Alright, alright, alright!
Here we go everybody!
Michael Gebben here and I'm super excited to be with you on another rockin' Wednesday.
So today, I wanna talk to you about...
Yes, this particular one is gonna be kind of synced up with my shirt today.
I know I wear a different shirt each and every single week, for any of you wondering as well
on all the old videos if you go below in the description here on Youtube, it usually has
or it should all have the link to where I got that shirt.
Unfortunately, most of them are from Sevenly which I really, really support.
They only have the shirt available for 7 days and I'm usually wearing it long after the
campaign has ended.
If you guys want to check out any of the shirts, they are available below.
In all the descriptions, there's a link.
Today, this one does sync up.
It's the "Forgive & Forget."
Here's the thing.
So many of you out there (including myself), as I always say, these videos are just as
much reminders for myself sometimes as they are for you guys.
So forgive & forget...
so many of us, we have these things in our lives that happened in our past and to me,
things in the past, well one, they're just that.
They're in the past and you can't control them.
You can't change it.
You can't do anything with it anymore.
It has happened and it is done.
But what some of us do have the control over and we have the choice is that whether or
not we're going to let that thing in the past that happened impact our lives in the present.
I was just talking to my buddy who's here in town and we talked about something that
happened in his past specifically that was really, really affecting him hardcore for
a while.
Then he got some advice from some different people and they were telling him, "Do not
let this person, this incident, this thing that happened take control over your mind
because that person's winning.
That thing is winning."
That will negatively impact the present and the future if you let that thing in the past
continually take up space in your mind.
I was just recently just in an event with a lot of high-level performers.
One of the speakers at this event, he mentioned that there's a study that there's only so
much creativity and massive action that we can take in a day.
There's only so much brain power, only so much available in there that we can really
be super productive in a given day.
You'll find that what you might consider "average" performers are people who might not get a
lot done, typically let all these millions of random things always affect them whether
it's the news, whether it's some random person who pulled out in front of them with their
car and now all of a sudden, the rest of the day, they're worried about that person and
cursing about the person that pulled out in front of them.
That's all they worry about.
These high-level performers, not that that they never affects them, not that they don't
have days where somebody pulls out in front of them and that really irritates them and
impacts their whole day, but more times than none, they have so much control and awareness
over that that they're not gonna let those little things bother them.
For me for example, just with that one, nine times out of ten, someone can pull out in
front of me and I'm not gonna let it burn up the rest of my day.
I just smooth it over.
It moves and I keep moving.
It's done.
It's over with.
What are those things that happened to you in the present that you can forget about and
I mean literally forget about and they don't bother you at all?
But what are those things that maybe happened in the past that you can forgive?
If it's a person, maybe you need to actually forgive them in person or over the phone or
something.
But maybe you don't need to, like that's not necessary.
Sometimes you can just say, "I forgive you."
You just say it out loud and forgive that person.
Does not mean that literally, that you will forget that thing that happened because sometimes,
those things are so monumental in your life?
You're not gonna actually just forget them entirely and they'll go away and they'll never
enter your mind ever again.
More than likely, they will enter your mind again but when you have that awareness and
when you do your best to consciously forgive and forget, to leave that out of your brain
as much as possible, honestly that will take some conscious effort, some awareness and
some choices that potentially, depending on what that is, that you really do everything
in your power to avoid anything that will bring in that up and spite that into your
mind each and every single day.
For me, just even with the news, it has nothing to do with my past but these are things that
are happening and quite frankly, 99% of the time, I have no control over.
I can't change.
There's nothing I can do.
Instead of me turning on the news and seeing all these people getting blown away or all
these things happening, more than likely aren't anywhere near where I live or whatever and
letting that constantly weigh on my mind so that everyday I'm worried if I go outside
I'm gonna get shot or this bad thing is gonna happen to me or whatever, you just remove
it.
Tim Ferriss, when I read his book and I probably mentioned this in past videos, that idea of
a low information diet.
That idea that you just remove these things that really don't matter and you focus on
what does.
The thing recently for me that I've been really taking to heart is this idea of ultimately
focusing on your strength.
Recently, I had a test with the Behavioral Resource Group and you guys gotta check it
out.
I had this test done and it really analyzed, Steve did the test and analyzed the Disc profile
and it brought so much awareness to me.
One of the big things that he identified with me for that that applies to all these stuff
that we're talking about is that ultimately, he said that a lot of people say to him, "Why
are you passing up this money?
Why are you passing up this, why are you doing this opportunity?"
Because he knows himself so well, he says, "You need to focus on your strengths so much
above and beyond your weaknesses.
You need to live and die by the fact that you live by your strengths and you will not
let your weaknesses take over."
When he passes this up, he says, "I didn't pass up an opportunity.
I passed up a disaster."
My thing for all of you is you pass up these disasters.
Pass up these things.
Forget them.
Let them go and focus your life on the things that matter, the things that you can control
today so that the things that happened in your past, that you forgive them.
You do your best to get them out of your mind.
Forget about them as much as possible so that right now, today, in the present, you are
able to control the things that you can and make great choices so that you can positively
impact today and positively impact your future, so that you can have an awesome, awesome life
that you're excited about and you're full of energy so that you're not getting up every
day letting something that happened in your past or letting something that you cannot
control impact your life.
Rock and roll my friends!
I truly appreciate each and every single one of you and again, I don't say that lightly.
I truly mean that.
All of you guys are just so amazing.
All the subscribers are just freaking exploding here recently and it's just awesome to see
the excitement and the positive comments, the messages, things from all of you and how
these videos are impacting your life.
One of the things I like to consider myself that I've seen now is for me, I don't take
credit for any of that.
Honestly, I consider myself kind of a jump starter.
All I love to see is that honestly, these videos, these audios with my GEBBS Juice if
you check it out, they just give you that jump start to live a freaking amazing life
where you know truly that anything is possible.
