good enough Daniel welcome to the show
how are you hi I'm great thanks for
having first question is that your real
last name it is it's a family name it
fits admits you are good enough we
started in the Isle of Wight
it's awesome well it just fits perfectly
um I mean that's what I mean having that
spoken over you every time your name was
called in school good enough yes I am I
am good no feeling of being unworthy or
or an underachiever right well actually
it did keep me present to that question
and I wouldn't say immediately assumed I
was so if you know that it's part of the
process of growing up and saying yeah
yeah my that's that's something that you
bring to the table too and I've been
hearing from some people and that's
that's a whole nother way of approaching
a lot of people talking about they knew
what they were supposed to do from a
young age since they were born I don't
know if it's always feeling like you had
a calling or a life purpose or you were
sitting here to do something essentially
some people walk around aimlessly you
know and they're still trying to find
that on into their adult life they don't
know why they're here but you you had
that that that feeling since you were a
child you want to talk about that a
little bit
yeah I'm sure I it is true that as long
as I can remember remembering it on the
what point that is when you're aware
that you're aware I did know why it was
here and then the question was looking
around as a young child that all the
people that I could see going off to
these jobs that were making them
miserable and released wondering why it
was they were doing that so that was
part of my life pursuit was helping
other people get in touch with why they
who are you why are you here and what
does that call you to do you know though
the Y translated as of what that causing
you to do would be the outer life's
mission and the who that caused me to
become and who will I become by doing it
it's the inner election mission and what
I would say about that is well I did
know early on I one of the things I'm
sharing is that it's not just for the
lucky few you know that it's a skill
development like anything else in life
and if you're willing to do the
practices if you were an elite athlete
there'd be practices to do every day if
you were wanting to be an elite musician
there'd be scales to do every day so I
bring what you might say our life
mission scales there are practices you
can do so my promise is that anyone and
everyone can get in touch if you're
willing to do the practices with why
you're here what that caused you to do
and that's calling you to be and like
Pablo Casals doing his scales in his
nineties it's not a one-time thing
because how you express or the vehicle
you use to express it is probably
changing rapidly in our world know that
the average graduating high school
student today can expect to have as many
as 16 different careers in their
lifetime so how are you going to decide
how you're moving through the multiple
careers in the way that lets say lights
you up yes and and and essentially which
ones come first which ones you should
pursue there's
notion that I've been exploring a little
bit here and and finally starting to see
some success with my life I was a truck
driver for the past 15 years and
eventually felt like that truck was a
cage you know I would drive you know
seven hundred eight hundred miles per
day and I just felt like I was stuck and
I was supposed to be doing something
greater that life purpose that we're
talking about there you felt when you
was a kid I felt that as well and I
would always I have my hand in a lot of
different things being real creative I
liked the podcast I like to do music I
like to do spoken word I like to do
gaming and a whole bunch of stuff that
I'm good at all of it but it's about
finding which one you should spend the
most time in for that season why you
should do it and and what I found that
ended up being the key is we can explore
any of that and go down any of it and be
successful doing any of it but it's
picking one or two and just being
consistent with it consistency became my
my hashtag essentially because it was
definitely my problem in a lot of other
people who are creative and they have
all of these creative ideas I can do
this I can start a non-profit I can
start an MLM I can join this company I
can go work for this friend all of these
things are possible we could do all of
it and I've seen myself and many of my
friends get into something for a week
get into something for two weeks get
into something for a month and they're
excited they're in it but every week
they jump into something different talk
a little bit about how how we're
supposed to pick what were to do if if
any and and how consistency pays off and
doing that well one of the ways to
approach that is again skill development
and the consistency you're talking about
is being consistent in the conversation
that you're having with the one that
sent you so that I mean if you say life
mission it implies by the way you're
saying that you were sent and that's one
of the reasons I say mission instead of
purpose his purpose is off
temporary you know like sometimes our
mission purpose is to get to the other
side of the room or sometimes our
purpose is to finish our work early so
we can enjoy a long weekend may or may
not have anything to do with why you're
here unless you make that your purpose
so mission and playing being Seth means
it's a conversation you're having with
the one that sent you whatever that
means to you and so then if you are
consistent in your conversation with
life with the one that sent you about
why am I here then it means there's an
ongoing inquiry and that inquiry can be
skillful and the inquiry can be let's
say from a dropped in place a meditative
place no however you do that in your
practice that says I'm not going to try
to figure out what I'm going to do next
and if you're in the consistent inquiry
like some of the things that you
mentioned if you were going to do that
masterfully you'd be present too
how is it working out what I'm doing
let's say it is something that you have
an interest in and the passion around
and you start doing it being ongoing
inquiry with why am I here and what does
that call me to do and who is that
calling me to be could be the ongoing
inquiry with how is it how's it working
you know that what I'm doing and who I'm
showing you know could I refine who I'm
showing up as could I refine my idea of
who I'm going to be as a result of doing
that and does that sync with my
impression of why I'm here and they were
you know there are scales to do it if
you if you want to be not just masterful
at identifying the what
but masterful with the ongoing process
of how you're showing up to that then
from time to time which vehicle you are
expressing through wouldn't be something
you figured out it wouldn't be something
in the spur of the moment through a
moment of enthusiasm you decided to jump
on it be coming from an informed
let's say realization that resulted from
an ongoing practice of showing up to the
inquiry consistently so that consistency
you're mentioning that's around being
masterful at anything many of the things
you're doing like becoming more
masterful at doing this podcast would be
the same kind of consistency required to
not only know the yoneu but knowing how
you are being called to show up to that
in the way that it might be morphing and
transforming and evolving understanding
the way the mind works if we know how to
be consistent
maybe you've explored the opposite end
of the spectrum of what is it that makes
people not be consistent what does it
what why do people abandon something and
here's a here's a here's a word self
self-sabotage there's many people who
get started I think I've been there I
don't know if it's just a lack of
support or once when success starts to
come jump ship in abandon it and start
something brand new a lot of my friends
a lot of these people it's some some
type of mechanism some type of trigger I
don't know what would cause it have you
studied that at all that when people are
consistent and things start to flourish
for them they get scared and run in
abandoned ship I think part of it for me
has been wanting to be original wanting
to brand something and berthed it that
was new and then when other people start
copying it I'm like okay you guys can
have it let me do something else I've
been a part of that have you have you
studied a little bit of that at all sure
I guess you could talk about that as
foundation so why you know some of the
reasons that people sabotage themselves
would be comfort zone shadow resistance
compensatory self you know all those
kind of fundamental personality things
or deep self things so sure though it
helps you stay present to the
conversation if you're having a
conversation
shadow as the denied parts of self you
know what I'm not present to that is
present in how I'm showing up in the
world and how my compensatory the selves
I created to be okay with who is I was
in in the environment of growing up you
know anytime I wasn't okay as who I was
I created a compensatory self as an
adjustment to that there's that you know
you could say that what's comfortable
for us you know there is a thing called
a positive comfort zone if your present
to the comfort zone that stops you you
might be present to how do I expand by
trying new things a broader range of
what I'm comfortable in developing skill
in so there are all of those things and
coming back to the life mission I would
say know when you were talking about
feeling like that truck was a cage in my
experience in life personally I found
that when I would be between things and
that would feel like I was doing a day
job that I could say that I'm stuck in
having a clear idea that I was in the
process of moving toward the next phase
of my life mission had me being in that
day job and not feeling stuck in it
because they the ever-present day-to-day
humdrum or boredom or angst about being
in this dead-end day job or that or at
least I perceived it to be yeah wasn't
mitigated by the fact that I knew I was
in the process of the next step in my
life mission and I had an ongoing
process of being in that dialogue you
know like some of those skills are you
know speaking of the early life things
when I looked at my childhood and it
said and looking back and say what were
my favorite toys what were my favorite
stories while were my favorite movies
what sports what places that I like to
go to what activities and then I said
why why were those my favorites what in
those stories or movies or the things I
did with the toys or sports that I was
involved in what was it about those that
speaks to my nature
who were my heroes and why would they my
hero
if I said I could spend a date with
anyone who would it be and why would I
choose that if I could go to any place
in history where would I go to spend a
day a week or a month and why would I
say that you know there that's just one
of many hundreds of scales that if I'm
asking myself on a consistent basis and
it's an ongoing practice that house
speed me to be masterful with my way I
knew then the moment-to-moment decision
about which of my quote-unquote passions
I'm going to pursue right now wouldn't
be a figuring it out thing it would be
let's say intuitively obvious because
I've been in this conversation with
myself would say capital S and you know
the one that transcends my compensatory
shake comfort zone shadow self and the
one that sent me in life you know cuz
none of us exists then and I well most
of us do not live in an island by
ourselves so it's that conversation with
the one that sent us with what we're
surrounded our environment and the
aspects of the inner selves yeah with
that that's that's a good you brought
that up because with that there's this
and I mean I would do that I would fill
the cage and then I would have to check
myself and say look you prayed for this
job you asked for a better job this job
is better than the one you were at
before this and and you have to bring
yourself back in the moment and
understand but especially when you're on
the brink and you're on the edge and you
can see it it's so close but yet so far
away that
ank's that gets there and your sensory
your you know your starting the curse or
blessing that God gave you sent you that
you asked for you and there's then
there's other people what helps you be
president thankfulness there's other
people who would kill for your job right
now who would kill to be in that truck
caged in that truck but it's that inward
desire that you're put here for more and
here's another thing I guess another
part of it is that even in the
scriptures it talks about how we're
supposed to be talked about how we're
supposed to be present and
content so how do we reach a level of
contentment wherever we are but still
want more for our life because there's
the you know the in religion there's
what's called the prosperity gospel and
that's like you never have enough you
just want more and more and more and
more and you're never satisfied once you
get that job you want a better job once
you get that call you want the better
call you got to keep up with the Joneses
and there's that notion that's there but
as far as like being content where you
are and and not being anxious not
worrying but still wanting something
better what worse that that safe zone
there well I think that starts with the
why question you know I'm saying why am
I here was i calling me to do and who's
that called me to be if I'm present to
the Y that I'm asking what's it for so
when you get the thing you said you want
it and you're having this ongoing
conversation about the Y which means the
what I acquired what does that have to
do with the Y he said I'm here and I
wouldn't be wrong to say for instance I
want this beautiful color or I want this
beautiful house re want this
fill-in-the-blank whatever it is it's
not that it's wrong per se you might ask
yourself though that now that I haven't
or if I got that what that actually made
me happy from the perspective of why I'm
here so if you were present to the
service aspect of why you're here and
you could ask yourself what's it for so
then if you're in the middle of the
situation that you're in angst about
like you said maybe you got something
that you prayed for and then it was met
all you expected it to be or now you're
anxious for what's next you you could
ask yourself well in terms of what my
life is for having gotten this what is
that telling me you know the part of me
that wants to be anxious about the next
let's say shiny object yeah is it a
shiny object or is it the next piece
I'm here if it's why I said I'm here and
I trust that I am in this conversation
with the one that sent me then I won't
be in such a hurry to figure from my
local perspective whether or not I
should be further along with that and I
might trust that it is in process and if
I'm end the ongoing inquiry I won't be
anxious so much about the process
because I mean that ongoing inquiry and
the conversation with the one that sent
me in light okay that I want to ask you
little bit about that term they're the
one that sent me I talk about God
spirituality all of these things very
comfortable with that um is that the
beginning prerequisite to finding your
dream is that like coz enough if you
have these steps like people who don't
believe or people have a term who have
problems with with those type of terms
of God of a higher power whatever the
case is there you have to come to kind
of grips with that first with with your
approach of finally go why they're here
if they don't are they working against
it how does that work for someone who
may not believe well it's not a
prerequisite to start like so sometimes
I might say life you know you're in a
conversation with life and the thing is
if you start that conversation you stay
in that conversation it's pretty much
inevitable that you will arrive at a
point where you get to okay so then
what's creating this life you're in
conversation with like so you can be a
theist or agnostic and you could start
the journey and you and you could call
it just life divine intelligence
whatever word you pick and if you stay
in the conversation at some point it's
gonna light up for you that there is a
something and a someone or you know I
guess we could say first person second
person third person view of Scott you
know there's God be yet you know like
star wars the force there's God second
person
you know like a personification of that
and or there's gotten first-person you
know so anyway you shake it at some
point if you just stay in the
conversation that will emerge for you
it's so I wouldn't say it's a
prerequisite to start if you start
though you will arrive at that frontier
at some point and then you'll have to
get present to you know what are we
actually what is it I'm in conversation
with that isn't this vague notion that
I'm calling life and life would be okay
to start fair you could be agnostic and
you could be I haven't decided yet
but start the journey be an inquiry with
license you know and the other thing is
again if I say it's life mission that
implies being sent
you know we're even talking spiritual or
military you know so again that's why I
don't say purpose because purpose could
be why you decide in a moment and one of
the things I've noticed about purpose is
it tends to run in in trends like
fashion trends in clothing you know like
in any given let's say decade it might
be fashionable to decide that this is my
purpose but when I and when I say
mission it applies that it was packed in
your bags when you were sent you're like
if you're sending your child to music
camp
you might cracked it you might pack
sheet music and instruments along with
the clothes if you're sending your child
to sports camp you'd pack athletic
equipment you know so we came already
packed in our bags as indebted in our
members as it says in the scriptures so
that it's it's embedded in your members
it's written in your members so it's not
something you decide in the moment it's
more like you remember that's what some
people in the chatter asking about the
the act of remembering is so if
something they were sent that did we
know it when we were children did we
forget it are we trying to find it out
what is it that the whole term the act
of remembering for you because that's I
know that's a key word for you so
remembering is you know the where it
means to make part of you remember make
it part of you again and you know the
research shows that when you ask
somebody in life at the point where
they're free to do whatever they want to
do maybe they won the lottery maybe
they're retiring and they're in a good
place in the retirement or for whatever
reason got an inheritance what the
research says inevitably they arrive at
what they want to do then is what they
already knew at seven they wanted to do
and there's things about how the brain
forms that make sense of the seven thing
and from a spiritual perspective you
could say he's been you long enough to
kind of see how it works here but not so
long you forgot where you came from you
know all those things that around the
seven year old says that most of us new
at seven unless we add let's say trauma
if we were the victim of some trauma
maybe we buried it but most kids do know
it seven and then we get talked out of
it because it's not a thing in our
culture to make that a priority
unfortunately and I'd like to change
that so then it means well then how do
you remember and again what I'm saying
is there can be there is a process I've
spent my life putting it together and
I'm not the only one that's developed
the process for remembering the ongoing
inquiry the ongoing doing of the scales
like anything you want to become
masterful with can bring you through the
here's what I've noticed I've noticed
about my life and I'm going deeper in
the inquiry and if you stay in that
inquiry you I it's my promise that you
will remember and you will be able to
say anyone to with to anyone anywhere
under any circumstance and articulate it
fully here's why I'm here this is what
this is what I'm called to do at the
moment and this is Who I am called to be
to step into next and I do have a sense
of who I'll become in a general way and
then I'm in the ongoing inquiry about
being able to dance with that so that if
and next I'm present two changes I'll be
ahead of that and working on it before
it shows up because I'm masterful and
embodying my reason for being here and I
have made part of me again that thing
that I came to Express and that is is
the word remembering to reenact some
part of you which was the thing you came
up with and for okay so you said the
word to be able to dance with it that's
a great word because I think the journey
is is the dance and and and I'm actually
going to recapture the dream or to
remember the dream that as you're saying
some people in the chat also this is
hunter he's asking about okay so what if
you know your mission and um I guess
that's debatable though okay we'll just
say this if you know your mission and
you're trying you're trying you're
trying but nothing is paying off there's
no fruit you're not gaining any ground
whether you want to be a successful
musician nobody wants to give you a shot
nobody acknowledges you nobody
recognizes that you you're trying you're
trying to trying to feels like you're
spinning your wheels in the mud what do
you do if you feel like that your life
mission and it's not working do is there
do you need to go back and re-evaluate
it to go back into what we call the
secret place of meditation and prayer
and get further instructions on how to
do it and what to do is that could
somebody be jumping the gun on their
life mission and spinning their wheels
or go toward being even being successful
in the wrong direction yeah well one of
the ways I talk about is the difference
between trans rational you know we start
off in life or a pre rational then our
Western culture has been pretty good at
least in in certain places in the world
and training people do be skillful with
the rational mind well weird what we
haven't engaged in so much is the trans
rational knowing self that in our
moments of Epiphany that's the trans
so you know like epiphany means eternity
has entered into time so the one of the
problems of the 400 years of the view of
the world as a machine or a clock like
mechanism if I just understand
understand how the cogs work understand
the purpose of the watch or the machine
so how that comes back to the question
you were presenting is let's say that
you have a pretty good idea of the
larger why you're here that you have an
impression that the what how I'm going
to express that is let's say being a
musician and how you're going to express
that what how you're meant to step into
that the how part becomes more skillful
if you're in the conversation with life
so being like any again coming back to
the elite athlete if you're an elite
athlete of course you know you want to
win the match or the game to at the
level of an elite athlete when you
become a crawl which is what you'd want
to be
if you said music was my mission I want
to be a pro I want to be able to make a
living doing this then part of the
ongoing process is understanding all the
people you are in that field width and
what the nature of today's environment
for in this case music is so the ongoing
skill development of both being a
musician and being masterful at
expressing your mission would be again
coming back to the scales there would be
musical scales to do and there'd be
professional awareness scales to do
meaning here's the business of music and
then I want to be an accomplished
musician the aspect of how to manifest
that in terms of an expression of your
mission would be doing the life mission
scales so that inquiry the ongoing
inquiry like what
is fascinating me now what am i noticing
I'm noticing now and why am i noticing
that and what does that have to do with
why I'm here and in the conversation
with the one that said me assuming that
the one that sensed you wants you to
step into that if that's why you're here
there there's a guidance that comes not
just from your let's say meditation and
states of prayer it's also what you
might call the book of life you know so
everything speaks if you are present if
you adhere to the idea that you're in a
conversation with the one that sent you
when that conversation shows up
everywhere in your life and if you fully
expect to get that guidance for how do I
move from where I am now to being a
professional musician you know it's fair
enough that there's frustration and
angst about that that won't do much for
you if you now move from the inks to
okay I'm gonna drop into I'm going to
let's say it let's say be present to
that there is a place in me that's
present to the trans rational
conversation that I could be having with
spirit with our life whatever you call
that the one that sent you then I'm now
going to be present to the book of life
and that everything speaks and that life
spirit the one that sends me wants me to
get the message here's what you do next
here's where you go here's who you talk
to this is what you research there are
steps to follow to manifest the how of
your why what note and having that
ongoing inquiry you know that the
Mystics say the two wings of waking up
are your meditative contemplative prayer
full practices and inquiry so the
ongoing practice of inquiry as to the
why what new is the foundation for the
how do I step into it so that you're not
just trying to figure out based it you
know one of the things we say about the
figure
mine as a structure of mind is it will
be based entirely on your experience and
if your experience was adequate you'd be
a professional musician if you if you
aren't or haven't been and you want to
be if you're not already then your past
experience isn't the thing that's gonna
get you there so then there is you know
by definition if you're figuring it out
the figuring it out mind is basing that
on your experience of the past or other
people's experience in the past and at
the rate of change in the world what you
need is the call in the future call it
divine intent and if you're in the
conversation with the one that sent you
you will find the divine intent for how
to step into the how you'll get guidance
so to speak that brings you back to the
inquiry again so again your back to the
practice the inquiry what do I notice
about what I notice if people you know
is like what's one of the things about
yeah I'm good at this and I'm good at
this and I'm gonna test and I've worked
with so many people that as you say got
to the tap top of the ladder as Stephen
Covey would say and find out that the
ladder was leaning against the wrong
wall so that I've talked to so many
people that were accomplished and
successful at what they did and they
going yeah I was good at it and so I
decided to do it but it wow it has
absolutely nothing to do with why I'm
here yeah so the first thing is say just
because you're good at something doesn't
mean that's something that you need to
step into you know it will be used
everything's used yes okay skill it'll
be used in what you're meant to step
into it doesn't mean that's the thing in
that acceptance so even though we go the
wrong direction even though we are in
there may be a place of the wilderness
or we will willingly do it or we
accidentally do it in the end you
believe that it's used for your greater
good those years that you went down this
path of pursuing this this thing that
didn't pay off and and really in the end
it looks totally different than
than what you're called - there's
something that we we learn in that right
there's something that we learn to value
in that whether it's people skills
whether it's a level of gratitude or
what not to do again I think that's a
big one we can over it's a lot of people
like to overlook what not to do that led
me down the wrong road like I think that
those those things that we learn are
priceless because once you reach a
certain level you don't you got a you
know you don't want to mess it up you
don't want to go down the right that you
I'm saying the wrong road once you've
spent years building something I feel
like this it's a testing thing and I
feel like it's it's mapped out what
we're talking about the creator or the
one who sent you mapped out this life
even you know even the mistakes you know
even that the things that we have to
learn from that that the only way we'll
get it is to experience it and to do it
whether it took you three months or
three years to go down or turn your back
on your calling or whatever to find out
like hey this is what I really want and
I'm gonna pursue it and I'm gonna make
sure that I do it because like the the
character traits that are imparted by
going through these testings and stuff
you know what you wouldn't want to have
like this setup like this my experience
a platform like this where there's a lot
of people listening hanging on to the
words that you say they take your words
of advice you wouldn't want to have a
big platform like this and start giving
out bad advice or stuff that's going to
hurt people that years ago you thought
was legit or you thought was the truth I
think that with with bigger platforms
comes a greater level of responsibility
and that those who are who are trusted
with much there's a lot riding on it and
so I'm thankful for going down those
paths or whatever that almost seemed
like dead ends at the time but I've been
able to to hold on to something to you
know to bring to where I am today to
learn
what not to do even as much as what to
do yeah so what I would say about that
is you pointed out to holding on to a
question of why and what you know as if
it's not an accident that I'm here and
there's something so the point of that
being that it's not just by default that
if you go off paths it'll all be used
for good so one of the ways I talk about
that is maybe the distinction between
destiny and fate destiny it has to do
with why are you here but it won't
happen by default it's a decision you
make every day to show up to your
destiny and if you choose not to show up
to your destiny then you'll live fate
and sometimes it works out for people
you
the thing about fate though is like your
cork on the river and the river will
take you where it takes you and you know
for many people being a cork on the
river and just kind of going with the
flows quote-unquote works out pretty
well
for them until it doesn't you know the
thing about being a cork on the river is
you might be enjoying the scenery and
then around the next bend of the river
you get caught up in a backwash and your
life is now just going around and around
and it's going nowhere and the thing
about faith where you make a choice
about showing up to that question that
inquiry day by day means that it's like
you're not a cork on the river you're in
a boat and you've got some orders and
your intention and this thing we've been
given called choice you know it's like
sometimes we only understand the gift of
choice when we see what happens when
we're not choosing so you know that yes
if you show up every day to the question
of why am I here was I called me to do
Who am I called to become if I'm showing
up to the question I make might be doing
things that didn't take me where I
thought they would go I might make a
quote/unquote mistake
and if I still stay present like you
said hold on to the question I will get
guided back in in physics there's this
thing called the basin of Attraction
there's this and they also have a thing
called the Great Attractor so in the
basin of Attraction called forth by the
Great Attractor you could say that
there's a magnetism and a pole you know
that comes both from the one that sent
you in the conversation you're having
with that Great Attractor and the
magnetism of your life mission and yes
you might go up the sides and a little
bit off track but if you hold your
attention on your intention the
attention is the life force the
intention is the blueprint if you bring
your life force the attention to the
intention to embody your reason for
being here you can go up the sides of
that wall a few times but you'll get all
back to the center of that Basin that's
pulling you toward eventually you will
step into your why you're here it's
inevitable but only if you choose to
keep showing up to it it won't happen by
default I think I think part of the the
choosing to step into it and taking
whatever steps they are using everything
as a stepping stone for your destiny
which you know we learn from our own
mistakes we have to learn from our
mistakes if we're if we're not going to
repeat them especially once you you
reach a certain level if you're in the
goal you don't want to if you've spent
time self sabotaging like once you're in
what you're supposed to be doing you
don't want to self-sabotage if you if
you learn you know what runs people off
you don't want to do that once you're in
what what you're trying to build or
whatever your calling is so one thing is
about learning from your mistakes but I
also find this bigger picture it's being
able to learn from the mistakes of
others especially if we're trying to
study an art you know that's what that's
one thing if it's an art or it's a let's
say podcast for instance find out what
other people are doing on the podcast
what's working for
them to make them successful see if it
applies to you if you can apply to what
you're doing and see what's you know why
they aren't successful like a lot of
times you can look at people and be able
to tell that they have character flaws
and okay they keep doing this once they
reach a certain level of fame or
notoriety then then they run everybody
off or they self-sabotage and then they
disappear for six months and they don't
put out any music or they don't put out
any material or content and that's a
form of self-sabotage as well if not not
creating something or bringing something
to the table you learn what you're
supposed to do by the by watching the
mistakes of others and so I mean I'm
able to avoid a lot of pitfalls that I
didn't have to experience firsthand I
got to see the fruit and what happens if
you do that on a public level or on a
personal level if you indulge and would
and if we can apply this to everything
but be able to look at somebody else's
mistakes and learn from it and so can
let me write that down never do that
because this is what happens when I
watched my friend I watched my brother i
watch this other person they all did it
and this was what happened to them you
know if I could I'd like to have a
distinction no okay no you notice
earlier way we're talking about people
would come reach the top of the ladder
find it's leaning against the wrong wall
they might become very successful at
something and they may have nothing to
do with why they're here so the
distinction about learning from your
mistakes for this conversation might be
helpful that there's the question of
just becoming successful and if you're
learning from your mistakes you might
become very successful if you've lost
track of the conversation of why am I
here and what's it for
what's it in service to you might learn
from your mistakes and become very
successful at something that has nothing
to do with why you're here
so I limit so for this conversation I
would say it would be important to say
if I'm learning from my mistakes one of
the questions is was my mistake I lost
track of my why that would be one of the
things you know the thing where somebody
seems to like be going entirely in the
wrong direction and actually sabotaging
everything they built might mean they
lost track of why they were doing it the
other thing is okay if I'm going to
learn from this mistake or this
quote-unquote failure if I start with
what does that got to do with why I'm
here
then the what you learn from your
mistake will help you get closer to
while you're here and stepping into it
so I just wanted to make the distinction
that just learning from your mistakes
doesn't necessarily take you towards
your life's mission unless you just
you're in that inquiry yeah definitely
yeah because you can learn from your
mistakes and but you could be on the
wrong path you know I think if you just
cut on the wrong path if you just
deviate a little bit like if I think I
think that there's this balance and and
for me it's even with what the scripture
talks about the narrow road you know I
don't think it's too far left or too far
right but it's that balance in the
middle of what you're supposed to be
doing and not getting off any but
veering just a little bit and you go and
you walk down that path a couple miles
you're gonna be off you're gonna be
waste like way off path once you veer
whether it's veering because of the
opinions of men and what other people
suggest you do or other people's
opinions of you or whatever it can it
can throw you off your life path and
like I said for me it's about being
consistent and it's not like I think the
why is big like you're talking about
because if we're I've seen I've seen
from firsthand experience and where my
my purpose or whatever I'm building
shifts because of others because someone
told told me no you can't do it and
that's okay one month I'm gonna prove to
you that I can I could do anything I put
my mind to and I go about you know
taking those steps to do that and it's
not what you
to be doing your and you're becoming
successful with it I we talked about you
know the mind being so powerful that we
can do anything that we put our mind to
that's why the scripture says to renew
your mind daily make sure you have the
right thoughts and the right intentions
at heart and so we can go down this path
like we're talking for years and and
brand something make business contracts
and deals and bring all these other
people into something that I think deep
down you know you weren't supposed to be
in to begin with it's successful it may
be something good but deep down you know
that you're not supposed to be doing it
and therefore that there's a picture as
well I like to see within the story of
Jonah how Jonah is kind of in this this
thing where he's like a running from God
he knows what he's supposed to be doing
but he's got his own thing that he wants
to do so he's in this tug of war with
God of what he's doing so he runs he
gets on this boat and he's running from
God and the the winds and the waves and
the storms come because God's chastising
and God's chasing them we don't want you
know he can't run from him so these
people on this boat are about the boats
about the sink because this guy is on
the boat so this guy's actions are
affecting everybody's life that is
around him and he's bringing all types
of calamity on these people because he
is running from God or running from that
purpose you know and so I think that's
what a lot of times people do we go down
these roads and we think that we're okay
you know that but we're finding out that
it's not just us that there's a lot of
other people who are left in the wake of
our mistakes of running from God or
running from our purpose or trying to
create a new purpose I think a lot of
people do it because they're scared of
the purpose they're scared of the
mission or the vision it's too big and
and and they seem too small and it seems
so far away so I can't obtain that so
let me obtain a smaller version of it
that seems obtainable I think that's a
big reason why people try to run
you know sure and if you are aware that
you're in the conversation with the one
that sent you and you actually you
actually have a conviction let's say
your belief that that divine intent has
your best interest in mind and let's say
that your local self or itself
lowercase s sees that as something scary
then you might you might ask yourself if
the one that sent you has your best
interest in mind it will unfold at the
rate that you're capable of being
present to it
that's one thing and then there is this
thing that it kind of it speaks to why
you were talking about in it in a more
general way from the from Proverbs the
book of wisdom you know train up a child
in the way he should go and when you
sold their evil not depart from it that
is maybe not the best translation you
know that train comes from the Hebrew
for mid where for you which means create
an environment for light the Khans work
like right after the child is born
clearing the cowl in the mouth so the
child can breathe so if you if you let's
say we're to have a Morgan accurate
translation of what the actual original
Hebrew said it would be not that the
parent is supposed to tell the child
what they're supposed to do and they
won't depart from it what it actually
says is create an environment for life
according to your child's gift or bent
and when he or she is older he or she
will not depart from it so that's great
advice for a parent create an
environment for life for your child
which means again it isn't necessarily
your job to understand your child or
tell your child what they should do with
your life it might be more you help them
find the mentors that are correct for
them I do understand them in other words
create an environment for life so that's
great instruction for a parent for a
child but what about our if you're
already in a
you could say this thing that you might
go off and do in resistance to what
you're called to do or maybe you do
you're kind of sort of doing it and kind
of sort of not but you're not sure if
you ask yourself the question if you
were parenting yourself and the object
was to create an environment for life
are you experiencing this is creating a
lot you know do you feel alive in this
are you creating life for other people
in this that's the first part of that
and the second part of around the
mission pieces are you creating
environment for life within your gift or
belt like in other words I was designed
in a certain way my gift or Ben I was
designed with a certain predisposition
it's not an accident but I'm fascinated
by what I'm fascinated by and motivated
by what I'm motivated by you know that I
that I seem to have these talents and
gifts that's not if you say this out in
accident that's your gift or bent then
how are you meant to create an
environment for life
with your gift or Bend so then you know
this thing where I'm all off doing
something because you know maybe my
shadow resistance comfort zone fear
whatever has me resisting what my heart
knows I'm being called to because it
seems too big or it seems like it's too
much work or whatever the resistance
program might be if you start with the
question is this an environment for life
for me is this an environment and for a
life for the world as there is this
creating a better place for my having
been here you know Richard balls in is
what color is your parachute talking
about mission set the three life
missions remember the one that sent you
make the world a better place for having
been here and do the thing you most love
to do in the way you most love to do it
with the people you most love to do it
with and the way the world most needs is
done so that would mean if you were
doing all that you'd be in creating an
environment for life for yourself and
for the people around you and you'll be
doing that according to your gifts your
beds it's a lot different for us because
that comes a lot later it would be
awesome if we
we were trained up in a way that we
should go and then you know when we're
older we have skills that we can you
know that that were imparted to us and
instilled in us to to find our life's
calling and life and what if as a child
yeah you end up in an environment for
life for you and that's part of the
discussion like why is it that we wait
over an adult to have these
conversations if we had these
conversations ongoing if it's true that
we knew at seven why don't we
why wouldn't we stop talking our
children out of that why wouldn't we
train people up create an environment
for life according to their gift event
you know that wouldn't have to go
through the forgetting and then
remembering yes I you wouldn't have
people going to college spending
anywhere from a hundred to two hundred
thousand dollars these days to get a
degree in something I was never sure I
wanted to do anyway like wouldn't it
make just fiscal sense to have this
conversation through secondary school
you know through grade school and
secondary school so that when you moved
on whether you moved into college or
occupational training or just life now
whatever you decided to do it would be
from your gift or bent and you'd be
clear about it and you know why and you
wouldn't be wasting a hundred to two
hundred thousand dollars getting an
education that was for nothing having to
anything to do with while you're here so
as we're growing up this conversation
might even be more important
it's about recapturing the dream
remembering the dream
if I look back at my childhood I was
definitely a class clown one who loved
to see people smile loved to entertain
people I can look back and and and
that's essentially what I'm doing I love
to entertain people I love to see people
smile and and bring healing through
laughter you know what I'm saying all of
those things I knew you know much like
you a piece of what I wanted to do
whether it was to be on stage is in
front of people do music all of these
things I loved it as a kid and and
there's a lot of
who are doing it and or who have felt
that way but when the world talks them
out of it or you have to you know give
it up I could tell you man it's just
weird hurt essentially to see people who
are you know even even much older in
life who have given you know twenty
thirty years to a company you know and
but to see but they're almost just
lightly living by default like they
didn't choose that they're just like
randomly got this job but if they're
okay with it that's another story you
know what I'm saying if they if they're
okay with it like if they feel like if
they don't have that inward cage you
know feeling like they're in a cage or
they're trapped or I wish I could've did
this with what was life or have these
regrets then I think it's okay but um
but I see I see so many people I feel
like they're living by the fault and
they've given up on the dream you know
one thing I might say about that is it's
never too early and it's never too late
I mean it would be great to talk to
children about why they're here and so
you know I had a client who was in her
90s she had been aim of a nursing school
retired from being a Dean of the nursing
school she's 19
so he's a like so you did this thing it
was very fulfilling and now what you're
90 what you should just I don't know do
embroidery and play golf or something
you know so we have the conversation she
wound up then exploring her calling to
be an author and she started writing
books yeah so it's ever too early and
it's never too late and then the other
part of that is your life mission isn't
necessarily a job you know like I've
always said that you can find a way to
make it a job you can find a way to make
a living doing it but it's not a
requirement there are a number of people
who are stepping into their life mission
as a vocation they have a day job they
do that 40 hours a week and then when
they're not at that day job they are
doing their life mission so it you know
if you're not
let's say if you haven't been found a
way to make your pet your reason for
being here your passion your calling a
job you know it doesn't mean that you
can't express it you know so just to say
that your life mission isn't necessarily
a job and with a little bit of
creativity staying in the conversation
being willing to be present to the
guidance I have yet to find somebody's
life mission that couldn't be trance
transitioned into a way to make a living
doing it that's a big thing for a lot of
people there's many different places we
can go with that and I'm coming from
like the religious standpoint man where
there's like a lot of people who there's
a guilt there like there's a guilt with
being successful there's a guilt of
making money doing something that you
love to do or doing anything spiritual
but at that you know there's a guilt
that comes with it there's this notion
of Jesus and the prophets and it's even
in a lot of other religions but they
talk about the suffering servant you
know you have to do without so that
proves how spiritual you are or your
devotion of God that you or even like
you know the Gnostic understanding that
you'll do without so that you know you
could be more in enlightenment
enlightened in things like that so I'm
seeing so many people and and seeing
them wrestle with it and I've had to do
it you know because we said we see the
abuse of it you know we see we see all
that and so people are trying to come
out of that of being okay to make a
living doing something that's not a
regular occupation that's nine-to-five
whether it's I have friends who are
spiritual healers you know they charge
for sessions and stuff they make a
living doing what they love to do and
doing what they feel like their life's
mission is you know that's a big thing
for a lot of people to get over we're in
a place now with the Internet it allows
us to explore ways to actually make
money doing what we love and in
presenting
a service that didn't exist or a service
that people enjoy and they're willing to
pay for that that's a big thing with
people trying to walk in their life's
goal especially in like the spiritual
community or or like the religious
community at that have you experienced
anything like that or dealt with clients
who felt wrong because it was too easy
like it doesn't feel like work like you
know work means you have to not like it
you know what I'm saying like that that
type of deal you have to be stuck in the
cage so you know the work the English
word work comes from the same word as
allergy hmm we have a very strange sort
of relationship to this thing we call
work like career comes from the
racetrack dog racing track which means
to careen around the track work comes
from the same root as allergy or working
against and occupation is a military
term the only thing that resembles let's
say something that our heart could
connect to around this thing is you know
possibly the word vocation and opus opus
is a musical term that talks about a
body of work over a lifetime with the
sacred intent so there's that so it
might be helpful to remember most of the
patriarchs we're wealthy men you know so
it wasn't that money is evil it's the
love of money that is Saturday being
successful isn't a sin you might ask
yourself what's it for though so it's
you know are you in love with the money
or you know my question in life is I
really don't have a thing about how much
money I just want to know that as spirit
says do this I can do it that I'm that
thankfully I'm not in a place where I
have to check my checkbook is like okay
spirit I know you said you want me to do
this thing but let me check my checkbook
and I'll get back to you so my thing is
like it doesn't really matter to me how
much or how little is
long-ass wind spirit asked me to do
something I can just say yes mm-hmm and
it seems to work out that way I get
enough money to always be able to say
yes so you know maybe Bill Gates who now
is greatly involved in philanthropy
needed to make the billions he needed so
that he can go to other places in the
world and do the good things he's doing
that was between him and God yeah spirit
so you know like the question of is it
wrong to be successful most again the
patriarchs were wealthy men you know
they God didn't say to the patriarchs
you need to give away everything to do
this you know maybe they were asked to
be willing to and sometimes spirit ask
you to be willing to give up everything
and if you say yeah I'm willing often
you don't after death of the heart yeah
so no it's not a it you know even the
word suffering the word suffering means
to go through or to move through and the
problem most people have is they suffer
over their suffering suffering you know
to go through means I'm not supposed to
get stuck on this problem I'm having
right now and if I'm not suffering over
my suffering well how can I use this to
maybe not spend my whole life in the
suffering place you know like and I
don't say that in a Cavalier way because
you know obviously there are people in
this world who are no fault of their own
find themself in circumstances which you
know you say lift yourself up by your
own bootstraps well they don't have a
boot strap to lift themselves up by they
do have a conversation with spirit
though in yeah and so the question is
between them and spirit what does spirit
asking you to do with us so I'm that
kind of Lear about this I'm just saying
that it's not some crime to be
successful you know and it's not and the
real question is again it always comes
back to why
and what's it for why am I here and if
I'm going to be successful and I think
that if you're going to have consequence
in the world it's helpful you know to be
masterful at what you're called to do so
that you can have the influence you were
meant to so that's what I would say
about that yeah that's it that's a big
one I think people have to get a new
relationship with with with money with
income with with success and and I think
it comes with what we've kind of been
talking about the whole self sabotage
thing when money gets involved or it
becomes successful they get scared they
they run when money's involved and then
it gets into what we also talked about
the opinions of men and other people's
opinions of you making money or whatever
the case says and it gets into this
weird circle of I don't know just
spinning spinning your tires you know
it's personal conversation for everyone
yeah honey is life force what are you
gonna do with that and the only relevant
question is between myself and the one
that sent me only I can really know yeah
what's my why
what's your emote oh my god what's this
in-service dude and as long as I'm clear
about my intention make it people can
say what they say cause people are gonna
always do that yeah the question is are
you clear about your intention what's
your why yeah yeah that's good so Daniel
I appreciate you coming on with me if
you want to plug some of your books
because everything that we've been
talking about today you've got a couple
books that kind of map out practice on
how to do this how to state how to stay
mindful and how to recapture that goal

that the two most important
days in a person's life is the day that
they were born and the day that they
find out why they were born why are you
here which is what we've been talking
about finally got why you're here like I
said people walking around aimlessly
they don't know why they're here
they're still looking for their life
purpose or even on into adulthood man
people are just living by default and
and that sucks that's that's that's hell
that really is of just existing and not
even not not having any purpose or any
vision man the scripture says that where
there is no vision the people perish
that you have to have vision and it's
important have something to work towards
and then it becomes about the journey
about how to actually get there how to
achieve those goals how to find your
bliss and and and make the life that
create the life that you want for
yourself you get with God you get with
the Holy Spirit you don't work against
your Divine Will for your life and
that's what a lot of people are doing
they're working against God and I do
think that we learn from from our
mistakes I believe that if we go you
know down the wrong road we have to be
careful but there's always something to
learn I don't think that it was for
naught I think that each path that we've
went down if if the even if the end goal
is the only thing you get out of it is
to not do that again
right there I'm telling you man like
years ago
having a platform my platform was a lot
smaller and for good reason you know
what I'm saying is for good reason so I
look at everything as preparation to get
us where we're going and I think I'm
there I'm in my life's mission I'm
having fun encouraging people inspiring
people
but trust me years ago with having this
this much of a reach I was not the most
loving person I was not the most
spiritual person I still I'm a regular
person right it's not like all
spirituality all the time but you learn
what to do and what not to do you learn
to treat others the way that you want to
be treated and into you know what you
put out it's gonna come back so I
understand that that Carmen I understand
that you reap what you sow and so that's
why I want to put out good things into
the earths that's why I want to speak
out blessings into the atmosphere
because I want it to come back seven
fold greater pressed down and shaken
stronger man you know and I believe that
that's that's universal law that
whatever you plant whatever you put put
out there it's gonna come back whatever
you water it's gonna come back it's
gonna grow so whatever you're putting
out be conscious of it and in that I
think that's what starts of being
conscious it's talking about having that
conversation with the one who sent you
having that inner dialogue with yourself
I mean I've references throughout my
music for years and even referencing the
work of Michael caesarean of how you
know having that entered in a dialogue
with the self do you wake up and talk to
yourself you know what I'm saying and
and all of the greats all of the
patriarchs they all did that they all
had that inward dialogue going on so
that's what it's about creating the life
that you want for yourself and you know
I'm telling man it's just like getting
past the suffering servant of God you
know it's a it's a Gnostic belief it
really is that God doesn't want you to
enjoy life God doesn't want you to
prosper like holidays weird what we
would call ungodly beliefs that are
hindering people and holding them back
thinking that God is against them or God
is mad when they're happy and God
doesn't want them rich all of these
weird weird things so I'll just want
everybody know tune in in the live
stream I disabled the the super chat
feature super chats this YouTube button
that allows people to donate just with
the click of a button and it would it
would read in the live stream whatever
you donate it but YouTube takes 30% of
those donations I just find out how much
YouTube takes and that's crazy so I did
definitely didn't want to promote that
so if anybody who wants to give during
the live stream and have your message
read out you can actually give via the
link in the description to on the stream
lab so it'll read out your questions and
comments and all of that kind of stuff
so feel feel free to do that if you
would like I had to get rid of super
chat just they take way too much money
so yeah one up say I yeah Kristi says
30% what yeah it's insane
so patreon is good the the best way to
give and to donate is through patreon
but to have it read out in the streams
just click that link in the description
to do it it'll just pull up a quick pop
up and it'll read out your message and
all that cool stuff so yeah I want to
say thank you for that anybody who wants
to look at the stream schedule I'm
trying to go live Tuesdays and Thursdays
at 10:00 a.m. central so that's what I'm
trying to do some people's time zone
doesn't really match up and it's a lot
earlier where they also I have to do
some a little bit later like this one
today so if you want to look at this
stream schedule and some of the guests
that I have lined up just go to
truth-seeker calm and you could check it
out there I was able to get get caught
up on a bunch of podcasts here in the
last week we was people were sending in
donations so that we can get caught up
on the the server so I can pay for the
for the extra shows to get caught up I'm
still a couple episodes behind but I'm
trying to get those rolled out as well
to be caught up so eventually probably
put out the episodes the day after they
air I think that's going to be the best
thing to do
or if not the same day so I'm getting
caught up I've only got just a couple
behind me so that it's gonna be caught
up very soon and I'll probably put one
out tonight and yeah so that you're not
listening to a podcast that aired a
month ago on the on the podcast end
because I know that could be crazy
especially we found that talking about
the the album release party and stuff
like that hey we got an album release
party coming up Friday and you listening
to that on the podcast and that that
Friday was three weeks ago so that's
what it's about
just getting caught up so that
everything that we're talking about is
relevant and so yeah I got pushed behind
a little bit on the whole album release
stuff coming up I had a that took up a
lot of attention so that's what that is
so yeah I got some awesome guests lined
up here within the next couple weeks and
going to continue to to go live on
YouTube and bring out content man
there's a bunch of stuff that we're
doing like I said that this consistency
is key at the end of the day whatever
we'll bring it to the table it's about
being consistent and showing up so bunch
of shows lined up for the net I got like
a month of shows planned already so all
that gets tougher anybody would like to
support what I'm doing there's a
