“I Can’t Believe I Head Butted That Guy”
Sunday was a beautiful summer day that screamed “Get Out Of The House!”, little did I know (for me), it also screamed “You’re Probably Going To Head Butt Someone Today”, but it did. Here’s how it all went down . . .
(Before I say anything further, let me just say this. Never in my life have I gotten into a fight or head butted a person. I guess, I can’t say that anymore.)
Me and my lady friend Kim got out of the house in the late afternoon for some sun and sushi, so we headed to downtown DC and went to one of our favorite little sushi spots called Nooshi on 19th street.
We had some fried crab and corn wontons, threw back a few Saporro’s, and a few rolls of sushi (including my favorite - spicy crunchy yellowtail).
As we sat there, not even in my wildest of dreams could I have imagined what was soon to transpire.
So we get up and decide to go for a walk. Kim wants to go to a little hookah bar in Adams Morgan called Soussi, so that’s where we head.
About 25 minutes later we’re there. We go inside. We get a table. She orders a drink and mixed berry flavored hookah and we hang out.
Truthfully, I was tired and wanted to go home, but instead of falling asleep I decide to get me a Redbull and vodka.
Not to long after they started a series of old school rap songs that I hadn’t heard in years, so we stayed a little longer (3 hours or so longer)
About 10 at night we head out to catch a cab back home, but I decide I want to get a BIG slice (and when I say big I mean HUGE) of pizza at restaurant about a block and a half away, so we walk over.
I order and in walks a knuckle head with a girl. They’re arguing. Things get heated and the sucker starts throwing things at her.
The guys in pizza shop tell them to leave.
He’s sloppy drunk and ignores them.
A few second later he hits the girl and before I can think I go over and knock the dude on his ass and hold him down one with one arm. After about 30 seconds I let him up, but keep him away from the girl.
While I turn my head he head butts me. Without thinking, I return the favor and throw the punk out.
Two minutes later my pizza is ready. I pay for it. I tip the guy. The store owner thanks me, and Kim and I walk out.
Now, why do I share this little story with you? It’s certainly not to say I’m one for violence and fighting, or to say “hey look at me I saved the day”, no.
Simply this.
Life calls for action.
You’re in your business or you aspire right now to be in one NOT so much because you logically went through the pro and cons of starting a business, but rather, because you were driven by something deep down inside to act.
Maybe at first you only saw the potential to make money.
Maybe it was because you aspired to become rich.
Maybe it was because you wanted more control and freedom and you saw those things available to you.
Maybe it was because you wanted to be hero for your family and friends.
Whatever it was, it sparked a feeling. Do you remember how liberating that felt?
In that split second you didn’t think about what might happen, you just went for it. You acted.
In that moment, your life changed, all possibilities opened up for you, for that moment you were the success you desired, but probably didn’t even know it (I know I didn’t).
And one truth I’ve found that supersedes all others is your success lies in that feeling in that moment when you acted. Harnessing it. Never letting it go. Never letting anyone or anything diminish it.
You keep that feeling and guess what happens?
You keep acting.
You loose that feeling and you stop.
Attaining your hearts desires is simpler than we think.
It’s not a trick or strategy that you can learn. It’s that feeling of limitless possibility that excites each of us to act. You keep that fire burning and WILL do everything it takes to get to your destination.
Why?
Because ONLY there do all obstacles and past experiences fad into nothingness freeing you to simply go do what must be done, and . . . When you’re there success becomes both inevitable and effortless.
That’s where to magic lives.
Acting to stop a girl from getting beat up in the pizza shop without thinking about it and you doing whatever must be done to create the future you see in your dreams are no different.
Simply relax, LOVE where you are now, focus that feeling and ride it to your ultimate life.
To the top,
