Let me say it another way, I'll ask it this way. How would you know, if you got what you were looking for? If you got what you were looking, for how would you know? What does that look like?
Let's say it this way: starting on a daily level, what are you willing to purpose in your heart to do today? What's your plan today, what's your goal? Are you going to go home and watch TV or something - what's your goal? Is your goal today, to get the yard taken care of? Is your goal today, to grow in relationship with your family? Is your goal today - and there's no bad goal.
If your goal's to watch TV go in - I make that goal sometimes. Some days I put aside and I just watch movies all day, because my brain needs a reset button. All I do is study and write. I love to lose myself in a movie, nothing wrong with that - but at least I'll know if I attain it.
What's your goal today? Starting on a daily level, what are you going to accomplish today? If you didn't wake up this morning with full intention of doing something, the day will end, and you won't even know what you did! What do you intend to do today?
How about this: is there anything in your life that's not leading you to wholeness? Is there anything you're rationalising, that's actually slowly but surely leading your life to disrepair? Is there anything you're rationalising?
Next one: is your life working? Why not? What obviously needs to change for you to have life, light, and increase - and why not make that change now? What are you going to do, just wait another year? If you need to lose weight, I could tell you this: it's much easier to lose five kilos, than to wait until you need to lose 50. Why not go and lose the five? What are you waiting on?
Everybody has their alarm bell day, you know, with weight. It's like they step on the scale and go: okay that's it, I'm losing weight now. What is that for you? You watch the biggest loser, and here's what I can't believe about the biggest loser. You have people who are on a show dedicated to obese people losing weight, and then they're all surprised they're obese? Like, I don't care what you weigh, as long as you're happy with yourself, it doesn't matter to me. Weigh whatever you'd like, as long as you're happy with yourself - but don't go on a show dedicated to obese people losing weight, and then be surprised you're obese.
They all stand in their underwear on a scale, and it goes beep-beep-beep-beep-beep and then it comes up however many kilos they weigh, and they all respond the same. It's amazing to me, 24 out 24 they all respond the same. [Boo hoo] Then the host has to do a good TV show. The host says: can you tell me what's going on in your heart right now? They all say the same thing: I can't believe this happened to me.
It happened to you - what are you talking about? Your blood type is chicken gravy, what do you mean? I mean like, are you serious? Look, nothing bothers me about how much people weigh, as long as you're happy with yourself. I think that's great, but don't have a blood type of chicken gravy, and then be surprised. This didn't happen to you!
Like one contestant I saw was 5' 1" and 180 kilos, and you're going: where's your alarm button there? Like what were you thinking at 140? I had a guy come see me once, and he said: this is a disaster, I'm in an emergency. I said: what happened? He said: I'm $60,000 in debt. I was like: today?! What did you buy?
The truth is, he had been accumulating debt all along, but $60,000 was his button. Where's your panic button financially? Everybody has an internal-angst point. Everybody has an imaginary number, and you know it, yours is different than mine. Everybody has a number, that if your bank account gets below that number, it feels like zero to you. What is that for you, and does it need to be adjusted?
I met a guy whose panic button wasn't until negative $60,000. I couldn't live with that guy. The guy's a maniac! That's crazy stuff to me. My zero point's way, way higher than that. What do you need to change? What obviously needs to change, and what are you waiting on? Are you waiting to need to lose another two kilos before you start? I mean what are you doing? What are you doing?
Let's say it this way. Are you willing to be a do-er, or are you okay just being a hear-er? Are you willing to be a doer; or are you okay just being a hearer?
My last question to you is this: rock or sand? Do you want to land on your feet, or do you prefer landing on your face? Rock or sand - the choice is yours.
