0:50

Sunday episodes of the show

0:52

are my chance to pump

0:54

you up. to give you a little

0:56

inspiration, a little motivation, a little kick

0:58

in the butt, if that's what you

1:00

need today before you start the new

1:02

week. And today's

1:05

episode is inspired

1:07

by my teenage son,

1:10

or I should say it is

1:12

inspired by his baseball coach. Sawyer

1:14

started a new school this year,

1:17

and in starting a new school,

1:19

it meant that he started a

1:21

new baseball team, which was awesome

1:23

for a bunch of reasons, but

1:25

mostly because the team at his

1:27

new school and the coaches

1:29

at his new school take

1:31

baseball as seriously as Sawyer

1:33

does, or maybe more so.

1:36

But when he came onto the team this

1:38

year, We had the initial

1:40

kickoff call with the whole team and

1:42

the parents and all the coaching

1:44

staff. And his coach said something that

1:46

I thought was so smart. He

1:49

said, we have a theme

1:51

for this year. And y 'all know

1:53

I love a theme. But

1:56

I never in all these years of

1:58

being a parent had a coach of

2:00

my kids team give

2:02

the kids an intention for

2:05

the entire season. And this

2:07

coach did. He said, Our

2:09

theme is unfinished

2:11

business. Unfinished

2:15

business. Now, Lore has it

2:17

that last year, they got very

2:19

close to winning a championship,

2:21

but it didn't work out in

2:23

the end. So they came

2:25

into the new season saying, we've

2:27

got unfinished business. We didn't do

2:29

what we knew we could do

2:31

last year. And so by golly,

2:34

this year is gonna be our

2:36

year. So it's their

2:38

theme. They have it on shirts. They

2:40

talk about it all the time. They're

2:42

going into each and every game saying,

2:44

hey, remember what it felt like when

2:46

we didn't get where we know we

2:48

should have gotten to last year? That's

2:50

our unfinished business. And we're bringing that

2:52

energy into this game. And

2:54

I think that is one

2:56

hell of a good intention

2:58

for anybody. So what I

3:00

want to ask you today is, what's

3:03

your unfinished business? That's

3:06

what today is all about. Today's

3:09

episode is

3:11

for the part of you

3:13

that still remembers. The

3:16

part that remembers the

3:18

dream, the plan, the

3:20

ideas that you had when you

3:22

were younger, those things that you were

3:24

so excited about, but life got

3:26

in the way. I want to

3:28

talk to that version of you. Can you think

3:30

of who that is? Can you go

3:33

back to last year, 10 years ago,

3:35

25 years ago, maybe when you were

3:37

a kid, can you go back to

3:39

that version of you? That

3:42

version that has

3:44

unfinished business. What I

3:46

love about this idea

3:48

is there's something empowering, there's something,

3:50

you know, stand up and

3:53

take control about unfinished business.

3:55

It just sounds gritty, right?

3:57

It just sounds like you're

3:59

gonna do something. as

4:01

opposed to most people

4:03

who remember that version of

4:05

themselves and feel shame. The

4:08

baseball team doesn't feel shame. They feel

4:10

empowered because they know they had

4:13

more to give and they are standing

4:15

up again to see if they

4:17

can. And this

4:19

philosophy doesn't mean that you're

4:21

meant to grind harder or

4:23

never sleep or any of

4:26

that other toxic productivity that

4:28

doesn't do us any good. It

4:31

means that somewhere along the line,

4:34

you laid something down.

4:36

Not because you didn't care. You

4:40

laid it down because you had to. Maybe

4:42

you became a parent. Maybe you

4:45

got new responsibility. Maybe it

4:47

wasn't the right time or place.

4:49

Maybe the dream felt too

4:51

big or too scary. Maybe

4:53

you felt like that version of

4:55

you didn't fit inside of the

4:57

life that you needed to live.

5:00

At that time, but just

5:02

because you put it down

5:04

doesn't mean it disappeared. It's

5:07

still here. It's

5:10

been waiting for you. That's

5:12

what today's episode is. This

5:15

is my very

5:17

loving but firm

5:20

reminder to

5:22

pick it back up. You've

5:24

got unfinished business

5:26

and it's time to return

5:28

to it. not out

5:31

of guilt or pressure, but

5:33

out of honor. Honor

5:35

for who you are. Honor

5:38

for who you used to be, that

5:40

version of you that first dreamed

5:42

this dream. Honor for who you know

5:44

you can become. Maybe

5:47

you used to write songs. Maybe

5:49

you dreamed of starting your own

5:51

business or writing a book or

5:53

creating a YouTube channel. Maybe

5:56

you were building a healthier

5:58

life and then Everything crashed and

6:00

you lost your rhythm. Life

6:03

happens. But

6:05

you are not broken just

6:08

because you paused. You

6:10

are human. And

6:13

now, this

6:15

moment, listening to this

6:17

episode, it's finding you

6:19

here for a reason. Because

6:22

today, you are stronger

6:24

than you were back then. You

6:26

are wiser. You are

6:28

more capable. So if

6:30

there's something tugging at you, an

6:34

idea that keeps resurfacing, that you

6:36

can't let go of, that project

6:38

you keep circling back to, or

6:40

that lifestyle that you know would

6:43

make you feel so much better, that

6:46

is a whisper that won't

6:48

leave you alone for a

6:50

reason. Pay attention.

6:54

That's your unfinished

6:56

business. That's

6:58

the part of you that is

7:00

calling you back to who you

7:02

are meant to be. Okay,

7:05

so how do we do this? Step

7:07

one, you have

7:09

to have the courage to name it. Like

7:12

Babe Ruth calling your shot, you have

7:15

to have the courage to admit

7:17

the dream to yourself. Even if you

7:19

don't yet have the courage to

7:21

admit it to anyone else, admit it

7:23

to you. Write

7:25

it down. Be honest.

7:28

Put it somewhere that you can see it.

7:30

Nobody else has to see this. Put

7:32

it in your journal, write it on a

7:34

post -it, hide it in the glove compartment

7:36

of your car, put it on your

7:38

mirror, like put it somewhere. Have

7:41

the courage to name

7:43

the dream. The second

7:45

thing you need to do is

7:47

forgive yourself. You

7:49

don't owe anyone an apology

7:51

for putting it down. You

7:54

are not behind. You

7:56

are not lazy. You are not a failure.

7:58

You made the best choice you could with

8:00

the energy and resources you had

8:02

at the time. But

8:04

now, now you've got

8:07

more clarity. Now you've got

8:09

a little more strength. Now you've got a

8:11

little more space and you get to try

8:13

it again. So let's do

8:15

that. The next thing

8:17

that you're going to do is

8:19

one action. This

8:22

week, take one

8:24

action in the direction

8:26

of that thing. You

8:29

don't have to write the whole book. You don't

8:31

have to run the whole marathon. Set

8:34

a 30 -minute timer and

8:36

create the outline or

8:38

pull out your paints or

8:40

make a smoothie or

8:42

text a friend and get

8:44

some accountability. But whatever

8:46

your unfinished business is, it

8:49

starts again with one

8:51

small action. Today, you

8:53

don't need a five -year plan. You

8:56

don't need a new planner. You

8:58

don't need perfect conditions. You

9:00

need movement forward. Even

9:03

a step the size

9:05

of a tiny

9:07

little inch. You

9:09

are not too late. You

9:11

are not too old. You

9:14

are not too far behind. You've

9:16

got a little unfinished

9:18

business and that's a beautiful

9:21

thing. It

9:23

means there's more for you. More

9:26

to say, more to create,

9:28

more to become. So

9:30

let's take the next step. Let's

9:33

be amazed together at what

9:35

we're capable of. Some

9:38

Some things are just better together. Chips
