The #Grass is always #greener on the other side
John Barrett and myself talk the age old story of how we all meaning each one of us thinks that the grass is greener some where else or with someone else!
It's just too easy to think this way...as we don't really recognize or understand the amount of work, time, the situation, or circumstance that arose for 'THEIR' greener grass!
As well there is a massive amount of #assumption on our behalf when we perceive what we think is someone else's #reality but truly may not be.
I speak about how being on vacation is not real life but a lot of time we think the place we are having a vacation at is the answer "if we only lived here all would be this perfect" but that is not real life — no #work — no #stress — no #worries - just the dream life!
We finish up with #creating a life and #lifestyle you don't need a #vacation from!

Against Our Better Judgement~
Ohh boy ohh boy! You know those time's when you should probably just shut the phuck up...but you don't! Well, that's what we chat about today.
John Barrett tells his tale's of just even today how he went against his better #judgement and still went ahead with his #decision, some minor and some major but non the less we try to get to the bottom of the why?
Why even though we have paused and are very aware of what we are about to do and or say...we still do it anyway.
Myself I went through the same type of issue this week when I was out numbered in a gathering and we started talking health...even though I knew everyone's #education and background on the #HEALTH topic we were discussing...I just could not keep my mouth shut and had to put my 2 cent's in!
Where did that get me by the way?!! No Where ~
I ask John on the real tip and in all #honesty why did you do what you did...and from there we try to peal back the onion that is our own #self #awareness and why we went through with that decision.
Was it our #intent or was it our #ego...maybe bravado?Take a listen and let us know if you have been in similar situations!

#Olympics considering #Esports for the games?!
If you have not heard of #Twitch or any of the other online platforms which are blowing up the internet as far as views and followers..well then maybe you are a little un informed currently.
So we will bring a few thing into light and perspective.
If you have ever studied the markets or trends video games are massive and it's a massive industry, new game release sell tons of units!
You match that with the #Youtuber craze of people watching people play video games...that's where Twitch came about I feel....and know you have a massive community that play video games, watch, comment, tip, and so on.
So is it any different from way back when...#Elvis Presley came out swinging his hips...it was a new thing a start to #Rockandroll. And the generation before him was not use to it...and called it the #Devil"s #Music
So basically we chat about either we change with the times or we get left behind and complain about how it use to be back in the #good #old #day's!!

Burning Nike Air - #ColinKaepernick
John Barrett who is from the other side of the world is fascinated by some of the news stories he hears about over here in #North#America
Today's being that #Nike has just signed C.K to a deal for it 30 year #anniversary. With all that has been going on since this guy took his first knee...its beyond amazing what has since happened.
My take was simple, there is no such thing as bad #publicity for either sides involved as they are both trending everywhere currently..
John hit the nail on the head as with all current events in the state of the world right now, it's here today gone tomorrow...and in a few days or weeks time this will not be talked about.
There are two side to the story those in favour and those against as again with everything in the world today...
But IYP is trying to find that middle ground where 2 side can collide in a positive state to discuss and and open a dialogue!

When Nothing Is Coming Up
Well, Today, John Barrett played a little game on me... as when we were in the pre show we talked about the ideas I had after a conversation I had with a young Youtuber...and what he told me to grow our channel.
Then we hit GO LIVE and he flipped it on me! Which was awesome...how else do you keep your skills on point and your mind sharp?
So we talked about creativity, how to hone it and as well what do we do once we get out of the moment and maybe loose it...to get it back.
We spoke a lot about getting out of our own way...meaning it does not need to always, always be so complicated. It's that KISS mentality keep it stupid simple, and roll with it get it out there and then make changes as you see fit.
I referred to myself and how every now and again it is very beneficial to ground yourself by either getting outside, getting in some type of training or just letting your mind go blank for a while before getting back at it.
What are some of the things you do...when nothing comes up?

Breaking #Mental #Barriers
Well, another incredible topic we discuss today all about these mental barriers each and every one of us has and is trying to overcome!
Two different directions today as I speak about how the last month or so much has changed (it started back in May but has peaked in August) that I truly cannot #intellectually put it into words as it's something that maybe just can not always be described.Having said that what I do understand and am trying to implement is a #faith or a #trust in the #universe that what is happening is for the greater good and my souls #evolution.
John Barrett tied into my rant perfectly with the point and case at hand of the 4 minute mile (and there are many other examples of this) when one person does what no one thinks is possible because it has never been done.Yet once that mental barrier has been broken it is all of a sudden possible and others are then able to do it as well.
There are so many examples-of this in our #society but it is a fact that if the human mind is told or #believes it can not - then that will be the case the barrier will not be broken until it is re programmed - and that is usually by someone doing the #impossible!
Thank you as always team for your support and time!

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!!
