Weaver & Loom

Do you have a skewed view on adventure? Are you seeking the next high but are continually left disappointed? 

In my new book, Anchored the Discipline to Stop Drifting, I share how we have idolized adventure into so kind of selfie snapping vacation on the beach... when true adventure is about hard work and hardship.

Listen to this episode, and get the book, to break free from these limiting mindset that set you up for continual disappointment and failure.

Until next time…

Be a change maker, weave your destiny, own the future.

Six years ago, 2013, my whole life changed. My western culture was confronted and I set out on a process, a journey, to better understand my culture, the culture of the Middle East--and how to life a focused life that wasn't merely busy, but a life that allowed me to achieve the results that I wanted to see.

I began writing. And soon a collection of random thoughts developed into a theme. Begging the question, "How can I stop from drifting through life? How can I reach my goals without spinning my tires?"

I began writing as a manifesto to myself and now it has developed into an short actionable book that gives a frame work to view success and the world through.

Over the next 10 episodes I will be sharing stories and insights from the book, "Anchored, the Discipline to Stop Drifting" leading up to the release date of Oct 3rd 2019.

Until next time…

Those who succeed are those who never turn back. 

Here is a funny story of a great explorer who DID turn back . . . okay the story isn't FACTUAL . . . but it is TRUE. In fact it is a story most people live out every day of their life. 

And be sure to catch the two take aways at the end of the episode for this week on making the impossible possible.

Rosa Parks, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, Fawziah al-Bakr, Annie Kenney and tens of thousands of other stood up (or sat down) for their rights.

In this episode we don't focus so much on the courage and sacrifice that so many have made throughout history to fight for and defend civil rights...

But we recount Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s words after his house was bombed.

So many people are standing up today demanding justice and entitlements for themselves. So many are complaining about how they didn't get a fair shake...

But our response cannot be to demand our own personal justice, or retribution--instead we must lay down our right and take up the plight of others, not in protest, but in action.

What would happen if instead of focusing how we got dealt a bad hand in life, we focused on serving others around us and giving someone else what we never received?

For hundreds of years mankind tried to break a four minute mile.

People tried everything to break the barrier... even had bulls chasing them. 

Scientists said it would never be done. They said the human body couldn't survive due to lack of oxygen. 

Sports experts said the conditions would have to be absolutely perfect. 

Turns out that none of that was true...

For thousands of years slavery was an accepted part of human life. Until one day, William Wilberforce stood up and laid down his life to see the African Slave Trade abolished. 

The problem is, even though William Wilberforce did the impossible . . . there is still over 40 million people in slavery today--one in four are children. 

Are you willing to stand and make a difference with your life?

Everyone said human flight was impossible. Mankind had tried for thousands of years... then one the impossible became possible in the most unlikely of ways.

The Wright brothers had everything going against them, and yet they didn't make excuses, instead they defied the impossible and changed history forever.

When you are thrown back into your old environment if you aren't careful, it doesn't take long until you slip back into old habit.

Yesterday (episode 77) we talked about some of why we can so easily slip back into old patterns and mindsets. 

Today we talk about how to inoculate yourself so that you will sustain your transformational experience and continue to take leaps forward in your transformational process.

You must find the others. 

(Speaking of others--you can find Seth Godin here  and his book "What do to when it's your turn, (and it's always your turn)" here.)

What do you do when you have had a life changing experience . . . but all your friends back home are still the same?

Maybe you went to University, maybe you took a trip, or moved to another city or country to work or study for a season . . . and you drastically changed. You no longer recognize yourself, you are a different person.

But you go home, or call home, and everyone is carrying on with life just as before and you no longer know where you fit.

What do you do?

Listen to find out.

Thank you Reema Suliman  for today's question.
