Check out Episode 148 for more on Seth: http://www.timjpcollins.com/podcast/longcut

In this particular episode you will learn:

- Engage with the people you seek to change

- Would they miss you if you didn't show up tomorrow

- Getting people's attention is a privilege

- Don't water down your message because the masses don't care anyway

- Not caring is a choice

- "You have the ability to do anything but not the assurance you're capable"

4 Key Points

1 - You exist to make change happen

2 - Who are you trying to change (not everyone as they don't care)

3 - Why will they pay attention and trust you

4 - Why will they tell their friends

- Reassurance is futile because there is never enough of it

- Don't shop for a method, show for commitment

- If you're not committed all the tactics in the world won't help

The quote from Seth's book at the end:

Dance with fear, dance with done, dance with the resistance, dance with each other, dance with art.

In this particular episode you will learn:

- What is fresh courage?

- What is the difference between empathy and compassion

Compassion is made up of:

- The willingness to be aware of what's going on and that what's going on includes suffering

- A desire to relieve it

Empathy is made up of:

- Matching your emotions to someone else's

- Imaging how you would respond in someone else's circumstances

Empathy has 5 problems:

1) Occurs on a continuum from contempt to pity

2) Places attention on the listener

3) Creates vicarious trauma

4) Leads to attempts to lead or control

5) Focuses on the story rather than capacity

Skills for compassion

- Spaciousness

- Honouring

- Humility

- Reflection

- Resonance

- "Do not be gooder than you are"

- How we can deal with toxic people

Summary: 

In this episode I talk about how by acting like we're never going to leave, we can really engage. This can allow us to really see what's possible in our lives and begin playing full out now.
