You've heard of "fake it till you make it."
And you may have heard of "make it till you make it."
But there's a third level: " Faith it till you make it." When the odds say you won't make it, you still soldier on.

00:00:00.050 --> 00:00:03.678
You've heard the term, fake it till you make it.
00:00:04.849 --> 00:00:05.870
Everybody has.
00:00:06.650 --> 00:00:08.480
That's when you feel like a fraud.
00:00:09.169 --> 00:00:13.699
You're putting on a front, hoping that you become the part.
00:00:14.718 --> 00:00:18.140
And then there's a concept that I learned called make it till You Make it.
00:00:18.140 --> 00:00:18.184
It.
00:00:18.635 --> 00:00:23.344
And that's a concept that I read from creative calling Chase Jarvis's book.
00:00:23.734 --> 00:00:42.304
And it's where you don't necessarily pretend, but you're just putting in the reps iterations, you're making progress, and you make you learn, you adjust, you repeat, you do until it becomes real.
00:00:43.354 --> 00:00:45.155
But I want to talk to you about a third one.
00:00:45.590 --> 00:00:47.210
The first one's fake it till you make it.
00:00:47.539 --> 00:00:49.340
The second one is make it till you make it.
00:00:50.270 --> 00:00:53.450
This one is faith it till you make it.
00:00:54.020 --> 00:00:57.409
Not fake it, not just make it faith.
00:00:57.409 --> 00:00:59.411
It there's a difference.
00:01:00.371 --> 00:01:02.262
Take the Wright brothers for example.
00:01:02.892 --> 00:01:09.552
The Wright brothers had no reason to believe that they could fly everything.
00:01:09.552 --> 00:01:14.262
They had the data, the textbooks, the experts.
00:01:14.772 --> 00:01:21.882
All said flight was impossible, at least for a thousand years before man could fly.
00:01:23.081 --> 00:01:27.611
Yet in just a few years, they were in the air.
00:01:28.858 --> 00:01:33.899
And when I heard that story, I was like, why did they keep going?
00:01:35.338 --> 00:01:41.968
Why did they push forward when all of the data said that it wouldn't work?
00:01:45.418 --> 00:01:46.528
Because they have faith.
00:01:47.728 --> 00:01:49.679
They believed in the work they were doing.
00:01:50.218 --> 00:01:55.528
They were pulled by curiosity and driven by something deeper.
00:01:57.058 --> 00:01:58.319
That's that hum inside.
00:01:59.069 --> 00:02:02.608
That's that voice that whispers.
00:02:02.968 --> 00:02:06.149
I can't do this yet.
00:02:06.478 --> 00:02:07.198
You still do it.
00:02:07.198 --> 00:02:09.868
Anyway, that's a calling.
00:02:10.769 --> 00:02:25.799
And when you have that kind of calling, I. When the odds say no, you go anyway, because the thing about odds, odds require someone on the other side to succeed.
00:02:26.549 --> 00:02:28.318
Otherwise, it's not called odds.
00:02:28.979 --> 00:02:30.088
It's called a guarantee.
00:02:31.679 --> 00:02:32.788
Faith until you make it.
00:02:33.688 --> 00:02:35.188
See, that's something that's spiritual.
00:02:35.729 --> 00:02:39.538
It's developmental, it's a grind, it's a hum.
00:02:39.929 --> 00:02:40.528
It's a growth.
00:02:42.449 --> 00:02:47.038
I heard something recently that just totally resonated with me.
00:02:47.848 --> 00:02:58.558
People overestimate what God can do in a year, yet they underestimate what he can do in 10, 20, or even 40 years.
00:02:59.878 --> 00:03:01.558
So you gotta be in it for the long haul.
00:03:02.218 --> 00:03:05.248
There's a spiritual evolution that's happening inside of you.
00:03:06.028 --> 00:03:08.294
Don't rush it, just work it.
00:03:09.299 --> 00:03:16.139
You may be in a make it till you make it phase, and that's cool, noble, that's cool.
00:03:16.408 --> 00:03:25.829
You're putting in the work, you're improving, you're getting better, but eventually you're gonna hit a point where only faith can carry you Further.
00:03:26.908 --> 00:03:28.829
Faith means that there's no guarantee.
00:03:29.519 --> 00:03:32.128
Faith means that you keep going despite the data.
00:03:32.549 --> 00:03:37.588
Faith means that you work while you wait, because Faith without Works is dead.
00:03:38.234 --> 00:03:42.704
And if you haven't found your thing yet, you will right now.
00:03:43.454 --> 00:03:44.354
Just keep making it.
00:03:44.804 --> 00:03:47.264
But stay open, stay receptive.
00:03:47.984 --> 00:03:49.093
There's a next level.
00:03:49.364 --> 00:03:54.193
There's something greater that you can't currently see.
00:03:54.193 --> 00:03:56.954
Right now, something's calling you higher.
00:03:57.463 --> 00:04:01.843
For me, it's making a living at being a full-time podcaster.
00:04:02.653 --> 00:04:05.264
From where I stand right now from my past.
00:04:05.653 --> 00:04:10.843
It seems impossible yet.
00:04:10.843 --> 00:04:12.163
Isn't that what most dreams are?
00:04:13.033 --> 00:04:13.723
It should be.
00:04:15.074 --> 00:04:17.593
Otherwise it'd be just reality.
00:04:18.014 --> 00:04:20.744
Dreams are where you're standing here with something.
00:04:21.374 --> 00:04:24.553
You have this internal hum, something that's pulling at you.
00:04:24.913 --> 00:04:33.613
Something that, regardless of the odds, in spite of the odds, in spite of the obstacles, in spite of what it looks like right now.
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:40.588
You gotta keep going, not for fame, but for freedom.
00:04:41.189 --> 00:04:50.684
I wanna be able to travel with my family, live boldly, be flexible, yet challenged free, yet still climbing.
00:04:52.903 --> 00:04:57.358
So I bring this to you to ask you, what's that thing for you?
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:01.829
For me, I don't know how far off it is.
00:05:02.129 --> 00:05:07.199
I don't, I don't even know what it totally looks like yet, but I know it's mine.
00:05:08.459 --> 00:05:09.209
What's yours?
00:05:10.139 --> 00:05:19.199
Just keep showing up, keep learning, keep evolving, keep living what you're learning because the journey I'm on isn't just for me.
00:05:19.949 --> 00:05:24.569
It's so that I can turn around and help others, especially people in their forties.
00:05:24.944 --> 00:05:30.173
Fifties and sixties I wanna show 'em what's possible on the other side of too late.
00:05:30.684 --> 00:05:32.093
See, too late is a lie.
00:05:33.264 --> 00:05:34.283
So what are you building?
00:05:35.093 --> 00:05:36.053
What are you dreaming?
00:05:36.624 --> 00:05:40.043
What's the thing that keeps tapping you on the shoulder?
00:05:41.423 --> 00:05:42.389
Faith until you make it.
00:05:45.504 --> 00:05:45.687
Yes, it's gonna take courage.
00:05:46.673 --> 00:05:50.783
Yes, it's gonna be an investment and there are no guarantees.
00:05:51.699 --> 00:05:56.949
You're not just chasing the outcome, you're chasing something new, someone new.
00:05:58.718 --> 00:06:12.038
That's why it's so hard for me to explain to others, and I really don't talk about it much at all, because it's not just about, it's not even about the object or the result.
00:06:14.408 --> 00:06:19.959
It's that I can't quench that internal burn.
00:06:21.009 --> 00:06:26.108
That internal fire and I get there are odds.
00:06:27.249 --> 00:06:27.968
I don't care.
00:06:29.019 --> 00:06:42.069
See, odds mean that someone made it odds prove possibility because if it were impossible, it wouldn't be called odds, it'd be called certainty.
00:06:44.108 --> 00:06:49.149
The way I look at it is I'd rather try and fail than succeed at never trying.
00:06:49.884 --> 00:06:50.723
That's a fact.
00:06:51.173 --> 00:06:51.923
You can book it.
00:06:54.384 --> 00:06:58.824
So let me ask you again, what's your faith until you make it?
00:06:59.874 --> 00:07:09.293
What's that soul stirring, heart thumping thing that you're willing to go all in, even if no one else believes?
00:07:10.853 --> 00:07:18.564
Because the truth of the matter is you don't need anyone else to believe you believe.
00:07:20.514 --> 00:07:22.584
And you faith it till you make it.
00:07:23.634 --> 00:07:24.324
Let's get outta here.
00:07:24.324 --> 00:07:24.923
Keep it simple.
00:07:24.923 --> 00:07:25.494
Keep it moving.
00:07:25.494 --> 00:07:26.033
Never settle.
00:07:26.033 --> 00:07:26.574
Stay tough.
00:07:26.574 --> 00:07:27.024
Peace.
00:00:00.050 --> 00:00:03.678
You've heard the term, fake it till you make it.
00:00:04.849 --> 00:00:05.870
Everybody has.
00:00:06.650 --> 00:00:08.480
That's when you feel like a fraud.
00:00:09.169 --> 00:00:13.699
You're putting on a front, hoping that you become the part.
00:00:14.718 --> 00:00:18.140
And then there's a concept that I learned called make it till You Make it.
00:00:18.140 --> 00:00:18.184

And that's a concept that I read from creative calling Chase Jarvis's book.
00:00:23.734 --> 00:00:42.304
And it's where you don't necessarily pretend, but you're just putting in the reps iterations, you're making progress, and you make you learn, you adjust, you repeat, you do until it becomes real.
00:00:43.354 --> 00:00:45.155
But I want to talk to you about a third one.
00:00:45.590 --> 00:00:47.210
The first one's fake it till you make it.
00:00:47.539 --> 00:00:49.340
The second one is make it till you make it.
00:00:50.270 --> 00:00:53.450

00:00:57.409 --> 00:00:59.411

Faith until you make it.
00:02:33.688 --> 00:02:35.188

Don't rush it, just work it.

You may be in a make it till you make it phase, and that's cool, noble, that's cool.

00:05:41.423 --> 00:05:42.389
Faith until you make it.
00:05:45.504 --> 00:05:45.687
Yes, it's gonna take courage.
00:05:46.673 --> 00:05:50.783
Yes, it's gonna be an investment and there are no guarantees.
00:05:51.699 --> 00:05:56.949

It's that I can't quench that internal burn.
00:06:21.009 --> 00:06:26.108
That internal fire and I get there are odds.
00:06:27.249 --> 00:06:27.968
I don't care.
00:06:29.019 --> 00:06:42.069
See, odds mean that someone made it odds prove possibility because if it were impossible, it wouldn't be called odds, it'd be called certainty.
00:06:44.108 --> 00:06:49.149
The way I look at it is I'd rather try and fail than succeed at never trying.
00:06:49.884 --> 00:06:50.723
That's a fact.
00:06:51.173 --> 00:06:51.923
You can book it.
00:06:54.384 --> 00:06:58.824
So let me ask you again, what's your faith until you make it?
00:06:59.874 --> 00:07:09.293
What's that soul stirring, heart thumping thing that you're willing to go all in, even if no one else believes?
00:07:10.853 --> 00:07:18.564
Because the truth of the matter is you don't need anyone else to believe you believe.
00:07:20.514 --> 00:07:22.584
And you faith it till you make it.
00:07:23.634 --> 00:07:24.324
Let's get outta here.
00:07:24.324 --> 00:07:24.923
Keep it simple.
00:07:24.923 --> 00:07:25.494
Keep it moving.
00:07:25.494 --> 00:07:26.033
Never settle.
00:07:26.033 --> 00:07:26.574
Stay tough.
00:07:26.574 --> 00:07:27.024
Peace.
