849. Check Your Alignment
If you let go of your vehicle's steering wheel right now, how fast will it veer off into the ditch? Left unchecked, if you don't get your vehicle realigned, you'll buy tires sooner rather than later, which could cause some major front-end issues over time.
The same is true for your life. Life can feel overwhelming. So much for you to work on, but where do you start?
Start with one :)

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.858
When you bring about incremental changes that are in alignment with your future self.
00:00:05.820 --> 00:00:06.629
You're going to get there.
00:00:07.410 --> 00:00:09.240
It's when you're not in alignment.
00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:11.400
Is when you're not going to get there.
00:00:12.449 --> 00:00:13.470
Your results.
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:16.620
are inconsistent right now because.
00:00:17.460 --> 00:00:18.480
You're not in alignment.
00:00:19.350 --> 00:00:20.100
And you here.
00:00:20.460 --> 00:00:23.009
A lot of buzz about the word alignment.
00:00:23.579 --> 00:00:26.550
And maybe you don't really know what that means.
00:00:26.550 --> 00:00:28.289
What's it mean to be in alignment?
00:00:29.009 --> 00:00:29.969
Let me put it to you.
00:00:30.390 --> 00:00:32.939
Metaphorically cause I'm big on.
00:00:34.109 --> 00:00:35.759
Picture something mental pictures.
00:00:36.509 --> 00:00:38.549
So think of the tires on your truck.
00:00:39.409 --> 00:00:40.049
or your hooptie?
00:00:40.100 --> 00:00:42.320
If you let go of the wheel right now.
00:00:43.229 --> 00:00:44.609
See where your vehicle goes.
00:00:48.329 --> 00:00:51.420
If you let go of the wheel, man, it's going to veer off.
00:00:52.619 --> 00:00:55.109
Into the ditch, if you're out of alignment.
00:00:55.469 --> 00:00:56.969
So what do you have to do?
00:00:56.969 --> 00:00:58.259
You have to apply.
00:00:58.740 --> 00:01:01.770
Opposing resistance to the steering wheel.
00:01:02.369 --> 00:01:04.230
To prevent from going into the ditch.
00:01:05.310 --> 00:01:08.849
And it's deceiving at first, when you first get brand new tires.
00:01:09.618 --> 00:01:10.530
or an alignment.
00:01:11.010 --> 00:01:11.819
You're good.
00:01:12.030 --> 00:01:12.870
You're straight.
00:01:13.739 --> 00:01:15.179
And you hit a pothole.
00:01:15.718 --> 00:01:17.338
You hit some resistance.
00:01:17.759 --> 00:01:21.748
You veer off to the side cause you're texting and you hit something hard.
00:01:22.379 --> 00:01:25.228
Well, you got away with it because your tires didn't blow out.
00:01:26.129 --> 00:01:28.799
But it got you a little bit out of alignment.
00:01:29.668 --> 00:01:31.649
And the little at a time, man.
00:01:34.468 --> 00:01:36.868
It starts to get worse and worse and worse.
00:01:37.009 --> 00:01:38.748
It's deceiving at first.
00:01:38.778 --> 00:01:44.088
You don't realize it because you just have to apply a little bit of resistance.
00:01:44.748 --> 00:01:46.819
But over time.
00:01:47.780 --> 00:01:49.759
If you don't correct the alignment.
00:01:50.659 --> 00:01:52.280
It's going to get worse and worse and worse.
00:01:52.789 --> 00:01:55.819
Which is going to cause uneven tire wear.
00:01:56.299 --> 00:01:57.948
And you gonna have to buy a set of tires.
00:01:58.939 --> 00:01:59.599
Sooner.
00:01:59.899 --> 00:02:01.489
Then later plus.
00:02:02.088 --> 00:02:03.198
It could cause.
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:06.469
Some major front end damage.
00:02:07.209 --> 00:02:07.989
Over time.
00:02:08.649 --> 00:02:10.300
But see, we don't think about that.
00:02:10.838 --> 00:02:14.889
We just think of, oh, I can get to where I need to be.
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:16.659
Just.
00:02:17.169 --> 00:02:18.218
Applying a little bit of.
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:21.278
Resistance to the steering wheel.
00:02:21.909 --> 00:02:22.778
And go the other way.
00:02:23.830 --> 00:02:26.349
That's what being out of alignment is for you.
00:02:27.189 --> 00:02:28.810
It doesn't seem like a big deal.
00:02:29.860 --> 00:02:32.770
You're drinking a little bit more than you have been.
00:02:33.490 --> 00:02:35.500
You're making a few more exceptions.
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:44.710
Eating a few more buffets smash, and a few more seafood platters swiping the credit card a little more often, starting to live off of that.
00:02:44.710 --> 00:02:45.550
Just a little bit.
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:48.729
And because you're able to get through a month.
00:02:49.569 --> 00:02:51.250
A quarter a year.
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:53.439
Doesn't seem like much.
00:02:54.459 --> 00:02:57.009
Just like going back to that old hoopty, you got.
00:02:57.639 --> 00:02:59.439
It's just a little bit out of alignment.
00:03:00.250 --> 00:03:00.879
Got through it.
00:03:01.449 --> 00:03:02.349
And that's what we do.
00:03:02.799 --> 00:03:06.189
We look at the little thin slices and we're like, okay, I got it.
00:03:07.449 --> 00:03:09.340
But the two words.
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:12.789
That will cause your demise.
00:03:13.389 --> 00:03:14.740
or your success.
00:03:15.810 --> 00:03:16.840
are eventually.
00:03:17.889 --> 00:03:18.729
And ultimately.
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:21.210
Because eventually.
00:03:22.289 --> 00:03:24.060
It's going to get worse and worse in your life.
00:03:24.449 --> 00:03:25.560
If you're out of alignment.
00:03:26.129 --> 00:03:26.939
Eventually.
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:29.930
Not, not immediately, eventually.
00:03:31.189 --> 00:03:32.689
And if you don't correct that.
00:03:33.889 --> 00:03:34.909
You're ultimately.
00:03:35.990 --> 00:03:37.129
Going to end up in the ditch.
00:03:37.819 --> 00:03:39.530
So things aren't happening for you right now.
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:40.819
Just check your alignment.
00:03:41.509 --> 00:03:42.949
And pick one area.
00:03:43.430 --> 00:03:44.120
Just one.
00:03:44.419 --> 00:03:46.639
You may have a lot of different areas.
00:03:47.330 --> 00:03:48.949
That are out of alignment.
00:03:49.129 --> 00:03:56.150
You'll get overwhelmed and you'll quit because you're going to chase too much and applied too much and correct too much.
00:03:56.330 --> 00:03:58.669
And you're going to end up quitting because you're going to get overwhelmed.
00:03:59.330 --> 00:04:02.900
So pick the one area that really just stings your soul.
00:04:02.900 --> 00:04:05.270
You're like, bro, I got to stop doing this.
00:04:05.659 --> 00:04:06.740
Whether it's drinking.
00:04:06.740 --> 00:04:13.550
As soon as you get home, whether it's eating bad at work, whatever, just pick one area, do no judgment.
00:04:13.580 --> 00:04:14.629
Been there, done that.
00:04:15.530 --> 00:04:16.939
But pick one area.
00:04:17.870 --> 00:04:18.620
To bring.
00:04:19.459 --> 00:04:20.600
Into alignment.
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:23.209
And that alignment is.
00:04:24.139 --> 00:04:26.420
A vision that you have for your future self.
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:27.680
This is where I want to be.
00:04:28.339 --> 00:04:30.410
So you can't get there 10 years from now.
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:31.910
By being out of alignment.
00:04:31.939 --> 00:04:33.620
This is why you have inconsistent results.
00:04:34.430 --> 00:04:38.189
So pick one thing today this week.
00:04:39.180 --> 00:04:40.889
Bring it back into alignment.
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:44.160
The decisions and the actions that a take.
00:04:45.029 --> 00:04:45.990
are in alignment.
00:04:46.949 --> 00:04:48.149
With my higher self.
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:49.290
All right.
00:04:49.529 --> 00:04:51.120
Let's get it, keep it simple.
00:04:51.149 --> 00:04:51.870
Keep it moving.
00:04:51.930 --> 00:04:52.800
Never sell.
00:04:52.829 --> 00:04:53.550
Stay tough.
00:04:53.730 --> 00:04:54.300
Let's go.
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.858
When you bring about incremental changes that are in alignment with your future self.
00:00:05.820 --> 00:00:06.629
You're going to get there.
00:00:07.410 --> 00:00:09.240
It's when you're not in alignment.
00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:11.400
Is when you're not going to get there.
00:00:12.449 --> 00:00:13.470
Your results.
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:16.620
are inconsistent right now because.
00:00:17.460 --> 00:00:18.480
You're not in alignment.
00:00:19.350 --> 00:00:20.100
And you here.
00:00:20.460 --> 00:00:23.009
A lot of buzz about the word alignment.
00:00:23.579 --> 00:00:26.550
And maybe you don't really know what that means.
00:00:26.550 --> 00:00:28.289
What's it mean to be in alignment?
00:00:29.009 --> 00:00:29.969
Let me put it to you.
00:00:30.390 --> 00:00:32.939
Metaphorically cause I'm big on.
00:00:34.109 --> 00:00:35.759
Picture something mental pictures.
00:00:36.509 --> 00:00:38.549
So think of the tires on your truck.
00:00:39.409 --> 00:00:40.049
or your hooptie?
00:00:40.100 --> 00:00:42.320
If you let go of the wheel right now.
00:00:43.229 --> 00:00:44.609
See where your vehicle goes.
00:00:48.329 --> 00:00:51.420
If you let go of the wheel, man, it's going to veer off.
00:00:52.619 --> 00:00:55.109
Into the ditch, if you're out of alignment.
00:00:55.469 --> 00:00:56.969
So what do you have to do?
00:00:56.969 --> 00:00:58.259
You have to apply.
00:00:58.740 --> 00:01:01.770
Opposing resistance to the steering wheel.
00:01:02.369 --> 00:01:04.230
To prevent from going into the ditch.
00:01:05.310 --> 00:01:08.849
And it's deceiving at first, when you first get brand new tires.
00:01:09.618 --> 00:01:10.530
or an alignment.
00:01:11.010 --> 00:01:11.819
You're good.
00:01:12.030 --> 00:01:12.870
You're straight.
00:01:13.739 --> 00:01:15.179
And you hit a pothole.
00:01:15.718 --> 00:01:17.338
You hit some resistance.
00:01:17.759 --> 00:01:21.748
You veer off to the side cause you're texting and you hit something hard.
00:01:22.379 --> 00:01:25.228
Well, you got away with it because your tires didn't blow out.
00:01:26.129 --> 00:01:28.799
But it got you a little bit out of alignment.
00:01:29.668 --> 00:01:31.649
And the little at a time, man.
00:01:34.468 --> 00:01:36.868
It starts to get worse and worse and worse.
00:01:37.009 --> 00:01:38.748
It's deceiving at first.
00:01:38.778 --> 00:01:44.088
You don't realize it because you just have to apply a little bit of resistance.
00:01:44.748 --> 00:01:46.819
But over time.
00:01:47.780 --> 00:01:49.759
If you don't correct the alignment.
00:01:50.659 --> 00:01:52.280
It's going to get worse and worse and worse.
00:01:52.789 --> 00:01:55.819
Which is going to cause uneven tire wear.
00:01:56.299 --> 00:01:57.948
And you gonna have to buy a set of tires.
00:01:58.939 --> 00:01:59.599
Sooner.
00:01:59.899 --> 00:02:01.489
Then later plus.
00:02:02.088 --> 00:02:03.198
It could cause.
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:06.469
Some major front end damage.
00:02:07.209 --> 00:02:07.989
Over time.
00:02:08.649 --> 00:02:10.300
But see, we don't think about that.
00:02:10.838 --> 00:02:14.889
We just think of, oh, I can get to where I need to be.
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:16.659
Just.
00:02:17.169 --> 00:02:18.218
Applying a little bit of.
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:21.278
Resistance to the steering wheel.
00:02:21.909 --> 00:02:22.778
And go the other way.
00:02:23.830 --> 00:02:26.349
That's what being out of alignment is for you.
00:02:27.189 --> 00:02:28.810
It doesn't seem like a big deal.
00:02:29.860 --> 00:02:32.770
You're drinking a little bit more than you have been.
00:02:33.490 --> 00:02:35.500
You're making a few more exceptions.
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:44.710
Eating a few more buffets smash, and a few more seafood platters swiping the credit card a little more often, starting to live off of that.
00:02:44.710 --> 00:02:45.550
Just a little bit.
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:48.729
And because you're able to get through a month.
00:02:49.569 --> 00:02:51.250
A quarter a year.
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:53.439
Doesn't seem like much.
00:02:54.459 --> 00:02:57.009
Just like going back to that old hoopty, you got.
00:02:57.639 --> 00:02:59.439
It's just a little bit out of alignment.
00:03:00.250 --> 00:03:00.879
Got through it.
00:03:01.449 --> 00:03:02.349
And that's what we do.
00:03:02.799 --> 00:03:06.189
We look at the little thin slices and we're like, okay, I got it.
00:03:07.449 --> 00:03:09.340
But the two words.
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:12.789
That will cause your demise.
00:03:13.389 --> 00:03:14.740
or your success.
00:03:15.810 --> 00:03:16.840
are eventually.
00:03:17.889 --> 00:03:18.729
And ultimately.
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:21.210
Because eventually.
00:03:22.289 --> 00:03:24.060
It's going to get worse and worse in your life.
00:03:24.449 --> 00:03:25.560
If you're out of alignment.
00:03:26.129 --> 00:03:26.939
Eventually.
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:29.930
Not, not immediately, eventually.
00:03:31.189 --> 00:03:32.689
And if you don't correct that.
00:03:33.889 --> 00:03:34.909
You're ultimately.
00:03:35.990 --> 00:03:37.129
Going to end up in the ditch.
00:03:37.819 --> 00:03:39.530
So things aren't happening for you right now.
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:40.819
Just check your alignment.
00:03:41.509 --> 00:03:42.949
And pick one area.
00:03:43.430 --> 00:03:44.120
Just one.
00:03:44.419 --> 00:03:46.639
You may have a lot of different areas.
00:03:47.330 --> 00:03:48.949
That are out of alignment.
00:03:49.129 --> 00:03:56.150
You'll get overwhelmed and you'll quit because you're going to chase too much and applied too much and correct too much.
00:03:56.330 --> 00:03:58.669
And you're going to end up quitting because you're going to get overwhelmed.
00:03:59.330 --> 00:04:02.900
So pick the one area that really just stings your soul.
00:04:02.900 --> 00:04:05.270
You're like, bro, I got to stop doing this.
00:04:05.659 --> 00:04:06.740
Whether it's drinking.
00:04:06.740 --> 00:04:13.550
As soon as you get home, whether it's eating bad at work, whatever, just pick one area, do no judgment.
00:04:13.580 --> 00:04:14.629
Been there, done that.
00:04:15.530 --> 00:04:16.939
But pick one area.
00:04:17.870 --> 00:04:18.620
To bring.
00:04:19.459 --> 00:04:20.600
Into alignment.
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:23.209
And that alignment is.
00:04:24.139 --> 00:04:26.420
A vision that you have for your future self.
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:27.680
This is where I want to be.
00:04:28.339 --> 00:04:30.410
So you can't get there 10 years from now.
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:31.910
By being out of alignment.
00:04:31.939 --> 00:04:33.620
This is why you have inconsistent results.
00:04:34.430 --> 00:04:38.189
So pick one thing today this week.
00:04:39.180 --> 00:04:40.889
Bring it back into alignment.
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:44.160
The decisions and the actions that a take.
00:04:45.029 --> 00:04:45.990
are in alignment.
00:04:46.949 --> 00:04:48.149
With my higher self.
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:49.290
All right.
00:04:49.529 --> 00:04:51.120
Let's get it, keep it simple.
00:04:51.149 --> 00:04:51.870
Keep it moving.
00:04:51.930 --> 00:04:52.800
Never sell.
00:04:52.829 --> 00:04:53.550
Stay tough.
00:04:53.730 --> 00:04:54.300
Let's go.
