187. Write a Diary! · Your Enriched Self

• 0:30
  Speaker 1: How wonderful it is that nobody need weight a single
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: moment before starting to improve the world. That's a quote
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: from Anne Frank and Frank was a Jewish diarist whose
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: writing during the Holocaust became a powerful symbol of resilience
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: and hope. I want to encourage you today to write
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: it down. I know it's important to capture what we're
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: dreaming of and our plans for the future, but it's
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: also important to capture the difficulties and the challenges in life.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you've done this exercise in a while,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: but I know from time to time I run into one.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Of my diaries.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: And I read it, and it helps me understand what
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I was thinking of at that time, where I was
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: mentally at that time, What areas did I need to
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: improve in my life at that time? Your diary is
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: telling you so much about you, and I believe this
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: is why Anne's work has been studied and presented and
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: continues to be a symbol of resilience under pressure, under
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: difficult and most challenging life circumstances.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: And I think we're all dealing with a bit of
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: life today.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: But you know, this being women's history, mond I wanted
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: to talk to women, but I wanted to talk to
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: people in general about the importance of making the change
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: from where you are.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of times.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: And if we had if we adopt the mentality of
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Ann Frank, which is making and being a change agent
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: from where you sit, from what you do, from where
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: you are, from where you go, and not having to
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: be put on a platform or be relegated in a
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: certain way. I mean, at that time she was not
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: even looked at as a leader or someone that anyone
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: would regard in any unique way.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: But she today is the symbol.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: She is remembered, she is regarded, and there is something
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: that you are going to be remembered for. And it
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: may not rise to the occasion of Anne, but it's
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: going to rise to an occasion that matters. It matters
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: to your legacy. It matters to the story that you
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: are telling today and the stories that will be told
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: when you're gone tomorrow.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Journal write it down.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Capture the moment, Capture the idea, Capture the thoughts, Capture
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the life.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Your story can easily be.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: A help and a blessing to someone else's. Your story
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: can easily be something that people refer back to whether
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: it be your children or your friends or family, tell
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: your story. Your ability to share what you're walking through
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: can absolutely be what someone else in another day, another
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: time might need to fill in a gap or answer
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: a question, or generate a new idea, something maybe even
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: more innovative than where you were sitting at the time,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: because ultimately, innovation is not really just the greatest ideas
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: in the world. Innovation is intended to solve problems.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: And that's what this world is full of.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: There's problems all around and every stop of the way
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: you run into some type of issue or problem or challenge.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: And going back to the quote that Anne had, you
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: don't need to wait for a single moment so you
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: can start improving the world.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: In other words, you.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Can start where you are, with what you have, and
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: you can start now.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: You can start with what you know. You can start
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: with where you've been.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: You don't have to have gone through and been to
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: all the places and done all of the things. The
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: little or the much that you have done is enough
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: to start painting a picture, to be a piece to
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: a puzzle, to help and to guide and to lead
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: another person. And I think a lot of times we
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: see ourselves as that young you know, green in terms
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: of experience. We don't have every thing, and we think
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: we're not ready. And I want to remind you that
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: what are you going after right now?
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: You might be.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Questioning your readiness, You might be questioning your ability to
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: help someone. And I remember years ago my coach said
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: that you don't have to be a ten to help
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: somebody who's at one, meaning.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Everyone is at a level of understanding.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Everybody's at a level of intellect, a level of being
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: able to solve problems. And perhaps you might not be
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: at a ten, but you're at a solid seven because
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: you've worked your way up. You've learned the process. You
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: realize what systems are available for you, and you utilize
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: those systems, and you found some consistency, and you found
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: some challenges and issues within the system, but you worked
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: through it and you got up to a seven, not
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: quite a ten yet, but working your way to it,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: still willing to be a student in this thing called life.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: And here comes another individual, or another couple of individuals,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: or a few hundred individuals who are thinking to themselves, man,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I'm just getting started at this thing. But you who
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: sit at a seven, who have been through some things,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: learn some things, experience some things, and crawl through the
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: challenges of those things to be at a solid seven.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: You are prepared.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: You are ready and ripe for someone to take the
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: fruit of everything you've learned, every seed you planted and
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: harvested over the years, over whatever that timeframe is. You
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: can now hand that over to someone else. You can
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: give them a blueprint starting from scratch. Yeah, you're not
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: a ten, but you are in a place where you
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: can hand over material and insight and information and help
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: to someone who knows absolutely nothing coming in green, just
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: like you did a few years ago, a few months back.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: But here you are standing solid in your seven, working
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: your way towards ten, continuing to be a student in
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: this thing called life. And I want you to be
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: confident that you have something to offer this world. You
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: don't have to be perfect.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: You just have to be and that is enough.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: A lot of us don't understand a lot of you
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: don't understand your enoughness. And that's why it's so important
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: to adopt the mentality of an the mentality that you
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: need not wait. You don't hate have to wait for
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: tomorrow or a new season, or when you turn a
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: certain age, a milestone is hit.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: You can do it now.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: You can improve the world, improve your city, improve your township,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: improve your workspace, improve your life and those that you impact,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: simply by being in the moment, present now and taking action.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: And taking action doesn't have to mean doing a whole
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: bunch of things. It can be taken one step at
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: a time, one day at a time. And I know
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: that sounds cliche, and it doesn't sound like it amounts
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: too much, because we live in a culture that requires
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: us and demands of us to go and go faster,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: and that's the only way you're gonna get ahead. Well,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: slow and steady wins the race because when you're slow
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: and you're steady, you're consistent. And when you're consistent, you're
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: in it, not for a season, not because it's popular,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: not because culture celebrates it, because you're living it and
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: you're learning as you're living, and you're willing to share.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: And that's how we build communities, and that's how we
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: build ourselves, and that's how we build each other. And
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: today I encourage you journal if you haven't journaled in
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: a while, write down your story, document the difficult, document
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: the winds, small, medium and everything in between.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Get it in there.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I know that what you're gonna do will improve the world.
