  SPEAKER_00: Hey there.
• 0:01
  SPEAKER_00: I want to welcome you back to the No Time to Waste Podcast Studio.
• 0:05
  SPEAKER_00: I'm your vision coach, Marcus Murray.
• 0:08
  SPEAKER_00: I just want to let you know that in our last episode, we basically concluded we were still talking about the four quarters of life, in particular, this third quarter that we find ourselves in right now.
• 0:21
  SPEAKER_00: I want you to imagine the concept of being good at what you've done for the first 50 years of your life.
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_00: Imagine for a moment the possibility that you could have been so good at what you've done in the past that it makes it difficult for you to imagine becoming something different in the future.
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_00: In essence, our competence, our ability to do what we've done in the past so well can actually preclude our belief that we can ever do anything else in the future.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: So it's almost like the success that we've experienced creates a degree of comfort that can actually be toxic to our future, because the future requires change.
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_00: The one thing that we do know that is certain for all of us is change.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_00: The things that we are experiencing today, the places that we are in today will definitely be different in the future.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_00: So the one certain thing that we can be clear on is change.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_00: But the concept of being so good at who we were can actually stop us from being able to navigate the change to activate our next because of fear.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_00: And I'll give you an example.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: The titles can be so engaging and they become our identity, where we forget that you're not just a business owner, you're not just a mother, you're not simply a pastor, you're actually a person.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_00: But what can happen, the way culture is set up and the way the system is designed, we can actually become trapped in titles.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_00: And once we're trapped in a title, we can't even imagine life outside of the title.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_00: The reality is we are actually more than who people call us or how they refer to us.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_00: And in order to actually achieve the fullness of why you were placed on the planet, it is critical that we're not consumed or engulfed by our titles.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_00: In order to actually activate our next, in order to pivot, in order to shift, in order to make that happen, we've got to say, I'm more.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: And the question that I have for you today, do you believe that there's any more inside of you?
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: Or do you feel like that's it?
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_00: That simply being a is it?
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: If that's the case, I want to challenge you to dream again.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_00: The dreams that we put on the back shelf.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_00: Do you remember before we were locked into the position we have right now, the title that we have right now?
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_00: Do you remember those dreams that we used to have of things that we wanted to be able to do, of what life would be like if time and money was not an object or an issue?
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna challenge you to dream again.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_00: It's not too late.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_00: We're in the third quarter.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_00: This is the best quarter of them all, and this is the one that really counts.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_00: It's time to activate your next because there's no time to waste.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_00: I'll see you on the next five-minute episode.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_00: Tune in and share this with a friend or someone you think could benefit from it.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_00: Take care.
