, you're
• 16:53
  never going to be anything.
• 16:55
  I don't say that to be harsh.
• 16:56
  I say that to tell you the truth.
• 16:59
  When you change your worth, your life changes.
• 17:06
  Your life changes.
• 17:08
  That's a very important thing.
• 17:12
  All right.
• 17:17
  It's a very, very important thing.
• 17:19
  I hope a lot of you will appreciate
• 17:22
  and will understand.
• 17:36
  I think sometimes people just, they quit.
• 17:42
  But what some people would often say is
• 17:44
  they go home early, right?
• 17:47
  You shouldn't go home early.
• 17:50
  If the job's not done and the task
• 17:52
  isn't completed, why do you go home early?
• 17:55
  I'm tired.
• 17:59
  Nobody recognized me.
• 18:03
  I get this from people at networking events.
• 18:05
  I went there and, well, nobody said hello
• 18:07
  to me.
• 18:08
  Oh, maybe you need to be more engaging.
• 18:13
  We can't judge our worth on other people's
• 18:15
  actions.
• 18:18
  That's a key point, guys.
• 18:22
  Our worth happens internally.
• 18:25
  And as that worth starts to take form,
• 18:31
  it's then shown outside the body.
• 18:34
  I think those are things that a lot
• 18:36
  of people just, they don't realize.
• 18:38
  And they don't even know that that's possible.
• 18:40
  But I want to tell you that it
• 18:42
  is so very possible for you.
• 18:46
  It's possible because with this, you can change
• 18:49
  who you are.
• 18:50
  You can change your life.
• 18:54
  Changing your life might seem hard, especially when
• 18:59
  other people around you are knocking you.
• 19:02
  Maybe they're not praising you.
• 19:05
  Maybe they're even talking out of the other
• 19:07
  side of their mouth.
• 19:08
  They're being two-faced.
• 19:09
  But that doesn't mean you should go home
• 19:11
  early.
• 19:12
  That doesn't mean you should give up.
• 19:13
  That doesn't mean that you should stop doing
• 19:15
  what you're doing, just being honest.
• 19:19
  Number 28, please, ladies and gentlemen, I can't
• 19:22
  emphasize this one enough.
• 19:25
  Please stay committed.
• 19:31
  Stay committed.
• 19:33
  When you stay committed, your life changes.
• 19:40
  Your life changes.
• 19:42
  You start to become more aware of things
• 19:45
  that have always been there.
• 19:48
  But suddenly, they're starting to get you to,
• 19:53
  how can I say, notice them.
• 19:58
  Maybe you saw them, but you didn't know
• 20:01
  what they were.
• 20:01
  Or you didn't think they were for you.
• 20:06
  Maybe what you're doing in life is just
• 20:09
  going through the motions.
• 20:11
  Ever done that?
• 20:15
  Maybe they're just doing things that we're not
• 20:16
  really enjoying the joy of life.
• 20:18
  I was having a conversation with a friend
• 20:20
  of mine who owns a restaurant today, and
• 20:22
  we're talking about how people miss the joy
• 20:24
  and beauty of life.
• 20:28
  And it happens because I think they get
• 20:30
  too stuck in their own ways.
• 20:35
  They don't ground themselves.
• 20:39
  They don't.
• 20:42
  Another problem, right?
• 20:44
  Another problem.
• 20:48
  So I think we have to be conscious
• 20:50
  of these things.
• 20:51
  All right?
• 20:53
  We've definitely got to be conscious of this
• 20:56
  stuff.
• 20:57
  And when we become conscious of it, it
• 21:01
  changes who we are in life.
• 21:04
  See, commitment keeps us focused when directions sort
• 21:12
  of distract us.
• 21:14
  We sometimes call it noise, interference.
• 21:21
  Discipline keeps us on track.
• 21:24
  It's so key, guys, to stay true to
• 21:27
  your vision, to your purpose, your mission, and
• 21:29
  trust your journey.
• 21:33
  Life is a great journey.
• 21:37
  Sometimes you think somebody's journey is supposed to
• 21:40
  encompass you, but then you find out that
• 21:42
  maybe it wasn't.
• 21:44
  And that's perfectly okay.
• 21:46
  Some people are meant to come into our
• 21:48
  lives for a short period of time.
• 21:49
  Some people are meant to stay longer, and
• 21:51
  some people are meant to stay our entire
• 21:52
  lives.
• 21:55
  But the key here for success is not
• 21:58
  allowing that to influence how you live your
• 22:03
  life.
• 22:04
  Number 29, guys, keep believing.
• 22:08
  Believe in your vision, even before others can
• 22:14
  see it.
• 22:14
  I've said this before.
• 22:15
  If you're working on something, it's like the
• 22:18
  plane that's in the hangar or on the
• 22:20
  runway or the boat that's at the dock.
• 22:23
  Or the train that's in the station.
• 22:24
  It's not moving.
• 22:25
  Nobody wants to move toward that.
• 22:31
  But once you start moving, once it starts
• 22:33
  getting on fire, people risk their entire lives
• 22:36
  to jump on board.
• 22:41
  Your belief fuels your determination.
• 22:45
  So what you believe of yourself, your worth,
• 22:51
  your abilities, that affects your determination.
• 22:55
  Number 30, guys, courage.
• 23:02
  Courage changes your future.
• 23:06
  Every courageous decision shapes the person you're becoming.
• 23:13
  When you consistently choose courage over comfort, you
• 23:17
  create opportunities that fear could never provide.
• 23:23
  Fear could never provide them.
• 23:25
  False evidence appearing real.
• 23:31
  False evidence appearing real.
• 23:35
  I feel it's like a crime that we
• 23:36
  do to ourselves when we suddenly don't do
• 23:40
  something because of a belief that we got.
• 23:44
  Let's say, you know, a fleeing belief.
• 23:47
  And that belief changes the whole outcome because
• 23:53
  we lost faith in ourselves.
• 23:55
  When we lose faith in ourselves, we don't
• 24:00
  want to do anything anymore.
• 24:01
  And other people don't want to be around
• 24:03
  us because we're just making excuses for things.
• 24:13
  Those are key, guys.
• 24:16
  When there's a problem, do you try to
• 24:18
  do what you can to solve it?
• 24:19
  Or do you just leave the situation?
• 24:22
  If you leave it, then you're part of
• 24:25
  the problem and not the solution.
• 24:39
  That's a problem, guys.
• 24:42
  How would you think about that?
• 24:50
  How would you respond?
• 24:57
  Just ask yourself that question.
• 25:04
  I think a lot of us, when there's
• 25:08
  not an immediate change or answer, we think
• 25:12
  about something in a different way.
• 25:17
  A different way.
• 25:19
  A way that maybe we didn't know was
• 25:22
  possible.
• 25:27
  Belief is the key, guys.
• 25:29
  Belief is that glue that dries or the
• 25:33
  invisible connector that holds us together.
• 25:36
  It's our belief.
• 25:38
  I want to wrap today up and say
• 25:42
  that choosing courage doesn't mean life suddenly becomes
• 25:46
  easy.
• 25:47
  No, I'm not saying that.
• 25:48
  It means you've decided that growth is more
• 25:51
  important than comfort and that your dreams are
• 25:55
  worth pursuing despite uncertainty.
• 25:57
  I'm living proof of that.
• 25:59
  My book, Train to Driven, about how I
• 26:01
  broke my tip and fib.
• 26:05
  Every challenge you face is another opportunity to
• 26:08
  become stronger, wiser, and more confident.
• 26:12
  Now, I can tell you this.
• 26:15
  When I broke my tip and fib, I
• 26:20
  blocked it all the pain.
• 26:21
  But it was emotionally discomforting.
• 26:24
  Not being able to walk on my own
• 26:26
  fully.
• 26:28
  Not being able to do the things I
• 26:30
  would normally do every day independently.
• 26:32
  That was a shock.
• 26:35
  And I think when we take time out
• 26:38
  to say, wait a minute, this isn't the
• 26:40
  way I want it to be.
• 26:41
  I want to change something, right?
• 26:43
  I want to change how things are.
• 26:46
  And you can.
• 26:47
  You can start right this very moment in
• 26:49
  changing things.
• 26:51
  Choose courage, guys.
• 26:53
  Choose courage.
• 26:55
  That's it.
• 26:57
  I want you to remember something, ladies and
• 26:58
  gentlemen.
• 27:00
  Courage is not reserved for just extraordinary people.
• 27:09
  It's available to anyone willing to take the
• 27:14
  next step.
• 27:18
  So I invite you to have the difficult
• 27:19
  conversation with yourself and accept the challenge.
• 27:31
  Believe in yourself when it matters most.
• 27:36
  You see, every time you choose courage over
• 27:40
  comfort, you're investing in a better future.
• 27:45
  Ladies and gentlemen, I thank you so much
• 27:46

• 27:48
