Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: Rediscover Your Childlike Wonder to Unleash Inspiration, Meaning And Joy with John O Leary
[1:30] – John shares something interesting about himself that most people do not know.
- He identifies himself as an introvert.
[3:45] – 6 Questions to answer for you to live and lead IN AWE:
- Kids are naturally optimistic. What kids have that you’ve lost sight of – and how you can return to it – is the premise of the book.
#1 Who cares?
- Kids care deeply about everything, and they are fully engaged with whatever task they are in.
- It allows you to live in your mission not only directionally, but in the moment.
[6:27] – #2 Why me?
- Ask it the way kids do; kids are naturally curious.
- It can be asked, not as a victim, but through the lens of profound gratitude.
- If you want to build a better business, a better life, a better marriage, a better family, and a better country, you have to be open-minded and have a kids heart.
[10:07] – #3 What more can I do?
- Ask it the way a child does: what more can you do to soak up the very gift that this day presents for you and for those you serve?
- John shares his story about how Joe Buck’s father changed his life.
[14:31] – #4 Why not?
- The question “Why not?” is asked not from the standpoint of the things that cannot be done, but from the standpoint of saying, what might happen?
- John shares a story about how he was able to use his hands again, and live life well.
[17:59] – A timeout to thank our sponsors, ZipRecruiter and Secrets Masterclass!
[20:23] – #5 Bring your glove
- John covers different senses in the book, In Awe:
- Wonder – the ability to live life like a child. You do not need to be a child to be childlike.
- Expectancy – what you believe will happen and influence what does happen.
- If you want something better for your life, you have to expect profound things.
[25:12] – JLD talks about his Price is Right experience.
- He was the first person called down on stage and he won a car.
[26:23] – #6 Which wall is your ladder against?
- Make sure that your success is not at the expense of the things that matter.
- Your foundation must be firm, and you must make sure that your ladder is against the right wall.
[29:13] – Get in the game.
- Too frequently in life, you just stay on the bench. Get in the game, and make sure to recognize the value of your life.
