Hello beautiful humans,
My name is Darius and I want to talk to you about being wrong.
What?
Nobody wants to talk about being wrong.
I get it.
You've been told by society,
By our families,
By the world that you never want to talk about being wrong.
But there is a segment.
Of moments when we were wrong.
That are absolute gifts,
They're blessings.
There are moments in all of our lives where that voice in our head is like,
Don't do this thing.
This isn't going to work out.
This is a bad idea.
People are going to laugh.
People are going to mock you.
They're not going to come.
They're not going to care.
You know what I'm talking about.
Resistance is trying to convince you to abort the mission.
And all of us have experienced it.
And it's an incredibly empowering.
Experience to slow down.
And remind ourselves that we were wrong.
The thing worked out.
The people showed up.
The project launched.
Instead,
That voice either gets us to quit,
Or that voice.
Depletes us and we do the thing and we exert more energy than we need to and then we just move on to the next thing The Invitation that I want to bring to you is this.
Take a moment to track and document.
That that voice that was absolutely certain that the thing wasn't going to work out.
Was raw.
Let me give you a real life example.
This has happened so many times in my life.
I create something.
And that voice comes in and says.
There is nobody cares.
This is so silly.
It's so simple.
People are gonna like laugh.
Because the thing you're teaching them,
They already know.
It's already been done.
And I get really,
Really close to quitting.
And I've probably quit many times because that voice was so convincing.
A bunch of times,
I just kept going.
And I got to the other side.
Of the creation and that voice was incredibly wrong.
Here is a real life example.
Recently I made a video on insight timer about energy force fields.
Maybe you've seen it.
It's really playful.
It's really fun.
It's really simple and it's really effective.
I get people to push a button here,
There's a button here in case you didn't know.
Energy force field.
Watch the video if you want to learn about that.
But in my head,
I'm like,
This is a terrible idea or not my whole head,
That one part of my head resistance.
This is such a bad idea,
Darius.
They're going to kick you off of the app.
They're going to kick you off of the platform.
They're going to kick you off of the Internet.
Resistance is not logical.
It is.
Catastrophic in its thinking and needs to do whatever it can to prevent you from moving forward.
And I was like.
.
.
All right,
Worst case scenario,
This one video flops.
I'm just going to share it and put it out there.
But that voice was really convinced it wasn't going to work.
And it really did.
Insight Timer featured it.
Thousands of people participated in it hundreds of comments and the reason I'm sharing that is it's a perfect example of Almost quitting something that was honest and true to me and of service to my community.
I really do believe so many people quit.
Right before something interesting is about to happen.
And a part of that is because resistance wins.
And so the invitation again here.
Is to track and document when that voice was wrong.
When the thing worked out.
When the project launched.
Remember that that voice,
Despite its best efforts and its most convincing tone,
Is wrong.
And that being wrong is a gift.
A blessing.
Because it gives us energy and momentum.
Push forward into the next thing and when that voice shows up we say Thank you,
But no thank you.
Okay,
That's my video.
Thanks for listening.
My name is Darius,
And I will see you next time.
