With a special guest appearance on the show: FEAR.

I was all set to talk about how this is the 53rd Thursday of the year and how unexpected that was (seeing that I thought there were always only 52 weeks in a year). Rather than doing the math or consulting a calendar-ologist, I chalked it up to “Accepting an Unexpected Gift.”

Yep, 2020 was terrible in so many ways, but there must be some diamonds in the rough. What are yours? The first one that comes to mind for me is the Repossible Retreat in Bali 2022.

However… As I was prepping my recording studio (AKA “The Woods”), several fireworks exploded in the distance. It’s Dec. 31 and The Netherlands is going to explode tonight. Pepper is exponentially disproportionately scared of fireworks (and Thunder–but we won’t talk about that too much on the show called Thursday Thunder). Yet where are his fears based? What reality is there in the loud booms? 1.) Are they traumas from his past? 2.) Is it inherent in dogs to be scared of loud, rumbling explosions? (To the point of trembling and panting?) 3.) Is it the fear of the unknown? So I’ll head home, turn on some music (with some bass!) and he can hide out snuggled at our feet or under the stairs. But what about us humans? I’m going to bulldoze over #1 and #2 above and get right to the one I think we have the best chance of overcoming: #3: the fear of the unknown. What do you fear in 2021? Which fears are based on nothing? Which ones exist only in your head? Which of them could we crush underneath the soles of our feet on this fine Thursday, December 31, 2020, to never allow back into our conscious selves again? Could this be both “An Unexpected Gift” and “Fear” wrapped into one little 7-minute episode of Thursday Thunder? Might the gift be not allowing that fear past the gates we enter when we step foot into the new year? What’s your unfounded fear for 2021 we don’t let come with us into the new year? I’ll tell you mine below. Then, only if you like, only if you’d like to get it off your chest, to remove that weight from your shoulders, write yours in there. I won’t share it with anyone. But state it, write it down, make it “real” for a second and then let’s let it remain here in 2020.

They might not thank me immediately.

But someday, down the road, maybe WAY down the road, they might look back to this Christmas and say, “Gee, that was the best Christmas gift ever.” 

Merry Christmas.

The “Repossible Retreat” is planned for 2022 in Bali, Indonesia. Are you coming?

What are your “big ideas” for 2021? Or even 2022?

Going deep, going wild in this episode as I turn on the microphone directly after a powerful meditation.

This is a bonus episode of the podcast to share the freshly-minted audiobook chapter from the Repossible audiobook: Roadmap to Repossible Stop #14: SHARE.

Here’s a video from last week’s podcast about how SHARE came to me in a meditation download.

I’m doing a 28-day meditation challenge this month and on Day 2, this came downloaded into my brain: SHARE.

We’re at the 14th step in the Roadmap to Repossible and it’s all about telling your story, sharing your success, and motivating and inspiring those a few steps behind you.

We’ll be collecting Repossible Stories at share.repossible.com. Got one already for us? Let us know and we’ll showcase your success. On the path and struggling? Awesome! We want to hear about that, too.

I’m actually a little surprised that this title, this book, didn’t come to me earlier but hey, I’m just MC at this event, I’m just the guy with the keys to the conference center, I’m just the messenger.

I can’t wait to collect and share your stories of Repossible adventures.

If you’d like to hear the chapter from the (revised yesterday) Repossible audiobook, it’s here in a bonus Repossible podcast episode.

Do you already have a story from your own Road to Repossible? Or you’d like to listen to someone else’s story of success? We’re going to be collecting them at share.repossible.com.

I was asked to give a speech about Thanksgiving. But not a regular Thanksgiving, amybe there was a year that it was different.

We’re going to take a trip back in time to a faraway country in southeastern Africa.

We’re going to take a trip from the “Passive Audience” to the “Active Participant.”

It’s absolutely possible to cruise through our own lives as the “Passive Audience.” We watch and we take notes, comment and suggest.

Yet if we’re the spectator of our own life, who’s driving?

Have you ever noticed when you’re the passenger you don’t really pay attention to where you’ve been or how you got to where you are now?

It’s World War One. You’re hunkered in, dug down deep. Protected from the enemy who’s within earshot.

You have options:

1. Keep shooting
2. Play the violin and share a schnapps
3. Do both

Oh, almost forgot. It’s Christmas Eve.

I’ll put links below the video.

Happy Thursday, everyone.
