What's going on everybody welcome to the sheep get sheared podcast home of people politics of popular culture
I'm your host the one only Austin Creed and my friends welcome into the morning show and I want to provide you with a little bit
of education and a little bit of exhilarating exhilaration this morning and
How we're going to do that is discuss a simple fact of reality everybody has
At least a couple passing thoughts about how to improve their life
They might consider that hey this might be fun or hey, I might want to do x y or z
However these thoughts are just fleeting
They don't have a lot of planning put into it and they might even think to themselves
Yeah, that might be nice, but I'm not gonna be able to actually do that
well on friends
This idea of being perfect this idea of oh, I need the perfect plan. I need the perfect execution
I need the perfect set up. I need perfect this and perfect that
perfection is the enemy of progress and
So on your road to improving and becoming the best version of yourself this idea of being perfect
We got to ignore that we got to get rid of it immediately
Immediately because let me tell you something you look at the most successful people in the world
I guarantee you they don't wake up every day always doing the right thing always doing what they ought to do
And they don't have that down
A lot of people kind of scrape it together. There's no perfect way to do things
Everyone has a unique life. Everyone has unique problems. They face every hour of every day
And yet people would have you believe that you need to do this way and this way only no no no
You wanna know how you will improve by 1% every day you adjust the little habits in your life
You adjust the little things that given time will compound into big
Big choices in your life that you won't even have to think about making because you've already made them
Sun Tzu said that the battle was won before the battle was fought
You would you could tell you exactly who would win based on the preparation
That's exactly what I could tell you today
I can tell you right now if you can will get to where you want to go in your life if I ask you what
You do every day how your day is structured if you even have a structure
And I could tell you whether you'll win the battle or you've already lost now
If you've lost the battle already, that's okay
You might have lost a battle, but the war is far from over your life is most likely very far from over
So don't be depressed. Don't be down be determined to be better, and that's exactly
What you should do and if you're ready for it. We're gonna get right into it right now
And I'm messing around on the show today. How do I improve by 1% every day? That's the title of the show?
So how we do that? How do you think that practically you can increase?
Your improvement and get 1% closer to your goals. How do you think you can do it?
well, just in the same way that a
Plant can survive without proper sunlight proper nutrients you will be able to your dreams are the same way
They won't be able to survive in your mind if you don't have the proper conditions
And you don't surround yourself with a nurturing environment
If there are weeds all over your garden of your mind, and you're finding yourself on social media too much you're finding yourself
Things you know slacking off, maybe drinking too much
Maybe whatever it is you're doing then you can't be surprised if things are getting on those weeds are sucking away the nutrients
From your dreams it won't be a shock
It won't be a shock it might hurt
But sometimes pulling out the thorny weeds might hurt your hand, but it might but it will save your garden
To improve yourself every day you have to focus on what you do every day or the habits of your life
What do you actively do every day? Do you have a plan? Do you say hey? I'm going to the gym today. I
Have to get this homework done. I have to get back to this person via email. What is it you do every day?
Do you just kind of walk through it saying oh, i'm gonna just i'm eyeballing it man
I don't know what i'm doing, but like i'm doing something
No, we ought to change all that habits will form behavioral patterns and behavioral patterns will form your personality
which will be
Paramount to how you view the world and will help you become the person that you've always wanted to become
The problem is most people they focus on the destination
They don't realize that the journey they're running is in the wrong direction
They think oh because I could see a destination. They don't realize they're running in a circle
every day
Now because they're moving quote forward as in time is passing
They think that they're moving in the direction. They should be going but in reality unfortunately
It's quite the opposite you're just running in a circle
You're on a hamster wheel running in the same way
But because time is passing and you're quote moving forward because time is moving you think that you're actually taking a step forward
Towards your goal problem is it's not true too many people. They don't they don't know what
They don't even know what path they're supposed to be on
If you don't even know what path you're on you can get mad if you are not reaching your destination of choice
Let me ask you something. It's see equivalent of being a singular right?
If a sailor doesn't know what port he's trying to go to
That he can't be mad if he's wondering at sea
It's the same thing in your life if you don't know where you're going then how do you know how to get there?
It's what I ask people on campus and people that I meet I find it rather strange
I should probably add I find it quite sad
That I'll ask people what is it you want to do and they'll have a list of things well
I could do that and my you want to do that, but I know for a fact
I don't want to do X Y or Z
But they don't have a plan of what they actually want to do and that's not a surprise
It's not a surprise because you're not taught that
Normies aren't taught that I could tell whether you're a normie or you're plugged in
Because if you're plugged in I know what answers you'll give me
but if you are
in
If you're knowledgeable if you're aware if you've broken out of your conditioning then I know a little bit more
You know a little bit more than the average person. I know exactly
What kind of what path you've taken?
So I can guide you on what path to go next if you want me to or I can help you point yourself in the right direction
But to improve every day by at least one percent is
Paramount that you to make this distinction between
Minor improvements and major improvements a lot of people want to conquer every do everything
They've ever wanted in one day when they feel when they're feeling motivated
Well my friends, I hate to tell you this but Rome wasn't built in a day
However, they were laying bricks every hour of every day
Because they knew that consistency was key and they knew that if they were to stop
They had to resume immediately because it was way too easy to just give up
Once you stop what you fall off that wagon really easy to just give up or to divert your attention elsewhere
Instead of focusing on improvement and forgiving yourself and moving forward
Not drifting forward moving forward. It's easy to drift
Drifting is the natural state of every person. It's easy to say. Oh, well, I could I should I would not I will I must
in an hour we have
Need to switch up your thinking because your thinking will affect your actions your actions will become behaviors
And before you know it your behaviorals will affect your entire life
It's a journey and you must fall in love with it because if you don't love the journey the destination
Will become a chore and you will not make it. I
Want you to examine the steps you take forward every day the habits that you have I
Want you to really be honest with yourself and say are these sustainable are these conducive to life that I want to live?
So the answer is no
Then you must get rid of them immediately and you must change up what you're doing
Because if you want to become if who you currently are is not compatible with the person you want to become
One of you's got to give one of you's got to go and that's your choice to make if you want to be a millionaire
But you spend all of your money. Guess what one of those two has got to go if
You want to be someone who's maybe a nurse or you want to be someone who's incredibly?
rigorous
incredibly rigorous and
Dedicated to helping other people, but you're selfish or you don't want to put in the time you talk a good game
But you're not willing to follow through one of those two things has to go
You cannot be rowing in one direction and have someone else rowing in another direction
Because you'll move nowhere, and you'll be exhausted on top of it all
My friends a lot of people don't talk like this they know challenge you like this
I don't hear a lot of shows. I don't hear anybody doing this right now a lot of people want to just
Blow smoke up your butt and tell you that you deserve everything no you don't deserve everything you have to earn it and it's my
Goal to help you earn everything in your life if that you ever wanted the problem is it's not free
It's not easy and the only way to get it is to give something in return
Whether it's you give up a behavior you give up an action you give up something you currently are doing
That's not conducive with the future career that you want to have these are things you must give
Sacrifice on the altar of success because nothing is ever free nothing
Everyone every price has to be paid whether it's by you or by someone else nothing is free and
So it's my goal that you need to start becoming the best version of yourself and in doing so
You must sacrifice parts of yourself that maybe you don't like that or might be a guilty pleasure of yours
But you must get rid of them
And if you haven't already do not hate yourself for it just realize that sometimes you got a hold that L
But you gotta move forward you gotta move past it cuz we don't move past it
It will be a ball and chain around your ankle inhibiting you while you're trying to run the race of life
And you are the do you need to become better?
And you're satisfied with who you are please turn the show off because you
Excuse me. I'm getting a little too worked up over here
But my friends look
To improve at 1% every day you must sacrifice 1% of what you might be currently doing
In order to add something to the schedule of your life some of you might have to get something up in return
Because you only have so much willpower throughout the day you only have so much ability to do something in a day
Let's maximize it shall we?
form good habits
change your mentality
and
In the same way that a gardener has to uproot his current crop if it's dying out to replace it with something new so that
May grow and thrive you have to do the same thing in your life
My friends go out there conquer the world
Become a better version of yourself and report back to me with the spoils of war that you accumulate over time my friends
Do not settle for something that you don't want because you don't want that under conscience my friends
God bless you. God bless your families. God bless America peace out you
