Alright, alright, alright…
alright, alright, alright.
Hey everybody!
Michael Gebben here and I’m super excited to be with you on another rockin’ Wednesday.
This is a special edition for a new buddy of mine, Paul Reddick.
I just recently got to meet him at an event I was at for my good friend, Brian Moran.
People paid $5000 per person to be there.
Paul came and he brought the fire.
He actually got me this rock & roll shirt which I wanted to wear… which speaking of
shirts, this will probably be the last one that I wear that’s just random and from
anybody because last week, the “Anything is possible” shirt, it went well.
If you guys didn’t check it out, you can go into last week’s video but we have that.
Starting Oct 1st, we’re going to be bringing out our own special edition shirts each and
every single week.
We’ll talk about that more in future videos.
Let’s get to a message from my man, Paul today.
He talked about being on the right side of the ball.
For all of you sports fans out there, this will easily relate.
If you’re not a sports fan, I think you’ll still get it and I’ll have a few other examples
for you as well.
Let’s talk about being at the right side of the ball.
This is something that really has hit home for me lately because I’ve been really analyzing
my gifts, my talents in my full, where I really need to be focusing my energy.
This gives you an example of Peyton Manning.
If some of you know Peyton Manning, he is a quarter back in the NFL.
When it comes to football and Peyton Manning, he could be arguably the best person on the
field when he’s the quarter back.
But he can very, very quickly go to the worst player on the field.
How can he do that?
Some of you might already know the answer.
Some of you might be going, “How can he be the worst person on the field?”
How can he go from the best to the worst like that?
Well, he can go to the worst if he’s going outside of his unique ability, out of his
unique gift, the thing he’s focused on all his time and energy on which is being a quarter
back.
If he goes to the defense, he’s not gonna be the best anymore.
Why?
Because that’s not where his gift is, that’s not where his talent is, that’s not where
he spent all his time and energy growing.
When you put him on defense, everybody’s gonna run the ball to him because they know
he’s the weakest link.
You see, you’ve got to surround yourself with amazing people.
Let me give you an example of Bono on U2.
This is another of Paul’s example.
You see Bono, he needs to stay being Bono.
He needs to stay singing and writing while he has other people make everything else work.
There’s a time when Bono still was Bono.
He knew what his gift was but he had to do things that he didn’t like.
Ha had to do things that may be he didn’t want to do but he still knew what his gift
was.
He still knew what his talent was and he stayed focus on that.
As they grew, they found other people, other team players to help keep Bono where he needed
to be.
You see, he ended up talking about a video that they showed where at a concert, it was
three days to put on one of their concerts now.
It shows this timelapse video.
Paul says when he was showing this to one of his seminars, he said, “Look, Day 1 no
Bono. Day 2 no Bono, Day 3 no Bono.”
Until he came out and he performed.
But he performed for a couple of hours and then he went off while all of these other
people tore down to go set up at the next location.
Some of you might say, “That’s great.
They’ve got tons of money.
They can have all these people.”
But like I said, he started with nothing.
He built up.
But, the big thing is, how can you find that unique gift, that unique ability, that thing
that you should be focusing your energy on?
While I say it’s screw focusing on your weaknesses.
So many people tell you to focus on your weakness.
No, no, no… do not focus on your weakness.
Focus on your strength.
Focus on that natural gift you have, that thing that just came easy to you.
Some of you, in school, you might have been really great in Math, but then all these other
subjects, you suck.
That was just difficult.
That was just one example but for me, let’s pull it into the videos here.
For me, at the beginning of the year, I tried to write.
I tried to type and write something for 30 straight days.
By the end, I was like, “You know what, this writing thing, it’s just not for me.”
I struggled every single day.
It was difficult.
That doesn’t mean there’s not gonna be things that are difficult that you can’t
get better at.
When you start something, you’re not gonna be where you’ll be five years, ten years,
twenty years down the road.
There’s just that thing that’s just fun, it’s easy.
For me, it’s video right now.
I’m in the zone right now.
I don’t have to spend hours and days and weeks preparing to do one of these videos.
In fact, typically, I put on a shirt, I think about something, I walk back and forth for
about 10, 20 minutes at most and then I get in front of this and I do it typically in
one take.
Sometimes, I screw up but typically in one take.
Others of you out there, that’ll be like, if somebody kept telling you, “You gotta
do video.
You gotta do video.”
And you’re like, “Okay.
I don’t wanna do video but I’m gonna do video.”
And then you just keep struggling and fumbling and you don’t like it and it doesn’t come
easy.
But you think, “Well everybody told me I need to do video.”
That would be like if Peyton Manning, everybody told him, “Well you know what, you need
to be on defense.”
But he was just throwing those balls and he was just hitting the mark.
It just came easy to him.
And people said, “No, no, no.
Quarterback, that’s not for you.”
And he went did something else.
He might have struggled and he might not become known as he did today for what he’s accomplished.
Just like with the videos, if I kept thinking, “Well people told me to write,” so I keep
writing even though I don’t enjoy it.
It doesn’t come easy but people told me I need to do it.
So for you listening here, what is that thing that com easier to you, that you enjoy.
What is that?
It might not come to you immediately.
You might not know but if you don’t start trying things, if you don’t start doing
things, if you don’t start becoming aware, I’ve always said that ultimately, my videos,
I want you to become aware of things because when you become aware of things, you can then,
you can then realize what your gifts are, what your talents are, what the things you
are or should be doing, what things you love to do are, the possibilities, the opportunities
that are out there.
But if you’re not aware, you’ll never find them.
So start to think, what are those things that you do that you might not even look at it
as an actual talent.
It's just something that comes naturally.
Just think about that.
Like I said, for me, it's something that's really, really hit home recently because I
realized I'm not great at everything.
In fact, most people that you look up to whether it's some celebrity, movie actor, athlete,
whatever it is, whoever it is, more than likely, they're great at that thing you see them at.
But they're more than likely not that great at very many other things.
More than likely they suck at a lot of other things.
We can't be great at everything.
You might not be great at everything but I'm sure, I know 100% that you have a gift inside
of you, something that once you find it, and you keep developing it and you keep staying
with that, that thing that you're natural at, it can blossom into something amazing
but you gotta find it.
You gotta try to find it.
You gotta be aware of it.
You gotta be looking for it.
That way, you can do it.
So, I mean, that's the thing for me.
I'm not great at everything and I've learned that if I keep getting rid of all the things
that are not n my zone, that I can really explode.
That's what it's all about.
That's what I want.
I've been getting rid of all these different things in my life.
Yeah, they're opportunities.
Yeah, they're things that I can pursue.
It's not that I'm not capable.
It's not that I couldn't do it but it doesn't come easy.
Even if other people are telling me to do it, that doesn't mean that I should.
That doesn't mean that you should.
I'm staying in my zone and when I'm there, I'm gonna find the people that fill in my
weaknesses and I will explode bigger than ever thought possible.
I believe that and I know that.
You know, every day I grow and I want you to grow, each and every single day.
But you've got to start somewhere.
I'm gonna link up my first blog video on Youtube.
It's back in 2010.
I did 3 or 4 of them and then I gave it up.
It wasn't until a year ago, last year when I started this again.
I was a whole different person.
You watch that video.
I'm gonna link it up right here.
You can click it.
You're gonna see I'm not the same person but I am in that video.
I'm this physically, the same person but right here, I'm different because in that video,
you'll see that I was weak.
I didn't have the belief and the energy that I have now.
But I had it inside of me and it was something that I started then and I continue to do off
camera.
I continue to grow more mentally so I got back infront of that camera last year on video
one for here on the Anything is Possible channel.
You see a different person.
You see a different person today than you did on that video because each and every day
I grow.
That's what it's all about my friends.
I truly, truly appreciate it.
We're gonna keep growing each and every single week here.
I hope that you find, you have that light bulb moment to find that gift and to realize,
to focus only on what comes naturally to you, not all these other crap, not all these junk
that people tell you to do.
Focus on your gift.
Focus on your talent.
You will find it.
And then when you do, let go of the rest.
Surround yourself with people who can lift you up.
Surround yourself with people who can fill in your weaknesses.
When you do that, amazing things can happen.
I truly appreciate you guys.
