Chapter 1: What does it mean to crave more in life?
You might not realize it yet, but you want more. More to carry, more to solve, more to prepare for. And I know, I know, the brain goes, eh, I actually like the calm. I don't mind not having very much to worry about. I love these days with a clear schedule and no obligations. But the reality is your soul craves weight to carry. It just craves the right weight.
That's why so much of life is allocated to understanding and finding the things that matter to you. Because once you've done that, you can spend the next chapter pursuing those things. It's always been funny to me how easy it is to trick ourselves into thinking we don't need growth. We don't need exploration or adventure. We're fine where we are. Because doing nothing feels good in the moment.
No different than fast food or donuts and ice cream does. But it's stacking those things up every day those little nothings, those concessions, making their consumption a habit, you find yourself over time lost and living a fraction of the life that you're capable of living. Doing nothing feels good, because in the moment, easy feels good.
I mean, right now, if someone asked you, would you rather pick up 400 pounds or not, Easy one, right? The brain goes, I think not. Boom, easy W. Keep living your life. But you make that decision every day. All that short-term pleasure and escapism just means less strength and definition and growth than if you were to do the difficult thing. If you were to do the quote-unquote heavy lifting.
Now imagine the journey of betterment. Imagine choosing to lift that weight, real or metaphorical. Every day, well, I'll just lift the 400 pounds. I'll take the trip, accept the challenge, do X, Y, or Z, right? The incremental progress, it starts to excite you. You feel the momentum. You start wondering, okay, well, how can I be better at this?
You start pulling other aspects of your life into that orbit. Oh, maybe my diet and my sleep will help push me forward. Oh, maybe if I surround myself with people who have answers or who light me up, that'll help push me forward. You start seeing physical changes in the mirror. You start looking around and seeing your world changing.
You start believing as you earn that confidence day in and day out that you're not the type of person who just sits back and accepts reality. You have data. You have proof to your left and your right. You have proof in the mirror. You are the type of person who changes that which you are not willing to accept. You are an architect.
And just imagine with me the liberation of being on a journey that ignites your soul, where every day is a puzzle to solve, another chapter in the greatest story of a lifetime. Imagine reinforcing every day that you are the kind of person who changes things, who gets up and does the difficult thing, and because of that is ultimately powerful. Imagine choosing that weight of some sort.
The gym, the job, the business, the relationship, the creative idea, whatever it is.

Chapter 2: How does pressure influence personal growth?
Imagine putting that thing on your back and marching into the unknown. That's a trip that will change your life. Doing nothing, on the other hand, well, as I previously stated, seems to just string together temporary pleasures until you're forced to look around at the void that it's all created. To do nothing is, in fact, a decision. It is a choice. Choosing stagnation. Choosing what-ifs.
Choosing regret. And that'll be yours until you're forced to look into the mirror and acknowledge perhaps the greatest superpower you possess has been left on the shelf. At some point, you need to reach over and pick it up. And that's what it all means, right? That's what this message conveys. It means in you exists the capacity to change yourself and the world.
In you exists the capacity to do the incredible. I'll go as far as to say the miraculous. But you must first navigate beyond the quote-unquote nothing. You must first understand that procrastination and stagnation, they're killers. I'm going to use a cliche here because, well... Cliches seem to do their job of simplifying the complex. So let's take a big name.
We all know Michael Jordan, one of the best basketball players ever. We all know how great he was. We all know how hard he worked. But it's interesting to imagine him choosing nothing over the path he chose. It's almost unfathomable, right? Imagine him choosing the TV over basketball. he would have been depriving himself and the world of greatness.
Imagine him choosing video games over sculpting his body and improving his athletic performance, right? But he didn't do that. He chose to carry the weight. He chose to carry the burden of excellence. He wasn't perfect and no human beings are. but he was focused and willing to trade many of the common everyday pleasures we all know for greatness. Happy to.
And I believe you have MJ-level talent in you. And that's not fluff, kindergarten teacher, kumbaya stuff, right? We're all great at something. We can't all be NBA all-stars. But we all have our thing. And more often than not, that thing is just left alone. It's left untapped, undeveloped. For you, maybe it is athletics. Maybe it's not. Maybe it's debate. Maybe it's mathematics.
Maybe it's videography. Maybe it's, I mean, anything. Collecting, studying, selling baseball cards. Maybe it's poetry, data analysis. the beauty, the fashion industry, maybe it's cooking, maybe it's telling jokes. Like you get the idea, you have a thing, a proclivity to something that you both enjoy and you have a natural biological tendency and desire to pursue.
But are you willing to carry the weight required to make that thing special? I mean, to me, that's the question. Are you willing to be a megaphone to the world? Ah, but that won't be easy. Right? It's like I can picture it now. Hills to climb.

Chapter 3: Why is doing nothing detrimental to progress?
All the things I don't understand. The criticism. Who am I to go that far outside the norm? Well, you are the Michael Jordan of your pursuit. Should you accept it? Should you green light it? Because nothing, and I mean this, I believe it wholeheartedly, nothing hurts worse than being a Michael Jordan who traded the basketball for daily fast food and drinking four nights a week with his pals.
The world won't know what it was deprived of. How could it? But you will. And perhaps you already feel that. And if you do, good. That is your sign. because the past has nothing to do with where you can go now. You can make something special by deciding now, by cutting away the narratives and stories and limitations keeping you in place. So go, in this moment, towards your horizon,
Carry that weight like it matters, like it's everything. Because time will reveal that in fact, it wasn't. Life is about duality. It's about being grateful for the road behind you, but also excited and hungry for what's ahead. That balance is where growth lives. It's why we created AGNS. Always grateful, never satisfied.

Hope to see you there. In a way, the world is a mirror that reflects how you feel.
And if life is consistently mirroring back images that aren't ideal, Perhaps it's time to chip away, not at the world, but at yourself. It's time to work. And sometimes that's roll up your sleeves and be better work. Let's get up a little bit earlier work. It's at the gym or study or give more work. But sometimes it's acknowledging that if in this chapter of your life,
You find everything around you intimidating or too distant or out of reach. It's not because the world is too big, but rather you've let your own image get too small. It's the identity that needs the maintenance. We do things because we see ourselves as doers of those things, right? Soccer players play soccer. Writers write. Painters paint.
No one who's ever identified or introduced himself as a runner has ever broken a world deadlift record. No, runners do runner things. Bodybuilders do bodybuilder things. People who view themselves as small do small things, and people who see themselves as capable or strong, daring, adventurous, larger than life, well, you get the point.
We're out there overanalyzing all these details, trying to decipher code without realizing that we've already won or lost. You gave yourself permission to run 50 yards and then became Sherlock Holmes, trying to figure out why the world wouldn't let you reach yard 51. We go as far as we allow ourselves to go. We do as much as we allow ourselves to do. We become who we allow ourselves to be.
And I'm not saying the other variables don't matter. Of course they do. I'm saying over time those variables become blocks for us to build ourselves up or build walls around ourselves that keep us down. In one place. If the world feels bland, give yourself permission to seek out the beauty. Be someone who finds joy in life.

Chapter 4: What role does identity play in achieving goals?
But an adventure that would begin pulling back the curtains one by one on all that I'd walked right by. See, the first step to getting more is understanding you've been accepting less. That is where new roads present themselves, and it is that new road that I want for you. That understanding that so much will be given to those with the courage to ask.
So as you stand now, examine what you've been asking of life. My hunch is that perhaps it's not enough. Perhaps there's more. Perhaps a new chapter is waiting to begin and right now is when that first page gets turned. Joseph Campbell says that the cave you fear holds the treasure you seek. Why? Because to face the dancing shadows is to gain power over them.
It shows our mind that reality is far less scary than our perception of reality. That no chain or lock or wall can be more debilitating than the mental constraints we create by ourselves in our heads. It shows that the man guarding the door can just as easily be the one who unlocks it. And so what better a time than now to turn that key?
To step out and confront what was once nothing more than a vast emptiness. Jump into the cold water of opportunity that shocks us at first, creates pins and needles and discomfort, but ultimately...
provides a chance to acclimate to and navigate a foreign world you you just need to jump and not a mountain but a foot enough to start earning that confidence creating that self-trust believing in yourself so drive away to the understanding that there is always another level if you want it To the belief that nothing is outside the realm of possibility. Those boundaries can be redrawn.
To the idea that no one tells you who you are or what you're capable of. The world doesn't give orders, it reacts to who you decide to be. To the awareness that possible victories always outweigh in magnitude the possible defeat. to the realization that who you were yesterday is in no way related to who you can be tomorrow. All chapters end and you decide when that happens.
Everything else belongs in the rear view. Success is knowing this. It's believing it. Holding on when others would let go. Be reassured by the incremental nature of what's ahead. Zero miracles. Just the courage to begin. Just push the ball down the hill. Give life a chance to help you create momentum. No more thinking, worrying, procrastinating. Just go.
It's incredible how fast things change when we grant ourselves that freedom, when we see all of the world is open to us. But will you open your mind to that opportunity? I've said this before and I'll say it again, nothing is sure in life, but you are guaranteed to lose if you don't go. It's to let falsehoods and debilitating stories guide your way.
So stop letting these narratives tell you who you are and create reality with your feet. Why? Because you can, because you were meant for more, and because more starts now. If there's time, then there's time to turn things around. If there is a tomorrow, then there is hope today. The only have-to-be's in life are the ones we prop up and adhere to.

Chapter 5: How can you overcome the fear of taking risks?
You can get in that car and drive. You can walk away and begin something new. You can entertain that vision that's been conveniently tucked away in the back of your mind. Understand that to not go is fine, but it's a decision. And perhaps a decision you'll wish you made differently. And second, difficult today liberates you tomorrow. It's easier to observe.
It's easier to say how you wish things were. After all, stepping out into the fast-paced chaotic world is tough. It's scary, it's unpredictable, but it's where you find yourself and the path that's calling your name. It's beyond the pins and needles emerging as one jumps into the cold water that they're able to find that evolution. If there's time, then there's time to turn things around.
If there is a tomorrow, then there is hope today. The other day, I was sitting in Miami traffic, looking out the window, and it dawned on me. How interesting that human beings haven't solved for this. Like this is a major annoyance in a lot of people's lives. Now, we put human beings on a rocket ship. We've navigated them beyond the Earth's atmosphere.
We've landed them on the moon, but still are unable to effectively get around between 4 and 7 p.m. on weekdays. It's just kind of interesting to realize. Now, there are very practical reasons for this, sure. Not to mention people studying and invested in the problem. And I think most noteworthy, I'm not even saying one is more valuable than another. This is merely a thought experiment.
We get the results where we place our attention. We valued going to the moon. Because of this, humans walked on the literal moon. And we're so used to this having happened that its shock value isn't quite there, right? But for a species who 100 years ago was traveling by horse and buggy, it's pretty impressive.
And I just think it's a cool reminder that where we place our focus is where we'll get our positive results. We can change everything if we place a spotlight on it. That begs the question, where are you placing your spotlight? As John Maxwell said, nobody ever went up a hill on accident. There was intentionality, which gave life to focus and action, planning, growth.
We only evolve where we shine that spotlight, or as I've said in previous episodes or videos, what you water grows. I've certainly spent my fair share of time angry, annoyed by things that I've, by no coincidence, given zero effort to fixing. And when you do nothing to solve a problem, all you can cling to is the ability to complain about it.
If you're not putting energy and resources there, you most likely won't win. Some of the best advice I got from a friend a few years back was to highlight the things that matter to you and measure them. because this allows you to be aware, to be intentional with your action.
It's deciding which handful of things are going to be your quote-unquote moon landing, and then watching over them like they are precious. Let's say a goal of yours is to increase your net worth. If you're looking at your bank account every day, you're much more likely to make better monetary decisions than someone who keeps their finances in the dark because they hate thinking about it.
