Warrior On Fire

In today's episode Garrett is on yet another day of using the float tank and encountered a woman throwing a whiny temper tantrum about her experience, which he calls a whantrum: an adult woman throwing a whiny fit. This triggered within him the times that he's had his own mantrums, making him realize that we become so used to having things done for us that we expect more than what we pay for only to throw a huge fit when reality slaps us in the face.      _______________________________ You are listening to the Warrior On Fire, Daily Fuel podcast with your host, Garrett J White.

In today's episode Garrett has taken up a new addiction by using float tanks, but also found a way to self-sabotage an experience that's meant to bring ultimate relaxation. He farted in the pod, creating a covered wagon experience of smelling his own stench that took away from the relaxation he was supposed to be having at the time. This made him realize that like every well-meaning intention that we have in life, as humans there's inevitably a time in which we fuck the situation up, despite what our initial desire was.      _______________________________ You are listening to the Warrior On Fire, Daily Fuel podcast with your host, Garrett J White.

We all get slapped with the old stick eventually, and such was the case for Garrett in today's Daily Fuel when he observed a few old people around him realizing that he's going to be one as well. In fact, he's not as young as he used to be and there are certain things in his life that he  no longer feels he has to prove to himself anymore, so now life is about longevity and enjoying what experiences come his way.      _______________________________ You are listening to the Warrior On Fire, Daily Fuel podcast with your host, Garrett J White.

In today's episode Garrett likens surf sessions and floating tanks as experiences that bring about different results in his life after shaking things up and trying reps upon reps with new tactics for him to create better changes.     _______________________________ You are listening to the Warrior On Fire, Daily Fuel podcast with your host, Garrett J White.

In today's episode, a run-in at the gas station with a DUI driver and completely lit passenger served as a reminder that even when we want to help others, sometimes all they want to do is to tell us to fuck off.      _______________________________ You are listening to the Warrior On Fire, Daily Fuel podcast with your host, Garrett J White.

From nose trimmers to what looked like spray paint on a man's head, HAIR is the topic that was discussed in today's Daily Fuel, particularly a man's hair. Garrett has always had a full head of hair, so it's hard for him to grasp the struggle that other men have in salvaging the remaining hair that they have instead of just shaving it off, but it all comes down to understanding the context behind the actions of a person instead of quickly passing judgment on their decisions.       _______________________________ You are listening to the Warrior On Fire, Daily Fuel podcast with your host, Garrett J White.

In today's episode Garrett realizes that the experience and knowledge that he had in learning one surfing technique doesn't always work in other areas, especially when using a different board. Across our world, there are techniques and experiences that once worked of us in the past that will no longer bring us results toward expansion until we're willing to look at making a different approach with it.      _______________________________ You are listening to the Warrior On Fire, Daily Fuel podcast with your host, Garrett J White.

A wave had its way with me during this morning's surf session, tossing me around like a rag doll that results in breaking my board in half, all because I hesitated for a moment and rode into the wave a few feet beyond the point that would have brought a smooth ride. This experience taught me a lot about my role as a father, in which I have waves of experiences with my children, but where I time my input will either make or break the perception that my children will have in their lives. The same wave that would have given me power, courage and joy is the same power that broke me. Similarly, when I become unaware of the timing my power as a father with children under my stewardship, I've realized that I the struggles that occur with our relationship comes down to guiding my children from a place of power that will break them instead of make them strong, powerful people of their own.      _______________________________ You are listening to the Warrior On Fire, Daily Fuel podcast with your host, Garrett J White.

Life is easy to get started. I had the beginning of this morning start out fantastic as my oldest daughter woke herself up early and has been helping her younger sister out as well, knowing that she needs extra time in the morning to become productive. I also started my morning surf session off great, but the massive swells that have been hitting the beach were out of reach, resulting in more somersaults and cartwheels than surfing on very many waves. I got home, only to discover that the quick start from the morning had turned into an absolute shit show instead. And that's often how life is: we start fast only to finish weak. If you've ever taken the Kolbe A Index, I am a #10 in Quick Start, meaning that I'm all about starting shit up fast, but we don't really get a whole lot of points in life for starting shit up fast only to have it fizzle out and die soon after. It requires steadfast commitment to see that which we desire through. There's no secret formula.      _______________________________ You are lis

I am often told that I need to slow down in my life, but the frank fact of the matter is that the reality is, if you want to play in my game, you better speed up so you can keep up. Not being willing to slow down is how expansion occurs within my life, and something that I expect from any hot hose that choose to roll with me in the way I live my life. I'm not going to slow down so that others feel comfortable being around me. I will not apologize for the commitment that I have to bring about the financial prosperity that I have created in my life. I am well aware that in many areas of my life, I am still a small goldfish looking to keep up with Great White Sharks, but I would never ask those sharks to slow down so that I can keep up with them. Instead, I ask myself, "Who do I have to become in order to keep up with the big fish in the sea?" I have to learn how to keep up with them, and expect no less from those that operate around me.     _______________________________ You are listening to the Warrior On Fir

A little known fact by many is that my wife has extremely strong toes. She accompanied me on today's podcast and admitted that the reason for this is most likely due to laziness on her part. She'd be asked to pick something up, and she found that by lifting it up with her toes (which are slightly webbed, by the way....also a little known fact) she didn't have to expel as much energy to get shit done. I also share something about my own toes in today's Daily Fuel by learning a new technique while surfing (come on, you have to admit that you're not one bit surprised that surfing is behind my insight today), and that by pushing off the ledge of my board while working on my duck dive I was able to have a significant improvement diving into the waves. Through laziness, some of our greatest skills are exposed. Putting into practice that which is theory creates a whole new experience that also takes away the fear factor in order to gain a new outcome due to new perspectives. For my wife, her laziness in picking shit

I enjoyed Cabo over the weekend with my wife, learning all about reform waves that I hit with an Australian buddy of mine that we met up with during our trip. I learned that when it comes to reform waves, I have to do the opposite in order to catch a wave on my board, going straight down the wave doing reps. Regardless of what new area it is within our lives, new environments require new knowledge. If you're not in a new environment that requires new knowledge, I'm going to have you consider that you're dying, because you're not allowing yourself to grow. For me, that equals death. I would rather go into a new environment and suck at it because I'm starting out as a rookie (we are all rookies when we first start out). There are new problems  and lessons to be learned, regardless of how much knowledge we had beforehand, and the only way we can accomplish growth is in taking the time to learn. Every day, if we suck less than we did the day before, we know we're truly living.      _______________________________

While out surfing with Coach Mo, he told me that it's better to be on the next big wave and have it all to myself than to be on the best wave and fight 20-25 others guys for it. As with everything in my life, surfing has taught me a great life lesson about learning how to calm down when shit doesn't go my way. I was missing one wave after another, getting angrier and angrier at the waves, which then made my technique completely fall apart and I got worse and worse. So, I sat on my board and for 5 minutes, focused on calming down my breath, out there in the ocean. The more calm I got, the more power I had on the waves when I went back to finish out my surf session. Sometimes the greatest strength we can show is by learning how to calm the fuck down.      _______________________________ You are listening to the Warrior On Fire, Daily Fuel podcast with your host, Garrett J White.

I could feel a bit of a head cold coming on, but that doesn't mean that I slow down in what I expect to produce each day. I don't slow down, regardless of whether or not obstacles such as sickness are thrown at me, like the snot in the back of my throat. This is an example of the resistance that gets in our way that prevents us from getting what we need to get done. I'm going to have you consider that the individuals that succeed in life despite setbacks are those that are willing to keep going.  You don't have to go fast....just don't go slow.      _______________________________ You are listening to the Warrior On Fire, Daily Fuel podcast with your host, Garrett J White.

For all of those parents out there, I'm sure you know exactly what I mean when I state that half of the relationship I have with my kids is about going to war with them. Not because I don't love them nor is it because I don't care: it's BECAUSE I care that I go to war with them in the first place. There are strengths and weaknesses inside of each one of them that teach me crucial lessons about myself, making me realize that 80% of the time that an issue or challenge comes up with my kids, it's on me. Inside of my world I have been brought to this place of what I'm experiencing (including the type of children that are under my stewardship to raise) a reality that is meant specifically for me. You have a reality that is specifically meant for you, yet regardless of what our reality is, that which we seek to bring us power comes about through hunting for the truth within. The war that I have with my kids is really about the war that I have with myself.     _______________________________ You are listening to the

It's a hard concept for many to grasp a life of having it all, because it becomes overwhelming trying to do it all on our own to obtain that. We've got to be able to delegate in order to live a life of having it all, realizing that we cannot do all that's expected of us. When we are willing to hand off the power to allow other people to grow, it helps us accomplish things that we would otherwise not be able to do because of all of the other responsibilities and expectations placed on your shoulders. In turn, these people that we're willing to delegate power and responsibilities to gain more power, certainty and confidence within their own life, perpetuating eternal expansion and growth so that anyone who seeks a life of having it all can do it, recognizing that it will only come about through accepting help from others or delegating responsibilities out. Some of this delegation can even come in the form of systematizing and automating roles and actions that would otherwise consume a lot of time and energy tha

While taking my daughters to school today, my oldest is notorious for not giving a shit about certain things like homework and follow thru with shit like bringing her laptop back to school after taking it home. Yet, when she chooses to be committed, she is all in, as she's demonstrated after receiving the lead for the middle school production of Mary Poppins. This shows that she's capable to do whatever the hell she wants to do in life. There are things that we have been told are the way it is, yet there are possibilities that these beliefs are not true and do not apply to us. Do you have the courage to consider other possibilities that are out there to make your life the one you want to have?     _______________________________ You are listening to the Warrior On Fire, Daily Fuel podcast with your host, Garrett J White.

I had one flight delay after another occur for the business trip I was planning to Chicago this week due to ice storms and freezing rain, so instead of waiting it out at the airport, the Voice inside told me to go back home. I chose to course correct and we'll see what comes from it. There are going to be thoughts that come into your world in which your mind is going to play games with you, and then there are times that the Voice tells you to do this or not do this very simply. We make it a lot more complicated when we choose not to listen. When we DO listen to the Voice, it opens up an opportunity to get clear on what the mind is telling us as different than what our heart is telling us.      _______________________________ You are listening to the Warrior On Fire, Daily Fuel podcast with your host, Garrett J White.

As I mentioned in an earlier episode last year, my customized Warrior Surfboard's tip broke about a month ago and after getting it repaired, I now have it back. It works as great as ever, and it wasn't until I was putting the board away for the day that I learned a significant lesson about myself. There's constantly something for me to learn,so after looking at the crack between the crown and the word KING on the Warrior Crest of my board, it represented for me the scars that I've experienced as a king that fell yet was able to rise again. The lesson that I learned was that in order to heal, you first have to be broken. The only way we can gain expansion in our lives is to be broken in the way in which life was currently operating. Only then, can we be healed and reborn. Brokenness is part of life.       _______________________________ You are listening to the Warrior On Fire, Daily Fuel podcast with your host, Garrett J White.

While out on Date Night with my wife about to go have some drinks with friends, I had this thought come to me about unspoken social agreements. It's this concept that when I say 'this' you do 'that,' but the moment that the person no longer chooses to do the action ('this') the person that repsponded to 'that' gets lost in the chaos. The reality is...they've changed, and change is hard. It puts tension on others, especially those that choose not to rise along with it. Tension is an inevitable part of growth, and yet it can quick become extremely chaotic, especially if those we want to rise with us don't. Sometimes, it's the other way around as well, in which they are growing and you want to stay right where you're at. Either way, change is hard but required in order to grow.      _______________________________ You are listening to the Warrior On Fire, Daily Fuel podcast with your host, Garrett J White.
