1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:06,680 Speaker 1: Decisions may not always be easy, but they can be powerful. Remember, 2 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:11,159 Speaker 1: not making a decision is a decision of itself, and 3 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: when you are faced with the problem of making a decision, 4 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: first realize that, then come to terms with the notion 5 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,480 Speaker 1: that any decision at that point is going to be 6 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 1: better than no decision at all. Hey, Handler's Emily a 7 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,200 Speaker 1: body popping in for a new installment of Hurdle Moment 8 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: before we get going here, I feel like I need 9 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 1: to thank you this week, maybe more than any week ever. 10 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: I feel like so many hurdlers, so many people listening 11 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: into the podcast, are reaching out and share sharing their 12 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: stories with me, showing me their gratitude, and I just 13 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: want you to know how much I appreciate it. It 14 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: feels extra special, just because right now there is so 15 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: much going on. Life feels chaotic and out of our 16 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 1: control in a lot of ways. 17 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 2: And for a while I was convinced that it would 18 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 2: be hard to do. 19 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: Much of anything while things weren't how I hoped they 20 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: would be. After a few weeks that mentality, to be 21 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: real with you, it started to get old and stale, 22 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,199 Speaker 1: and I knew that sitting here in my fourth floor 23 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: New York City apartment and just thinking things should be 24 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 1: or could be or whatever that wasn't going to get 25 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 1: me anywhere. To an extent, I just got really tired 26 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: of my own bullshit. Notice that this episode is marked explicit, 27 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: But yeah, I woke up a couple of weeks ago 28 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: and just said, screw that, Like, why am I wasting 29 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,559 Speaker 1: so much of my energy being frustrated with how things 30 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: could be or should be. 31 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 2: If that's not how they actually are? I know it. 32 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 2: I am better than that. I am, and so are you. 33 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 1: Let's be real that way of thinking it won't get 34 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: any of us anywhere. For us to be better, for 35 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: us to make positive change, it often starts with this moment, right, 36 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: this moment of realization what I affectionately call, as you know, 37 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: a hurdle moment. Some hurdle moments are a tad more 38 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: on the life changing spectrum than others, but each of 39 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: them happens so that we can be better.

It is so 66 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: easy to make excuses period. A lot of the time 67 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: we make excuses because it's a lot easier not to 68 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 1: do something sometimes than it is to actually execute. Before 69 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: we can stop making excuses, it's important for us to 70 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: understand why we are making them in the first place. 71 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: More likely than not, we are afraid of change, of 72 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 1: trying something new. We like to do things that are 73 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 1: inside of our comfort zone. But you all know the 74 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: saying that growth doesn't happen when you stay inside of 75 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: those imaginary lines. When you stay inside of that comfort zone, 76 00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: it's also easy to make excuses, especially when you're comparing 77 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: your situation to that of others. Which, don't get me wrong, 78 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: it's inevitable at times, but in the long run, you 79 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: cannot let what other people are doing prevent you from 80 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: reaching from the things that make you truly happy, from 81 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: the things. 82 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 2: That you really want. 83 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: You know, I was on a call with a graduating 84 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: senior today named Luke. A friend of a friend asked 85 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 1: if I would chat with him about my career as 86 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: a journalist, and he told me that he wants to 87 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: go in to broadcast journalism and he has a specific 88 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: interest in sports broadcasting, and so of course I asked 89 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 1: him naturally if he thought about starting a podcast. That's 90 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: a really great way to get your voice out there, 91 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: to start doing something that could give him some familiarity 92 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: with the field and something that future employers might be 93 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: able to check out. He said to me, well, it's 94 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: just so saturated, like there are so many people that 95 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: are making sports podcasts. And I kind of stopped him 96 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: there because I said, listen, this is applicable to Luke, 97 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: and it's probably applicable to. 98 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 2: You as well. 99 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: There may be a lot of people doing whatever it 100 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: is that you want to do, but there is only 101 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: one you. That's what makes Luke's podcast potential special. That's 102 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: what makes you special. We have one life. You have 103 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: this one chance to be the best version of yourself. 104 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: So you can spend this chance wondering what it would 105 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: be like if I did X or Y, or you 106 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: can just go and do the damn thing, all right, 107 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: So first things first, understand why we are making excuses 108 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,679 Speaker 1: in the first place. That feeling of unfamiliarity, that feeling 109 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: of uncertainty. 110 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:47,679 Speaker 2: Maybe we're not ready. 111 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: The next step to stop making excuses and start doing 112 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: make a decision. I know this can be super frustrating, 113 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: but if you're not committed, if you don't make a 114 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: clear decision, it's never ever going to stick. I mean, 115 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: think about the last thing you were fifty fifty on. 116 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: My guess is that you likely did not go through 117 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: with a thing that you quote unquote wanted. And if 118 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: you could see me right now, I was one hundred 119 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: percent using air quotes, plain and simple. You cannot move 120 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: forward without making a decision. So, for instance, two weeks ago, 121 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: on a Monday morning, I was having a conversation with 122 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: one of my oldest friends about. 123 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 2: My eating habits and how I was feeling. 124 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: When it just hit me that I was tired of 125 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: hearing myself complain about feeling as though I didn't have control, 126 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: and I just wanted to grab hold of it. I 127 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: wanted to take back control, period And so that day 128 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: I made the decision I was going to get back control, 129 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: and I started implementing all the things I've wanted to 130 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: do since day one. So, for example, now when I 131 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: go to the kitchen, which is many times during the day, 132 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: and I think that I want to grab a snack, 133 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: I start by drinking a glass of water, something else 134 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: that I could be doing so much more of. And 135 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: after I drink the glass of water a few minutes later, 136 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: I will ask myself, am I still hungry? 137 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 2: Eight Nine times out of ten, the answer to that 138 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 2: question is no. 139 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: I'm eating because I'm either stressed about something there's something 140 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: else I don't want to do. I'm using it as 141 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: a way to cope with whatever else is going on. 142 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 2: Of course, there's a. 143 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: Lot more to the eating strategies and the I'm not 144 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: going to snack on absolutely everything thing that I'm executing 145 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: in my own home, but I will save that for 146 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: another podcast. 147 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,479 Speaker 2: So Step one decision. 148 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: Now, decisions may not always be easy, but they can 149 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: be powerful. 150 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:46,199 Speaker 2: I'll say that again. 151 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: Decisions may not always be easy, but they can be powerful. Remember, 152 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: not making a decision is a decision and of itself, 153 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: And when you are faced with the problem of making 154 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: a decision, first realize that. Then come to terms with 155 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 1: the notion that any decision at that point is going 156 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: to be better than no decision at all. Step one decide. 157 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: Step two set a goal. Now, I've talked about smart 158 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: goals on the show before, specific measurable attainable, realistic, and 159 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: time bound, and all of those credentials are really important 160 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 1: when you think about what it is that you are 161 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: trying to achieve, what that first decision is propelling you towards. 162 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: So if the goal is a big thing, for instance, 163 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: say right now you'd like to start a podcast, well 164 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: maybe smaller goals are certain benchmarks that can get you 165 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:51,959 Speaker 1: to that bigger exciting thing. Maybe this week it's researching 166 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: to find out what podcasts you like and making a 167 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: list of ten of them come Friday. Perhaps next week 168 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: it's finding your some intro music and ordering the right 169 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,319 Speaker 1: equipment so you can do this at home, and so 170 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 1: on and so forth. By setting incremental goals, small things 171 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,559 Speaker 1: that can help you climb the ladder toward that ultimate, 172 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: big exciting thing, those are just as important in setting 173 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: this goal. It is important for you to identify your why. 174 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: Why is it that you want this thing? That why 175 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: no one can take it from you? And that is 176 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: what will enable you to actually stick to your plan 177 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 1: to start doing now. It is okay, it is more 178 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 1: than okay to be inspired by other people, but the 179 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: motivation for the goal, for what you want it needs 180 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: to come within just because you see someone else doing 181 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: something cool, that doesn't mean that you need to do 182 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: what they're doing. In fact, I would encourage you not 183 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: to unless it is one hundred percent true to what 184 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: it is that you want. 185 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 2: In this process, I need you to do me a favor. 186 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,439 Speaker 1: I need you to stop pretending that right at this 187 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 1: very moment, you don't have most of the essential tools 188 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: to go after whatever it is that you want. And 189 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: I'm not talking financially right, I'm talking about the idea 190 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: that you have that grit inside of you to go 191 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 1: for your big dreams. 192 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 2: But you can't just. 193 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: Listen to me tell you that and believe it. You 194 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 1: have to believe that for your self. Again, it starts 195 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: with your why. It starts with believing in yourself. And 196 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: when you do that and start to set smart goals, 197 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: then you can start to take real, actionable steps. The 198 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 1: next important thing when it comes to stop making excuses 199 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 1: and start doing is keep track of your progress. Positive 200 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: progress can be a total game changer. When we see 201 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: that things are going well, when we celebrate these small wins, 202 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: it encourages us to keep moving forward. Now, you have 203 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: to be just as okay with progress as you are 204 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: with failure. And that's because when things don't go as planned, 205 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: we have just as awesome of an opportunity to learn 206 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: from those experiences. 207 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 2: Failures are only failures if you see them that way. 208 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 1: But instead, if you take a step back and you 209 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: look at a mishap or an undesirable outcome and you 210 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: learn from that opportunity, then you have then just gained 211 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: something even though it's not going to plan. You have 212 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: to have compassion with yourself and remember you are human. 213 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: So even with the smallest act of keeping track of 214 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: your progress, checking in with yourself, maybe a day will 215 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: go by when you meant to do that and you didn't, 216 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: and hey, it happens. But what I want you to 217 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: remember in this whole process of stop making excuses and 218 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: start doing is that every single minute, every single day, 219 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: you have the chance to start fresh. If you fall 220 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: off the wagon, no matter how long it has been. 221 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 1: I want you to go back to your why why 222 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: did you want to start making those changes in the 223 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: first place. Remember the days when you were making excuses, 224 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: and think about how those excuses, how that feeling of 225 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: stagnation really made you feel. You are bigger than the excuses. 226 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: You are capable of big things. You can set goals 227 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: and you can progress and celebrate that progress. And the 228 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: last key component I'll chat about today when it comes 229 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: to you stopping to make excuses and start doing, is 230 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 1: to share this goal, this mission, this thing with a friend, 231 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 1: whether that's over the phone, over text message, whether it's 232 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: actually participating in something and executing with someone else. It 233 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 1: is so important from an accountability factor for you to 234 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: show up and be honest about what it is that 235 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: you want. And sometimes when we keep these things bottled up, 236 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 1: it's easy to hie right, It's easy to go back 237 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: to that excuse making place. 238 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 2: But again, you are better than that. 239 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,599 Speaker 1: Whether it's just a friend, a family member, a mentor 240 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: a colleague, whoever it is, do yourself a favor and 241 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: be open, be willing to get vulnerable, knowing that putting 242 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: yourself out there will only do you a service in 243 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: the long run. 244 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 2: That's it for today, guys. 245 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: I'm so interested to know what it is that you 246 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: want to change.
