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.

#IYP Ignite Your Purpose Daily Chat
The reason we started the Ignite Your Purpose Show was to educate...for sure there is a ton...I mean a ton of info out there on any and all topics under the sun! Yet that must also mean there is a ton of Confusion -
In a chat I had today I was told by a friend that they have been eating clean for over a year....
If nothing else in my mentorship in soto zen and the health studies that I do have taught me is this "The Body Never lies" we sure do, but the body does not!
one step at a time.......

Episode 110 - Ignite Your Purpose
We are all the same but different!
John Barrett and myself talk about #fomo and how at our base level we are truly all the same!
John talks about no matter the race, colour, creed, nationality we all bleed the same and want the same basic things.
What do we mean by that?...Well, an experience I had while training last night was the lesson that brought this all about! By being humble, vulnerable and open at the end of this sparring session.
Back story is I trained with this gentlemen about 2 years ago while we went to test of skill level. We both got our first level, but since then have not trained together but have somewhat kept an eye on each other.
We are both going to test another level and for me I wanted to train with this guy again to test my skill set out and see if he was: better than me, does he know more, did he learn different things....And on and on and on in my mind. This maybe my hard wiring as a male but also in general as a human, so we all must have this.
Like I said at the end when I opened up and said "man I wanted to train with you because I was UNSURE about my skills compared to YOU" (are you listening to these words) COMPARED TO YOU ... he then opened up as well and said "he wanted to train with me for the exact same reasons!!"

Episode 109-Ignite Your Purpose
For the #Love or the #Finance?
John Barrett talks about some personal items he remembers about this subject as do I. How this came about is that talking with a few accountants a few key sentences were said to me that really stuck out.
The type of wording that made me stop and say "HUMMMM" that is a very interesting way to look at a relationship.
Yet this type of thing has been happening since the beginning of time I am sure.
The sentences are; "it makes financial sense to do this with"... and "the tax breaks would be more beneficial to you if"....
John and I both understand the #reality of the sayings when it comes to a relationship and we speak about that in the show...yes it does make sense, for sure.
However I just find it interesting that is it woven into the fabric of our #society as something that may trump true love and soul mate type vibes...to re-enforce our feelings of being #secure and not wanting be in #fear of not having enough!

Episode 108-Shut up and do it Already!
After many #trials and #tribulations in our rather new-ish endeavour John Barrett and I speak about the #fact that #action and actions that are repeated daily are what have been taking us from just hanging around the average mark...to steadily moving up the mountain!
Our daily routine went from a loose plan to start (which at the bare minimum we did) but we plan was so loose and had zero structure that the system we were going through was destine to fail...and fail it did.
We had no road map, no plan of action on a daily, weekly, monthly, basis no process to move forward, or goals to aim towards. A simple "well let's record our show kinda when we can get it-was the bare minimum!
The difference being that now we have a lot of plans in play and that are put to action...not every single one — as we are human and there is only 2 of us...but a great majority of them are ...75% or more for sure.
With this we continue to hit and achieve actions we have laid and planned out thus allowing ourselves to keep moving the needle forward for the next set of actions...very cool how this works!
