Timeless Wisdom

Coming in with a perspective shift. The intention behind this episode was to create awareness around our current environment in regard to media. We live in challenging times, I decided to offer some guidance around something that is not often spoken about.

As usual, im rooting for you. Thank you for listening!

I have been in moments where I no longer have the will to do a task or continue something I have been actively engaging in. This varies from workouts, objectives, creation, communicating thoughts to someone, the list goes on.. I have noticed that taking a step back from engaging often offers a chance to come back better. I do not have the science or hack around it, I just noticed the pattern in different aspects of my experience.

Have you ever experienced something like this? What did you decide to do? Disengage or force it?

I come with a challenge in this episode. Let's say you were to create something starting from scratch, that you know people would see or listen to. How would you approach this process? Think about it, our internal chatter gets activated and we start feeling the pressure to perform and create something of quality, value or result driven. We can sum this up and call it “perfect”.

If this is the first reaction we would all feel, wouldn't there be a better way to go about the process if we decide to see past the minds initial reaction? What if we enter the project with doing as much creations as possible and have fun with every project. We do each one with an intent to explore what we truly enjoy. While having fun during the process without our own judgement or pressure getting in the way. Usually that type of mindset comes when we keep what we create private or only to a select people we really trust.. What do we do when it's being heard or seen by anyone out of that comfort zone? Why can't we follow the same mindset? Its like the mind over powers our need for joy, fun and exploration because of a social pressure or judgement that what we did was not “good enough”. Is this because we didn't do it with the upmost stress, pressure or made it to perfection. What is perfection anyway? It's an illusion or even a subjective opinion.

I speak about how I have been striving for results and generating a valuable outcome rather than exploring and finding joy/fun in the creation process.

Now, cut me some slack im posting very raw and unfiltered content for you to read and listen to. While also having to be aware that I can't just say anything and there has to be mindfulness in my content. It is a hard task to find balance in that. I might very well be posting content that I will not be aligned to in a week or a month from now. Although, I came to the realization that I have been taking things too seriously as well. Workouts, content creation, learning have all been serious and result driven for an extended period now. Is it time I integrate play and exploration while still challenging myself and having a clear direction with my actions? Time will tell i guess, finding my harmony in the process.

There are important takeaways from this video that could be misconstrued. Allow me to dig deeper in what i am articulating so that you can understand the message better and take the steps to practice this yourself, if you wish to do so.

1) Belief; The mind is our most powerful tool if used properly. Believe in what you are looking to achieve or attain. Its the foundation of any manifestation. You really need to believe though. Lies dont work. Be delusional. “Make plans like an adult, believe in them like a child”

2) Precise; Being specific. “I want a million dollars” is NOT how you do it. Be very specific in what you want for yourself. The more specific you are, the clearer you are making it for yourself and your mind to make it a reality.

3) Abundance mindset; Living in abundance means having an outlook that encompasses “plenty of”. Plenty of opportunities, plenty of options and plenty of choice. Being in that mindset puts you in an abundance mindset. This allows mindful choice rather than living in its opposite which is the scarcity mindset. This is important. Gratitude practice, being optimistic and seeing the silver linings in situations help in keeping this mindset cultivated. It takes work to build it but it’s integral for this process.

4) Eliminating limited beliefs; No matter who you are, you have been programmed to believe something about yourself that is false. By cultivating new beliefs and creating your own narrative. It starts re-writing your story into one you write for yourself over the one that has been written for you by what you chose to previously believe for yourself.

5) ACTION: Just like in a movie, without the act, there is no scene or result. Probably the hardest part about manifesting is doing the actions that attract what you believe will come. Example; If I wish to change my physical health, I must proceed with the action of doing the tasks that get me to the desired outcome. Being consistent, disciplined, following a plan and sticking with it while having fun throughout the journey is how it gets done.

Extra: The stronger the “why” the stronger the chances the manifestation will manifest itself. When an individual has a strong why, they can overcome any how.

Why do you want what you want? Ask yourself this 7 times.

**Example: Why do I want to create wealth for myself? -To be free. Time and location freedom. -To be a provider for my family. -To give back to others. -To be present with my family without having to worry about finances. -To focus on what really creates purpose and joy in my life. (Health and quality relationships). -To experience who my most abundant self is. -To live life to its fullest and be able to experience what is most valuable to me and not regret what could have been.

This helps create depth and meaning in what you are looking to create for yourself.

Have you ever watched the movie Limitless? In the movie the protagonist Eddie Morra (Bradley Cooper's character) finds a pill that makes him "limitless". It completely changes who he is as a person and his life for the better. He overcomes laziness, completes a book he has been trying to finish and attracts all the other traits you would associate with someone who has no limits. (wealth, confidence, charisma, social life, etc)

There's a specific scene where he realizes what he needs to do going forward. This is what a moment of clarity looks like to a tee. It's the undeniable realization and clarity to a specific path or journey you decide to undertake.

I share my moment of clarity that led me to transform my physical self and ended up creating a domino effect that has led me to start doing content, expand my knowledge on topics I love learning about and eradicate limited beliefs I previously had of myself.

It's important to note that I am still "figuring it out" and I don'thave all the answers, nor do I even want them. I enjoy this process (as confusing at is). Life would be boring and predictable if it were any other way.

Enjoy!

This episode focuses on the moment I realized a new truth surrounding my understanding of health and fitness.

There is a lot to unpack as lived experiences, media and limited beliefs had a lot to do with how I perceived health and fitness to begin with.

This is my shared experience, you don't have to do anything with it. My intention for this video was to show others something they didn't previously see for themselves. It will elicit what it's supposed to. -Nick

Sharing a brief remembering while in nature about where we should seek to go to when we feel we need a reset. I'll keep the wisdom blunt on this one; Nature helps calm our nervous systems, minds and enjoy the presence and moment of life.

The message is to embrace our challenges and see them as a way for us to overcome and grow through them. Ill just quote what Alfred said to Bruce Wayne: “Why do we fall Sir?” “So we can learn to get back up.”

Whatever challenges you are currently facing, i want you to know im sending you strength to endure and overcome them. Once you do, you'll understand this message on a deeper level.

The three realizations from starting my own business as a 21 year old.

Do you believe environment and people can change someone for better or for worse? One of my favourite quotes is; “you're the average of the five people you surround with the most” When i started in real estate i was lucky to find colleagues that were more experienced and among the best in the field. By surrounding myself with them i saw my mindset, performance and luck change just by being around them. This was also confirmed in my social life and through the clients I dealt with. In my experience it makes a difference to be around those that have a positive outlook or virtues that embody; moral ethics, discipline, light heartedness, resilience etc.. The right people and environments that encourages growth and abundance have ever lasting change on someone.

How does your current environment affect you?
