Hi !
Seems like the
secret of having more yes in your life is to be willing and able to have more no in your life.
Most people are gonna fail in about 20 days. That's January 23, 2026 - for most of you.
They’re gonna stop doing what they promised they’d do.
They’re gonna stop working on what they said they were gonna work on.
And I get why.
Promises.
Intentions.
Working hard.
That isn’t what creates change.
That's what creates struggle.
Here’s what will actually transform your life in countless ways.
But first...
I need you to stop imagining something
so that you can accept your wish in its fullness.
What I need you to do...
What I want you to do...
What you need to do...
...is to stop imagining your struggle is real.
The first thing you gotta give up, say no to, is struggle.
People are addicted to struggle.
They love struggle.
They love struggle because they
love talking about it.
Because when you talk about your struggle, you find a tribe. You aren't lonely anymore. You are liked, because you are like everyone else in your "tribe". Struggling...
Now what's NASTY is...
Your struggle determines your excuses. What you reflexively say, when an opportunity shows up.... When a God Given Desire shows up...
Your excuse is how you give it the kiss of death.
And your MAIN excuse is going to be something like:
Not enough money.
Because times are tough.
Not enough time.
Look how busy I am.
Because I’m the savior of the universe.
Or the
ONLY one who gets things done...
I’m too old.
I’m too young.
Those two are always handy...
So as soon as you start sharing those struggle stories, with your excuses
hidden up your sleeve...
You seem to get the spotlight...
Let's call it the spotlight of struggle...
And the problem is what's really happening is...
You just picked
the tribe you are gonna starve your dreams to death with...
Dreams and desires are like little children, or puppies....
Feeding them is a good idea....
Not feeding them is a crime...
Remember what Neville said...
"God, only God, gives you the hungers."
And he also said, that your specific desire has its own plan and power of fulfillment.
In other words, how it
happens - will often be a mystery to you. "Out of the blue...."
That's how I met Victoria...
And that's how I met Neville...
And that's how I moved around the world and became an Australian.
And what I’m asking you to do today, so that you change all of your tommorws...
Is actually pretty darn simple.
Instead of adding in a new routine to make something you say you want to happen
How about if you give up an excuse?
In other words...
How about if you give up on history?
Because ALL of your excuses come from history.
Your
history.
Your parents’ history.
A stranger’s history that you fell in love with.
That’s where excuses come from.
Because people bond over "shared history".
On the other
hand...
I want you to accept the mystery of you.
The magnificence of you.
The magic of you.
If you’re willing today to just notice
What’s my excuse in this moment?
Is it not enough money?
Is it not enough time?
Is it not enough time on earth yet?
In other words, I’m too young.
Is it not enough time left here on earth?
(I’m too old.)
Notice your excuses.
Shake their hands.
And send them on their way.
Dive
deeper.
Soar higher.
Mr. Twenty Twenty
and Victoria tooo....
P.S. If you read this far,you’ve done a lot more than what most people do.
Congratulations.
Let’s just call that having gone the extra mile.
Let’s just call that having chosen to invest in you.
To become more curious about what’s possible.
I’m a massive fan of
curiosity.
So this morning, I because I was curious...
I asked her.
And she said yes.
A long time ago, I asked her, I asked her to marry me....
And she said
yes back then too.
And we’ve been together for many, many, many moons now.
And it feels like I only met her yesterday...
And that we've been best friends forever...
But today I asked her...
"Do you want to go on the Power Walk with me?"
(At 5:07 am....)
(In our dressing gowns....)
You know, my second sacred practice.
(If you don't know about it, hit reply and ask....)
It's fast, easy, free and fun.... And it gets you soooo unstuck... and it speeds up everything cool! In just 7 minutes...
And she said YES!
And so that’s the photo you see above there.
Her and I on the power walk...
Just a few magical moments ago.
Now, I could have listened to my excuse....
Just because I didn't want to here a
NO from her....
Instead, I said no - to my history...
Of having done it - alone...
My seeming struggle. My excuses...
Because I’ve done a lot more power walks without her
than with her.
This is ONLY the second one we’ve been on.
And if I used history as an excuse not to express my desire,
I wouldn’t have a yummy story for you today.
Or a yummy photo.
Or a yummy marriage.
See ya.
