EP199 - The Decision to Act

WEBVTT 1 00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:18.760 Good Day, my friend. Welcome to a moment with modes. Thank you 2 00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:27.559 so much for downloading this show. I am stopped up with happy because we 3 00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:34.280 are able to be together again today. Thankful Thursday. Thank you so much 4 00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:44.320 for putting up with my voice again today and Ladies Day, Amelia earhart joins 5 00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:52.039 the show today, and Amelia tells us the most difficult thing is the decision 6 00:00:52.079 --> 00:01:03.000 to act. The rest is merely tenacity. Back in the early S I 7 00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:07.719 went bungee jumping. Of course, it doesn't compare to what Amelia did, 8 00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:15.799 but I climbed up on this perfectly good bridge with the full intention of jumping 9 00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:22.239 off. There's a small river at the bottom, couple people in an inflatable 10 00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:30.040 raft. But what I found out is the rush from bungee jumping doesn't come 11 00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:37.200 during the fall, although you know that was pretty cool. The rush comes 12 00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:42.079 when you stand on the edge and you feel the weight of the band pulling 13 00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:48.480 you and you take that first peek over. You stand there and you think 14 00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:56.799 what the hell am I about to do? Deciding to change jobs or careers, 15 00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:05.680 to be willing to give up some comforts and enter new and unknown territory. 16 00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:09.520 That can be scary, but you know what is more scary to me? 17 00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:16.800 Getting to the end and knowing I didn't give it my awe, taken 18 00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:23.560 that final breath, knowing there's still a song in there. That's scary. 19 00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:30.240 Seneca tells us that we suffer more in our imagination than in reality. Don't 20 00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:37.759 let the fear of things that haven't even happened keep you from jumping. My 21 00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:44.840 friend, like up on that bungy platform, would you make the decision to 22 00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:51.719 jump? There's no going back, so you might as well enjoy the ride. 23 00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:58.000 Take the leap, my friend, carpet momentum. I'll talk to you 24 00:02:58.120 --> tomorrow.
