Repossible

Greetings from highway A12,

You know when someone tells you something you could (READ: should) do and you don’t do it and you don’t know why you don’t do it (because it’s a good idea) and you finally, after years, realize that this is what you should be doing and then you make the bold statement that you’re going to do that that? 

Then you’re going to do it over and over? 

So that happened on Tuesday.

Greetings from Driebergen,

?Play.

?We all know what it is. But do we do it? ?What are the benefits of it? ?

?Just to compare and contrast, here are few terms for you to swish around while watching: ?

• Matter vs. Energy
• Particle vs. Wave
• Chronos vs. Kairos
• Work vs. Play

?Recognize any of those? ?

?10 minutes from the woods to get you to go out and play–and allow, let in, surrender to the greatness that will inevitably come to you when you stop … working so hard. 

?Happy Thursday.

Bradley

P.S. Geez, I’m so passionate about Play you’d think I’d write a book about it. Oh wait …

Greetings from the exotic islands in the north of The Netherlands,

?Well, at least that’s where David Chislett is.

?In the coming weeks and months, I’m going to focusing more and more on Ambassadors. I’m planning on making it the focus of my monthly newsletter (The 17th).

?You may remember last week I ?had top quality video and audio thanks to the team at BFF Visuals. They produced David’s entire online course. 

?Without BFF, David could have produced a course but it would have been of lesser quality. 

?Without me last week, he could have told his story, but not in interview format.

?We need each other, we work better when we work together. 

?But that’s all news for tomorrow. 

?Today, I ?want to talk about the actual content of David’s course: ?Rock Your Writing. 

?Well, actually better than me just telling you about it, let’s let David tell us about it. 

?Below is our 16-minute chat about his writing course that’s not a grammar course, not a book-writing course, but a course that is going to help you get across what you want to actually say more efficiently and effectively. 

?Thanks for watching this week and let me know what you think of his course!

Greetings an audio visual studio in Amsterdam,

Wait! Where’s Pepper!?

I know. So crazy.

I said yes to something and one thing lead to another. Here’s the mathematical formula: 

1. Know the outcome of when you say no
2. Don’t know the outcome of when you say yes
3. Say yes
4. Be open to what happens
5. Explore
6. Adventure
7. Play

If you say yes to something unknown in the coming week, reply to this email or comment under this YouTube video and let me know about it. 

Until then, keep saying no until you say yes.

Keep your frequency high. 

Bradley

P.S. The video we were recording that night was for this: Rock Your Writing.

P.P.S. BFF Visuals were AWESOME! Check out their work here.

Greetings from the woods of Driebergen,

I’m going to keep this introduction short. 

It’s about frequency. I see it in two forms: 

1. Calendar: daily, weekly, monthly? How often should we do things, what are the things we should do, and with how much intensity should we do them?
2. Radio: the radio waves are out there and always transmitting. All you need to do is tune into your frequency to connect. And by “radio” it could mean tuning into your true self, your future, or … who knows. 

The “Calendar” is your roadmap, your blueprint, your guide. The “Radio” is your speed, your connection, your tune. 

A quick personal example from a creator’s (writer’s) perspective: 

1. Daily: writing, meditating, brushing teeth
2. Weekly: podcasting, video recording
3. Monthly: newsletter, speaking (on stage)
4. Annually: conference, evaluate

I often write books that I need to read myself. Where does the content come from? From conversations, books, listening. 

Discussing.

With whom?

With you.

I’m putting out the call to connect (get the “frequency” theme going on here?). If you have experience with a daily habit that’s working or a weekly ritual or anything else on whatever topic (health, wealth, work, personal, etc.) you’d like to pitch to me for a less-than-30-minute chat, let’s do it.

Head to frequency.repossible.com, fill in your email, and let’s set up a time. 

Keep it at a high frequency this week and let’s talk soon.

Greetings again from Bologna, Italy,

We made it to the football (soccer) match. It was super fun. Had it been easy to get tickets, that would have been the end of the story. 

It turns out, getting the tickets WAS the story. 

What if the destination, the goal, is the journey? 

Could we have it backwards? Is it possible that “getting to the game” is at least as important (or memorable or fun) as “being at the game”?

We got through the day, got to our destination with: 

1. Persistence
2. Patience
3. Passion

The destination was sweeter because the journey was longer, tougher, more of a struggle. 

Coming to you live from the center of Bologna after the soccer match, this week’s Thursday Thunder actually happened on Sunday. Crazy, I know. 

But sometimes, the Thunder comes before the lightning. The journey is the destination. 

See you next week. 

Keep your frequency high and your heart rumbling with thunder. 

Bradley

P.S. The photo above is of what someday might have been a ticket office. Not today. Not for us. Not for this journey.

Greetings from Bologna, Italy,

I ?had a call this morning with a partner, colleague, friend. For an hour, we batted around ideas, gave feedback, and took the criticism and praise.

?Did you catch that last part? ?

• ??Criticism
• Praise

?It’s not all rainbows and unicorns. When we “debate” something on our own, we only have our own opinion, experience, and mindset. When we dare to open up our ideas and plans, dreams and far-out goals, it can be scary but chances are good they’ll become stronger. 

?Set up a weekly (or monthly) call with someone with whom you can bat around ideas. Ideally, someone who’s on a similar path and nearby as far as experience. 

?Don’t just talk about pasta and the weather but dare to challenge yourself and let go of the hesitation and fear and just see what happens. 

?It’s better to get the feedback that it’s a terrible idea–or a great one–to a small audience than to flop on stage when you unveil your big new idea. 

?Make it fun, make it regular, but make it happen. 

?That photo up there is my best “teamwork” ?shot of the week as Luca hates clothes shopping (and I’m not a big fan, either), but together we made it happen.

?THEN we got ice cream. 

?Make it a great Thursday.

?Oh, and if it’s not such a great Thursday, it’ll be around in 7 days for more.

Greetings from Driebergen,

Back in The Netherlands after 3 weeks in the States. 

I had forgotten 1 thing about travel: it’s addictive. If you do it, you want to do more. You can get used to it, better at it, and if you’re anything like me, you’ll want to do more and more until you can go no more. 

See you next week from a brand-new location.

Greetings from South Lake Tahoe, California, U.S.,

In last week’s Thursday Thunder episode, we talked about how it had been more than a year that I had written daily. This week, I have physical, even visceral, proof of how powerful it can be when we get our thoughts out on a regular basis. 

My sister gave me a bunch of old photo albums, most of which my mom had put together over the years, that I needed to look through and decide whether to keep or scan digitally and throw away.

I came across one I didn’t even know my mom had made from my then-girlfriend-now-wife and my world trip complete with a journal entry towards the end of the trip that emphasized the importance of writing on a regular basis to get the thoughts out of our heads and hearts and into the world (even if not publicly). 

I’ll read a short excerpt from a journal of mine when we were in Mongolia. 

I hope it inspires you to journal daily or at least on a regular basis. 

Until next week, keep writing.

Greetings from Truckee, California, U.S.,

There was something missing over the past 10 days of our vacation. I couldn’t pinpoint it but then yesterday morning it hit me. 

?I ?don’t know if it’s the same for you but when I’m not doing this one simple thing, I’m not living my life to the fullest. 

?Yep, it’s pretty much that simple. 

?Make it a great weekend.
