Action is Key

1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,440 So the big question is this. 2 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:13,480 How do young men like us who didn't listen to society, who are on our own, how do we 3 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:18,400 grow and improve ourselves so that we can live a better tomorrow? 4 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:24,920 That is the question and this show will give you the answers. 5 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:36,840 My name is James Radzinski and this is the Ascend Momentum Show. 6 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:37,840 Welcome back everyone. 7 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:50,560 I want to start off today's episode by telling you a little something about where I am recording 8 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,720 from this episode. 9 00:00:54,720 --> 00:01:06,720 So following yesterday's episode and how I was self-conscious when someone walked by, 10 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:15,320 I decided to fix it and record someplace else. 11 00:01:15,320 --> 00:01:27,240 In the place, I packed all my, someone's walking by again. 12 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:36,720 I guess I haven't fixed it, but I definitely made it better because what I did was I just 13 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:51,680 packed my bag, brought a water book, brought my voice recorder and packed it, biked over 14 00:01:51,680 --> 00:02:01,320 to my local park and I climbed a tree and now I'm up in the tree with all my stuff recording. 15 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:10,480 So this is a pretty fun experience and I'm right next to the highway so I'm not sure 16 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:18,680 if you guys will hear it but it's pretty loud so I imagine you guys will. 17 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:33,720 Someone's walking by again. 18 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,680 I have a prediction. 19 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:45,360 I predict that people walking by will not see me because I'm in this tree. 20 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:53,680 People don't look at the trees anymore nowadays so I can use that to my advantage and record 21 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:54,680 in the tree. 22 00:02:54,680 --> 00:03:02,200 But I'm trying to find a spot where I can sit down or at least find a comfortable position 23 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:09,640 because right now I'm kind of just jumping between two branches trying to keep moving 24 00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:15,400 so I don't stand all day but I am also barefoot. 25 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:22,400 I packed my slides so it wouldn't hurt to bike but when I come to the park I'm just 26 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,920 barefoot and I actually like it a lot. 27 00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:29,560 I'm training my feet right now making my toes wider. 28 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,720 Man, it's a beautiful day out. 29 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:40,440 If you guys ever have an opportunity to I 100% recommend Climatree. 30 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:47,440 It's a great experience. 31 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:53,800 So I wanted to talk about something that I read. 32 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,600 I finished the E-Mith Revisited yesterday. 33 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:09,080 And it's a good book but the end lasts like two or three chapters like the afterword all 34 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,040 those chapters. 35 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:17,840 That was really where the value came from the book for me at least. 36 00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:24,400 And there's a few quotes that he had at the beginning of the chapters that really stuck 37 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:25,840 with me. 38 00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:33,040 One of them was from I'm pretty sure an ancient Chinese proverb and it's if you hear something 39 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,040 you forget it. 40 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:40,720 If you see something you remember it and if you do something you understand it. 41 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:52,840 And when I read that I had to take a moment and think because that was truly a great quote. 42 00:04:52,840 --> 00:04:59,760 Because if and the way that applies to me at least what I can see right now is if I watch 43 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,000 a video I'll just forget about it. 44 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:14,960 If I read the book I'll remember it but it won't be until I actually take action and 45 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:25,880 do what the book says until I really understand the concepts, understand the feelings, just 46 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,960 understand everything to do with that idea. 47 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,640 And that has a lot to do with entrepreneurship too. 48 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:43,840 I've been reading all this stuff but I haven't really been acting and that's my issue. 49 00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:50,120 So I realized that I'm kind of just waiting for a future thing to happen which for me 50 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:58,840 is my birthday so I can open my own bank account and I'm not really doing anything in preparation 51 00:05:58,840 --> 00:06:01,760 for it. 52 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:10,680 And that's why the next book I'm reading after the EMIF which I actually started today is 53 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:20,640 Reality Transurfing and I've gotten 10 pages in so far and I already realized that that 54 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:28,080 book has all the answers that I need. 55 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:35,920 That book will reteach me everything I need to move forward. 56 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:42,280 I've already read it once a couple months ago but I really feel that I need to read 57 00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:49,240 it again right now. 58 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:56,680 Because I feel as though I'm on the wrong path, I'm on... 59 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:03,240 I don't feel like I'm achieving my goals, how I'm supposed to. 60 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:14,840 And that book will give me insights on what to do or at least how to think. 61 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:21,720 Someone's walking by again. 62 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:33,520 Bro, people simply just do not look at the trees anymore because someone just walked 63 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,720 by and did not even look up. 64 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:48,720 So make a habit of looking at the trees and becoming mesmerized by them and in awe. 65 00:07:48,720 --> 00:08:02,680 But that someone's about to walk by again. 66 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,680 Another quote I wanted to talk about. 67 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,680 What was it? 68 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:14,680 It's from the EMIF. 69 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:30,240 Oh yeah, it was at the end of the book when he was talking about entrepreneurship and 70 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:42,800 mindset and just how you need to actually work towards it. 71 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:56,360 So he said, there's a quote I don't remember from who, but it said, you have to earn freedom. 72 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:04,640 You can't get freedom for free, you have to earn it and work towards it. 73 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,960 Freedom's not given to you. 74 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,640 You must achieve it. 75 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:17,120 And that really hit me because I'm working on entrepreneurship. 76 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,800 Sorry, there's a train in the background. 77 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:37,960 It'll be gone in two seconds, but I'm working on entrepreneurship and the I've been thinking 78 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,960 about it for a long time. 79 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,680 The reason why I am doing entrepreneurship and working on business is because I want to 80 00:09:44,680 --> 00:09:52,040 be set free from this life and from society. 81 00:09:52,040 --> 00:10:00,320 And that's all I really want right now to be free and to have my freedom, but I'm not 82 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:01,600 earning it. 83 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:09,160 I'm just sitting around reading books all day, not doing anything. 84 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:23,760 So I'm curious, I'm questioning if I'm even on the right track, if I'm doing what I'm 85 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,760 supposed to be doing. 86 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:33,560 But yeah, that's the lesson today. 87 00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:41,720 You have to act to be able to understand and you have to act to earn your freedom. 88 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:42,880 Freedom is earned. 89 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:54,000 I have to achieve the freedom. 90 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,880 So that's about it. 91 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:02,680 Sorry, this episode wasn't very good. 92 00:11:02,680 --> 00:11:12,360 I'm going to try and find some new areas where I can record that are more secluded so I can 93 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:18,520 have privacy and won't get distracted. 94 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,800 So I won't lose my focus very often. 95 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,400 Alright, that's the end of the episode. 96 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:52,200 Thanks for listening and have a great day.
