Good morning and welcome to the increase your impact podcast. I'm Justin Sua episode

1,400 1,843 and today's quote comes from Mark Andrius and who is a technologist.

He says this, I am continually amazed at the number of people who coast through life and

don't go and seek out opportunities even when they know in their gut what they'd

really like to do. Don't be one of those people. Life is way too short. I spoke to a

coach a few weeks ago and he said when he was a player the best advice that he was given

from another coach was that you're going to be dead a lot longer than you're going to

be alive and you're going to have a life outside of sport a lot longer than you're going

to have a life playing your sports. And for some reason that gave him the courage to

take risks, gave him the courage to swing for the fences so to speak and to give his absolute

best. The odds are going to be against you. There's going to be a lot of other people

pursuing the same goals but the last thing you want is regret. You don't want to beat

up on yourself for not going for it because you're afraid to fail. You're afraid to embarrass

yourself in front of people. And so just like Mark Andrius and says don't be one of those

people. Life is too short. Go for it. Seek out the opportunities. Especially when you know

in your heart that that is what you really want to do. So my journal prompt for you today is this

what sets your soul on fire? What do you really want to do? What do you really want to accomplish

that is scary? That you sometimes and maybe you don't even want to say it out loud because it

sounds silly because people who love you most will try to reject it and knock it down because

the odds are against you and they're trying to protect you from failure. Write that down. What is

it? And what would it look like? If you were to re-engineer reverse engineer success, what would

it look like? What would the first step look like in walking towards that goal? Have a great day
