[00:03:29] INTERVIEW Dr Philip Agrios 27 Nov 2023: Hey, Dr. Phil, how are you today brother? Great, David, man. It's great to be here. Thank you so much. I'm honored to be here with you. Oh, it's my, it's a true honor to have you as a guest.

I just told our listeners around the world a little bit about you, but before we go any further into your story and into the awesome content that you're gonna bring today, If our listeners hang through this episode and you guarantee them one truth or one principle that you will address and it will benefit them in their [00:04:00] life, what is that that they can count on in this episode?

They can count on that there is just one thing for them to focus on for the rest of their lives in order to rise above any adversity that comes their way. Amen. And then this is specifically in the context of self self sabotage, correct? Yeah, whether, whatever they're coming, you know, when, when you have a, an adversity or some type of challenge coming in, there's always a protective state that you put yourself in.

That's one trait that they were born with that's protecting them. And what they're going to learn that there's something that they can do to switch it. In order to switch that trade off so they can move forward and and, and impact the world that they really know that they can impact. Yeah. A lot of us, many times, what is it?

The saying, the enemy we know is often better than the enemy we don't know. So we try to protect ourselves and stay, even though we don't like where we're at, we try to stay where we're at because we're [00:05:00] the unfamiliar, even subconsciously is just too hard for us to accept. Right. Yeah, and it's, you know, that thing, a lot of times, that one thing that is in front of us isn't really that thing that's bothering us, it's what it represents, the thousands of other things that represent that, that our subconscious mind is seeing as a foe, not a friend.

All right, well let's get into this episode, and what we'll do is we'll start off... You've become passionate and an expert at this. How did you get there? Right? So where some people they start in their childhood because it's such formative years and it plays into their future. All of us, all of our experiences play into who we are today.

The good, bad, the ugly, the pretty, the pretty ugly, right? But start off chronologically your life and we'll just walk through, ask questions on the way. And then we'll come to where are you today, Dr. Phil, and where are you going? So after you help us for, I know, I know you're going to [00:06:00] help us and help people break that self sabotage or at least get started.

Then we're in transition to where you are today and where you're heading, so we can help you get there next. Sound good? Tell, I'm in. Awesome. And just the audience knows, but a quick reminder, if you see me looking at my phone a lot, it's not because I'm not listening to Dr. Phil, it's because I'm taking notes.

So Dr. Phil, I forgot to mention that in our pre call. If you see me looking at my phone, that's why. Where were your origins? Where are you from? What was your upbringing like? Brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles? Orphanage? What was Dr. Phil's past like? So I grew up in a family my mom was Italian, my father was Greek, and I have one brother who is about six years older than I lived on, on the shore in New Jersey, grew up there, and it was a typical European, you know, growing up where, you know, you, you got in trouble, you got your butt kicked, right, to make sure you keep yourself in line, and so, yeah, it [00:07:00] was Interesting childhood.

And I so going through at the high school, I went to University of Scranton up in Pennsylvania. And I was interested in becoming a surgeon. And I realized that during one of our labs, you had to, you know, dissect a shark. And I was, I was gluing the cranial nerves back on the shark 'cause the shark's all cartilage and yet had to have a lot of patients.

I realized, don't think this is really what I should be doing. And so I was kind of confused and then I know in the past my own family, my grandmother had cancer and she was cured through nutrition. And I went through a chiropractor when I was injured. And and so we were more of a understood more of a holistic approach.

So I thought about maybe being a chiropractor and During the process, people go, Oh, you're going to become a [00:08:00] backcracker. And I used to get on the defensive and I had no idea why. And so I looked into it and I realized that, you know, I, a friend of mine, his father was a chiropractor and we happened to go to his house up in the Poconos in Pennsylvania, and he kind of asked me what I really want to do.

And I told him what my passion was. I like to work with my hands and, you know, my grandmother was cured and all these other things. And he says, you have, you know, you have a thought process of a chiropractor. So, I thought about it and I decided to go to chiropractic school. And I did that in St.

Louis, in Missouri. And from there that's where I started to really look at things in a much different way. Yeah, and what year was that roughly? Because Chiropractic medicine is so valuable, but even today, it's still, sometimes people are ignorantly, they don't think it has value. Oh man, it's back in the eighties, man.

So yeah, it was, I graduated in 1985 and yeah, so yeah, that was, it [00:09:00] was not looked upon that well, but. You know, when I first started to practice, I went out and I just promoted myself. I did things differently. I always looked for new things. You know, I was one of the first persons to have like a massage therapist.

I was one of the first guys that had a multi discipline clinic where I had medical doctors working for me, but my passion was sports. So I was focusing on sports chiropractic and the athletes really saw a difference in that. And so that's why also how I built my my practice as well. I did from national international sporting events.

And so, you know, you just, you know, after the second year being a practice, I stopped defending my practice my, my profession because. You know, there's always people out there that's not going to do show your profession well. And so I had to show them the part of me and how passionate I was and how we could help people in different ways.

So I [00:10:00] went out and I took a lot of different techniques. It wasn't just an adjusting. I did a lot of muscle work. We did work with rehab had physical therapy, always trying to build My practice up to being the higher standard than everybody around me and how I could help more people in a much faster and quicker way.

And when you were doing this, what were your parents reaction? Were they just like follow your dream? Were they like, what are you doing? Cause you're going to go to school to be a surgeon. What was their reaction? My, my parents try to talk me out of it. They're like, you know, cause You know, back then I had, you know, a little ADHD and I wasn't really focused too well, and I really didn't have a mentor, and I just tried to figure it out on my own, and I said, no, this is what I really want to do, and they supported me, and the first year in my in college, it was like, you know, Greek and Italian, I was out, I had freedom, and I, Did not do great.

I think I pulled like a point, a 2. 8 and they almost, [00:11:00] they threw me out of pre med and I went into a thing called med tech and I realized, Ooh, it's time to wake up and grow up. So went to intermission intersession is called. This was like, you can take a couple of classes in between the first and second semester.

I pulled the 4. 0 and then I started pulling 3. 6's, 3. 8's and I got really serious about it to show people that. You know, I can do this and and go forward. And then I got accepted in chiropractic school and, and 82 and started my journey there. Yeah, and you saw that on your own, obviously, through a little bit of failure, you saw that I need to make a change.

What were some of the things, if you remember, that you implemented in your life to say, Hey, it's time to be a big boy, put on the big boy pants. This is how we do it. How did you make that switch from almost failing out to getting back up to the 4. 0? I didn't want to let my parents down, that I, they were right.

Right. [00:12:00] And, it just showed that I just didn't want to be looked as a failure to my peers and everybody else. And it was, it was humbling. And yeah, I took that negative and I took it and I turned into a positive. And that's where I have, I think at that moment, something switched within me saying, this is your destiny.

If you don't go through this, then you're not going to go and be where you need to be. So You know, I, you know, it wasn't it wasn't good to have a roommate in the beginning who, who smoked pot and stuff like that. And so I didn't, I never did, but it was just, it was too lax. I didn't have the discipline, people around me, the discipline.

So I found people that had the discipline, started studying with them that way. And it helped me because I knew I worked better in a surroundings and studying on my own. Got you. So now you're in college, you're studying, you make that shift and you're like, this is serious man, I gotta, I gotta do this, we're spending money and [00:13:00] time, let's do this right.

Where does your life go from there, Dr. Phil? So from there I got I was I went into chiropractic school called Logan College of Chiropractic. Now it's called Logan University. And even more freedom, you know, I was a thousand miles away from home. It was great. I could be who I wanted to be.

And I had some good friends that they wanted to have they wanted to be successful as well. So during that process during the chiropractic situation the experience was able to really. Focus on my studies and do well in an area. And near the end, we, we actually created a sports it was called the, called the red badge, which means you had an expertise in something.

And we created was a sports medicine, red badge, and we created all the curriculum for that and still there. So when I got out of chiropractic [00:14:00] school, I went to Peoria, Illinois which was it's an interesting experience. It, it wasn't that great, but I got myself there for, you know, I practiced there with somebody for about a year and then said, you know, I'm going back home and just starting my own practice.

And that's what I did. I just, before that, I hired a management company for six months to show me how to. Have a successful practice and followed exactly what they told me to did what to do. And then as soon as I started I was successful my first month and I started to continue doing that. And from there I went from 850 square foot clinic to 1, 700 square foot clinic to a 3, 000 square foot clinic over like three or four years.

Yeah, that's great growth. That's amazing. So. You made a point that you bought into a program, you listened to what they had to say, but then you applied it, right? Talk to [00:15:00] our audience about, because this ties into what you're doing today how important was it? Like, if you did your own thing, let's say based on your experience at that age, you would have done X or, you know, you had other people telling you to do Y and they're telling you to do Z.

How important was that mentoring and coaching? You know, I always tell people a good mentor will take 10 years off your learning. Right. If you're stuck and you can't get through something and, and you don't know how to do it, instead of trying to, you know, buy a little this and buy a little program hand, oh, I'll try this on my own.

Just follow the person that has already achieved the success that you want. I think Tony Bin said that a long time ago was mirror the person that was successful. That's why I, me, me, I don't believe in college unless you need a certification and a license, because I think. I think there was stats a long time ago.

It was like 80 percent of the people who actually went to college are not doing what they went [00:16:00] to school for. If you found a really good mentor in that field, do exactly what they do and you'll be successful compared to trying to figuring it out or getting in a job that you hate. So you know, that's my, I've always believed in that and made sure that I would follow the best.

And sometimes, you know, what you consider the best, isn't the best. And if you have to experience it, you have to experience it, but you could continue to learn. You keep on the, the evolution path, right? Cause when you evolve, you have to dissolve at the same time, right? So either way, if you, if you're not evolving, you're dissolving.

And if you're not dissolving, you're evolving. So you always have to realize you're always in that growth and contraction bit. And are you doing this compared to constantly being the same routine over and over again in that hamster wheel. So now you're listening to this coach. You have your own practice.

[00:17:00] You're growing rapidly. That's amazing growth. Where does your life go from there? A brick wall. So when I started cause I always wanted to expand and help as many people as I could with different modalities. And I hired what I thought was the best consultant in the country. He had touted that he had over 800 clinics and showing how chiropractors move into a medical establishment where that they can have, they can hire medical doctors and expand their practices.

So I hired the guy. Well, about, I think it was about two years later, I get a knock on the door and I'm sitting in my office. It happened to be a break and I get a call from my front essay. The Chiropractic and the medical board are here and they want to see files. And I went, [00:18:00] what, what are you talking about?

So I went out there and I'm like, What's going on? I don't have no idea what you're doing. So they had gotten some type of tip or whatever. I was like, go ahead, go in. I have nothing. I go for it. I had nothing to do. Afterwards, I get a lawsuit against me that saying that my practice is a scam, a sham, and that three things are going to happen to me.

I'm going to go to jail because of fraud. I'm going to have to pay back three times of what I was given by the insurance company. And I was going to lose my chiropractic license. And I freaked out because I always follow the little letter of the law and make sure everything was fine. So during that whole process, process, the stress was [00:19:00] immense and Getting a lawyer and fighting them.

And then, you know, later on finding out that the, the mayor of the town over from me was a, was the lawyer for Allstate and wanted to go after me because that would be another great thing. You know, nailed a chiropractor who was dirty, right? So during that process, my father was diagnosed with brain cancer.

So he was saved. healthy 71 year old walked all the time and all of a sudden he's got brain cancer. So during that whole process and stress, I then became disabled. I couldn't practice anymore. The stress and I, what happened was I had developed a thing called thoracic outlet syndrome, which caused weakness and numbness down both my hands.

I had carpal tunnel in both hands, as well as I used to get out of bed feeling like I was walking on glass. And I was in [00:20:00] my late thirties. And during that whole process, I had to go on disability because I couldn't adjust anymore. It was too painful. And so, oh, no, I'm sorry. Before that, I was, because of other, you know, that end of it, seven months later you know, my father had passed away.

And because I was focusing all on him and everything else, it was going to different places, different doctors. I left my practice to another chiropractor, my office manager, and my practice died. So now I'm trying to revive that along with everything else. And during the process, They finally realized that I did nothing wrong.

Nothing ever happened to my chiropractic license. Everything was fine. Then I tried to, during the process, grow and shift into another medical practice, get another medical doctor. And they actually went to the guy's house and was trying to get him [00:21:00] to tell them all these bad things was happening. And I'm like, and he was like, what's going on?

I said, this is what's happening. He didn't believe them. But one of the orthopedics that I had left, he just. got up and left. He goes, I don't need this. And he walked out. So everything I tried to do, they were consistently causing me maybe many problems and many heartaches. And I was losing staff and losing money.

And, and it was, it was not a great situation. And they'd be this politician just trying to get. Notoriety and fame. There was no person. It was, it was back then it was showing that how we set it up. So back to the consultant and the lawyer that he had, how they set it up, even though it was legal, it didn't smell right.

So they went after us. They just did not, the medical facility, the medical. Board did not want chiropractors to have anything to do with medical doctors. Okay. [00:22:00] It was the consistency and thing in New Jersey. Jersey is one of the horrible states. But anyway, so during this whole process, I finally nixed the medical thing.

I just went into physical therapy and rehab, started getting that going and shifted everything and just. was tenacity of just, I'm going to win this. I'm going to keep on going. I'm not going to let this get to me. And they finally realized there was nothing they could go after. Everything I did was to the book.

So I didn't have to, you know, we had to make a deal and everything else after paying lawyer fees and things and everything else, it finally was over. But during that process, it laid me to a point of, I just. And in 2000, 2001, I had to close my practice. I actually closed my door and I couldn't practice anymore.

And I remember closing and locking my door and it was February. It was a cold day walking to my car and going, now what? All [00:23:00] these years, it was 15 years. It was like one of my daughters dying, right? It was just like, It was my baby. So it was kind of, now what? So I started to shift going, okay, what do I do?

And I, well, I know how to build a practice. So I started to consult with all the different Kairos to help, to help them and all this. And then went through some other different things. It's kind of like that whole time period kind of is like melded into Vagueness of PTSD and all this other stuff. And then throughout the whole process.

So I was I, I went through a very horrific divorce. One of my daughters almost committed suicide. They had said that if my ex didn't come home 10 minutes later, she would have died. Went through financial ruin, just trying to figure all this out, lost the practice. And finally after four and a half years, got myself start back practicing again, you know, through the work I was [00:24:00] able to discover.

Cause I was like, okay, I have this thing that I discover, maybe this is what I'm supposed to do, where I am now need to focus a hundred percent on this to see what this is all about. So over those, those years, I was still figuring out, I was able to back, get back practicing again. And You know, started to lead myself into going to different places and working at different areas of you know, five different places, five, five different locations I practiced trying to get things moving in order to get my life back together.

So it took a long time trying to get things together because life just kept on hitting me one thing right after another, right, right after another. And looking back on it, it was in order for me to discover new things. So. I had a great line where I learned, I said, you know, I wonder what gift I'm getting at this time.

And I would say sometimes a thousand times, I wonder what gift I'm getting, I wonder what gift I'm getting, I wonder what gift I'm getting. And it would then one [00:25:00] day reveal itself. And I was able to then move forward and grow and evolve through this whole process. Yeah, I think that's really important because what you said, it wasn't one bad day.

It wasn't just a few bad days. It wasn't even a few bad months. You had hardship after hardship. You know, personal, professional for about how long, how many years total? A couple of decades. A couple of decades. Yeah, it was probably started around late nineties. Yeah. So, yeah. So it was yeah, about 15 years.

It's just one thing after another. You know, it was, or even more, like I said, it gets so, you know, kind of into one thing that my mind actually shuts down when I think about it. Because it's just like, all right, there's no need to go there anymore. Let's just move forward and and go from there. So, yeah.

So, but it all enabled me to discover what I discovered and help so many people because there's Not too many things [00:26:00] people have gone through that I didn't go through, that I couldn't relate to, that I couldn't help them with, and give them and say, well, I went through this, this, and this. I fully understand where you're at.

I'm not only book smart, I, I've been there. And you know, a lot of people want to work with people who've been there because they understand it. They understand the emotions, what they went through, and the person can just look at them and go, okay, great. Do you still want to continue being in the victim mode?

Do you want to be a victor? This is how we help people to go from victim to victor. Are you ready to do this? And that's why we never allow anybody into our program unless they have three things. They're committed, they're coachable, and they're resourceful. If they don't have those, then there's really nothing we can do until they do that.

Not because we're trying to be mean, but we don't want to waste their time or their money or anything else like that. Yeah, no, that's, and that's great because you don't want to set somebody up for failure. I think people don't realize in business. There's just as many businesses that go out of [00:27:00] business for hyper growth as there are for people who don't have clients.

Yeah. So, it's, it's a real thing. Before we move on into what you learned from that and what was created out of it, not maybe looking at it, because I don't want you to get, you know, sad, depressed, distracted. Oh, I, no, I, I, I will not, I don't get depressed over it. I just neutralize it. No big deal. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But thinking about the past, when you're in that, you know, there's stories in the Bible where people aren't right with God, so consequences happen. There's other people who are totally right with God, and terrible things happen. Like Joseph, he didn't just have a bad month. It was years, like 30 plus years of just hardship after hardship, but all things work together for good to them that love God, and it always turns out.

And you said the very same thing. You don't want to go back and relive that maybe. But you learned so much from it. And what am I learning today? And who am I becoming? Right? Yeah, like Joseph could not be the emperor, [00:28:00] right? The story is, if he, he could never, the story, if I remember correctly, a long, long time is that he became a slave and then he became a master.

He was the, there's the secondhand guy to his master, right? Everything's going great. And then his wife tries to seduce him. And then he says, no, she gets mad. Now he's thrown into prison. Now he runs the prison. And then afterwards, so how could you run Egypt if you didn't know how to run a household or a major prison or a business?

So that all, when I heard that story years ago, I was like, this is just what happened to me. It was step. by step by step, especially when you, when you discover something no one else discovers, you have to go through a lot of stuff. I was just talking to somebody last week and I said, the people, in my opinion, you have go, go through the most pain as the most author in the world.

That's just my opinion. All right. I think [00:29:00] that's well supported with reality, fact, the Bible. I mean, you can't beat experience. You know, when you have someone who's got 18 PhDs, but they've never worked a real day in their life, and you have somebody else who's been working the same machine at Ford or, you know, a car dealership or a car manufacturer, I don't care how many engineering degrees you have.

You're not going to beat that guy who runs that machine. Right, exactly. It's not going to happen. So, all right. So now talking to the people though, we have people all over the world, different cultures, different paradigms, but for the people who have been like. Dr. Phil, I hear you, man. I've been in, I haven't done, you know, not that I'm perfect, but I haven't done anything and I've just had crap situation after crap situation after terrible tragedy.

What do I do? What advice do you have for them right now where they're at? They have to realize that life isn't happening to them. It happens from them, through them, and for them. In other words, everything outside of you is you. [00:30:00] The person you can't stand That's in your life. It's a part of you. You can't stand.

They're just showing up to show the part of you that you need to deal with. So all I tell people is this. Everything that happens to you is just an experience. It's not good. It's not bad. It just is. If you can get to the point of going, okay, whether or not you believe in God or the universe or your higher consciousness is going, okay, this has been brought to me.

This has been co created by me in the universe in order for it to benefit me, to be a detriment to me, or it just is. If you can look at everything that ever has happened to you as a benefit, There's nothing to be upset about. Okay. So obviously if it's in your life, you can handle it. You may not think so, but you have the tools within you to handle it.

Because at that moment. It's with [00:31:00] you. For instance, I remember a long time ago when I first really started doing this, I had a woman who was losing weight when I was I was a functional medicine practitioner and a chiropractor and I was helping people with autoimmune disease and thyroid. And so during that process, she was doing really well.

She was losing weight. She was feeling much better, but she said to me, you know, something came up and I've been trying to suppress this for the last couple of months. And I'm like, what's it? What is it? And she said that she had an abortion. And she was feeling really bad about it. She was from the Muslim faith and she was in her twenties and all this stuff.

And, and she had this little belly that she could not get rid of. It was like really hard for her to get rid of this belly, but this thing was coming up. And I, we, during the process, I explained to her that, you know, if. If it happened today, would you do that? And she said, no, I said, well, you did the best that you can at the moment.

You can, you, you were, you didn't know too much. [00:32:00] So we got to the point where she was able to let that go. Within about a month, her belly started to go flat because that's where, you know, of course the wound is. And I was blown away when that happened. And so was she to realize that's where a lot of her energy and stuff was because of the guilt.

But when she realized what she could do to benefit from that to help other people, I can't remember how she was doing it, but I think she was using it to help other women as well. I can't remember. But as she was using that as a benefit, not only for herself, but for others, her body shifted. So I always tell people when things happen, you can handle it, even though you don't think you can, but you can.

Look around the people around you. Obviously, there are people and things in you, around you, that will help you through that if you ask for help. And if you don't look at yourself as a victim, but how can I grow from this? So that would be my one, [00:33:00] my thought process for everybody. This is happening to me.

And a lot of times people go like, why me? And I go, why not you? You're not here. See, that's the other thing. If I, I'm kind of tangent here. If people think that they're here. For things to go right for them. And I'm like, you're not here for that. You're here for the adversity. You're here for the challenges.

That's how you evolve without any adversity you do. There's no need for you to be here. And when you can realize that this is this opportunity that you have called a problem, a challenge at adversity is an opportunity for you to evolve when you start looking at that. And you start focusing on that. I want a gift I'm getting, then you shift your energy into the solution and get away from it being a problem.

Yeah. And I think one of the things I want to discuss with you and our listeners. is suicide. Like you mentioned [00:34:00] one of your daughters, we didn't go into the details, but some people they're like, they're asking themselves your question. What can I learn from this? Right. How can I grow from this? And there's such in a dark or bad place.

They don't see any hope. They don't see a solution. And people get tricked by saying to make a long term decision and commit suicide for a short term problem. I just, just like two days ago, met a guy. We're playing cards, having a great time, and we walked out, continued the conversation, and he was telling me how just a year ago, he was about to commit suicide.

He came down to Pensacola to end his life. And then just circumstance after circumstance, person after person, God put in his life. And now he has a great life and he's thriving in every area. And we're sitting there laughing together for an hour. Right. So for the people who look at like, I don't see why this is happening.

I can't imagine any good coming from this. What advice, because there's somebody right now listening, I know somewhere in the world. [00:35:00] What advice do you have for that specific person to stop that bad path and, and to turn to hope? A lot of times, too, there's two things that's happening to the person. Number one, behavioral and chemical.

People don't realize the chemical end of it. The person might have a deficiency in dopamine or serotonin, so they can't, it's a, it's like they can't get out of it because... It's like, you're trying to read a book. I don't know if you have the problem because you're pretty much structured and everything else, but there are people where I may go, Hey, look, I need you to I want you to read this chapter.

And they're like, I don't want to read this chapter. That's behavioral. But there are some people that are like, I try to read this. It just wasn't, I couldn't get it. It just couldn't focus at that moment. That's chemical. I don't care what technique you're giving. It's chemical. You just can't absorb it. So a lot of times people have some type of nutrient [00:36:00] deficiency where they can go into a depressed state.

It's what they're eating, what they're drinking, causing an inflammatory reaction at that moment. So a lot of times is at that moment, that they're in that dark state. You just gotta reach out for help. It's not that you are weak. The strong person reaches out for help. The weak person doesn't. Right. It's easier just to lay there and do whatever compared to asking for help because in their mind, in my opinion, and I'm, you know, I'm not saying this is for everybody.

I'm not a psychiatrist or psychologist. I'm just saying is at that moment, it's easier to not, not ask for help than to do it because in their mind, asking for help is more painful than doing nothing. I hope that, I don't know if that. Inspired anybody, but that's just what came to me. I don't know if that's helpful.

That makes total [00:37:00] sense to someone who's been there. And then if you're listening and you're like, I've gone for help and I've tried and doctors are telling me nothing's wrong or counselors are telling me, you know, just take drugs, what Dr. Phil is saying is, you know, if you get advice from someone qualified and godly, that's the ticket, right?

But you know, there's, there's a lot of bad doctors out there and there's a bad, a lot of bad, a lot of it's traditional where they're just. This, this, you know, medication, I cannot tell you how many people who've had, I've worked with, with chronic illness, you know, like chronic fatigue and other things and where the traditional medicine was just like, You know, I don't believe you.

All the tests are normal. You're faking it. It's mental. Or basically that you know, take this medication compared to going to someone who's functional medicine, who will actually look at you in a functional way, find out what nutrients that you are deficient in that could be causing this.

Because at that moment, you're [00:38:00] not, there's nothing really wrong with you, you're just protecting yourself. Because there's only two things we do, we protect, we grow, we contract, we expand, we give and take, we're vibrational beings. So at that moment, you're just in a contraction, you're protecting yourself.

So the question would be, you want to write this down, in the audience is, why am I protecting myself? That's all you're doing. When you're in that situation, you want to protect yourself. And at that moment, suicide is the protection. It gets you out. Or taking a drug, or, you know, smoking crack again, or eating your favorite foods, even though you're going to be in pain, or other things, or, you know, if I go to a functional medicine doctor, my family think I'm nuts, or whatever the case may be, you know, those people.

You have to really start going in with yourself and finding out, at this moment, what do I need? And what do you need, not focusing on everybody else's needs? Yeah, and if you know, you have a PhD in your body that no doctor [00:39:00] or, you know, any practitioner of any sort has, so if you're going to the doctor just because they can't find it doesn't mean there's nothing wrong.

I mean, I can't tell you, I had a tumor in my head that they said for over eight years, nothing was wrong. It was a hypochondriac. And then I had an infection when my thirties, it was killing me. They told me to make up my will and get my affairs in order. It was poisoning my whole body. And I knew it started with a dentist.

Took four years to figure that one out. And then I just found out two years ago that I have a genetic thing where I have something with my blood, blood brain barrier. You probably know exactly what it is, Dr. Phil, but basically I've always had low level depression my whole life, but that was the cause.

And that's why like pain meds and drugs and even alcohol never got drunk in my life. Doesn't ever affect me. I could drink 10 shots in a row in like 10 minutes. Right. You know, a buzz. That's the chemical part that I'm telling you about. Yeah. So that's what I'm saying. So if you're having these issues, talk to Dr.

Phil and talk to good practitioners like him. Don't give up on [00:40:00] yourself. Don't fall into the lie of suicide. There's real reasons out there. You just kind of got to go. And find them. Yeah. And you want to look for docs whether nutritionists, whatever, that are focusing on functional medicine and they're, you know, they're, they're out there.

You got to look for them. I don't practice anymore. I don't do this anymore. I'm just more of a self sabotage specialist. I don't practice any longer, but It's focusing on more how, I mean, we have Google out there. You have all the information that you need. You know, well, how can I do it? Don't try to be your own doctor, but try to find docs or people in you that are doing natural therapies, that are getting away from just being on drugs and focusing on, instead of, instead of maintaining your disease.

You need to start helping your body to reverse it. We've reversed many diseases throughout my time. I remember one lady when [00:41:00] fibromyalgia started coming out. I don't know if you remember that. That was, you know, they were like, Oh, that's in your head. Yeah. To this day. To this day, people say it's in your head or we don't know what's going on.

Take drugs. You just got to learn to live with it. I mean, I don't really know of any doctors in the medical profession doing anything besides ignoring or medicating. That's medical function. We, I, I had very high success rates with fibromyalgia patients because not only did we help them. Because there's an inflammatory reaction going on in the body and also stress.

Stress will cause that inflammation in your body. You need to deal with both at the same time, right? So I remember her saying, I wish I had cancer because then I can show my family I'm not faking it. But as we started working with her, she started feeling much better and she was able to function much more effectively.

And I just basically said, don't worry about what they think. Get yourself better, focus on you, because a lot of times our own family or our loved ones project their fears [00:42:00] upon you. You're going to do what? You're going to go in your own business. Oh, I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't do that. Yeah, you wouldn't do that because you can't, you're not creative.

You want to take risks or, oh, you know when are you going to stop this nonsense and get a real job, right? I don't know if anybody out there has ever heard that one before. So you just got to stay. Never give a goal what you're looking for to somebody who will never unconditionally support you. Now, unconditional doesn't mean, yeah, go for it and, you know, you know, lose all your money.

It's called, okay, great, I support you, but do you have a mentor or what's your plan? Do you have it or are you just going and winging it and thinking you can deal with it? So there's that, that difference between, you know, supportive and you know, taking Too many risks, but you got to go with what you and God and what's inside you is saying and but finding people that will support you in that and don't feel that you're doing it [00:43:00] alone.

Yeah. Okay. So getting, getting back on to the story and kind of reguiding that was my, my derailing, but I think that helps. So thank you. Your practice is attacked. You finally prove, you know, it's not you, but then at the same time you're exhausted, you're like, I'm going a different direction with my business and I'm going to, I'm going to try something new.

Where does your life go from there, Dr. Phil? So during the process things just started coming to me at night, you know, during the day I would watch TV and something would spark and I would start writing and downstairs banging on my computer and, and just starting to develop this, this survival trait that we're born with and this whole blueprint that I was working on.

And so I, Became I, I started where I saw my practice and I started working for this one practice and got to a [00:44:00] point after a couple of years, it was time to leave them. And because of a a restricted covenant, I couldn't practice where I wanted to be. I had to go to other different places.

And finally, after about five years, I finally opened up my own practice again and started practicing there. And then I really started, the consulting started to really start to take off. People were really making major breakthroughs because I started working with chronically ill patients because I was chronically ill, and I was taking a lot of different Studies to become a functional medicine practitioner, but I was using my work along with what I was doing and I was doing really well.

And then all of a sudden my business owners who are my patients were making major breakthroughs in their business. And I never thought about using my discovery. So I started working with them. I started getting referrals all around the world. And then I decided to write [00:45:00] my book, wrote that, and then things started going.

I created a online course and I started creating one on one coaching and to a point where then I finally, after a while went, okay, about two, three years ago, it's time to close my practice and do this full time. So I didn't just fully just go into coaching and stop my practice. I slowly. Stopped seeing new patients and started to letting go of other of my patients until I was able to fully support myself as in being a self sabotage specialist and a business consultant and haven't practiced since.

Beautiful. So now that's where you are today. And then we're going to transition to where you headed next at the end of the episode. But talking about what you do, there's such a, I mean, I don't have true numbers or statistics. You might, but there's [00:46:00] such a high percentage of even achieving individuals in the world.

Nextantly, bring us some previous talk existing questions people are asking us from online users on Twitter Yes, that means you might be dating or relation to someone you see for the first time. Weird placement story there. So what, one of the things that really shifted me is I remember I was I woke up middle of the night.

It was pitch dark. It was like someone give infused like five Red Bulls in me, you know, it was like, you know, and I was like, you know, I can, I can clean my house not once, but twice in an [00:47:00] hour. Right. So I was like, all right, I'm up. So I go in and I sit down at my desk and I open up my draw. And I find my old goals from five years prior.

I was a little excited. I was like, yeah, all right. I'm going to see what I did. And I went through each and every one of them. And at the end, I didn't accomplish one damn thing. I was like, what the, what is this? I was like, are you kidding me? I said, what's wrong with me? And when you're sitting in the dark and silence for a, for a while, it's just something inside just kind of said to me, he said.

They're not, they're not telling, they're not God, what did I say? It basically said you were. You're not being taught something. That was it. You're not being taught something. And from there on, I started to follow this whole path of trying to understand where my soul was shifting me, right? Kind of shifted into this.

And during that whole [00:48:00] process, I was able to discover a survival trait that we're born with, and we call it the inborn sabotage trait. It doesn't undermine us, but it actually protects us from the very success that we seek, because that success subconsciously is more painful as how, what we need to do to get there.

And as we get there to sustain it, so our subconscious mind is saying, this is too painful. So we then go into our ineffective behavior. So we never get to that. So when I first found that, I was like, this is too simple. There's no way. So I went out to try to disprove it. And over 30 years researching thousands upon thousands of people, not only was I able to prove it, I found a way to switch it off instantly and it works a hundred percent of the time.

Now, I'm from New Jersey. You tell me this works 100 percent of the time, I'm gonna say BS. Okay. So I knew that, and my reputation being very important, so I went out to try to disprove that. And to this day, no one's ever [00:49:00] disproved that when you use your antidote, It is impossible to sabotage your business or your personal life.

So we were able, I was able to use this to help so many business owners, executives and entrepreneurs and salespeople to really help them to understand that there's nothing wrong with them. They're not being successful, not because they're an idiot or all the other hundred words they say to themselves.

They're just... in protection. That's it. It is that simple. So it's okay to be in protection. That's cool, right? You have to have protection. So I always say to people like, I don't care, you go into the corner, lay down in a fetal position, suck your thumb with your pillow. I'm good with that. But the question is, is because that's all you are doing, you're, you're protecting yourself.

But at that moment, you're just protecting yourself. That's it. So the question is, it's not that you're doing it. The question is, how [00:50:00] long are you going to do it? Right? So if you're there for an hour or so, get up and you start and continue fine. But if you're there for a week, two weeks, you got a problem.

So in the moment is, When you're using your saboteur, when you're in protection, how long are you there for? Are you not getting things done? Are you scattered all over the place and you just can't focus and you do something else? Or are you constantly overly giving to other people and you're being taken advantage of because you have a hard time saying no?

Or you can't express your brilliance because you don't want to feel stupid or embarrassed so you keep it to yourself and so many other things. At that moment, you're just protecting yourself. But as soon as you understand that one trait, so when you start to release your personal professional power and you hit that wall, and then all of a sudden your saboteur will kick in to protect you.

So, imagine hitting that wall, and as you start to slowly contract, knowing the one trait that is doing that, and then [00:51:00] using the antidote, the exact opposite, immediately, you now go into growth like this, compared to the hamster wheel over and over again. So, we have group coaching courses that help those people, to help them to understand where they're going, and how to move past that.

We guarantee our results. And we have 100 percent money back guarantee on that as well. And what kind of results have you seen over the years? Like how many clients have run through the program? We've had hundreds of people go through the program. We've had startups helping them to understand why they weren't getting passed, where they're going, or we've had multimillionaires understand why they couldn't get to the next level.

We've had veterans with PDSD understand how to use their antidote to decrease their episode of any outrage. We actually have a. Client right now in our program that within the first week, he had two [00:52:00] opportunities to just go ballistic and by using just what we were using, he was able to neutralize them pretty quickly.

And he's been in bed a month and he's seen tremendous changes of how he's working better relations with his with his his wife, his child, and even in his business. We've saved marriages with this because. What happens is when the people are at each other, they're not hating each other, just protecting themselves from each other.

Imagine knowing the sequence of your child. If you have three children, imagine, because a lot of times you have three children or two children, you're treating them as the same, but imagine knowing their sequence and know exactly how to help them. On a subconscious level, by using their words, we see shifts.

You, if you're a manager and you're trying to help get low low performing employees to higher performers, imagine knowing exactly what they need. And we've seen shifts [00:53:00] like that. We've had businesses imploding and then. Business partners understanding how they were self sabotaging themselves in the business and then shifting and neutralizing conflict within them so they can now stop that implosion and start the expansion and going into success again.

So, it, it handles every aspect of any party's personal or professional power because your personal and your professional power are one. So when you use your saboteur, both are affected. But when you use your antidote, both are affected at the exact same time. And from what I understand, this is far different than just a personality test.

Yeah, this is different than DISC and Myers Briggs and everything else, because you gotta, you have to take theirs every two years, every, you know, twice a year or whatever, because it shifts. This never shifts. You are born with this sequence, and we're the only ones that actually give a solution. So, when [00:54:00] you understand this is what I do, okay, what do I do now?

You just do this one thing. So the analogy I give is this, you ever see the master domino masters. They push the one domino and goes, right? Then last one, it's always right. And let's say balloons are released. But what's the last thing you see? The balloons? Mm-Hmm. . So what do we do? We take our Coke methods and do what?

We put 'em on the balloons, not the one domino. Right? Is it easy to hold down all the balloons and stop pushing the domino? That domino is your saboteur that creates every negative emotion that you experience. This one thing creates every negative emotion. We prove that to you. And then when you push this, you go down the road of frustration.

But when you use the antidote, the exact opposite, you go down the road of motivation and inspiration and growth instantaneously, 100 percent of the time, guaranteed, never fails. And I know it sounds too good to be true because I remember a marketer one time said, you [00:55:00] know, you should say like 95%, 97%. It's more believable.

And I said, why do I want to lie to these people? This is what it works. It works a hundred percent of the time. I fired him or let him go, but I'm like, I'm not lying. And skeptics are my best clients. Cause they don't, they, they, they, they don't expect anything. And when they do it, then they get these results.

So they say, Oh my goodness, it's amazing. And we've had people 10 X to 350 times X their business because now they understand the one thing that they do that helps, that doesn't allow them to expand and evolve in their business or their personal lives. Yeah, that's beautiful. Yeah. And I always notice like, I don't care if it's.

I don't want to pick on any kind of personality test, but they're all the same thing wrapped in a different paper, or they go from four to a subdivision of 16, you know, they're like, there's value in these tests, but they're more for fun and kind of [00:56:00] getting to know yourself and knowing others, but I never experienced or witnessed anybody experience a life changing event from taking a personality test.

So everybody makes a major breakthrough the first or second week when they go through our program, because there's really six. There's really six sequences of human behavior, so there's really only six people in the world. So, once I know your sequence, I can tell you everything about you and never meet you.

I can ask, if you had a significant other, I can ask you everything about them, and tell you everything about them and never meet them. And then I'll tell you how you two interact. I never ask you a question because we have it down to a science of how each sequence works with each other. So many times when we're in our group coaching, people go, you know, I'm having difficulty with this client or my, my significant other or my ex or whatever.

And we go, I go, okay. We figure out their sequence, and then I tell them exactly what to do based on their antidote and their sequence to the other person's, and they come back going, it worked like a [00:57:00] charm. And I've never met the person. As long as I know their sequence, I can tell people exactly what to do to neutralize conflict.

You know, use a promo code. We'll put in the show notes. They can check out a free class. I think it's only like 12 minutes. Then you have an hour video that explains the program in more detail. And then they can have a personal coaching session with you all for free just by using that promo code. So that's, we'll put that in the show notes.

Talk about the end of the episode. Yeah. For you, and you know there's six types, and this is all easy peasy for you, other people are sitting here like, yeah, it's gonna work for everybody, but it won't work for me. You know, like, it's just gonna, I'm gonna throw money at the wall. It's another person making me promises.

You offer a two week money back guarantee, right? Yeah, and we tell them after the second week, if you feel this is not right for you, you get 100 percent of your money back. But no one ever asks for the money back, because it always works. People see major shifts, and [00:58:00] like I said, I've been taken too many times.

I've had courses that promised me this and this and that and never actually never had a guarantee. So I've lost a lot of money with a lot of different courses. So I wanted to put in to make sure that. And that's why it took me a while to actually create a group coaching course. Because in my one on ones, I did guarantee my results and I was doing well with it.

And I wanted to do a group coach and I was like, I need to have that result. And then after creating this, and then seeing the results and people getting the results that I'm looking for. So not everybody becomes a candidate for our program. So we go through process to make sure that they are a good candidate.

If they're not, then we'll, you know suggest maybe another course or my book or something else that they can start out with. But if they are a candidate, then we know that they're going to be successful. Because we've already [00:59:00] can guarantee them certain things that we're asking them to go this, this, and this, we can guarantee that you'll see why this happens, how to shift it and move forward.

So that's what we do in our, on our calls. Awesome. And then if we were to give the audience like something they can do right now at home, kind of like a exercise, something for them to help start the process, a catalyst, is there anything, I know I'm catching you off guard with this, but is there anything that you'd recommend that people listening at home, maybe they're afraid to reach out, even check out the link on the website, right?

What can they do to kind of start thinking in the right direction to seeing that this really is a very simple process, but it's made to look impossible? I always say that. When you're ready, information comes to you to take advantage of two things. Number one, is this, are you on this podcast or I'm on, actually I'm on this podcast, right?[01:00:00] 

I'm on this podcast and they're listening in. So the question is, is this is an opportunity for me to shift into the new me, or I'm not listening and I'm going into the old me and it's, and I have to realize, you know, why, why am I doing this? And what happens is. People, when I talk with people and they are just like, it sounds, but, and they start having all this other resistance, I tell them, you know, that's your saboteur stopping you.

The saboteur is actually right now stopping you because you're protecting yourself from me at this moment. And they're like, really? I said, yeah, that one thing that you just went over, all this stuff that's been happening to you, you can't get this. And I'm guaranteeing you that you'll understand how to do this or your money back, that you have nothing to lose, right?

Except for a couple of weeks. And they're still hesitant. I said, that's your saboteur. It's still [01:01:00] deeper. This is stopping opportunities in your life. And people will sit there and go, yeah, I have, or you're doing this because you're focusing on other people. And what can I use that money to help others or whatever the case may be.

But at that moment, they are protecting themselves. So when you are hesitant with something, the question is, is write this sentence down. Why am I protecting myself? Well, this guy sounds like the other guy that I took. And, you know, he That they took all my money. So the question is, is, okay, I sound like the person is not, am I am that person?

And then, and, and what are the differences? How can you see the difference between, and it's just not about me. It's about anybody else that you take. Other business owners have taken courses that they've gotten screwed over, right? Or what are you making sure that they are hitting everything that you want?

So I don't know if I'm. Making sense or not but I'm just trying to help them to understand [01:02:00] that when you don't do anything, you're in protection. Imagine knowing that one thing for the rest of your life so you know you can make a a good decision. And not a decision based on fear, right? So, if anything, the thing that you can start immediately is ask, why am I protecting myself from this person, taking this course, buying this car Working out, whatever the thing, taking an app and how to start working out.

Why am I protecting myself that I don't want to do this? What is the worst that could happen? When you ask, what is the worst that could happen? And a lot of times people say nothing. And I go, no, no, there would be, because if there's nothing worse that can happen, you would be saying yes to this. Is what's the worst that can happen?

And the question is, is it possible or is on probability? For instance, A lot of people go on possibility. This can happen. Yes. [01:03:00] Is it possible? Absolutely. But what's the probability of it happening? And when they ask the question of what's the probability, and if it's like, well, 10%, so let's focus on the 90 percent of it not happening.

100 percent of possible that it can happen, but it can only be probable of 10%. So I'm going to take the 90 to 10 risk. And it's a calculator risk that, that answer your question, or for some reason, I'm telling myself, I'm no, no, no, no, you're doing excellent. This is great information. I was just saying like our show is really like kind of practical steps of like, what can they do at home to start the process, but I know.

You go into your website and the link that starts the process. But for the people who have just been burned so many times and they don't believe and they don't fully understand, even like we talked about protection, right? You and I have had conversations and I've [01:04:00] heard you on another podcast. So let's dig into protection.

What you're basically talking about is this. Someone has success and they don't even realize, but they throttle. They stop their progress. They stop their success because somehow in their brain or their mind, success equals pain and they don't even realize it. So they're protecting themselves. But they're really hurting themselves.

So who are some of the people, like the more common symptoms? Like you mentioned, not going to the gym, something might actually want to go to the gym. Let me, let me go down a little deeper. Now that you're, you're, it's sparking a little thought process. There are three basic reasons why we sabotage ourselves.

Okay. This is what I was able to come up with. The first one is that you had success. And then you lost it. So that if you ever get to that success again and lose it, it's more painful. So you never get to that point. So number one, ask [01:05:00] yourself, what success did I have in the past that if I act that, that I lost.

So even in a heartbreak, you know, you, you marry somebody, whatever, and the person broke your heart. So you never find that other person again, because you never want your heart broken again. Right? So, same thing with business, same thing with your personal life. So, the question is, is... You know, we had, I had a guy one time, he had told me that he was he had this 10 million idea that he, that he shelved.

And I said to him, I said, when did you lose your first million? He goes, how'd you know that? So if I had a 10 million idea, I wouldn't be shelving it. He goes, well, yeah, I, I lost and I was on the couch of a friend of mine for a year and I finally got myself back going and I finally made my, my And I said, okay when did you lose your second million?

He goes, how'd you know that? I said, the [01:06:00] same reason. So he said that he made an investment. And it caused another problem. I said, can you see that if you ever reached your 10 million thought process, you would have 10 times more of the pain because if you ever lost it, it would be more painful. And he just stopped.

He was like, what? I never thought of it that way. And then during the process, he was realized, able to start focusing on his 10 million idea again, because he never realized what stopped him was the pain previously. And when he understood his sequence and he understood his saboteur, he realized this one thing has been stopping me for all my life to having the impact that I can make on the world.

The second thing is I got to do what's necessary to get to that success. I got to listen to this podcast and listen to other people to get different ideas. I got to go back to school. I might have to take this guy's course. I have to read a book. You know what? There's a great new episode on Netflix.

I'm going [01:07:00] to binge watch that and afterwards I promise I'll start this, which is never going to happen. So the actual process of getting successful is painful, so they never start or they stop during the process. The third one is More pain, more success equals more pain. More success equals more pain.

So a lot of times business owners will go, you know, all I need to do is figure this out and I just want to market. I just need more people. And I go, no, you don't. I said, that's the last thing you need because you don't have enough structure. You don't have enough automation. You don't have enough stuff in there to support new things.

Because if you ever doubled your business, You'd have double to quadruple more pain. You'll never see your family. So again, that doubling or increasing your success will cause you to not do that and sabotage yourself. So those are the three reasons, the basic reasons why we [01:08:00] self sabotage. Yeah, and I think a lot of people listening are going to be like, oh, like, whoa, light bulb.

I think you just connected some dots with our listeners. I know you do with me. So let's do this. Between your birth and today, Dr. Phil, is there anything we missed in your life story before we transition to where Dr. Phil is today and where are you heading so we can help you get to your next goal? No.

No, that's pretty much in a nutshell, for 62 years, what I went through, so. Yeah, no, I understand. We could be here for days and not get through a lifetime of a human, but I just meant like anything significant. No, no, I know. That's, that's was, yeah, enough that I was able to, those are the majority of things that my accomplishments and the the events that caused me to have even more accomplishments, which were my adversities.

Thank you. Beautiful. And we kind of talked about this. Talk about where are [01:09:00] you at today? Where are you heading? How can a listener get ahold of you and reach out and continue the conversation? Yeah. So we can our focus is now we shifted into this great new group coaching course that we have where there's one on ones with me and they have three days a week, they can come on to coach.

Go group coaching and they have family, they have this family community. It's working so, so well. And our next focus is to scale that into to helping more and more people than we have. And then from there we are. focusing where the army at this moment is talking to us to taking some of my work to help veterans and as well.

So we're shifting into our courses to help PDSD and veterans so they can understand where they're going. And then we have all the different courses, our [01:10:00] next levels. to help people in their businesses as well. So the next goal is to do that, but then also, so also offering people that are not business owners, executives, entrepreneurs, and salespeople through my book, they can get that looking at to writing another book.

As well, and maybe some other, we have another online course called Rise Above Adversity that gives techniques and other things to help people to rise above adversity. But when we talk to people, we always give them what we think they, they need at that moment. So, that's where we're going. Our goal is to help millions of people and that's our focus.

So it's been 2, 3 years. Full force on this. And so far helping the thousands of people we have I feel really good about it and can't wait to put a few more zeros of helping people. Yeah. And that's exciting to hear that the military may, you [01:11:00] know, hire you to put together a curriculum and work with their men and women.

Cause that is phenomenal. Cause yeah. We have these patriots who need help, and it would be great to give them real help that's a solution, digging to the core and correcting it, instead of just medicating them with drugs that only cause more issues. So I'll be praying that that comes through for you guys.

Oh, thank you. Yeah, ladies and gentlemen, we'll put a link in the show notes, whether you're on Apple, Spotify, the website, whether you're on Rumble or YouTube, check out the show notes. We'll put a link to Dr. Phil's website. We'll put a link to his program and the free offer. We'll put a link to the book.

And then if you have any questions, you'll be able to go through his website, I take it. Is that the best way to reach you, Dr. Phil? Yeah, the website well this is not the, the website, the website, you, you'll put that in the notes, it's transcendnow. biz they can look at that, they can also access the masterclass within that, they can [01:12:00] access the book, so the website would be for them, but if they want to go right to the 12 minute video, then this, the link that you will share with them, that will go directly to the 12 minute video.

Beautiful. Now, before we go, is there anything else you want to cover or a final closing thought you want to leave with our audience? If you're in, in a really a bind or you're really feeling down, two words that I tell people to do three times in a row, it's say, it's okay. It's okay. It's okay. If you can say it's okay, that at this moment that I have an opportunity.

To move past this, to take this as, as so many people have. That's why I used, I love. watching real movies, real events, because you can see [01:13:00] where people have gotten to at a low point and they were able to shift. It's inspiring. So I would start watching inspirational real, real live events or like movies and all or getting on to podcasts like this one and, and other things and YouTube to listen to other people to inspire you every day to start.

Focusing your thoughts and your feelings into hoping that this is possible because I have full control over me. No one else has. And if you've given control over anybody else, it's time to take it back and feel confident and secure that you have everything within you. Right? Everything's in you. You, there is no such thing as lack.

If you have lack of money right now, it is just vibrating. It's just reinforcing your vibration. You need to, as you start shifting, it's going to take time to grow. If you have a plant and it has a tree and it has buds, would you chop it down? [01:14:00] No. You would wait until the apples are formed. Even though you're starving, you wouldn't chop that tree down.

There are things in your life that have buds that are in spring. It just hasn't come to fruition yet. And sometimes you got to make sure it might. Giving enough water? Am I fertilizing enough? Am I waiting until there's a good enough sun until it finally is time for it to be, create a fruition? Sometimes you're so close to success that you may just give up, but don't.

Just keep on following, don't let anybody get you off your path because that's what you need to do. And you are where you are because that's where you need to be to get the benefit out of that experience so that you can move forward to not only help yourself, but others.
