Hello, hello, and welcome to the new mindset who this podcast my name is case Kenny at case.cannyon

Instagram and this is my weekly podcast where I create short no BS episodes dedicated to helping you be the person

You're meant to be leave your comfort zone and live a fulfilling and purposeful life. Let's go

All right welcome to episode one twenty two hundred and twenty two episodes in and I've got a super simple message for this episode

It's definitely when you've heard before you've probably seen it as I have on every motivational quote page all those silly videos

Blinked in Instagram wherever like you've seen it you've heard it you know it but if you're like me you don't always do it

And I'm not afraid to do an entire episode dedicated to something that you might have heard before because for one I think it's that important that I want to do it

But I've also learned firsthand that even though you might have heard something multiple times even though you yourself might know this truth

And you know you should do something sometimes you need to hear it again sometimes all it takes for an aha moment or just a switch to flip is to keep your ears and eyes open to hearing it again

Sometimes all it takes is hearing it again from someone else in a slightly different way and then boom you're like wait yes this is it

This is what I need to do boom clarity right you know it's happened to me so many times in my life and that's why I tried to be overly eager to keep my ears eyes heart

Soul everything open to learning new truths and I hope the same is true for you so very excited to talk about this

I'm going to hop into it quick favor before I do that's to rate and review the podcast if you can spare a minute or two

Again, I don't do advertisers or anything I'm not selling anything so if you're enjoying the show if you're getting something out of it and can take two minutes do a quick rating and review on iTunes or Apple podcasts as it's called that would mean the world to me literally just hit the five stars and then it will prompt you to enter a one to two sentence review whatever you could write more someone the other day

We're like a whole freaking paragraph is epic you could write one word if you want you could write a couple sentences either way I really do appreciate it helps the show grow and I'd love to get up to 2000 or so five star ratings so thank you again

It should only take a minute but that that's all I'm asking just a quick review and if you want to shoot me on Instagram at case.kenny when you've done that if you've done it that way I could say thank you I do say thank you to everyone who does it just because it does it does me that much so that's it

It's all I got for you there and I'll hop right into it so the truth that I want to talk about here is that in life you have to grab what you want and only you can do that and if you want something you have to stop making excuses

you have to stop making excuses I wish I could like voice the clapping emoji it's because it's like you have to stop making excuses like really emotional body I have to stop making excuses because at the end of the day if you're real with yourself the only thing the only things that sit between you and the things you want the person you want to be the things you want to own the places you want to travel

are the excuses that you allow to occupy space in your life that's it excuses man excuses I think if I had to pick a word that I like least in the world it would be that word excuse I did a QAn Instagram the other day and someone asked what my favorite word was and I said it was crisp love that word crisp my least favorite would be excuse because I've learned so much in retrospect about how we let bullshit excuses add up and add up and add up and add up and then you know what I'm going to say

I'm going to add up and add up and then you look back and instead of being like oh man what a ride my life has been my life has built on this experience and that experience and this perspective and that failure and this trip and that relationship and that attempt instead of that it's like well you know that one time I did think about doing that thing but I didn't because you know bullshit bullshit bullshit or you know I've always talked about doing that you know but I but I haven't or oh that thing yeah it's on my list

and you basically built up a life of things that you should do a life of things that you want to do but you haven't actually done any of them you know you have this long list of things that just kind of sit there and the reason is because you allow excuses to stop you and for you like I'm coming at you a little bit here I'm coming at myself I'm guilty of this as well so my message is simple for this episode it's that if you want something you have to act

life simply does not reward passive people and sure you can live a great life built on excuses and waiting for things to come to you but if you want a life that you create that reflects who you are well then you have to grow to hate excuses just as much as I do like they've got to outright just like piss you off
