I've Figured Out Your Life Purpose - Ep. 157

When we're emotionally, spiritually, and psychologically naked, we're forced to be honest and real with ourselves. When this happens, we can't hide behind something we may normally use to cover them up.  Four Ways to Cover Up Oftentimes we employ various strategies or justifications for keeping ourselves "covered-up" so we don't have to deal with the truth of our nakedness.  I've diluted these down to 4 general areas:  Making excuses for our imperfections Blaming others for our shortcomings Feeling Threatened by other's victories Overstating our own victories  Each one of these is focused on the external which is outside of control.  That makes it really easy to ignore the issue and continue on as we have previously. But, this leaves us short of our best.  We can only improve ourselves when we're honest about what needs to be improved and we can only be honest when we strip ourselves of everything we're using to cover up.  We must get naked to know what's really going on.  Finding Our Real Support Team When we're naked and honest about ourselves we find out who our real partners are in life. We discover who's going to be there to help us move forward.  This doesn't mean we rely on others to take us there, but instead, use their support to help us move there on our own.  Don't Fall Into Complacency One big stumbling point we can fall into when we're honest about ourselves is complacency. By that I mean, we are honest about our flaws, but we're not challenged to deal with them.  We must find that balance between being honest and being complacent. Getting naked and honest about ourselves isn't about championing our flaws either.  Be careful you're not saying "well, that's who I am. Love it or leave it." That will not lead to improvement either. I hope this episode helps you get honest and naked with yourself so you can humble yourself enough to seek the assistance you need to overcome the areas that need help.  There is no real gain is projecting a false success. Listen to this episode and give me your feedback on how you've not been honest in the past and what you're going to do to change the situation.

Let's Get Naked So We Can Get Better - Ep. 159

I love auto racing. I used to dream of doing some cross-country rally racing back when I was in my early 20’s.  I loved the complexity of it.  With a rally race, it’s not like other types of auto racing where you’re on a track, you drive fast, turn left, drive fast, turn left, drive fast… and continue like this until you see someone waving that checkered flag. If you’ve ever seen Cannonball Run, a movie from back in the 80’s, you know what a rally race is like.  It’s a real race that happens every year.  In Europe there are Rally races through towns and cities all the time. In a rally race, you drive for days over long distances.  You have to know where you’re ultimately going and your checkpoints along the way.  I thought this was a great analogy for this episode…   Sometimes Lost is Good Sometimes feeling lost is great. We must have down time - Sometimes our spirit our soul will force it upon us by causing us to feel “lost” or to remove our drive for a specific destination.  Consider this a rest area in life.  Don’t set up camp here, but but realize, you need a break from time to time.  So, rest.  Sometimes we even need to just go out for a drive without a particular destination.  Just go out, start driving and enjoying what’s right in front of us without being worried about where were going, if we’re on the right path to get there, whether we have enough gas, and if we’re making good time or not.   We need the mind clearing drives sometimes. Why We Sometimes Feel Lost Usually, at least for me, we feel “lost” because we’ve become distracted.   If you’ve ever been driving somewhere with someone and become so engaged in conversation, you completely miss your exit, you know what this is like. When this happens, you have to first become aware of the fact that you missed your exit.  Awareness of where you are at this moment.  Then you have to figure out how to get back on track.  Sometimes you get so far off track, you actually have to pull over and stop while you get your barrings right, pull out a map and rechart your course. In life, this could mean pulling over for a while… a vacation or just a day when you can get away from all the “traffic” in life… no distractions. You may even just set up an afternoon to go to beach and collect your thoughts, evaluate your destination and reassess the path you’ve chosen to take.  The last thing you should do is to try to keep driving while you pull out the map and figure out where you are and how you need to get back to where you were going.  Doing this could cause a lot of issues for you and completely derail your journey. Take the time to STOP… clear your mind.. and get back on track.  STOP… that’s important.  Using a Navigator Continuing with the “driving” analogy, you may want to consider bringing a navigator with you.  Someone who will keep track of where you’re going at all times and alert you BEFORE you get off track. A couple of ways you can do this is through a coach, accountability partner or even a mastermind group.  This is the purpose of these people in our lives.  But, you have to make sure they know where you want to go and they know your plan on how to get there.  We also have to make sure we give them the authority in our lives to give us direction.  You can NOT argue with them and challenge everything they tell you. In cross-country rally car races, there’s a driver and a navigator.  The driver drives… watching what is right in front of them and making sure they don’t crash.  The navigator looks further ahead to see if there are any detours on the horizon and get the driver ready to react to them. Listen, if you’re just cruising along in life, you’re not racing towards a goal, you don’t need a navigator, but if you want to accomplish something amazing, you’re going to need to really stay focused on what you do well… driving the car. At Least Use a Map or GPS I understand if you’re “car” isn’t big enough to accommodate a navigator at this point.  At the very least, use the tools which will let you know if you’re on track and where you need to go if you do get lost.  Your long and short term goals will do this for you. Your long term goal is like the finish line in this rally race. It doesn’t mean this is the only race you’re run in  your lifetime, but it’s the one you’re in right now.   Your short-term goals are where you need to go to get to the next gas station, or next check-point.  Rally races usually last several days.  This means you check in each night, the timer stops and you refuel, rest and recharge your body.  You also make sure your map is still accurate.  Call to Action Grab your map… designate a navigator (maybe you can navigate for them if they’ll navigate for you).  Know where you are today and where you need to be tonight, if you’re going to make it to the finish line in a few days/weeks/months or years. If you’re lost now… PULL OVER AND STOP.  Get your earrings together. Do this today.  Don’t wait… don’t keep driving aimlessly as you fiddle with your map and try to get re-reouted.

Ep. #43 – The First Step Towards Self-Discipline

I recorded this episode after taking a week off from most of my business work.  In that week, I discovered a "tool" or even a "resource" which has increased my productivity several times over.  It's also helped me with my self-discipline and mindset.  I even feel a clearly understanding of my purpose.  It's been amazing. So, what is it?  Well, it's the fact that I took a week off.   Seriously, I hope you're not disappointed.  No, it's not something that you can download form the App Store, or purchase from the office supply store. You can't make it or buy it or even borrow it. This is one of those things you just have to go get for yourself. Why It's a Struggle I set myself up with the idea that I was going to put out a show every single day without fail. I love that I set that goal and I have kept to it, even when it's meant working later or extra days, but I did it.  If I hadn't set that goal, it wouldn't have happened. This past week, I "failed" to get out even one episode, but it was different.  Why?  Because it was intentional.  I didn't just let a show slip by and hope I would catch up later.  No, I said to myself (and announced to you on Twitter) that I was going to stop for a week.  Then I did.   I set a return time and I held myself to it, which is what you're listening to right now. This is vital if you don't want to let a week turn into a month and eventually into a even longer.  Set that return date. Don't Take a Break in the Storm Last week, in the past two episodes (147 and 148) I shared about a storm our family was going through at the time.  It was part of the reason I needed a break, but I think an important distinction I made was to press on in the middle of the storm, until the winds had calmed and the seas had flattened.  It was at that point that I said... "let's rest." You never rest in the storm.  You may not be able to do exactly what you were doing before it hit, but you do not want to curl up into a ball and hope for it to go away.  That leads to destruction. I hope you'll take a listen to this episode, because I share openly and candidly about the emotions I felt before doing this and how I feel now.  The written word hardly does it any justice.  So, scroll to the top and listen.  It's about 19 minutes, so it won't take you that long. Once you do, let me know what you think about it all.  Find me on Twitter or send me an email: desmond@pdesmondadams.com Thanks

Are You Subconsciously Destroying Your Relationships? - Ep. 120

I’m sure you’ve had one of those situations in your life where there’s something incredibly irritating to you.  I have... A few weeks ago, a friend of mine came to me and said “Man, I think I’m just not going to hang out with them anymore.  I’m just going to do everything I can to avoid them." But is that best? CAUTION: Listen, what I’m talking about in this episode is an annoying relationship, not a dangerous one.  Remember, if you’re in any sort of danger, you must seek safety.  Don’t justify endangering yourself or your children in an effort to “fix someone.”  Let a professional do that while you’re secluded in safety. So, assuming we’re talking about a non-threatening situation… let’s continue. I hear so many people in the personal development world saying “choose who you surround yourself with.  You don’t need to be around people who you don’t want to be around." But… I’m not sure that’s a response driven by love.  Well, it’s love, but love of self or selfish interests.  I share this all the time… we will find peace in our lives when we are driven by love.   So how do we LOVE those who annoy us or those we don’t feel compatible with?  Maybe even our enemies… What’s it mean to Love our Enemies? First… Ask yourself if the your negative impression of the other person comes from your own animosity.  Maybe It’s Just You One way to do this is to ask others in your social circle if they see the same issues with the other person.  If they don’t… you probably need to look inward even more than you thought.      We all… in EVERY situation need to look at what we can improve internally… but some of these situations may require even more internal review. Pushing Those We Don’t Like Away Is the Cause… not the Solution. One of our deepest core desires is to feel valued and valuable.  When someone becomes difficult to deal with it’s often because they don’t feel valued.      When we push them away, we’re only compounding the situation.       Yes, it’s them who caused the issue but  Create a Security and Negativity Disappears. It’s insecurity that causes people to react in a negative way to others.  Insecurity…       Isolation is not a solution to the problem, it’s simply a removal of it.   Avoiding difficult people, even if it’s just for a short time, is really the act of avoiding an opportunity to improve ourselves. We all want to survive.  Attacking those who threaten us is simply a way for us to attempt survival.       We should ask… what is the threat to this person and why? Avoiding Resistance Perpetuates Weakness Resistance makes us stronger.  Just like in a gym, it’s when you face resistance that your muscles are strengthened.       It’s when we face relationship resistance that our ability to have strong relationships is strengthened. A LOT of people who suggest avoiding those we don’t like are also people who may have external happiness or external signs of happiness, but if you ask them, they don’t feel that internal… that deep happiness.  Those You Spot VS Those Who Spot For You We have to realize the people we hang out with aren’t always our support.. sometimes we’re their support.   Know who you’re spotting for and who you need to spot for you. Listen, if you don’t want to spot for them, why does someone else, stronger than you, want to spot for you.  Maybe you’re their annoying person?      When we realize we’re all connected as one, we understand this doesn’t benefit society as a whole.  It’s not improving anything. Our mission is to love… that’s it.  Love.

Should You Avoid The Negative People In Your Live? - Ep. 150

If I had heard what I'm telling you in this episode, 20 years ago, I would be a millionaire several times over.  This is number one thing that's stopped me from reaching my goals in the past.  I'm so grateful I figured this out.  I can't stress to you enough, learn what's in this episode and it will change your life. Fears Stop Us I go over the fears that stop us in a one page report I put together on the 5 Fears which kill out ability to finish.  you can get it at PDesmondAdams.com/5fears or if you’re on your smart phone, send a TEXT to 33444 with the word 5Fears (all one word) in the body of the text.  Fear of Failure.. that’s one is easy for people to accept but... Fear of Success, I’ve found is just as, if not MORE, likely to stop people.  But how do you know if you have a fear of success? I go into that in the report I mentioned and a follow email I send just on that topic, but to give you an idea…. If we have a BURDENSOME view of what success looks like, we may fear it. Fear of Mediocrity is a huge issue for me.  If I’m not done with a project, then in my mind, it’s not mediocre.. it can’t be, because I’m not done with it. Think about that. That’s just 3 of the 5 fears.  It almost always comes down to fears which keep us busy but never finished. Inertia - Don’t Stop Until It’s Done This whole inertia thing you’ve heard about in science classes… it applied to your projects as well. When you stop, you will have one hell of a time trying to get it started again.  If you’ve ever run a race you know first hand, when you slow down and eventually stop, you have a HUGE amount of mental and physical inertia to overcome.   Don’t stop… adjust your speed but never ever stop until you reach the finish line. Take All You Want But Eat All You Take When I was a kid, my dad always repeated the same thing, every meal.. He said he got it it from the Army (how could it be wrong..? haha):   “Take all You Want But Eat All You Take.”  It’s actually a great mindset when it comes to our projects productivity.  I mean, it’s not limiting an any way… Take all you want.  Start as big a project as you desire.  Set your dreams as high as you want.   BUT... Eat all you take.  Meaning… if you’re going to pile up your plate, you better make sure you can eat it all.  Finish what you started.   Leftovers on our plate, were eaten the next day… cold.  Cold liver and onions are not that great… even if you like liver.  haha..   I learned how to take a smaller bite… FINISH my plate of food and go in for another serving.  Take all you want, but eat all you take.   Success Isn’t About What’s On Your Plate, It’s About What Isn’t. Honestly, I find myself sometimes trying to impress people with what I’m doing… not what I’ve done, but what I’m doing…  Seriously, that’s not easy for me to admit.  Sometimes I want people to think I’m doing something amazing… but I’m only doing it, I haven’t finished it.  If you’re in a food eating contesting, it’s not about how many hot dogs are on the plate in front of you, it’s about how many aren’t when the time is up. Finish Something Today Figure out what you can FINISH today.  Maybe it’s a big task, a small project, or a major goal you set a while back.  FINISH IT.   If there’s nothing within your sights, reset your definition of “FINISHED.”       In other words, grab a smaller plate and FINISH that plate

Working Hard Doesn't Make You Successful, This Does. Ep 152

Discover why it's not what you're going through in life that will define you and your worth to those around you. This can make or break your self-esteem if you don't understand what's most important when it comes to defining yourself.  You're also going to discover why you MUST allow the people you love in life, to experience pain. It's our nature to protect them from it, but when we do, we sabotage them and banish them to a life of perpetual struggle. Let's connect on Snapchat: @pdesmondadams

162: Have You Ever Felt Like a Fraud? Here's Why You Probably Shouldn't

I’m obviously still consumed with consuming Jay Papasan’s book, The One Thing. This is like finding a vein of gold and following it to an abundance of riches. I’m giving you “one year to master 5 things and turn them into habits.”  Daily exercise Daily meditation Healthy eating Learn a new language Learn a musical instrument.  Most people would go to work immediately, planning their day to include a bit of each one.  THIS IS WHY WE FAIL. We’re trying to take 5 things all at once and condition our mind to make these regular habits in our life. AND we’re exhausted each day.   In addition to everything else you do, you’re trying to add in five things you’re not used to doing. The process of learning a new habit consumes so much of our the available power in our prefrontal cortex, we’re completely tapped-out when we’re trying to learn too many things at once.  Within a couple of months, we’re distracted and slowing letting our new desired habits die off. Now, let’s look at a new approach that will change your life. A study published by Health Psychology Researcher Phillippa Lally in the European Journal of Social Psychology shows that the average time to form a new habit is 66 days.   This takes into consideration the simpler habit like drinking a glass of water every morning along with the more difficult ones like including daily exercise (at least difficult for me). Average is 66 days. So, what if you forgot the other 4 habits you had to learn and focus on the one you thought might take the longest, such as learning a musical instrument.   If each of the new desired habits takes an average of 66 days to learn, it will take you (on average) 330 days to integrate all 5 habits.  That leaves you 35 days of wiggle room in case one takes a bit longer. DAILY LIFE. This is why so many of us are failing at so much of what we want to accomplish in life. We’re trying to do it all at once. Pick the one thing that’s most important to your success… drop the others and stay focused on the ONE THING (see, there’s that book again) until it’s a habit. Habits take little mental effort.  New tasks take tons of effort.  Learning something new will tax your mind in a big way.   Doing what you’ve always done is often called a mindless task.  It takes little mental power.  Think about a drive you take every day.  Sometimes you get to work and don’t even remember the drive (unless you’re in Southern California… you remember EVERY morning commute.). Again, I’m giving you the summary of this. In the book The One Thing, Jay Papasan does a more in depth explanation as to why this happens. There’s a lot of science that goes into it. Listen, you can spend the next year trying to master 5 new habits, end up frustrated you didn’t accomplish any of them, or you can drop 4 of them for the next 66 days while you master the first one and then be excited in a year when all of them are mindless habits. What ONE THING are you going to turn into a habit over the next 66 days?

How to Be More Productive By Shrinking Your To Do List - Ep. 111

Truth is, you’re incredibly unlikely to reach any goal you set if you don’t have the habits needed to make it happen. If it’s going to be grueling work the entire time, you’re increasing your chances for failure several times over. Last Wednesday we talked about how we can lose our willpower and self-discipline when it’s needed in numerous areas at the same time. Discover Where You’ll Need Will Power Let’s say you set a goal of “fitting into your old prom dress before your class reunion in 9 months." If that’s your goal, you’re immediately going to start doing some things that probably aren’t habits for you at this point.  Thinks like:  Eating less calories each day Increasing the amount of water you drink Decreasing the number of carbs in your diet Running or biking several times a week Incorporating some resistance training and Getting enough sleep.  If you try to do ALL of those things at the exact same time, you’re probably going to fail.  Your willpower and self-discipline is going to be so incredibly fatigued that you will probably fail. But, most of us don’t really sit down and think about those things when we set the goal of “Fit into my old prom dress before the class reunion in 9 months." Break Down The Goal Into The Needed Habits Look at any one of your biggest goals, maybe launching a podcast, or starting an online business, or maybe learning to play the guitar.  Look at that goal and write down the habits you’d need to have in order to support that goal. Honestly evaluate whether each one of those items is already a habit of yours. Make the Habit The Goal First Once you have the list of habits, decide if any of them will support or help learning additional habits. For example, if reading 15 minutes a day is a habit, that might be a good one to focus on first, because it can help support your habit of writing every day.  But don’t do them both at the same time.  Make reading a habit then work on making writing a habit.  Spend your willpower energy on one habit at a time until the energy it takes is so small, you can easily start the next habit.  Some say it’s 21 days and others say it’s over 60, on average.  Some things may take even longer.  As you do this, you’ll find that the goal you had set will start to take care of itself. The pieces will all fall together and it will seem that you’re barreling towards your bigger goal at a speed you never imagined and it’s seeming like it’s taking no effort at all.  One desired habit until it’s developed, then go on to the next one.  This means you may have to project out a bit further when it comes to the ultimate goal, but it’s well worth it when you realize your chances for success have increased dramatically.  Habits Cross-Over and Benefit Future Goals That’s more good news in this, the more you develop habits to support your goals, the more habits you’ll have for future goals.  There are some habits that will cross over into other areas.  In the future you won’t have to develop those ones as they’re already there for you. This is why it seems successful people can be successful at so many things in life.  I mean the really truly successful, not just the ones making a lot of money.  Remember, money doesn’t define success.  This is how some people are said to have “the Midas Touch” which means “everything they touch turns to gold.”  It’s because they’ve got the core habits already in place.   Call to Action Look at your biggest goal up ahead.   Write done the habits you’ll need to accomplish the goal Focus on the one habit which will have the greatest impact on the other habits and the eventual goal.
