Welcome to Being Brilliant, the podcast that ignites your potential, fuels your passion and inspires bold action. I'm ch and walia and each episode dives into strategies, mindsets, and real life stories that help you break free from limits and step into your brilliance. Today's episode is get up and Run because life won't wait. It's about change. Change isn't coming, it's already here. You don't resist change, you resist leaving your comfort zones, and in that hesitation, life keeps moving forward while you stay still. But here's the truth, standing still is an illusion. If you're not growing, you're falling behind. In this episode, we'll break down why resisting change is really just resisting growth. How your mindset determines whether you thrive or stay stuck. The difference between existing and truly living. How you shift from fear to action. Starting right now, the real question is are you moving or are you waiting because life won't wait for you. Let's get started. 

(01:10)
No one resists change. You fool yourself by thinking that you have the power to, you're not God are you? You don't resist change. You just live in a certain comfort zone believing that you'll catch up anytime. But guess what? Very soon you won't have a vehicle left to reach the destination in time. Life will be over before you can and you'll play catch up for the rest of your life. Unless you realize that change is not a future event. Iters instantly and iters now, and you are the change. You see, let's say I was to give you a million dollars just like that because I'm in a good mood. Would you resist it? Of course not. And why not? It's going to change your life and people resist change, don't they? But you will not because no one resists change when it's good for them. 

(01:56)
They only fight it out because they imagine giving up comfort. You are constantly aging, minute by minute, day by day, ear by ear. This change is out of your control and its nature. Change is nature by resisting it or by not embracing it. You are going against nature and what are your odds of success now? Zero. When you resist change, small remains small, poor remains poor. Unhealthy remains unhealthy, unloved remains unloved, and we then think life is hard. Life isn't hard. You just stop traveling with time because you became static. You thought, oh, I'll do this later. Let me have another day of fun and one more, and soon it went beyond you and now you play the victim and say, if only I had more luck. Luck rhymes with another fall letter. Word and yes, it's called, oh fuck, you've fucked it up. Understand growth. 

(02:49)
My friend learned from nature, everything grows every single second and day and week and month and year. Everything grows and everything changes. If you are not growing today, you are fighting nature itself. If you're not learning more today, you are dying. If you're not getting better today, you are collapsing. If you're not finding more love today, you are perishing and if you're not finding more health today, you are aging. You are the growth, you are the change, you are the power, and you are the weakness. Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're the lion or the gazelle. When the sun comes up, you better be running. 

(03:44)
You don't stop running because you get old. You get old because you stop running. You don't stop running because you don't have good luck. You have bad luck because you stopped. You don't become poor because life didn't work out. You become poor because you held back from racing. You don't stop changing because you're not finding success. You're not finding success because you are giving up harsh truths, but truths. The problem with us is we want pleasure too soon. Why can't we embrace pain for a bit? Why can't we make friends with pain and then we'll never be alone? Growth and success is about action every single day regardless of the result, and no one is then the power to deny you the result because that's nature. Every single day, my friend, whatever you can do or dream you can. You must do it every single day because when you do, you experience progress. 

(04:39)
Yes, things may not have worked hard. You found a slump, you got cheated, you failed miserably. You were treated badly. Tell so what? You on the only one. It's everyone's story. What you feel today is an outcome to that event. It's a response to what happened. How long will you keep feeling it? Is there any sense in dragging that feeling to today when the issue or the event doesn't even exist, the event has passed, gone, done. Why do we keep living it? Why? By living it. You're living in the past, not resisting change, but letting life pass you. By then one day you will rise and be ready to awaken. But my friend, nature isn't stopping for you. It is widening the gap. Go now or forever. Sleep. One life, one. No more live. Don't exist. Choose will you remain a slave to destiny or take control of your future. 

(05:37)
Can't have a fulfilling career. Can't see the beauty in me. Can't live without being judged. Can't be financially free, can't live on my own terms, can't. It's time to bust the myths and discover yourself with a higher self-worth because you can rise from anywhere in the world to be the rockstar. You can find beauty within you and light up the entire world. You can be free even within the prison. You can change anything and you can live life to the fullest if you decide to do so. You don't have to live in doubt or feel lesser in any way. Why? Because you can. You will, and you just have to do it. It's in the head. People. You need to get out of your own way. All you have is energy, my friend. You can use that energy to keep running, to keep trying, to keep learning and to keep marching ahead, and you can also use that energy to sulk, brood. 

(06:32)
Play with Tim booze and watch Netflix. The first path of action makes you grow with nature. The second path of an action makes you anti-growth. And no, it's not about luck, it's about choices. You see, a river never passes the same place twice, says a philosopher and life is like a river, says another philosopher. The river is not just your river, it's shared it's same life in everyone. There is more than enough water so that when confronted with obstacles or depression, we have the necessary strength to move forward. The person who goes the farthest is the one who keeps healthy, learns to be afloat in different challenges and respect the laws of nature. The person who drowns the soonest was the one who thought he'll conquer nature. The river will keep flowing. You and I will not. So what was our purpose? To float it. 

(07:24)
All we ask our purpose was only to go as far as we can and show to others the path so that they can go further when needed. A purpose is never or was never to sit and enjoy the scenery. You are the inspiration. You are the song. You are the poet. You are the music of your life and it's your orchestra. Change is not to be resisted. Change is the flow of the river. Change is refinement, it is growth, it is movement, it is acquiring, it is upgrading, it is opportunity. A poet, Manuel Bandera wrote this to be like a river that flows silent through the night, not fearing the darkness and reflecting any stars high in the sky and living like that. River means your future in your head right now is all button assumption. It's a make-believe world because in reality, I really don't know, so why not? 

(08:19)
And think deep and hard about this. Why not make good assumptions? What do you have to lose? Good assumptions give you attitudes and belief to live with hope and conviction and hope is beautiful. It keeps you focused and doing your best, even in the worst of times to keep flowing. It's not about the results all the time. Sometimes it's just about being in the flow and being hopeful. When you talk abundance and discuss abundance, you attract abundance. Ask yourself, my friend, what would you really like to do and why aren't you doing that anyway? Believe your outlook on what can happen will on how you work. Faith in yourself and your circumstances will carry the day for you. Change will happen every single day, every moment. It's not about getting nervous about it, it's about getting excited with it. No matter what happens, the sun will come up tomorrow. If you are even a little bit smart, then you will be coming up too, because every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up, it knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed, and every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you're the lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you better be running.
