Speaker 1: There's a little party in the box that we've created
0:02
Speaker 1: called Arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net, 21 different podcasts. Yeah, not just one.
0:08
Speaker 1: This is a total network of every place that you
0:11
Speaker 1: are or could be, from musicians to sports superstars, professional wrestlers,
0:16
Speaker 1: all the way up to what? Whatever you think that
0:20
Speaker 1: you want to listen to today. It's all about just entertainment. Arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net.
0:26
Speaker 1: Enjoy your exploration. Nordine, I'll tell you what, you and
0:29
Speaker 1: I first talked a couple of months ago, and I
0:31
Speaker 1: put your book into active activation. And I'll tell you what,
0:34
Speaker 1: my life has changed because of it. Because what you
0:37
Speaker 1: speak of here is truly a step in the right
0:40
Speaker 1: direction of really having an unlimited life. Because you give
0:44
Speaker 1: us that opportunity to trust ourselves rather than sit and
0:48
Speaker 1: sulk and fear, doubt, and shame. This is a very,
0:52
Speaker 1: very positive book.
0:56
Speaker 2: Thank you.
0:57
Speaker 3: Thank you for doing it, for applying the wisdom of
1:01
Speaker 3: this guide.
1:02
Speaker 2: I call it the guide.
1:04
Speaker 3: Many people are reviewing the book, and I get emails
1:08
Speaker 3: and even phone calls from people who are telling me
1:10
Speaker 3: that they picked up the book and they're not the same.
1:13
Speaker 3: Some call the book a staple. They have it on
1:17
Speaker 3: their nightstand. I read it every single day. I'm telling
1:22
Speaker 3: an error. I think this book, you know, when I
1:26
Speaker 3: read it every morning myself, it reminds me why and
1:32
Speaker 3: who I wrote the book for. And that is myself,
1:35
Speaker 3: you know. And so that's what the power of the
1:40
Speaker 3: New Limits life is.
1:41
Speaker 2: Is uh it's it's it's mind-boggling.
1:45
Speaker 1: Yes don't you love those moments though where you can't
1:47
Speaker 1: figure out really why something is happening to you and
1:50
Speaker 1: then and then all of a sudden you realize oh
1:52
Speaker 1: my god this is supposed to be a lesson for
1:54
Speaker 1: other people because that's what i feel in this book
1:56
Speaker 1: is that you received all of this but you didn't
2:00
Speaker 1: hoard it you're you're sharing it with us that says
2:02
Speaker 1: a lot about your heart sir.
2:07
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
2:07
Speaker 3: You know, this is the product of many years of experience.
2:10
Speaker 3: You know, this is me taking notes throughout my life,
2:15
Speaker 3: whether I was going through a positive or negative situation,
2:19
Speaker 3: working with clients, whether they're celebrities or celebrities.
2:23
Speaker 2: Regular folks.
2:24
Speaker 3: I would stop on the side of the street on
2:28
Speaker 3: the way to buy ice cream for my little kids,
2:31
Speaker 3: and they would say, what are you doing, Dad? And
2:33
Speaker 3: I would say, hey, I got something, and I need
2:36
Speaker 3: to write it down. I need to write it down.
2:38
Speaker 3: And then, of course, the iPhone came out in 2008,
2:41
Speaker 3: made my life a lot easier, take notes.
2:43
Speaker 2: And so one day I said, you know what? This
2:48
Speaker 2: I need to do.
2:49
Speaker 3: Something about this self-development and self-growth industry. And I said
2:56
Speaker 3: to myself, this has to be something easier for people
3:00
Speaker 3: to start their day in a positive way and move
3:04
Speaker 3: forward with their lives. And there has to be something.
3:06
Speaker 3: And so I came up with that quote, reflective text
3:11
Speaker 3: and reflective question and all two actions. You know, that's
3:15
Speaker 3: the most important thing, because this is a call to action.
3:17
Speaker 3: You read something, you know, in the morning or whenever
3:22
Speaker 3: you're reading it, it's a quote that, you know, pops
3:24
Speaker 3: up on your phone and it gives you, it stimulates
3:27
Speaker 3: you for two seconds and then you forget about it.
3:29
Speaker 3: This is not about that. This is about, hey, what
3:32
Speaker 3: does this mean to me? And how does it, how
3:35
Speaker 3: can I apply the wisdom of this.
3:36
Speaker 2: In my own life? That's right.
3:38
Speaker 1: That's right.
3:40
Speaker 3: You prompted a powerful question, a reflective question, and then
3:44
Speaker 3: you go on with a call to action. It's calling
3:46
Speaker 3: you to action. That's what this book does. That's what
3:50
Speaker 3: this guide does. It calls you to action. What are
3:53
Speaker 3: you going to do about it?
3:55
Speaker 2: Yep, yep.
3:56
Speaker 1: I took your book to my master in martial arts
3:59
Speaker 1: and we looked at the front cover and they always
4:01
Speaker 1: tell us, don't judge a book by its cover, but
4:02
Speaker 1: I want you to know what we saw as martial artists.
4:05
Speaker 1: And that is, yes, there is a mountaintop there, But
4:08
Speaker 1: as martial artists, we looked at that and saw no
4:10
Speaker 1: limits life. And my sobbing him looked at me and said,
4:13
Speaker 1: what are you going to do about it? He says,
4:14
Speaker 1: you're going to go around it. You're going to go
4:16
Speaker 1: through the mountain. I said, no, sir, you taught me
4:18
Speaker 1: how to take it one rock at a time. And
4:20
Speaker 1: so when you go through this book and it's 365 meditations,
4:24
Speaker 1: one rock at a time, sir, you have nailed this
4:28
Speaker 1: book cover.
4:32
Speaker 3: Yes, and it's the product of a mutual and teamwork
4:37
Speaker 3: with HarperCollins and HarperCellery. You know, imagine this mountain that
4:43
Speaker 3: you see on the cover is... Actually, the view I
4:46
Speaker 3: have from my window.
4:47
Speaker 1: Oh, my God. Oh, what a beautiful view.
4:50
Speaker 2: Every morning. Yeah, that's exactly what I have. Right.
4:55
Speaker 3: When I wake up in the morning, that's what I see.
4:57
Speaker 3: I'll send you pictures if you want to. But that's
5:00
Speaker 3: how it came up. Yeah.
5:02
Speaker 1: I want listeners to understand how incredible this book is.
5:05
Speaker 1: So for instance, let's look at October 26th. I go
5:09
Speaker 1: in there and right away it says, you're going to
5:11
Speaker 1: teach us about fitness. It's far more than a routine,
5:14
Speaker 1: a discipline and a path. And in my heart, I
5:17
Speaker 1: really felt there are so many people that think, oh,
5:18
Speaker 1: I got to go work out. Oh, I got to
5:20
Speaker 1: work this. I got to work that. No, you tell
5:22
Speaker 1: us that right away. It is, you know, it's more
5:24
Speaker 1: than a routine. It's more than a discipline. And that's
5:27
Speaker 1: your honesty and your transparency when it comes to creating
5:31
Speaker 1: a better us.
5:34
Speaker 2: Absolutely. You know, fitness is a medicine. Yes. This is
5:40
Speaker 2: what people need to understand.
5:42
Speaker 3: We are made to move. We're not made to stay
5:46
Speaker 3: still and do nothing. We're made to move, and there's
5:50
Speaker 3: a reason for that. You see more obese and unhealthy
5:55
Speaker 3: people now than you saw 100 years ago.
5:58
Speaker 2: Why is that?
5:59
Speaker 3: Because people don't move. They don't exercise, and that's the problem.
6:05
Speaker 3: Fitness is medicine.
6:07
Speaker 1: Yes.
6:07
Speaker 2: Yeah.
6:08
Speaker 1: Well, you got me on when you say medicine, because
6:11
Speaker 1: I want this T-shirt. I want this poster. You say
6:14
Speaker 1: start viewing moments as medicine. That changed my life when
6:20
Speaker 1: I read that, because now it's like, oh, I'm in
6:22
Speaker 1: a moment. I'm in a moment. No, it's a medicine moment.
6:25
Speaker 1: And you changed my life with that line.
6:30
Speaker 2: Thank you.
6:30
Speaker 3: Thank you. And that's the goal, to improve people's lives
6:35
Speaker 3: through the simple things, you know, through the simple fact
6:39
Speaker 3: of thinking positive. And I'm sure it sounds corny, but
6:43
Speaker 3: there is such a thing as thinking positive.
6:46
Speaker 2: Even though you're.
6:46
Speaker 3: Going through challenges, you can think positive to be able
6:50
Speaker 3: to change things. what you're going through and that's the
6:54
Speaker 3: power of fitness it gets it gets you moving gets
6:57
Speaker 3: blood flowing to your brain and you feel immediately that
7:01
Speaker 3: sense of well-being.
7:02
Speaker 1: One of the things that a lot of people do
7:04
Speaker 1: you know we're all on this big hunt right now
7:06
Speaker 1: to break through something but i don't think people understand
7:09
Speaker 1: is that it is it's the consistency of making sure
7:12
Speaker 1: that you show up so that you may have broken
7:15
Speaker 1: through but now you've got to stay through it and
7:17
Speaker 1: don't find yourself back on the same path that you
7:19
Speaker 1: came from.
7:22
Speaker 3: Absolutely. It's very windy on top of the mountain once
7:25
Speaker 3: you climb it, my friend. People think that you're going
7:30
Speaker 3: to climb the mountain and then you're going to.
7:32
Speaker 2: Enjoy the vista.
7:33
Speaker 3: Well, that's well said and done, but it's very windy
7:37
Speaker 3: on top. If you're not equipped mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually,
7:42
Speaker 3: then it's just a matter of time before you fall again.
7:46
Speaker 2: And you have to be equipped.
7:47
Speaker 3: And this book, The No Limits Life, gives you all
7:50
Speaker 3: these tools to not only climb the mountain, but stay there,
7:55
Speaker 3: enjoy the vista, and never fall back.
7:58
Speaker 1: The name of the book, The No Limits Life. I
8:01
Speaker 1: do have the book. I have activated the book. And
8:04
Speaker 1: we're going to learn more from Nordin coming up next.
8:11
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for coming back to our conversation
8:12
Speaker 1: with Nordin, his book, The No Limits Life. I keep
8:16
Speaker 1: this book with me at all times, everywhere I go.
8:18
Speaker 1: And the reason why is because I do run into
8:20
Speaker 1: people that consistently tell me, oh, meditation, it's so difficult. Oh,
8:25
Speaker 1: my God. And then what I do is I let
8:27
Speaker 1: them have this book to hold on to it. And
8:29
Speaker 1: I go, you tell me that after about 15, 30 minutes.
8:32
Speaker 1: And let me know how difficult it is. Because he
8:35
Speaker 1: just made it very easy.
8:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you know, I take silence over everything.
8:43
Speaker 2: Self-negative thoughts.
8:45
Speaker 3: Yes.
8:45
Speaker 2: You know, anytime.
8:46
Speaker 3: Yes. You know, when you say meditation is not easy, well,
8:51
Speaker 3: you're making it difficult. Meditation is actually the easiest thing
8:54
Speaker 3: to do. You just sit and be still, you know.
8:58
Speaker 3: People are fighting their thoughts and that's absolutely what... What
9:03
Speaker 3: meditation is not. Meditation is not getting rid of the thought.
9:06
Speaker 3: Meditation is accepting those thoughts and returning to your breath,
9:11
Speaker 3: to the present moment.
9:13
Speaker 2: And then when the thoughts come back, you go back
9:15
Speaker 2: to this. I call that return. You must return to
9:20
Speaker 2: here and now.
9:23
Speaker 1: And that involves taking ownership of our transformation, does it not?
9:26
Speaker 1: Because a lot of people tend to fear that transformation
9:29
Speaker 1: because all of a sudden their friends are going, I
9:31
Speaker 1: like the old you better. Go back to being the
9:34
Speaker 1: old you. Oh my God, I'm really bothered by that.
9:37
Speaker 2: Yeah.
9:40
Speaker 3: You know, people tend to be stuck in that comfort
9:43
Speaker 3: zone where reality is no longer available to them.
9:46
Speaker 2: It's comfortable. They're not seeing reality.
9:49
Speaker 3: Beyond that comfort zone and that's what the no limits
9:53
Speaker 3: life is about once they see that they never go back.
9:56
Speaker 1: Yep so true and you know one of the things
9:59
Speaker 1: that I love and I think this is where you
10:00
Speaker 1: really grabbed me in the very beginning, is that your
10:03
Speaker 1: transparency is so authentic, where you physically tell us in
10:06
Speaker 1: your writing, and God, I can hear your voice, you
10:09
Speaker 1: saying this, you know, that what you're about ready to
10:11
Speaker 1: read aren't just words. They are echoes and many echoes.
10:17
Speaker 1: And when you start thinking like that, that you received
10:20
Speaker 1: and you transferred it forward, it's an echo that we're
10:23
Speaker 1: putting inside our heart.
10:27
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
10:27
Speaker 3: Absolutely. It's interesting you say that, because I was invited
10:32
Speaker 3: by a group of business people, entrepreneur, older people who
10:35
Speaker 3: are retired. And they bought the book and they got
10:38
Speaker 3: a hold of me and they invited me to a
10:43
Speaker 3: puzzle party. So I showed up there, you know, and...
10:49
Speaker 3: And lo and behold, these guys have the book. And
10:52
Speaker 3: one of them comes to me and he said, you
10:55
Speaker 3: wrote this book for me? How did you know? And
10:58
Speaker 3: I'm like, he said, every morning I wake up, I
11:03
Speaker 3: read this thing. It's like you wrote it for me.
11:06
Speaker 3: And you have 365 of them? It was.
11:12
Speaker 2: It was really great. It's always good, you know, and
11:16
Speaker 2: it's an echo, an echo that we all have.
11:18
Speaker 3: We're all similar in many ways, you know, and like
11:23
Speaker 3: I said, you know, this.
11:25
Speaker 2: Book is more than a book. It's a guide for everyone.
11:28
Speaker 1: I also see it as a dear future reader moment because,
11:31
Speaker 1: I mean, in reality, 25, 30 years from now, dude,
11:34
Speaker 1: people are still going to be picking this book up
11:36
Speaker 1: and you took your time today to share it with
11:39
Speaker 1: them tomorrow.
11:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely. So true. Absolutely.
11:46
Speaker 3: And this is actually, this is the goal. It's sort
11:50
Speaker 3: of a legacy that I want to leave here for,
11:55
Speaker 3: you know, people to make sure that they have something
11:59
Speaker 3: that they can actually, you know, pick up, read it
12:05
Speaker 3: and move forward.
12:08
Speaker 1: One of the things that you teach your readers as
12:10
Speaker 1: well as your students, and a lot of people struggle
12:13
Speaker 1: with this because they don't understand it, that we are
12:15
Speaker 1: really a working machine with lots of things going on
12:18
Speaker 1: in our mind at all times. But you clearly state
12:21
Speaker 1: that the mind is a powerful thing, but the body
12:24
Speaker 1: can't work without it. How many people do we bump
12:27
Speaker 1: into that are like a lump on a log and
12:29
Speaker 1: aren't doing anything? And I just want to ask them,
12:31
Speaker 1: what's going through your mind? Because your body is saying
12:33
Speaker 1: something differently.
12:36
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
12:37
Speaker 3: You know, knowing that the body is a servant of
12:41
Speaker 3: the mind.
12:42
Speaker 2: Yeah.
12:42
Speaker 3: It has no other choice but to obey the mind.
12:50
Speaker 3: But the body also has a way to talk to
12:53
Speaker 3: the mind by these feelings that we're feeling.
12:57
Speaker 2: If you're feeling weird, if you're feeling negative, go back to...
13:02
Speaker 2: Go back.
13:02
Speaker 3: To where the thought originated.
13:07
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
13:09
Speaker 3: Go back and change that because that's where it comes from.
13:12
Speaker 3: If you feel tired, if you feel weird, if your
13:17
Speaker 3: body is aching, if you have things that are bothering
13:23
Speaker 3: you with your.
13:24
Speaker 2: Body, go back to your mind where thoughts originate.
13:29
Speaker 1: Well, see, I always tell people when they sit there
13:31
Speaker 1: and they say, I'm feeling kind of sluggish or I'm
13:33
Speaker 1: just not in a good mood today. I swear to
13:35
Speaker 1: God that I will sit there, sir, and I will say,
13:38
Speaker 1: how tight are your pants? And they go, what are
13:39
Speaker 1: you talking about? I go, your donjon, your energy, your
13:43
Speaker 1: core energy is right there below your stomach. If you're
13:45
Speaker 1: blocking that energy, that part of your body, then you
13:48
Speaker 1: have every right in the world to feel like crap.
13:50
Speaker 1: So undo your belt buckle, man, and release it and
13:53
Speaker 1: let your body do the speaking.
13:54
Speaker 2: Absolutely. So true. So true.
14:00
Speaker 1: This is the stuff that you actually bring forward. I mean,
14:02
Speaker 1: like you said, these are, these are echoes. Well, your
14:05
Speaker 1: echoes are affecting other people's lives in the most positive way.
14:11
Speaker 3: Yes. And that's, that's what I hear every single day,
14:15
Speaker 3: whether it's from readers, friends, or even family who were
14:19
Speaker 3: telling me, you know.
14:20
Speaker 2: You, you, you wrote, these are echoes. These, these, it's
14:24
Speaker 2: like you're talking to me.
14:28
Speaker 1: And the most amazing thing about this is, is that
14:31
Speaker 1: the way that you and your editor wrote this, it's
14:34
Speaker 1: done in about 60 seconds. Who doesn't have 60 seconds
14:39
Speaker 1: to take the time to go through one page?
14:42
Speaker 2: That's it.
14:42
Speaker 1: Just one page.
14:45
Speaker 2: And that's the beauty of it.
14:47
Speaker 3: Most reviews are talking about the same thing, the fact
14:51
Speaker 3: that it doesn't take long.
14:53
Speaker 2: It's a minute for you to reflect upon.
14:56
Speaker 3: And who does not have, like you said, a minute
14:59
Speaker 3: to change their lives, to make their lives better?
15:03
Speaker 2: Everyone has.
15:04
Speaker 1: Well, I love the idea that you've got it available
15:06
Speaker 1: to them even as we speak because I know that
15:09
Speaker 1: everybody waits until January, the beginning of the resolution year, that, oh,
15:13
Speaker 1: we're going to make a change. Hell no. We're making
15:14
Speaker 1: the change right now in fall because there's a lot
15:17
Speaker 1: of things in the trees and stuff like that that
15:19
Speaker 1: are transitioning. So is the human being. That's why No
15:23
Speaker 1: Limits Life needs to be in our lives right now.
15:27
Speaker 2: Your life can't wait. Your life is now.
15:30
Speaker 3: Yep. And this is why this book.
15:33
Speaker 3: Is meant to be read day by day. Whenever you
15:37
Speaker 3: get the book, that's where you start it. Yes.
15:40
Speaker 1: That was difficult, sir.
15:41
Speaker 3: Come on.
15:42
Speaker 1: I wanted to start at the very beginning, but no, no, no, no, no.
15:44
Speaker 1: I had to go to the actual date, which when
15:47
Speaker 1: the first time you and I got together was what, two,
15:49
Speaker 1: three months ago. So therefore it was really weird starting
15:52
Speaker 1: this thing in the middle of the book.
15:55
Speaker 3: Yeah. And it's, it feels weird, but you know, that's
15:59
Speaker 3: where transformation begins when it feels weird.
16:02
Speaker 2: You have to push through.
16:05
Speaker 1: I love that word transformation, though. I don't know what
16:08
Speaker 1: it is about that word, but I do find empowerment
16:11
Speaker 1: in that word.
16:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely.
16:15
Speaker 1: I do, too.
16:15
Speaker 3: And this is a very inspirational word. When you feel,
16:19
Speaker 3: when you hear transformation, you feel transformation and you want
16:24
Speaker 3: to be transformed. You want to change things in your
16:28
Speaker 3: life that are not working.
16:30
Speaker 2: And the only.
16:31
Speaker 3: Way to change them, you need, you know, change is
16:34
Speaker 3: a very weak word. To me, transform, as you said
16:39
Speaker 3: very eloquently, change. is much more inspirational and much more powerful.
16:45
Speaker 1: It is, it is. And man, it will help you
16:48
Speaker 1: through anxiety. I mean, your quote in here, if this
