Welcome to the Soul of Innovation podcast. I am Thomas Anglero, and I want to eliminate something from your life and from your thought process, and that is when you don't believe in yourself and you hesitate. Hesitation, I believe, is probably worse than not doing anything. Hesitation is when you want to approach somebody and you begin to approach them, you get up from your chair or you start to walk over and then you stop. Hesitation is when you're in a meeting, you raise your hand and then you put it back down. Everybody looks at you and wonders, what, what's wrong with that person? What's going on with that person? Hesitation is worse because if you don't do anything, well, you didn't do anything. Nothing's going to change your life.
But when you begin to do something and then you stop and you take it back, you sit down or you make a U-turn, it's worse because then you put all this negative doubt. You actually put into your life an experience that you began and stopped and then fear kicked in, and now you hardcoded that into your life. Hesitation, doubt is, is, it's not the worst, but damn it, is not what you, who you are. Do you understand how bad that is? If you're going to do something, you go do it. If you love that person, you go tell them. If you want to go across the room, you go across the room. You go across that country, you drive that car, you ride that motorcycle, you walk. If you're in a meeting, speak your piece. Take up your room, but don't hesitate. Hesitation, reflection is an outward exhibition of insecurity, of self-doubt. And there's no doubt. What doubt do you have in yourself? You love yourself.
Look at you.
You're perfect. Look at you. You control every moment is your next great moment. You control this very moment right now. Hold your breath.
You control that.
You control your breath. You control your right arm. You control your left arm. You control the future. Do you understand that? You control the future. You dictate the future. You decide what people are going to see, what people are going to experience, what people are going to hear, what people are going to believe. From you. You control everyone's future. You're in complete control. So what the freak are you hesitating for? What do you—
why are you doubting yourself? Why? No reason to doubt. You're perfect in every way. You made it from Your birth to this very moment. Congratulations. It's been a really long, tough journey. How many things had you overcome? How many people were bad to you along the way? How many people have broken your heart? How many people have disappointed you? How many times have you cried when no one's around? But you made it to this moment. You're amazing. So why are you hesitating now? Congratulations.
You've done it.
You made it. You're here.
No room for doubt.
No room for hesitation.
Only room for you. This is your moment. This is all about you. This is your future. This is it now. What do you want to do? Where do you want to go? How do you want to feel? Do you understand? This is it. This is it. This is as exciting as it gets. You're in total control of everything, everyone, time, space. I'm not crazy. I get it. Have that perspective. Stop listening to the idiots on the TV set and in the news. They're always trying to put stuff in your head. The social media stuff, you know, why?
Why?
Have you ever thought that if you never turn on TV, social media, the radio—
well, nobody listens to the radio anymore, it's a damn shame—
uh, and you just go the whole day with no external stimulus Who would you be? The answer is you'd be you. The answer is you would start to think about you and wonder, what can I do next?
What can I be next? And all of a sudden you realize that your life is controlled by you.
But all these things, all these external stimuli we have, we forget that we control our life and we control the next moment. And this is the trick. The trick is shut all that crap off. I know I'm not saying eliminate it out of your life. I'm not going down that route. All I'm saying is shut it off from influencing you and remember that you are in control. This is your moment. This is your time. No self-doubt, no hesitation. This is it. This is it. Got it? Listen, I want you to go forth and spread love. I want you to spread beauty and light. I want you to just light up and be who you are. No hesitation. That's it. That's your mantra.
No hesitation.
Say your name. My name is— here, I'll do mine.
My name is Thomas Anglero, and I don't hesitate. Say it. Say your name.
My name is—
and I don't hesitate. One more time. My name is, and I don't hesitate. Do you understand? You're completely committed to you and your focus. You are it. Go forth and spread beauty and light. Go forth and spread your word. Control tomorrow. Control this moment. It's all about you. You got this. You got this. One more time: my name is— and I don't hesitate— I love you. I'm behind you. I'm with you. Until next time.
