13224: You Are Absolutely Capable Of The Life You Imagine
Hey there, hero!
There is a difference between the capability of doing something…and the actual execution/achievement of that something.
It’s a subtle distinction.
Sometimes we doubt that we are capable of something.
Actually achieving whatever that something is may require some additional skills.
But…the doubt that creeps into our minds about whether or not we’re capable of doing it – if we have the capacity and ability to pursue it.
You do.
Are there any guarantees that you will get it? No. But that doesn’t mean you’re not capable.
Do you start the day with this as a given? What do you think you need other than the capability of being a performer? Let me know in the comments below.

so I’ve got an absolute piece of
positive advice for you in this episode
that maybe a little difficult for you to
imagine is true but it absolutely is
there’s probably only just one or two
things stopping you from getting what
you want so let’s talk about that in
this episode of the vo Heroes
podcast as actors as voice Talent as
writers we sometimes sit while we’re by
ourselves in our most contemplative
moments and think about the life that we
want and sometimes it’s pervasive we
can’t stop thinking about it and not
only do we think about the life that we
want the success that we want the daily
schedule that we want the tools that we
want to use the kind of experiences that
we want we can’t stop thinking about
it and we think about the idea that it’s
difficult or impossible to
achieve and I’m here to tell you that
you absolutely are
capable of achieving the life you can’t
stop thinking about you are you may not
know how yet but you are capable of
doing it and that’s the difference have
I done it yet maybe not uh do I know how
maybe not yet but those are things that
you can pursue and achieve the knowledge
of how to achieve that life you can’t
stop thinking about not the question of
if you can or can’t now it may be
frustrating it may take you a long time
to do that there may be things that just
are are puzzles it’s a puzzlement you
know there are things that may take you
years to figure out how to do but you
I’m telling you this you are capable of
doing
it you may need help you may need a
guide you may need a
mentor you may need some very basic
information and instruction and training
on how to do a particular
thing
but this is the basics you are
capable you are it’s not impossible for
you to do this
I I and I realize you could be sitting
there going D but I’ve been trying for
my whole life okay that’s great there
are people who take that amount of time
to get to where they want to go I just
want you to have one less thing to worry
about am I capable of doing this am I
able to do this am I am is it possible
for me to do this you can rest assured
that the answer to that is yes you are
capable of achieving the life you can’t
stop thinking
about ask for help ask me for help ask
your other mentors for help ask your
peers for help ask your family and
friends for help because there may be
something has nothing to do with writing
or acting or Voice work that you need
you know time or organization or respect
or support in some other way the point
is we sometimes get stopped at the
notion of can we actually do this is it
even possible for us to do this and I
want to remove that from the list of
things that you’re concerned about or
worried about or are potentially giving
power to that doesn’t deserve the power
you’re giving
it you are capable of achieving the life
you can’t stop thinking
about I’d love to help you let me know
if I can in the comments below uh and
and I’m just going to give you this one
little piece don’t put in the comments
well help me book more work that’s not
something I can help you with I can help
you up your game but there are so many
things that are beyond your control
certainly Beyond My Control part of
achieving the life that you can’t stop
thinking about is understanding those
things that you can control and those
things that you can’t again this is
knowledge that you may need to gain
about this uh it’s like when people say
to me hey if I take your courses that’s
a lot of money how long before I can
make my money back
I don’t know it’s not even something
that I don’t ever ask that question when
I take a course that costs me thousands
of dollars I don’t ask that question but
I do know that I’m capable of doing it
if I put the work in if I engage I will
eventually figure it
out and so will you I promise you I

Great message, David. Thank you.
Thank you again, David! This was truly helpful.
I can be like a dog with a bone. Fortunately, I have a very patient coach who is calm enough to just let me work it out and doesn’t ever appear to be upset by how long it may take me. Thank you, David. I don’t think I have any words to tell you how thankful I am for you and all of what these courses mean to me.
