Sooooo many stories, so many things that go on that I'll enable to share and if just one conversation or topic, motivates or helps one person, it's all worth it. That's the beauty of reaching and connecting. Being able to connect and then having that energy passed along in some form to more people to manifest and take it to another level somehow, that's awesome.
We'll have on guests from all different types of genres, entrepreneurs, trainers, nutritionists, motivational topics, music, whatever. And when you want to listen to one, you can right on your computer or download to you ipod for your jogs. I havent listened to a radio station in moooonths and my ipod is 75% loaded w differet casts. Think of this... Even Alex or Lindsay or carls class can be recorded, you can download it and do it again at a later date. That's sweet! The primal strength class wouldn't work that well.... You'd hear me say "5 sets of back squats," and then you'd just hear people mumbling "F you," under their breath :)
During my session in my garage Sunday night, after every set of squats, I wrote down a thought. #1 was/is "Be Useful," and that actually plays right into what I wrote above and also asks a question.
What exactly does it mean?
It means.... Anything, really. It means to ask yourself the actual question, "what can I do to be more useful today?"
To who?
To everyone and everything around us and yourself.
How can you be more useful at home?
How can you be more useful at work?
In the community?
With your friends
How can you be more useful with yourself?? That's a big one. What can you do in your day to day activities to improve the situation or yourself?
Be useful.
There's a term "he's a tool," or whatever and I don't see that as a negative in a certain light. I'll be a tool for you if it's towards a useful cause that can improve something. Isn't what I do already that? Isn't the podcast a tool? Aren't the training sessions tools? Sure they are, they're something we use to better ourselves and that could mean physical or mental or spiritual or anything else. A tool is something we need to help achieve a goal or mission and I'm cool w being a tool like that and I'd want the same thing in return.
Be useful.
It's about being assertive.
It's about recognizing you're needed and then taking the initiative to step up and turn the thought into meaningful action.
It's about not being lazy and making good choices at any given moment and not just when the spotlights on.
Be useful.
How can you help?
Now go help.
(Rereading that blog... It'll be so much cooler, more intense as a podcast.)
Sometimes I hear "Jesus! All I see are Blue Chip quotes and posters on my Facebook feed!"
Yep, it's called being useful. Maybe they'd prefer I post about getting drunk or some drama or some model pics, hard to tell. But I'm using Facebook as a tool to reach and connect, however I choose.
