The jury is still out on Darwins influence in Herbert Spencer's ideas... but the correlation is clear enough to say that Herbert was, in the very least influenced by Darwin, and used Darwin's theories to support wicked ideologies as authoritarianism, eugenics, racism, imperialism, fascism, Nazism This episode merely scratches the surface but it is a good launching pad for you to go out, read, think and ask questions about what you believe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Darwinism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Fr-Laissez-faire.oga https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survival_of_the_fittest Also– If you want to take action even more and live a focus life to achieve your dreams and fulfill your destiny–get my book Anchored the Discipline to Stop Drifting.

The the dream doesn't require a team you aren't dreaming big enough. Last week, Oct 12th, 2019, Eliud Kipchoge and 42 runners, some of them Olympic champions, teamed up so that Kipchoge could break the two hour marathon barrier--a feat many thought would never be possible. Great feats, even if they seem to be only achieved by one person, happen because of a huge team.

As we continue to talk about being change makers, hit an important aspect of doing great work--that is our ability to work in the shadows, our ability to serve and impact our clients or customers even when we aren't getting credit, even when we aren't being seen. This is what it means to have the courage to become an absolutely nobody. If you want to accomplish the greatness upon your life you will need the courage to endure season of obscurity. Seasons of working with out the lime light. It is in that place of hidden work that true character, value, and worth is developed for both you as a person and for the audience that you seek to serve.

Here on the Own the Future we've talked about what it means to be an absolute nobody (back in episode 45 with the story of Franny from J.D. Salinger's novella titled FRANNY AND ZOOEY) Franny wanted to the courage to become an absolute nobody. We also talked--back in Episode 59, about how the most decorated soldiers don't have names--they are nobodies who gave their lives for others. Being absolute nobody is an important variable of walking out becoming change makers. But being an absolute nobody sounds quite depressing and self deprecating. Over the next nine episodes we will explore what it means to be a change maker, greatness, being absolute nobodies, our greatest enemies to success, and the greatest most influential person who is shaping culture today (and it isn't who you think it is).

It is easy to hide in a group, or a system, and pass the buck to someone else, to give excuses why YOU didn't take action to help others--or fight for your own dreams. There is always an excuse. And as we float through life in our "groups" we find the our responsibility has been diffused and group think takes over. Diffusion of responsibility happens because individual group members believe they are not responsible to act, that someone else has acted already, or that somebody will act in the future.

In all the years of the Tour-de-France, France had never won their nation’s own competition. That is, not until 2010, when the French cycling team hired a man named Dave Brailsford to coach them. Cue the Rocky soundtrack over a montage of Brailsford yelling and encouraging his team to train harder, to give it 110 percent. I can imagine them working out in the pouring rain, on the verge of giving up, when by some supernatural force, they find one last ounce of energy to push through to the end. Wrong. Insert sound of screeching soundtrack and tangling film here. Instead, he suggested that they look at every component of bike racing and try to improve it by one percent. That’s it, a boring one percent. Until next time… Be a change maker, weave your destiny, own the future.

Vilfredo Pareto was a leading economist, sociologist, and engineer in the 1800s. He is best known for the Pareto Principle, which is now known as the 80/20 Rule.[i] In short, the Pareto Principle explains the unequal distribution of wealth, income, land ownership, and production. Pareto stumbled upon this principle by observing how eighty percent of the land in France was owned by twenty percent of the population[ii] and that eighty percent of his peas were produced by twenty percent of his pea plants. What can you cut out of your life--and what can you double down on to see exponential gains and growth to reach your goals? [i] Many books have been written about the 80/20 rule over the past decade and how we can apply it to daily living, business, economics, and so on. The Four-Hour Work Week by Tim Ferres and The 80/20 Principle by Richard Koch are two of the best-known books on the topic. [ii] M. E. J.

In my early twenties, I looked at leaders around me who, so I thought, only needed four to six hours of sleep per night. I envied them, so I decided to give it a try. After a week of getting only six hours of sleep a night, I wound up sick, and it took a week or two before I returned to my normal level of productivity. But that was only the beginning of my experimentations with sleep. As a result of my failures, I resented myself, and my body, for needing up to nine hours of sleep to feel rested and to function properly. I fought my “weakness” with all my strength. I dreamed of how amazing it would be to need only six hours of sleep. I fantasized about how much more I could accomplish if only my body would cooperate. I was an ignorant fool. Here is the study mentioned in the episode: Van Dongen HP, Mullington JM, Dinges DF. “The cumulative cost of additional wakefulness: dose-response effects on neurobehavioral functions and sleep physiology from chronic sleep restriction and total sleep deprivation.” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12683469 Until next time… Be a change maker, weave your destiny, own the future.

It was the summer of 1910. Virtually the entire world had been explored, and in the minds of many, only one frontier remained—the South Pole. Thousands of miles away from civilization, Antarctica remained one of the last places untouched by the modern world. Robert Scott from England and Roald Amundsen from Norway led two separate expeditions, racing each other to reach the bottom of the world for land and country. Both men had very different styles of leadership. One last major difference that set Scott and Amundsen apart was their daily schedule. Scott and his men travelled as much each day as the weather and their strength allowed. When the weather permitted it, some days they trekked for up to nine hours straight. During inclement weather, they didn’t leave their tents at all. Amundsen, on the other hand, decided they would travel one-quarter of a degree of latitude every day—which is fifteen nautical miles or around twenty miles a day. Hiking twenty miles a day across Antarctica is hard but realistic. Through blizzards or sunshine, they marched twenty miles each day, no more and no less. On average, they spent five to six hours on their feet each day and up to sixteen hours resting in their tents.

There are one of FOUR things that will happen when you share what you plan on doing, and only one of them is good. The other three will take you out.

Six years ago, 2013, my whole life changed. My western culture was confronted and I set out on a process, a journey, to better understand my culture, the culture of the Middle East--and how to life a focused life that wasn't merely busy, but a life that allowed me to achieve the results that I wanted to see. I began writing. And soon a collection of random thoughts developed into a theme. Begging the question, "How can I stop from drifting through life? How can I reach my goals without spinning my tires?" I began writing as a manifesto to myself and now it has developed into an short actionable book that gives a frame work to view success and the world through. Over the next 10 episodes I will be sharing stories and insights from the book, "Anchored, the Discipline to Stop Drifting" leading up to the release date of Oct 3rd 2019.

Rosa Parks, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, Fawziah al-Bakr, Annie Kenney and tens of thousands of other stood up (or sat down) for their rights. In this episode we don't focus so much on the courage and sacrifice that so many have made throughout history to fight for and defend civil rights... But we recount Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s words after his house was bombed. So many people are standing up today demanding justice and entitlements for themselves. So many are complaining about how they didn't get a fair shake... But our response cannot be to demand our own personal justice, or retribution--instead we must lay down our right and take up the plight of others, not in protest, but in action. What would happen if instead of focusing how we got dealt a bad hand in life, we focused on serving others around us and giving someone else what we never received?

When you are thrown back into your old environment if you aren't careful, it doesn't take long until you slip back into old habit. Yesterday (episode 77) we talked about some of why we can so easily slip back into old patterns and mindsets. Today we talk about how to inoculate yourself so that you will sustain your transformational experience and continue to take leaps forward in your transformational process. You must find the others. (Speaking of others--you can find Seth Godin here and his book "What do to when it's your turn, (and it's always your turn)" here.) Until next time...

What do you do when you have had a life changing experience . . . but all your friends back home are still the same? Maybe you went to University, maybe you took a trip, or moved to another city or country to work or study for a season . . . and you drastically changed. You no longer recognize yourself, you are a different person. But you go home, or call home, and everyone is carrying on with life just as before and you no longer know where you fit. What do you do? Listen to find out. Thank you Reema Suliman for today's question. Until next time... Be a change maker, weave your destiny, own the future.

What do you do when you encounter people resistant to change? (Which was a questions asked by @m_xcii on Instagram) In short--nothing. Yeah nothing. Forget about people resistant to change. Instead find the others. Find the people who are seeking to make the same change you are.

One of the listeners of Weaver and Loom, Abdullah, asked a question on change--and brought up some bad advice some of his friends have been giving him. Namely, don't change or you'll no longer be your true self. The memes, and quotes, and cliches of staying true to yourself and never changing is the most incredible amount of rubbish I've ever heard. This line of thought is terrible on so many levels... listen to this take down. Until next time... Be a change maker, weave your destiny, own the future.

There are three states of being we can live under. Curses: Do good get bad. Karma (Well REAL Karma is something different and we cover that): Do good get good, do bad get bad. Blessing: Do bad get AWESOME. (you know the first that seems to have everything turn to gold around her) We talk about which are you and I might be living under? And how to get to the BLESSING!

We received a question from Hamza Abdi, a listener of the show, asking what to do when we give YEARS to something, whether it be school, relationships, work . . . and then our lives pivot it can seem as if that past season is wasted. BUT New ideas come from the fusion of two old ideas. There are things, and disciplines of thought, relationships, and growth that we take on with us... and if apply them into our new environment unexpected things can happen. Until next time...

Ikigai is a popular buzz word that has been slapped onto a venn diagram. I think it is "alright"--but suspicious of the fact that it is really a "Japanese Philosophy"--more like a Western idea/venn diagram made good by throwing an asian-zen-like-word on top of it. Instead--we talk about three OTHER words that, ironically, also make up a venn diagram which can help you discover your purpose and destiny. LOVE. HATE. FEAR. Listen to the episode...

You are the sum average of the 5 people you spend the most time with. And if you want to grow, you might need to ditch some friends. It is undisputed that the environment which surrounds you determines how you will or won't be able to grow. Often, people spend decades working on themselves, going form self help book to self help book wondering why they can't seem to get any progress--but they neglect to change the environment around them. It is like continuing to planting seeds in dry bed of rocks wondering why nothing ever grows . . . you must change the soil, the environment, to make it suitable for the growth. If you want exponential growth tomorrow, then change your environment today. Until next time... Be a change maker, weave your destiny, own the future.

If you were a farmer, it would be foolish to plant at harvest time, plow in the middle of the season, or expect to harvest your crop in the when you should be are planting. Yet, in other areas of our lives we mix up our season all the time. Know what season you are in--and order your life according to your season. If you fail to do so, you will end up frustrated and wondering why "nothing seems to be working" Until next time... Be a change maker, weave your destiny, own the future.

We can fly (AKA live) only what we see . . . limiting ourselves to only flying when we can see and being stuck when storms and dark times come our way. OR we can learn to fly by what we don't see, but know, feel, believe, and TRUST to be true. How do you fly? Until next time... Be a change maker, weave your destiny, own the future.

There are three laws of Thermodynamics: The first law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system. (You were born with it in you) The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of any isolated system always increases. The third law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of a system approaches a constant value as the temperature approaches absolute zero. You were born with "it" in you--and meant to release your art and your energy. Your work will alway tend toward chaos--it is your job to organize and build systems day in and day out. The entire universe (by the very laws of physic) is working against you. So if you are "at peace", fearless, issueless, facing no resistance--it is because you have succumbed to the universe and fallen asleep to your destiny. Until next time...

When creating anything, communicating anything, leading anything--we must ask and answer these two questions: Who is it for? What is it for? Then you must reflect and see if your actions are mapping to your audience and desired out come. Often times our action are mapping to a who and what that is very different than what we CLAIM we are building. Until next time... Be a change maker, weave your destiny, own the future.

We have the choice to live easy lives (Or lay down wishing they were easy), or the stand up and strive to overcome against all odds. Only you can choose who you want to be. No one else can make that choice for you. No one else can wake you up every morning and think, live, eat, work, love, care, act differently. You are responsible. Period.

We have recently discussed how happiness is a choice... ...but is a choice that should never come at the expense of sweeping pain, suffering, wounds, offenses, hurt, bitterness under the rug. AKA--don't live in denial. For you and I to be change-makers in the world, we must first become changed. That is--we need to become whole and healed individuals. Because you can't give someone something you don't have... Before we pretend we are happy, or boast about how we are gonna build some great company or piece of art . . . let's clean house. Let's clean up our messes and forgive those who have left messes of our lives. Then, and only then, will we be able to weave our destines. Be a change-maker, weave your destiny, own your future.

Masses around the globe are pushing for personal freedom. Yet, and the masses step into greater levels of "freedom" it comes with the cost of losing sense of purpose, meaning, significance, and destiny. The willful embrace of responsibility (for ourselves first, then those we are over, then those we relate to, and those we touch and then the world at large) leads us to to a deep sense of meaning and purpose in life. The willful taking on of the plight, suffering, and darkness in ourselves and others launches us into our destiny. Like Sheikh Zayed, founder of the UAE, he could have chosen personal freedom, instead he went village to village, camp fire to camp fire paying tribes and families to send their children to school. He build a nation--but he didn't have you. What is in front of YOU to do . . . that isn't required, but it is an invitation to give your best years for something other than yourself. Be a change-maker, weave your destiny, own your future. Until next time...
