Imagine being born on a Sunday morning in Oakland California
Of all the ways you can come into this world the most difficult way is called a footlink breach and it’s how I entered this game
My childhood was a combination of spiritual adventures meditation healing and learning how to live in misery and poverty
The combination taught me that you can be as miserable as you choose to be and it’s interesting when you continuously choose more misery more poverty and your solution becomes avoidance
There are many ways to avoid things. You can constantly change the subject you can hum you can make sounds that talk over the person in a way where they can’t be heard you can constantly make jokes you can find any way of avoiding the issues so that you don’t have to actually find a resolution to it
What happens is if you evolve enough times with experiences that are painful you can learn how to automatically avoid everything until you come to a point in life where the entire world is encouraged to live and avoidance all day long
The challenge with modern Life is that reality creeps in constantly and the only way to keep it at Bay is to have something distracting you every waking moment
One of the easiest ways to do that is to have an online community that’s constantly wanting you to check your Facebook LinkedIn Instagram Pinterest Yelp Google or any number of social media platforms every couple seconds
The nice thing about having a screen in front of your face all day long is it it will constantly give you something to click on next and then next and then next and then next and then next..
What this leads to is a total addiction to having a screen in front of your 24 hours a day which will eventually lead to not being able to sleep anymore and wanting to wake up and check your screen
The advantage of this is that it will seem like you’re doing what you’re supposed to be doing and everybody around you is doing it so why not me
It becomes a great way to avoid having to get clear on your values having to know your purpose and ultimately it prevents you from having a vision of what you actually want in your life so that you never have to have it
The only challenge with this life strategy is that it will eventually lead to a point where you can no longer do it
It will take the form of failure in school failure and finances failure in business failure and relationships failure and family and will ultimately add up to your life failing
For most people they are able to do this for at least 20 years some people can do it for 30 years but eventually when people crash they are left with two major paths to choose from
One pass leads to I can’t take it there’s no way out there’s no hope it’s never going to get better and the only possibility is to end my life right now
Unfortunately many teenagers and young people have had to face this and the way you can tell is by visiting their gravestones
The other path is realizing that there’s an infinite set of choices in front of you at any given moment and almost all of them will be better than what you’re currently doing
It can look like closing your eyes for 10 minutes it can look like getting up and getting a drink of water it can look like going outside for a walk it can even be as crazy as writing down your life goals and actually living them
In my journey I came to a place where the suicide option didn’t seem as appealing as it once did because I had to actually think about what it would really do to everyone who loved me so I chose the second road and it has made all the difference
The neat thing about waking up to your actual values and realizing what you love most and what your best at and what’s really needed from you and why you haven’t been doing it tends to lead to the same thing over and over which is it will give you a map of all your fears
One of the most powerful exercises anyone can do is to sit down with a piece of paper and write down all your smallest fears at the bottom that you would love to transform but are scared too
Then work your way up to piece of paper to more and more terrifying things until at the top of the paper you write down something that’s so terrifying it’s almost impossible to even write it
We have invented a game where you take the top three fears of your pyramid and draw them into a cartoon so that they’re easy to deal with and allows you to transform them because once you do the next fear is become easier and easier and easier
Pretty soon things that were holding you back like publishing your book setting up your gaming tournament moving to a new country starting a new career or any other major change of life becomes no big deal
it becomes almost a habit to look at all the things in your life and see which ones are scaring you the most and start with them
In my book transform fear into fun I show you a thousand and one ways where you can take any fear you’ve got and turn it into a game
It can be the game of I really don’t know how to eat a healthy diet into how many vegetables can I put in my cake
It can look like I’m so scared to play chess online that I can’t even set up an account into hey I just joined a chess school and it’s my favorite hour of the week
It can look like I’m so scared of catching fish and killing them that I don’t even buy a fishing pole to now I say prayers for the fish all day long and see which one wants to give its life so that my family can live a full life with the fishes blessing
It can look like I’m so scared to drive a car that I can’t even turn it on to wow this is the most fun I’ve had it driving class this week I wish I could have more time to do it but the teacher only lets me have 2 hours a week
it can look like I’m so terrified of the outside world that I lay in my bed all day and stare at a screen to wow this is so cool having an Apple watch that I can have my screen with me anytime anywhere no matter what I’m doing did I even carry it up to the top of Mount Everest or on my paraglider

It can look like I have such a deep fear of ever asking for what I want that I won’t even talk when I’m in a room to wow hey everybody did you hear the one about,,,
It can look like I love watching humor and comedy on YouTube but would never want anyone to see my jokes because I’m not funny to check out the top 5000 best jokes of all time
It can look like I do not know how to move to a new City without feeling terrified to wow I’ve moved to 12 different places in the last year become a millionaire at all of them and now have taught teenagers how to break through anything in their life including pandemics
It can look like I’m so terrified of cancer and so worried about getting sick that I create myself having cancer to wow I had pancreatic cancer I had lymphoma I had the most deadly cancers known to man and I still managed to heal them and have no trace of cancer in my body whatsoever anymore
It can look like I used to play basketball and Frisbee and soccer and all the sports when I was a kid but as soon as I got into academics I lost my ability to have fun because all I can think about now is how to work harder study more and become more miserable to hey I remember how to study the way you study is by making sure that your physical mental emotional and spiritual or going so well that your day is spent learning 24 hours a day no matter what you’re doing
It can look like I’m so afraid of making money that I won’t even let myself make 10 cents an hour on anything to hey guys do you remember how you were asking me about this stuff and you wanted the solutions to it well guess what here’s the solutions to all of it and then some and it only cost you $18 a month to subscribe
It can look like I have spent so much of my life being terrified of my parents fighting that I don’t ever want to express myself in any group ever to hey would you like to learn how to be a keynote speaker and make $1,000 a minute on a stage anywhere in the world
It can look like I have no idea what to do with my life and don’t want to look at it because it’s too terrifying to wow I actually have a life binder that’s digital and on paper and I can exactly see what I need to do at any given moment of my life no matter what’s happening
The one thing I want you to get most for my teachings is that all of these transformations can take exactly as long as you want them to take
You can waste years and years more hiding waiting hoping your life changes or you can get busy looking in the mirror right now and being grateful for who you are already
You can keep pretending that everything in life is fine that you’re three out of 10 score is just right it’s who you are and who you’re meant to be or you can remember that you’re a 10 and get busy being it
You can spend your life wishing you had a life or you can get really busy being grateful at the life that you have right now
You can do anything you want that you’re willing to pay the price for so ask yourself right now what price am I willing to pay
You can spend your life dreaming and hoping and wishing and wind up with the really cool fantasy and no results or you can sit down and examine the results you’ve already gotten and realized how you did it because you can obviously do it again
You can wish your life for better or you can wish that you were honest about who you really are so that it can be better right now
No matter what you decide I wish you health happiness and wisdom for the rest of your life
If you would like to benefit from some of the value that you got in here why not take a moment and pretend it’s your last day on Earth and have your hundred year old self write down everything it knows about life and give it to you right now
One of the gifts I can give you right now is the vision of an eagle it was said that a great chief from North America called crazy horse said there’s only one thing in life that really matters and it’s seeking your vision as much as an eagle seeks the deep blue of the sky
For those of you who don’t understand my metaphor the idea is that the only thing that matters in your life is that you follow your true vision of what you really are here to do and it’s all you ever do
There’s an old saying from American history of one of the founding people in the declaration of Independence and he said there’s lots and lots of choices in life but let me simplify it for you give me liberty or give me death
Life doesn’t always have to be that black and white though there’s actually millions and millions of shades of Gray the reason we use these extreme examples is cuz they show the polarities
A truly happy life is not black or white it’s not yes or no it’s not male or female it’s not rich or poor it’s where’s the center in all of it
Look at almost everything in your life and see when it goes to the extreme how pleasant it is notice that quite often the happiest moments in life are when you’re just relaxing in the middle
