Weekly Wisdom #353 - Stop Living In Your Head!

Hey, everybody. Dean Graziosi, welcome to the Weekly Wisdom. If you're new, it's an honor and a pleasure to have you here. If you're watching on iTunes or YouTube or Facebook, awesome. If you're watching at Dean Graziosi.com, wonderful. So today, if you're new, each week on these weekly Wisdoms, I try to deliver a recipe, a nugget of success or something that could take your life to that next level or empower you or help you overcome obstacles. And this week, I was just thinking, I just got done. I've been filming two new TV shows that are going to launch in the next couple months. You're going to see them all over tv, and I'm pretty excited. And I've been speaking on stage a lot more than I ever have, and I love it. And I wanted to share because so many people say, how are you so natural on camera? How are you so natural on stage? I want to tell you something. When I was a kid, when I was in school, I used to skip school or pretend I was sick when it was the days I had to get up in front of class. I'm truly. I might love, you know, I'm comfortable in front of the camera and I'm comfortable on stage, but I'm truly an introvert in real life in crowds. Sometimes I'm shy still. So how do you do it? And, you know, I thought about that question I get asked so much. So I wanted to share that with you today because all of us in life have to do that thing, walk into a boardroom or walk into the boss or dealing with peers or dealing with co workers or dealing with family or dealing with friends. And sometimes we want to, we want to make this presentation so great. We want to promote what we're doing. We want to. We want to get people to take action, right? And with that, I wanted to share what I think is the foundation for being successful. You see, so many of us plan and prepare, and we think about how many times did you have to talk to your husband, your wife or your kids or a friend or a parent? And you thought over in your mind, maybe kept you up all night, what you're going to say, what you're going to react, how you're going to feel. And to me, that's living in our head. You see, some of the things, some of the times I've been on stage or been on camera that I thought was my worst or I feel like I did horrible is because I was living in my head And I was thinking what to say. I don't know if you've ever been there, if you're thinking what to say. You're trying to memorize the right words, memorize the presentation, memorize what you're going to say to your kids, your husband, your spouse, your life, your business. And when you live in your head, it's too robotic. It doesn't come from the right place. And what I've been blessed and I'm just going to give you this nugget and maybe you can use this or not is study like crazy, feed that information in and then forget it and go share from your heart. You know, I know I've gone on stage in front of 10,000 people and I thought I should have more PowerPoint, I should have more reminders. And I just remember walking out and saying, I'm here to help rise these people up, to give them capabilities to change their life. It's my vision, it's my goal, it's my obligation to use my unique ability to just help these people and live from my heart. And all I can think about is changing these people's lives. And. And when I got out there, I wasn't perfect on stage, I wasn't robotic and say the right things and I didn't have the crisp, clear PowerPoint. But when I spoke from the heart, it overcame all of that. And I get to be one of the best presenters wherever I go, because I speak from the heart. Now, you might be saying, dean, that's your unique ability. And maybe that is. But I know for you in life, there are circumstances where you have to prepare, you have to do a PowerPoint, you have to do a presentation. And I want to tell you, passion and from the heart always, always wins over, over prepared and thinking from the head. Let me just ask you something right now. In the crazy presidential race, the GOP race, you know, Ben Carson is probably the smartest guy when it comes to book smart out of the whole group. And I don't watch the news a lot, but I just read a lot. And somebody said this the other day and it just, it just hit me. Someone said, man, Ben Carson is probably the smartest guy in that GOP race that's going on. Whatever you think of it, I'm not going to share my opinion. But you know what the guy said when he was done? He's like, but we all know the smartest guy never wins. And I was like, wow, we all know that the smartest guy never wins. And what does that mean? And it's kind of what I'm sharing today. I'm not saying you shouldn't be smart, I'm sure, and so many of you are probably way smarter than I am. But what I want to tell you is enthusiasm and passion and living from your heart to me 100% of the time outweighs being over prepared and robotic and trying to think what to say. I hope I'm getting the right message across today. I've had this question from so many people. How are you so easy to talk on camera, on stage? And I never have a good answer. And I really thought through it and that's the answer. I am here right now doing this video for you because each week I want to deliver you a nugget that you could just place into your life and make a tiny shift towards a better life. So I don't need a teleprompter, I don't need a script. I didn't. I come here and just want to deliver and it's coming from my heart now. I have practice. I've been on video for 15 years. I've been doing these for seven, eight years. And maybe that's not what you do, but you're still going to have these circumstances where you have to talk to your children, talk to your co workers, talk to your employees and talk to your employer. And if you get stuck in your head, that's when you get stressed, that's when you get worried, that's when you try to remember what to say and you leave and go, oh, why did I say that? Or why didn't I say more? But if you can go in and say, why am I going in? And live with passion and have it come from your heart, then that's truly you and you're giving the answers you're supposed to from the real you, not the facade that sometimes life makes us wear. I hope that helps. That's my message for today. Hey listen, in just a couple weeks I'm doing a live event with Tony Robbins. If you don't know about it, hurry up and get your tickets.
