Welcome to the MWF Motivation Podcast, one of the top-rated motivational podcasts in the world.
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I come out with a short, to-the-point, no-BS podcast designed to transform you from who you are today into who you want to be. There's no fluff here, just life-changing
content. My name is Rob Dial, and the podcast starts now.
Hello, hello, you beautiful people. Welcome to today's episode. If you have not yet done so,
please hit the subscribe button.
Also, if you are interested in my level two coaching,
this is kind of like my level one,
the podcast is free, it always will be,
but if you need some more advanced steps, lessons,
all of that stuff to take you to the next level,
send me an email, rob at mwfmotivation.com.
My group coaching might be right for you.
There's over 40 hours of
hardcore in-depth video lessons to help you get to where you want to go in life, as long as
you implement what you learn. So if you're interested in learning about that, send me an
email, rob at mwfmotivation.com. But Einstein says to do the same thing over and over again
and expect different results as insanity. So if you
feel like you're not going in the direction you want, unless you do something to change it,
whether that's group coaching or whether that's something else, it's complete insanity to do the
exact same thing unless you make some changes. So if you're not happy with the way your life has
been or the way your year has been or whatever it might be, do something different than what
you're currently doing or what you have been doing. All right, let's dive in. I'm going to talk about you being a hero,
you being Superman, Superwoman, Catwoman, Catman, whatever you want to be, you being the hero of
your own story. I want to talk about your life, where it is right now and where it's going. I
don't honestly give a crap about your past because it doesn't really actually even matter.
going. I don't honestly give a crap about your past because it doesn't really actually even matter. And the past doesn't even exist in a physical form. It's not there. It doesn't matter.
So we need to stop worrying about, but I want to talk about where your life is now,
where your life is going. I don't care if you're 18. I don't care if you're 25, 40, or 60 age does
not matter wherever you are. I want to talk. The reason why is because you are still alive
and you still have X amount of time to be alive. It's different for all of us.
If you are 60, the average person's living to 85 now. You still have 25 years. It is not time
to throw in your chips and get your AARP and get your whatever it is that you want to do,
your retirement packages and all this stuff.
You have 25 years to leave a mark if you're 60.
I hate when people say, I wish I could, but I'm too old.
Or something along those lines.
I wish I could, but I didn't get my degree in that.
Something like, I wish I could start my own business,
or be a painter, or be a musician, but I'm 45 and I have a family.
Or I wish I could start my own business, but my degree is in finance and that would make
those four years of school worthless.
Well, if you're 45, and let's just say you're 45 and you still have on average about 30
more years to live, actually 40 more years to live, you're going to tell me that you're going to waste the next 40 years of your life doing something that you don't want to do or something
That you don't enjoy or something that you're not passionate about because you got a different degree 20 years ago
That took you four years to get
Are you kidding? Like just think about that for a second
You have 40 more years to live and you're going to stay doing the same thing that you hate because you took four years, 20 years to go to get some degree
when you still have 40 more years to live on average. Are you kidding me? You get one freaking
life. You don't get to come up to it bad again. This isn't batting practice. You get one.
And it doesn't matter what you've
done in your life in the past. I don't care. The past means nothing. Literally nothing. Not one
thing. Whether you were a good person, whether you were the worst person in the world, your past
means nothing. I don't care about your past. And you've heard that before, but I don't know if
everybody understands it. Actually, I would don't know if everybody understands it.
Actually, I would say most people don't understand it. It literally means nothing.
Not one cell of you is the same as when it happened. If it was 10 years ago, 20 years ago, you are actually not the same person. Physically, your cells have reproduced and not one cell of your body is the same as when that
actually happened. So here's what you should do. You should wake up today. You should wake up
tomorrow and decide that you're going to be the hero of your own story. I don't care how bad your
past was. I don't care how bad your present is. Even if you're addicted to heroin or alcohol, or you've lost your whole
family and everyone that you love, you can make a change right now. You, you, you can make a change.
Nobody else can make that change. Here's why I say be the hero of your own story.
Pretend that your life is a movie and you're the star of that movie. The past, your past,
was a buildup of all of that crap. We've all seen the movies where someone just hits rock bottom
and you're rooting for them. Your present is the moment right now, right this very second,
is the moment that you clicked on, you woke up, you flicked that light switch, and you realized it was time
to make a change and time to make your life great. Be the hero of your own story. Be that story that
people are just sitting and watching the movie in the theater and they're like, holy crap, this guy,
this girl has been through a lot, but I'm rooting for them. Be that person. Be the hero of your own story. Make your life the movie where everyone was
watching it go bad. But right now, at this very second, when you stop listening to my voice,
right now is the point where that movie turns around and that person makes a decision that
enough is enough. They are not satisfied with living mediocre or worse than
mediocre anymore. They're not satisfied with just getting by. They're not satisfied with paying
their bills paycheck to paycheck. They're not satisfied with being addicted to alcohol or
addicted to drugs. They're not satisfied with the way that it has gone and right now is where it
changes. Be the type of movie, make your life the type of movie
where the crowd is rooting you on
and the crowd wants you to win.
And right now is that moment.
Like the pursuit of happiness.
I've never heard someone say,
I hate the movie, The Pursuit of Happiness.
That movie sucks.
It's impossible.
It's an amazing movie because you feel for this guy
because he's been through so much.
He literally has no home and a child and he's sleeping in a bus stop bathroom.
If you're not sleeping in a bus stop bathroom, you're not as bad as he was.
And he turned it around to be successful and to have a movie made about him.
Why can't you do the same?
Be the hero of your own story.
Make the decision right now.
If you get nothing else from this, make the decision right now. If you get nothing
else from this, make the decision right now that the past means nothing. The present is all that
matters and building towards your future is what you're going to do. You're going to make a change.
If you're 60 years old and you've had 60 years of crap, you got 25 more years on average,
25 more years to be alive, to do something great, to change your
story around, to be the hero of your story. If you are less than 60 years old, you have a lot
more time as well. So there are no excuses. Your past means nothing. Your present is the
only thing that's happening and your future is where you're working towards.
