Talk about the things that you're nervous to talk about. Challenge yourself today. So many times, I see the opportunity squandered individuals deciding to play it safe rather than to leap into danger. People want to hear themselves in you, and you have to be able to, at times go to places that you may think no one can relate to, and you'd be surprised at the connections you make each time you do this, dig deeper, explore the unknown with a smile on your face

And it's so funny because I'm literally about to board a plane in a couple of hours to go to Zanzibar with my kids. And I can tell you that for two years I sat on my hands. Even once coronavirus started to dissipate and people started traveling again, I was like, yeah, no, I'm not doing it. I'm too scared. I don't want to get Coronavirus again. I had it. It's the worst thing in the world

I had you sitting closing your eyes. Well, that's good. The motivational waves are definitely meant to inspire, and I try to be as least logically thinking as I can when it comes to my motor waivers. I just wanted to be, strictly speaking, to one's emotional response to situations and try to help that's ultimately what I want to do. And as you said, fear extremely debilitating and nothing's wrong with feeling it

But I think the moment that we don't feel any fear about something that we could be really great at and know what we're doing, then we might be at the place where we feel like there's nothing else to learn or arrogance or something which can take you into another kind of unproductive place, I think, but travel safe and have an amazing weekend, everybody. Bye

Santia, as always, thank you for responding to the swells and arrogance with lack of fear. It's interesting because it's almost a fear of in itself, where there's almost this avoidance of the issue or the problem at large. Whereas when one is confident, they weigh the doubt, they weigh the fear, they weigh the failure, and yet they still proceed

I love it. Oh, is that what Moti Waiver means? Like motivation of waves. I was like, I don't know what that means. Maybe I'll just private message him. Okay. Got it. Peace

I have a funny story about motor waivers. I originally started this as a parody of what I was hearing at the time on Anchor. So this is about maybe three years ago or four years ago. Anchor had a lot a lot of motivational speakers on there life coaches, et cetera. No offense, lady, but they would say the most over the top things. So I wanted to do my version of it, and that's how the motivators were born

Very cool. Very cool. Dewuan. Yeah. I was just like, okay, you know, and I kind of feel you with the whole motivation, like, I don't it's interesting. I guess I'm going to be a little vulnerable in this swell. But I see people are like, they're this coach or that coach or a certain type of speaker. And I don't know, I don't feel super comfortable naming myself a coach of anything or a certain type of speaker

Anyone can become an MBTI expert if they want it to. It doesn't require schooling and doctorate or undergrads and all that sort of stuff. So I guess you can make of that what you will. Wow. Just witness almost a near fatal car accident as a person was speeding while another person was turning into a Lane. But it is what it is. But yeah, and it's not to say that you are validated and important because you have these doctorates and et cetera

And I want to reflect that this can be kind of a cool mental health reminder, but it's also a reminder in terms of how we create creating with the sense of abandon, the sense of leaping into something that will reveal itself without you controlling it all the time. And I think everyone's a creator. I'm not being woo here. I think everyone has the capacity to create something out of nothing
