Rise To Inspire

This episode was inspired from a recent conversation with a fellow creator. Maybe there’s a time you knew you had the gift of creativity, but your problem was having the resources, knowledge, connections, technology, and skills to amplify and unlock what was already in you. So we’ll do this episode like a RPG game. We all start out as base players.

This throwback episode, from a topic sent to me from a listener. We talk about the Dream Deferred, the cost of not going after the things you were put here on this planet to do. Many times we fall into the delusion of feeling like we always have tomorrow. There’s someone that’s waiting for the right words to hear, the music to feel, the art to see and experience. They are waiting on you to become who you need to be. If you don’t pursue your dreams in some form or fashion, there is a price to pay. Could right now be the day that you say that’s it-I will express the creative power that’s inside me to be a benefit to my family, to society, to the world; and not only save someone else’s life, you saved yours because you finally showed up.

This episode is taken from the dreaded orange maintenance required light that recently popped up on my dashboard. I use this opportunity to craft a a creative episode based around that. Who are the people, or circumstances that throw you the maintenance required signal when you feel low on energy or maybe pushed a little too hard? We need those signs, if we don’t listen to them that’s when everything could break down. Short Tuesday inspiration episode for you to listen to on your way to work, in your creative mode, or at the gym training.

This episode we talk about imposter syndrome. Everyone has experienced it in some form or fashion. The context of the episode is from a short conversation between me and a mma fighter after a workout. He didn’t feel deserving of a jiu jitsu belt promotion, a very important ceremony in jiu jitsu culture. The feeling of unworthiness can drown out any accomplishments you may have done in your life. How can we override imposter syndrome? By learning how to be content with your small wins, understanding that if you put the work and effort in, you have earned everything that you’ve been given, despite how you feel about it. We don’t get in life what we want, we get who we are.

This episode is a quick story about a conversation with a homeless guy one day, doing some volunteer work at Humanity Showers here in Oceanside. I’m really intentional about looking topics or ideas for the show. I do believe that a person off the streets has just as much wisdom as a CEO. What he said to me made so much sense and could apply across the board on anything that you’re working on achieving. Check this episode out and let me know what you think.

On this episode, we talk about your life being reflected as a video game. That each level you go through-defeating challenges along the way, you will meet some challenge equated to that level. The higher up you go, the bigger the devil (or level boss) associated with that new level of your life. Are you one that learns along each level-gathering up the weapons, shields, abilities, and resources along the way, or are you one that wants to hurry to rush through each stage trying to finish the game and never learn anything along the way?
