Enthusiasm, Connection & Magic

  • Summary

  • [00:00:00] Hey, guys. Hi. I would take a few minutes out to talk to you about somebody I was listening to and reading about the last week and some fascinating insights about life that he's reiterated for me. And the person's name is Adam Robinson. Does a lot of things. You can look him up. I heard him on a Tim Ferriss podcast. I think this was part customer 210. The show was brilliant. If you got a chance, please headed out. It's a two hour, one and a half hour episode called The Very Best Version of You. Now, [00:00:30] some of the things one of the questions posed to the two item was that if you give three pieces of advice to somebody, what would they be?[00:00:40] And.[00:00:42] It he articulated what was needed to say. He said very beautifully. Like, I it just it just made me feel alive. I was absolutely decimating everything he was saying. The first one he said was he talked about enthusiasm. And he said that I understand that life is [00:01:00] happening for you. This life exists for you. It's not happening to you. So our disease is happening to you the whole life around you. As for you, what you need to understand is that every single thing in life that you do, you have to do it with enthusiasm. You have to want to do that. And if you don't feel like it, you got to create that enthusiasm. If you want success in it, you will never, ever get success in life if you don't put enthusiasm behind it. And it spoke to me so directly because that's how my life is either. [00:01:30] And this is something else. Somebody else said on another day for this podcast. His name was dance. Servers are on servers. I'm sorry. I will link the guys in the podcast later. He said that in life, when you are given a decision to make about something, you should do something or not. In my head, that's what I do. I think about it. If that idea is a hell, yes, I do it. If it's not, I'm not going to do it. And that's a beautiful word of simplifying life. [00:02:00][00:02:00] You don't have to do everything unless, of course, it's a hell. Yes. And for the hell, yes. Get the enthusiasm going for now. If you guys are very about studying exams and all of that stuff. And that's because my audience is mainly students, I understand that the studying part might not be a hell. Yes. But then think about your goals, your careers. Are they? Hell yes, if they're not. You've got to change them if they are. Maybe you're doing that for families or the family becomes a hell. Yes. So if the hell yes. And you got to give it that enthusiasm. Because the other thing is the reason is because you don't [00:02:30] live alone. I mean, you're not sitting behind a desk all day, 10 hours a day. It is not that kind of job unless it goes you want to be a freelancer or even that you have to go meet people. And the reason I say enthusiasm is because people will feel your enthusiasm. People feed off that the energy you give to them to transfer to them. That'll come out into in the enthusiasm. So the first thing I'll tell my kids is and this is something I live by. Absolutely. And at times I would be honored to be doing something that was giving me enthusiasm or excitement or. Hell, yes. And [00:03:00] I was like, you know what? I'll only do something if it's a hell.[00:03:02] Yes, I am. I'm too or not. I'm almost 40. I got a few years left. I want to only do things that are hell. Yes. And I'll tell you this. Also, make your life more about the hell yes moments and do whatever you need to do with enthusiasm. You meet people, they feed off the enthusiasm that you will have and it will be contagious. People will have much more respect for you. You live a much better impression on them. They will want to see you again. So somebody else said this and I can't [00:03:30] I don't remember the name again, reiterating some smart person. These are all things that somebody else has said. I'm just curating the content for you guys out there. One of the persons said that, you know, that the effect you have on people is the most important or the strongest or the most valuable currency you have. So if you want to have that leverage or that advantage, leverage sometimes is not a positive word. But if you want to have an advantage in relationship, you've got to treat that relationship or any encounter [00:04:00] with that in full enthusiasm. And people would feed off that and they will respect it and they will want it and they will want to meet you again and again and give you that respect. That's one. The second thing that was Adam had shared was that make connections you can use.[00:04:17] Here's a guy who's lived life alone. He's a very smart guy who dental who tended to live his life as a teacher and then a business man and this and that in a very close circle. He didn't want to meet people, but the number of people doesn't matter. But as long as you understand [00:04:30] that in your life, you need to connect with people. Living is connections with people. You can't live ...
