EP166 - Be Discriminating

WEBVTT 1 00:00:06.200 --> 00:00:13.150 Good Day, my friend. Welcome to AU moment with modes. Thank you 2 00:00:13.470 --> 00:00:18.670 so much. We're downloading the show. I am so happy that you are 3 00:00:18.870 --> 00:00:23.780 here with me today. What a great weekend. It was kind of crazy 4 00:00:23.820 --> 00:00:31.579 here in Vancouver, where we had protests at counter protests. You probably heard 5 00:00:31.620 --> 00:00:39.770 we're having trucker convoy protests here in Canada and this weekend it rolled into Vancouver. 6 00:00:40.689 --> 00:00:46.250 It was met by counter protesters right in front of my music school, 7 00:00:46.409 --> 00:00:52.000 Horizon School of music. Crazy weekend. My wife and I were talking about 8 00:00:52.000 --> 00:01:00.920 it and you know, while I don't agree with the truck convoy protests, 9 00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:08.870 at least those people are getting out and actually doing something and they're taking action 10 00:01:08.870 --> 00:01:14.870 about something that they believe in. I don't like what they're doing, but 11 00:01:14.950 --> 00:01:22.180 that's what readom of speeches. You have to allow the other side to speak 12 00:01:22.420 --> 00:01:29.700 to and who knew that you could stop a truck convoy by stepping out onto 13 00:01:29.780 --> 00:01:37.609 the road? What interesting times we live in. EPIC titis joins the show 14 00:01:37.769 --> 00:01:45.849 today, and epic titis says be discriminating about what images and ideas you permit 15 00:01:46.209 --> 00:01:52.760 into your mind. If you don't control what thoughts and images you expose yourself 16 00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:59.519 to, someone else will, and their motives may not be the highest. 17 00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:07.349 It is the easiest thing in the world to slide imperceptibly into bull guaranty. 18 00:02:08.509 --> 00:02:16.900 It always amazes me how pertinent a quote from two thousand years ago can be 19 00:02:17.180 --> 00:02:25.819 today. Mass Media, social media, reality TV showing their people at the 20 00:02:27.060 --> 00:02:34.250 worst, and it's so easy, garbage in, garbage out, to get 21 00:02:34.289 --> 00:02:42.530 sucked in. I know what a platform like facebook is so great for keeping 22 00:02:42.650 --> 00:02:46.120 in touch with people that we may have lost track with, keeping in touch 23 00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:51.080 with family that lives somewhere else, and we all start off with that intention, 24 00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:59.629 but damn if it doesn't lead to doom scrolling and places like facebook it's 25 00:02:59.830 --> 00:03:06.110 designed to keep you scrolling. And of course, when you're scrolling you're not 26 00:03:06.469 --> 00:03:09.349 working on you, you're not working on your goals, you're not working on 27 00:03:09.469 --> 00:03:16.060 your dreams. Everything that passes through our minds affects us, so we have 28 00:03:16.259 --> 00:03:22.180 to be careful about what we're putting in there on a daily basis. If 29 00:03:22.219 --> 00:03:29.889 we keep exposing ourselves to negativity every day, it has a way of sinking 30 00:03:30.289 --> 00:03:37.569 into us. We need to let in the images and ideas that nourish us 31 00:03:37.889 --> 00:03:45.080 and strengthen us, to build what Pierre Hardau would call our intercitadel. We 32 00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:52.319 make ourselves stronger from the inside out it. And while I believe that the 33 00:03:52.520 --> 00:04:00.189 universe is on your side, I know that not everyone else is on your 34 00:04:00.229 --> 00:04:05.909 side and other people have their own agendas. FACEBOOK's agenda is to keep you 35 00:04:06.229 --> 00:04:15.259 on facebook, and we all know that life isn't always gentle. Building our 36 00:04:15.379 --> 00:04:23.540 intercitadel will help us weather the storms that the world is going to throw our 37 00:04:23.660 --> 00:04:29.129 way. Time is short, me, Amigo. The sand runs through the 38 00:04:29.250 --> 00:04:35.329 hour glass quicker than we think. Let's get away from waste in time, 39 00:04:35.649 --> 00:04:44.000 let's get away from doom scrolling and let's work on our intercitadel. Let's make 40 00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:51.949 ourselves stronger, let's nourish ourselves with what we're putting in our minds. Carpay 41 00:04:53.069 --> 00:04:55.990 momentum. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
