Eliminate the choice that is sabotaging you from becoming the best person you can be. This is particularly dangerous if you've got a comfortable life, and most of us do. Even though we may not be where we want to be financially, and we may not be living our full potential, we're comfortable. We've got a roof over our head. We've got a little bit of money in the bank account. We've got food on the table. We've got access to the Internet. And so we use those things as a reason for not being the greatness that we actually are. I know there's greatness inside of you. There's greatness inside of each and every one of us. That's why we came. You've imagined greatness for yourself. You have a vision for what you're capable of. It may be something that you're actively pursuing right now, but choice is preventing you from being in more consistent action. So for me and all of that, I surrender my plan to what I call the great way maker, my higher power. Welcome to a changed mind. A journey into the topics that matter to you most. From the neuroscience and spirituality of mindset and personal growth. To groundbreaking strategies for health, wealth, and relationships.

You're in the right place. Welcome to a changed mind.
Hey, it's David. Welcome to a changed mind. A sanctuary for your spirit. A place where each and every episode I remind you of the certainty of the goodness of the future. I'm your friend, your host, your guide, David Bayer. In this episode, I want to talk about the one thing that is holding you back from more money. Growing your business, improving in your career, being more disciplined. Everything that's required to achieve your full potential. And that thing is choice. You are operating as if you have a choice. And when you can eliminate that option, when you have no choice, you'll create extraordinary results in your life. So, I'm gonna start by telling you a story. I have a private client who lost his son to suicide. And that was actually the way he came into my world. As only I can imagine his life was devastated as a result of the loss of his son. In seeking some sort of emotional stability and finding tools to move forward, he showed up at one of my live events, got into our work, and he's been in our community for the last several years, and this work has transformed his life. And as a result of that, he became certified in our work, and he's been incorporating it into the leadership development company that he's launched. So we've been working together privately over the course of the last nine months, and we've come up with a fantastic plan for him to grow his business. But he has not been taking consistent action. So we started to unpack it on one of our last calls. And one of the things that he told me was that a million people were going to know his son's name. The son that he lost, his name is Marcus. And he said, I'm doing this work because I want to bring emotional intelligence, emotional resiliency to people in the environments where they work so that I can support them, so that some of them can be saved from the same type of tragic loss that I experienced with my son

This is particularly dangerous if you've got a comfortable life, and most of us do. Even though we may not be where we want to be financially, and we may not be living our full potential, we're comfortable. We've got a roof over our head. We've got a little bit of money in the bank account. We've got food on the table. We've got access to the Internet. And so we use those things as a reason for not being the greatness that we actually are. I know there's greatness inside of you. There's greatness inside of each and every one of us. That's why we came. You've imagined greatness for yourself. You have a vision for what you're capable of. It may be something that you're actively pursuing right now, but choice is preventing you from being in more consistent action. It may be an idea or a vision that you had several years ago that you've temporarily given up on because life feels too hard or too complex or there's too many things going on. So for me and all of that, I surrender my plan to what I call the great way maker. Right? My higher power. And you don't have to use God. My client is using his son Marcus, to see things clearly. So what can you use for your own leverage to take away this dangerous choice that you believe you have? Is it God? Is it someone who sacrificed something for you and you want to honor that? Is it knowing that you have a vision and that if you have the vision, it was given to you and therefore it's possible. Because ultimately you have to give up the choice so you have no option, even when things get tough. And again, that doesn't mean we have to hustle and we have to grind. There are times when we should rest. Achieving your greatness is not a do it yourself project. Other people synchronicities support will show up. But if we're going to continue to move forward when things don't go the way we expect it to and when challenges come up, we have to have something that keeps us going. And the one thing that'll prevent you from moving forward is this thing called choice. Give up the choice and you gain everything. And even more so than you could possibly imagine. So I hope this is helpful for you. Not a lot of people are having this conversation, and most people are getting tripped up because of this invisible block called choice.
