Symphony Podcast

Journaling has a myriad of benefits. But sitting down to write or carrying a notebook around aren't always feasible. Today, it's just me, Kyle, sharing a practice that I've benefitted from.

We'll be back next week.

How often do we unconsciously apologize? What is your initial reaction when someone bumps into you at the grocery store on accident? If you’re like many of us, “oh, sorry!” Is the first thing that comes out of your mouth. 

In this weeks episode, Matthew and Kyle examine how consistent unconscious apologizing can negatively impact your trajectory.

Wilmer Arias was shot through the neck in a rural and impoverished area of northern Guatemala when he was 9 years old. He wandered away from his grandparents house, where he lived with his brother and sister, to chase after a deer. A hunter’s bullet intended for the deer, struck Wilmer instead. 

He spent two and a half months in a coma in a hospital in Guatemala city, and woke up in a world unfamiliar to the one he had known; now paralyzed from the waist down. 

Abandoned by his mother and father at a young age, Wilmer had only the support of his grandparents, who were getting old themselves and quickly realized they did not have the ability to support Wilmers needs given his new physical condition. With no money to keep up with hospital bills, they found an orphanage called Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos; a catholic organization that had the ability to help. 10 hours away from their life in Peten, along with his brother and sister, this orphanage became Wilmer's new home. 

Confused, angry, and completely dependent on others, Wilmer struggled through his adolescent years. He became accustomed to a life of difficulty; constant health complications, trips to the hospital, and feeling alienated from his peers because of his condition. He saw no opportunity to improve his life, and Wilmer became ashamed of who he was. 

When he was 18 he began to realize the power of his own mind. He credits the book 'Think and Grow Rich,’ which was given to him as a gift, for his initial breakthrough. He learned that accepting himself as he was, and giving up were two completely different things, and his life began to change. 

He became obsessed with books, and applied himself to learning, finding strength for his own life through the wisdom of others. Combining self discipline with an eagerness to learn, Wilmer set goals, developed principles, and began taking giant strides in his life. He stopped looking for external validation and acceptance from others and focused more on his internal environment. 

By 29, he was working in public relations and partnerships for the orphanage, studying business in University, and simultaneously earning a masters in digital marketing. All the while putting together a business plan for a wellness center that is his dream to eventually open up with his brother. He began speaking all over the world, inspiring people with his story everywhere he went. Wilmer’s life had taken a complete 180, he had made peace with his own life, and actualized the power of his own mind. He had found an upward trajectory for his life that inspired everyone he came in contact with. During this time, a lingering complication from his childhood accident became a life threatening issue, and Wilmer was told by doctors he had less than 2 years to live. 

The operation Wilmer needed had never been attempted in medical history, and Wilmer was turned away by as many hospitals as they contacted. Refusing to give up the fight, Wilmer began to manifest a future for himself despite his most recent complication. He remained positive and focused on his attitude, thoughts, and the energy he was putting out into the world, as he searched for an answer to his life’s most recent curveball. 

We hope this episode brings a new perspective or at least makes you think about the power of the mind.

Aristotle once said something along the lines of, "If you want to know where a society is going, show me its storytellers." Today, Kyle and Matthew talk about the power of storytelling both in society and in our individual lives. 

What stories do you tell yourself that hold you back?

How hard should you work? Matthew and Kyle discuss how hard work can be a doubled edged sword. Too much can leave you burned out or feeling like you're on the hamster wheel, while not enough ______ (hard work, discipline, commitment, focus) will most definitely lead to a bad outcome.

But is it as simple as how hard you work? If it is, then explain how the entrepreneur building a business around his/her passions working 70 hour weeks experiences more joy and satisfaction than someone who works 25 hours doing something they don't enjoy.

By no means is this episode intended to prescribe a specific work ethic. Everyone has different goals. But if you do want to excel, one thing is certain: your work ethic needs match your ambition.

If you're new to us, welcome! Symphony is a podcast and growing community platform that exists to harmonize all areas of life. Just like a symphony requires many different instruments to create one beautiful harmony, we take the same approach to life.
