Accept No Limits

Wrote this one myself and put a lot of heart into it!

Watch here »

Script »

Imagine you’re 90 years old, sitting in your rocking chair, looking back at your life. Do you think you’ll have any regrets? If you continue living the way that you’re living right now, will you be truly fulfilled when it’s all over?

If the answer is no then ask yourself why? Why would anyone reject the calling to become what they believe they have the potential to be?

Because we limit ourselves in an effort to avoid fear, failure, uncertainty, stress, discomfort or any sort of pain we think we’ll experience. So we build this highly effective prevention machine designed to protect us from having to struggle.

Destroy this machine.

Destroy the part of yourself that’s stopping you from living the incredible life you’re capable of creating. The part that strives to prevent the possibility of being rejected, embarrassed or ignored. Feel the pain that is holding you back. Feel it making you stronger. Feel yourself coming back to life as you take the first step towards the future you want.

And when that voice in your head says your pursuit is far-fetched, too difficult, too risky, impossible. Tell it that it’s okay if you think it can’t be done just don’t distract me while I do it.

Don’t allow the prevention machine to trick you into believing that if you keep it running then life will be easy. It’s not easy to settle for less when you know you’re capable of more. To be bored out of your mind sitting at a desk waiting for the weekend to come. It’s not easy to retreat. To ignore the path you know you need to take.

Because when you limit yourself then you don’t feel like yourself. Just some watered down version. You become the result of abiding by every self-imposed limitation that presented itself.

Never give up on something you can’t go one day without thinking about.

We all go through that – not doing the thing we know we have to do and instead taking a safer path that has a reward visible at the end. But that’s not your path. Yours is the crazy looking trail on the edge of a cliff with giant gaps and no end in sight.

Go there.

Go where you have less comfort and security but more passion and possibility. Embrace the struggle. Welcome uncertainty. And the more vulnerable you feel, the weaker the machine becomes until it breaks down completely.

There’s a certain freedom in that. The kind that comes from knowing that whatever force tries to stop you has no chance. Knowing that you’re giving life everything you have. Knowing that you're becoming all that you could be. You’ll wake up excited everyday with one mission – break walls and build bridges towards the most enlivening pursuit you can dream up.

Aren’t you tired of wondering what you’re truly capable of? Find out.

And when you’re 90 years old, sitting in your rocking chair looking back at your life, you’ll be fully satisfied. Truly fulfilled. You’ll be proud of the person you’ve become.

Actualize / Phase 7

Each phase has optimized our performance, alignment and mind-state so that we can now become a version of ourselves more capable than we ever imagined. Fully awake and connected with the pursuit that is most important to our souls evolution; we start to progress exponentially.  

We wake up excited everyday, willing to dive into chaos to actualize any undertaking. When resistance pops up, it no longer has the power to guide our actions. We’ve perfected a system that dismantles our cognitive traps and excuses. 

Immersed in the successes, failures, pleasures, and struggles of the path – we reach a new kind of fulfillment. One that comes from knowing we’re giving life everything we have, we’re becoming all that we could be and whatever force tries to stop us has no chance.

Align / Phase 6

If a ships compass is off by just one degree then it will eventually find itself hundreds of miles off course. After experiencing the thrill of progress, it’s easy for the priority to become maintaining it as opposed to steering it. To avoid getting lost in ambition, we continually re-adjust our aim towards our ever-changing aspirations. 

We can see if our trajectory is off only in moments of peace so we sharpen the indispensable skill of maintaining balance. By carving out time to stop all the doing and focus on being, we remember why we’re on this pursuit in the first place. Re-energized and oriented, we’re able to apply what we’ve learned to redesign our map.

align.png

Pursue Relentlessly / Phase 5

In this phase, the meaning of life is to break walls and build bridges towards the most enlivening pursuit we can dream up. We unleash every ounce of grit we have to keep climbing no matter what. 

Even though everyday is supercharged with purpose, it’s also filled with struggles. It’s easy to welcome in those limiting thought patterns that want to guide us back to the ease of mediocrity. 

Dare to believe that something inside of you is superior to circumstances. This outlook turns seemingly hopeless situations into enjoyable challenges. Our resilience comes from viewing problems as puzzles, failures as lessons and adversity as a catalyst for growth.

Unbound Class Is Here!

The Escape Mediocrity guide is finally finished and available here.

The course was born from this question » Why would anyone reject the calling to become what they believe they have the potential to be?  

I believe it’s because the limitations we set for ourselves are there to protect us from having to feel fear, stress, anxiety, disappointment, discomfort or any sort of undesirable emotion.

This course offers practical exercises on letting this need fade. Embracing the struggle, welcoming uncertainty and refusing to let the possibility of failure be a deterrent.

Aim True / Phase 4

As we clearly define our worthy pursuit, we include plenty of these three essential ingredients – meaning, challenge, and vulnerability. Accessing more of our potential requires taking on a mission we care about deeply. Meaning is the wind beneath our wings, propelling us to new heights. But the more we care, the more our insecurities and worries get magnified. 

Not feeling any resistance is a clear indication that we’re aiming too low. Just like in the dragon protecting the gold fairytales – what we want most is where we’re most afraid to go. We turn this fear into fuel by viewing it as reassurance that our pursuit is worthy. 

Once the target is chosen, we make a commitment to spend everyday giving all that we have to move closer to it. We become willing to stand face to face with the dragon and strive to prevail.

Rewire / Phase 3

The 3rd phase on the path towards living unbound is all about uncovering truth and questioning everything.  

Our brains have well worn neural pathways where limiting thoughts and beliefs flow naturally. The result is paralyzing doubts, irrational fears and an inability to take action. We start to reclaim control by observing these cognitive traps without judgment from a birds eye view. This awareness can feel like turning on the lights to a messy room. We create order by running every non-serving thought through a lie detector test. 

We ask ourselves these three questions » Is it true? How am I affected when I believe it’s true and who would I be without it? What empowering thought can I replace it with? 

This is the process of neuroplasticity – reshaping pathways in our brain by whacking our way through the tough terrain so that the next time we pass through, it’ll be a little easier. With every repetition, we reinforce the new path until it becomes automatic. The result is a state of mind that transcends the deceptive stories of our thinking.

Check out the 2nd phase if you missed it last week. I just came across this song by Birdtalker and think the chorus really embodies what I mean by RELEASE & EXPLORE. I’m thinking of doing a longer more elaborate video using this song. What do you think? 

Thanks for reading, watching, sharing and being awesome :)

Release & Explore / Phase 2

I broke down the path to living unbound into 7 phases and last week I described the 1st phase, ESCAPE MEDIOCRITY. The 2nd phase RELEASE & EXPLORE is a time to detach in order to fully understand your intrinsic nature and strip away anything that’s not essential.

Let your intuition take the wheel for a while, embracing the uncertainty of new adventures. Release the part of yourself that’s been shaped by cultural demands and social conditioning – letting go of what feels heavy and grabbing a hold of what feels right.

Unanchored to rules, routines and convention – you gain the ability to see through a deeper, more conscious part of yourself. This perception disempowers the fear-based tendency to abandon values and trade our aspirations for comfort.

Exploring awakens the essence of who we are, reveals what’s most important to us and reminds us why we must pursue it now.

Escape Mediocrity / Phase 1

,

For the past 10 years I’ve strived to break free of many different types of resistance and self-imposed limitations. At times I’ve succeeded - I’ve spoken at TEDx, I’ve worked on emmy award winning TV shows and I did the most overwhelming, fear facing thing imaginable to myself – pour my heart out and share personal struggles through Live Unbound. 

Whether it’s from my own experience, studying high achievers, dozens of books, events or retreats, I’ve learned so much about this process. I’ve condensed it down to 7 phases which guide the path of finding, navigating and accomplishing worthy pursuits. 

The phases are on the left column and I included the dominant habit, priority, emotion and outcome of each phase. Of course it’s different for everyone, this was based off of my own experience. 

Try to identify where you are, where you have been and where you want to go. 

The first phase is about escaping the limited perspective that mediocrity fosters.

Mediocrity is the result of rejecting the calling to become what we believe we have the potential to be. Striving to fit into a mold as opposed to breaking it. Abiding by it’s walls made of doubts, fears and insecurities – held together by a need to protect ourselves from having to feel these emotions.

This is a time to rise above the walls to a vantage point which reveals the mountains we were meant to climb. To get a glimpse of a future that lies beyond resistance. A place with endless possibilities, true freedom and absolute fulfillment.

Life is ours to design and it’s our one and only. Those that respect this truth by clawing towards their carefully chosen peaks are rewarded with something far greater than comfort. 

I’m currently developing a course with practical tools on how to achieve this. If you’re interested in getting it for free in exchange for a testimonial then contact me. 

I’m posting daily on instagram, facebook and if you missed last weeks video you can watch it here. Thanks for reading!

Live Unbound is Back!

,

Just relaunched Live Unbound after spending a couple years working on TV shows and doing some aimless traveling.  

I decided it’s time to dive back into the work that I love the most. Just finished the 8th video for a series of one minute videos made from speeches that had a big impact on my life.

Here’s the first one and I’ll be releasing a new one every week. 

I’ll be posting regularly on Instagram @weliveunbound & Facebook facebook.com/liveunbound

If you have suggestions for speeches, quotes or any insights that have inspired you then just reply to this email or contact me here. Or if you just want to say hi and chat then that’s cool too :)

The Empty Space

I recently went on a road trip through New Zealand and as incredible as it was, I found it hard to do “nothing” without feeling guilty – just travel for the sake of traveling. Without making a film or writing or progressing in any sort of way.

I struggle with letting go of the need to constantly improve. But doing nothing is not irresponsible or even counterproductive, it’s essential for perspective – seeing if all this progress is taking you in the right direction.  

I wrote this after the trip »

I’m stuck. Stuck in progress, ambition, achievements, relentless perpetual growth.

As if it doesn’t matter where I’m going as long as I’m shooting for the moon but we all know what happens when you install that update too soon. What do I do when I can’t stop running and last year’s dreams came true and mean nothing?

Realize that the stories you tell yourself about what you should strive for, what you’re capable of and what you need, are fabricated. To avoid the vulnerability of living in truth, they deflate it. Compelling lies told to replace it. Using so much of your vitality to justify why you’re not doing what you know you must do.

I’ll do it next year, it’s in queue. Or I don’t have what it takes to break through, don’t bite off more than you can chew. It takes a lot of effort to convince myself it’s true.

I grew up on just do it, impossible is nothing, you only live once, be all you can be and I listened. Conditioned for progress, never fearing it. But the priority became maintaining it as opposed to steering it.  

You’ll need to shift an ideology that’s deeply implanted. Progress isn’t linear, it’s an assembly. To put it together, first, be empty. Hit the delete button on everything. Create a space where only truth is allowed to cultivate. Lie detect every thought, belief and insight through a security gate.

In this space, let go of what feels heavy and grab a hold of what feels right. Unanchored by rules, schedules and convention. Be light. Open, patient, content. No to-do lists. No intent.

But I feel guilty when I do nothing. Like it’s counterproductive, even irresponsible, like I’m avoiding something.  

You’re a product of the “doer” culture that doesn’t welcome the in-between space. It wants you to leap from one goal to the next in a never ending chase.  It’s debilitating, disorienting, intangible. While the clarity that comes from surrendering to emptiness is invaluable. You’re not falling short of anything.

Dive into whatever’s inviting. In this space, exploration isn’t limited to what makes sense but whatever feels exciting.  

I’ve been here before but felt reluctant. Despite how enjoyable it can be, I never embraced it without judgment.

Expect resistance when allowing time to incubate. If you tear open a cocoon to free a butterfly, you’ll ruined the process that forms its wings. Don’t ask how long this is going to take. Or what aligning with truth will awake.   

Just know that a new future is taking root. A map is being designed. Simple and resolute. Renewing. Slowly expanding. In the emptiness, something is brewing.

Mountain Therapy

I’m standing on top of Ijen Volcano in Indonesia hoping that this surreal, pandora-like landscape will not only make me look cool on Instagram but also give me some sort of clarity.

Photo » @whereisyali

So I’m staring at the sun come up thinking, I would now like an answer to the question that is often in the forefront of my mind please. The question is a simple one – what future do I want to create for myself?

But when you’ve lost touch of yourself in a sea of open tabs and lucrative detours then the answer is not that simple.

As the clouds clear to reveal the turquoise lake below, any sort of insight is smothered by the need to capture this moment and… well… look cool on Instagram.

But there’s another reason why I’m not getting the inspiration I came for. It’s because this place was too easy to get to (well not that easy, a 3 hour night hike through the jungle) and if there’s anything I know well it’s that struggle creates meaning.

For example, when flying many people prefer the aisle seat even though the view from an airplane window can be incredibly beautiful at times. But let’s say they hiked five days for that view. Then it all of a sudden becomes the most wonderful thing they’ve ever seen.

So I know what I need – a real adventure.

I’ve been editing Reality TV the last four months, I’m so freaking hungry for it. And it’s all good because I’m about to get it in the form of a four day trek to the summit of Mt. Rinjani, Lombok. 

Photo » @trekkingrinjani

What you’re looking at is Lake Segara Anak (child of the sea), a 4.4 square mile lake inside the crater of a 12,200 ft (3700 m) Volcano. And yes, that’s another Volcano in the middle of the lake. Really? Yes, really.

Just a quick break down of the mission:

Day 1:

7:00 am hike 7 hours to the top of the crater / 8 miles (13 km) / 5000 ft (1525 m) elevation gain  

Day 2:

2:00 am hike 4 hours to the summit for sunrise / 4 miles (6.5 km) / 3600 ft (1,100 m) elevation gain

8:00 am hike 5 hours to the bottom of the lake / 7 miles (11 km) / 5600 ft (1700 m) elevation drop

Day 3:

9:00 am hike 3 hours to a different spot on top of the crater / 3 miles (4.8 km) / 2000 ft (610 m) elevation gain

1:00 pm hike 2 hours towards the base of the mountain / 2.5 miles (4 km) / 1000 ft (305 m) elevation drop

Day 4:

9:00 am hike 2 hours to the base of the mountain / 2.5 miles (4 km) / 1000 ft (305 m) elevation drop

I can’t wait!

I thought Mt. Bromo in Java would be a nice warm up but I’m quickly learning that it’s a bit of a tourist trap.

Photo » @whereisyali

The problem isn’t so much that people are asking me to take their photos (thanks selfie sticks), it’s that they want me in the photos. I’m a nice guy of course so I agree but I’m plotting out an escape plan.

I see a narrow path alongside the edge of the crater and without any hesitation, I head in that direction. There’s no one there except a German couple who tell me to be very careful if I attempt to walk all the way around the crater.

Photo » @whereisyali

An hour later I understand what they’re talking about.

The path is uncomfortably narrow and one side is a 60 degree slope ending in what I thought was lava but it’s just boring old sulfur. Either way I wanted an adventure and I’m definitely getting one.

Photo » @whereisyali

But the experience isn’t really the moment of clarity I was hoping for. Too much focus on keeping myself in the manageable risk zone and not going too far. I mean what’s up with the ground here?? It pretty much falls apart when you step on it. I have no idea what I’m doing in Volcano land. I need a guide.

It’s 5:30 am when Hamdi, the Reza Trekkers Rinjani guide knocks on my door yelling, “Are you ready for this?” Still half asleep and not really sure what’s happening I instinctively respond, “Hell ya I’m ready!” Then I realize I’m not ready at all and I’m late.

Three hours of intense hiking in and out of clouds later, I’m noticing that the porters are zooming past me. Which is pretty impressive considering that they’re barefoot and carrying 85 pounds (39 kg) of supplies.

Photo » @whereisyali

For real, I’m a bit baffled by this especially because some parts of the trail are borderline rock climbing. Hamdi tells me that he used to be a porter and on the first day of the job he cried. I think he was joking but maybe not.

He says they wear flip flops and sometimes hike barefoot because shoes are too heavy. Hmm… interesting. After my third fall of the day on the crumbling volcanic rock, I asked Hamdi if they ever slip. He gets all serious and looks at me straight in the eyes saying, “No, porters never fall.”

On hour five I'm covered in sweat, my legs are shaking and I start to wonder, “Why am I doing this?!” Then I turn the corner for a new incredible view.

Photo » @whereisyali

Oh ya, that’s why.

I don’t want to make it seem like this is some superhuman trek. Actually anyone fit can do this. But I will say that some parts are pretty grueling or what one local called Indonesian torture.

We finally make it to the crater rim where Alto, our porter, hands me a plate of fried bananas covered in chocolate and cheese.

As I take a bite out of this unexpectedly delicious Indonesian delicacy, I feel connected to my six year old self who insisted on putting chocolate spread on top of every meal.

Photo » @whereisyali

The clouds clear just in time to reveal a sunset so magical that I forget all about the mental struggle I had to endure to get there.

Photo » @whereisyali

I pass out for a couple hours before my alarm goes off at 1:30 am for one of those, where the hell am I, wake up moments. I unzip the tent to see countless stars not only above my head but also straight in front of me. I remember that I’m 8000 ft high on the edge of a Volcano crater in Indonesia.

Awesome!  

I strap on my trusty Forsake kicks and follow Hamdi into the darkness.

Three hours of zombie-like hiking later we reach the final mile which is an extremely steep, sand-like dirt ridge, 12,000 ft above normal, breathable air.

There’s that thought again – “Why!?”

But as painful as this is, I feel like some force has me hooked and is slowly reeling me up towards the peak.

Every couple of steps I look up at the Milky Way which is as visible as one of those long exposure photographs. I do a 360 while staring up at the sky, desperately trying to take it all in. I do this often while traveling – frantically scan the landscape as if I’m trying to catch a last glimpse before it disappears.

Then I realize that everything around me isn’t going anywhere and it’s me who will be disappearing. Hopefully after a long life but just in case it doesn’t work out that way, I’ll go happy because of experiences like this.

I’m actually thankful for this unsettling notion that there’s an end creeping up in the horizon. After all it’s this awareness that’s pulling me up the mountain.

It fuels this wild, one way ticket lifestyle of world and potential exploration. It reminds me to choose experiences over possessions, failure over regret and uncertainty over comfort.

In the exact moment the sun shows it’s first spec of light, we reach the summit. The Pyramid shaped shadow of Rinjani in the horizon stands next to Mt. Batur in Bali and the Gili Islands.

Photo » @whereisyali

The sunrise is over way too fast just like my 20s and it’s already time to begin the long journey down to the crater lake. I take the first step without having to ask myself, “Why?!”

Did someone slip a molly in my cheese banana? Because I’m feeling way too giddy right now considering it’s a five hour journey, 5600 ft down. And wait, is that a monkey??

Photo » @whereisyali

We descend further and further into an enchanted fairyland that I thought only existed in Disney movies.

Photo » @whereisyali

On the other side of that grass hill, I'm surprised to see a waterfall with hot spring pools on the bottom. Hamdi, that sneaky man, didn’t even tell me where he was taking me. I take a full shower with shampoo and soap under the waterfall. Whatever, I like to be clean, don’t judge!

We walk to a secluded spot on the lake where Alto has already set up the tents and is now fishing for our dinner.

Photo » @whereisyali

The clouds are covering the Volcano but Hamdi tells me that it’s about 500 ft (150 m) away. He says that a year ago he was at this spot when it erupted.

Photo » @hamditrekker

He couldn’t hike out because there was too much ash so overnight he got the lava show of a lifetime. I told him I wish I could have seen that and he said, “No you don’t. I cried.” Joking again? I’m really not sure.

As the sun sets we have Ikan Goreng (deep fried crispy fish) for dinner which tastes even better than the fancy Bali food I had a week earlier.

At 7 am I unzip my tent to see that the clouds have cleared and the Volcano is right in front of my face. Hamdi hands me a cup of Lombok coffee, I put on some Bon Iver and sink into some sort of trance-like euphoria.

Photo » @whereisyali

My mind clears. As if a massive delete button was hit on all the unworthy thoughts that dominate my thinking. In this emptiness, something is brewing. Slowly expanding into what I came here for – answers!

For the past couple years I’ve been on a mission to catch up to this 2.0 version of myself that creates the incredible work I know I’m capable of. I know because I’ve caught him before and he elevated me to new heights in record time. Giving me a taste of success and then disappearing.  

But in this moment, I can feel him here. I get hit with a flood of ideas for creative pursuits and an unshakable belief in my ability to see them through. I pull out my journal and try to write them all down. 

This leads to an important realization. In order to align with this higher self, I have to stop chasing and instead create an environment where he’d want to live.

I think of it as having a good signal. Four bars means that my mind is fully open to possibilities, I work in a peak state with maximum enjoyment. One bar means I’m going to need a lot of coffee just to produce something that I don’t really care about and I doubt anyone else will.

For example, I know that adventures which push me physically and mentally give a certain energy that running on a treadmill in LA fitness just doesn’t create.

As I write down other conditions that could trigger a good signal, I feel an urge to shut my brain down and go for a morning swim in the lake.

After all, I’m not chasing anything right now. I feel content. I’ve arrived somewhere.

Photo » @whereisyali

After spending some quality time with Lake Segara Anak, we hike up to the top of the crater and then down into the jungle.

I follow Alto on a detour to find a water pipe so we can refill our bottles. We finally find a thin pipe that runs for miles from a river up top to a small village below where it provides clean water for one hundred houses.

He detaches the tube to fill up the bottles and before attaching it back, I take another shower. I make a bold decision to not use shampoo today. Crazy I know but what can I say, I’m living on the edge.

Surrounded by curious monkeys, we set up the tents then have ramen for dinner. I go inside to relax but accidentally doze off and sleep like a baby until the morning.

We wake up early and complete the trek with an easy two hour hike down to the base of the mountain. I say goodbye to Alto and Hamdi who are still making fun of my ridiculous shower needs.

Feeling accomplished, I make my way to the south of Lombok where I can do nothing on the beach for a couple days.

Photo » @whereisyali

If any part of you is intrigued by doing a trek like this then you should absolutely book a ticket right now. Just be careful because if you’re anything like me, your automatic excuse generator might kick in saying things like – I’m not fit enough, too old, can’t sleep in tents, scared of heights, not now maybe next year… etc. etc.

If this happens, try telling this voice, “Sorry buddy. I’m gonna go ahead and do this one anyways.” It’ll make one more desperate attempt to stop you, “Wait! What about altitude sickness??” Just hit him with a calm, cool, “Nope. Sorry.”

Why? Because sometimes it feels like you become as tall as the mountains you choose to climb.

P.S. Whenever life's craziness causes anxiety, I just think of the Rinjani porters and I feel okay again. I used to think of my greatest accomplishments but this works much better.

LU Movie Script

Just finished writing a script which you could definitely say is the Live Unbound movie. If you’re interested in reading it then you can download it here. Feel free to send it to anyone. I’m looking for input and who better to ask then fellow Live Unbounders!  

It’s a story about the importance of uncertainty, vulnerability and challenge in life’s pursuits and the dissatisfaction that occurs when they’re avoided.

It's inspired by this excerpt of “The Dream of Life” by Alan Watts.

“Let’s suppose that you were able every night to dream any dream you wanted to dream. And you would naturally, as you began on this adventure of dreams, fulfill all your wishes. You would have every kind of pleasure during your sleep. And you would say 'Well that was pretty great!' But now let’s have a surprise, let’s have a dream which isn’t under control, where something is going to happen to me and I don’t know what it's going to be. You would dig that and come out saying, ‘Wow that was a close shave, wasn’t it?’ Then you would get more and more adventurous and you would make further and further gambles what you would dream. And finally, you would dream where you are now. You would dream the dream of living the life that you are actually living today. That would be within the infinite multiplicity of choices you would have.”
