Why You Feel Stuck — What Personal and Spiritual Growth Require to Finally Move Forward

for more, knowing something is missing. Then this podcast is for you, so here's your host, Joe Mitagon. Hello, and welcome to We. My name is Joe Mitagon, and I'm the host of the Wepodcast. I want to welcome everybody here tonight. I've got a quick question for you. Have you ever felt stuck in life?

I mean, literally, have you ever just felt like life has stopped moving? Like, no matter what you do, you can't move forward, no matter what you do, you can't figure stuff out. Have you ever just felt stuck? Well, tonight that's our topic, and I want to welcome

everybody here. You know, I always like to start off by sharing, you know, a little bit

“about myself, and I want people to know that the truth is I'm just a guy. I'm a guy like you.”

I'm not a therapist. I'm not a researcher. I'm certainly not a doctor. I'm none of those things. I'm a guy. I'm a guy just like you on the same path as you. And the reason the Wepodcast is becoming so popular is because, quite honestly, I simply just share from my experience strength and hope. I'm not going to tell you what to do. I'm going to share with you what I did, and, you know, like my last episode that's called "Why You Fill Inxious All the Time?" I have to tell you.

It was kind of embarrassing for me to share my stories at the end of that one. Well, I wish I could say today that the stories at the end are less embarrassing, but they're not. It's just, my life was not good. It was crazy, quite honestly. And my role here, quite honestly, is not to do things that are comfortable for Joe, but to share my hope, that if I can heal so can you. So, if you've ever felt stuck before, or you feel stuck right now,

the first thing I need you to know is that there's nothing wrong with you.

Stuck is all part of the process of the spiritual awakening that's happening around the world and around the globe, quite honestly. We are growing into a new us. And each one of us have a path that we're on and sometimes that path rides smoothly, sometimes it rides dark, sometimes it rides great, and sometimes it just feels like it's not going anywhere. Well, today's episode is just that. Why you feel stuck? And the type of personal growth that

it truly requires to move beyond stuck. So, I'm glad you're here. Welcome to the Weepodcast. If you're new, welcome. If you're here and have been one of the thousands of people that have supported the Weepodcast for the past 150, some odd days, thank you. It's because of all of you,

“we're creating an amazing momentum. And why is momentum important? It's because the truth is”

the more people that can hear podcasts like the Weepodcast, the more people are waking up. And my goal, my hope, my desire, quite honestly, is to simply mirror back to the 67% of society. That's identifying themselves as spiritual versus religious and better on some type of spiritual path. So, welcome. And I have to tell you straight up, if you can make it through one of my podcast, you are absolutely a spiritual warrior. If you made it through my last podcast, and if you haven't

listened to my last podcast, it's a good one. Why you feel anxious all the time? That one, I have to tell you. If you haven't listened to it, and if you have, I'm going to suggest that you listen to it several times, because there's some nuggets in there that took me years and years and years to learn, but I've having people that kind of connect to things pretty quickly and can shift their life from angst filled to decent, to glory in pretty short amounts of time, because the world's different.

People are waking up faster. The support out there is grander. The intensity of awakening is

that a rate that's never happened in mankind ever before. And you and I and people like us,

“we're on the front side of that awakening. That's why I call each of us a spiritual warrior.”

You're here because something in you grander than you brought you here. I'm glad you're here. I hope you keep bringing people back. I hope you subscribe. Of course, I hope you visit wepodgast.global and sign up for our email list. We're going to be doing live events where I want everybody all on. I want to meet you. I want people to meet me. I want to get face to face with people over time. But tonight's topic of why are we stuck? I think it's important. And

I hear so many things out there. And I love the people out there that have massive audiences and are doing great things and give wonderful advice. But the challenge is so very often. The advice is go get them tiger. Get off your fat ass and go do something. And I'm like, yeah, no kidding, Dick Tracy. If somebody could just get off their backside and move forward, don't you think you'd have already done that? And you know, it was literally just listening to a podcast the other

day. Briefly, I learned the concept of the real. You know, I've said that another podcast that I'm probably the only person on the planet that didn't know what a real was. My kids make fun of me unmercifully. But I know what reals are now. And you know, I listen to a real in a particular woman said, you know what? It's time to move your career forward or your life forward. And I went through a period of time, not long ago, where I had to transcend my career. And I, you know,

“was confused. And then I just went out and did it. So you need to go do it. I'm thinking to myself.”

Now, the problem is these people don't tell the rest of the story. This particular person,

she left the multi seven eight nine figure income career. She left the career that had a global audience already. She already had a big support system behind her money more than month. You go on and on. So yeah, I get it. She had to change your career. But was she ever really stuck? Maybe. But I'm not talking about that kind of stuck. I'm talking about the rest of us. I'm talking about the rest of us who look at our life and say, what the hell happened? I'm talking about the

rest of us that have been working our entire lives. And we've got two months of income in the bank. I'm talking about the rest of us that have been in jobs for 20 years because we're afraid to move on. I'm talking about the rest of us who are confused because we literally believe it should be better. It could be better. It needs to be better. But no matter what we frick and do, we can't make it better. I'm talking to us because that was me. When I started this path, I had nothing.

Literally zero. Not a little bit zero. I was as close to homeless as you can be. And I say close to homeless. I lived on a three inch mattress, a three inch piece of foam in an unfinished basement by the grace of God because of body and mind rented the finish side. And let me sneak in. So, are most of you starting there? No, but I can guarantee you 99.9999 percent of you on this podcast today. Aren't starting at the place where you got more money than

month. You're in your mid-bifthes, you're starting a new career and you've got the globe behind you. You're not there either. So, for all of us in the middle, I want to talk about stock.

“And what is stock? What is the sensation of stock? And the sensation of stock, quite honestly,”

is when we're sitting in a place, when we're standing around, when we're in this energy pattern, that no matter what we do, we can't seem to move forward. We seem to be chasing our tail. We seem to be looking at the world and no matter what we do, we can't change what we're looking at. And the challenge is, most people literally believe that the solution to unstuck is changed the job I hate. Get rid of the wife that nags, make more money.

Why, you know, it's just where I live. If I could just move from Atlanta to San Francisco,

then everything would be fine. Well, folks, the very first thing we're going to learn today,

and I need you to remember. I'm not here to teach you anything. I'm asking you to remember, remember what's already in you, because that's where your answers are. And that's where your answers to stock are. The reason people can't get unstuck is because they're looking consciously in the wrong place to fix stock. Stock is not sourced by your outside world. It's mirrored in your outside world. Stock is an internal experience that we have to address, identify, and then figure out what

“action steps we take so that stock doesn't dominate us. And that's what we're going to talk about.”

The rest of the title of this particular episode, what personal growth is required to finally move

forward. Well, the first personal growth answer I'm giving you right here is the answer to

comfortable are glorious, challenging are effortless, great and wonderful are dark and

dismal. It's all in you. That's where you find your answers. And that's so in turn, if your answers are in there, that means your solutions are in there. So the whole concept of stock being fixed

“by our outside world, that's why you feel like you're chasing your tail. You'll look around”

and you just say if I could change air, if I could change beer, if I could change her, I could change him, if I could change locations, if I could change my job, if I could change my bank account, if I could change my health, if I could change my behaviors, then I would feel unstuck. Answer? No. You wouldn't. You'd just be stuck in San Francisco instead of Atlanta. You'd just feel stuck in another job versus the job you've had. You'd just feel stuck with a

partner that is going to be mirrored the exact same way. So the answers are inside. And unlike most that say, go get them tiger, you can do it. Just go do it. Stop being a lazy blank blank blank and get off your backside and go do it. I hear that a lot. And my

blood boils first off. The hair on the back of my neck raises, secondly, and I cringe. I literally

cringe. Why do I cringe? Because you know what? If it was that freaking easy, everybody would, nobody would be stuck. Nobody would live in the place of chase in their tail. Nobody would feel hopeless. Nobody would feel powerless. Nobody would feel dark. Nobody would feel dismal. If it was as easy as just get off the couch and go do it, I had to start a new career 50. You know, I try to be nice, but sometimes it just really angers me. Why?

Because this particular host has, I don't know, a bunch of bunch of people watch, and a bunch of people are watching this person mega successful. And they say, well,

“she said all I have to do is get off the couch and go do it. Johnny, she said, all you have to do”

is get off the couch and go do it. Go do it. Johnny, we're doing John can't do it. What the hell

you think, John's feeling? John's feeling shame. John's feeling guilt. John's feeling remorse. Suzy, who's trying to change Johnny. Hey, Sue, look in the mirror. Why? Because the answers are inside of you. And if it was as easy as just going to do it, like 98% of the quote on quote, South help gurus out there, everybody would. So I'm glad you're here because I've got some different answers to that. And I'm going to continue to reference my last podcast, why you feel

anxious all the time because it's kind of a lead into this one. So listen to it. The other thing I'm going to suggest, you know, my podcasts are not normal. They're not your normal. Hey, let's wake up on a Tuesday with Thursday afternoon and listen to an airy, fairy podcast by this guy named Joe and get off and learn it all and feel it all and feel great. I'm sorry, folks, that's not my intention here. I'm not trying to help you feel good. I'm not trying to help you feel great.

I'm going to help you heal. And if you can heal, then you don't have to try to feel good. The consequence of living as a healed human is a wonderful experience. And I am blessed to say, I live as a healed human. So I'm putting my divinity out there on the globe to help people heal. And no, it's not easy. No, it's not. And no, it's not as easy as getting your ass off the couch. Because if it was everybody would, it's not that easy. And I'm also not the person that says,

go get them tiger. I'm going to tell you what I did. Why? Because 30, some odd years ago, I was on a couch. I was on the floor in an unfinished basement. I lived a lesson three thousand dollars a year. I listened to my podcast, modern day monk. 3000 a year. I tell my whole story in that podcast. I'm going to do another one here. My whole story. And why? Because I'm special.

“No, the only thing I was special at was being a hardcore addict with a massive co-dependent”

freak-as-oid co-dependence. That was my esteem was so low that I had this massive personality had to prove all the time. Every component of mental health, if one was the worst you could be in 10 was the greatest, I was a negative 36 in all categories. And am I saying that to blame and shame and guilt myself? No, folks. I'm not. I'm saying it because if I can go from there to where I am today, anybody can, literally anybody can. And that's why I sell the time I'm not a teacher. I'm not a

another thing we found. What the hell does that have to do with anything? Unless you were one of the

4700, it don't make a damn to you. Why? Because that information has nothing to do with you. You are on your own path. Another podcast I have. There's only one spiritual path. And it's yours. If you haven't watched it, watch that one a couple of times. And why am I telling you to read listen to my podcast? Because they're more timeless, quite honestly. You're going to hear things

“in them. And it's going to be confusing. So go back. Listen to them several times if you need to.”

Use it more as a reference, an educational reference tool that an enjoyment tool. I hope on the other side of your feels and glory and you say, "Damn, bad guy helped me, but in the meantime, you're probably going to cost me." And that's okay. It's really okay. Why? Because I don't sugarcoat. It's not easy. And if you're going into the depths, buckle up. Because that's not easy. The depths of your emotional pain, part of the we, the inner part of the

we, it's not easy. Make sure you have help. Make sure you have support. I've got a life coach. Get one if you don't have one. If you're in a good spot and you're just trying to move your life forward. Dr. Karen Louise is my life coach. I don't really need somebody to support me in the moving forward process. But I love sharing my glory with somebody. I get somebody I can share with

freely. And she holds this amazing space. When I start having guests, Dr. Louise is going to be

“somebody I have on here because she's fabulous. I want everybody to meet her. I told her, you know what?”

When we get our podcast to 100 million, our 100,000 downloads a month, she's going to be one of the first guests. So all of you are helping the we podcast reach that original goal of 100,000 downloads a month. Then we're going to go to a million. Then we're going to go to 10 million. Then the ultimate goal is 100 million downloads a month. Why? Because the more people we can help, remember the truth that they're created in God's image. And there are we human self,

divine self, inner self, the more we heal the world. And I'm going to get into all that later on in this podcast. I'm going to give the actual action steps of how you live as the essence of God later in this podcast. So hang around and keep listening. So back to stock. Okay, Joe. So the answers aren't outside of me. They're inside of me. What the heck does that mean? That means that your answers are inside. You're so in turn your solutions are inside. So how do we

get to the answers? Is what people need to be asking if you're not. The answers aren't in your voices. The answers are in the reason you have the voices. And the reason you're stuck, fact, the reason you're stuck and you can't move forward is because the guidance system of voices you're listening to consciously or unconsciously are fear-based, hurt-based, harm-based, not letting you move forward-based voices. When Johnny's sitting his backside on the couch,

and motivational people said, Johnny, just get your ass off the couch and go do it. And Johnny can't. The reason Johnny can't is not because Johnny doesn't have the desire. There's nothing wrong with Johnny. Johnny has the desire, but Johnny's buried in his own voices as say, I can't move. I don't know what to do. A lot of all of the, I can't voices, the glass empty voices. So how do we start? What do we do?

Well, the very first thing you do is you start getting out that piece of paper I always talk about.

“And you need to start writing your voices down, which voices are that, Joe, the critical voices.”

The voices that say, any voice you hear that when you think about my life as stuck in my solution is outside of me, I want you to write that voice down. I want you to write the statement down. I'm stuck because my job sucks. I'm stuck because I hate where I live. I'm stuck because my wife nags at me. I'm stuck because I don't have enough money. I'm stuck because I don't like my job. I'm stuck because I can't stop drinking. I'm stuck because I did down on a piece of paper bullet point,

bullet point bullet point. In my new book that's coming out here in several months, the book called Me To We, I talk about this. It's the voices in our head that are the red flag that paralyzes in the I can't move position. Johnny's on the couch, even though everybody in the planet's telling him to get up and move, he can't because the only voices he hears says, I can't get off the couch. And I'm using Johnny kind of as a scapegoat concept, but there's a tremendous

A, you think the solution of forward is outside you. It's not. And you think the answer to moving

forward is change my outside. No, the answer to moving forward is change which guidance system inside you that you follow. The personal growth position of following a glass empty voice versus the glass full voice, personal awareness is about becoming aware of your glass empty voices. The fear-based voices. The voices that say, I'm stuck is the start. That's not the fear. So once you have that voice, those voices written down. And there might be five, there might be

“five hundred. I don't care how many there are. Then you have to ask yourself the question,”

then you ask yourself, let's say, it's about a job. I'm stuck in life because of my job. Okay, great. I hear you. Fantastic. Now, why don't you change your job? And then I want you to listen to the voices. I can't change my job. I won't make enough money if I change my job. I'm afraid to change my job. I've been at my job too long. People will be disappointed in me if I change my job. Let's use the idea of, I want to move, I live in Atlanta, I want to move to San Francisco.

Well, why don't I move to San Francisco? Well, it's too far. It costs too much money. It's the wrong climate. It rains all the time. People will miss me. I'll miss people.

“So the technique, the personal growth technique that I'm trying to help you understand is the reason”

your stuck, A, your aunts, most people think the solution to stuck is outside. It's not. It's inside. Okay. Now we're inside. Breathe, meditate, get a piece of paper. And I want you to write down every voice that you hear. I'm stuck because something outside. I'm stuck because something outside.

I'm stuck because something outside. Great. That's the first list. The second list I want you to

write down is let's say your job is well, how do you feel stuck? I can't change my job because and what you're going to hear in the because is fear, after fear, after fear, after fear. And what is fear in Joe's definition? Any absolute statement of glass, empty proportion.

“I can't change my job because I won't make enough money. I can't change my job because I”

been here too long. I can't change my job because no one else will hire me. I can't change my job because I'm too old. I can't change my job because I'm too young. So you use the I can't change my job as the I'm the stuck voice. And then you start listening for the voices of why you can't change your job. The why voices, okay? And the why voices are the real source of why you're stuck. So the true source of stuck is not in your head. It's in your heart because the why voices are

based in fear, not glory. Fear, not overflow. What would look differently? Here's a difference. If somebody would say, you know, I feel I've outgrown my job. I'm going to look for a new job. Let's say great. What do you plan to do? I'm not sure yet. I'm going to look around. I'm going to keep my options open. I'm going to start discovering possibilities and I'm going to let God kind of guide me into my new job. Now, can you hear the difference from getting a new job

from a glass full position? All possibility, all potential in God's time. Over time, a flow full glass full approach to changing a stuck or something of outgrown concept. Most people don't live

there. Most people have never been taught to go into the discovery position of their fear-based

voice. And why is that? Because most people. And I see it again all the time online. I see people doing it. And it drives me nuts. It drives me nuts because they'll say, well, you hear the voice, the negative voice they say, just change the thought. Yeah, no kidding, they're tracing. Again, if we could just change the thought, everybody would just change the thought and then everybody would be fine. Well, if you're here on this podcast and you're 25 minutes into my podcast,

you've already realized that the changing of the thought concept doesn't frickin' work. It might sound

empty voice, the source of the quote unquote negative voice, is not in your head. So trying to change the negative thought doesn't work. Why? Because the source, the reason you have the glass empty voice, it's not from your head, it's in your heart. And what is the source? What's the emotion in your heart? Mad, glad, sad, or scared? It's scared. Fear. I can't change my job because I'm afraid of the money. I'm afraid of the change. I'm afraid people will be disappointed.

I'm afraid, afraid, afraid, afraid. I can't move because I'm afraid to move. I'm afraid I can't do it. And the fear is the true reason you can't get off the couch. The emotional source of the voice

“is in your heart, in your belly. Not the voice itself. That's why the positive affirmation concept.”

It doesn't heal anything, not a thing. If you haven't listened to my podcast, I can't let go of my pain or whatever that one is, what forgiveness really means, look that one up. Listen to that one.

It's one of my favorites. In that particular one, it's when I first learned about reals.

Literally, the first real I ever watched. I see somebody I just have all the respect to and a new thought leader was shaming the crap out of this person. Well, you just want to hang on to that forgiveness. You just want to hang on and not forget. And the host is like looking at her bowilderous crap. Folks, forgiveness is not an action step. Anyone that tells you is hasn't done it and hasn't grown. Those are absolute statements. Listen to that podcast because it walks you

right through the process of how you heal. Forgiveness is the consequence of healing the hurt that caused the pain in the first place, not an action step. It's the consequence. Forgiveness happens as a consequence of action steps. Well, it's the same thing when you're stuck. We feel stuck. Typically, the reason people feel lost when they're stuck are they feel hopeless when they're stuck or they feel powerless when they're stuck or just plain pissed off when your stuck is because

you're looking for the answer to stuck in the wrong place. You're looking outside for the solution

for an inside situation. The feeling of stuck is in you. The answer is not outside. Now that

you're in yourself, how do we get to the source of stuck? The head is saying I'm stuck because of something outside. My job, my wife, my family, my emotions, my fears, my drinking, my this, use it, write it down. And then once you write that down, why you believe you're stuck,

“then ask yourself the reason why can't you change? Why can't I change something?”

Then you're going to hear the voices. I'm afraid of this. I can't because of that. I'm a fearful of this. I'm fearful of that. When you get into the fear-based voices, when you're literally

hearing the fear-based voice, which is the second set of writing, that's where you're getting closer

to the source. That's where you're truly healing and becoming aware of the reason you're stuck. And it's fear. Nothing else. Now the last part of that experience is the way you literally cut the power of those voices in half. You have to share with somebody else. And that's the part everybody hates. Getting ready to do workshops and you know, have people do these types of things one on one, one on group. And the most challenging part is you have to share that stuff with

somebody else. And why? Well, because as soon as you start sharing, you're literally living as a multi-dimensional you in the moment you're sharing. There's a part that's sharing all of the fear-based voices and the part it's sharing about, which is the source of the voice. There's two of you talking to a third person to a third party. And that's why if it's deep and it's painful and it's hurt

“fun, it's angst-filled, you need to do it with a therapist. You do. You need to have help. You do. Why?”

Because the source of all that fear is a wound underneath it. Period. The source, the reason you

Well, great. Then you're not stuck, right? Well, no, I'm stuck. But I don't have any fear. Well, you're stuck and you feel like you don't have any fear because you're in your head and stuck in your head. Well, how do we get unstuck from our head? Right, the voice is down in your head. Right, the fear that is the reason why you can't take action. You write the fear. Not do any action. Just write it out and then tell somebody else. And that's where, quite honestly, when you

where the divinity part of the we, remember we live as a we, human self, divine self, inner self, it's in the sharing right there the way you bridge the and get the courage you need

“to share your darker stuff. That's where you have to call on a power greater than yourself.”

You need to pray for strength and courage. My mantra, my entire dark years, my entire original decade of discovery, dear God, give me the strength and courage, dear God, give me the strength and courage. And then I move to dear God, give me the strength and courage to feel what I need to heal, feel what I need to heal. And why do I say that? For most of you, do you have to actually feel the depths of your pain to get unstuck? No, you don't. How do you get unstuck? You learn

how to be guided by glass full voices instead of glass empty voices. How do we do that? Well, the way you do that is through the process I just mentioned and if you need it repeated,

“start the podcast over. Listen to what I'm saying several times if you have to, it's okay.”

This is an educational podcast. It will help you. So the way you move from fear-based

voices to glass full voices, you have to identify the glass, the fear-based glass empty voices first.

And as you share those voices with somebody else, in the sharing, there's a humility that happens. You walk through the fear when you're buried in your own voices. That's Johnny who's stuck on the couch. That's Mrs. Jones who's stuck in her 30-year career. She can't leave. That's Susan who's stuck in a marriage. That's abusive. That's Fred who's stuck on drugs. That's John who's stuck in the restaurant can't stop eating. The reason you're stuck is because the voices aren't

the source. The voices are the mirror that will bring you to the source and the source is a

“fear underneath the voices. Deeper, deeper, deeper. That's why this is a personal growth.”

You're getting to know yourself deeper and deeper and deeper. That's what personal growth is. Growing deeper. So you can live grander. Growing deeper. So you can live grander. And I'm going to share the grander part of how to live, which ends up moving into the spiritual side of things

here in a minute. But basically, as we share the deeper voices, the fear-based voices, and share them

all. I'm stuck with my job. I'm stuck blah, blah, blah, and share it all with somebody else when you share it. The power of the voice cuts in half. You do multiple first steps. Every time you share a first step with somebody else, the power, the control, the domination of your own fear-based voices, get cut in half. And for most of you moving forward and changing your world from the insight out, it is as simple as on a Monday right down the I'm stuck voices. On a Tuesday right

down the fear of why you can't take the action based on the unstuck. And on a Thursday, share it with somebody else. Literally. By Friday's Saturday Sunday, you might have an idea that just magically pops up that you can take action on, that you couldn't take action on for the past 10 years. Why? Because the dominating control that causes stuck is surrendered. Surrender how. Well, it's surrendered because humility and fear can't be in the same space at the same time.

Hear me, humility and fear can't be in the same space at the same time. What's fear?

I selected domination and keeping your voices a secret. I'll never forget the first time

I thought, I'm not afraid of anything. Truth is I was afraid of everything. And I didn't have

“any secrets. Well, the truth is it isn't that I had secrets. It's just I had so much I wasn't aware of.”

I didn't even know that I didn't even know that I didn't even know. And that's why podcasts

like this are so powerful. Because I'm going to bring you into an awareness process that brings

you deeper and deeper and deeper into yourself so that you can become aware of deeper parts of you. And how we heal the deeper parts is we bring light to the different parts. That's what enlightenment is bringing light, bringing awareness to deeper aspects of you. Well, the fear-based voices, which is the emotional component of the glass empty belief, the fear-based emotion. When you share it with somebody else, you're cutting the power of that fear in half by sharing it

with somebody else. You're moving out of the shame of being powerless to the fear and getting support from an outside person. We bring light to our darkest parts, to our deepest darker parts. And that's when we start healing. Literally. Now, most will do it. And they'll be able to start taking action steps in a way that they haven't been able to before. Little by little by little. Yes, perfect. Now, for that percentile of you that realizes that every fear-based voice you have

has an inner wound that is the creation of that voice. If you're that person, you better have help. And I'm not kidding. If you don't, you need it. I had a therapist for 20 years.

Marion Nancy Pearl over a 20-year period of time. I was almost never without a therapist. Why?

Not because I chose it, but I was constantly pushed deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper awareness, which is deeper emotion, which is deeper pain, which needed to be experienced and expressed. But that was Joe's path. Most, I don't think most go there. I don't. I'm not telling you where to go or where not to go. But most people will be able to move forward in their life. Remove the experience of feeling stuck by simply becoming aware of the emotional

source of the belief. The belief is if I change something else, I'll be okay. That's the belief. The fear of not being able to do it, that's the fear underneath the belief. Once you share that fear with somebody else, the power of the fear cuts in half. And when the power of the fear isn't dominating you because the power gets cut in half. The controlling nature gets cut in half. Your shame-based guilt-based, I'm not good enough based beliefs get cut in half. You'll be

“able to move forward. And quite honestly, that's why I feel angry sometimes to be honest with you.”

I feel defensive. I got this massive protector part. When I see the John's of the world who simply are the Suzie or the Freddie who simply can't do it. And then I hear these motivational speakers with these million followers saying, "Just go do it anyways." Well, no kidding. All that does is spend John and his shame even more. As John said, "Well, what the hell? The entire world, a million followers can do it. I'm the only one that can." It's not true. And if you're that person,

no, there's nothing wrong with you. Period. The answer isn't in the action. The answer to stuck is to become aware of the fear that's causing the inaction. Share the fear with somebody else and you watch how everything moves and moves forward. If you're the person that says,

"Why do I have all this fear again?" That was me. I never stopped at the belief. I never stopped at the

fear. I always was pursuing why do I have the fear? Well, for Joe, the why I had the fear was

“a wounded little kid. Why is all of this important? And why is all of this happening so rapidly now?”

It's all happening so rapidly now. The awareness for you to make it 40 minutes into a podcast like this. You are an absolute spiritual warrior. I want to keep telling you different episodes to listen to because they help. They build on each other. Why you feel so anxious? I'm telling you. You listen to that one. You're going to hear things that you didn't hear here. And it's really going to help. It really will. Well, why is it all happening so much faster? Why is a podcast like the Wii podcast

exploding? Literally an independent. I started off with zero listeners. None. With no money.

98% of you have listened to my podcast. You don't know my last name now. And you might have

“listened to 10 of my podcast. Why do I say that? Because I started with zero. All I started with”

was an inspiration to share my overflow with the globe. And in 150 days, the Wii podcast is ranked top 20 on a couple different charts. Why? Because of you, all of you. And there's an awareness in an awakening that's happening. Not the awakening isn't happening because of Joe. That's for damn sure. The awakening is happening because it's a spiritual transformation that the globe is going through. Literally, we are waking up as a humanity more and more, waking up to what? The feminine side of

self. Well, fantastic. Joe, well, what's in the feminine side of self? That is so special. Well, that's where your divinity lives. The whole idea being created in God's image. Well, that's the fun part. The other part, though, is the emotional side of self. And it's great as long as you don't have any buried pent up, unresolved emotion. You got any of that? Well, that's where it can be challenging. Truly. Well, all of your fear-based voices are sourced by a wounded little kid.

Each person's on their own path. I'm not here to tell you what your path looks like. I'm here to

tell you what my path looked like. And I always say if I can do it anyway, I can do it. That's

for damn sure. And I'm not kidding. Literally, I wasn't pursuing God. You can tell it in my voice. Now, I'm not my passionate, but I can't say I'm the most gentle. I'm not. I called my inner child a child like a little kid, a little blinker. I'm not going to use the word, but F and Blinker together, you can probably figure out what I called myself. Thirteen years sober. So I'm the last thing for gentle. Last thing. But passionate. And I did the work. And I'm living on the other side.

“The hell. I'm creating a global podcast sharing my overflow. My divinity. Why is that important?”

Because if I can, you can. That's the truth. And what I need you to understand, and I'm going to get into how. So we're creating in God's image. God's freaking fantastic. What the hell does that mean? And if we're so empowered in God, then why aren't we living it? Well, I'm going to tell you in a minute while you're not living it. And how do you live it versus just think about it? How do you commune with the power greater than yourself with a God? What's the difference between connection and

communion? Connection is as if you're holding hands with your higher power. Communion is the experience of becoming one with your higher power. I talk about that in one of my podcast gratitude to grace. Well, that becoming one is happening more and more and more and more for people. People are literally just waking up to a oneness. They didn't know exist. On Monday, it wasn't there. On Wednesday, it's there and on Friday, they're going nuts because they don't know how to deal with it. Well,

“that's why podcasts like this are developed. And the challenge is as you open up as your humanity”

is opening up to your feminine side of self. There's the emotional component. There is. Well, the emotional component is the source of the fear. The fear is the source of the belief. The belief is the reason you're stuck. And all of that's inside you, not outside of you. I'll say at the opposite. Most people think stuck is because of their outside world. It's not. Stuck is because of the belief in your head, which are source of fear, which is caused by a wound,

deeper, deeper, deeper. I don't know where you as the listener are spiritually going to be guided in that depth cycle. I don't know. That's not Joe's role to tell you where. I don't know. It's my role to tell you. Get help. There's more help, more support than ever before. 98% of the reason my path was so challenging. I did all this in the 90s. Pre-internet. I got sober 1994. This podcast is going to be publicized on my 30

second year of sobriety. April the 16th, 1994, 30 second year will be the day this podcast is

published. Pre-internet. I didn't have a cell phone texting didn't exist. Email Communic. It didn't exist. That was then. We're now here. They're support everywhere. I'm going to be a keynote speaker at an organization that Dr. Karen is putting together called a live collective. That type of event that type of environment is popping up everywhere. Get involved. Find it. Go

we're two or more gathered, the God inside of you is going to live. So for Joe, but happened and how you truly heal the depths of yourself and how you truly move from stuck to unstuck

“as you have to learn what voices are keeping you stuck. We embrace the voice by writing it down.”

We kind of take the power of the voice and half by telling it to somebody else. But then once you are telling it to somebody else, then you have to learn from a spiritual awakening position, a new set of voices to guide you. And that's where I learned way back when fear-based voices are

absolute. I can't. I won't. I never. It'll never happen. I'm not good enough. I'm this.

I'm too fat. I'm too old. I'm too ugly. I'm too boy. I'm too white. I'm too, I'm too too something. The glass empty, absolute voices. Versus, the all-passability voices. Maybe I can. I think I can. I wonder if I can. I hope I can. I wonder if I can. I wonder if I can. I wonder if I can. I wonder if I can get support. Maybe people help me. Maybe people will love me. Maybe I'll find a new job. When you can move from the Ike, from the listening and hearing,

and then learn how to follow. In other words, be guided. Your action, your literal brushing,

your teeth. What action step am I going to take after I brush my teeth? If you learn how to be guided

“internally and remember that the divinity in you speaks in all inclusive voices. You want”

to live as the grandest you. You have to follow the voice of the grandest you. You want your external world to mirror the grandest you. You have to be guided by the grander you. Which voice is which? The all-or-nothing voices, the glass empty, the all-inclusive voices, the glass full. And that's why there's groups out there that you can get involved with. That'll help you identify those voices. I'm going to say what I did, way back when, right? So, I mean literally it's 30 years ago,

32 years ago. So, 31 years ago, I am lost. I'm not drinking. So, and I'm not druggin. So,

every environment that I went into had drugs and alcohol in it, all of them. So, I didn't know what they'll do and all of this that I'm teaching and putting words to for you to learn and I'm going to continue to encourage you listen again. Don't use the Wii podcast as a one in done. Why? There's an every time you listen, there's something that's coming through my divinity that's going to connect to yours. So, you've listened to different podcasts, listen to them over and over to see

what new awareness might come forward. Folks, please understand the person talking here, the voice, God can only do for me what God can do through me, right? Believe me, this is not the human talking. This is divinity talking through me. How do I know? I mean, if it was Joe's choice at 945 and that other would be in bed, my kids are in finals been working all day. But my divinity said, hey, get in front of that microphone and talk and here we are. So, you're only here. You only have

the courage to strengthen the last 50 minutes into a podcast like this that for some of you, it's blowing your brain for others of you and you're saying, I get it. I hear everything this man is saying. But for all of you, if you listen to different podcasts over and over and tell people about it, they're going to help because you're going to hear things differently as you wake up and you become more and more aware. You're going to get a different benefit and then tell people

about it. So, other people can grow from that benefit too. Well, back in the day, right? I had no money in a place to go. I couldn't go where I was comfortable. That was bars because there was alcohol. I couldn't do what I loved to do. That was shoot pool because pool tables were in bars and bars had alcohol and I couldn't do it. I really loved to do it. That was connect with

“girls because the only way we'd connect with girls is in the bars that we're drinking. So, I literally”

talk about lost and I remember thinking, now this is coming from a non-god guy, 0-god guy, like literally, at this point, I can't really say I effing hated God, not in my early 30s. But my 20s I did. But I did. Why? Because I was taught that you do it one way or God's going to punish in hell the rest of your life. And I said, eff you, eff that eff this, that if that's what God's

I just had a big enough personality, so I could pull it off. Now, I will tell you, my Catholic priest

father can't, he saved my life. Did I believe anything the man was saying from the Paul, but no, but that I believed the manorism in which the man lived. Yes, what was that? One God in love,

“one God in love, all religion, one God in love. That's why when people say, "Well John, what's your”

religion?" I say all of them. Why? One God in love. But DAT, you put the adjective to that's up to you. That's up to you and your family and your environment, not Joe. So, my Catholic priest father, Cam God rest his soul. I know that man's in heaven. He saved my life and I'm not kidding, eighth grade. I didn't have anybody. Him. And the whole God thing, who wasn't Joe, I didn't do the God thing. I didn't. Well, now I can't do the drug thing. I can't do the

alcohol thing. I can't do my friend thing. I don't have a God thing. I'm fricking lost early 30s, but I didn't know what to do. I didn't know where to go. I didn't know what to do. So here's how I would guide myself. I'd get to a stoplight. And I'd say, if I used to turn left, turn right. Now, this was the wisdom of the day. I didn't have any other way to do it. I didn't. I wasn't taught back then where you followed the glass full voices. Because I didn't have

“any glass full voices. All I heard was the nasty, hate-filled nasty voices. Well, that's why”

when you write all that nasty stuff down and folks, it's not a one-done. I still do first steps.

You might have to do it five times, 10 times, 20 times, 30 times over the next year or two. Do I care? No. You want to feel better? Yes. Then write your voices down and tell somebody else. Just getting to have it. Why? Because every time you have a fear-based voice guiding your life, you're going to have a glass empty result in your external world. Fact, fear-based voice guiding your life, glass empty result in your external world. That's just how it works. So what Joe would do?

And then one day I said, you know what? I'm going to do what I think Jesus would do. Now, where do how that came from? I have no idea. And I said, "Well, would Jesus go to the Strip bars? No, he wasn't. Would Jesus go whatever? No, he wasn't." So I'm going to go wherever. Now, where that came from? I've no idea. None. Was I a Jesus guy? No, I wasn't. But it was oh, at least 20 years later than God. It was 20 years later. I shared that story.

And that's when I learned that Jesus hung out with the beggars, the prostitutes, the low lives of the communities. Jesus would see these people as humans, as children of God. I remember thinking, "Oh my gosh, I am so grateful. I didn't know that about Jesus back then when I was in

those first months of just completely lost. This is my spiritual experience. The 20th day of February

removed all addiction, big awareness is April the 15th, two days from now. That today, right now was April 13th. In two days, I'll be going on 32 years of having memories of being sexually abused as a kid. My sobriety day, my official sobriety day, April the 16th. And from April the 16th, Joe has had no substance in my body since. So I had to learn how to do the it different because every place that was my normal had drugs now. And I didn't know how to do it. So I figured out a plan

of do the opposite of what I used to do. I wasn't guided and I didn't have much to do. And that's where I started being guided to nature. Instead of in bars, I was outside in nature. Instead of making friends with a new female, I made friends with trees, stone mountain here in Georgia,

“the largest outcropping of granite. I think in the world don't quote me, but it's fricking”

beautiful. Come to Georgia, go to Stone Mountain. I promised you love it. Stone Mountain became my friend. In animate things that have energy of God in them became my friends. Literally, there was an era of time where the veil between me and my awareness and the consciousness of trees, it was removed for a long time. And I lived in that place. That's where I talk about the idea of sacred silence. And sacred silence doesn't mean truly no talking. Sacred silence means

no giving of your energy to somebody else. Well, I spent that period of time where sacred silence was my every day. And over time, the silence of my external world would silence my

So I would get into the fear and then I would get into the emotion. That's why I did

“inner child work for so many years. My first book, inner child has rights to. That's why I wrote it.”

It channeled through me two years, 22 months, 116,800 some out of words, channeled through. I didn't write anything. God wrote it through me. And back in the day, I didn't understand that. I didn't. But I'll tell you what. Read the book. It's coming out here soon, called "Filling the Void." Read it. Read the end. I wrote that 20 to almost over 30 years ago. I wrote the end 30 years ago how I live today. Somebody told me how the hell I did that 30 years

ago. No idea. Well, I do know. It wasn't me doing the writing. It was me. It was a higher power writing through me. Literally talking in a book written 30 years ago, the life I live today. You read it in the end. You can see it. And from that position, right? I said to myself like, "Well, if we're creating God's image, that was one of the most confusing things in the world to me." I used to look around and said, "I'm a white guy. Big. You know, I'm 220. 6 foot 220." Actually,

praise God. I'm 6 foot 210. I've been on a diet. My best buddy was a black guy, Lawrence. My female friend was just tiny little female, you know, five nine hundred and five pounds. Beautiful. From Connecticut, I said, "God's image. We don't look anything like each other. How can God look like all of us?" 10, 12 years later, I realized we're not created in God's image from our physical. We're created from God's image from our spiritual, the inner essence that divinity in us. That's where the

weak comes. All of us are multi-dimensional beings. Human self, divine self, inner self, the inner emotional self. The inner emotional self is the emotional side of you, which is in the feminine side of self, which is also the spiritual side of self. Why do we have to go through the depths of our emotional self? Because the truly become one with your divinity, the answers to your divinity are not avoiding your emotions. They're not negating your emotions. They're not trying to eliminate

your emotions. The communion you're searching for is on the other side of your emotions. I'll never

forget I had a metaphor if I was like I was in the ocean. It's women's women's women's no matter how far it's women. I couldn't reach it. I couldn't solve it. I couldn't. Whatever I was fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting. Always trying to do better and be better in the better in the one day I woke up. And God said, "Joe, your answers aren't on the other side of the ocean. Your answers are at the bottom of the ocean. Stop fighting. Surrender into the depths of yourself.

“Live the impossible." Or the metaphor of Joe surrendering. I'll never forget it. I just stopped”

moving and I surrendered into a true experience of floating deeper and deeper into the ocean. And then I got scared. I could feel myself fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, to get back to the top of the ocean. And then God said, "No, Joe, just open your mouth and breathe. You can live the impossible, Joe, by going through the depths of you." Well, that's how I did it. That's what happened. I have to understand. I was many years

practiced at going and embracing the depths of my emotional self. Most of you are already there now. You don't have to go through everything I went through. You're already there. A woman that I heard online back in September that awakened all this in me. This woman lives

connected to her divinity. She speaks at all the time. I never, never even met her yet.

And as she talks, she talks from her heart how I know. In random, I've listened to two or three different podcasts this woman did. Every podcast, she does some spot. She's emoting and grieving. I'd agree. I'm one time. I'd sadness another time. She's totally connected to her heart already. Now, it just tells me she's done a lot of work. But for most of you, you're already there now.

“Now the idea is how do you live it? So for all created in God's image, how do we live it?”

And the answer to living the grander you is dream big dreams. Dream big dreams. Dream big dreams for yourself and dream big dreams for your family. Dream big dreams for the community around you. Let yourself dream again. The opposite of stock is dreaming. I didn't say take action yet. I said the opposite of stock is dreaming. And as you let yourself dream and you let that

And your imagination is the vibrational sense of you that has all limitless possibilities.

“Your imagination is your humanity's closest thing to limitless is your imagination. Why?”

Because your humanity is only limited by its physicality. But in your imagination, there's no limitation. None. So as you let yourself dream, then a lecture yourself, your imagination start to really, really start moving and start flowing and see it and hear it and allow it to really fly. And as you're dreaming and as you're hearing your imagination, every time you have an imagination, you imagine yourself traveling to Europe. When you hear the voices says,

I can't travel to Europe. I could never have the money. I want you to write those voices down.

I want you to write down the I can't voices. Why? Because it's the I can't voices that are covering up your ability to go to Europe with the imagination. We want to write down the I can't voices. So you're going to start dreaming again. You're going to start letting yourself imagine again. And as you let yourself imagine, write them down. The column dream list, the column dream

“boards. All of that. It's all fantastic. Does that help? Yeah. It's kind of fun. Does it do anything?”

No. It doesn't. Why? Because that's still of your humanity. And we're waking up, we're trying to live as an image of God. How do we live as our higher sense of self?

How do we live as our image of God? Well, eventually what happens is over time you might have

hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of imaginative things and dreams. Eventually those hundred different things turn into two or three different things that just stick with you. And those two are three different things are your inspirations. And I'll give you an example of one of my dreams. I used to, I'm a big, Brad Pitt fan. I just think he's fabulous. And way back when I heard, I don't know if that's true. But I heard that he had bikes in every place where he lived and

I don't know how my places he lived, but he had a bike there. And I remember thinking, one of my dreams. I want to have 50 bikes in 50 different countries. When I thought that just felt so freaking cool and awesome and wonderful, well, then about, I don't know, six, eight weeks later, I said to myself, you know, it's kind of a cool idea, but I don't really like writing bikes that much. So that imagination that turned into a dream, that's all it was. It was fun in the moment.

But did it stick with me as an inspiration? No, it did it. Well, the process of going from imagination to inspiration, your inspiration stick with you. They're there in the highs, they're there in the lows, they're there when you're emotionally on fire. They're there when you're in a motion in the depths. They're there when everything else feels dismal. They're there when everything feels grand. How do they stick with you so intensely? These things called inspiration? Because your

inspirations are not of you. Your inspirations are from the divinity in you. Hear me, your inspirations, those two or three things that kind of sift down out of all the imaginative things, you might want to do. Your inspirations aren't of the human you. Your inspirations are of the

“divine you. Well, we want to write those inspirations down. And how do we know their inspirations?”

Because it sticks with you. They sticks with you. In my world, 30 years ago, 30 years ago, I literally thought I was going to be a published author. I was going to follow in the footsteps of John Bradshaw. I was going to be the next Wayne Dyer. And there was this new young stud out there. I was going to mirror him as names Tony Robbins. Now, that was 30 years ago. John Bradshaw's past away, Wayne Dyer's past away. But both of them wrote had millions of books sold and Mr. Robbins is an

icon. Well, that was 30 years ago. But those inspirations never left me. They never left.

Literally, they stuck with Joe. That's Joe's path. And it wasn't until September 20, 2022, September 22nd, 2022, where I'm listening to a woman online talk about a grander tomorrow. Where my divinity woke up after 20 years of being dormant and private. My divinity was lived in my family life, not my public life. Then I listened to the same woman share online, share in a podcast. At the time, it didn't know what podcast was. She says there are only failure in life.

Was there marriage with a tier in her voice and my heart opened? Literally. And from that moment

And that's what I've been doing. After that opening, with the inspirations that stuck with me

“for 25 years, had I been living them? No. Had they been dormant? Had I been living my higher”

sense of self in the raising of my kids? Yes, in building a house? Yes, in having a community around me? Yes. But was I sharing my divinity with the world? No, I wasn't. Why? Because it wasn't time. But the inspirations were there. And it just wasn't time for them to unfold. What's the difference between your imagination and your inspiration? Your imagination is of your humanity. Your inspirations of your divinity. Your inspirations might be to start a school, to teach people on class,

to train dogs, to give back, to volunteer, to have a bake cell. I don't know what your inspirations are. But they're yours. And inspirations are whatever that thing is that sticks with you and stays with you all the time. That's your inspiration. Now does that change anything having an inspiration? No, it doesn't change anything. How do you change then, Joe? Well, you move from inspiration to creation.

And it's in that spot that most people never succeed. Last Brown, I listened to him 30 years ago.

“Another fabulous, amazing speaker. I'll never forget. He said, "The cemeteries are the world,”

are the wealthiest place on the planet because people are live, they're born, they live, and they die, and they never share their inspirations with the world. They take all that value, all that wonder, all that glory, and they never share it with the world. They take it to their grave." I remember here in that 30 years ago, it said, "That is the most powerful thing I've ever heard." Never thought of it like that. And I said, "So why?" Well, what happens when you move from inspiration

to creation? That's where your divinity and your humanity come together as one. Living your inspiration out into the world, creating it out into the world is where the concept of you God can only do for you what God can do through you. So that in the creation phase, there's a God part, the divinity, and the human part, which is the through part. And it's in that communion,

“right there, where creation starts. Well, Joe, that sounds simple. Why don't people do it?”

They don't do it because all the fear-based voices. Period. The reason people don't do it is because of the fear-based voices. No one's going to read my book. Who would come to my presentations? I'm not smart enough. I'm not good enough. I'm too fat. I'm too skinny. I'm too old. I'm too white. I'm too something. Well, that's where when you get to that place of where creation, it's time to start creating. That's where your humanity has to ask for strength

and courage from your divinity to start taking action. Please understand that your divinity is there to support you in the creation of something that's going to change your life and change the world. Everybody, it's real comfortable and real common for people to pray for support when somebody has an accident or somebody's hurt, or your child's sick, or you're not feeling good. It's easy to say, dear God, make sure you know, help my kid feel better. That's easy. People do it all the

time. Well, what people don't understand is that that same divinity, that same God in you, is there to support you every action step you take, the small ones and the big ones. So the creation phase, this is in the program where the sixth and seventh step, the sixth step says we're willing to change the seventh step says humbly asked to change. It's in the creation phase of your life where your external world actually starts changing, but it's changing because you're taking

action from your divinity, not your ego. You're taking action from your glass full, not your glass empty, and the fear that typically paralyzes us and keeps us from doing it is the fear-based voice. And hear me here, your creation of divinity may or may not have an income component to it. May or may not. I'm going to share a story here in a minute of an inspiration. I took into full

manifestation. I didn't make a penny, not a dime, but the glory I feel is a consequence is amazing.

It's in that spot where most people never move out of their inspiration because they don't

know their inspirations are of a higher self. And when those two are three kind of separate from the hundreds and down to two or three, whatever your two or three things are, I can't tell you what yours are, I tell you what mine were, those two or three things, right? And then moving those two or three things out of your inspiration, which is an internal experience, out into the world that's the creation phase. And what Joe does, I'm a guy with paper and pencil,

“that's what I start, that's what I do. And what I tell people to do when you have an inspiration,”

write it down in the piece of paper. And then write bullet points. Like for Joe in the beginning,

I'd write bullet points. I wrote a poem. I just wrote bullet point bullet point. And every time I had

a new inspiration around books, around presentations, around public speaking, or whatever, I'd have a different piece of paper. Eventually, my papers got so many, I had to get Manela Folders. So if you've got multiple inspirations, get multiple Manela Folders. And in the beginning, don't try to make sense of it. Just let it flow through. Bullet point, bullet point, bullet point. Why? Because every time you bullet point your creation, just like when you bullet point

your fears, it cuts the power in half. When you bullet point your inspirations, you double the power. And then you triple the power. Then you three times the power. The power of what? The power of creation. The more you write, the more there's space for you to write. The more you create, there's more space to create. The more you do it, the bigger you get, the bigger you get, the more you do it. And the more you do it, the grander it feels, the grander you feel,

the more you want to put out there. Literally, that's the creation phase. And then eventually, what happens? You have enough stuff in creation. Then move to the next phase, which you put it all together. And then you implement whatever the it is. Implementation is the manifestation stage of the process. So how do we live as, you know, as an image of God? It starts with dreaming big dreams. Those dreams move into your imagination. You'll have thousands, hundreds of

imaginations that will whittle down into two or three inspirations. Understand your imagination is of your humanity. Your inspirations, those things that stay with you, highs and lows. Their emotional challenges are greatness, whatever. The inspiration stays.

“Understand, that's how you identify the difference. That's your divinity.”

When divinity and humanity come together, that's how creation happens. God can only do for you what God can do through you. That's what that phrase means, where creation starts.

The reason creation typically never happens. And people die with their inspirations.

It's fear. Glass empty voices. How do we get over the glass empty voices? We ask the divinity who gave us the inspiration in the first place for the emotional strength encouraged to move forward. As you put enough creation down on pieces of paper and you put them in Manila folders. And eventually there's enough data where you move it into manifestation. Manifestation is where you're living, whatever it is you've created. And when you remove timeframes from the living

of your manifestation, you're truly in flow. When you remove the need to create income based on your manifestation, you truly are in flow. Hear me, it is not your inspirations response

“ability to pay your bills. It's your job. That's why for the past 15 years, my business.”

We've got a beautiful business by partner Jim and I, it's called Avian Energy. Avian pays all my bills. I don't make a dime from these podcasts. None. I share my overflow because it feels good. And then as you're manifesting, whatever it is, building a park, tutoring kids, being a baker, helping the elderly, I don't know what your it is. But as you're doing it out in the world, then to truly live in God's image, you have to commit to being very good at what you love to do.

Commit to being very good at what you love to do. And one of the qualifications of the Manifestation stage, you have to love it. As if you don't love it, it's not God. How do I know? Let's think about it. What is God? If you were to put one word, one adjective on the thing called God. What is it? What did I say, religion is? One God in what? Love. One God, love, all religion. All modern day religion. One God, love, monolithic God, love. So, if God is love and love is an emotion,

what you love, then you're doing God. Doing God. So, how do you truly live on the image of God?

You allow your inspirations to connect with your humanity in creation. You put it together enough. You put it into manifestation. You start putting it out there in the world, whatever you're manifesting. You're doing something you love, and then you commit to being very good at that which you love. And in that very good position, right? The better you get, the better it is, the more you do it,

“the more you love it, the more you love it, the more you have, the more you have to give.”

That's what I do on these podcasts all the time. I'm going to end with my last story, and it's about how me, the little me, created a manifestation miracle that happened last year. And it just recently manifested here recently. I was down in South Africa because, again, I'm out in the world, a guy says, "Hey, you want to do a TEDx?" I'm like, "Sure." He's like, "Great, meet me in South Africa."

I'll never forget. I said, "South Africa, the country?" Yeah, South Africa, the country.

I said, "Great, I'll do it." So, I had a big gulp moment and beautiful people in beautiful place, and did my TEDx. If you haven't listened to my TEDx, find me Joe Mitigot TEDx. 757,000 people of grace, those pages for me, and, you know, I just love it. But I'm coming back, and while I was there, I learned that over 400 million people don't have water. Don't have

“running water in Africa. I say to people all the time, I think I was the only middle-aged”

white guy on the planet that didn't know that. I had no idea. I certainly had no idea that water, that dirty water, and illnesses in dirty water are the one thing that fill most of the hospital beds on the planet. No idea. I just didn't know. Coming back, I said, "You know what? I'm going to do something about it. Have an inspiration." And I started imagining what it would look like. And if you ever flown to South Africa from

Atlanta on Delta, it's a 15-hour flight there, and a 16-17-hour flight back. I'm not sure how it gets more coming back, but it does. Thank God because I needed that time. Why? Because I started right down all my ideas of how I would change it. And I thought, you know what? If the awareness of the community, because there means the financially, don't have a whole lot of means.

“So their education is going to be limited. But their education of the grandparents is the”

same as the parents, the same as the kids, nothing changes. So I came up with this idea called

ProjectSmile.World, and ProjectSmile basically offers free education to the globe.

Visit it, ProjectSmile.World, that over 80,000 people down the stuff on that page. 80,000. Does anyone pay? No. Is there an income component to ProjectSmile? No. There's not. Do I feel good because I'm doing it? Yeah. I feel great. Well, as I get back, I learned, and I said, "You know what? I'm going to do something." I don't know what. So I would go on LinkedIn. I meet a guy and he asked for $50. And I said, "Okay, great."

$50 bucks. And people say, "Well, you can't do that, Joe. There's scams. There's this. There's the other thing. I said, "You know what? I don't care. I'm doing it." And I did. And loan behold, I give this amount $50. And I learned that technology allows money to move around the planet very quickly. So I learned that there's more money that moves through the globe today in an hour, let alone a day. Then there used to be all money that existed a hundred years ago.

In other words, we have a very wealthy planet. And the only difference is people that don't have water, don't have wealth. So I'm going to help change that. So anyways, long story short. Within two hours, I get a video back of 1718 kids, orphans in Uganda who have this big picture with my picture on it saying, "Thank you, Mr. Joe for helping us." $50 dollars. My heart just expanded. I couldn't believe it. I get another message from this gentleman,

young girl, broker arm. Now this is a precious little girl named Patricia. She broke her arm. And they have no money. So they have no medicine. They can't take her to a doctor. He says, "Can you help?" I'm like, "Sure, how much?" $60. $60. So later I asked. I said, "So what would have happened?" And if I wanted to give you the money. It says, "Well, unfortunately the arm would have gotten infected. They turned a kid at the elbow or higher than they just cut it off.

$60 dollars saved the girl's arm. $60 dollars saved the arm. Patricia. I did a live stream. I started doing a live stream to create awareness to all this. I meet Patricia.

nature had gone. Well, the veil now between me and these kids has gone. So I can feel her

“divinity, literally. And the experience I had was grace. That's why the episode”

gratitude to grace is a powerful one. I hope you listen to it. Because one of my original

episodes, because the experience of grace, this all happened where I gave the $50 to Patricia back last May. And a year later, 9, 10, 12 months later, whatever it's been, I still have the same experience of grace in my heart because of that $60. What's the difference between gratitude and grace? Gratitude is the accomplishment of the experience you feel by accomplishing things and bringing wondermin into your world. It's a great thing. It's the launch

point though. It's not the endpoint. The launch point to moving from gratitude to grace. And grace is the experience you feel inside you experience inside by helping somebody else. Well, this whole concept continues on. I do a live stream. We get up to 50,000 people on a live stream. And because of that, I'm introduced to a gentleman who is a millionaire out of Dubai. And come to find out that this man several years ago had a spiritual experience. And as he rebuilt his development company

slash real estate development company, he committed to give back to the globe 10 to 15 percent of all of his company's profits. Fabulous. So because of my projects mile, I introduced this company called Revo and Farhan, who's the owner of Revo to my caregivers. I have two of them now. One group has 16, 17 more teenage kids. The other has 44 children under the age of 12. Anyway, long story short, I hook them up. Don't hear much about it. Four months later, I get because I communicate with my

“caregivers through WhatsApp. Revo's coming. Wow, it's fantastic. Revo's here. Why was fantastic?”

Revo and this company, he brought himself and five staff to Uganda. And my young kids got beds, got supplies, got rent paid, and got food for a very long time because this man gave back to them.

I get a video of children who slept on the floor. They've never seen a bed before. The people

from Revo give them beds. My other group, I don't hear from other group for a while. I'm thinking, what happened? We're going to write out my caregiver, loses his phone. Your phone stopped working. Well, long story short, Revo goes there. I say, you know, if you can build them, if you can get them a system for water, and the Revo guy says, no, no, Joe, that we decided we're going to put a borewell in. A borewell. A well. So they go to the second group.

They've invested in a well for a community of a hundred. All of my kids have beds and building a

“school and got them food. I think about that. Now, let me tell you the divinity of all of this.”

Here's Joe and Atlanta. I'm introduced to my second caregivers in Uganda by a guy in Australia. So Joe's talking to Australia, who introduces me to Brother Alan, who's in Uganda. Another gentleman in India introduces me to the men in Dubai. The men in Dubai then go to Uganda and have a hundred a borewell for a hundred and a school for the kids. Where did all that come from? When Joe's coming back from South Africa, my imagination.

I just let my imagination fly. And then eventually the imagination turned into inspiration. It was called Project Smile. And then my project's mom moved into creation. And because of creation, I put it out there in the world. Because I put it out there in the world, I was introduced to Revo. Because Revo was introduced to me through my divinity. Revo goes to Uganda and because of my imagination that I allowed to fly coming back from South

Africa last year. Today as we're speaking the 13th day of April, 70 kids have beds that

never have seen beds before. A community of a hundred have water. They had to go to a stream.

They would walk 45 minutes every day. All because I had the ability to allow my imagination to flow. Does it work? Yes. Now how much money does Joe make on that? Nothing. Zero. So I say to you,

Time did all that happen overnight? No. I introduced Revo to my guys in September, October.

“That's when I started the podcast in November. But in September, October, they didn't get there”

until March five months. So when you let go of time frames, right? And you let go of the idea you have to make money, right? Everything flows even better. So how do we live as a creation of God's image? It starts in your imagination and that starts by dreaming big dreams. You allow your inspirations to develop into it starts in your imagination. You allow your imagination to move into inspirations. From inspirations, you're going to have the ability to create. That in creation is where

humanity and divinity come together. And as humanity and divinity come together, you put it out there in the world because you've asked for the strength and courage from the divinity who gave you

the inspiration in the first place. That same divinity will give you the strength and the courage

and the ability to create it. God can only do for you. God can do through you. It's the through you part where there's a communion between you and your higher sense of self. Put it out there

“in the world. And as you're manifesting, commit to becoming very good at what you love to do. Why?”

Because when you're doing what you love since God is love, when you're doing what you love, you're truly doing God. And the more you do God, the more your world is going to just feel better.
