1 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:16,640 Speaker 1: Sable Advice. Hello, it's Rob Shooter from the Naughty but 2 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 1: Nice Podcast. Each weekend we've been doing these special podcasts. 3 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: So as well as being a celebrity reporter, a gossip columnist, 4 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: entertainment guru, if I say so myself, I'm also a 5 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 1: best selling author. My self help book, The Forward Answer 6 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: is available now and I'm recognized as one of America's 7 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: leading experts in change, in habits, in happiness. So on 8 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: the weekends, in addition to doing our silly podcast that 9 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: we do Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, we do 10 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: a special bonus addition really focusing on something maybe a 11 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: little bit more important. Today's podcast is all about you 12 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: decide the moment that you start over start thinking about 13 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: your life. Like it is a book. It has an 14 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: unmistakable beginning when you are born, and a definite end 15 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: unfortunately when we all pass, and lots and lots and 16 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: lots of chapters in between. Some of these chapters are long, 17 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 1: some of them are short, some of them are interesting, 18 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: and some of them are a little bit duller. You 19 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: might even find yourself revisiting the same chapter over and 20 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: over again, as life seems to repeat itself. When you 21 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: think about your life like this, it reminds you of 22 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: something very important. That you are the author of this 23 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: great adventure and what happens next is up to you. 24 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: Only you have their power to dis side when a 25 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: new chapter starts and when an old one ends. It's 26 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: your life. So if you find yourself in the wrong 27 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: story or not enjoying the plot, change it. Never forget 28 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: that you get to decide if you are going to 29 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: play the villain or the heroer. Remember that there are 30 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: hundreds and hundreds of ways, maybe thousands, to reach any goal, 31 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: So don't get stuck really live in the same story 32 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: over and over again and expecting a different ending that's 33 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: not going to happen. Hoping to get somewhere newer by 34 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: doing the same thing isn't going to happen. Instead, embrace 35 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: change and keep on trying. When you first, second, third, 36 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: and maybe even fourth time, when those plans don't work out, 37 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: the biggest mistake people make is giving up. Don't make 38 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: this mistake. Change your plans, but not your goal, and 39 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: when things don't work out, be smart and admit it. 40 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: Remember that watering dead plants is exhausting, and it never 41 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: ever brings them back to life, so instead close that 42 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: chapter and start a new one. I love this quote 43 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: by Bear Grills, the survival expert. He said the following quote, 44 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: Survival can be summed up in three words, never give up. 45 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: I love that. If you want to make real change 46 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: in your life, you have to start changing your habits. 47 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: Don't be afraid of finding a new route that's going 48 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: to get you to where you want to be. You 49 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: have to aren't being totally honest with yourself. You deserve 50 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: to be in a relationship where you are safe to 51 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: say uncomfortable things. Every relationship in your life will be 52 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: stronger when you tell the truth, especially when you are 53 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 1: honest with yourself. If that truth leads to breakups, leads 54 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: to the end of a chapter in your life, or 55 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: even breaks your heart, in the long run, you will 56 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 1: live a much better life because of it. Alvis Presley 57 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: said the following quote. Truth is like the sun. You 58 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: can shut it out for a time, but it ain't 59 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: going anywhere. Focus on taking one small step at a time. 60 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: Think about the one thing that you can do right now, 61 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: and then do it. Don't think about running a marathon, 62 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 1: think about taking that first writing a book, starts with 63 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 1: a single sentence. I know that if you are going 64 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: to lose one hundred pounds, you have to shed one first. 65 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: And don't overwhelm yourself worrying about tomorrow. Think about what 66 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: you can do today. You have to be patient, knowing 67 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: that big things happen when you make small decisions, not 68 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: big ones. You have to be patient. Martin Luther King 69 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: said quote, you don't have to see the whole staircase, 70 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: just take the first step. Wise words the forward answer. 71 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: My book was started after I was inspired by watching 72 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: a movie, but it was finished after I worked on 73 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: it every single day for about thirty minutes a day. 74 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: That's all. That's all I did. That was it. I 75 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: found half an hour every single day, and I actually 76 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: found it in two fifteen minute intervals. I couldn't find 77 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: a whole thirty minutes, but I could find two fifteen 78 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 1: minutes of each day, seven days a week, where I 79 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: disappeared into a quiet corner of my apartment, or I 80 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: walked down to the river to find an empty bench 81 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: under a tree, and I did the work knowing that 82 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,799 Speaker 1: what I did today would mean I would finish one 83 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 1: day sooner. What kept me going was not biting off 84 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: more than I could chew, never overwhelming myself with the 85 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: enormity of the task at hand, but rather being smart 86 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: enough to believe in myself. Never forget that every professional 87 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: was once an amateur. That is true for everybody. Look around. 88 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: Think of your sports heroes, your favorite pop stars, your 89 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: favorite actor actress. There was a time when they too 90 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: were an amateur. Every night, before you go to bed, 91 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 1: write down one thing that you are going to accomplish 92 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: the next day, one small task that will get you 93 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: closer to your final goal. This approach has literally changed 94 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: my life. Doing this each day has not only transformed 95 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:25,559 Speaker 1: my productivity levels, but it has also increased my level 96 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: of happiness, because nothing feels better than getting it done. 97 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: When you were disciplined and focused on the next fifteen minutes, 98 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: the next fifteen years will take care of themselves. Focus 99 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: on now, right now, the next fifteen minutes. Take a 100 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: deep breath, and think about the one thing you are 101 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: going to start doing today. The next time you have 102 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: a bad day, remember that a bad moment is simply 103 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: that it's just the moment, It's just the day. Er 104 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: Ask yourself, are you really having a bad day, or 105 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: is it just a bad moment that you turned into 106 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: a bad day by obsessing about it. When you fight 107 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: with your partner, or your kids or your parents, or 108 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: you get cut off in traffic, or you miss your train, 109 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: or when you get the wrong coffee at Starbucks as 110 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: you're rushing to the office, you get to choose if 111 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: you are going to dwell on that for the entire 112 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: day or if you are going to move on. You 113 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: only have a bad day when you choose to have one. 114 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 1: I love this quote by Justin timber Lyck. He said, quote, 115 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: cry me a river, build a bridge and get over it. 116 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: Get over it. If whatever is wrong isn't going to 117 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: matter four minutes, four days, or four years from now, 118 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: why are you refusing to say goodbye to it? Like Beyonce, 119 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: find the good in goodbye, and never forget that you 120 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: have the power and the right to decide when you 121 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: start over, which, my friends, is right now. Let's end 122 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: with this amazing quote from ts Eliot. Quote. What we 123 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: call the beginning is often the end, and to make 124 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: an end is to make a beginning. The end is 125 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: where we start from. Just beautiful. Don't forget, my friends, 126 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: that you get to decide the moment you start over, 127 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:53,199 Speaker 1: and that moment is right now. Hey, thank you so 128 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: much for listening to these short ten minutes or so 129 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,559 Speaker 1: podcast we do on the weekends.

Yes, we all 135 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: love celebrity gossip. There's nothing wrong with that. I'm proud 136 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: I love gossiping about celebrities. But we all deserve to 137 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: have a minute, a moment when we think about ourselves, 138 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: and that's what these podcasts are all about. They're not 139 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: about celebrities, they're not about famous people. They're about the 140 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: real star in your life, which is you. Hey, everybody 141 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 1: sing along to our tagline.
