1:07
By the way, this is the end of
1:09
our master topic week.
1:11
Remember we start on Saturday, we end on
1:12
Friday.
1:13
That means tomorrow we're gonna start a brand
1:14
new master topic.
1:17
But this week we have a great one
1:19
and we're ending it today.
1:20
This is our day seven.
1:22
And so if you're thirsty or hungry, feel
1:24
free to go grab something and come on
1:25
back.
1:26
I don't want you to be parched or
1:27
to be thirsty.
1:28
So feel free to do that.
1:29
Without any further ado guys, let's go ahead
1:31
and kick this show off, all right?
1:33
So letting yourself believe good things are still
1:39
possible.
1:41
I think that's an important thing.
1:42
By the way, this is series four.
1:44
In case you're wondering, this is show number
1:47
52.
1:48
And ladies and gentlemen, we are on episode
1:50
number seven.
1:52
Yes, we're on episode number seven.
1:54
Letting yourself believe good things are still possible.
1:58
That's really important to understand.
2:01
And I think sometimes we get a little
2:05
bit lost in our way.
2:08
And why do we get lost?
2:09
I think the reason we get lost is
2:12
because sometimes we don't really understand what's out
2:16
there or what our life is doing, right?
2:18
I think that sometimes happens to everybody.
2:20
And when that happens to everybody, it's like,
2:22
oh my gosh, what do I do?
2:23
What am I supposed to do?
2:25
And I think what you're supposed to do
2:27
is recognize where you are right now in
2:30
life.
2:30
Like right now, where are you right this
2:32
very, very moment?
2:37
And I know that's hard for a lot
2:39
of people to, let's say realize, to fathomize,
2:43
to kind of make that part of their
2:45
life.
2:45
I know it is.
2:47
But when you make this a process, okay,
2:50
every single day, it's important, okay?
2:59
By the way, ladies and gentlemen, I'm John
3:01
Seymour, a serial entrepreneur.
3:04
Yes, a video producer, marketing specialist, graduate student,
3:07
and of course, a passionate lifelong learner.
3:10
And you know, ladies and gentlemen, it is
3:11
my privilege and my pleasure to be with
3:13
you here on the Inspirations for Your Life
3:14
show.
3:16
You're not late.
3:17
You're loaded with experience.
3:18
In this episode of Inspirations for Your Life,
3:20
as I said, I'm John Seymour Early, and
3:22
I dive into what it really means to
3:24
let yourself believe what good things are like
3:28
in your life and why it is still
3:30
possible.
3:31
I think that's a very important thing for
3:34
a lot of people.
3:35
Some people just don't understand like what that
3:37
means or why that even is a certain
3:39
way, but it is the truth of life,
3:41
guys.
3:42
It absolutely is the truth of life.
3:43
And so this whole week is about, you
3:46
know, hope for future.
3:48
And so we've been talking a lot about
3:50
this week, right?
3:52
And so with deeply important granular things, we're
3:55
talking about the dailies and imagining the future
3:58
that you can actually look forward to again
4:00
and again.
4:01
So let's kick it off, guys, with point
4:03
number one.
4:04
Yes, point number one is you're allowed to
4:07
look, how can I say, you're allowed to
4:10
look forward to something again and again?
4:14
I'm not saying you should basically stop what
4:18
you're doing.
4:19
That's important.
4:20
There may have been seasons where, I don't
4:24
know, let's say looking ahead only hurts.
4:28
So your brain decided that expecting nothing was
4:30
safer than being disappointed again.
4:33
But hope is not betrayal of your past.
4:35
It's a gift of your future.
4:36
Start small, look forward to a conversation, a
4:39
walk, a project, a moment of joy this
4:42
week or next week, and giving yourself permission
4:44
to anticipate something good is the first quiet
4:47
act of rebuilding your future.
4:49
I think sometimes we get lost in that
4:51
whole predicament.
4:54
And I know you're seeing me, John, like
4:56
I don't know what to do, but it's
4:59
important to understand what we're doing.
5:05
And maybe you're seeing me, John, like I'm
5:08
lost.
5:08
And I get that you're lost because everybody
5:11
gets sometimes, right?
5:12
So we have compasses, that's why we have
5:14
GPS systems, that's why we have maps.
5:16
And I think that's important to definitely understand
5:20
what that really means.
5:23
And I think what it means to a
5:25
lot of people in our world is that
5:27
we have to make the choices, the choices
5:31
sometimes that we don't wanna make, but the
5:33
choices that we need to make for the
5:36
greater good of our growth.
5:37
I think that's a very, very important thing.
5:41
And a lot of times people just don't,
5:43
they just don't, they don't get it.
5:45
I don't know why, but they just don't
5:47
seem to get that point.
5:50
And so when we think about life for
5:52
a moment, and we think about how things
5:53
are going a certain way, and we think
5:55
about why they're going a certain way or
5:57
why they're not, that can cause us sometimes
5:59
pain, it can cause us some grief, it
6:01
causes some challenges.
6:04
So what I wanna say to all of
6:05
you is that feeling discomfort in this is
6:08
completely, completely normal.
6:10
It's not something that you should just try
6:14
to pack into a small bag and then
6:18
not open it again.
6:20
So thinking about this, your story doesn't end
6:23
with your worst chapter, all right?
6:26
Every life has chapters that feel like rock
6:29
bottom.
6:30
Losses, breakups, failures, diagnoses, betrayals, and these things
6:37
that you have, the pages from these are
6:39
real, but they're not the whole book.
6:41
Your worst chapter may explain where you are
6:43
in life, but it does not decide where
6:46
you're allowed to go next.
6:48
That's right, I said, where are you gonna
6:49
go next?
6:49
That's just where you were in the past.
6:51
So when you believe you're stuck in the
6:53
chapter forever, you stop trying to turn the
6:56
page.
6:57
You stop trying to go anywhere, change.
7:00
Today is about recognizing the pen is still
7:04
in your hand.
7:05
And I think that's something a lot of
7:06
people miss is that the pen is still
7:07
in your hand.
7:08
And by having that pen in your hand,
7:09
it makes a huge, huge difference, all right?
7:13
Because you have the pen, because you can
7:15
keep doing things, you can make those changes
7:17
in your life.
7:17
Number three, stop asking, is this too late?
7:20
Start asking this question.
7:22
What would be fun to try now?
7:24
Is it too late?
7:26
Is a fear question.
7:27
It already assumes the answer might be yes.
7:31
What would be fun to try now is
7:33
a curiosity question.
7:35
It opens doors instead of slamming them.
7:37
You shift from defending your age, your timing
7:39
or your past to exploring possibilities that actually
7:43
energize you from the fun that you supposedly
7:46
are gonna have, supposedly, right?
7:48
But for whatever reason, you're not having it
7:50
because you're saying fun is childish, but it's
7:52
not.
7:52
It is the fuel that will push you
7:54
forward.
7:54
Let curiosity, not fear, guide the next steps
7:58
of your life regardless of what people around
8:00
you say.
8:02
Number four, future is key, guys.
8:05
Yes, future, the future of your life.
8:08
Future you is real.
8:10
What tiny favor can you do for them
8:12
today?
8:13
Think of your future self as an actual
8:15
person you care about.
8:16
Not an abstract idea, excuse me.
8:19
That person will wake up in your body
8:21
in the circumstances shaped by today's circumstance.
8:25
I think that's an important one to realize.
8:28
And the choices that you've made for today.
8:30
A tiny favor could be sending one email,
8:32
drinking water instead of scrolling, cleaning up.
8:36
I think that's a real important one is
8:39
making the choice to clean up one corner
8:43
of your space, setting one boundary.
8:45
You don't have to fix the entire life
8:48
today.
8:48
Just leave them one small gift so you
8:50
can help others in that way.
8:52
And I think that's a really important thing
8:54
that a lot of people, they oftentimes, they
8:56
miss that whole concept.
8:58
Your dreams can be smaller and kinder and
9:00
still valid.
9:01
Maybe you once carried giant dramatic dreams that
9:03
no longer fit the person you are now.
9:06
That doesn't mean you failed.
9:07
It means you evolved.
9:08
The dream can be gentle, a stable home,
9:11
a meaningful work, a calm nervous system, a
9:14
small but loyal circle of friends.
9:16
You do not owe anyone a spectacular life
9:18
for your life to be worthwhile.
9:22
Kind dreams count too.
9:24
And I think that's something a lot of
9:25
people miss.
9:26
Number six, guys.
9:27
Number six is an important one I think
9:29
a lot of people miss.
9:31
That's what I wanna talk about.
9:32
You don't have to chase a massive vision
9:34
in your life.
9:35
You don't have to do that, okay?
9:36
Just a meaningful one.
9:38
Social media often glorifies huge visions, empires, millions,
9:42
global dominations.
9:43
That might be right for some people, but
9:44
it might not be right for you.
9:46
So the question is, what do you do?
9:49
A meaningful vision could be serving your local
9:51
community, raising kind kids, building a respectable team,
9:55
or creating art that touches a few people
9:58
deeply on an inner level.
10:00
One thing you thought you'd never survive, and
10:02
yet here you are, number seven.
10:04
Pause, remember a moment you were sure would
10:08
break you.
10:09
And the thing you said, if this ever
10:11
happens, I'll never recover.
10:13
Then notice the truth, guys.
10:14
You did not disappear from the earth.
10:16
You adjusted, you healed, you adapted, maybe slowly.
10:19
And somehow you kept going.
10:21
You kept persisting.
10:23
You became resilient.
10:25
You let that proof fuel your belief that
10:27
you can handle future challenges too.
10:30
Number eight, guys, maybe the goal now is
10:32
softer life, not a louder one.
10:34
You might have spent years chasing noise, bigger
10:37
jobs, louder achievements, constant busyness.
10:40
Sometimes the next chapter of hope is not
10:41
volume, it's about softness, more rest, more peace,
10:45
more boundaries, less chaos.
10:47
A softer life doesn't mean a smaller life.
10:49
It means a life that doesn't constantly scrape
10:51
your nervous system raw.
10:53
And that's important because some people do do
10:54
that.
10:55
Number nine, you're allowed to pivot your dreams
10:57
without apologizing.
10:59
Changing direction doesn't mean you were wrong before.
11:02
It means you're honest now.
11:04
Maybe a dream that you had and were
11:06
once excited over, you no longer are in
11:09
alignment with because it doesn't fit your values
11:11
anymore.
11:12
You're allowed to say that was right for
11:14
me then and this is right for me
11:16
now without apologizing to why you're doing it.
11:18
I think that's important.
11:19
Number 10, imagine a life that fits you
11:22
better than the one you're performing in.
11:24
I think that's an important one.
11:26
A lot of exhaustion comes from performing a
11:28
life for others, family, colleagues, followers that doesn't
11:31
actually fit who you are.
11:34
Hope grows when you picture a life that
11:36
feels aligned on the inside, not just impressive
11:40
on the outside.
11:41
Ask yourself this question.
11:42
If I stopped performing, what would I change?
11:46
Where would I live?
11:48
How would I spend my time?
11:49
Who would be my circle?
11:51
Even imagining that life is the first step
11:53
toward it.
11:54
And I think that's a, I think a
11:55
lot of people just, you know, they get
11:57
lost on that.
11:58
Number 11, write a list of the called
11:59
stuff.
12:00
I still want experience.
12:02
Start small, grab a piece of paper, your
12:04
notes, your app, and literally title it stuff
12:07
I still want experience.
12:09
Do not censor yourself, okay?
12:12
Add tiny things, try a new cafe, attend
12:15
one of John's live talks, visit a local
12:18
park, go to a concert, join a new
12:21
community, sign up for a class.
12:23
This is not a pressure list, it's a
12:24
possibility list.
12:26
And when you see possibilities on paper, your
12:28
brain remembers that the future isn't empty.
12:30
And I think it wants to strive for
12:32
that.
12:32
Number 12, hope is a muscle.
12:34
You strengthen it with tiny experiments.
12:36
Hope doesn't instantly appear just because you decide
12:39
to be hopeful.
12:41
Like a muscle, it grows when you gently
12:43
work it.
12:44
A tiny experiment could be applying for something
12:46
you're not sure you'll get.
12:48
Reaching out to someone new, trying a new
12:50
habit, or taking a small step toward a
12:53
long dormant dream.
12:54
Each experiment whispers to your brain, see, not
12:57
everything ends badly.
12:58
Number 13, if your future looks like your
13:01
past, something needs to change.
13:02
If when you mentally fast forward one year,
13:06
your life looks exactly the same, and that
13:09
thought drains you, that's important data.
13:11
It doesn't mean you're doomed, it means something
13:14
needs to shift.
13:15
Maybe it's your schedule, it's your boundaries, your
13:16
environment, or your expectations of yourself.
13:19
You don't have to change everything overnight, but
13:21
you do need to change something, a little
13:23
bit at a time, consistently.
13:25
Number 14, you're not starting from zero, you're
13:27
starting from experience.
13:28
And that's something a lot of people miss.
13:30
Experience is very valuable.
13:31
Starting again at 30, 40, 50, 60 can
13:34
feel humiliating if you believe you're behind.
13:37
But notice, you're not the same person you
13:39
were at 18.
13:40
You have skills now, lessons you've learned, emotional
13:42
intelligence, and scars that now function as wisdom,
13:45
hopefully.
13:46
Every attempt you've made so far has given
13:48
you data.
13:49
You're not a beginner at life.
13:50
You're an experienced builder starting a new project.
13:53
Number 15, guys, comparison steals.
13:56
Yes, it does.
13:58
Comparison steals your hope.
13:59
Curiosity restores it.
14:00
Don't do that.
14:01
Comparison asks, why am I not where they
14:05
are?
14:06
And immediately drains your energy.
14:08
Curiosity asks, where could I go from here?
14:10
And gives it back to you.
14:12
When you feel comparison rising, scrolling, watching others
14:17
highlight reels, practice flipping it.
14:19
Interesting, what does seeing this make me curious
14:24
to try in my own life?
14:25
Curiosity turns envy into information.
14:28
As I said, data.
14:30
And I think that's something a lot of
14:31
people, they don't answer that question.
14:34
Number 16, it's okay if your dreams now
14:37
is just peace and stability.
14:39
That's completely okay, guys.
14:40
There's no rule that says your dream must
14:43
be flashy.
14:43
Want a calm, steady life, bills paid, body
14:46
cared for, relationship respectful.
14:49
It's not unsettling to do that.
14:51
For many people who have lived in chaos,
14:53
peace and stability are radical upgrades.
14:55
Number 17, the future is built in boring
14:59
Tuesdays, not just big moments, right?
15:02
We often imagine future changing in cinematic scenes.
15:06
The big promotion, the viral moment, the dramatic
15:09
move.
15:10
But more of your future is being shaped
15:12
on ordinary Tuesdays or Wednesdays.
15:14
What you eat, how you speak to yourself,
15:17
whether you move your body, what you learn,
15:19
who you spend time with.
15:21
When you respect the power of boring days,
15:23
you regain power over your life.
15:26
Number 18, guys, you don't need a 10
15:28
-year plan, just a three-month project.
15:31
Planning 10 years ahead can feel paralyzing, especially
15:34
after disappointments.
15:36
Shrink the timeframe, what is one meaningful project
15:39
you can commit to for the next three
15:41
months?
15:41
It could be improving your health markers, saving
15:44
a small emergency fund, building a new skill,
15:46
or creating something.
15:48
Shorter horizons make actions more attainable and doable.
15:51
If nothing changes, where will you be in
15:55
a year?
15:55
Do you like that answer?
15:57
Ask this honestly, not to shame yourself.
16:00
Think about the movie with Morley and Christmas
16:03
Carol, right?
16:04
But to wake yourself up with Ebenezer Scrooge.
16:07
If the honest answer is no, I wouldn't
16:09
like that, let the discomfort be the fuel,
16:11
not a self-attack on you.
16:13
The point of the question is not to
16:14
scare you, it's to motivate you to adjust
16:17
your trajectory now while you still can, very
16:19
similar to the Ebenezer Christmas Carol movie.
16:22
So that's very important to understand.
16:25
Number 20, your future self will thank you
16:28
for the boundaries you set now.
16:30
A lot of burnout comes from trying to
16:33
be everything to everyone.
16:35
Boundaries around time, energy, money, relationships, they're not
16:40
selfish.
16:41
They are a love letter to your future
16:43
self saying, no today might give the future
16:47
you back their health.
16:49
Their peace, their creativity.
16:50
Think of boundaries as future protection, not present
16:53
rejections.
16:55
Number 21, hope doesn't mean denial.
16:57
It means there's more possible than what I'm
17:00
currently working on.
17:01
Hope is not pretending everything is fine when
17:04
it isn't.
17:05
It's acknowledging reality and still believing that reality
17:07
is not the final word.
17:10
You can hold grief and hope in the
17:12
same heart.
17:13
You can tell the truth about what hurts
17:14
while also leaving room for what might attempt
17:17
to heal.
17:18
And I think that's a really important thing,
17:21
guys.
17:22
A very, very important thing that a lot
17:23
of people, they kind of miss that point.
17:26
They miss the point of what could be
17:28
going on.
17:29
And so we have to think about those
17:31
things, right?
17:33
Very, very important things.
17:35
Number 22, you can upgrade your life without
17:39
burning it all down.
17:40
You don't necessarily need to quit everything.
17:43
You don't need to do that.
17:45
Trust me, you don't need to do that.
17:46
No, some people say you have to do
17:46
it.
17:47
You don't have to do that.
17:49
Or move across the world or start from
17:52
absolute scratch, bottom.
17:54
Sometimes the next chapter is a series of
17:56
upgrades, better habits, better boundaries, better conversations, better
18:00
use of strengths.
18:01
Evolution doesn't always require explosion.
18:05
Number 23, the dream isn't to escape your
18:08
life.
18:09
It's to build one you want to escape.
18:12
Endless fantasizing about escape, vacations, weekends, retirements can
18:16
be a sign that your current life isn't
18:18
aligned.
18:19
The deeper invitation is not to build more
18:21
escape routes, but to gradually design a life
18:24
where your daily reality is less painful, more
18:26
aligned, and more honest.
18:28
That doesn't happen overnight, but it does happen
18:31
on purpose.
18:32
So I think what that means is that
18:33
we have to live in the luxury all
18:36
the time.
18:36
Not just when we go on vacation.
18:38
We have to be good to ourselves all
18:39
the time.
18:40
Number 24, maybe success for you is different
18:43
than the picture than what was online.
18:45
The internet often sells one version of success,
18:47
constant hustle, constant visibility, constant growth.
18:50
What are you really getting?
18:52
You're allowed to define success in a way
18:54
that actually fits your nervous system and values.
18:57
You don't have to follow somebody else's.
18:59
Number 25, try a tiny version of your
19:01
big idea this weekend.
19:02
Just go ahead and try that out.
19:03
Whatever that big idea is, podcast, business, a
19:06
book, a move, a project, don't wait for
19:09
perfect conditions.
19:10
Do a tiny version, record a five minute
19:12
test episode.
19:13
Sketch the outline, sketch the book, build a
19:15
simple landing page, host your friends for a
19:18
mini event.
19:19
Tiny versions make the idea real without overwhelming
19:22
you.
19:23
Number 26, so one of the things I'm
19:25
gonna be doing next year is I'm writing
19:26
a book.
19:27
So every day starting January 1 is I'm
19:29
writing a new page every day.
19:31
You are not too late, too old, or
19:34
too broken, or plot twists.
19:37
Every great story has a moment where things,
19:41
well, they look over and sometimes things shift.
19:45
Hope lives in that shift.
19:47
You might have labels in your head, too
19:49
old, too behind, too damaged.
19:51
Those are stories, they're not facts.
19:53
As long as you are breathing, a plot
19:55
twist is very, very doable and possible.
19:58
Number 27, guys, think of one thing that
20:01
would make next year feel a little lighter
20:04
for you.
20:05
Not perfect, just lighter.
20:07
Maybe it's reducing one debt.
20:09
It's resolving one conflict.
20:10
It's organizing one room.
20:11
Leaving one draining commitment.
20:13
Maybe it's ending a relationship.
20:15
Or saying yes to one nourishing habit.
20:17
Defining that lighter action, write it down, and
20:20
begin designing your next year around that.
20:23
I think that's an important thing that people
20:25
don't realize we have power to do.
20:27
Number 28, guys, number 28 is hope feels
20:30
risky when you've been disappointed.
20:33
We've all been disappointed.
20:34
Start small.
20:36
If you had hopes crushed, your brain has
20:39
learned that hoping is dangerous.
20:41
Don't start with giant hopes.
20:43
Start with small ones.
20:45
Hope that you can create one better morning,
20:48
one better conversation, one better week.
20:50
As those hopes are met, your nervous system
20:52
slowly recalibrates.
20:54
Maybe it's okay to hope just a little
20:56
bit bigger.
20:57
Number 29, your next chapter doesn't need everyone's
21:01
approval.
21:01
It really doesn't.
21:02
Just your participation.
21:04
If you wait for universal approval, you'll need,
21:07
well, a lot more patience.
21:10
You'll never move ahead.
21:13
Some people won't understand your changes because they
21:17
benefit from the version of you that stays
21:19
the same.
21:20
Even though that's not good for you, the
21:21
only essential person in your next chapter is
21:24
you.
21:24
You're the one who has to live it,
21:26
not them.
21:27
And I think sometimes people don't want you
21:28
to change because they're afraid that they may
21:30
not get enough of you, and that's being
21:32
selfish.
21:33
Number 30, guys, imagine waking up excited for
21:37
something again.
21:38
What would have to change in your life
21:40
for that to be a reality?
21:42
Picture that morning.
21:44
You open your eyes, and there is at
21:45
least one thing you're genuinely excited about that
21:48
morning.
21:49
What would need to shift in your life
21:51
for that to be true?
21:52
Your work, your schedule, your health, your routines,
21:55
your environment, your relationships.
21:57
Let questions guide your next few choices.
22:00
Don't let them drain you or drown you.
22:05
You've just spent this time strengthening your hope
22:08
muscle, not with fantasy, but with honest doable
22:11
shifts that I provided here in the Inspirations
22:13
for Your Life show on how you can
22:15
see your future become a reality.
22:18
This is the Inspirations for Your Life show.
22:20
This is the daily motivational show.
22:23
And I'm here to help you grow and
22:27
become a better version of your life.

If this episode spoke to you, even a
22:47
tiny bit, I encourage you to please visit
22:50
BelieveMeAchieved.com from one of my amazing aspiring
22:55
creations.
22:56
Because what I wanna do, ladies and gentlemen,
22:57
is I wanna elevate your life.
22:59
I want you to gain daily podcast wisdom
23:01
from me every day.
23:02
I want you to learn from my inspirational
23:05
stories.
23:05
I want you to create your own inspirational
23:07
stories.
23:07
I want you to learn from those.
23:09
I want you to learn how to become
23:11
a leader.
23:11
I want you to not be imprisoned by
23:13
what you see outside you.
23:15
I don't want you to become scared.
23:17
I want you to be excited, but I
23:21
don't want you to become overwhelmed.
23:23
I want you to ask questions, and I
23:27
want you to be able to take those
23:28
answers, and I want you to be able
23:30
to apply them to your life.
23:33
To be like, okay, I'm here now today.
23:35
Five years ago, I was at the same
23:37
spot, but now I know this, this, this,
23:39
this, and this.
23:41
And because of those extra things I know,
23:44
the choices I make are going to be
23:46
different.
23:47
Now, people in your world, they're gonna tell
23:49
you that you should do what you did
23:50
before, because that's what worked.
23:52
It worked for them, but guess what, guys?
23:55
It didn't work for you.
23:56
And you're at the same spot again.
23:58
And those people are knocking on your door,
24:01
asking for help.
24:02
Not that you shouldn't give them help, but
24:03
I think there's a point when you give
24:05
help to people, and you spill out your
24:08
own cup, and you don't even have enough
24:10
for a tiny sip.
24:11
You become dehydrated.
24:13
Well, proverbially speaking, if we do that in
24:15
our life, in the actions of things we
24:18
do, we have no energy for ourselves.
24:21
We have no desire to do anything, because
24:23
we're so busy helping everybody else.
24:25
I'm not saying not to help everybody else.
24:26
I'm saying make sure you help yourself first.
24:29
That's really important, because you're gonna just wonder,
24:34
like, how do I get to this point?
24:37
And you can get there, guys, okay?
24:39
You have to let yourself believe.
24:41
My motto is believemeachieve.com, which you can
24:44
see on all my branding, on my shirts,
24:46
on my hat.
24:47
When we start to believe, it becomes this
24:51
chain reaction that allows us to move forward.
24:54
Now, belief doesn't happen, and the miracle may
25:01
not result in five minutes, but if you
25:04
keep thinking that way, you cause a chemical
25:07
reaction change in your brain and body, and
25:11
it also starts to send out messages to
25:13
the universe.
25:14
People start to see them that are within
25:16
a few feet of you.
25:17
They can recognize it from your aura.
25:19
See, when you are living the life that
25:23
you want inside your body, even if it's
25:26
not outside your body, the outside of your
25:28
body's world and circumstances will change to morph
25:32
the inside life inside your body.
25:35
See, most people try to take the outside
25:37
life, get what they want, and then change
25:39
the inside.
25:39
That's all wrong.
25:41
We have to change the inside of ourselves
25:43
first, and then, only then, can we have
25:46
it push to the outsides of our body.
25:48
I think that's something that a lot of
25:49
people miss, and I think it's something that
25:51
most people will definitely want to be doing,
25:57
and I say this to you because some
25:59
people get stuck on, well, they get stuck
26:01
on this ladder, right, and they have no
26:04
way to come down, and instead of trying
26:08
to look for help or to gain the
26:11
insights to safely get down, they keep waiting,
26:14
but there's no way to get through because
26:16
it's like people are always trying to go
26:18
up, so what do you do in those
26:21
situations?
26:22
You don't panic.
26:24
You try to be resourceful and figure, well,
26:26
if I wanted to get down, what's the
26:28
best way to get down?
26:29
You know, what are some other options I
26:31
have to get down, or what are there
26:32
ways that I could get attention, have somebody
26:34
help, or get someone to stop the people
26:36
coming up?
26:37
Maybe I could yell and say, hey, guys,
26:39
can you stop coming up for like two
26:41
minutes?
26:42
I need to get down, right?
26:43
That's one thing you could do, and then,
26:46
oh yeah, sure, sure, no problem.
26:48
And then they'd let you walk down.
26:51
Maybe the ladder goes up and the ladder
26:52
goes down.
26:53
Maybe you're in a tour group and you
26:54
stayed up too long and there's no way
26:56
for you to get down.
26:57
I'm just giving you some ideas.
27:00
So ladies and gentlemen, I hope you had
27:01
a very, very Merry Christmas.
27:03
Happy, healthy holidays if you didn't celebrate Christmas.
27:05
I hope you're getting ready for your New
27:06
Year's.
27:07
We are too here, and it's gonna be
27:09
a great New Year's.
27:10
It's coming up basically next Wednesday, 31st.
27:14
I can't believe it.
27:15
And then we'll officially on January 1st be
27:16
on the air.
27:17
Five years in a row.
27:19
Wow, that's incredible.
27:20
Guys, I hope you have an amazing evening.
27:23
I hope that you realize that you have
27:25
to allow yourself to believe.
27:28
Once you allow yourself to believe, only then
27:31
can you achieve.
27:33
Somebody can't make you believe.
27:35
You can't believe for a day and then
27:38
stop because it didn't work tomorrow.
27:39
It's not gonna work like that.
27:41
You have to believe in this every single
27:43
day.
27:44
Again, I'm John C.
27:45
Morley, serial entrepreneur.
27:46
Please do check out Believe Me Achieve for
27:49
more of my amazing, inspiring creations.
27:51
You know, guys, I'm gonna catch you on
27:52
another one of my shows or content reels
27:55
or something else real soon.
27:57
But take this advice seriously because you have
27:59
the power to do more than you actually
28:00
think you can.
