We built our dreams around family. Sharing pics of our family is hard because our son Gavin that passed away is always with us but never seen. 🙏🙏 Love you, @natalienorton! Being a Dad is the best! 🤟😊🤙 Hey friends! What’s a cool memory or fact about your dad?! (at World Wide) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBtn5BrBpqK/?igshid=dehypwq98nz8
In the last 6 months I’ve published 50 podcasts and here’s what I’ve learned...it’s hard...I love it...it’s helpful. I’ve also been on about 30 or 40 so shows as a guest...I’ve been on about 500 over the last few years...here’s what I learned..they are an amazing way to share and learn and earn. My client and now one of my best friends Benjamin Hardy just launched a book (Personality Isn’t Permanent) with a traditional publisher and as part of the strategy to spread the word he went on hundreds of podcasts. In the midst of a pandemic, global economic depression, gross human rights violations and more...there is one thing I know...sharing what we know and learn with what I call a WAVE strategy is effective in making positive impact - Written, Audio, Video, Email. It works. But not all communications are alike. I have a client that reached out almost 2 years ago after getting to know the principles I teach and life I lead from social. He told me he’d been working 80 hours a week. We talked strategy. He started a new gig outside his regular employment and then sold this company a couple weeks ago back to his old employer for a million dollars. He just reached out and hired me again. It’s not about money. People looking for money rarely win in life or even the money they seek. The biggest wins are life wins...family, faith, contribution, fun ...there is a way to build businesses that support meaning as opposed to seeking money to create meaning. In fact, most seeking money for meaning end up experiencing mission drift...they drift away from the mission and meaning and spend most of their time seeking funds. I have so many free resources that are more effective than most peoples’s paid programs they sell for thousands. 99% of my stuff is free. Click the link in bio to see the 76 day challenge taken by over 10,000 people recently...or the professionally recorded live workshop on creating products and lifestyle businesses, or the mastering the power of starting something stupid course for ideas and implementation (valued at $2,766) or thr podcast guest master ebook on how to get on podcasts...and more. All free. Link in bio. Love you! https://linktr.ee/richie_norton (at Waimea Bay, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBrbIucBAZI/?igshid=suscugvvbolx
On a sunny Hawaiian day, in the spring of 2007, Gavin took a gray, plastic container and placed his journals, a beat-up card containing the prayer of St. Francis of Assisi, and a few other precious possessions inside. He sealed the box and labeled it “To be opened 2027.” He took a Sharpie and adorned his treasure chest with a clever little drawing of a pirate and a short note to himself that read, “Hello, old man Gavin!” He got on his salt-rusted beach cruiser, carefully balanced the box on his lap and pedaled with bare feet toward the lush Hawaiian mountains. Gavin had called Hawaii home for more than five years—nearly a quarter of his young life—and he wanted to leave a piece of his heart with the island that had taught and given him so much. He buried his treasure at the base of the beautiful Ko’olauloa Mountains, intending not to open it again for twenty years. It was only a few short weeks later, however, that those journals were unearthed, and I found myself reading excerpts from them to a grief-stricken audience of hundreds who had gathered to celebrate his incredible young life. Less than three weeks after burying his time capsule, my healthy and vibrant young brother-in-law passed away unexpectedly in his sleep. He was twenty-one years old. — We miss @natalienorton’s brother so much. Today is the anniversary since his passing. Seems like yesterday. We talk about him daily and he is still a major part of our lives. He’s a hero in our home and his story lives on in us, all who knew him and in the works we do an writings we share. Legit this kid made me a better human. He rests with our son in the Old Laie Cemetery. 🙏🙏 Miss him so much. (at Hukilau Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBkI8qGhByV/?igshid=kidwv92gu8jg
LIFE HAS BEATEN US TO HELL AND BACK. @natalienorton and I had a fairy tale, whirlwind wedding. We literally got married within 2 months of meeting each other. (What!) I know. KA-RAZY. Our son died from Whooping Cough. It was the low point in my life. My personal life spun into deep grief. My wife’s brother had just died a couple years earlier in his sleep. My wife and I crawled in a hole away from the world. We have 3 other kids and our family doubled to 6 when we brought in 3 more that needed a home (7 year old girl and 1 year old twins). We were going to adopt them until the State reunited them with bio Mom. A blessing and nightmare simultaneously. 🙏 My wife and I decided to take our 3 kids on a road trip from NY. On the way to the airport my wife lost her memory (stroke?). Her memory came back. The doctors said there was no long term damage. I was scared. She got on the plane anyways. We became digital entrepreneurs roaming from New York City to San Diego to Mexico to Canada. We never knew where we’d stay at night. Bliss. We did this for 6-7 months before we got screwed by a wolf in sheep’s clothing. 💩 happens. We own our own lives and live regardless of frauds. We now have books, videos and companies all about living an intentional life without regret to impact the world for good. We make both physical products and digital products with a decentralized, global footprint. For over 15 years we’ve run our own businesses, have taught entrepreneurship and lifestyle, have companies that help entrepreneurs make cool stuff that have resulted in influencing millions of people. Then, one day our son was hit by a car near our home in Hawai’i. He should have died. He’s back surfing again. Courage 👊. Look: Life is short. Just because that phrase is cliche, doesn’t make it less true. Covid, horrendous disregard for human rights, the collapse of economies and even the fall of traditional education is happening right now. Pain is like gas that fills a room. No matter how little gas/pain, it can fill your entire being. Use this time to become a better, not bitter. (at Sunset Beach, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBekk-0l_XX/?igshid=1rjbrnv3owlk
What do you want that you’re afraid of doing? It’s better to be brave than buried in fear. Years ago the amazing @natalienorton wrote, “Friends, we survive trauma by acknowledging our own courage. …by celebrating every millimeter of progress toward greater light …those millimeters may as well be marathons — the effort can be so great.” If you want courage to act, start with a better question. Ask: “How can I get ‘xyz’ results without ‘abc’ happening by ‘goal day’?” The fact that you’re asking the question means your mind is open to creative solutions as opposed to if/then or can/can’t scarcity thinking. Leaving a space open for creative thinking will allow you to move from goals to decisions. Goals are cool, but creative decisions win. If I have a goal to write a book, I’ll have the goal and no book. The moment I decide to write a book, the book is written. Courage. Few things are harder than being brave when everyone else lacks courage. Keep going. ✊🙏 “cour·age /ˈkərij/ noun 1. the ability to do something that frightens one. 2. strength in the face of pain or grief." Sometimes putting first things first first means putting grated things first? Yeah? 🙏🙏 What are you going to use the power of courage for in 2020 in the face of pain and grief? What are you afraid of? Why not do it anyway? That’s courage. Take courage and and be brave. (at North Shore, Oahu, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBcQ_mrgGCX/?igshid=1aqgf9dk7t2x7
🙏🙏 I’ve learned sadly that most people fall into the trap of working for money and never finding the time they thought it would afford. I call it the retirement mentality—waiting till later to do what you want today. Turns out it’s entirely possible to build income around time instead of hoping for it on the fringes. People confuse saving money with postponing dreams. Get your life back. Your life should consist of more than commuting, working, eating, surfing the Internet, sleeping and watching TV. Your life should be filled with purpose-driven experiences and projects that bring excitement, passion, energy, and authentic meaning and joy into your life. In the late 1800s, organizations in countries such as Germany and the United States began to offer pensions to meet the needs of the people with special strings attached. Companies and governments essentially said, “If you do what I want you to do today, I’ll give you more money tomorrow.” Now, more than a hundred years after that first wave of pensioners, we have several generations of people who have actually been incentivized to put off their dreams until age sixty-five or later. Kids in their twenties waited forty years to go on vacation. It’s still a thing today. With a promise in hand (from management or government or retirement planners) that life-after-work will be better, we crumple up our dreams like a paper ball and toss them out the window, hoping that the wind will blow those dreams back our way when we finally hit retirement. Don’t let that person be you. As Thomas S. Monson said, “This is our one and only chance at mortal life-here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by. As you plan for that illusive, nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find you in the journey now.” 🙏🙏 (at Sunset Beach, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBaMDb0gtiu/?igshid=hzqd48k75jfq
One time visiting in Boise, Idaho I saw some graffiti of a cockroach and a Twinkie holding hands. They were depicted as the only survivors of the apocalypse. #accurate. We’ve had several personal apocalypses in our lives. You may have too. Humans don’t make it out alive because of processed ingredients or evolution. We actually don’t always make it out alive at all. We are fragile. Each time @natalienorton and I have experienced a heavy tragedy or a potential tragedy, we actually sometimes want to die too. We want to shrink and fade away. That’s human. What makes humans great isn’t our ability to survive like a Twinkie or a cockroach or even a Twinkie cockroach or cockroach Twinkie (I hate typing that as much as you hate reading it, but I couldn’t help myself). What makes humans great is our ability to thrive DESPITE the risk of not being able to survive. Tragedies bring humans together. It’s a terrible, beautiful thing. If you feel like you don’t have anyone in your life to hold you up, I’m sorry. Not gonna sugarcoat it like a Twinkie. That’s hard. Sometimes even the biggest and greatest leaders feel alone. Loneliness doesn’t mean people aren’t around you: it’s more complicated. Our biggest pains in life aren’t always what happen to us, but what happens to others. If you’re alone or lonely or scared or having a hard time, consider this: it’s a tunnel, not a cave. Tunnels have an opening, but you HAVE to keep walking. Why Does this Matter? Life and death situations, challenging situations, important issues, loneliness, finding meaning, fear, courage, crucial conversations, defining moments — you know — real life stuff…can put all the fluff in our lives into proper perspective. OR, it can make you feel worse. The great challenge in life is to turn tragedies into triumphs, sadness into success and confusion into confidence. It’s the small everyday activities added up that total the sum of our existence. Small moments matter. Agreed? 🙏 What’s a small thing that you’re doing that is helping you personally or to support others? (at Pupukea, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBW7SKgAbZQ/?igshid=1wvqg3f18p0cp
This idea that “love is all it takes” may sound naive, weird or Beatle-ish. That’s because it is…and that’s ok. Misunderstanding, alienation, posturing and identifying others as “other” and not “one” causes strife, hatred, selfishness, secret-dealings, walls, fights and poverty, etc for various reasons. Life is situational. Love is unconditional. Unconditional Love Includes Standing Up for Yourself and Standing for Others Unconditional love means you love unconditionally. I’m religious. I believe my Godly parents love me and you unconditionally. This doesn’t mean I lay down and accept that I’m a doormat. You are not a doormat. The bad in the world does not negate a loving God. I didn’t always think this way. Fortunately, life is something we create. You are in a position to create your own life. You are in a position to stand up for others rights. You are in a position to be a force for good. When life becomes impossible, you become the only possible. As Victor Frankl said upon reflecting on his torture in a Nazi conentration camp, “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” POWERFUL! In behavioral science it’s called cascading human behavior. It’s shown in studies that “cooperative behavior cascades in human social networks.” In other words…The more someone receives or sees kindness, the more likely they are to be kind themselves. Don’t wait to be kind. Let’s positive-cascade this era. Let’s assume positive intent and demonstrate an abundance of love and helpfulness. Yeah? Are you in?

“In a joint op-ed column published today by the online platform Medium, President Russell M. Nelson and senior leaders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People called for racial reform, asking “people everywhere to join us in a journey of understanding and overcoming.”” ... “We first linked arms as friends and have now locked arms in love and brotherhood. The people of America can do the same.” ... “Unitedly we declare that the answers to racism, prejudice, discrimination and hate will not come from government or law enforcement alone. Solutions will come as we open our hearts to those whose lives are different than our own, as we work to build bonds of genuine friendship, and as we see each other as the brothers and sisters we are — for we are all children of a loving God.” ... “We share deep sorrow for the senseless, heinous act of violence that needlessly took the life of George Floyd. We mourn with his family, friends and community. We likewise look on with sadness at the anger, hate, contempt and violence spilling onto America’s streets, devastating cities across the nation, and creating fear and anxiety in citizens across this great land.” ...

#amplifymelanatedvoices #blacklivesmatter #icantbreathe Get off the sideline. You have everything to lose. “Never be limited by other people’s limited imaginations.” —Dr. Mae Jemison, first African-American female astronaut “A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.” – Jackie Robinson “What you’re thinking is what you’re becoming.” – Muhammad Ali “I have learned over the years that when one’s mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear.” – Rosa Parks “Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.” – Michael Jordan “We have learned to fly the air like birds and swim the sea like fish, but we have not learned the simple art of living together as brothers. Our abundance has brought us neither peace of mind nor serenity of spirit.” —Martin Luther King, Jr. (at Sunset Beach, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA60AJTAbt6/?igshid=1mfvo76gbv2z4
Privilege is the right to remain silent when others can’t. 🇺🇸 #blacklivesmatter When you post on social media, you’re not speaking to every side of every issue. That’s what books are for...but books don’t even do that...scholarly, peer-reviewed articles don’t even do that. Eliminate dichotomy mindset.
