164: You Are Your Story

YOU ARE YOUR STORY

You don’t have to believe that you are your story. But, why wouldn’t you choose to believe it?

If you don’t like your current life, and you choose to say, “That’s the way it is. That’s reality, and I must accept it,” you will be right.

You won’t be right because it is an objective truth. You will be right because the words you say to yourself write the story that becomes your reality.

If you want to find intellectual arguments that debunk what I’m saying, you’ll find them.

I’m not interested in those arguments; I’m interested in the experiences of human beings whose lives offer irrefutable proof that your self talk define your beliefs, and your beliefs create your reality.

One of those human beings is today’s podcast guest. The trajectory of his life is one of the most brilliant demonstrations of the statement that you are your story.

Our guest is Randy Gage, an internationally respected and recognized prosperity mentor, an author who has written eleven books that have been translated into twenty-five languages, and a member of the Speakers Hall of Fame who has spoken to more than 2 million people across more than 50 countries.

Did I mention that he also loves to play softball?

It’s important to mention that Randy Gage is a multi-millionaire and a millionaire maker. His friends and business associates include some of the world’s most powerful people of influence. I’m not writing this to impress you. I want to impress upon you that Randy Gage should not “realistically” be the mega success that he is today. You’ll hear him say so in this podcast.

Many of Randy’s early life circumstances would paint a picture of a man headed for a life of crime and/or dereliction.

He was a teenage alcoholic and crystal meth addict. He was a thief who spent his sixteenth birthday in a jail cell waiting for trial on an armed robbery charge. He is a brilliant, articulate, high school droput.

In his early adulthood, he failed to pay taxes on his restaurant business, and the IRS seized and sold his restaurant.

He almost bled to death from a gunshot wound in his stomach.

You’ll be inspired and even transformed (if your mind and heart are open) by the abundant blessed life Randy Gage created in spite of those devastating circumstances by intentionally changing his mindset.
