Ignite Your Purpose - Episode 119
Being of Service to Others
Our talk today is about the bigger picture — that next level #purposeand service to others.
When John Barrett asked me today about being of service to others I immediately remembered a movie we had watched back in my #sotozen class a few years ago. About how in Japan the older generations those whom were retired and later on in life where active in teaching and playing with the youth the pre school age children.
Such a different way of thinking and doing from our side of the world where our elders go into an old age home. So how does this relate to being of service.
Because we wake up with a purpose...a reason...an energy and mindset that there is something more important than just ourselves. Yes, at the base level we will all dropping or at least put #ego to the side.
Each one of us is capable of this with family, at work, and social gatherings. It is mandatory to take care of ourselves first, but it is also in our best interest to be of service to those around us it is like the circle of life!
We have a built a #community that has supported us and grown with us, so yes there are times we are tired, or not in the mood, but we have a responsibility not only to ourselves but to our community to show up and be better...to be of services!
This is a fact every single time we are not feeling it 110% (which is rare by the way) the minute we go live to air...it feels amazing so the proof is in the pudding - it feels so good to be of service!

Ignite Your Purpose - Episode 118
Putting it into Motion-Meet the #universe half way~
John Barrett practices what he #preaches and 10X's it. BOOM!!We spoke yesterday about setting the bar too low. This is something that John and I have been speaking about on and off for about a month...lets say all of August... it just keeps creeping into our talks.
So John decided to email a few of the people close to him on the island the lives on...just to chat and just to expand his #knowledgebase...no set agenda, but to just see where it took him. He got replies and set the meetings up.
When I woke up this morning I was blasted with messages to call him ASAP and there was major news and items we needed to discuss.
By John taking this action (no word of a lie) and in this one specific meeting for real changed the forward path of Ignite Your Purpose, because John meet with a BIG DOG that has been 10 Xing it for decades...and the idea's that came out of his head for us to implement along with the fact other may jump on board is a whole other level I do not think John and I took as an option just a few days ago...truly incredible!
Having said that...and this is why Ignite Your Purpose is different; we keep it real, we are not on a soap box preaching ...we are in the #streets or #trenches #slugging it out just like everyone else. So while our excitement was at 210%....There were certain points in the conversation that we both sat speechless (and we asked each other why) we were both IN FEAR of the unknown... saying things like well this seems like a lot of work, how long will it take, how much money will it take, do we have the skill set, can we do this.
How amazing it was to both of us that when a massive opportunity like this lands in your lap, you can almost kill it off before it even begins by #conjuring up thoughts that do not even exist and that are not real and that we do not know the answer to as we have never done it!
That #negative #bias we all have...yet we can all over come it!

Why Do I Aim So Low IYP #117
Something that has been so relevant in our journey thus far, and something we become more aware of each day as we plot our course into the future, with daily weekly monthly and yearly plans.
How high are we setting the bar?
It has come to the forefront of our awareness that most of the time we are aiming for the bare minimum and that 9 times out of 10 is being said out of an automatic response — auto pilot — which means — we are not thinking of these responses they are just coming out...from where...well years and years of programming.
If it were not for the fact we record a pre and post show sometimes we would not even see and hear the FACT that we actually said what we did. Aiming sometimes low at best...subconsciously — it truly is amazing to re watch it.
Thankfully we do have the awareness and mindset to then smarten the F up and 10X our subconscious statement Grant Cardone style!But this truly does highlight the fact that it is a taught behaviour to aim low. One of the studies we talk about on the show today was the Yes/No study of children up to around 7 or so...and how many more 10 of thousands of times we/they hear NO more than Yes ....
It is in our DNA to be average because it takes hard work to be super abnormal and chase Un realistic dreams!!

Health Longevity Why what ever it takes?! Ignite Your Purpose #IYPSo many have been asking us about health and a lot have been questioning this trifecta we call longevity and the pillars involved in it so we wanted to put it out there on record that just because you are at a certain age or at a certain stage in health, it does not mean you or we have to stay there. It is possible to be better everyday

Ignite Your Purpose - Episode #116
What is motivation?
In this chat we go from on extreme to the other, the one point we both agree on is that #motivation as with so many other topics we talk about has to be an inside job.There are #wants, #desire, #dreams, #goals, #aspirations and then there is motivation...what is it that you want? Really ask yourself that!
Because motivation is an up and down #rollercoaster some days you may peak and some days you may be in the valley...so it then becomes the question of what drives your motivation?
John Barrett spoke on many items that he puts up on his #manifest board that keeps him motivated towards his goal or goals...one of the many ways he drives himself to the end line.
I recall how my motivations have and will continue to change as everyday that passes I learn and evolve into something different. The past I was motivated by money to attain studio time to record music, then after that I was motivated to hit the next level in health to keep my skills, mindset and physical health on point for the long haul, currently I am motivated to serve others with my stories of negative to positive.
So what is motivation to you?

Ignite Your Purpose #115
How many Chances?
So something that has be coming up for me lately as a lesson is this; that person it could be #friend #family member #husband #wife #boss#coworker you name it, but that one person in our life that we keep giving chances to. For what ever reason that may be.
For me I find that I personally #struggle with giving the extra chances because I want to make sure I am being and doing good all the time for those around me.
John Barrett made some great points, one being that he, as well as myself we almost always go to one extreme or the other. Meaning we at one point in our journey either cut them out of our life 100%. Then at some point later on during our transition period went the other way and all we tried to do was help, help, help and it was a one way street for us.
It makes it easier now for us that we understand somewhat that it's not at all about us. It's not our lesson to learn, the #universe is trying to teach them something and we could actually be interfering with their lesson and learning for their self improvement and #evolution.
So if someone ask's well thats one thing, but if they keep making a mistake or whatever it is to make us continue to give chances, well maybe it really is ok to step back with compassion and let them continue to do them!

Episode 114 - Ignite Your Purpose
Today we chat Success...and does #criticism mean you are #successful?
John Barrett who is currently reading a book by Mr pretty darn cool himself Grant Cardone saw a chapter entitled "is criticism a sign of success?" John was knocked over the head with a 2X4 when we saw that title and so it became today's topic!
We both have been S%$T on when it comes to the changes we have made in our live's. The word criticism is only the base of it but it for sure got our minds to thinking - if that meant we were doing the right thing.
When other's saw the changes in us (and 90% of the time for the better — we are human and there are fails as well) and they stayed "stagnant" or in the same spot and maybe not climbing upwards to getting/being better it is true there was criticism and there was a lot of poop flung our way.
We are talking the most minor things at the start by the way, such as food choice changes, cleansing, starting to work out...these being so minor. Yet once the changes are evident it is true the words start to fly.
Feeling that these words come from a place of the lower mind and the fact that we just may not be educated enough in those certain area's and instead of trying these things out for ourselves due to the amount of work and learning curves and time it takes...we would rather sling words because it is easier.
Take a listen and let us know what you think!

Episode 113 - Ignite Your Purpose
To dangle on the edge of the cliff of life... is to be #Alive
John Barrett and I in this episode keep it #real as phuck. We talk about the fears that strangle us on a daily, yet we know we damn well know that to step into that fear, to learn from it, to overcome it...is the start of our growth and or #evolution on this process of being #human
It is far from easy but it reminds us of the saying that the #ancient#Greeks, #Romans and all those from a time long long ago use to say: "Is it not better to die standing then to live a life on your knees?"
It will dumb us down, stunt our growth and slowly kill us if we do not step into the unknown, that is where life is truly lived at. To remember what it truly feels like to be alive. To live 30, 40 , 50, 60 years repeating the exact same routine is to build your own safe room and live in it...in fear of what could be or may happen.
For the last 10 years I have known and tried to learn this lesson...it's only been the last 2-3 months that I have untied the rope and sailed my the boat out into the ocean, finally leaving the harbour of safety!
We thank you and we appreciate you for joining us on our journey.

Episode 112-Ignite Your Purpose
Are you "#enlightened" enough to teach?
With all the people trying to sell #courses #selfhelp books, how to....
Insert get rich, get healthy, get women/men, get blah blah blah. You get the point right!
In the current state of affairs in the social media engagement we all are influenced by if we so wish, there is always — always some form of what we call #fronting #faking #littlewhitelie aka just not the entire truth. We are not claiming these are lies or misguided but they may not be in fact the whole picture.
So we talk about the different levels of knowledge, the amount of #learning, and then taking into effect the fact that we also have to have implemented these learnings and failed forward from each lesson.
For us that is what makes a great #knowledge provider...as well as the #intent, is it to #empower and make us and others better...or is it to cash in some money. Also making money is not a bad thing at all, but what is the intent behind the mission?

Episode 111-Ignite Your Purpose
We talk #adaptability
There are a lot of ways to go on in this subject — for myself I think of it as we either adapt or we #parish.
John Barrett had a great insight where we claimed that we as human's are in the #business of adapting. Think about a health issue's, loss of income or a job, natural disasters, we are always overcoming and adapting to the situations we all face being part of this planet and the human race.
The mindset, the knowledge base, the technology changes... if we do not adapt as individuals we are doing ourselves a dis services of truly becoming who we are meant to be.
