Validity,
and let me tell you what I mean by face validity.
something lacks face validity. If, when you look at it, it's not
fancy, and why

Fanny girl. Ok, I could see how that would work and one or two
Biggest things in the field of psychology that has one of the most profound effects on your overall health and well being mentally, emotionally and physically is relaxation.

Face validity, so people throw it out, but the
fact of the matter is what I talk about relaxation I'm talking about dissipating,

They don't sit around asking what you can do for them or what the world can do for them. Decide who you wanna populate your space will have the courage to cut ties. You I said.
Do you really judges set boundaries? That's why I was talking about that because now, as we go into twenty twenty two, I want you to go into it saying you know what I've kind of in a passenger in my life, people that are in my life or in my life cause they destroy their there there today as they were there.
Yesterday I wouldn't choose to put him in my life. They were just there. So since we were there, they just kind of stayed there. No, no we're not going to be that way anymore. We're not going to have people there, just because they're going to be there today, just because they were there yesterday and they were there so cuz. They were there day before they're going to be there today, because you choose for them to be there. You're going to be you on purpose and part of that means you're going to choose your friends on purpose, you're, going to choose your relationships, a vegetable
Jews, my mother, I can't use my that no, but you can choose what relationship you have with them. You can choose how much of a party your life they are, and here this real, clear,
You don't have to react every time you can at this doesn't sound like a big one, but this is a big when you don't have to react every time you have a justifiable reason to be offended just because you can be offended. Does it mean you must be offended? And, oh, my god, are we a bunch of offended people in this day and time sums offended everybody. You don't have to be offended because you can be it's ok to let somethin slide pick your battles pick your battles.
You're in the last podcast I was talking about the paralegal, and I said: let me tell you something about this girl now some people would get offended that I referred to her as a girl and
of a woman. Why
anything by that.
just a newer. I worked with for twenty years when I first met her. She was eighteen, she was girl.
I was twenty years older than her. Just remember
a fixture on that level- and nobody said anything about nobody got offended about that, but some people would get offended about what you called her a girl she's, a woman. I know she's, a woman is a girl in a manner and I can fix it.
My mind and of us are today I'd say: hey girl, just our relationship, you don't have to get offended every time you can find a hook to get offended pick your battles and it's ok to let something slide. You dont have to be twenty five,
seven warrior you just don't have to be, you can be and of its important to use. Then. Ok, that's the battle you pick but understand. Every time,
Your sister, your brother, you mother, you Fran. They know where you buttons are in return. I push one of em Thanksgiving, Easter dinner is
not the time to solve your family problems. He should let it slide is important.
Now that need solving their ill, still be important next Wednesday, you
Don't need to solve at Easter Sunday at dinner. If it's really important, it will be important Wednesday and you can call them and resolve it. Then it doesn't have to be resolved just because she pokes you at Easter dinner. This don't take the bay
Be in control of yourself, you don't have to react. Every time you get poked
drink control yourself. You say a thought. Thank you were no. Thank you. It's so nice. When you are in control, I have laughed with people that have jerk me around. So bad. You wouldn't believe it.
And they think I dont know if he cuz I'll still their laugh with them, because that's
battle. I want a pic when I pick the battle. I will pick the battle. I will pick the battlefield. I will pick the battle time and I will pick the battle weapons I'm not going to. Let them choose all of that by poking me at a party. We may have this battle, but when we do, I will pick it up. I will pick the time the place, the rules, the weapons.
I will do all that tickets, they don't get to pick all of that and they may stand there and think he has no idea what I've done and that's just fine, like I said, keep your cards close to the vest they may think of why I pulled one over on him.
do they have it in what it comes time for them to know? They'll know, but it's not here at my friends wedding. That's not the time to do this. We will deal with this another time, because I have enough control that I can pick another day another time, because somebody else agenda is more important than my own and I have enough control to do that and so
You you just haven't necessarily put that on your to do list. So that's what I mean when I say clean up your social circle and you ve got people that may say
but, as you and like I said,
you call me some bitch, but you gotta long distance
are be in my inner circle. If you don't have my best interests at heart, you'll stand over there across the street and travel
watch that me, but you not going to hit me in the head with one standing behind me. If I know that's who you are you're going over, there.
If you don't, I will, but I'm not gonna have people it myself,
circle that organ stab in the back, and neither should you now we talked about clean.
If your habits, the main one, is this multitasking? What other habits do you need to put on your? What do you do? That's not in your best interests, make a list check. It twice.
And ask yourself why you're doing this? What's your pay off you dont do things and pattern. If you don't get a payoff, so won't you
and if I, what is it you do, that is not in your best interests that you don't want to do any more and that's very employ
And for you to identify, because I really want you-
To resolve that you are going to be you on purpose. That's what I said at the top of this conversation.
Remember I started our conversation last time was saying: decide who you are. What's your image, what does things it defined yourself images the right to have boundaries? Remember that
That's what I mean when I say that you need to be you on purpose. You need to be you on purpose.
You need to decide. This is who I am I choose it I own it. I purposely execute this. I make no excuses for.
This is the horse, I'm writing will evolve.
A better horse tomorrow than it was today, of course, we're all somebody different today.
and we were yesterday, but that doesn't mean at the core. You don't know who you are.

Days of your life for the day you were born and the day you find out. Why isn't that profound? The two most impact
days of your life are the day you were born and day. You find out. Why that's what I mean when I say be you on purpose.
Find out, why figure it out claim it it? That's what I mean when I said be uni being essential, be relevant, don't just be.
Be unique matter where you are dont use, be furniture become meaningful, be in this world in such a way that if you weren't there it would matter.

Self out, a role be who you are or purpose Mark TWAIN was right. There
You boys pretty important he would be here and the other day is that you find out. Why why you were born now remember I said that the secret to success is to those things that other people don't know.
It is a matter of its as apparent does matter of its at work. Wherever you are, you need to be essential.
I talk to you last week.
about knowing who you are known?
What currency is and stretching yourself
and that means getting out your comfort zone. That doesn't mean
that is going to always be a success. Only journey. It's not I'm not telling you that when you stretch yourself, you're not going to fall and skin unis, but you're not going to do a face plant, but I'm going to read you a quote from Theodore. Roosevelt you've heard it before you probably just haven't thought about it for a long time. So I'm not read you something. You haven't read before, but I want us to focus on it. Listen,
You ve heard it. It is not the critic who counts, not the man who pointed out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer deeds could have done them better. The credit
belongs to the man who is actually in the arena whose face
is marred by dust and sweat and blood who strives valiantly, who airs, who
Comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without air and shortcoming, but who
does actually strive to do the deeds? Who knows great enthusiasms the great divide,
Sean's, who spends himself in a worthy cause who,
The best knows in the end, the triumph of high achievement and who, at worst, if he fails at least fails,
while daring greatly
so that his play shall never be with those cold and timid souls.
who never no victory nor defeat. It's not the critical counts.
Not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. It's not that person sit back and throws rocks that counts,
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena whose face is marred by destined, sweat and blood. That's where the credit belongs.
The man who is in the arena.
and by man here he means human, not male or female,
Male, he means human who
face is marred by blood in sweat and dust whose,
rise valiantly who comes up short. Who does actually strive to do the deeds, the one
it's in there and mixed up who in the ear, nose high achievement or if he fails at least he fails wild daring, greatly he's not talking about somebody sit on the sidelines, he's not talking about somebody in their comfort zone.
He's talking about somebody that put it on the line and reached for the next level and he's not talk
about gladiators here. This is metaphor right.
The arena he's talking about his life. The uranium talking about is your life. Are you daring greatly? Are you reaching for that next level? Are you modeling for years?
children, what it means to live a life with passion, because I want to tell you if you are not living was
passion, you need to find some.
In this life that your passionate about, if your children don't have passion, you need to help them find something
That their passionate about, and do that you need to put down those burden, set your carrying
You need to unburden yourself. You need to give yourself permission to give yourself a break
carry these burdens. Long enough, give yourself permission.
To forgive yourself and put those burdens down, I'm quoting people today for some reason.
your Einstein said it really well, he said we can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking.
We used when we created them.
That's why I started this by saying. I want you to change your thinking. We can't solve problems,
by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them. You gotta think differently. You got to change the way you approach this world and that's what I'm asking you to do and I am asking you
To think about this, based on how to change what you want verse,
being a slave to an agenda, don't be and reactive mode,
In twenty twenty two, what I want you to do is focused on what you want.
Don't get up and react to the world where you get up and do Monday
what you did last Monday, just because it's what you did last Monday, is it? What do you want to do, and it is
What you want to do, then start a process of change to get more
you want to do that? I understand if your work in his account and you dont, like that, you kid
quit tomorrow and start fly
Fraid out of Africa or something I get, that I'm not trying
get you to be some kind of exotic dreamer, but I told you
This is not,
Dress rehearsal.
You know what the middle word of life is. Yes,.
The middle word in life is, if l, I e, if.
You don't wanna be on your death bed, saying what, if I had done this, what if I had done that you want to answer that question.
So I want to stimulate you're thinking here with a few questions. Then you may think these are kind of silly, but bear with me.
Hypothetical question number one: if you,
a hundred million dollars to Morrow morning. What would you do different.
if you woke up tomorrow and you had a hundred million dollars, what would you do different.
If you woke up tomorrow,
and you were king or queen and forest here,
in charge.
It would be your top three priorities.
If you could arrange one thing,
that happened last year. What would it be.
Just one thing: vigorous one thing:
and in your life last year, your personal life, and what about the world
if you can raise one thing in your life that happened last year. What would it be.
If you could ensure that one thing was going to happen.
In this new year. That's
arts in three days. What would that be.
So those are four questions I want you to think about. It
a hundred million dollars. What would you do instead viewer, king or queen of the forest?
would be your top three priorities if you could arrange one thing in your life from last year. What would it be
if you could ensure one thing, was gonna happen in this coming year. What would it be that will get you.
Started on the path.
The main thing I want you to do on top of everything else. I've talked about here,
and what about talked about said you need to clean up you thinkin
You need to get that noise out of your head. You need.
clean up your social circle, get rid of those toxic people.
You need to clean up your habits,
those things that are not working for you. I've said Johnny
to be you on purpose,.
No, you currency, no
What you want,
so important that you know what you want it would be
so horrible,
You spent your whole life trying to become the best accounting in the world only to find out. That's not what you wanted, that what you wanted to be was a painter or a welder or a farmer, but instead you became the best account in the world.
Or you became the best farmer when you want to be the best account. You need to make
sure you're chase
doing the right thing. The thing I want to put on top of all of it is find your passion. Fine thing makes you wanna get up.
the warning that makes you excited about being alive. What is
that thing. That makes you want sleep fast cuz. You want to get up and get back out there find that passion, and if you have it, then damn you're so fortunate, and if you don't that needs to be your quest, what is it you're passionate about and if
your vacation then great event? You're avocation application. That's ok to live,
Passion is your job, your double lucky? If that's what you were to have the money to do when you not workin, then that's ok do
But know what it is it there's nothing in this life that excite you not an it your passion about, and you need to find something.
There's got to be something in this life, did you get excited about? Don't let
Another months ago, by that you don't know what at passion is.
