• 0:00
  SPEAKER_00: Did you know you've actually reinvented yourself before?
• 0:04
  SPEAKER_00: That this is not the first time.
• 0:07
  SPEAKER_00: I'm certain this is surprising some people, but believe it or not, the career that you have right now, the profession that you're in right now, the place in life you're in right now, you actually created that after reinventing.
• 0:22
  SPEAKER_00: Did you realize you weren't born in the position or the occupation that you currently reside in?
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_00: What a unique thought.
• 0:32
  SPEAKER_00: You mean I wasn't born a doctor?
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_00: I wasn't born a teacher.
• 0:37
  SPEAKER_00: I wasn't born an accountant.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_00: I wasn't born an engineer.
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_00: No, no.
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_00: And actually, if we think about it, are you like me where your first job was at McDonald's or Wendy's or at the local Coney Island?
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_00: Or did you work in a nursing home before you actually became a nurse?
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_00: That's an interesting thought.
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_00: That means if you weren't born in the role that you're in currently, right now you're a sales rep.
• 1:07
  SPEAKER_00: But were you born that way?
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_00: Were you born in that position?
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_00: Or did you evolve into that position?
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_00: Is this the fourth occupation that you've had?
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_00: Or is this actually the first?
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_00: When you graduated from high school, this is what you were doing.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_00: I would challenge you that it's not.
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_00: That means you have already had to undergo the process of reinventing yourself.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_00: And if you've done it once, guess what?
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_00: You can do it again.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_00: And here's the power to it.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_00: We all have a purpose in life.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_00: And when we think about it, the concept is focusing on our destiny.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_00: What are you destined to do?
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_00: What is it that you were put on the planet to do?
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_00: What is the thing that actually drives you, that gives you that oomph, that fire, that excitement?
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: What is it?
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: And are you doing that?
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: And if you're not doing that, doesn't it make sense to start moving in that direction?
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: So if it feels your tank to serve others and to make a difference in the lives of others, you should begin today, even with the current position you have, moving in that direction.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: That's the power to life.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_00: We're not stuck.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: We actually have options, we have choices, and we have skills, we have abilities.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_00: And those skills and abilities, choices and options, they need to be exercised.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_00: Otherwise, they fall flat without value.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_00: The majority of people today are fiercely afraid of beginning again, of restarting for fear of failure.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_00: They're thinking if I try and reinvent myself now and I'm in the second half of life, what happens if I fail?
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_00: Well, that's odd.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_00: Most people don't try, like children, learning to walk.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_00: They aren't sitting there analyzing, well, what if it doesn't work?
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_00: What if I fall?
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_00: That's an interesting perspective.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: And it's a perspective that's been taught via the culture, this conservative, just reserved, safe approach to life.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_00: But in reality, we're only surviving, we're only existing, we're not thriving.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_00: You will thrive when you move into your purpose, when you start operating in the zone that actually fires you up, that gives you juice, that charges you.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_00: And that happens when you pivot.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_00: You have to pivot to your next.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_00: So, for example, inside of your heart, there's something that you always dreamed of doing.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_00: You still remember it.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_00: What were your dreams like when you were in high school and getting ready to graduate?
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_00: Is this the life that you actually envisioned for your future?
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_00: Is it possible that you could be currently captive in a life or in a lifestyle or in a circumstance that you didn't even choose?
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_00: This isn't what you chose, but it kind of happened over time.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_00: Do you know?
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_00: That's why the company you keep is so critical.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_00: Because if the company that you keep doesn't challenge you to be better, challenge you to be greater, then you get stuck.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_00: You get stuck in normal and complacency in less than you never become who you were put on the planet to be.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_00: And if you don't activate your next, if you don't shift and start going in a different direction, the sad reality is that your destiny will die with you.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_00: But it's not too late.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_00: All we have to do is pivot, change directions.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_00: That's how this works.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_00: I am so proud of you, so excited for your future, and I want to congratulate you in advance because you recognize there's no time to waste.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_00: Let's activate your next.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_00: I'll see you on the next five minute episode.
