Hello, hello and enthusiasm stems from the conversations that I'm having with you, the listeners. It stems from the different ideas, the different perspectives, the things that I'm experiencing as I'm meeting people in this journey called life, and that is not something that I can put a price on. I am eternally grateful for you being here, for choosing to be here, especially on a Monday morning. And, with that being said, welcome to another solo episode. I don't have a big topic in mind per se, but I know what I want to talk about. But before we get into the topic, let this be the reminder that, yes, it is Monday, yes, it is the beginning of another week, yes, you probably have discomfort and challenges presented in your life at the moment, whether it be something minimal, as the weather is cold, it's dark now or something major like something difficult happening in your career or within your family, and that's okay. I want to say the voice, I want to be the voice in your ear early in the week, that within your family, and that's okay. I wanna say the voice, I wanna be the voice in your ear early in the week that brings your attention into a state of awareness where you are entertaining the conversations that will uplift you, not only the conversations that will diminish you. I want you to accept as a reality that, despite the difficulties in your life, to be happy is a choice, and that doesn't mean you put on a fake smile and pretend that your problems don't exist, but adding misery and entertaining thoughts of regret or thoughts of sorrow and why is this happening to me isn't going to fix the problems that are causing you disturbance. To begin with, I personally like to start with what I can control, and, first and foremost, what I control, especially on a Monday morning, is my attitude and the attitude that I approach the day with and the conversations that are entertained within my own mind. And it is my responsibility to make sure that when I step out into the world yes, it's dark, yes, it's cold, but when I step out into that real world that I am putting my best foot forward, I am presenting others a best version of myself for the slight possibility that I might have some sort of influence or impact on their life. And when you approach days like that impact on their life, and when you approach days like that, even a Monday is a good day. And with that being said, the topic today is very simple a topic filled with hurtful truth, and I know what I'm going to title this episode and simply I'm going to title it 30 days, because by the time this episode releases, it's 30 days until the big new year is here, and it was just six weeks ago.
Speaker 1:Think about how fast time is passing you by. Just six weeks ago, I did an episode titled 86 days, meaning a little less than three months left in the year. What are you going to do? And basically, today's episode is going to be a reminder of that. You have 30 days left of this year. What version of yourself is going to cross into that new year?
Speaker 1:For many, it's not even a better version. It's probably a worse version of year, where they've been defeated, not because life was more difficult for them than they were to you, but simply because the reaction to the things happening has led them to a position that is no better than where they were when 2024 started, and I want to be that reminder. I understand that this is a conversation I had with myself Just this morning. I woke up and I could not believe that it was December 1st. Leave that it was December 1st, but at the same time, I am in a place of gratitude because in these last 30 days I get to choose how I'm going to end this year. And, speaking for myself here, I've had a very good year, not because I didn't go through difficulties, not because I didn't go through challenges, not because I'm better than you because I'm far from that but simply because I know what my purpose is, I know what outcome I want of life and I know the things required of me, and I can say positively that at least 90% of the time this year I've been consistent with those goals. So now I ask you a question how do you feel about yourself? I like to put myself in a position where I want you to understand I'm not judging you, I'm not criticizing you. I want to be the person in your life that tells you the things that everybody's thinking but don't have the courage to tell you. How do you feel about the person that you are now? And as a new year approach, 30 days of brand new years here are you happy with the person that's going into that year? Are you happy with the conversations you're entertaining within yourself? Are you proud of the physical character that you've allowed to manifest this year? And if the answer is yes, congratulations, man. That is what life is about building progressive momentum into anything that brings you to life. And if the answer is no, that is what this conversation is for. That is what this reminder is for.
Speaker 1:First and foremost, let's start here. It is not too late. It is not too late to create change. I know it's easy to entertain the conversation of well, I only have 30 days left and I have 365. I wasted all of them and there's only 30 left. So why bother now? Because Now is the time, especially when the idea is hot, when you're listening to this, if the emotions within you are telling you you didn't do enough and you are somehow justifying that it's practically already over. So why bother? Hear me out. No, don't accept that. Don't just settle there. Don't just say well, I've been defeated enough, I guess I'll try again, maybe next year. Well, I've been defeated enough, I guess I'll try again, maybe next year.
Speaker 1:Understand that with this episode, if you're listening to this, I'm bringing into your awareness the consciousness I'm giving you the freedom to choose that these next 30 days could be the best 30 days of this year for you, or you can treat them as the back end of a bad year and you hope things get better. All the change of perspective, all the choice we have to make. You know, I want to emphasize so much to everybody that comes across my path that it is never too late to begin the change that you wish to experience. It doesn't matter the time. It doesn't matter the time, it doesn't matter the age.
Speaker 1:The second you have that thought that says maybe I'm not doing enough, maybe I could put a little bit more effort and intention behind my choices, maybe I can create a change in somebody's life. And then you start making a plan, and then you put that plan into action, and then you start getting results. And then you don't get the results you like. So then you experience failure, but you learn from that failure. So you remake a new plan that's better adjusted, because now you got experience from a failure that you would have never have gone through, should you not have made a plan in the first place. And then you continue that over and over and over and before you know it you are in your purpose. Before you know it you are more competent. Before you know it you are more full of life, full with purpose, for one simple reason you didn't give up. You didn't use the excuse of I don't have time. You didn't feel sorry for yourself maybe a little, because even I do sometimes, you know, but it's part of the human nature. But I'm here to tell you that, at the end of the day, the person that has to live with the consequences of your decisions, first and foremost, is yourself. And if you're not satisfied with yourself, then I think there is no better time than now to start creating change. That is what I wanted to talk about today, literally almost a repetition of what I was talking about six weeks ago, but the emphasis in how fast time passes you by. Just six weeks ago, I was like, hey, three months left, and as of this morning, we got 30 days left, and, before you know it, I'll be making another episode on on New Year's Eve, emphasizing on the ending of another year 365 days. You will never get back.
Speaker 1:Did you thrive? Did you progress? Did you challenge yourself? Did you grow? I'm not asking you the questions of was it difficult? Did it challenge you? Did you grow? I'm not asking you the questions of was it difficult? Did it challenge you? Did you fail? Because I know you did, because we all did, because that is part of the human experience. So I'm asking you if you made something good out of it. If, because of the bad that you experienced, because of the challenges that life put before you, did you choose to use them as stepping stones? Are you going into a new year as a better you?
Speaker 1:I pray to God that you are, and I mean that honestly, because if you know me personally, you know that there is nothing that fills me more with joy than to know that people are finding what I consider to be a purpose linked directly with enthusiasm and whatever it may be right. We all have personal goals. Mine is to be a speaker. Mine is to share my ideas and experiences with others and hope that it leads them to value and change in their own life. But that doesn't have to be yours. Your goal could be completely different, but the approach and the values that allow you to make good decisions could be the same. And that is what I mean by sharing my values, the perspectives, the way that I see the world through. I don't need you to become a copy and paste version of me, but I encourage you to do the difficult things so that you don't get stuck in that hamster wheel of going from one year into the next and into the next, feeling sorry for yourself, feeling bad for yourself, wondering when things are going to get better for you.
Speaker 1:But instead you are moving forward. You have found a purpose. Sometimes you don't even have the purpose. Sometimes you're wondering if what you're doing makes sense. Believe me, more than I wish to admit, I sit here so many times wondering if I've made the right quote, unquote decision, wondering if this is truly my purpose. But the beauty in it is that all of that pessimism talk that I entertain in my own mind once I sit here, once the camera is on, once I press record, then I know that I am where I'm supposed to be, because I don't have to think about this too much. You don't see a pen and paper near me. You don't see me shuffling between notes. There's no teleprompter in front of me. It's just me, my thoughts and the hope to lead you to value. And the value in today's episode is very clear Time is not your enemy, time is not your friend. Time is there as a reference point and you get to use it as a tool, and where you spend your time shows where your priorities are. So you could be like most people. You could be like the 99 full of excuses Anytime they try.
Speaker 1:You ask them a question about something progressive. Hey, did you do what you said you were going to do? Hey, was this year good to you? Well, it would have been. But hold on, give me a second. They pull out their scrolls I don't know why. It's always a scroll in my imagination right, and on that scroll is a list of excuses oh, I have kids, I don't have the time. Oh, my car, I had a flat once. Oh, it was cold that day. Oh, it was raining that day. Oh, my heat wasn't working this day. Oh, this, oh that, and before you know it, nothing got done. And that is how most people live.
Speaker 1:And then that hamster wheel fast forwards you a decade and if you ask them hey, what have you done this last decade? Well, you know, living the dream. I hate that quote so much because it's never said with certainty, it's never said with pride, it's never said you know what I'm living my dream? It's always sarcastically living the dream. Yeah, well, you chose to stay there and you allowed the years to pass you by. And now you can't even answer a simple question what have you done these last 10 years? Just mundanely going through a routine that is uninspiring to yourself. You're just losing your soul in the process to an empty vessel that's empty, lacking imagination, lacking enthusiasm. Is that where you wish to remain? Think about that. That is where most people settle. They allow a simple excuse to become an anchor and weigh them down and allow themselves to reach old age, having died years ago because they stopped pursuing the things that bring them to life.
Speaker 1:Whatever that may be, you have 30 days. If you're not proud of the things you've done this year, you have 30 days to end it on a good note. What better way, my friend, to go into a new year than to say I finished strong. Maybe the year was difficult, maybe I didn't make progress, but these last 30 days I gave it my all. What a wonderful place to be. What a wonderful plan to set, to then put into motion, to then make it into a reality In a mere 30 days.
Speaker 1:From my own experience, your average person is going to wake up on January 2nd hungover For regret. Experience. Your average person is going to wake up on January 2nd, hungover for regret, wondering besides 2025 and the ball dropping and the fireworks, et cetera, et cetera. What else is there to celebrate? I'm the same old me and I'm still not satisfied with my life. Is that how you want to go into another year?
Speaker 1:Because I got tired of that personally, I got tired of consistently making empty lies to myself about the changes I was going to make and then being put face to face with yet another year where I got to face my inadequacies and lies of all these promises of how I'm going to get better and I'm going to lose the weight, and I'm going to get the new job and I'm going to save money and I'm going to get better and I'm going to lose the weight and I'm going to get the new job and I'm going to save money and I'm going to create changes and I'm going to find purpose and I'm going to do this, blah, blah, blah, only to just be slapped in the face by the man staring back at me in the mirror because I know I didn't do those things. I got tired of that and if you're listening to this, chances are you're tired of that too. So what's going to change? You have a choice to make. You have 30 days to create that change and with those 30 days, you can go into the new year as the best version of yourself.
Speaker 1:And you may say 30 days is not enough time, but 30 days is enough time to build momentum. Believe, believe me, I experienced it over and over and over again. 30 days is the perfect amount of days to start feeling the momentum being built. 30 days is around where the enthusiasm starts feeling good. You just start sitting there and you're like, wow, it's paying off. 30 days I'm not seeing drastic change, but I can feel something pushing me slightly on my back. I can feel something edging me forward. I can feel something pulling me into an exciting future. 30 days, I promise you, if you're not satisfied with what you've done and who you've become this year, you have 30 days to go into the new year with the right momentum, with the right attitude, entertaining the right values, creating a beautiful perspective that's personal to you. 30 days, I guarantee you you can do it. Thank you for listening and until next time.
