CANCER of INACTION - Go Find Your Mini ME! - #SundaySermon - 049

Go find your mini me is what I'm really trying to say here guys go find your mini me Because this right here guys this mini me this mini me that I searched for and I got Took a lot of work and a fucking flight That shit ain't cheap I I built many startups most of them the fail so Bitcoin is exactly the place that I like to be we're gonna end it right there So guys I've been journaling here You guys gotta do this stuff man. You got a journal Is just one of the best ways to just get Shit out of your brain Because we're so much in our own brain. Are we not? Are we not are we not just so much in our own brain? I decided not to to create a a podcasty Uh format here and I've actually the This

these pages are blank and the reason these pages are blank guys is I just wanted to turn on the camera and talk to you guys You see I was inspired I Was inspired guys I was inspired and put my put in my notebooks away I was inspired But I also Really want to continue watching A show on Netflix Okay There's a show and I'm not gonna talk about it because now it'll get you off track But there's a show in Netflix that I I began watching The first episode not so good Ah, it's not enough data second episode They break you down this way guys. That's how they break you down right third episode. I was I was hooked guys. I was hooked third episode. I'm hooked now. I'm in the second season and You just you you fuck You just want to know you

just want to know what happens next right And so I was just inspired by a couple things that I was reading here and I was inspired by a couple things I was reading online about a future of of blockchain technology and I started journaling I started journaling and I was like oh man I Really want to watch the next episode of this show This is the tension of life the tension of life is to take It is is to not take the opportunities to put in work It's hard I want to watch this fucking Netflix show guys. I really do and like I'm not even sitting down. I'm standing up because It's the situation has created this much tension and I don't know if you guys ever struggle with this Maybe this is just me and but now you get to hear me talk about

this struggle is like I get inspired and I want to work But there's entertainment opportunities on the other side right And even I struggle even I struggle And so I thought of this phrase instead of writing down what I was inspired about which I'm gonna get to after this But I thought of a phrase is the phrase that came to mind was the cancer of inaction the cancer of an action You see Let me ask you a very simple question, okay See this wood you're listening to podcast. I'm tapping on the desk This wood guys if If if I if I took this wood or it doesn't actually doesn't matter this wood Is alive guys did you know that did you know that this wood is alive? You say we're peter. It's not alive. It's dead right? It's chopped up trees. You're wrong, sir You're

cancer of an action You see Let me ask you a very simple question, okay See this wood you're listening to podcast. I'm tapping on the desk This wood guys if If if I if I took this wood or it doesn't actually doesn't matter this wood Is alive guys did you know that did you know that this wood is alive? You say we're peter. It's not alive. It's dead right? It's chopped up trees. You're wrong, sir You're wrong, Madame. This wood is alive How do we know We know very simply basics We know that if we leave this wood here unattended unattended by human hands and just let nature do its thing now if we took this thing outside nature would do its thing on this piece of wood faster, but Doesn't matter whether it's inside or outside this piece of wood over time if untouched

by human hand it will Break down It will break down it will turn into dust over many many many years Can we all agree on that and so if It will turn to dust After many many years then that means this thing is alive that means This thing is alive. This thing is alive. This wallets alive You say well, what do you what's your definition of a live peter? The definition of a live to me It is it moving You see everything in the world is vibrating everything in the world is moving right you learn about molecules You learn about what happens when they become a solid or liquid or gas Doesn't matter if it's a solid liquid or gas. It's always moving Right and so the entire universe the entire flat plane that we live on guys is moving all the time Okay, that's

what I Define as alive. It's all moving Everything is moving everything that you see behind me everything that you don't see in front of me It's all moving and it's all moving and changing into different states slowly But everything's changing and everything's moving everything to me therefore is alive and the cancer of an action Is what I thought of the cancer of an action Is to act like you're not moving To act Sedentary to be sedentary to have a mind that's dead Numb to the world the mind that has lost its imagination a mind that is shut off a mind that is clamped down a mind that is constrained That's what I'm talking about Is when the mind is dead and the mind is just in a consumption state Which is consuming information. That's what TV does to us guys. That's what entertainment does to

us It puts us in a very similar pattern of brain waves and brain activity as pretty like you're dosed and off like you're sleeping you're just Sucking shit in through your two nunes to your three or two eyeballs guys And so the cancer of an action Is to constantly choose To be in a state of non-movingness of mind Instead of being an individual of action everything is alive everything is moving you should too and I think that is How I overcome The cancer of an action is that I realized the world is moving Whether I choose to or not mentally and sit there right there, which is super comfortable And I hold my phone up for 58 fucking minutes and watch this next episode like I can do that I can go over there I can sit down and enjoy an episode for 58 minutes

alive everything is moving you should too and I think that is How I overcome The cancer of an action is that I realized the world is moving Whether I choose to or not mentally and sit there right there, which is super comfortable And I hold my phone up for 58 fucking minutes and watch this next episode like I can do that I can go over there I can sit down and enjoy an episode for 58 minutes and as the world is going as a world is moving as Everything is moving and everything's alive and everything is moving and changing states I am choosing to sit there and be a blob now Am I knocking on entertainment and having time you know downtime? No What I'm saying is when you are faced with the opportunity to consume Or the opportunity to act and you know it's

in your better interest to act because maybe there's something in your gut that rises up It says man, I got to do this man, it's time man, it's been too long man Really should go Right that's what I'm talking about when that gut feeling when that gut idea when that gut Thing rises up and it's telling you to do to do Getting to him with the world because the world is changing the world is doing the world is going Whether you are not you know One of the things that I there's many things that I love about my international experiencing International experience Living abroad and working abroad and traveling abroad for work Not in I didn't do a lot of vacation traveling My traveling for work took me everywhere everywhere I needed to go everywhere I wanted to go But one of the things that

I love about international experience is the fact that it proves to you A very interesting alternate reality And the alternate reality I think for most people is an assumption that this reality exists Right if you don't have any international experience you assume That country exists you seen it on TV You you have sufficient proof that this Thing this nation this country this place Exists, but you don't have any True proof that exists You say you say what really yeah, you don't because you've never been there All right, we're moving into a world where everything's fake Fake news It's been fake for a long time guys. It's just a show. It's just a show Okay But we live in a world where what we see is not reality So one of the things that I love about my international experience is I have been able to

prove to my Self that these realities exist I know what business looks like in Tokyo. I know what business looks like in Seoul I know what business looks like in Beijing. I know what business looks like in Singapore. I know what business looks like in I've been all over I know business looks like in London. I know business looks like in Switzerland I know the business looks like in Germany. Oh, I love Germany guys Spent a lot of time in Putzdown Just outside of Oberlin man Potstem guys, great place. Great food. But man, I have been able to validate truthfully that these alternate realities exist and things are moving. Businesses happen and people are doing shit. Can I tell you a story? Y'all don't know this. Actually, I'm gonna stop it right now and I'm gonna bring it down. Hold on a sec. Alright, I'm

like in Germany. Oh, I love Germany guys Spent a lot of time in Putzdown Just outside of Oberlin man Potstem guys, great place. Great food. But man, I have been able to validate truthfully that these alternate realities exist and things are moving. Businesses happen and people are doing shit. Can I tell you a story? Y'all don't know this. Actually, I'm gonna stop it right now and I'm gonna bring it down. Hold on a sec. Alright, I'm back guys. Notice anything different? Look at this dude, guys. Look at this guy. Look at this guy. This right here, guys, is my very own 3D printed model of me from... Shit. F- 4... 5 years ago? I think? But guys, look at this detail. Like, no other 3D... Look at that, guys. Look at that detail on those jeans. Look at that ass. Look at those, look at

those, a D to shoes, guys. Look at those, a D to shoes. Look at the sexuality. Look at this thing, man. Isn't it awesome? Isn't this mini me? Damn, it's huge back then. I got this in Berlin, guys. I got this in Berlin. I was in a transition period between a startup and I had an awesome opportunity. I was looking into 3D printing. This was 5, 6 years ago, guys. I was looking into 3D printing and I came across a company in Berlin. That was the first company to do the most high definition, high tech 3D printing of a human ever done before. And you know me, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig. Get information. See how I can get in contact with them, finally get in contact with them. No website up yet. Actually, they're just in the process of actually building their website

so that I could come in soon, I think. Splash screen there. I said, I'm so interested in what you're doing. I need to know. I'm so curious. I'm from Atlanta. I'm a startup guy. I'm an investor. I'm a venture capitalist. I'm really curious about this. I know that I don't know if you're accepting people. It seems like you're not yet, but I would love to come out to Berlin and I'd love to see you guys and talk with you guys about this business that I was really curious about at the time. And so just some of the coolest things happened. Long story short, they said, hell yeah, we'd love to bring you out. And I was going to be the first person to test out their new software and their new rigs. And I'm not going to say anything because some of it might be

proprietary. But I mean, when I got in this thing, it was like six years ago, five years ago. When I got in this thing, guys, it was like out of this world, like, gnarly, gnarly stuff. And then obviously, like, the quality, the quality, guys, I mean, the quality. And so, but I have to have to have to add this. So I got there, right? So I fly a fly under Berlin. I got there. And I don't have a whole lot of time. I mean, I'm flying and I think I timed it so that when I flew in by that afternoon, I'd be in that area for like a two. I think it was like a two o'clock appointment or something like that. Did I have lunch? I forget. Anyway, so it comes to pass that when I get to this nondescript door in some place,

a fly under Berlin. I got there. And I don't have a whole lot of time. I mean, I'm flying and I think I timed it so that when I flew in by that afternoon, I'd be in that area for like a two. I think it was like a two o'clock appointment or something like that. Did I have lunch? I forget. Anyway, so it comes to pass that when I get to this nondescript door in some place, in Berlin, it's like, is there a business really here? Knock on it. Loan behold, as I get to that door. And I can tell you this, I had a little coffee break because I didn't want to get there too early. It's like it was the appointment. It was at two o'clock and I was like, they're at one thirty. And I was like, I don't want to, you

know, I don't want to be that dude, right? And it's like, hey, I'm here early. Let me bother you. So I sat down and I got coffee. Food is so good out there. Man, I love working out there for clients in Putsdam. But I sat there at a coffee shop, got a coffee in like some pastry. And it was just such a wonderful moment to be alive. Just see the world around you. Just see people watch for thirty minutes. For thirty minutes is just people that, you know, they're all big in German. This is a different world, right? You know, I love seeing that. I love experiencing a different culture and being able to soak in those sites and those feelings and those sounds and have a true validity that these places exist. But anyway, so anyway, I spent my thirty minutes at the coffee

shop, go to the door, knock on it. And as I'm knocking on it, this other dude starts walking up. He's a reporter from like TechCrunch Italy. Can you hear it? TechCrunch France or something like that. You can look it up, guys. You can look it up. It's all in another language though. He was a reporter that was also in a very similar mission. He was interested in the rise of 3D praying and the rise of retail opportunities and all this stuff. And he was one of those dudes that was going to be there too. So I was supposed to be the first person on the planet to get this. But you know what? I let the reporter go first. I let him go first for the story. And he included me in the story because I'm an Atlanta entrepreneur that was also there. So I

was second. But so I just wanted to boost his story there. So I was second in the world getting this. I just love the people of Germany. I just love that culture. I love the food. I just love their hospitality. I love the way that they treat foreigners. I think it's a great people. It's a great people. And they're smart people. A ton of smart people. If I told you, if I told you, the client that I worked for, that actually a huge contingency in Berlin of engineers developed 200 of these suckers in this beautiful place, this beautiful office building, which was kind of one of those old office buildings from back in the old ward days or whatever. And so that's my story of how I got one of the coolest, look at, I had torn jeans at the time with the whole, with

I told you, if I told you, the client that I worked for, that actually a huge contingency in Berlin of engineers developed 200 of these suckers in this beautiful place, this beautiful office building, which was kind of one of those old office buildings from back in the old ward days or whatever. And so that's my story of how I got one of the coolest, look at, I had torn jeans at the time with the whole, with the pre holes in them. I mean, I was, you know, you go through those phases, right guys? But look at that, look at that detail, man. Amazing. Look at that face. The face, they look like me, guys. They look like me. That would be more I've lost like 20 pounds from this dude. And that's my story of that. But in action, in action. I mean, this is

actually, this, what I just told you is me fully taking on the realities of action. Don't have, don't allow for the cancer. The cancer of an action. Take all the view. If you're inspired to do something like you're inspired to go, go, you're, you're interested in, you're inspired about a technology that you're so curious about. And then you dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, and you find the resources and then you find people that can get you into it and check it out and do all that stuff. Don't let the cancer of an action remove opportunities, world, world opportunities. Like, don't want to Germany, go in a Berlin. Validating that those alternate realities work. Those alternate realities exist. And we're, you know, this huge whole spiel of all of this was really one simple point. One thing that helps me get through the cancer of an

action is thinking to my times and working in Berlin, working in Potsdam, working in Germany, working in Japan, working in Korea, working in China, like working in all over the place because those motherfuckers are working while I'm sleeping. Those guys are grinding while I'm chilling, like literally because a lot of them are really serious about their startups. They're really serious about the work that they do. And so while I'm literally sleeping, they are literally working. And so not to say that I need to be grind in 20 hour days on the time. But be active, go for it, do it. Go find your mini me is what I'm really trying to say here, guys. Go find your mini me because this right here, guys, this mini me, this mini me that I searched for and I got, took a lot of work and a fucking

flight. That shit ain't cheap. I hope you enjoyed, I hope you enjoyed this episode, guys. Smash the like button, subscribe, share this. Have a great day.
