That's impossible.

Let me tell you what I believe.

It's your weakness, it's not your technique.

Don't think you know.

The Impossible Life Podcast and yes, sitting on a winning lottery.

Second, an idea that is fully formed, fully understood, that sticks.

This is the Impossible Life Podcast because Nick and I are attempting to live impossible lives.

What we know is that nothing is impossible.

So instead of using impossible as an excuse to not try, we'll use the pursuit of impossible as an accelerant for greatness.

If something's never been done before, that just means it's unexplored.

If they tell you it's too hard, it's just waiting to be simplified.

Impossible as a default label used by uncourageous people unwilling to take a risk.

The real truth is this.

The solution to any impossible task starts with this question, if I had to, what would it take?

What would it take?

Welcome to another episode of the Impossible Life Podcast.

I'm your co host, Nick Surface, and I'm looking across at a man who values three things Jesus, family, and a storehouse of AMMO.

That's right, friends, the former Garrett Unclebuck, a man who thinks in terms of the eternal and the zombie apocalypse at all times.

Hey, you know it's okay to have more than a few more more than a few bullets for your gun.

I did have somebody.

I did have somebody ask me though one time, like, do you have like hundreds of thousands of rounds?

I said, no, I only have about ten thousand rounds across various calibers.

Like most things, I've thought intentionally about it, and I said, I feel like that's enough that if I actually need this, I'll either be dead or I'll have more AMMO than how they ever need.

And they were looking at me like, well, what do you mean.

I was like, well, if that, if whatever comes to that, I'm probably going to have a lot of m O because other people have AMMO.

Aka, I'm going to take their AMMO in case you're not In the case you're not reading between the lines, I'm better trained and I'm a better shot under pressure than you, So you know, good luck.

Anyways, that was not the point of that intro, but it's also a little bit of truth.

Like we said all the time, all right, So today's a tool gee, today's shortcast tools and Tactics episode and you said something and we actually put a reel out on it a few weeks ago that I love.

And you were talking about high performance teams and like you've talked to the guys at Tesla that you work with now at Union, and also you were part of a in my opinion, the ultimate high performance team because you guys have done it across different leaders.

That's the Seal teams.

And you said people were disappointed because it's not like some secret sauce, like everybody in there has magical powers.

It's just a bunch of people who figure it out.

And that so I want to like launch into the figure it out.

I was having a com there was another There was another guy in the conversation who was a Seal who did over twenty years, very well respected in the community.

He's not on Union, but he's he works over at Bravo Victor with Joe, and we were kind of him and I were just kind of riffing on the same conversation of like, yeah, it's really just like a bunch of dudes who are relentless and make it happen.

Right, which is like, well, dang, it's because it's like there goes all the mad like if you could just learn this one, it's like Buds the Secrets to Budd's under this rock.

Well, a lot of people think like, well, I'm not responsible for being an NBA player because I'm only you know, six foot one, right, right, It's like if some it's it's like if someone showed you a mirror.

It's like, bro, you're seven foot six.

You've been thinking that you're not eligible, and actually you're extremely.

Eligible, right?

Or are there NBA players who are six foot one?

Yes, there are, They're not They're not common, but there's been guys that.

Are shorter than well, isn't isn't Steph like six three?

He's yeah, he's not tall.

I think he's like six three six, Like if he walked through the airport, wouldn't be like oh my gosh, Like you know, it's not like a Shack.

You know, Shack goes somewhere everybody knows because he's shoulders above everybody else.

But yeah, I mean even in our podcast, gee, it's like if I had to, what would it take?

And it's like I love that you wrote that before we started.

Like from there, there's some things that we got right, right, like, there's a lot that's changed.

Our intro, like we've talked about, has ever changed, And I don't know that it ever will.

No, I don't think we ever will.

But if it had to, what would it take?

That's the figured out mindset?

Right, It's like, Okay, here's what we're doing.

Oh, but I don't.

Oh, how are we going to?

What about?

What would it take?

Okay?

So that's the launching off point here, right, that's the figured out mindset.

And you said that it's like one of these things, like many things, it's like a muscle that you develop.

Yeah, So before we dive into it, because I want to give this away to people.

If you listen to this show, it means Nick and I care about you a lot, and this is one of the tools that I want you to have so badly because man, it just it makes it's the world is your oyster when you have this, this mindset and this mentality.

But I will say, the figure it out mindset, it's kind of you know, many of you are engaged in a thirty day discipline program right now, and just like discipline, discipline is not like you have it or you don't.

The question is how disciplined are you?

And the figured it out mindset?

It's not like you have it or you don't.

It's really just how much of it do you have?

And so some people have zero which is sad.

Some people have zero discipline, which is sad.

And what I want is to help you get some and then continue to attain more, like grow in it.

And so the figure it out mindset is something like discipline.

The first you need to possess it, like understand what it is.

Okay, Like this is a tool that I have.

And maybe I'm not like superstar David Goggins discipline guy, but I'm going to grow in my discipline.

And in the same way, I want you to get possession of this mindset, of the figure it out mindset and then begin to grow in it.

Yeah, and so like you said that stuff that feels slightly beyond you, right, because this is what will happen.

We all do this.

Something comes up and we kind of go it's very quickly.

We kind of do a an equation in our head.

Do I think I can do this?

Right?

And a lot of people won't do stuff that they think there's a chance they can fail at.

I would say because they have a fear of inadequacy because it's like it's hard to face failure for a lot of people because you have to if you're tied to if your identity is tied to whether you're successful or not, which most people's is, then this is like a real It's deeper than just like, oh man, there's something else I need to learn.

It's like you're not good enough and that will crush people.

So you can learn about this from watching other people.

You can also learn about it from watching yourself.

Okay, are there's a listener out there.

I'm talking to somebody when I say this, You're forty five years old, and you've had your own business for fifteen years, for fifteen years now, and you're about to start your next business, and you're thinking about it differently than you did when you were thirty years old and you thought like, wow, starting my own business, that's insane.

Right, once you've been down that road for a little while, it's not as hard as you thought it was.

Right, your measure of difficulty and really like your domain of problem solving has grown.

You now know how to do things you didn't know how to do before.

And so how I want you to think about developing your figured out mindset is you're going to be reaching for stuff that that feels like you're reaching over the fence for.

And that's okay, do that reach over the fence for it.

Like, you have your own limitations and I'm wanting you to reach beyond them.

I'm not trying to get you.

I'm not trying to put you in a can and launch you a million miles beyond.

You'll you know what your current capacity is.

But just keep reaching over the fence.

And every time you do, like your fence gets bigger, your territory expands, and now you have grown in your capacity.

Right, So that's what the figure out mindset's going to do for you.

And you just need to always be reaching over the fence.

But I promise you, like this is I'm just giving you some story and some thoughts that will help you understand.

It's like growth mindset that you can expand what you're capable of.

So just keep expanding it and never stop.

Right, the stuff that I'm doing today, I'm like a couple of years ago, we were doing this podcast a couple of years ago, and the way that a lot of you may think of me is probably the same from a couple of years ago to now.

But the way that I look at myself right now is like, man, I've grown a ton since a couple of years ago, and what I'm able to do, what I'm able to accomplish.

Yeah, no, I'd agree with that for people out there that are kind of like, Okay, what Carrot's saying is like, you can build belief off of what you've already done.

And this is what's so interesting.

I think a lot of times people do things that are like templates for how they could become like really pursued the greatness that God's put inside of them, but they're completely unaware because they've kind of they've they've just missed what's happened.

So to what Karrot's saying is like your capacity grows as you grow, and like we all experienced this.

If you've had more than one kid, remember that first kid, you're like.

Oh my gosh, like it's example.

It blows you away.

Then the second kid whenever they're like, oh you know they're they're callicky, You're like, ah, no problem, you know, like you've kind of been through that.

Oh you know, they're they're they're they're cluster feeding.

Just you know it's gonna be rough, but we'll get through it.

I mean, think about your first rent amount, Like for anybody out there, what you paid the first for your first rent check felt massive.

Now you'd probably kill to have that, Like you're like, what a thousand bucks?

I would do that any day.

And so we all have these things and you need to stop and go like you can either take one of two perspectives.

You can go like, oh, well, yeah, but that's inflation or I made a little bit more, or I'd be discouraged at how long it took.

Or you can go like, well, if I could do that kind of by default, what could I do intentionally?

Because when you start to apply this intentionally, it's like, we've got a fifty miler coming up g in March that we're going to do.

And I'm remembering the lesson from our first hunter miler that you can't disrespect it.

Mention where it is and what it is.

Just in case anybody wants to join us.

Yeah, I'd love to do that.

Gee, if I can.

Remember, it's in March, I don't remember the date, but it's the Decatur Grasslands fifty milers So Decatur, Texas fifty mile Run, if any of you would like to come join us, it's in March.

I don't remember the date, but there's only one grasslands.

It's only one.

There's only one Decatur Grasslands in March.

So if you would love, if you want to go, just sign up.

We'll see you there.

Yeah, and let us know that you're coming throughs a DM or an emailuse.

We would love to meet people there.

We've had people come join us before.

It's always fun, but like that fifty mile for some people, they might be like a fifty mile.

I'm kind of this is just a practical example.

The first one hundred mile when we got destroyed, we learned that you can't disrespect this thing.

So that lesson is still very fresh in my head, Like I'm starting to run now.

But the second but the second thing is I'm like, oh, it's only fifty because I think about thee hundred mile we did in twenty twenty at the end of twenty twenty three, and for the first fifty five miles we both felt amazing.

So I'm kind of going well, I said to Rien Yester.

I said, whether this is terrible or whether this is like as pleasant as that first fifty five miles, I'm good.

Like I'm just like okay, whatever, cause I'm like, it's only fifty miles.

And that's not to sound flippant, but I'm just using that as an example of its perspective of like, well, at least I don't have to go one hundred, you know what i mean.

I'm like, okay, we'll get this done.

Like I'm not gonna have to be up through the night.

This seems like a lot easier to me, whereas for some people, a fifty miles would be a mountain.

That's just impossible.

And so in each of our lives, we have things that as we grow, That's what Garrett was saying, as you as you grow, like the more stuff you solve and you figure out, the more you're gonna want to solve and figure stuff out.

Let's let's we've got three things that are necessary for this mindset and three things that will enable you.

Because this really is this is not like a here's the three step process.

It's like, let's piece together some of the elements and realize what's before us and like go forward.

I would say, it's it's faith, it's growth, mindset that like of like, yes, this is something that I want to grasp.

So first thing for the mindset g something.

Yeah, so a little bit yeah, yeah, we talk of this.

We're going to cover a few beliefs here, and beliefs is a huge part of mindset if you're with us and mindset Mastery, which if you want to grow, if you want more, if you want to develop your understanding, I would just encourage.

I'm not I'm not trying to oversell anybody, but if you want more than what you get out of the podcast, it is a great program for you to jump in with us and expand your capacity, expand your understanding of the things we talk about here in the podcast.

The podcast is excellent and free and it always will be because Nick want to help Nick and I want to help as many people as we possibly can.

But if you want to just go a little bit deeper and also get a chance to talk to us in interact with us, Mindset Mastery is a great place to do that.

Every topic we talk on in Mindset Mastery, the first thing we talk about with the topics is the beliefs.

And so here's some of the beliefs that you need for this figure it out mindset.

Here's the first belief believe Number one is the belief that it can be done.

This was in some of my own story you guys know it who've been around for a while.

When I was beginning to go into the Seal teams, I looked at a man, Sir Edmund Hillary, and I said, this dude climbed Mount Everest when no one even thought it could be done.

That's actually insane.

Okay, Seal training, Yes, it is known as the hardest military training in the world.

However, people do it every year.

It's very different than Edmund Hillary is saying, I'm going to climb Mount Everest.

We don't even know if it's possible.

I said, well, we know it's possible, and there's guys that do it every year.

I'm not going to focus on the people who don't do it.

I'm going to focus on Hey, they make a few hundred new Seals every year.

Why can't I be one of them?

Yeah?

Exactly right, you know I was.

I'm doing the Dialogue podcast with Josh Kraft, which if you haven't checked it out, check it out.

It's very different to what Garrett and I do, but I think people will enjoy it.

And we were talking about poverty, and if you know anything about my story, when I moved back here from England, I had a wife, a baby, some boxes, and a four figure savings and no job and we were living in my parents' house.

This was in my early thirties, so I was really crushing it at life.

I had no job and not a lot of money and the only thing so you go like, well, what would make you think to do that or that you could?

And he was asking me because I was talking to him about how broke I was at points in my life and how I know what it is to have it be so broke it hurts, And he said, well, what enabled you get out of that?

And I thought about for a second.

The simple thing was belief, and in this case, it was belief that when we got back to America that it was there was so much opportunity that if I just put myself and applied myself, that I could thrive.

And I was one hundred percent right.

And it's so necessary.

You talk about your dad having that, like being a great believer that problems can be solved, and how you witness that growing up And I've witnessed it whenever, like just something simple, like how quickly do we give up on something when we've like we're looking for something in the house, like oh, I don't know where that hat is or this sweater or this thing I needed for work, and you look for it for five minutes and you're like, oh what, you know it's maybe it's not here.

And I've watched you look for things and be like, it's here.

I know it's here.

And it's a whole different thing because if you know it's there, you don't stop that, and it's like a little thing that's a big thing.

Yeah, we have a great We don't have to go back and tell it.

We have a great story from the time we were hunting at rods and I told a guy who I needed to find something.

I said, do not question this.

It is there.

You must go and possess this thing.

Yeah it was.

I will always remember that because you so clearly said, hey, I need you to listen to me right.

Well, because he was questioning it.

He's like, I don't think it's here.

I'm like, no, I know it is there.

Yeah.

And I watched you, literally over a FaceTime call take all the belief that was in you and just like shove it across the interwebs into his brain.

And guess what, he went and found it.

Some guy had picked it up and thrown it in a trash bag because the ground screw was there.

They were looking for somebody's his hearing its Yeah that it was.

They left them somewhere for him to find them.

The ground screw found it first.

And if you would have been like, oh, they're not there, like some weird must have happened, those things would end up in a landfill somewhere.

As it was, we got them and they ended up back in Rod's ears.

Praise Lord.

All right, gee, So belief that it can be done is number one.

Okay, it can be done.

But now what because man, how am.

I go to do this?

Here's the second belief?

Right, And so we talked about and we'll jump back again here in a second talk about how to build this what we already mentioned some of that.

The second belief is the belief that I'll figure it out, or saying it differently, belief that the problem can change.

Okay, one of the great lessons I learned in the Sealed Teams.

I had a master chief say to me, And I was like, that that's the sauce right there.

I had a master chief say to me, all complicated problems are just a bunch of simple problems put together.

They were talking about close Quarter's clearance, because when you get into CQC, there's a there's a bunch of rules.

It really is kind of like the matrix in the show where like everything seems like so complex and then Neo like finally learns to see through it and sees the numbers behind, and it's like, oh, I have full mastery control of this situation.

You learn all of there's eisier.

You feel like, what is thousands of rules for CQC.

Well, if a person does this, you're supposed to do this.

If this a person does this, you're supposed to do this.

If the room has two doors and an open window, you do this.

If the room has two doors, one doors open and a closed window, Like it starts to feel really complex, right, and but when you go it all comes back to like when you first learn CQC, you go into a perfectly square room with one closed door in it and nothing else is in the room.

Master you must master that.

And when you master a few of the simple things.

Because as we start to progress, people start to like their head explode and the master schieps like, look, dudes, bring it back to the basics, right, Everything comes back to this like core set of seven or eight problems.

That's all you got to know.

And any other problem you face is just a it's just a mix of all these other simple problems that you do know how to solve.

And so once you learn how to take all those simple problems and put them in the right order, which is really the additional skill that it takes understanding which problem do I solve first?

When you put all those together, you look at the craziest problem, you say, I know exactly what to do.

And so it's the belief that I can figure out any problem that I can change the problem that all complicated problems is just a series of simple problems put together, and I know how to solve simple problems.

You know, man, You've got I feel like that's a whole podcast.

I'm gonna put that in the old ideas bank, in the proper that thought process of the problems that we solve repeatedly that end up coming together, Like for people that are going like Okay, that's great.

I've not done seek you see, which honestly I wish I could go do CQC just for what you just said.

I mean, maybe I'll never need it, but like I think the access.

I'll do some I'll do some some stuff with you.

But think about it this way.

Instead of like a CQC problem, think like, oh, well, like my my business is really struggling, right right, Well, you have you have a you have an individual relationship problem, you have a wrong person wrong seat problem, you have a financial problem, you have a responsibility problem, you have a customer acquisition problem.

All of these things are actually if it's just the one problem, you might know what to do.

But when they're you throw them all together.

This is what you see in junior amateur people as they're learning cqu see you throw them into this room with like two shooters, five five unknowns, which is basically think like an answer person, five unknowns, a couple open doors in overhead mezzanine, and they just freeze like I don't know what you do, right, That's what most people do with their problems.

But again, when you come back, it's like, hey, I know how to solve this problem.

I know how to solve this problem.

I don't know how to solve all these together.

But here's here's I can just cut off this piece of problem right now.

I know how to deal with that threat.

Yeah.

But what I love that you said is is because here's the thought process.

If you look at all those problems at once, like you said, it freezes you.

But when you solve one, the picture changes.

And so like the.

Example we get like imagine, imagine, like you you've got a bunch of things going wrong in your life and you're sleeping, like you're sleeping terribly and like so everything feels harder if you start to sleep better.

Shout out to sleep strips.

But seriously, that's why I have the idy life sleep strips as I'm put, because I know that most people are playing with like you know, they're trying to run a marathon on fifty percent juice, And it's like, if we could just get you to sleep better, your perception of everything changes.

So that's like a simple one if you solve that one problem.

You know, if you're a sports person, it's like your team's getting blown out by four touchdowns and you're like this is Hopeless'm gonna turn off and then there's a pick six, right, your defense intercepts the ball and runs it back for a touchdown.

Well what happens Now it's only three touchdowns, but you feel some momentum.

The problems changed.

So you went from this is hopeless, we can't do anything right to like, oh but may and we see this all the time play out in sports in like a couple hours, but over your life it's the same thing.

It's like, but I solved this one problem and now it looks different.

That's what we're saying.

That belief that you'll figure out is knowing that anything complicated as a series of simpler problems.

And so that's why it's so important.

What's the thing?

We could talk about this for forever number three.

That's why that's why I'm going to make it a separate podcast in the top, because I really I have a lot of thoughts on that.

Well, you know, I love talking about problems, and that's that's coaching for me.

I tell my coaching clients, hey, bring me your problems.

Let's talk about your problems.

But I also know your brain.

So this is like a preview for the episode that we're going to do Eventually, I know how to prompt your brain and use your classification skills to put this in a place that I think will be really powerful.

So that's why I'm excited to tackle that one.

Well, I'm looking forward to that as well.

Number three forgear it's free Garrett GPG.

So number one was a belief that it can be done.

Number two is a belief that you can figure out.

And number three is I'll say this kind of two different ways.

Is either a feeling of responsibility to solve the problem or relentless hunger to solve it.

You've got to look at this issue, this challenge that you're facing.

I was talking to Nick, how for me, when people have said like it can't be done, I don't feel like I want to prove that person wrong.

Here's the way that I feel about certain problems because I won't go into it so it would take too long.

But when you look at some of the dreams of my life, some of the things that I'm most pursuing, I want to prove something wrong.

But I'm not trying to prove a person wrong.

I feel like this problem that I'm after it is a dragon in the sense that this mindset that this way being, it's a blight on the whole world.

And so it feels morally wrong to me that people believe this certain thing is impossible, and I feel with everything in me that I must I must overcome this thing, because what I'm thinking is how many people out there are suffering because they believe this is true.

I know it's wrong, but I haven't proved it yet, And how how many people are suffering because they believe this is true.

I must do something about it.

And so maybe you're not going to feel that strongly about a problem, and not every problem has that level of significance to it either, But when you get a problem, you've got to feel like you've got to have some sense of ownership or responsibility about that problem that's driving you to solve it.

Otherwise when it gets hard, you'd be like, oh, well, it's not worth it.

You've got to have a level of care for the problem that you feel responsible, that you feel a stewardship for it, that you feel a reason to push past.

Because when when you try to do things like this, you'll come to moments where it's like, man, I really believed and I really tried and it's really not working, and so it's going to require some faith in some belief.

It's going to test your belief like do you really believe you're possible it's possible?

Do you really believe that you can solve the problem.

And if you don't have some care, you'll just say like, oh, well, got up there, slung as hard as I could, didn't hit, So I guess we'll go home.

Yeah, And that's it's important that you have the level of awareness to know what you actually care about, because we're not saying like you should manufacture care, but you should.

I feel like it's the more you know God and the closer you get to Him, you start to value what God values.

And that's the perspective that Garrett gave when he's talking about like, there's other people that need to slay this.

So those are the three beliefs.

Now here's what will enable you because we don't like we've kind of hinted at some of these already, h but like there, there's there's there's things you need to know to help stir this thought process.

And you touched on a g because you talked about how you know you know with your CQC example, is a great thing if you can start with this a basic room, you can build up from that.

What is that that's mastery of basics, right, and it's understanding the principles.

Well, yeah, that's so you see for as we you know, we've we've talked about the beliefs, like here's how you build this, but like here's how you let's last things here, right, here's how we want to enable you.

We want to help you train this mindset.

So here's three more things right now.

First thing that's going to enable you, that's going to develop you, that's going to train you, help you grow, and the figure it out mindset is a mastery of basics and learning principles.

Right, those two things really empower number one and two of what's necessary for this mindset.

The belief that it can be done and the belief that I'll figure it out when you master the basics.

Like, okay, think about it.

If you had made if all you'd ever done in basketball is just shoot free throws, and you had shot You've made a million free throws, You've done it for a long long time.

And if I took you to the opposite into the court and put you in the corner and said, like, you have to make a shot from here.

That would be very hard for you.

But you'd also be thinking, like, man, I've made a lot of shots, and this is just the same shot I've made before.

It's just further The basketball didn't change, the hoop didn't change.

Think about all the things that didn't change.

I'm just further away.

It's the same shot.

It's just a little bit harder.

And when you've mastered the basics, you really look at that, you understand all the things you already know and all the things that haven't actually changed.

If you're not if you're not a basketball superstar there like, man, like that shot, that SHOT's insane.

There's no way that you can make that.

We mentioned Steph Curry at the beginning.

Steph's a great example of that that I don't remember what it is, but I've heard it before on what his commitment to like he shoots baskets every single day.

Yeah, I remember the number, but I it's a ridiculous.

I sent it to me, Yeah, you sent it to me, and it was like he ends up shooting like six figures of three point shots every single year because he does I think it's something like he has like three hundred and fifty a day or something like that, or it might even be more than that, but you sent to me Tony Robbins covered recently.

Yeah, yeah, and that's why he can, you know, just do a pull up shot from half court and make four out.

Of five, right, yeah, And I mean that's any sport.

Sports are a great place where you see people break down the things that you're going to be doing repeatedly.

It'd be amazing if you applied that thought process to your life, Like what are you going to do repeatedly?

Well, you're going to wake up, you're going to go to work, you're going to look after your family, you're going to have to exercise, you're gonna have you know, Like, there's lots of things that are on repeat in our life.

But because we don't have like a scoreboard as such like you do in a sport, we don't realize it.

But those are those are all the little areas of mastery, Like how good are you at, you know, getting your kids ready?

How good are you at managing your time?

At scheduling your day?

Like these are things that I think people sail past all the time and It really is the basics that you can master.

I've talked about it before.

If you ever, like watch me get in my car, I get in the exact same way to do the exact same same things over and over again.

It's not just because I'm a weirdo, but it's because I've decided, like, what are these things that I do literally every day or sometimes multiple times a day, maybe I should be good at them and not just like throw throw time away all the time.

Right, also enables me to not forget things I have.

I have a specific routine that I don't have to think that I'm not spending energy thinking through what to do.

And so mastery and basics and learning the principles we kind of put these together.

And number one, they're not the they're not the same thing, but each one empowers the other when you master that.

Like learning the basics of seku See taught me of the principles, Like I didn't understand them in the beginning, but when they said, like learn enter this room, do it this way.

I'm just a basic square room with one door.

They were making me master the basics.

As I mastered the basics, then I discovered the principles.

Yeah, and I mean the number two is the most important one.

We put it number two just because it was the order that we were kind of laying things out.

Probably should have put his number one, but it's the power of God.

Like what we never want to be is to do it yourself podcasts like, that's just because the whole point is that your God is going to bring you to a place where you're either going to already know that you desperately need him or you're going to find out how desperately you need him, because AKA, you're going to get into a situation where there's no way you can do it on your own.

And we're very much good stewards.

We're very much like, give God something to work with.

God's sovereign, man's responsible.

Your responsibility is to develop yourself to the best of your abilities, to navigate principles, to seek God wholeheartedly, like to grow and be disciplined.

That's part of your responsibility.

And even with all that, you're still going to come to the place where you're like, Lord, I need your race, Lord, I need your wisdom, Holy Spirit, what do I do?

Holy?

Like, help help me guide me?

And one of my stories that I absolutely love.

Man.

It's the Five Loaves and two Fishes story of Jesus.

Right, they've been out, they've had these people all day, they've been teaching them, and then at the end of the day they go, hey, Jesus, probably send these people home.

They got a ways to walk and they're gonna eat.

And he goes, you feed them?

I'm sorry, what there's five thousand people here just in the men.

You want us to feed them?

Like, we don't even have enough money?

And where will we go?

Akay?

He just asked them to do something that's that's quote unquote impossible for them.

And what does he say?

What do you have?

AKA?

What's in your hand?

Oh?

Where we heard?

We've talked about this so many times.

Gee, Moses, you're going to lead these people out.

I can't do that.

I'm this, this, and this.

What's in your hand?

And that's the whole point.

So, yes, we want to develop what's in our hand to be be as prepared as possible, but it's never going to be the full answer.

And that's the whole point.

It's like Jesus is asked, is asking him to feed them, and then he's going to show them that it's only through his power that He's going to do that.

That's going to be your life.

You're going to have to, you know, do things in your family, people that are difficult, solve big problems for society and business, lead people in ministry that are utterly broken.

And it's going to be a point if you think you have to have all the answers, you'll never start.

You have to be at a place where you're like, you know what, I know that I'm going to figure this out, not by not by power, but by his spirit, says Lord, Okay, I'm going to do that because I'm walking step and hand in hand, step by step with the Lord every single day.

I know his leading.

And that's where you're going to see.

In my opinion, some of the greatest things I've seen I've in my own experience to you as a leader through Mighty Man, just the stuff we've done, some of the greatest change I've seen in people.

People are like, oh, remember you said that thing to him, and I will immediately go you know what I do.

Remember you know what I remember?

I remember that something in my spirit welled up and I spoke to them.

Not that was not that was not from my own storehouse of knowledge.

God put a word in me at the time that was so full of boldness that it was way beyond myself and it was the right time.

And so I've seen men that have lost, you know, one hundred pounds, have changed their lives because of a word in a conversation that we had, but it was not me, So that's really important.

And then last piece here, yes, right, So just wrapping up talked about here's the things you need for this mindset.

You need a belief that it can be done.

You need a belief that you can figure it out.

And you need some level of care, a responsibility, or a relentless hunger to solve a problem.

And then what will help you grow in developing this figured out mindset is mastering the BaseX basics and learning principles, understanding the power of God.

Right, God's sovereign, man's responsible, He's going to do my part.

He's going to do his part, and I just got to do my little, tiny part.

And then here's the last thing.

We already mentioned it, but just put it.

Giving you the list is draw inspiration from some people who have done what you want to do or have done similar things.

It would have been great for me if I had like my dad or an older brother who had become a Navy seal to give make that belief really easy for me.

I didn't have that.

I didn't know any before I went to training.

But I looked at Sredmond Hillary's life and I said, I need whatever that man's got on him.

However he was thinking about his problem.

I need to think that way about my problem.

So whether you have a direct relation or you just have someone out there it's like, you know, I want to be like that person.

Develop that in yourself.

Understand that that mindset is a mindset that you can take on, just like we're trying to give you this figured out mindset.

Decide for yourself that you want everything that God has for you, and you're going to take this mindset and go become everything He's created you to be.
