Melissa okay. Thank you. You can see the screen. I just thought I'd talk to you a little bit about something. I was thinking about this this morning when I emailed you. It has nothing to do with specifically charts or anything with the strategy. Can you see the screen? I can thank you, yes. One of the things I think I thought was thinking about this morning is that you are thinking about money so much. You did this before, but even more so now where it's like almost controlling you. That happens to people when they get in situations in their life where they're feeling frustrated or they're feeling like they don't have enough money. Everybody feels like that when they're in those positions in their life. I just thought about it this morning. I thought you just have to put it into perspective because your happiness and you're pursuing your own dreams, whatever they are, if it's to be a professional trader, whatever, whatever, whatever reasons you're doing this for, to work for yourself, whatever, you can't let the money control you because it's only money. I mean, it really is only money. Money comes and money goes and I think you're so focused on each individual trade specifically whenever you're in something that it's like a do or die situation and whether you win or lose in any trade that you take, it's just money. Now, while the goal is to make money when you're trading, that's true and you need to be focused on it, it's almost like become this thing that is controlling you in a negative way, which of course anytime you have something that's controlling you, there's nothing positive about it. Money shouldn't be controlling you and it's like controlling you now. Although I do think you're not following my strategy alone. You're trying to incorporate with other things and that's a separate issue and a separate problem and something that you're just going to have to decide what you're going to do about it. Either you're going to just follow me and not do the other things that are in your head that you learned in the past or that you're looking at or you're going to, but money is still a situation I think for you where you can't allow the money to control you and you can't prevent a lack of money from allowing you to pursue your dream. If this really is your dream, again, I don't know if it is, but I'm just saying that and that's what I wanted to tell you and that's what I was thinking about this morning. Right. Yes. Thank you. Yeah. It is, it is what I want to do and what I want to trade is it. Yes, that is what I want to be in life to trade, trade profitably. Right. But you can't let the money control you. Do you know what I'm saying? Like the trade that you didn't take and then you took and then you made money and which I was glad. I was glad. I'm never going to yell at you for making money, but I mean you definitely would have been up more Friday and you definitely, you know, I could have made more and then it was like the money controlled you that you had on in the risk because you were worried about it. You were worried about it and it controlled you know what I'm saying and like. Yes. I know what you mean because obviously I see that.  There's always a chance that something cannot work out no matter what you do with money, whether it's buying real estate, whether it's, you know, paying for a trading class, whether it's taking an actual trade, whether it's, you know, investing in a business.  I mean there's always a risk involved when you're doing something with money if you want to get ahead and not everything will work out. I mean sometimes things don't work out just like some trades don't work out. I mean you're not going to take, you're not going to go after something a hundred times and have a hundred wins. You know what I mean? Well yes it's to do with the risk that you actually put on the table, isn't it?  Right and that's what I'm saying. I mean people take risk in real estate, sometimes people take too much risk and it does pay off but it was warranted, it was a good risk. You weigh the pros and the cons, you know what I'm saying? And if it helps you to write it down, you re-write it down, you weigh the pros and the cons. The problem with you is when you're looking now at a trade at a gap at a chart, you're not just focusing on the gap, it's almost like to you nothing looks good enough or things that look great to you really aren't because you're not looking at the right stuff, whereas in the past you really did do a better job at assessing what was a higher risk trade meaning or a better risk, a better risk for your money, a higher odds is what I mean, that it would pay off to take the risk. And you keep talking about Babas, I'll just say, that was something that you could see that but now it's like when I'm calling these trades in the market, you can't see and I've called some great trades in the market, and you've been benefited from them, you've been benefited from them and so you can't, you're not seeing what you used to see because you're looking at other things. You have, but the thing that I found is the timescale, which to me it appears that the timescale has changed, you are looking more at them as being- That's true for some trades, but it hasn't been for the market, but it hasn't been for the market trades. That might be for Cisco, like I expected Cisco to go, it didn't. So Cisco's longer now, but not with the market ones, not with the market ones now. Yes, I agree some of the market ones are longer, but it's judging, it's judging how much you want to, I mean obviously now I'm set with the amount I'm risking and it's much lower than I was previously putting on, but those trades they were, they were larger because they were much more, from what I could see, more focused in where they were going too. What do you mean I'm focused on the trades I'm calling in the market, I'm having a tremendous amount of conviction or I wouldn't be calling them, and I'm turning out to be right, above and beyond what many people are saying, I mean it's almost like, I'm like, I mean I went back and looked today because my assistant did a clip for a sizzler reel for my TV clips, he clicked, two TV clips I did where I said what was going to happen in the market from New Year's Eve on, it was like, I was like, I listened to myself, I said, oh my lanta. I mean I actually predicted exactly what the market would do, and for you not to have taken any of those trades or held any of those trades, Phil, it's like missed opportunity because I don't know what we're going to get another great trade again.  It's like, I mean it's Yes, yes, I mean the one I have now, the size is very small, it's not in comparison with what the other trade was, which obviously could have produced far more than this one will, but at the same time, yes it's profit. But anyways, getting back to what I was saying about the money thing is you're letting the money control you so much now that it's, you kind of just have to say like, I'm not going to let money control my happiness, because if you do that, then you're stuck and you're stuck, you're stuck and then all of a sudden nothing works and you're miserable, and that's kind of like where you are, I think a little bit, it's kind of like where nothing is good enough, nothing is makes you happy, no good trade is good enough, nothing is big enough, nothing is, you know, you're like, no, I wouldn't say no good trade is good enough, no definitely not, it's very nice when you have a good trade and you get a winning trade, yes I agree, but you have to be realistic with what you have in front of you, I know, but you could have been more realistic in the past than you weren't and so now you've gone the other way completely, it's like you've gone from right to left or left to right, it's like you had these huge expectations and now you're like, okay now I'm in reality, it's like somewhere in the middle is basically where I put this picture where you see like, okay this is where my dreams are created because again, not everything is going to be easy, not everything is going to be huge, but not everything is in the toilet, you know what I'm saying, so it's like somewhere in the middle is where your dreams are and that's where you have to create them because if you're thinking unrealistically that everything's going to be huge and some dream targeting, you're going to make tons of money and blah blah blah, that's not realistic, but if you're thinking so negative that, well it's not even worth trading anymore because I take that much size of day trade, well I can't even do this, I can only take it, well I shouldn't even hold it, it's like you're, you know, I mean it's like you're like, you know, you've gone the other way, you've gone like completely tilted, where you're like I said, where you're killing trades at break even that are perfectly fine and that you could have got out of with more money the day before or held and made more, so it's like you've gone the other way, that's what I'm saying, you've gone the other ways, you need to find your way back to the median, to the middle, which is where you're going to be able to manifest your dreams because you're not going to be able to manifest them where you are right now in this negative place and you're not going to be able to going back to where you were where everything was la la land because that's not realistic either, it's like me thinking four years ago that I was going to have a TV show in 2015, I did believe that, I believed it, I met people, they told me that, they took money, they didn't do anything, I mean they cheated me, I mean I could go on and on about stories that I had, but at the point, but that doesn't mean that I can't still make my dreams happen, so you go from one point to the other, I know I've been there in things with my life, I'm speaking from experience, I'm speaking from experience, you have to find your way back to your dreams if this is your dream, so that you can be at a place where you think positively and you can believe that the dream can happen, the dream is not that every trade is going to be huge like Baba, but some will and if you don't put you're in a position to look at things right you're going to miss those trades. Yes, but isn't that, but this is all related back to the one thing that we can control and that is risk, how much we risk on a particular trade. You can control it, you can control how much you risk, you can control it, what are you talking about, you're the one that's taking the trade, nobody's taking the trade for you, you're taking it, you can control it. Yes, yes I am, I am, obviously when I was, when I was really doing very well, I was putting a lot more on the table. Now, that's what I'm saying, we're the other end of the spectrum, that's what I'm trying to explain to you. Because I've had a few that haven't worked for me, as luck would have it, I happen to have picked the ones that haven't worked. But that's what I'm saying, you on a practical level, you're not following my system strictly, you're doing other things and incorporating it, which I said that is a problem for you and you need to stop doing it and you're saying well I can't, I can't delete these things from my head, but I'm telling you, you need to. But either way, we're still at the other end of the spectrum speaking about money terms wanting more risk to reward in those trades than they were willing to give.  Now I don't think you do that now, but you did before. So money wise. The numbers were different like well back. But it doesn't matter, that's just, you're just proving my point, the numbers were different where you're risking more, where if you risked four and you made two, you would be thrilled to have $2,000 in a profit in a trade right now.  You see what I'm saying? It's like, I, so I'm saying you've gone from one end of the spectrum to the other. You've gone from far right to far left and you have to find a way back in the center where is a balanced way where you follow the system strictly and use whatever money guidelines you have to for your risk at this point, but still having an attitude where you can create the dreams that you want, that you can go back to a place where you're risking more, but you have to stay in the center when you're evaluating things, when you're looking at things, not being totally negative and also not feeling like everything is going to go to a dream target, not killing trades break even and not holding everything to the end of the world goes to some crazy number. There's got to be, it's called balance and it's about the control where I was saying at the beginning where you can't allow money to control you because, because you shouldn't.  It's not the end of the world.    You can't, you can't move a stock. That's true. That's true. But you can just, you can control the way that you're looking at things in your evaluation of the gap and you can control your attitude about the trade per se as far as what's happening, thinking positively or not in choices. So it's like you can, you can control what's going on in your life feeling good about something or feeling bad about something. And I'd be lying if I said sometimes it's like where you feel bad about something and you ruin a trade because you felt bad about trades that were good trades. I called that you ruined and the last two weeks you did that. If you felt better about those trades that you killed, you would have, you would have been in them and you would have made money in them in the market. You didn't feel good about the trades and even before the ones some that you didn't even take, you know, you didn't feel good about it.  That's what I'm saying.  The money's controlling you. The money has, has, it's controlling you. Well, it is in the respect that you would like a certain figure out of a trade, wouldn't you? That's, that's, that is control. No, but I mean, it's controlling you like where you're making poor choices is what I'm saying. Not taking certain trades, taking certain trades and then killing them. That's the kind of thing I mean. Yes, yes, there were, there were a number of trades where I did believe that they were, they had the potential to fail. Hence, I didn't take them. If you hadn't taken out $300 off that market trade, the day that we gap down, whatever day that was, I don't know, Thursday, I just don't even remember anymore. You wouldn't, you wouldn't, I don't know what you would have been up or down, but I guarantee you would have got out. You would have got out with the partial loss, even if it was down. Again, I'd have to go back and look at the price and you would have got out. I know that you would have, you would have, because you would have been worried about what you had on in risk, because you had $1,500 on a risk. I was, I was expecting the market to do what it did. Why? Why were you expecting it?  You are expecting things that have nothing to do with anything at all. No, I don't think that's quite right, but I didn't look at the chart, I think this has the potential to come back. So do you think that you can predict where somebody's going to go better than me? No, I don't. I think you do. Obviously, obviously not. No, I don't. The markets continued on. So I was right. So I was right, correct? So if I'm right, you're right. So if I'm right, then why not take my trades? Why even concern yourself with what you think is a pullback? Why even concern yourself? If you know Melissa is going to be right more than she's not, I'm just going to take the trade, watch where it goes, close my eyes and get out when I'm up. I mean, that's literally where you have to be because you're overthinking it and you're thinking that you can figure out something better than I can. You can't. No, no, no, not at all. Yes, you are. I don't. You're like, I was expecting it to do that. So then what? So then you did do the trade or you killed it. For one day. But who cares? Nobody cares. No one cares at all. I left the trade on instead of taking $300. Yes, I would have been up a lot by Friday's close. And what would have been wrong with that? If you just closed your eyes and say, I know Melissa said it's going to go here. And then it does whether it takes 24 to 48 hours or 36 hours. Who cares? Nothing in this case because it did it. And obviously now it's hurry hindsight. We are looking. No, but this is I mean, I could give 100 examples. I could give 100 examples because you are so obsessed where the money is controlling you. You're worried. I'm going to be down. It's going to pull back. I'm going to be down. That's what you're thinking in your mind. And that's where the money going back to the beginning here. I don't want to try to get talk about charts tonight. I'm saying where the money is controlling you. The money is controlling you. Yes, you are. We are right. The money is the money now is controlling me because I don't want to be without it. It's a simple. But I'm telling you. No, I'm telling you that let it go. I'm telling you, let it go.  And even if you even if the tree doesn't work and you lose the money, but that that's what you have to do to start living. No, you go get it. You go get a job then.  That's a problem. Life doesn't support that.  And until you start to think like, you know what?  I'm going to pursue my dream to do this, whatever it takes. If it means that I'm going to have to go out and get another job while I'm doing this. So be it. I have to do whatever it takes. I'm going to not be afraid to take the trades or take a class or do whatever I'm going to do it. I'm going to follow what she says.  Instead of having this money thing, control me. Do you see what I'm saying? So when you start to have that attitude, I am in control. I am in control. Hence I am controlling the risk which is laid on the trade. You are squeezing the life out of it.  Am I? Yes. Yes. The average I it's like I can't predict the room predicted it. I didn't even predict it. I said, what do you think Philip did with this trade? Killed it. They all said it and they were right. They were absolutely they were right.  I mean this was before we talked in the thing in the room. They said, oh I got out of it. I'm sure you got out of it and everyone would have guessed that you got out of it Thursday if you hadn't gotten out of it Wednesday. But the point was that it's like You left the question very ambiguous, didn't you? It was it was a case of what you've got to do with it and I asked you for advice on that trade. Whether I should hold it. But I gave you advice a couple of days ago. Follow your trading plan. Get out if you're out between 60% and 100%. It wasn't even at 50%. If you had made $750 it would have been more than twice so it doesn't even matter. I don't want to talk about the specific trade. I'm just using an example where the money is choking you. I don't even want to talk specifically. I just am saying in general I've noticed and you have to think about what I'm saying tonight because I'm giving you good advice. When you allow money to control you and things that you want to do with your life, whether it's trading or something else, you're not going to be happy. It is a disaster road.  I'm telling you right now when you give away your own power as a man to this thing called money, it's going to manifest itself into negative occurrences that will just continue to spiral in the downhill road. You're not on a path that's going to get where you want to be. So you got to find your way to balance into the center because when you let money control you, you're never going to be able to achieve your dreams. And eventually you say that you're happy now. Eventually it will make you angry.  It will make you depressed. It will make you miserable. That will create other problems and because people look to other things and when they're unhappy that they look to then to make them feel happy that create another problem in their life whether they're health things or bad relationships.  Worst thing that can happen is you lose the money of risk in the trade and worst thing that can happen is you have to go out and get another job. If that's a worst thing can happen it's better than having this money thing control you where you're killing trades when you're up a little or when you're breaking even.  If you want to grow your account you have to do something about it. I was trying to help you do that with your trade because I knew that was a good trade but you you got out of it. I want you to think for yourself a little bit about it. You know you know me well enough that I would sit and I would hold any trade and I would let them run but that particular trade I didn't know whether to jump ship or not because of the answer that you know because you're you don't read in a chart right anymore you're worried about it. But I asked you the question following your training plan that's going to be my answer every time between 60 percent and 100 percent between 60 percent and 100 percent between 60 percent and 100 percent I think is a good place to get out. I don't know what the exact high the day was on Friday. I think it could continue but if you had gotten out Friday I know you would have been at more money than you were at the previous day but either way it's again it's not about one specific trade it's just about being in the center using common sense and I go back to IBM because that was a trade I don't think you use common sense. So I mean it's common sense is very important with this where you can achieve your dreams if you think about it in a more balanced way. There is some times you're going to be surprised when the market's going to give you something big unexpectedly and you're going to be joyous and happy it's going to be amazing but you you can't fall into every huge success just like you can't fall into every trade that loses and the mistake that people make is that when a trade doesn't lose or you have even two losing days in a row or two losing trades or three losing trades or whatever it is then you fall into that thing of the negative thinking and feeling like you're out of control it's out of control the market's controlling you money is controlling you you don't control over anything you decide in your mind that you're going to take control of the situation and really I'm telling you when you think like that even though you can't move the market or a stock somehow it works I'm just telling you I just know it's like walk around like buddy doesn't control you you're in control it's you're in control of the money yes I have I have done that yes I have yes I'm quite capable of doing that I mean I have these three trades on the moment I have to spy you at Cisco and then tell and that's fine that's perfectly fine but I'm just saying in general like if I said where do you think you're going to be 12 31 19 I don't even think you could say anything to me that would be totally positive or optimistic because you're in a mental state right now that isn't positive about money if I said how much money do you think you could have in your account by 12 31 19 which is a long long long way away where do you think you're going to be by then I'm not sure you can come out with an answer that's that is a little problem yes that's a little so then you don't have any that's what I'm saying the money is controlling you and you don't have any direction like you don't even believe that you're going to achieve the goal that you want and you're not even sure what that is at this point other than that you just want to be successful like in your mind you can't even picture what you want it's not even you can't even conceive of it and that's problematic but you can change that making the decision is the hardest thing or the easiest depending on where you are but one thing I know is you do have to do it and if you don't have a clue then the then even expecting anything to happen that's going to be what you want will not be what you get because it's going to be what you want and you're going to continue to stay in this cycle so you're in like a cycle here and you are in a rut and you need to get out of it and I'm saying this to help you because I want you to get out of it yes thank you I do need to get out of it you're not the only person everybody goes through periods where they feel like this I mean I do they really really do whether again it's something it could be something like a divorce it could be something where they lose their job it could be trading it could be real estate it could be a million different things people go through downturns in their life financially or where they feel like money is controlling them and you really have to fight it you really have to like fight it like a tiger because it because it is such a big thing where it just is and so if you don't if you're not going to claw yourself back and fight back like a tiger it's going to it's going to overrun you and it will win in the end and then you're going to end up not being able to trade so you know you have to now is the time that you can fight back I kind of wanted you to fight back a little bit last week because if you had had a really good trade that would have helped your account the trade in the market even though you had more risk on if you had another extra $1,500 in your account $2,000 in account it would have been great it would yes it would and it nearly nearly didn't happen it nearly didn't happen why would you what would you did you go back and look did you actually go back and look what you would have made Friday what you would have been out well actually put another trade on well the one I called another one too yeah I put one on the I think it was the 277 I think it took and I made another 300 something dollars well that's fine that's good but the original one the one you were in the original one well it's about $50 I think the one that the one you called no the one you got out of that you're $1,500 at risk you made 300 yes yes well that would have obviously done because it was the lowest trying anyway that's what I'm saying did you go back and look and see what you would have been up in it no I didn't I don't feel like you know punching myself really but but don't you understand this is where you have to see wait a minute what was I thinking here I should have just listened to her that was crazy but that's easy to do isn't it Melissa you just hit the key and walk and like I said to you I could have just done that I have done that so but when you put me on the spot that's me what I was doing with it what did you pay for that when I forget would you pay I'm looking it up you remember just a second oh you did it on you did it on Wednesday you paid one something or two something I think I think it was the 272s yeah it was the 272s the the price ranges for about 347 377 okay so you wouldn't made it you could have made around 575 was it was almost like a 580 so five what did you pay for it you mean the total figure what did you pay for the trade when you bought it do you remember your original cost well I have several I've got four different prices here no the one that you took the one that you took 15 the 1500 yes yes the 1500 I don't have a set average price I think it was on the 13th average is 374 okay so you would have made an extra two so you would have made two two times you had four or five I had four contracts yeah so you would have made like 800 some bucks or something it was almost a thousand yeah anyways if you had done it and you had held it Friday based on the market I would have told you to hold it till Monday yes yes I can see that it closed high and it gapped up off the market as well so it looks like it would probably go that way on Monday I mean on Tuesday because the market's closed isn't it on Monday yeah but anyways long story short again everybody lectured you about the fact you need to follow my system and nothing else that's something that you're just going to have to decide in your own or not but getting back to what I was saying I was thinking about this morning you can't allow money to control you because you are and it's not going to it's not going to result in the outcome that you want I mean I can't be any clear so it's it's like you're it's like you're fighting against emotions and feelings and all and reality which is you look at your account and you have a certain amount of money and it's not as much as you want and you're worried about it I get all of that but that's where the tiger in you has to come out and you're you have to fight against it to create what you want even though it seems like how is that going to work I'm telling you that it does because when you stay in the mental state that you're at your account isn't going to grow does this make sense yes it does I mean I do consider that I am fighting because of the I'm fighting to maintain a stable risk to do the right thing every time being consistent well then fight to do it fight to do it like I like fight to do it like fight that thing inside of you that is wanting to screw it up which is screwing it up you take a trade to get out 200 bucks you take a trade to get up 150 dollars you take a trade to get out 300 dollars and all of a sudden your account's gonna grow grow grow grow grow you have to you have you're gonna have to fight to make it happen hard you have to fight hard to make it happen if you don't want to take another trade that I say is great and risk 1500 dollars then fine then fight to make it happen with the size account you have instead of allowing it to control you yes but that's exactly what I did the other day I took another position that was perfectly fine because you booked 300 dollars lickety split that was good you have to keep doing stuff like that not taking your own trade so taking the ones I call or unless you see a double one of something I call that you got out of that's okay but I'm just saying you know you have to stop letting the money control you and you have to fight to grow it you have to work really hard to grow that account as quick as you can and you can do it but your attitude has a lot to do with it and you and I just want you to just think about what I said I certainly will yes thank you all right have a good night you too thank you okay bye bye


Hello, thank you for joining me. I'm in Leek today, Leek Staffordshire, and this is the first video where we're gonna Follow the route of the old railway from Leek up towards Macklesill. So we've done the other way to Stoke on Trent Now where I am now is nothing to do with old railways The station was where Morrison's is and I've already made a video there So I thought it was pointless starting there again So I thought it was starting the housing estate. Now if you look at there's a sign there It says Rudyard that way and it says Leek the other way Now if you were going to, oh, hello, there's a cat. Hello, you come to be in my video with me So yeah, we have this cat who seems to be quite happy to join me. So where were we? That is the cycle path which runs along the old railway But as you can see now, we're not on an old railway at all, but we're gonna go and look for it I'm gonna say goodbye to the cat.  I did not expect that So if you're gonna walk along the old railway suggests you go that way But that's probably just assuming you want to get to Rudyard Lake Which you know why everyone wants to go to Rudyard Lake. It's such a lovely place but we are Going to find the mouth of the old tunnel before we start heading towards Rudyard Lake So we're gonna carry on in that direction there So as we go along, I think it's up here Somewhere we need to find the way into where the tunnel was No, I don't think it's that way So somewhere behind this housing estate is the old track bit And what I plan to do is to get onto the track bit, but then go in the opposite direction Nice old home to there in the opposite direction to try and find the old tunnel I don't think there's going to be a huge amount to see because from the other end is completely inaccessible the end from Nearest to the site of Leak railway station, but this end we might be able to see something So that's the plan for today and then what I'm going to do Over the next few days. I'm going to continue walking along the old track bed making my way Up towards Macclesfield. Well, we don't actually quite go to Macclesfield though. The railway line joins The line which runs from near Shogbro up to Manchester. It joins it Near Macclesfield I think the tunnel must be somewhere out there Somehow don't think that's going to get us there. I think possibly we get down here if we take A left up that road there that might take us on to the track bed So what I've actually done is I've come over the top of the tunnel It's a bit of a kind of one of these videos where I guess as I go kind of job But we will find it. I know we're close by And is it this one? That is looking half promising Don't think I think That's the cutting but doesn't look like there's a path So I think we're close. I think we're very close, but I don't think Wait, is that a path there? I think we found it, but we're not actually on track bed So there is a path here Let's have a look up here Strange Yeah, that is that's the track bed then down there And not quite sure where this path goes Perhaps after I've made the video Follow it see where it does go The tunnel must be down there somewhere It doesn't look like it's an easy way down That's definitely you can see how the cutting just ends there So we found the tunnel We need to get down there now. So let's go back this way That path carries on down there We'll see if we can Go up to the tunnel. So in the meantime, I'll see a bit about the history of the Roweline North of Leek It closed In 1964 all together Close to passengers in 1960 And it opened in 1950 and I've just done the history backwards, but Just did for a change Of course Part of the track bed the most scenic section along side Rudyard Lake Thank you very much.  Now we've got dogs What next? um So along the section along Rudyard Lake Is now The Rudyard Lake steam railway, which is You know great and That has featured in my miniature railway Britain series So what if you have a look the next video will be the miniature railway britain video, which has already been published So i'll put a link to that and we Have already traveled the full length of the Rudyard Lake railway and then um after that I shall go and Do the stations north from there. So there's rushed and spent so I think it's just rushed and now but we'll get on that when we get there Um, so there's a few stations up there I don't think it's as accessible As the line to stoke was the line to stokes a bit strange because it's not really A public footpath, but all the dogwalkers use it. So that's why I used it. We're just coming Easily alongside the old railway track now like actually see there's um It looks like it's a path. So i'm not sure where it's going to go So if we come the way the cycle path suggested it would probably cross the road bought us onto here if you look Now it says Rudyard. So let's go through here and um We'll go along the back on ourself. So finally we're on to the trap bed now There's been quite a lot of talk of the churnit valley railway extending to Rudyard I'm sorry not to Rudyard that would be brilliant if they could Rebore the tunnel and extend to Rudyard great. I meant to leak Never say never it might happen one day um That's weird Just get on for a minute The Rudyard Lake Railway may one day extend to leak because they've got all that track from the Arlamal Railway and of course There's plenty of room for them to do that So that could possibly happen now. I've just noticed That looks like a platform, but I as far as i'm aware there never was a railway station here It almost looks like I could have been like a little leak north halt or something. I don't know So when you're watching this um, who possibly remembers the railway in leak, can you tell me Was this ever a halt if not? What is this bit of brickwork because i'm a bit confused Right, anyway, so that way goes to Rudyard Lake We're going this way. We're going to try and find What there is of the tunnel if indeed anything so I imagine it's filled in from what I can see from walking around In the park up by the woodcroft you can look down. I can't see any masonry Of the tunnel so whether what a masonry must exist but be buried so The question is by two things. I'll find one out for myself at the moment Does this path go anywhere? Is it going to be a dead end? And two are we going to find anything of the tunnel? It'd be great to you know, I think we could just go then the tunnel will be there and I could just walk through it But I somehow doubt it Um, whether we're going to find a bricked up tunnel. I'm not sure I think we're going to be answered very soon because I can already see what appears to be A bit of a dead end so perhaps It's looking from what I can see Like the tunnel's been completely filled in and there's nothing to see which is a bit of a shame So where does this path go is this Complete dead end. So when I we first came to where you could see any form of railway We were up there at the top of the cutting And it appears the path that goes Over the top of the tunnel. So what I think I'll do when I get to as far as I can go here I'll go back that way. I won't record it all because They won't be new to show you if I find anything Exciting above there I'll record a bit more and add that onto the video if not then this will be what it is. So it's It's a bit strange here because it's getting muddier, but we're actually Starting to go uphill. So I think about Just there We've left the Trap bed and they've filled it in so I'm sort of getting higher and higher so I've kind of gone from track level So about now I'm probably at The floor of the carriage level if I keep going I'm going to be almost On the roof of the train level And it really does not look like there's anything so it looks like they've filled in The cutting up to where the tunnel was and I had it's getting really muddy as well um Because obviously this is artificial This isn't natural this land. It's been dug out and it's been put back. There's a fallen tree I think Gone as far as I can go without getting Really really muddy Um, this wasn't meant to be a muddy walk. This was just a Stroll to try and find the end of the old tunnel. So I'm gonna leave it here. I'm gonna do that path though Up there just to see where it goes partly out curious to partly if I can find anything at the tunnel so Hope you enjoyed this video um over the next few episodes we shall Continue nor for the next one would be The other side of the leak and Rudyard railway leak and Rudyard railway Effectively covers the railway The section that's reopened as As a miniature railway, but north of there I'll do my usual format as I did with leaked stoke. I'll make a video at each station and I'll make one Where it joins the main line. So thank you very much for watching I hope you enjoyed the rest of the series Looking towards Macklesfield from the old railway leak. Goodbye


In this study, researchers examined how quickly the body loses its stores of B-group vitamins after being deprived of them for five days. They found that the body rapidly loses its stores of vitamins B1, B2, for pyridoxic acid, a catabolite of vitamin B6, pantothenic acid, folate and biotin. These vitamins are excreted from the body through urination, and their levels in urine and blood drop sharply within two days. This suggests that the body may be able to detect when it has run out of vitamins and begin to excrete them before becoming deficient.

Hello and welcome to Dare to Dream. This is Debbie Daschinger. It's a pleasure to be with you. I've been off for a few weeks and it's It's good to be off It's good to switch up the scenery and it's good to come back because this is one of my favorite places to hang out on the planet. I actually had the honor last night of teaching 55,000 people in the entertainment industry about visibility and why visibility and media is so important, why it's a game-changer and it's interesting because that's how I started out my career for a really long time. I was an actress and a singer and then at some point well into my adulthood just you know something shifted and I didn't know what to do literally except to surrender and follow energy and eventually it led me here doing all of what I'm doing and I love what I do and I love that I get to teach and work with people like this. Usually I work with spiritual entrepreneurs and I help them to write their book. I help them to write a page-turner. I help them to take their book to a guaranteed international bestseller and then I teach them the ultimate visibility which is how to be interviewed on radio and podcasts and how to get results. So working with entertainment people last night was a really interesting full circle for me and I'm starting to hear from a lot of them who have interest in my upcoming class. I'll tell you a little bit about it later, the ultimate visibility formula. It's going to be rolling out again, and it's a six-week on week online class with me working with me directly being coached and creating all your materials and plus knowing how to be exquisite savvy and confident when you are on air or on camera. And so for those of you who are interested go to debbyd.net visibiltydebbid.net visibilty and this show has been nominated for two People's Choice podcast awards and also, I just heard from the Webby Awards and they have asked me to actually their third very kind and gracious nudge-nudge wink-wink to me if you would please, if I would please take the show and submit it for a Webby Award. So I I'm living in a lot of grace and gratitude right now. I want to say thank you to Dr. Dane here in Access Consciousness for sponsoring this show. They do beautiful energy work out into the world and if you're looking for a way to become a facilitator of energy work or to be healed by energy work, this is a really different outfit. Go to dr.dane here h-e-e-r dot com. Also, if you love the show, if you want to get a visual of me and my guests, go to youtube.com slash debby dashing or you can watch us there or if you would rather hear the audio of the show, we are on 30 different podcast sites and four different radio stations. Just to name a few, there's Apple and Google Podcasts. There's Spreaker, BBS Radio, Pandora, I Heart Radio and way more. And when you go there, take a moment, leave a five star review. So other people who love this conversation can find it as well. Well, question is how much are you suffering? How much in a daily basis do you spend in the rut? Of suffering and if Buddha could kick the habit of suffering, can we? My guest today is William Arntz, who is a physicist, software entrepreneur, filmmaker and author. He wrote simulators for the early Star Wars program, created software that the Fortune 500 world runs on, created the movie.  Movie and books and co-created the book of visionary prophecies, the not so little book of surprises with his wife, Deirdre, and his new book is called How to Suffer in 10 Easy Steps. Yes, we all fall into suffering, but there are ways to get out of that rut. If you'd like to learn more about him, go to howtosuffer.me. William, welcome to Deirdre Dream. It's great to have you. Thank you. Good to be here. Yeah, great to have you. I actually love that website. I think that's pretty funny and I don't know that it was intentional, but the fact that it's howtosuffer.me really speaks volumes because a lot of people suffer, a lot of people take on the onus, the mantle, whether it's external events, people, conditions that create suffering or it's the internal, the state of suffering alone. So I know that your book How to Suffer actually brings suffering out of the closet and you don't have to be Jewish to do it. So I love you to tell the story that you start the book with about the experience your wife had and the catalyst that got you to write the book. Well, thank you. I'll say what happened because it was quite a surprise to me. I was walking through the living room one evening and my wife, Deirdre, was laying down on the couch and her back was out. She was laying there face down, not moving. And I went through and I said, well, honey, you want to go into the kitchen? Maybe have a little Chardonnay and I'm trying to cheer up. And she didn't say anything, didn't even move. I said, honey, are you OK? Well, what are you doing? She goes, I just want to lay here and suffer. And I was like, what? Because, you know, no one says it like that. I said, well, what are you doing? What are you doing? At that point, I just started to laugh. Now, because of what the bleep stuff that I've done and Deirdre's in sort of the self-help spiritual genre anyway, we know a lot of people in the self-help industry. And so I'm always making jokes about, oh, they always say it's so easy and it's not. So I say, she goes, I want to perfect my suffering. I say, well, someone should write a book, How to Suffer in Ten Easy Steps. And so she kind of rolls over there and starts laughing. And she goes, yeah, yeah, some we all need to perfect our suffering. And then we start riffing on it. We decide just like we're doing a roast, right? A roast of self-help books. And well, we should have this and we should have a suffering hall of fame. We should have love songs that hurt and we just going on and on like this.  She's kind of laughing. I'm laughing. And after about 10 minutes of riffing on this, she's good enough. We go off into the kitchen. She has her Chardonnay. Her brother calls. We tell him the title. He starts laughing. And then, you know, we go for another 20 minutes and have a good time. One side note is that he was no longer suffering once we got laughing. But anyway, now it's one of those things you have these crazy and we were out of it. Oh, well, moving on. Well, I kind of thought that. But a month later, I'm still thinking about this thing. It stuck in my mind. And so I decided to start writing some chapters, really just as a joke, just as a satire I could send to my friends in the self-help world. We have a laugh and forget about it. And so I started writing and I kept writing for a year and a half. And lo and behold, the book was done, much to my surprise. So the big question is, did you suffer as you wrote the book? Well, I suffered, but not because I wrote the book. I suffered because I was alive and things would happen in my life. Things would happen that I didn't really want to have happens.  I mean, there was a whole. So that's the thing.  And so as I realized, but I hadn't realized that to that level until I started writing the book. And then I started realizing how everyone.  So there's the book. Interesting. And I just want to make of note for people listening or watching that William is actually in the mountains, so he's not suffering while he's there. It sounds rather beautiful. But if you hear a little wonkiness in the quality of the Wi-Fi, that's why I just stick with us. And it's interesting because hearing what happened, you're riffing, you're coming up with these ideas, Deirdre starts laughing. She eventually has the Chardonnay. She's not suffering so much. Do you think that by actually embracing, there was some wisdom there by saying, I'm going to suffer. I'm going to be in this, that something happened of a transition. And then the next transition occurred when there was levity. Definitely. That's the thing I realized was that because she, instead of like bemoaning it or, you know, saying, oh, gee, I'm so unfortunate, yeah, she just went into it. And she decided she was just going to experience it without trying to push it away or rationalize it or anything. She was just going to go into it and really experience it. And it turns out that by doing that, that's the way you can actually move through it much quicker. You know, if you're, we know this from psychology, if you're always trying to deny something, you keep pushing it away, it just, one of the big things I realized in writing this book is for people to acknowledge it and really go into it and experience it instead of just blowing it off. Interesting. It can be said that suffering can actually be contrast. It could give us appreciation of moments of comfort. So if life were comfortable 24 seven, we wouldn't be able to appreciate the moments of comfort. For example, it would be nothing to compare comfort to. So I'm curious if you subscribe to the notion that any of us having experienced suffering at any time in our life. Then we can also experience something contrary like accomplishment, comfort crossing the finish line, joy, ease. Well, it certainly seems that we need to have those moments where we're relatively miserable to really appreciate those, the wonderful moments. And one thing that I bring up in the book is the notion that if you could, most people think unconsciously or subconsciously that if I could get everything I wanted the way I wanted, when I wanted it, my life would be perfect. I never have any troubles. I never be miserable. I never suffer if I could get everything my way. And the thing is that's an erroneous assumption. I mean, personally, I had these goals. I wanted to be a successful scientist. I did this, successful entrepreneur. Yeah, I did this.  Yahoo! Good for me. I made the movie. Okay, that was a big thing. You know, I've accomplished all the stuff that I want to do. Accomplish all the while thinking that once I hit that and I didn't have any more worries, I was on cloud nine. Life wouldn't would no longer drag me down. And I was in for a rude surprise when it started to. So, you know, to get back to what you said, those moments where you were it's really tough and you're miserable, just even physically. You know, then suddenly when it goes away and you feel good again, it's like, oh, oh God, I feel good now. So it seems to be as humans, we need that plus and minus. Right. Because there have been so many people could popcorn, many, many names. Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Sitting Bull, to name just a few. They endured great suffering at the hand of others, but it could be plausible to think, will they also experience happiness within the suffering? Because at some level, they're achieving greatness. They're actualizing their potential and the potential of their people through these very hardships that they suffer. Yeah. And I mean, think about Nelson Mandela. I mean, they locked him up and still all unheard. He was something of a terrorist. And he spent those, what, 20 years in prison. And at that point, he transformed. I mean, and that prison experience wasn't fun, but he completely transformed and then emerged and led the nation. I mean, that's a classic example of how going through that, what looks to the outside world, a miserable time, he was able to take it and turn it into transformation. Right. Well, it'd be interesting to see people self-identify when you talk about suffering. So the dictionary actually describes suffering as a state of undergoing pain, distress or hardship. And it's interesting because there's also a reference to weapons, right? Weapons of suffering. So it made me think, oh, we actually weaponize ourselves, right? Sometimes out of subconscious choice to suffer. But I would be curious, what is your definition of suffering? What are the various ways people suffer? Well, I think in the end, suffering is totally an internal state.  You can be in a lot of pain and not really suffer. So some people, like when you look at athletes, world class athletes, the training they go through in order to be able to perform, most people would call that suffering, the diets they do, how they push themselves beyond what they can possibly endure. If you or I were to do that, we would be suffering. But because their goals are such that higher than that, they're able to take the pain and not suffer. So then the question says, well, if they're able to do that, the pain is still in the body. Who is suffering? Who is suffering? And it's the question that a lot of the spiritual folks, they go into, who am I? Who ultimately am I? Am I my body? No. Am I my emotions? No. This is a Buddhist thing in my mind. No. So who am I? So I have come to the realization that the person that suffers is that, who am I? So it happens at a very deep level. Now there's all these external things coming in. There's the physicalness. There's an emotional pain.  That's very an emotional pain. So now it's not in the body per se. It's in the emotions, but still there is suffering going on. So the whole thing about who is suffering and how does pain have to do with the pressure of suffering? And the idea is there's a point at which the pain builds and you're not suffering. And then it almost triggers to a point where, oh, my God, this is horrible. I can't take it anymore. And then you, the internal person is now suffering. So that's what I've come to realize in looking at this and watching myself and going, oh, my God, because there will be things that annoy me, things that I worry about, but then it gets to a certain threshold. And then I'm suddenly, I'm just miserable. I'm suffering over something. So that's the thing that I realize. We have more control of that threshold than we might believe. That's interesting. Two of those examples were interesting, especially the one about the athletes. I've done two Los Angeles marathons. And most often, it's great surprise to me if it should, for whatever reason, come out in conversation, people have these big reactions.  I had a passion all of a sudden. It was as much a surprise to me as anybody else. But I knew enough when a dream comes to me. It's my job to salt and pepper it, make it come true. So I think it's so funny to watch the reaction because it was actually not only a joy, it was difficult training without a doubt. And it expanded me in a lot of ways. Ultimately, it taught me when I crossed the finish line and when I bested my time the second year, how limitless I am, right? So there was a modicum of discomfort. I don't know that I'd call it suffering. So it's interesting when it comes to athletic pursuits, the reactions of people. The other thing I was thinking of when you said that was, you know, it's often said people who travel to a third world country and they'll see people with much less than in general, people have, let's say, in the US, they'll say, but the one thing I noticed is how much joy they had, how connected the family was, how happy they were. Although in many people's eyes, they seem to have less. And to us here, that might have been suffering. To them, they might not have known any different. And I really believe that's a state of mind. And so when you say this. Are there common patterns or common issues that surround the state of suffering? Well, there are. I mean, there's eight billion people. So, I mean, we all also have our own particular brand of it that we've made our physical when you're in, you know, when a loved one dies or leads you. That's another one.  I live in Montecito part time and we were surrounded by fire that fire two years ago. And we thought our house was gone. So luckily it wasn't, but a lot of people was. And so for them, that would again, loss is another form. So there are certain type things, you know, abandonment. People have abandoned them when they feel abandoned. They're abandoned in the child. That'll that'll something that keeps coming back through their lives. So there's lots of, you know, different ways in which people do it. But again, we're all human and we have, you know, our emotional bodies are kind of the same and the physical bodies. So, yeah, they tend to go down certain pathways. So, so what happened for you? Yes and no. Yes and no. Excuse me. I'm just curious since you wrote the book, Will, and, you know, immersing yourself. You said it was a year, a year and a half of writing. What has changed for you around suffering? Well, the big thing that's changed. I came up with this thing, the chapter, the pseudoscience of suffering. Then I got kind of scientifically there's graphs and charts and whatnot. And at the end, I say, well, any science, even a pseudoscience needs some sort of metric in order to measure it. So I am now introducing a sufferometer. And I have instructions on making this thing a sufferometer with a dial. You know, you can set to where you're suffering and some other sliders and stuff to really externalize your internal state. And I thought, yeah, I did a kind of, you know, I'm in the roast mode and kind of making fun of things. And I have a whole satirical thing through the book because, you know, if you're talking about suffering, you don't want to make the people suffer by reading it.  So I wanted it to be humorous. So I have the sufferometer and the sufferometer. I started using it and much to my surprise, the actual discipline of going up to this crazy thing and putting on a scale of one to one hundred, how much you're suffering was a revelation. Because often you go, well, how much am I really suffering? And you stop and look at it. And it's like, you know, or vice versa. Wow. That thing that someone said yesterday is still really bothering me. It really is upsetting me. It's is that by being more aware of how much I am suffering, it enables me to deal with it much quicker. The other thing that writing the book has done is that when, you know, some really bad stuff happens and I'm really miserable, the idea that, OK, this is my opportunity to change because I know in my life going back thinking the times I've changed the most for the better. Has been when I've been really, really suffering, really miserable. I know. Why is that? That's just the way we are.   It really is. And so when you use that and instead of going into despondency, you say, OK, I'm down here now. There's something I have to learn. I'm going to get the lesson and I'm not going to forget it. And then, you know, you embark on change. Wow. Can we actually accomplish the end of suffering? Is there a way to create the cessation of suffering? Well, according to Buddha, who is much more qualified to answer that question than me, seeing he said he did that, you know, he came up with his noble eightfold, eightfold path on how not to suffer. So there was, you know, there is that.  So I can't really say for sure. These other beings that have gone before have said, yes, it is possible to do that, but certainly within everyone, you can diminish it and become more aware and use it so it doesn't basically drive your life. Because a lot of what another thing I realize, a lot of what everyone does is they do all this stuff so that they won't suffer. So I want to make a lot of money so I'll never suffer lack. You know, I want to find my true love so I'll never suffer loneliness. And so there's a certain motivation. It's motivating us behind the scenes to do things. Whereas when you become more aware of it, then it's like, oh, let's not have it motivate me, let me use it in a way that's beneficial. That's wonderful. Using suffering to be beneficial. And it truly is a great motivator, I agree. Well, folks, if you are ready and desiring to do what William's doing right now, being interviewed, promoting the launch of his amazing book, maybe it's a film you've done, maybe it's a business of service, maybe you're an expert at something.

You want to register today. The class is starting to get full. And if you're tuning in after we've started, this is Debbie Dashinger on Dare to Dream and I am interviewing Will Arntz, who wrote and directed the film, What the Bleak, Do We Know? His latest book is called How to Suffer. How to suffer in 10 easy steps, discover, embrace and own the mechanics of misery. You can find his website at howtosuffer.me. Gosh, I love that website. So, Will, welcome back to the show. You know, Nietzsche saw the mere pursuit of happiness and defined that as that, which gives us pleasure. He thought it was a really dull waste of a human life. And he declared that humankind doesn't strive for happiness, only the Englishman does. And he referenced English philosophy being in a time where mankind invented happiness. So psychology sometimes agrees with that. And then, you know, on the other hand, there's the psychologist, Victor Frankel, who suggested that the key to living a really good life was to find meaning and going to, so far as to say that we find positive meaning for the suffering that people endure. So what are your thoughts on suffering and finding meaning? Whoa, that was a lot all at once. Unpack as you will. Well, that was quite a bit. I mean, finding meaning, find meaning in suffering, that's, I think you have to find meaning in suffering because otherwise it just is this arbitrary thing that happened to you. And then people tend to become the victim. And once you go into victim, you've disempowered your situation. Finding meaning in whatever state you're in is really good. But the idea about just chasing pleasure for a good life, I mean, there's a lot of instances where people have done that. They've chased pleasure in every which way they can. And the life ends in suicide. I mean, we've all read things about that in the paper. People who are immensely popular, immensely successful. And they, quote, unquote, have it all and yet at the end they pull the plug. So that idea of just chasing pleasure, I mean, the hedonist sort of worldview, that really doesn't seem to fulfill people. So then you get to the question, what ultimately fulfills people? Well, that's a whole thing. There's people who are spiritual who would say that, OK, it's finding connection with the divine or connection with God, feeling one with the universe, feeling that I'm a part of the whole cosmos and feeling everything. That's meaning for them. You have the people who are secular humanists who say, well, all that God stuff is focus, focus. But what's important to me is that I treat my fellow humans properly. And I do the best I can to make everyone's life good. And they get meaning from that. So, you know, again, there's no one way. But that thing about finding, you know, people will say, what's your passion? Find what your passion is and then go that. Like you were saying about running the marathon, that was a bit of surprise to you that you were even doing it. But something within you, a part of you was just compelled to do it. And so you did it.  So it seems to me of some more to say, you know, what's the purpose of this life? It's to evolve and to grow and to become something more than we are. I mean, that's my fundamental belief. So when you're doing that, then that gives your life meaning. And you say, oh, that's why, because otherwise life is just purposelessness. And then we're just, you know, we're just here to eat and sleep. And the people who live that life generally are not very happy. Yeah. I was thinking while you were sharing that, I never considered that before. When you were referencing back to the marathon, but I actually am thinking now, oh, I think there's inherent in every transition, even really great transitions that we'll call to that there is some suffering because there's something completely new. Let's say you want to lose weight. There's going to be discomfort. There's going to be maybe a feeling of suffering.  Or if you become an entrepreneur and there's all the growing pains that one goes through, even writing, I mean, I'm a book writing coach and I help people, but I know writers at some point, you know, there's an element somewhat because it's not always easy to write. It's not always easy to do that process. So it's almost like voluntary suffering in order to create a new dream, a new paradigm. Well, that's definitely true.  I mean, that's something that just has happened in my life. My son, you get in the comfort zone and then you just you just hit the repeat button. That's why it was like when you go into the spiritual ashram. I mean, the stuff that they put you through there, they'll wake you up in the middle of the night, they'll march you, they do all the stuff to basically break down your patterns so that a new person can emerge.  And we tend to repeat, we tend to repeat, we tend to repeat. And just the way we are, we just need something to blow up the patterns. And that is what it is. And something like you said, but the marathon where you really wanted to do it. And so you're out training.  I feel like I'm getting sick. Why am I doing this? I feel miserable. And then you keep going. And then you keep going and you learn something in that. So that's something that all us humans that I find for myself, I'm 70 now. And there's a way in which I sort of find myself like, oh, I'm just going to do that for a month or so. And then I'm like, well, that was a book. I think there's even a pre Internet problems. Yeah, it's it's got a lot of wonkiness going on. But we're getting the gist of what you're saying. And I'm listening to you and thinking, you know, there's even a pre suffering. A self imposed suffering, because I'm thinking about I used to I used to I'm asked to speak on stage quite a bit. But it used to be I would suffer so much before I went on stage. So exactly the question you were referring to, which is why am I doing this? Why am I putting myself through this? Once I got on stage, I was thrilled. I was comfortable. I had a great time. I thought, why did I put myself through that? I don't live through that anymore, by the way, that is completely healed that whole situation. But it is interesting to reflect back on that and think that or, you know, people can put put in whatever you do before you actualize something, right?  And you haven't even done it yet.  You couldn't do this. And then to get people does, I can't take it. I can't take it. I can't take it anymore. And then they cross the boundary and they go, oh, yes, I can. So that's the way we are fascinating. So this juxtaposition your life because your professional career, research, laser physicists developing wave optics simulators for high energy laser systems becomes the Star Wars strategic defense system.  Can you talk about that? What created that need for you a desire? And then what kind of bridge did you create? What was that whole experience like? Well, I mean, I love science. But towards the end of my college, I started realizing that physics doesn't tell you the why of anything. They'll tell you that force equals mass times acceleration. They'll say time acts this way. They'll say in quantum physics, they hear the equations. But when you say why, why is it there's never an answer? And I was always interested in time. And I'm like, why is time, what is time? So I started reading metaphysics, you know, where they start getting into like, well, time is a relative of the space time thing. And in other dimensions, time is all eternal now. In other place, time just plain doesn't exist. So you can't even. So I started reading this stuff, and I was really intrigued by it. And but then there was the stuff about meditating and purifying yourself. And I just ignored that for years, figuring out, I don't need that stuff. After about 10 years of that, I kind of realized, oh, I think I need that stuff. And I'm not figuring it out on my own. So that's when I started with a meditation teacher. And I started doing that. And I just had a sense again, it's an intuition, but the spiritual world that had been denied by the materialistic scientists was as real as that. And so I was just drawn into it, adjust on a deep level made sense to me. So I went off on that, you know, and really once you get the advanced spiritual thing, there is a lot of scientific things. Like if you talk to people about the laws of karma, people have gone for decades talking about that in the intricacies. So it's not just this like, wave your hands and put that happened. So I like that. And then of course, where they came together was when I made the what the bleep film, because that was really about the science and spirituality and the meeting of the two. So for me, that kind of came full circle. And those two parts of my interest in my life came together. Do you think you'll make any more films? Well, I don't think I'll make any more films, but I never thought I would write a book, another book. And I really never thought I'd write a book about suffering.  But suffering is a very internal thing that I've more or less than most of my life tried to ignore. So when you say I'm going to make another movie, I think, well, probably not, but there's a 50 50 chance because like we were saying earlier, when you just get that inspiration, the part of you that just says, you know, I'm going to do this like with writing this book, there would be mornings I would sit down to meditate and partway through the meditation. I start thinking about the book. And suddenly I like, oh, that's a whole chapter. So now I never thought I'd do next. OK, so never say never. Well, this is Dare to Dream. And I am interviewing the author, William Arntz. And the show is all about successful leaders who have created really major goals. And I ask you, what would you do if you knew that you could not fail? What would it take for you to feel completely uninhibited, free and bold to go after and live out loud what it is you came here to do? Dare to Dream is your number one transformation conversation, radio show and podcast. You can help the show by donating. Go to patreon.com slash Dare to Dream because we help you and support you.  Bigger ways to create your dreams and get there. Again, I am speaking with William Arntz, his latest book, How to Suffer.  So, Will, this is Dare to Dream. What are you next, Dare to Dream? What are your future dreams and goals? Well, right now. Gee, I mean, I've always when you're talking about. Daring to Dream. I've always had the ability to do that. Like when I when I went and made What the What the Bleep? I really made movies before. And so the idea of doing that and making this big thing, people would tell me, oh, you're going to waste your money. But I was like, no, I'm just going to go do it. And gee, I hope I'm good at it. When I did my first software companies, I had written a lot of software, but doing business is a whole other thing. And I had never done any business. And here I am just diving in and doing. But again, I was that like, well, I'm just going to dive in and do it. So that's the part of your Dare to Dream that I think is is really important for people is that that knowing that I'm just going to give it my all. I'm going to go ahead and do it.  They go, oh, gee, I'd really like to do this. But, well, I don't know, you know, then all the doubts come in and that sort of thing. And I mean, with my movie, maybe luckily I did have some talent and it turned out well.  And I said, no, not this one. This one's different. Oh, my goodness. So, wow, that was a good practice. But it's more important, I think, to go ahead and do it and write that first book, because that's how you learn. I mean, and that's how you learn what you can and can't do. So I'm with you on Dare to Dream. I'm grateful. You're a great example of living dreams out loud and so many different arenas. That's a beautiful thing.  And so I wonder what is the one ritual or practice outside of meditation that you engage in? What keeps you really grounded? What keeps me really grounded? It keeps me really grounded. Nature, it's nature. You know, I just love, I'm up here at 8,300 feet in the mountains. I love that. And that's it for me, nature. Being in nature, quiet, wildlife, all that stuff. Did you get any of that? You just blinked out. Yes, no, you said nature and I concur. That's a beautiful answer, actually. So does that mean that I know you're in the mountains right now, does that mean that you purposely either live there or find ways to go there? And if so, what do you do with nature that really grounds your, connects you? Well, the thing that grounds me the most is when the wild animals come by. Like this summer, there was a moose that ended up taking, started living in my courtyard here.  So I'm like, hi moose. And the moose, and I have conversations with these animals and they just kind of look at me like, ooh, but that happens, a herd of elk around. Sometimes over a hundred, they'll surround my house. And then I go out and I found there's a way in which to be with animals where you don't frighten them. You kind of walk around with them. I have a bobcat that shows up that, again, the bobcat has come by enough that when I see the bobcat, I always go out and generally bobcats will just run when you show up. But this one now stops. We kind of look at each other and we just will hang out together. So when the wildlife comes through, you know, for me, that's really something special and I just love it. That's beautiful. How have people been receiving your book? Well, people have really, really liked it. I mean, the first off, I get a lot of comments about say, oh, well, it really is funny. There's a lot of humor in it. So they like that. And then they it's funny in the beginning. And by the time you get through it, you were like, wow, there was there was a lot there. It was really beneficial. So people in the interviewers that I've had, people have been very supportive and said, wow, this is really interesting that no one's really talked about bringing suffering out of the closet before. And we all do it, but no one talks about it directly. And they're all like, like, huh, that's really something. So the response has been good. I concur. There's there's a lot and and well easy read, by the way. But there's a lot in here. I like the different rhythms in the book and the various points brought up and the noble truths brought up that's something people will want to read about. And there's this notion, too, that suffering is actually working out of one's life history. What do you think about that? What do you mean by working out of life history? I'm not quite sure what you mean. Yeah. So you had brought up the idea in the beginning of abandonment that some people experience abandonment when they're young. And it seems to be a recurring theme that might come up. And you could put a lot of things in that spaces that there are things people might have experienced emotionally, physically, culturally, wherever they grew up, whatever country that might have created some kind of belief, limitation, trauma. But the suffering itself may be a calling to be healed that when we suffer and if we carry through with some of the steps you talk about and some of what you mentioned in this interview, that we actually can work out our life history. We can find a way through to the other side. Well, that was very well said. I agree with what she said. You answered your own you answered your own question very well. I can't add much to that. I mean, you kind of nailed it right then and there. So, yeah, there's that, you know, thing. And if you continually suffering over the same thing. It's it's time to really go and do the inner work. And the fact that it keeps coming up and I mean, there's a certain notion. This is more of a metaphysical concept that if you, if there's a part of you that needs that healing, you will keep creating the situations in your life to bring it up until you clear it. So by ignoring it, it's just going to keep coming back because your soul is going to keep bringing his experiences in for you to clear it. So once once if you're if you believe that and I certainly do, then it's like, well, something keeps coming up. It's time to like to say, whoa, what's what's really going on here? I need to go on of the four noble truths. Can you choose one and talk a little bit about it? Well, the the first noble truth is life is suffering. So that's like, OK, if you're living, you're going to suffer. The one noble truth is all suffering is caused by attachment to the unsubstantial.  So I should say in the second half of the book, the first is the 10 easy steps to suffering. The second half of the book is the six slippery steps to get out of suffering. And the reason they're slippery is one would be attachment or non-attachment because on the one hand you're non-attached, so things don't bother you. But some people are so non-attached, nothing bothers them.  They get so much into their own attached that again, they just zombify. So it's slippery. You know, you can be too non-attached. You can be too attached. So I call these slippery steps because you have to use your wisdom to find the balance, the golden middle path to to use it. So that's that's the one noble truth about detachment.  But that's that. So how can people find you besides the how to suffer dot M E? Where would you like to direct people? And is there anything you want to tell them about that you're doing or offering right now? Well, that's probably that's probably the thing. Yeah, how to suffer dot me. Aside from that, I'm mostly just doing these these interviews because there's been quite a few of them. And aside from that, going for walks in nature, that's pretty much what's going on in here. And that the best place to find it now, there's a website. If you go to the homepage on that website that it takes you to, there's other stuff that I'm doing. But right now it's it's all about suffering. I know you're a member of the Transformational Leadership Council. We have many mutual friends in that group and also the offset group as well. How is that experience for you, that mastermind, if you will, at that level? Well, the mastermind, it's it's that's an interesting question. I mean, part of the inspiration for this book was because, you know, like I know all those folks and they're they're all doing this sort of self help stuff. And I often get in the conversations with them saying, you know, is it is it really easy or not? But, you know, getting around people like that who are, you know, what can I bring to the world that there needs and, you know, a lot of people focused on the healing and you just get around those folks. And it's just inspiring because everyone's everyone's working away at it. So it's kind of a meeting of the minds. Thank you for coming on the show today.
