0:20
now and I know that this this episode is
0:22

0:28
happens to spark some sort of sense of
0:30
Hope in you ignition to start just share
0:33
it with one person that's all I'm asking
0:35

0:44
seconds uh fresh ink every Tuesday in
0:48
your inbox I create a new comic and I
0:50
write stories about my life that
0:51
hopefully starts an impact for you it's
0:53
under two minute read and I'm not trying
0:55
to sell you anything that's it for
0:57
promos but I I just want to dive into
0:59
this idea that's called bold action what
1:01
I just did there is being bold enough to
1:03
tell you exactly what I want um and we
1:07
avoid that all the time we're afraid to
1:10
take bold action because if we take bold
1:12
action then they're going to judge me
1:13
and they're going to think bad of me and
1:14
blah blah blah blah blah we all tell
1:16
ourselves all those things but have you
1:19
ever noticed those people out there that
1:20
are in the world that take those bold
1:22
actions your eyeballs go right to them
1:23
and you're like man I wish I could be
1:25
that
1:26
bold the question is is what would
1:28
actually happen if you decide today that
1:31
whatever that thing is I'll give you a
1:33
second to think about it because you're
1:35
thinking about it right now that you
1:37
know that you want to do but you're too
1:39
afraid to do it because it seems too
1:40
bold to actually put that into the world
1:42
because what happens if it's if it
1:43
actually comes true what would happen if
1:46
today you did something very bold in
1:49
that direction maybe you got a job that
1:51
you just hate and it just drives you
1:55
crazy why wouldn't what's what's wrong
1:57
with taking bold action to find
1:59
something that that you actually
2:00
enjoy maybe it's the opposite maybe you
2:03
have something that is making you so
2:05
happy that you go if I could do this all
2:07
the time then my world would be amazing
2:10
but you think you don't know how to do
2:11
it like what would happen if you took
2:13
bold action and taken a class figure it
2:15
out look it online I don't know YouTube
2:17
you can pretty much find anything that
2:19
you ever want to do on YouTube right
2:21
now taking that bold action for yourself
2:25
get you more of what you want and this
2:28
is what's absolutely amazing and this is
2:30
I'm going to tell you from my standpoint
2:32
this was such a huge aha for me because
2:36
I was such a good person at giving stuff
2:40
to everybody else like I want to just
2:42
give give give give then anytime anybody
2:44
tried to give back I would kind of go
2:46
like well wait a minute I don't I don't
2:47
know what what's the catch what's the
2:49
thing and I would always kind of like I
2:51
was a bad receiver of the stuff or a bad
2:55
take or what do you want to call it
2:58
because I felt like I didn't deserve it
3:00
or I felt like you know I wasn't what I
3:03
was taking bold action on for me was
3:05
simple to me so why should I you know
3:08
ask for anything back because wasn't
3:10
like I spent a lot of time doing that
3:12
but you did spend a lot of time doing
3:14
that because you figured that thing out
3:15
about you that's what made it easier
3:17
that's why people come to you to ask you
3:19
those things because you were bold
3:21
enough to declare to the world this is
3:23
what I
3:24
want I want to argue this statement at
3:27
that like when you take bold
3:30
action it is like you are grabbing a
3:33
megaphone and you're declaring to the
3:34
world I am here for far too long I have
3:37
denied myself the ability to do this
3:40
stuff but no more now I'm going to allow
3:43
myself to grow into the thing and the
3:45
person that I want to be because life is
3:47
waiting to come to life through and as
3:49
me and the more I keep denying it the
3:52
more I keep holding back that from the
3:54
world that isn't ego speak that is
3:57
actual what you are able to do you are
4:00
put here to create stuff whatever that
4:04
is you have to understand you yeah you
4:09
the person listening to this are the
4:11
only one in the world that can do the
4:13
things that you do the way that you do
4:15
it now if that doesn't make you realize
4:18
that that's a pretty bold thing there is
4:22
no one else on this world that can do
4:25
exactly the way you do what you do the
4:27
way you do it this is why you do
4:32
it now what would happen if you could
4:34
figure out a way to make that be
4:36
something you do all the
4:37
time like why let that stop you of
4:42
course you are going to have failures
4:44
don't let anybody ever tell you and
4:45
don't fall for any of that crap that all
4:47
these gurus sell online that all you got
4:49
to do is connect X Y and Z and then
4:51
magically your life becomes this thing
4:54
that is not true don't fall for it I
4:57
fell for it it is not true what happens
4:59
is it's taking bold action all the time
5:02
putting out enough stuff out there and
5:04
telling people what you want not what
5:06
you wish for this is what I want and
5:08
this includes declaring it to yourself
5:10
too it declares getting out of your own
5:13
damn way because for so long what you'll
5:16
do is you'll say what you
5:18
want and then inside you go like yeah
5:21
but I don't I don't deserve that that's
5:24
not for
5:25
me so it's like why take the Bold action
5:27
when you just completely get rid of the
5:28
whole thing instead what we take is bold
5:30
action and say like okay you know what
5:32
I'm gonna take the chance today I'm G to
5:34
tell the world what I want and then I'm
5:36
going to get out of the damn
5:38
way now that doesn't mean it magically
5:40
just floats in and all that stff like
5:42
that because I'm telling you right now
5:43
because I've experienced it myself you
5:46
are going to feel like an impostor like
5:49
you're are lying to yourself you're
5:50
going to feel that there is no way that
5:53
just declaring what I want to the world
5:54
will actually work then guess what
5:56
happens one day it does and everything
6:00
that you think that you got right and
6:02
denying all this stuff comes crumbling
6:04
down and you realize that you've been
6:06
lying to yourself the whole time you'll
6:07
kick yourself in the ass going like why
6:09
did I wait so long to allow myself to be
6:15
great you just got to trust me in this
6:17
I'm telling you where I'm sitting right
6:18
now this is exactly what I've
6:20
experienced and why the passion is
6:22
coming through is because I am in that
6:25
position of why did I wait so long
6:30
and I needed to kick myself in the ass
6:31
and I figured it out and I started
6:32
writing about it I started telling
6:34
myself and then what magically started
6:36
happening people started showing up
6:38
people that I didn't even realize were
6:39
paying attention to the stuff started
6:42
connecting me with other people and
6:43
stuff stuff started happening and I'm
6:44
going like whoa what's going on I don't
6:46
know what and then I reminded myself oh
6:49
yeah I took bold action I focused on
6:52
what I wanted not what I didn't want and
6:54
I was brave enough to tell people those
6:57
things and the the beauty of it is is
7:00
that it's not
7:02
external that's that's the awesome part
7:04
of it is I think we think that if I just
7:07
create that one thing that I can sell a
7:10
bazillion widgets to all those things or
7:13
you know whatever it could be it's all
7:16
internal the world you want to create is
7:18
created
7:20
inside so the big Brave bold action
7:22
you're taking is how to create the world
7:25
inside of you to see it come into
7:28
manifest in the outside
7:31
world and it works
7:35
100% you know when you declare to people
7:38
what you want it's amazing how many
7:41
things show up to let you know you're on
7:45
the right path and they'll come in and
7:48
they will kick your knees out and it'll
7:51
shock you and and it'll leave you
7:54
speechless to where you can't explain
7:57
how but it all all comes from you taking
8:00
that first step towards bold action I'll
8:03
tell you a quick story about myself when
8:05
I was
8:07
diagnosed i' never believed that I was
8:10
going to be dead in seven months no
8:11
matter what any doctor told me I would
8:14
always tell them the exact opposite
8:16
that's bull that's when you're
8:17
telling a doctor that does this for a
8:18
living that you're they're wrong when I
8:21
don't know anything about this that's
8:23
bold action then I did everything I
8:25
could to make that reality I meditated I
8:28
pictured myself I I in my mind would
8:31
visualize these little things coming in
8:32
and taking the stuff out of my brain
8:35
when I'd get radiation I would imagine
8:36
when I took my chemo pills thank you for
8:38
allowing me this healing to happen and
8:41
I'm going to let this part of me go and
8:42
I would just tell myself internally this
8:47
story and then I'm waiting for some sort
8:49
of external validation in it and instead
8:51
what I start to do is I let go of the
8:53
expectation of that coming because when
8:55
I was looking for it everywhere and I
8:57
wasn't seeing it I thought I was doing
8:58
something wrong
9:00
instead I stuck to my guns I'm going to
9:02
continue to tell everybody that I run
9:04
across that I that they got it wrong
9:05
with me and I'm going to continue to
9:07
move in that
9:08
direction and then magically stuff
9:11
starts happening like Foo Fighters walk
9:14
is f fighter song Walk is my go-to song
9:19
for everything whenever I'm having a bad
9:20
thing the the words in it it just it's
9:23
you guys know what I'm talking about
9:24
when you have something that just speaks
9:26
deep to your heart that's that's what
9:27
this song is for me
9:29
in the last day of treatment um my wife
9:32
has taking me to treatment and as we
9:34
pull into the cancer
9:36
center literally as soon as she takes
9:40
the ticket out of the
9:42
thing apple is on random thing on my in
9:46
our car and Foo Fighter walk
9:48
play now I'm like tripped out right
9:52
because it's really it's a very
9:53
emotional
9:54
day
9:56
and I asked her the obvious question
9:59
like did you do that which of course she
10:00
was like why would I ever do that to
10:02
you
10:03
and I realized in that moment this this
10:07
was the universe or whatever telling me
10:10
that I'm on the right
10:12
track that I was done with this
10:15
portion and of course as you could
10:17
probably imagine like uh actually I'm
10:19
surprised I got through telling that
10:20
story without breaking down right now
10:22
but I was just an emotional ball and
10:24
then when I walked in two nurses that I
10:26
had been saying hi to every day when I
10:28
walked by them cards for me because they
10:29
found me on social media to let me know
10:31
that they were wishing me the
10:33
best again I didn't have anything to do
10:36
with that other than telling bold action
10:37
letting people know what I would
10:39
do and then I meet with my doctor my
10:42
doctor tells me about how sad the nurses
10:44
are that I'm not going to be part of
10:45
coming in here anymore but they never
10:47
want to see me again all these things
10:49
are showing up when you start to realize
10:52
that all I did was stick true to who I
10:55
was I was brave enough to tell everybody
10:58
what I wanted to do and then I took bold
11:00
action towards it I would not be
11:03
denied no I don't want anybody out there
11:05
to have to go through the stuff that I
11:07
went through to to understand this but I
11:10
am telling you that everything that
11:12
you're trying to do can come to life for
11:15
you by taking that action towards it
11:18
don't worry about the outcome don't
11:20
worry if it's good or if it's bad or any
11:22
of that stuff just keep taking action
11:25
towards it and what you'll find is that
11:28
people will know notice and those people
11:30
that notice will come in and they will
11:32
jar your
11:34
world and they will shake everything
11:36
that makes you go like maybe there's
11:37
something to that and out of that comes
11:39
bravery and that bravery will continue
11:41
to get you to step day in day out a
11:43
little bit in each the direction of that
11:45
until what you realize is that before
11:47
you know it you're sitting here and
11:50
everything that you said would happen
11:53
has happened and then guess what that
11:55
brings it brings more boldness because
11:57
your confidence starts to build up
11:59
and then you start to build a different
12:01
world but then the good part is is that
12:03
you're not starting out without the
12:04
knowledge of knowing how to do it
12:05
anymore because you've done it once
12:07
before and your confidence builds up so
12:11
it goes back to what we talk about what
12:13
hope stands for being hyper aware what
12:16
am I thinking what am I doing what am I
12:17
saying at this present moment that is
12:19
helping me create what I want being
12:21
openhearted enough loving yourself
12:23
enough to do the tough stuff calling
12:25
yourself out being willing to tell
12:27
yourself that you're doing it wrong that
12:29
you need to be more bold and then it's
12:31
being persistent showing up every single
12:34
day every day is a reset you get to
12:37
reset and start over what you messed up
12:40
yesterday you get a chance to rewi
12:41
rewrite it today but the cool part is
12:43
you get to rewrite it today knowing what
12:45
you knew and what you learned from
12:46
yesterday and apply it on how you
12:48
actually get those and when those three
12:50
things come together hyper awareness
12:51
open-heartedness and persistence you're
12:53
empowered and this is how you start to
12:55
create your world you bring all those
12:58
things together
12:59
and it's like you're Voltron in this
13:01
future that you have been looking
13:03
for and you'll one day sit back and go
13:06
like how in the heck did this happen how
13:07
am I meeting these people how are these
13:09
things coming to be and all you really
13:12
come to realize is that all you're doing
13:13
is just being
13:15
you so you're far more powerful than you
13:19
think you
13:20
are and I just want to wrap this up by
13:22
just telling you one thing that maybe
13:25
you don't hear this enough and if that's
13:27
the case uh I'm sorry but I just want to
13:30
let you
13:32
know that you're really
13:35
amazing like life will kick you
13:38
sometimes and it's gonna be
13:40
tough
13:41
and it'll take you by surprise
13:44
too but through that process the
13:48
greatest thing you'll ever find is
13:50
yourself and I know you probably don't
13:52
know
13:53
me but I know that there's greatness
13:56
inside of
13:57
you I want I want to encourage you to
13:59
explore it be bold enough to take the
14:01
chance on
14:02
yourself because the world is waiting
14:04
for everything that's stuck between your
14:06
ears to come forward and you are the
14:08
only one that can create that now you
14:11
going to deny us all that stuff or you
14:12
going to help bring that to life so
14:15
that's a challenge
14:16
today let's see your greatness take a
14:19
chance on yourself you're gonna be
14:22
great so guys if any of this lands with
14:25
you speaks to you in any sort of way
14:26
maybe you just like the food Fighters
14:28
you like that shout out forward it to
14:30
Dave gr I'd love to talk to him sometime
14:33

14:34
means to me but really truly I want to
14:39
