So I can say hi and welcome you here to the family of the monetize, your voice podcast. Thanks again for listening. And now let's get the show on the road.

Yes, let's get this show on the road. Welcome back. So happy to have you with us today. Of course, the first thing we do is we put on our fantastic attire and I am so happy for you folks watching the video. This is my brand new suit outfit. I just got a couple of days ago. What do you think of this sparkle?

The blues and the goals and the white sin. And of course by pink tie and a white hat, we're all ready to roll. I hope you have your fantastic attire and you're ready to roll also this week. We're going to be taking a look at the what-ifs in life. Okay. Are they real or are they just physical. Oh, our imagination.

Now, before we get into that, I always like to tell you that I happened to be a Christian. And so when I speak of my higher power, some of the words that I use are, are God creator, Jesus, holy spirit, heavenly father. I encourage you to use a word that works for you. I know that, you know, The feeling and the power of LP, J K love, peace, joy, and kindness.

And that's what, it's all about a higher power that brings us LP. J K and I hope that you have that in your life as well. So we're talking today about the, what ifs in life are they real or are they just a figment of our imagination? I want you to think about that for a couple of minutes before we go there.

And we're going to take a quick review of our last podcast, which was in decisiveness. Now, Webster says that in decisiveness is not settling an issue, him hawing around. We also have a thing in there. Call comparison despair. That helps us. Am I good enough? Aren't I good enough. Um, lack of laser focus, the why versus the fork in the road we get to this point.

Well, uh, well, if I go right, maybe that'll be the wrong decision. If I go left, if I go straight, we need to. Uh, date on our wait. I have a very great story to share with you. That just happened to me within the last hour. You see, I'm, I'm going for an MRI. I'm having some, uh, shoulder problems. And so this has to do with, well, how long do I want to wait?

Well, I don't want. You know, any extra time necessary. I need to find out what's going on with my shoulder. So I was scheduled for 10 days from the day, and I kept on calling to see if there was a cancellation call this morning, no luck. So I just said, Hey, you know, I'm going to call again. And the lady was taking her time and this, that, and the other thing.

And all of a sudden she has a, Hey, how would you like to do tomorrow? Oh, I said, well, that'd be fantastic. So what time she says, you have to be here at six 30. Now I have over an hour drive to get to the MRI facility. So it's getting up in the middle of the night and I also have three more appointments tomorrow.

So you know that I could have said, uh, but no, I wanted to go. There was no wind decisiveness there. Boom. I said before. Now, we're also talking about doing this particular podcast and, you know, I've had a lot of interruptions today. I mean things, Bob Loblaw all over the place and we have our county fair going on right now.

And, uh, this, this evening, uh, my favorite local rock and roll band is playing and I've been planning for weeks to get. And I said, Hey, I'm still gonna cut this podcast before I go, because I know I'm not going to have time tomorrow with everything else going on and getting up in the middle of the night, put a date on our way.

And I said, Hey, we are not gonna go off on this set up. We have to make a decision. You know, we can, we can change that. There's nothing that says that, that, uh, if we're not doing brain surgery or open heart surgery, that we can't change it, but now's the time to take the next step we got to get rid of in decisiveness.

Do it today. Best week. Hey, the what ifs in life? Oh my goodness. What if, you know, like, um, am I tall enough? Do my eyes look good enough? The what ifs to me or the twin sister of in decisiveness, a question for all of us to think about deeply what makes us bill. These huge roadblocks in our life, all this unnecessary.

I like the color. They guess gobbly, goop. Are we scared? Is that one of the reasons we come up with the, what ifs do we lack? Focus? How about desire a drive? It was just like the situation the day now, you know, I could have blown this off. You got to remember I'm in my eighth decade now, but I had this brand new suit at all.

My gosh, the folks on the video can see it. Isn't it fantastic. I have so, so happy. It makes me feel so good. And so young, I could have pushed this off as a, you know, I'm going to go to the fair, got all this other stuff going on, but no. I know, well, what if I could do it tomorrow or the next day or whatever?

I do think what ifs are another form of excuses. I think it has to do with a portion of self sabotage, self sabotage. Yeah. Self sabotage. Not really believing in me and my purpose. I've got some, um, I've got some great stories here on the water gifts. There comes a time when we have to say enough is enough and just go do it.

So these, uh, situations just happened to me recently. We have a very, very large Amish community here in central pencil. And I'm been friends with the army, uh, for a long, long time. So I w I was, uh, taking one of my Army's workers home and I had another appointment I had to go to. So I'm heading down this back road now.

I mean, this is like in the middle of nowhere, it's out in farm land, farm country. And I, all of a sudden I saw this young girl running up across the line. And I recognized her because it was the younger sister of my helper. And so I slowed down and I saw here's this sign lemonade stand. I'll think about this for a moment.

That was a 10 year old and a 12 year old. Now they could have said, well, why, what if we do this work? We make this lemonade and all this other stuff. And, and nobody shows nobody comes down this real rural road. What if we do this work? You know, all these excuses, they didn't say that. They just said, Hey, we're going to do a lemonade stand.

And they also have little bags of chips and so on and so forth. Well, I stopped and I backed up and I didn't need any lemonade because I had a drink with me. So I asked the girls about these, these are bags of chips. And so I said, well, which one's your favorite? I bought a bag at a down the road. They were not second guessing themselves.

They had this idea, we're putting up a lemonade stand and we're going to do some, um, chips on the side. So we, we have some more items to sell. We also have this wonderful farmer's market that has been around for 80 years and about a mile and a half before you get to the farmer's market. Army's family and they set up a standard, says homemade Whoopie pies.

Every Friday. That's when a farmer's market is now. They didn't say, well, what if everyone drives by? Because we can get Whoopie pies at the farmer's market. There are at least two different locations there for Whoopie pies. So whatever everybody buys her will be fine. What if the one goes out of their way to, to stop and pull, pull over and so on and so forth, they said none of those things.

And obviously they're doing quite well because they've been there for at least three years now. No excuses, no second guessing they just did it. And then I had this great experience at the former. I met this young lady. That's a retired now from her nursing job. She had like 45 years in the healthcare industry, but she always had this dream about going into business for herself.

And she has this product called come Bucci or kombucha. I'm not sure it's a, it's a fermented drink of some kind. And this girl's a great mark. Cause she has samples. Hey friends, it's James.

And now let's get back to the show

because she has samples will all the different flavors. And she also does homemade soups, which she has samples. And so I asked her, I said, well, what, what, what was your drive on this? She said, I just want to do it. I want to try it. After 45 years in healthcare, she doesn't say, well, what if no body likes kombucha or my soups?

Aren't good enough. She just did it. There were no what ifs. So are you ready? To call it quits with the, what ifs are you ready to say? Enough is enough. I believe in myself. I know I can do this. It's your time. I think what ifs are another form of fear, false evidence appearing real. Or how about Mr.

Fantastic definition of. Fun easy and rewarding. Let's shift our focus, the fun, easy and rewarding [e-mail]. A fantastic voice and leadership training. Our four pillars are LPJ K love, peace, joy, and kindness every day in every way. It's LPJ K. In a fun and easy way through I N a I N a is implementation an application.

It doesn't matter what the subject is. Ladies and gentlemen, without ina, without implementation and application on any subject. From my perspective, it is nothing other than wishful thinking or daydreaming, um, wishing and hoping, hoping, and wishing. So let's make that fair, funny, easy, and rewarding is making that 180 degree U-turn and it doesn't always happen on a dime, but we have to turn the wheel and make that 180 degree change by taking the next step.

Believing faith over fear. Faith is the greatest power that we have in John 10, 10. Jesus said I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly. Yes. To have life and have it more abundantly. That's what I hope you are desiring to do. And you're going to kick the water. To the side of the road, keep taking the next step.

We can climb Mount Everest with baby steps, as long as we're putting one in front of the other.
