Weekly Wisdom - What Is That One Thing?

Hey, everybody sitting here behind my house, there's this awesome golf course that I get to come on. And in the morning, there's nobody here. And I'm killing a little time till we get a little audience here, because I want to ask you a really big question. What is it in your life that you're avoiding or pretending it doesn't exist because it could be painful and you're not facing it? We all have it, you know, is it. Is it a relationship that you've been planning your escape from for years, but every day you just get up and go through the process? Is it a job that you know you have to leave and say, someday I'm gonna. And you're just planning your escape from this terrible job that's eating you alive, that's. That's costing you years on your life. You feel like you're wasting your soul, your body. Good morning, everybody. Glad to have you here. I guess I know some of you jump on here as we're going. So just talking about today. What is it that you're avoiding? Good morning. Julie Wakefield. How you doing, Larry? Good to see you, Jane. We got more and more people coming on. This is my weekly wisdom 400, number 23. I usually do them on Monday. I was so slammed Monday and Tuesday, I just. I totally spaced it. Sorry, guys, but we're here now. Glad to have you. Julie. Hey, good morning, Julie. Thanks for saying hi. Aisling. Everybody else coming on? Okay. We're talking today about what is it that you're avoiding? Do you have an employee that just eats your soul? Negative. Robs you, but you figure, ah, you know, they kind of know their job. It'd be so much work to replace them. I'll just keep him or her because it's easier. And I'm planning to fire them in the future. Or are you working in a job that someone doesn't give you the respect you deserve? You don't get to use your unique abilities, your core competencies to go to another level, to feel free, to feel. You're using all of you to feel passionate, but you're putting it off till tomorrow. Or somebody treating you bad in a relationship or not respecting you, not listening to you anymore or pretends like you're not even there and you're planning to make a difference. You're planning to make your escape, but, you know, maybe tomorrow. Listen, I say this a lot, but 150,000 people died today, unfortunately. I say prayers for them. And I'm sorry, but another 150,000 are going to Die tomorrow. Every day we are all dying. And I'm not being morbid, I'm just being real. Because we only have this one life here to live. And we all know that a month, a week, a year. Let me ask you, you can tell me right now, everybody coming on, Jeremy, everybody jumping on how fast has the last five years gone by for you? I saw pictures yesterday. My daughter's 10. I saw pictures yesterday when she was 4 and I almost had tears in my eyes. It seemed like 18 minutes ago. So how long are you going to settle for that thing that's inside of you that you know should be addressing now? I'm not saying everybody watching right now has this horrific life with this terr thing, this terrible relationship, this terrible job, these terrible people around you, this terrible problem. But we all have something, no matter what level it is that we aren't facing. And when I talk about this topic a lot because I got to remind myself a lot because sometimes we just kick it in automation. We just get in a hypnotic rhythm of life and we say another day it'll get better. The outside world will change it. No, the outside world will absolutely not change it. The outside world will conform to you. You want to stress about it and not take action. It will allow you to take to stress about it and not take action. You don't want to be in that job that's killing you or not start your business yet or stuck in that relationship or a friend that brings you down. It is not going to change in the outside world. So here's what I'm challenge you for today. I'm challenging you just for today. I got that from Dale Carnegie in the book how to stop worrying and start living. Total recommendation. Totally should read it. Thank you so much for all the hearts and the likes.

And so and I always appreciate all the comments, I read every single one of them. But listen, your next level of life literally lies on the other side of that obstacle of that pain of that thing you're avoiding. So I want to go back to Dale Carnegie. What if you just for today did something about it? And here's the thing where everybody gets it wrong. Please listen to what I'm going to say right now. This might be one of the most important things I've ever shared in 423 weekly wisdoms is it doesn't have to all happen at once. I don't know if you're in a bad relationship and you think, I either have to stay in the relationship or I have to get a divorce and divorce is too painful. And listen, I am not an advocate of divorce. I'm not saying that in any way. What I'm saying is you think if just for today, I have to do something. Do you have to file for divorce? No. Just take one step in the right direction. File for a call a therapist, and today, make an appointment for couples counseling and see if you guys could work it out. Today, ask your wife or your husband on a date that you haven't done in ages. Today, treat the relationship as if it was the first month you met each other. Today, write a little card on the back of a napkin and slide it into her purse or slide it into his briefcase. It just says, hey, I do love you and let's take our relationship to the next level. Just today, start calling if you're in my real estate space. If you're making money with real estate today, make a call, make an offer, put out a bandit sign, put an ad on Craigslist. Today, walk into the gym and just check it out. Today, do something to overcome that obstacle that's in your face. You know when I teach people how to invest in real estate and I touch more people's lives and help make people more money in real estate than any person in the history of the world. I write success books. My new book, Millionaire Success Habits, is an on fire hit. I'm just a study of successful people. And I'm also a study what screwed myself up in a lot of ways. And I get to share that with you. But the people I know that are successful in real estate, they don't look at like, oh, I'm going in the real estate business. That's big. That's huge. That's monstrous. They don't even say, I'm going in the wholesale business. That's too big. You know what they do today? I'm going to put some ads on Facebook and see if I get any replies. That's it. That's one little bite. That's a little chunk. You can do that. So apply that same methodology as, I can't fix this whole problem today. It's too big. It's too monstrous. It's been building for too many years. I. But you could do something today. You could take one step today again, if you like this, guys, please share it. Show me the likes and see if I'm on the right Track today because this is in my heart. Because I have things in my life I gotta face. And when I remind myself, when I have these conversations, then you know, it's action time. So just for today, what is that one thing you know you need to overcome? Jim Crowley. Awesome, man. You're always here. Love you, brother. Thanks for all the great comments. You're a sweetheart. What is that one thing that you know you should have fixed years ago or you're planning your escape or needed to make a change? I'm not telling you to just flip the switch and do it all today, but do something today. Take an action today. Grab a pen and paper, write this second and write it down and say, today. I will no longer accept this. I will no longer compromise who I am as a person. Life is short, life is ending. Doesn't matter if you're 18 or 80, life ends eventually. Whatever you're doing right this minute, somebody's probably died doing it sounds morbid. Somebody's sitting on a golf course has probably got hit in the back of the head with a golf ball and died. I'm not trying to be funny, I'm being real. If you're at the gym right now, if you're sitting home, if you're driving, if you're sitting at your computer, somebody's died doing what you're doing. And most people don't know it. They just take a breath and the last breath is gone. And that's it. So if you look at life that way, not being morbid, but being real, we have today and we have a chance to do something about that thing you've been avoiding. So just for today, take a step in the direction to overcome that obstacle, that fear, that pain, that thing you've been avoiding and realize your next level of life lives on the other side of that.
