• 0:02
  Hello, everyone. Welcome back to Eye Opener Society. Welcome back to another
• 0:06
  one of my little pop-up episodes that I got going on for you.
• 0:10
  Like I said, I try to keep things fresh a little bit.
• 0:14
  So instead of waiting all week for the next episode, you got a little something to listen to, right?
• 0:20
  So anyway, I hope everyone's doing well.
• 0:26
  And that's really the purpose of this.
• 0:29
  For this episode, something I want to try a little different,
• 0:33
  excuse me, as I'm trying to get my, these are blue blockers, by the way.
• 0:38
  I don't really wear glasses, but whenever I look at computer screens,
• 0:42
  I hate to get the headaches with all the light that comes in. I got a lot of light on me.
• 0:46
  These help a lot. So just in case you're wondering, okay, anyway,
• 0:50
  But what I want to talk about, actually, is you.
• 0:54
  That's right. You, the audience. You as an individual.
• 0:59
  I don't think that's celebrated enough. We always are listening to other people.
• 1:03
  You're listening to me right now.
• 1:05
  I turn on other shows, other podcasts. I try to get ideas from other people. I listen to them.
• 1:12
  But do we really focus on us?
• 1:17
  That's a question I ask myself. Am I really focused on everything about me that I want to achieve?
• 1:29
  So I would like to pose that upon you. Are you focused?
• 1:35
  The clarity that you have, is that clarity really clear?
• 1:45
  We can get lost throughout the day, and we can veer off of our intentions,
• 1:52
  our intended path, because we don't focus much.
• 2:01
  Meditation is going to help guide you, obviously. It's going to help you with this.
• 2:07
  But what I'm talking about is, if you wake up in the morning and say,
• 2:10
  listen, this is what I need to achieve today.
• 2:14
  You need to focus on that path To get those achievements done So the question
• 2:19
  is Are you able to focus on that Do you find yourself at the end of the day,
• 2:25
  Not doing everything that you set out to do Did you have a really good intention
• 2:30
  And what path did you go on That led you astray.
• 2:38
  Focus on you Focus on your health Is your mental health good?
• 2:44
  Is your physical health good?
• 2:47
  If not, what steps are you taking to correct it?
• 2:55
  Look, it's okay to be in disarray.
• 3:00
  It's okay to, you know, deal with all of the chaos that goes on because unfortunately,
• 3:06
  that's just what goes on in life.
• 3:09
  That's, you know, unfortunately Our daily routines,
• 3:15
  However If we keep focusing on that chaos It's going to become stronger And.
• 3:27
  And then it's going to take away you.
• 3:34
  You get lost in that equation. It's no longer about you.
• 3:37
  It's about everything else that's going on in life, around you,
• 3:41
  whatever the case may be.
• 3:44
  So are you focusing on yourself? Are you putting yourself as number one?
• 3:51
  If you cannot help yourself, you cannot help anybody else.
• 3:57
  I think you're doing well you know i think everybody is just falling into place and,
• 4:05
  you know i understand that life is not going to be so easy and sometimes i speak
• 4:12
  like it's so easy but that's how i live i simplify everything and then i oversimplify
• 4:19
  it even more and it just helps me.
• 4:23
  And now, of course, that's me. So again, I'm talking about you.
• 4:29
  What is it that you need help with? What is it that you need to focus on?
• 4:35
  What is it that you need to take care of?
• 4:39
  Start jotting these things down. Start doing something now, right now,
• 4:45
  to make those changes that you want to make.
• 4:49
  Because the more you put them off, Not only are they going to linger But the
• 4:55
  problems start to get more complex,
• 4:59
  I will say this Once you achieve everything You get everything level And you
• 5:04
  get yourself back to where you want to be,
• 5:07
  It becomes way easy Life becomes way easy The hard part is just That focus that
• 5:14
  you need To accomplish what it is You want to accomplish publish.
• 5:21
  Now, focusing on you again, are you doing everything you want to do?
• 5:27
  Are you tired of maybe your job? Are you tired of certain situations,
• 5:34
  relationship, whatever it may be?
• 5:38
  Is there something that you need to change with any of that?
• 5:43
  Ask yourself seriously because, again, now is the time.
• 5:48
  Don't let it linger. Don't sit there and say, oh, I'm not really comfortable
• 5:51
  with this, but I'll get by. And then the next day it gets a little bit worse.
• 5:54
  Next day it gets even worse.
• 5:55
  Next day, and then it just snowballs into a much more complex problem that you're
• 5:59
  going to have a very difficult time shoveling yourself out of.
• 6:06
  So that very first thought that pops in your head that says, this isn't going right.
• 6:13
  Right away, take care of it.
• 6:18
  This way you Are now In better control Of your life The direction you want to go in.
• 6:29
  I could use this analogy. It's like driving down the highway.
• 6:32
  Highway's got a lot of stuff going on, right?
• 6:35
  A lot of other people out there swerving and speeds and road signs and directions.
• 6:41
  And if you're driving along in your car, you're doing okay.
• 6:45
  But you knew you had a slow leak on a tire, right?
• 6:51
  And as you're driving down the road, you're just losing a little bit more and more air.
• 6:55
  No big deal, you think, right? I'll just keep driving because...
• 6:59
  Car's in control for now.
• 7:04
  And then what's going to happen once that tire loses 30% of its air?
• 7:13
  Steering is going to get a little different, right? Might be pulling to the
• 7:16
  side where the flat's on.
• 7:19
  40% of the air loss. You're going to start noticing. There's going to be some vibrations.
• 7:28
  Those vibrations are going to go through the shock absorbers Or the struts So
• 7:32
  you're going to start shaking things up,
• 7:35
  You're going to start losing more and more air And you're going to sit there
• 7:38
  and say You know what, I know it's getting hard But I can't deal with it because now,
• 7:43
  This problem's worse There's so many other complications going on I'm going
• 7:47
  to try and hold it together And then you're down to about 25% air in that tire
• 7:53
  And it's no longer functioning the way it should,
• 7:57
  The rim is starting to Compress into the rubber As the tires Stretching out
• 8:02
  More on the bottoms And starting to tear up The sidewalls are starting to get damaged,
• 8:09
  And the tire just Tears apart Depending how fast you're going You could lose
• 8:14
  control Hit another car Hit a wall Hopefully you get to the Shoulder.
• 8:22
  Now you're doing damage to the rim, so it's no longer just a matter of changing
• 8:26
  a tire, it's changing the wheel.
• 8:30
  Do not let yourself get into that situation. The moment you see,
• 8:34
  hey, I'm down 10% air on this tire, boom, fill it up.
• 8:39
  Fix the hole, put a new tire on.
• 8:42
  And then get behind the wheel of that car and hit that highway.
• 8:46
  Yeah, there's going to be a lot of chaos, but you're going to be in control now.
• 8:52
  Use that analogy for your life Get your life on track Think about what you need
• 8:59
  now Right now And take care of it right now Stop putting things off This is
• 9:05
  something that we fail as human beings,
• 9:08
  Strong people are going to take care of the problems right away,
• 9:13
  There's nothing wrong with being upset about the problem There's nothing wrong
• 9:17
  with crime Sometimes But stand up to those problems and start taking care of it.
• 9:24
  Take control of your life and take control of it quickly before it spirals further out of control.
• 9:32
  Now, I know I said I'm talking about you.
• 9:36
  And your life might not be spiraling out of control. You may have a good handle on it.
• 9:42
  Go out there and teach others how to do the same thing.
• 9:50
  Because nothing's going on in your life that's damaging. You're in control.
• 9:55
  That's good. And that's what we want.
• 10:00
  But take that knowledge. Take that wisdom and spread it to everybody else.
• 10:05
  So if you're going down the road and you're seeing a tire starting to go low,
• 10:08
  let that person know. Fix it now.
• 10:11
  Let's start building more strength amongst us as humans.
• 10:15
  Let's stop with the constant breakdowns. just because something small has gotten in our path.
• 10:22
  Stand up. Be strong. Grab hold of your life.
• 10:27
  Stop placing blame on everything else or anyone else.
