Summary

Do you ever wish you had a less complicated life? Even if your job and life are overcomplicated out of necessity, like launching a rocket or performing brain surgery, you can still simplify everything. How do you do it? The fact is, the actions you are taking in your life and your job are probably not causing the overwhelm. It's the people and the results that are causing you to feel that way. The easier way to under-complicate is to begin saying "No" to the arbitrary and unattainable demands of others and focus exclusively on the results you want. Here are a couple of ideas: 1) Practice the law of "Good Enough." Perfectionism is over-rated. It will waste years of productive time that you could use to enjoy life. Set your own standards and rise to them. 2) Get good at saying "No." Make that two-letter word your default answer for everything. And remember, sometimes, saying nothing at all gets the same result. 3) Keep in mind that the only thing you must do in life is taking a BREATH. Everything else is optional and self-inflicted. Leonardo da Vinci said," Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." Why not show everybody how sophisticated you are? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How are you? It's it's Tuesday. I'm so happy to have you here today. This is awesome. If it's your first time stopping by, get ready because you may not because of the way the world is these days, you may not be able to tolerate or handle what I'm going to teach today. You're just not going to.

0:29.0

Because I talk in what we speak. It's an ancient language. It really truly is. We call it Scott logic around here, but in the history books, it's called common sense. That's what it was called years and years ago. And everybody used to speak common sense. They don't anymore. It's like, I don't know what it is. Open borders, whatever. This something going on here. But nonetheless, we're going to speak common sense today and make some sense to you and help you get what we're talking about saying yes to yourself. And by the way, for those of you who think it's got way to say yes to myself. Does that mean I have to say no to somebody else?

0:59.0

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, you don't have to say no to everybody else. In fact, it's my contention that if you say yes to yourself enough and you pay attention to your goals, your dreams, your ambitions, the things you want to do. That you're just not going to have to say no much. It's just not going to matter because, well, can we request once you figure out that nobody's really paying much attention to what you're doing. And when you just decide to say yes to myself and go do it a little bit. It's like you just get to do it. It's magical. True. It's like it's it's it's like the unicorn.

1:29.0

That you really want to ride. Okay. It's there. So yes to yourself. We'll talk about them today. Show it is me Scott. Good to have you. Thanks for stopping by today. How do I describe myself?

1:45.0

Strangely, both of these gentlemen have passed away. And it's kind of a weird place for me to be right now. But I'm so how do you describe yourself? I'm kind of a combination between.

1:55.0

Like a Rush Limbaugh kind of communicator. And a Robin Williams got a frenetic comedy kind of guy. I think it's probably was kind of cool. Right. He could be really, really funny. And yet he could be very dramatic at the same time. That's me. That's me.

2:11.0

Not to say I'm Robert Williams. That's amazing. I'm just too bad on that one. It's sad. Happy to have you here today. Thank you for stopping by. The Facebook group is rocking. We should have a thousand members. I'd say within a couple of days. And it's cool.

But if you're negative, you're out of there. We have zero tolerance policy for assets, to be honest with you. You know what? I know it. Come on. That's in the biblical way. For sure. If a donkey shows up on my Facebook page, you're out of here. I'm just saying. I don't want to clean up the poop.

3:05.0

Signs are saying what the hell did I create? All right. So do you ever? Do you ever wish that things were less complicated in life? Do you? I never thought it's got. I'm waiting for you to say, how do I say just to myself? Hang in there. It's going to get there.

3:30.0

Even if your job and your life are overcomplicated at a necessity, like launching a rocket. That's pretty complicated or maybe performing brain surgery.

3:41.0

You can simplify everything. Even if I'm thinking about my doctor right now, is it my doctor this week? A plus on a physical disorder. I'm 62, you know, totally equals, but it's close to it. Where your age. Don't you hate that for your age? You don't great. Stop it. Shut up. Be quiet. How did I get here? Anyway. He's got a bad day.

3:58.0

Because he deals with all kinds of stuff. And I was thinking about the folks who are out there in the front line, all the healthcare workers and all stuff you guys are going through. And I hear from you, by the way.

4:07.0

It's another complicated crazy life. It really is. And I know it's I know it's overwhelming. But even if that's the case.

4:42.0

That's not me. No, I'm really good at watching the rockets here out of a Kennedy Space Center here in the sunshine state.

4:49.0

But whatever you're doing, like what I do for living, I love what I do. The actions I take every single day are just inside of me. I just love doing it. It's great. That's not the issue. The issue.

5:03.0

It's not the issue of the people. And the results that are causing you to feel that way. Now people, there's not a whole lot we can do about that. No matter what you do, you're going to run into people. It just happens. As cool. People are cool. I love people.
