The more we try to stay comfortable today, the more uncomfortable we will be tomorrow. There really is no destination, there is only exploring, exploring and exploring.

Promise to:
1. Take the nail out of your head.
* These can be:
- Bad habits
- Unresolved past experiences
- “Rules” or “Assumptions”
- Fear
* Speak truth which we indeed have these nails. Acknowledge.
* Everything you want is on the other side of “Worst First”. (Often on the other side which you currently fear on.)
2. Follow your Energy (not your passion)
* Concept of Nine Lives
- imagine 9 parallel universes to partake in.
- 1st Life will be the one which you are doing at this very moment. The rest will primarily be imagined as through what gives you vehement excitation. (ie. at X Life will be what you wanted to be, hobbies, learning and trying out new skills, etc.)
- Rule #1 : They all have to start today.
- Rule #2 : Find things you are excited about.
- As you’re in Path 1, pull something in from one of your other lives.
- To put halt of fear, hence, to follow your energy: What would l do if l knew l would not fail?
- The human soul needs something to hope for.
3. Go all in. Now.
- “Until one is committed there is always hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness.”
- Our inner critics’ most dangerous words to say: Not now.
- Your fear have the most power over you, when they are in the recesses of your subconscious mind.
- You + Energy + All-in + As long as it takes = Enough &/ or Most powerful force there is
- Energy is abundant. The more you tap into it, the more you have. And the more you give it away, the more you get back.
“The Power is already inside you right now, and the way to access is through your second voice. It will show you where to direct it. Which voice will you listen to?”

I used to think overthinking was just part of who I was.
Always analyzing, always fixing, always preparing to be hurt.
But the truth is — I was avoiding stillness.
Because in stillness, there’s no performance left.
What the Silence Tried to Say by Alira Sennel wasn’t loud.
It just asked the kind of questions I’d never been brave enough to sit with.
And somehow, that silence spoke louder than anything else.

I can concur with this guy. Grew up in rural Maine with no idea what to do with my life. Went to U Miami for an undergrad business degree. No goals. Met teachers who heard me sing and said, " You should be an actor on Broadway." I somehow listened to them and proceeded in that direction. Huuuge risk. No guarantees. I followed that energy and am in my 36th year as an actor on Broadway. A few years ago, I heard the voice telling me to get out of the business and find something new to do for the last 30 years of life. I searched and searched and found a biz I thought I'd like. I went all in while still working on Bway. My biz is 3.5 years old, and on 11/1/25, I will leave acting and run my biz full time. I will have much more time off and relaxation not having to act and sing 8x a week. I did it. Hard core for decades. Now, time for something new. Good luck to all.

Ok this is some divine level coincidence. Just yesterday I wrote in my journal exactly about this voice, I wrote “ do the hard things that in your heart know are the right things to do” “if there is an urge there probably is a meaning to be found” and this is like the expanded version of exactly what I had in mind. Blessed

Social media is a blessing; otherwise, I would never have access to such wisdom.

Powerful, insightful, funny, this lecture has it all. Graham Weaver is a master storyteller effortlessly weaving personal stories with deep learnings. As an Integration coach, I've been sharing variations on these themes with my clients for many years, but I really appreciated the way Graham packaged the message with poignancy, lightness and clarity. My favorite insight is how we often resort to building a helmet around us to protect the nail in our head rather than pulling it out. It's a powerful insight that you'll have to watch the lecture to understand what I just said--it will be well worth your time!

Comparison will lead you to a life that is too small. Living your own path according to yourself and being honest with yourself is true freedom

I woke up at 4am and put on this boring looking video to help me fall back asleep.
30 min later, this dude has me so inspired I had to spring out of bed to write out my dreams and the fears holding me back.
Wishing you all the courage to challenge your fears today

"Follow your energy", What a great quote to hear instead follow your passion. This talk was great and I learned so much from this single video. I am in my third year of college and for the past two years, I have been living my college life in fear and making it smaller and smaller. It was pathetic. I wanted it out of my chest but I feared my friends would not understand. But now I will implement whatever he told me to embrace that feeling, defeat it, and go forward. I hope everyone like me watches this, learns, and starts implementing it as soon as possible.

I felt so drained and tired everday. I tried everything, preworkouts, youtube gurus, morning routines that nearly killed me. none of it hit. then i saw someone mention Testosterone Rewired by David Brooks in the comments and it literally changed my life. Following everything in that book past couple of weeks made me realize I was running on empty for YEARS. wish I knew about this years ago🔥

You will only have a few paths that will bring out your full force. Those paths will be unique to you. If you're courageous enough to go all-in with all your energy in the right path, you'll be able to do something that will look impossible for everyone else. And was only meant to be achieved by you - and that my-friend is your purpose of life.
