From Ideas to Action: Embracing Imperfection and Harnessing Commitment for Success
Send me a message - Show love, give feedback, ask a question.
What if success is more about taking action than having a fat bank account or a genius-level IQ? This episode unpacks the profound impact of developing a bias for action, challenging the conventional wisdom that links success to wealth or intelligence. Drawing from my experience mentoring thousands of individuals, I share how turning ideas into reality requires more than just plans—it demands energy, effort, and the courage to embrace imperfection. By adopting the mantra "80% is done," we can push past the paralysis of perfectionism and ensure our ideas thrive in a world that waits for no one.
Confronting self-doubt and fear in the digital age, I unveil my struggles with stepping into the social media spotlight. After initially dismissing its importance, I realized that authentic self-expression through these platforms was key to reaching more people and scaling my efforts. Venturing into this space brought internal fears to the surface, which I describe as "fear demons." Through candid reflection, I reveal strategies for managing these intrusive thoughts, emphasizing that uplifting others can be a powerful tool for overcoming our own insecurities.
Finally, we explore the transformative power of commitment in achieving our goals. My experiences in property investment illustrate how unwavering dedication and urgency can lead to success, underscoring the importance of keeping plans discreet and focusing on optimism. Whether you lean towards spirituality, science, or a personal belief system, the episode demonstrates how true commitment can activate a guiding force, aligning opportunities with our deepest desires. By making decisive commitments, we set the stage for unlocking greatness and inviting synchronicity into our lives.

Hello and, I guess, welcome. Yeah, well, no, definitely welcome. There's no guess about it. Yeah, he's only going to start a big podcast, hasn't he? And I thank you for listening.
Speaker 1:So I think in this episode I'd like to talk about getting started, started like action and actually cultivating a bias for action, and it's probably I'm bearing in mind like. So I've I've operated quite a few industries already and I've operated in roles where, um, like, I've mentored loads of people and probably, directly and indirectly, through the course of the many things I've done, I've been responsible for mentoring probably close to, I'd say, 10,000 people, I would say, directly and indirectly. And probably the biggest determining factor of if someone's going to be successful or not that I can see is actually it's not how much money they have or anything like that, or how smart they are or anything, it's actually how much action are they putting in and actually, what is, what is their, what is their orientate orientation towards action? Okay, so one thing I would say is, like, action will sorry, I just merged it, merging in turn, fantastic, you know what, actually, even this podcast, yeah, so, like, ultimately, you know, I knew it was something that I wanted to do. You know, it ticks a lot of boxes on my own personal growth. It ticks a lot of boxes in terms of helping other people. It ticks a lot of boxes in terms of putting out information, in terms of just basically spreading my knowledge and actually spreading the methodologies and tactics and mindset Actually, more importantly, the mindset required to actually get results, especially in the modern day and age and from a position of essentially like minus, from a position of actually not seeing a way out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so, like even with this. So obviously, in terms of the overall form of success, yeah, so it goes conceive, believe and achieve right. So think of what you're going to do, form the plan, form the goal, get the target in your mind, actually believe that you're capable of doing it. It's a crucial step, but then actually go out and actually do it. Yeah, like nothing, nothing ever happens without anyone actually doing anything. Like nothing ever happens without action.
Speaker 1:Any idea, by the way, yeah, any concept. To bring it into fruition, it takes energy. So energy can either be in the form of well, I mean energy takes many forms. So life is energy, right, but typically in terms of entrepreneurship, typically in terms of getting an idea off the ground. It requires action like human energy actual physical doingness and often you can substitute that yourself if you have money. Actual physical doingness, yeah, and often you can substitute that yourself if you have money, so you can pay to expedite the process, but really all you're doing is just using money as a transfer of energy in place for a bit of hard graft and in place of doing, or you're paying someone else to do it the doing still needs to be done.
Speaker 1:I also believe that time is energy. Yeah, yeah, we're not. We're not getting actual. I, you know we're not, not delving into physics here. This is our physics lesson yeah, but I believe that time is energy, right?
Speaker 1:So, and I actually think there's almost like an inverse relationship with time, with ideas. It's almost like the more time you give an idea to percolate, yes, obviously your plans can become more sound and you could have more time to figure it out and to plan, to go over it for the umpteenth time in your head, just to make sure that you know everything is worked out and all sorts of stuff. But like and again, like. This is just, you know, from like, from what I've seen've seen in the lives of others and also actually what I've seen in my own life. The longer that I wait to get an idea out there, the less chance that idea actually has of actually being anything, of actually being anything. Yeah, and when you think of it in the way that especially, look, if you're the sort of person where you think, yeah, but actually, misha, I just I really have to get it all figured out, I really have to, like I need to look before I leave. All right, well, fair enough, like do that.
Speaker 1:But you know, if it starts going on too long months, years, yeah, if any idea takes years to to actually get started, then actual fact, like how good is that figuring out in the first place? And what plan is so good that you can put it down for two years and come back to it and then go, oh yeah, this plan that I figured out two years ago is ready. Like chances are, if it's taking you that long. Like the world moves so fast, like technology moves. You know we have trends that rise and fall. You know there's a whole wide world out there with humanity mingling. There's no plan which is going to hold against a test of time for too long. Again, it becomes an inverse relationship the longer you wait, the less likely that these plans that you're figuring out are actually going to be viable, the less likely that these plans that you're figuring out are actually going to be viable.
Speaker 1:And another thing working against the planner, the figure it out, the procrastinator and, by the way, I'm not calling anybody out, because I'm also human, so I also feel what it's like to have an idea and to want to do it and to be beset by doubts and beset by the need to get it all worked out. That I fully understand. But one of the things which really helps me and I've actually been carrying this around in my head as a little kind of like mind trick for myself, probably now, for now, like five years, yeah In my head is the phrase 80% is done. Yeah, 80% is done. And that's basically just reference to a concept. I'll be honest with you, I'm not sure. I think I've heard it from multiple sources. You know, like on the come up, I just consume, you know, self-help business, entrepreneur audio books.
Speaker 1:Like I've read them all, yeah, entrepreneur audio books. Like I've read them all. Yeah, and but, but, but, but this bit of advice, like it's, like it's absolute fire. Okay, because even just from a mathematical principle, yeah, there's diminishing returns. The closer you get to perfection. Yeah, so, the closer you get to perfection, the diminishing returns, which means that there's more and more and more energy required to reach 100%. Yeah, that's 100% of anything.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so, and even, like you know, I've stepped out of my comfort zone massively with this, with this podcast, and even you know, even me, you know, mr, 80% is done, like you know, I've, you know, I'm thinking oh, it needs to be edited, it needs to be like, it needs to be like, polished. I need thumbnails, I need, I need like a mic, I need to go buy a. I need to go buy a, you know, like a studio mic, one of those like little circular mesh things. I don't even know what they're for, but I definitely need one. I need to have one of those typical thumbnails where I look surprised and I'm pointing at some floating text. You know the sort of typical stuff, right, because everyone else has got it and that's professional and they're doing really, really well, but actually, no, no, because 80% is done and, in actual fact, it's easy to get to 80%. Again, this is what I'm telling myself. Again, I've got the doubts as well. So I know what it feels like to procrastinate. At one point I was the best procrastinator in the world because I would positively procrastinate. I'd be doing research and figuring out multiple takes.
Speaker 1:Now with this, and I'm really sorry by the other side, the the the other side of of launching when not fully polished, is audio quality. Yeah, so I'm already aware of the last one. The last episode which I did, the audio quality wasn't, wasn't very good. Hopefully I've fixed that now. Yeah, so I've got my earbuds in. Yeah, I've done a sound test. Yeah, hopefully I've fixed that.
Speaker 1:But all these things, like all the extra tuning, the moving from 80% to 85% to 90% to 95%, they can be done on the fly, they can be done as you go. Yeah, but the trick is actually to get started, the trick is actually to put it out there. And another thing that again just another pitfall. I'm just spreading knowledge here. Like simple as that right is, try to do it in the dark, not do it in the dark, as in like, turn off the lights but do it in the dark. Don't, don't, don't tell anyone. Yeah, that best friend, you've got that you tell everything about. I just don't like unless they are 100% equal, bringing the same energy, bringing the same fire, bringing the same desire, and you know 100% that you're going to say, oh yeah, I'm going to do this. They're going to go oh my God, wow, that's amazing, you can do it, go for it. You've got this, launch it now. Yeah, unless you're getting that kind of response, then all you're doing is dissipating energy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there seems to be something about it, I can't remember. You know, this could have been like a Brian Tracy back in the day, yeah, but it's so true, the more that you seem to just like discuss your idea. It's almost like your brain thinks, oh well, that's good. Now, you know, you tell a friend, oh yeah, you know, I'm going to go into property. You know, yeah, I'm going to be a property investor. I'm going to do this. I'm going to start with rent to rent, then I'm going to, you know, build up. I'm going to be a property investor. I'm going to do this. I'm going to start with rent to rent, and then I'm going to build up. I'm going to do this.
Speaker 1:And you start to like the act of telling everybody your plan. It's like it just ticks a box. It's almost like you know, you sort of read things like. Your subconscious mind can't tell the difference between real and imagined, right? So I'm sure everyone's heard that. Well, I think this is the same thing. Like you're busy spreading, telling everyone who would listen about your plan. It's almost like you're trying to get the everyone who would listen about your plan. It's almost like you're trying to get the validation. I say you yeah Again. Like I've been there before and I've seen it countless times in other people as well. Yeah, I've seen it countless times in other people.
Speaker 1:And if somebody's bringing plans to you, somebody's telling you what they're going to do, do them a favour and say that sounds great. When are you getting started? What's stopping you from getting started right now? Yeah, typically the answer you know it's always oh well, I've just got to insert whatever ducks they're currently herding like cats into a line and listen. Like I know for a fact that what I'm saying, like everyone's heard before, yeah, you're never going to get your ducks all lined up. You know, once you've won, if you wait until all the lights are on green before you set off, you're never going to get anywhere.
Speaker 1:All that sort of stuff, yeah, it's so cliche. Yeah, but I promise you it's a killer of dreams. Yeah, immensely cliche, but I promise you that failing to act on your desires, on your goals, on your plans, on your dreams, it's an absolute killer, yeah. So how can we avoid it then? So well, one way is actually just to recognize the futility of trying, of trying to start when, when everything is perfect, like also, like I'm really sorry to start calling people out here, but like if you're, if you're, if you're gonna tell me actually misha, like you know what I hear, what you're saying, but I can't change who I am. I'm just the sort of person where it has to be perfect because I'm a perfectionist. I'm a perfectionist and it simply must be perfect. I can't change.
Speaker 1:You're one of those people who can launch at 80%. That's good. Yeah, I am not an 80%er. Yeah, I am. I'm a 100%er, always happy, always will be All right, cool. Who are you that you have that level of hubris that you believe you can do anything to 100% Like? Think about it. Who are you? I presume another human being, but you've got some magical skill to take things to 100% Like. Who even? Who has that? Who has that ability? Who has the ability to launch anything at 100% ability? Who has the ability to launch anything at 100%. I feel like the expectations need to be rewritten, the expectations need to be adjusted.
Speaker 1:I think a lot of it does come with because it's fear. Right, I think Napoleon Hill that states that there's three different fears. So the fear of poverty, fear of ill health, the fear of loss of love, the fear of death. The fear of death, the fear of criticism and the fear of Help me out. So we've got death, ill health, criticism, poverty, loss of love, and it'll come to me. For now, there's five fears love, and it'll come to me. For now there's five years. Yeah, for now there's five. Uh, maybe, maybe six, depending on my memory. Um, but yeah, no, listen, like the fear of criticism, fear of poverty.
Speaker 1:You know, they often play a role in terms of, you know, getting inside your head whenever starting a new idea. Yeah, I'm not, let me go back to me and this podcast. Like, the first thing is like, don't benchmark yourself against other people. Like don't benchmark yourself on what you are doing and what you plan to do against other people. You can benchmark positively. Yeah, so I do that, so I go, okay, well, I, you know, at the end of the pocket. Okay, so can I speak fairly? But I can all right, cool, um, uh, because other people you know, you know you're like, what are other people doing when they're doing podcasts, while they're speaking, and they're basically sharing their knowledge with other people and other people who, like what they have to say, listen to them. Can I do that? Yes, do I believe I can do that? Yes, okay, so now I'm positively benchmarking myself against other people, but, like, that's where it stops, that's where it has to stop.
Speaker 1:So, positively benchmark yourself in terms of helping you see it in the belief, helping you to form the idea, but in terms of actually the action and the outcome, you really have to authentically express yourself onto this world. Yeah, and the only way that you can authentically express yourself onto this world is if you take action on the thing which you are doing. Okay, even then, like in this day and age, where social media is so vital to business success and I say so vital, by the way, for a long time I just ignored social media. Even when I was doing the whole marketing thing, I just ignored social media. I haven't really been active on social media since I worked on the Google project. So social media isn't necessarily vital to get started. You don't necessarily have to show the world up to a certain point, but actually there does come a time where, to hit scale, more people need to know that you exist, which is obviously the state that I'm at.
Speaker 1:But you know, more to the point, and the reason why I'm referencing it is because of the fear of criticism. So for me, yeah, you know, confident guy, you know like I'm out here doing my thing, you know not giving an F about what everybody thinks, but no, actually, like, if I'm being honest, like like this terrifies me. Yeah, yeah, of course it does. And it's the same thoughts. It's the same thoughts which I'm assuming you know, everyone else being human, that everyone else feels as well. Oh, what if? What if I'm not understood? What if, for me, what if my stutter comes back and I embarrass myself? What if nobody listens and it's just me talking into the void? What if you know, like I say something wrong and it's actually incorrect or whatever? Or you know, like I don't know, but like these doubts, these I would say like fear demons I don't actually feel like demons all over me, but it does help me, it helps to conceptualize these fear demons Roughing me up, trying to convince me that I can't do it, trying to kill my dreams, these dream killers, bearing in mind that life is energy.
Speaker 1:You get positive and you get negative energy. We all know, as human beings, we can exist within the positive and we can exist within the negative, and we feel that within our body, we feel the vibrational effects of that. We know we feel good. We know we feel good, we know we feel bad. Yeah, and what I believe is that you can't necessarily stop yourself from thinking thoughts. Yeah, thoughts happen to you, whether you want them to or not, good and bad, but you can control which thoughts you listen to, you can control which thoughts you hold in mind. You can control which thoughts you repeat.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so those, like you know, those, don't have any expectation that it's going to get necessarily easier in terms of dealing with doubts and dealing with worries and dealing with procrastination, because no, at least for me, I'd say it doesn't get easier. Like, the only way that I've figured out how to, how to essentially um, overcome it is is to, is to, it's not given the time of day. Yeah, like for me, like I conceptualize it as a war, I conceptualize it as a, like, as a battle. You Like, you've got to do whatever you've got to do in your own mind to get the upper hand. Yeah, for me it helps to think of fear, demons, you know. And again, I don't. I'm not really thinking that I've got like horned creatures following me around or anything silly like that. Yeah, but I do have whispers in my head that I'm not.
Speaker 1:I'm not, you know, like nice in terms of like you know you're gonna fail. You know, like why are you doing this? This is embarrassing. Like stop it, like don't, don't, don't put yourself out there. You're doing all right, you don't even need to do this. So why are you purposely putting yourself in harm's way?
Speaker 1:Those aren't me, because I, in sound mind and body, have decided that it's actually time to help people. It's actually time to help people who maybe don't know. It's actually time to help people who are maybe on the cusp of doing something great, actually finding their greatness within them. And it's time to give back into humanity. It's time to uplift, and if I uplift even one person, this whole thing would have been worth it. It would have been worth my sacrifice and it would have been worth my struggle. It would have been worth dealing with those doubts. Yeah, so I've decided that is sound mind and body. That is my plan, that is my desire, that's my goal, yeah, and I'm going to give it everything in 2025 to make sure that that happens.
Speaker 1:So what are these other thoughts? Where are they coming from? Yeah, our simple answer is they're not me. We're all networks, we're all connected. Yeah, there's a hive mind going on, called infinite intelligence or what have you.
Speaker 1:But those negative thoughts which don't resonate with my goal, first things first. Like you know, it's not about dismissing them, by the way, it's not about dismissing them out of hand, but being like pie in the sky, just like everything's always going to be rosy, nothing, nothing's ever going to go wrong, like it's not. It's not about that, but it's not recognizing. Well, actually, like, like. Are these taking me closer to my goals or further away? Yeah, so that really helps me. So, conceptualize and actually really get through that. Not every thought is you or stemmed from you, even if you're having a hard time getting your head around that. Yeah, you know some thoughts are intrusive. Yeah, so you really got to pay no mind. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Another thing which really works for me is to basically play a best case scenario, a worst case scenario and a likely scenario. Yeah, so these are all just sort of, like you know, like tricks to get started, basically, like you know, like tricks to get to get started, basically. So, like I'm, I'm an optimist. Yeah, I'm cultivating the habit of being an optimist. Yeah, so I readily run positive movies in my head, in my head. So I'm going to launch a podcast and it's going to be famous. Yay, I'm going to get lots of people subscribed and I'm going to help some people. More importantly, and some people, they're going to realise that I'm actually absolute fire and that I know what I'm talking about and they're going to go.
Speaker 1:Misha, how can I work with you? That's going to be amazing. Yeah, all right, great stuff Positively done. That comes easy. Yeah, but you know, I guess, coming at it from the perspective of, I guess, procrastinator or figure-outer or someone who's worried about the fear of criticism, maybe you run the negative scripts first. Yeah, like, oh, I'm going to launch this and nobody's going to listen to it. It's going to be an absolute waste of time. I'm going to just for one year, I'll have essentially just, well, yeah, a waste of my time. It's going to be embarrassing. Yeah, okay, all right, well, well, yeah, waste of our time, it's going to be embarrassing, alright, well, honour that as a thought. Yeah, so we've got the positive movie, we've got the negative movie and, bearing in mind, if you're going to do this, really just town it, really just town it and actually kind of put okay, well, what is the worst thing that could happen?
Speaker 1:What is the very worst thing that could happen? Actually exist in that moment for a second, feel the energy of that and then just ask yourself, if that did happen, are you going to be okay? Is everything going to be? Is the world going to turn? Are you still going to be all right If the worst case happens, let's say you're on the cusp of something and it takes a financial investment.
Speaker 1:If you've made that move and that financial investment, you put it in and it didn't work, are you still going to be okay? Are you still going to survive? Chances are, the idea is yes. And if you come into something where you're literally putting your very, very, very last bit of money into it, well, actually it's a sort of thing which I would do. I can't advise you against it, but you know, chances are you're still going to be okay. Yeah, but then, more importantly, more to the point you know, then it's time to run a more likely scenario. Okay, so all right, so you've figured out, you've run the movie in terms of worst case scenario or, if you do this backwards, you've got best case scenario first.
Speaker 1:But actually, what is most likely to happen? Yeah, like you know and for me what I did with the podcast is all most likely I'm going to start out and it will be shouting into a sea of nothing enough, because no one's going to know that I exist. Yeah, some people are going to find it and not resonate with me, for whatever reason. But likelihood is and I see this in real life in terms of people who I meet day to day some people really dig me. So if I do this for long enough and I give myself one year, then in a year's time of shouting into the void year, then in a year's time of shouting into the void, uh well, yeah, like the likelihood is, I'm going to find at least at least some people that are going to really dig me, like they would do in real life, and I'm going to be able to provide value. I'm going to be able to help free value, by the way, I'm literally going to be able to, to, to speak to them in a way that resonates with them and actually inspires them into action, and I'm going to be able to lead the way and show them that it's actually possible for them, in the same way that I believe for me that it's possible for me.
Speaker 1:All right, so there we go. Aha, okay, fantastic, okay. So, um, sorry about the, the audio problems again, again, 80% is done, all right, so what have we covered then? So, all right, time, yeah, there's an inverse relationship between the amount of time it takes and the likelihood that you're actually going to get going. Yeah, so, move with speed, move with urgency. Okay, do it in the dark. Yeah, like you don't have to tell everyone and their dog what you're doing. The idea is good enough, just get it done. Okay, what else are we coming? Running different movies? Yeah, so if you're, if you're, optimistic like me, yeah, all right.
Speaker 1:Maybe this one is less important, because if I'm running optimistic scripts, like you know, like in my head, I'm not just gonna like go. Oh well, no, no, hang on, let me, let me just, let me just cool, put poor water on this fire and run some negative ones. No, no, no, this is for overcoming the doubts. Yeah, so your brain goes to catastrophe, you recognize it. Yeah, all right, thank you very much for that brain. But what happens if it's wildly successful? Okay, exist in that for a bit.
Speaker 1:I'm going to go, okay, well, well, we've just good, you know, we thought about the worst case before, in the best case, what's more likely, okay, and we've also discussed, you know, what I would call the fear, the fear demons. Yeah. So, um, those doubts, and that not every, not every thought, is you okay? So you know, I don't just the fact that thoughts come into your head, doubts come into your head. You can, you can, you can give them air time, so much as, like you know, like you can't stop yourself from thinking anyway, right, so give them airtime, but you decide which thoughts, um, you hold on to.
Speaker 1:But actually, probably the most important step in terms of actually achievement, actually, you know, like getting started, actually putting action in there, okay, the most important step is making a commitment, like I can't even stress enough actually thinking about it. Actually I'm not going to re-record this Like you're basically getting, you know, like it's been one take and that's that. Yeah, but I'll be on pausing for just because I'm being safe and driving and popping to Tesco, etc. But if I had my time again, I'd probably lead with it actually like commitment. It leads actually Like commitment. It leads to commitment, and that commitment can come in many different forms. By the way, yeah, but for me, by the way and you know, like it seems to be the case with other people as well yeah, when the commitment is high enough, the results are inevitable.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so, as an example, when I started my property journey so I made a commitment to myself I also went and got a property mentor. Yeah, but I paid significant sums of money to get mentored in the world of property because I realised that at that stage in time, I didn't know what I didn't know and that actually I could expedite my progress by paying someone else. But I mean, look, that's one way of looking at it. Like, just as equally valid another way of looking at it could be that the sheer amount of money that I put down spurred me into action and, actual fact, it almost didn't Like it, almost. I still procrastinated for a good two, three weeks afterwards.
Speaker 1:Well, I was like doing my logo, like a website, like all these things, by the way which people loved, like it doesn't matter if you got a logo or a website. Yeah, like if you're trying to get an idea off the ground. Yeah, like, not once, by the way, I'd love that. I'm speaking about property now. Yeah, like 146 units. Um, literally yesterday I went, I went and signed on another, another, um, you know, like another property, um, I've got, I've got properties on board in the pipeline. I've got people speaking to me looking to get involved and do deals together and deal sourcing. I've got investors reaching out asking me what sort of properties they can buy for £100,000 and all that sort of stuff. Not once, by the way, in three years, not once, not a single time. In fact, I'm going to go further. Yeah, I'm going to go further.
Speaker 1:When I was doing cryptocurrency, when I was in the marketing, like you know, not once has anybody said to me well, maybe that sounds good, but just before we get started, can I just take a look at your logo please? Like what? No one's even asked for a website, genuinely not once. Oh well, I would sign up with you, but first of all, can I just see your website? No, and you know what? If somebody did ask me, that would be an indicator for me that there's some level of distrust. They don't. They don't, they don't understand something. They're just trying to buy some time and they're using such a such a bs excuse as a just a smoke screen.
Speaker 1:Smoke screen, it's a cover. It's a cover for I don't know. Like, basically it's a cover for tell me more, because actually I just don't know enough to say yes, yeah, but yeah, I'm telling you. I hope you get the significance of that, by the way, yeah, you know your logo doesn't matter. Yeah, your website doesn't, doesn't even matter, really. I mean, you know, I I'm not gonna say don't do it, but there are quick, easy, free methods of actually getting a website.
Speaker 1:In actual fact, it's giving the idea like in a future, uh, episodes, like you know, like I'll cover all this, by the way, my plan for this podcast, I'm going to cover all this. I'm going to cover how you would get started with little to no money. I'm going to cover the best ways of getting your message out there without spending a fortune. So don't worry about this for now. But just for the case of action and a bias for action, you've got to recognise that these things you know, like you know. But anyway, right. So more to the point of commitment.
Speaker 1:So, even after I had done that, made that commitment to myself, made that commitment to my mentor, okay, I was still. I was still beset by doubts, I was still beset by it. Okay, so I covered it in a different. I think my second episode, putting myself in a winning position, actually was what got me through that. So more to the point on the commitment. That commitment needs to be big enough and bold enough that, essentially, it almost takes you past the point of no return.
Speaker 1:So, as an example for me, the commitment for this podcast was putting on social media. I hate social media, I really dislike it. Yeah, but by creating the post you know is only going on creating a bloody podcast. Going on creating a bloody podcast. I thought it'd be sure it does just just two, just two kind of um, poorly recorded, uh, you know, solo musings actually constitute a podcast. I don't even know. Yeah, but as soon as it's out there, that's commitment made.
Speaker 1:And so I can't remember who actually said the phrase, by the way, but I absolutely love it and it's stuck with me For anyone who's heard it. It's absolutely stuck with me, okay. So it's something like and apologies if I butcher it, or anything like that yeah, but it's something like while ever a person has doubts, hesitancy, there is always a chance to draw back. As soon as one makes a certain commitment, providence moves too, or providence moves with them. Yeah, and again, I'm 100% much of that, but you get with them. Yeah, and again, I'm 100% butch with that, but you get the drift.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and look, I am a spiritual AF. Yeah, I believe in the law of attraction. Yeah, I believe. In fact, it's not even a belief, it's a knowingness. I know that energies are attracted to their complementary energies, like begets, like basically Okay. So I believe wholeheartedly in in the law of attraction. Yeah, but let's just stop for a second.
Speaker 1:Even if you don't, let's say you're a christian, you believe in god, or you're a muslim, you believe in allah, or you're a buddhist and you believe that you are. You are one with the divine and you want, you want with everything. Yeah. Or you're hindu and you believe that you are one with the divine and you're one with everything, or you're Hindu and you believe that. You know we're just, you know we're part of a calvary, life is all a game and Shiva's going to come and wreck stuff up soon.
Speaker 1:Whatever that is, yeah, whatever that power is, whatever you call the, you call the, the source, uh, the being, uh, infinite intelligence, the universe, you know, whatever that is, you know you maybe? Well, I mean, if, if you're, if you're, you know what, if you're an atheist, let's do it, yeah, if you don't believe in anything, yeah, and you just think that you know, this is it. We're just some cosmic miracle. And then when you're gone, you're gone, yeah, even just looking at it from a science perspective with the reticular activated system, yeah, looking up, yeah, the reticular activated system, yeah, look it up, yeah, the reticular activated system. So, even taking it. So, whichever way you cut this spiritual, religious, scientific, yeah, when you make a decision, a real decision, a commitment, I'm going to do this. This is now my bag. Yeah, I'm not going to stop until this thing is done. Yeah, I'm in, I'm started, I'm gone. Whoa, here we go.
Speaker 1:As soon as you do that, life responds, yeah, life responds to you. All sorts of things start to happen. You start meeting people who are in harmony with your thoughts and your feelings. People start to act like the Woodworth, like synchronistic starts to happen. Or again, look, if you're atheist, then your particular activating system starts to notice things in harmony with your desires. Yeah, whichever way you want to cut it, yeah, it's just a simple, plain truth. Yeah. So I say law of attraction, I say source energy Okay, but it doesn't matter what you call the energy. Yeah, but it moves with you, it responds to you. You as a creator being shape that. Yeah, and I've referenced it before okay, but as soon as you make a decision and as soon as you put commitment behind it, truly, then you're on the way to unlocking greatness. Thank you for listening. It's been an absolute pleasure.
