The Gyst Life

It’s easier to create momentum in areas that we know and feel comfortable with. And, that’s not where the biggest difference will be made.

There are things we could take on that would serve us and we react with conclusions like, “I can’t do that” or “I don’t want to do that” or “I tried it, and that doesn’t work.” These tend to be areas in our life that show up as breakdowns. And here’s the kicker…

It’s still not true to say, “I can’t actually do that”. This is YOUR STORY…

“Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right.” - Henry Ford

What is the background conversation you’re having with yourself? You gotta dig deep, it’s not a fun place to be most of the time. And this is where the biggest difference will be made.

Have a structure, make it simple and keep it going… It’s small wins often that add up to quantum leaps forward.

For me...there’s nothing like the growling sounds of a well tuned engine and the way everything vibrates around it. They make their presence known and they are not afraid to show it.

It’s power contained, ready to be channeled at a moments notice.

WE are the same! But what we often forget about is the working and planning and fuck-ups it took to get to that end result.

A bunch of parts on the table, structured properly and put in the right order will unleash a powerful productive machine that will drive you to the finish line. IF you channel it.

Consumerism is the cultural couch potato. It is driven by default behavior. We have become so inundated with marketing and advertising, that we have had to fight through to preserve what keeps up human.

That said, you are not a victim of it. You are simply responsible and It’s ok to admit where you are weak.

We always talk about; “THIS is what THEY are doing now”, and “THIS is how IT is”.

IT is that way and THEY are doing THAT because WE allow it. #theThey

#fightconsumerism

We all want to stand for something and a lot of us don’t know what that is yet. Here’s a suggestion: Focus more time and energy on fulfillment and uncovering your purpose in life.

We are coming to the end of the era of bullshit. Last year Canada turned over to a majority distrusting nation according to the Edelman’s Trust Barometer.

The time has come for us to get real and provide real value that will have a positive impact in the world.

David and Vern talk about the struggles of using social media and rising above the noise. A constant check-in is required for each of us to make sure we are adding value and not adding more noise.

Social media is social and media. But is the media overtaking the social? What can each of us do to ensure the media we are watching is serving us? Also ask yourself: Why are you being social? Are you creating deep meaningful relationships or are you keeping your distance and wondering why your life is lacking real connection, despite all your “activities on social”?

These tools make a difference if we’re being responsible for how we use them, what we share and how we communicate.

In this episode, David and Vern discuss their challenges and successes of navigating through the natural world of order and chaos. Chaos is layered in our life + our culture and we struggle to try and make sense of it all. So what’s missing? The idea of perfection lives in all areas of our life. Yet the benchmark of perfection is inauthentic.

We dive deep and pull it apart.

Ask yourself: What do I really want in life? Who do I really want to be? What would it take to create a 100% FUCK YA life? Am I on that path? These are tough questions, yes..! However, if we are not asking these questions, then likely we are not on track to living life as the best versions of ourselves.

This episode dives deep into the uncomfortable waters of discipline, responsibility and willpower. What it really takes to create transformation in one’s life. This episode is not about answers, rather it is a conversation and an inquiry in real time with real people who are grappling with these very questions and contexts.   

This week Graphic Recorder Aaron Russell joins us as we discuss what it takes to create a life filled with joy, aliveness, fun, and impact. How do we create the best versions of ourselves? We share some of the self-imposed roadblocks we allow to take us out. We discuss some powerful resources that help keep us on track as we move through the interesting process of life.

We work through our personal discoveries around playing small in life and coping with what isn’t working. On the flip side, we share our experiences with discipline, changing behavior and pushing through discomfort.

We talk about our fears and how they’re all made up. This episode is an inquiry into what is possible when we set aside the person we think we are and dive into the world of possibility. Usually, in life, most of us are ready to hang it up when the going gets a little tough and we step into the unknown. This week we are inviting you on a journey with us as we take on self-observation with the intention of discovering areas in life we let ourselves on the hook.

What would be possible for us if we were willing to surrender to a process with an unclear end? We if we pushed past discomfort and completely stepped into our full potential? Play with that context as you listen along and pull value from our sharing.

Let me ask you something…would you be ok if you died today? Would you feel like you lived a life worth living? That you were fulfilled with everything you did? Are you experiencing a little discomfort when you ask yourself that question?

What if you lived your life from a new context? Where 100% Fuck Ya was the place you stood from. Where you actually stepped into being the maverick of your own life, the first one out to dance to your song?

In today’s episode Vern and I speak about what we’re committed to achieving in life at the core of who we are as people and challenging that notion to see if it really is in fact true for us, or just something we “think” we should do.

Wanna kill creativity? Allow your default operating system to run the show for you.  Keep creating, causing and adding all that extra meaning to everything and whatever you do, DO NOT work on the bigger picture. Do not get clear what your vision of the future is or what you have to offer and whatever you do, make sure you allow yourself to conform to your own self impressed limitations.

That woowoo shit is for suckers.

A big shout out to

Do you know what it takes for YOU to slow it down? Are you present and listening for when it’s really needed?  It’s selfless and requires you to be full of yourself. Full of love for yourself because that’s what it really takes to be able to have the conversations you need to have with your higher self, your sherpa of life.

The week was scattered, at times a feeling of just getting to the point so I could end the grind. I struggled to slow down and get present. - David
