It is a day of deep dives after a week of dropping down rabbit holes.

A lot of it has to do with starting.

Starting now.

And I realized something.

I sometimes need to take my own advice.

Because even though I do a lot

There is more I could do

That I don’t

Out of fear.

Even when I ask myself what are you afraid of.

What deep seated thing haven’t you worked through to get to the point of doing whatever it is you want to do.

In my case, it’s start a NEW YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

I’ve tried a couple of times to do videos where I talk and failed.

Or rather, put them up to limited views AND then got talked over, through and down to by someone who was supposed to be a cheerleader.

Which is how it works, I think.

The old “who do you think you are?” “Why do you think you’re special.”

And my favorite, “that’s stupid.”

There were more, too many to list, too many reasons.

When I look at the man in the mirror, I get angry.

I could sit in a jungle on the far side of the world, surrounded by things and people who want me dead or worse,

But I can’t take a little criticism from someone close to me?

What is that all about?

Doing 360+ editions of It’s 9AM has let me do some exploring on the inner workings of my thinking mechanisms.

And running thousands of miles a year (NOT ALL AT ONCE!) has let me break down a lot of the bullshit walls and barriers we put up on the inside just to make us feel better.

I know it has to do with growing up with a stepdad who wasn’t so nice.

A few other reasons that end up being a bunch of excuses.

Because once you realize one thing, it is the most liberating FEELING in the world.

Nobody gives a damn.

Do it. Do it anyway.

Start. Start now.

Today.

Because five years ago, I had ideas I didn’t pull the trigger on, and today, people are doing the thing I had an idea about.

Practice made them better.

When I see them or read them or read about them, my judgment is admiration, not criticism.

It doesn’t matter.

My thoughts, my feelings, my justification means absolute zero to them and what they did.

What they wanted to do.

And the same applies in reverse.

It doesn’t matter what “they” think.

It doesn’t matter what “they” say.

Do it anyway.

Start today.

Like the COOKING CHANNEL I’ve been planning for YEARS.

PLUS

I can’t sing- but like writing songs and this is how I GET AFTER IT:

ROLLING WITH IT

I’m not a mechanic but I’m fixing up an old truck

And of course, I’m WRITING EVERY SINGLE DAY

With four new books coming out over the next four weeks:

FAINT OF HEART

FAIR PLAY

RULE OF THUMB

PUSHING LUCK

PLUS

When I went WIDE on multiple platforms, one included getting EBOOKs back on AMAZON as a PUBLISHER.
