1 0:00:00 --> 0:00:24 Hello, I'm Charles Coviss, Australasias passion provocateur. 2 0:00:24 --> 0:00:33 Welcome to the first episode for 2023 of the Charles Coviss show episode 136 since we started 3 0:00:33 --> 0:00:43 on this journey in 2020 and a happy new year to you. We welcome you whether you're watching 4 0:00:43 --> 0:00:50 on YouTube or on rumble or listening via podcast. It's great to have you here. Great to have 5 0:00:50 --> 0:01:00 you for another year of weekly ideas, opportunities for learning, for growing, for self-awareness, 6 0:01:00 --> 0:01:11 for passion. So for the first episode of the year, having had three weeks off, seems a long time 7 0:01:11 --> 0:01:19 ago that I was speaking to you. My big idea this week is to welcome you to 2023 and I set out for 8 0:01:19 --> 0:01:32 you seven choices that will make your 2023 a very happy one indeed. These choices are clear and 9 0:01:32 --> 0:01:40 simple, but they are not easy. Making these choices consciously gives you great personal 10 0:01:40 --> 0:01:52 power and power is your ability to create your life in 2023 according to your terms. I want you 11 0:01:52 --> 0:02:03 to live a successful life and to have a successful year. These seven choices you make will ensure you 12 0:02:03 --> 0:02:12 achieve such a year. I urge you to make these choices and then live your life according to 13 0:02:12 --> 0:02:19 these choices. Our format for the show continues this year in the same as last year. I share with 14 0:02:19 --> 0:02:27 you the big idea. I share with you six resources to help you implement the big idea. I'll review 15 0:02:27 --> 0:02:33 some key happenings of the last period since the previous show, in this case the last three weeks, 16 0:02:33 --> 0:02:39 and then finally the foundational principles for this show and more details about my background 17 0:02:39 --> 0:02:45 are contained at the end of the show so that regular viewers and listeners don't have to 18 0:02:45 --> 0:02:51 keep seeing the same stuff. But for new viewers and listeners you will find it most helpful. 19 0:02:52 --> 0:02:57 So let's get into today's big idea and before we get into the big idea let me get into my coffee. 20 0:02:57 --> 0:02:59 Those of you regular viewers listeners know 21 0:03:03 --> 0:03:12 how I love coffee, how passionate I am about coffee. So it's a new year. How do we have a 22 0:03:12 --> 0:03:17 happy new year? That's the wish isn't it? I hope you have a happy new year. Well I do hope you have 23 0:03:17 --> 0:03:25 a happy new year and I'm giving you seven choices that will indeed make your 2023 very happy. 24 0:03:26 --> 0:03:35 We all make choices all the time but many times they are made unconsciously. Making these seven 25 0:03:35 --> 0:03:43 choices that I'm about to share with you consciously are crucially relevant to your life and how 2023 26 0:03:43 --> 0:03:51 unfolds for you. So let's get into these seven choices. Number one, choose to be responsible. 27 0:03:51 --> 0:03:57 Don't be a victim. Don't be a martyr. Choose responsibility. 28 0:04:00 --> 0:04:05 Taking responsibility for your life means you are in control of your life. 29 0:04:05 --> 0:04:10 Taking responsibility for your life means you don't blame anybody for what happens to you. 30 0:04:12 --> 0:04:19 Responsibility is such a powerful, powerful idea. I say you are responsible for the future of the 31 0:04:19 --> 0:04:24 country in which you live regardless of where you're listening. I'm responsible for the future 32 0:04:24 --> 0:04:30 of Australia. I'm responsible for the future of the planet. I'm responsible for my life. When I 33 0:04:30 --> 0:04:38 make such a choice everything changes. When I blame other people for my life experience 34 0:04:38 --> 0:04:44 I've become a victim. I'm no longer in charge. 35 0:04:46 --> 0:04:55 This is such a powerful liberating concept. Choosing responsibility puts you in charge. 36 0:04:55 --> 0:05:09 Number two, choose your top 12 friends. Who are the 12 friends most important to you in your life? 37 0:05:09 --> 0:05:19 Who are the 12 friends that love you the most and that you love? Consciously choosing these 12 38 0:05:19 --> 0:05:27 will ensure that you invest the necessary time in those 12 relationships. You know how complicated 39 0:05:27 --> 0:05:35 one relationship is. If you consciously choose the 12 you will continue to build this wonderful 40 0:05:35 --> 0:05:43 resource that you presently have of 12 friends and that they don't unconsciously disappear or 41 0:05:43 --> 0:05:53 dissipate. Your most loving and loved friends are an amazingly powerful resource for you. 42 0:05:55 --> 0:06:02 Choice number three, choose your worthy ideal for your life. In previous episodes you've heard me 43 0:06:03 --> 0:06:09 share my favourite definition of success. Success is the progressive realisation by you of your 44 0:06:09 --> 0:06:18 worthy ideal. What is your worthy ideal for your life? What do you think your life is about? 45 0:06:19 --> 0:06:26 If you don't clearly know then part of your job this year is to say what is the worthy ideal of 46 0:06:26 --> 0:06:35 my life. I've shared with you previously my worthy ideal and why I do what I do is to learn and grow. 47 0:06:35 --> 0:06:40 A subtext of that is that I'm a freedom warrior. You'll hear that in the background 48 0:06:40 --> 0:06:47 of the foundational principles of this show of how freedom plays such a crucial part in my life. 49 0:06:47 --> 0:06:55 But as I am a freedom warrior I'm also learning and growing whilst pursuing the fight for freedom 50 0:06:55 --> 0:07:01 in a range of five areas including freedom to pursue your passion, 51 0:07:01 --> 0:07:08 hemp and its ability to keep people free, freedom of speech particularly as chairman of the 52 0:07:08 --> 0:07:14 Institute of Comedy, freedom from government overreach which I do as a legal strategist 53 0:07:15 --> 0:07:22 and then freedom that arises from being healthy because if you're in a hospital bed like my son 54 0:07:22 --> 0:07:29 is in hospital you're hardly free. Great health liberates you, frees you. 55 0:07:31 --> 0:07:34 That leads to choice number four. Choose to be healthier. 56 0:07:37 --> 0:07:44 Choose, make this choice at the start of the year I choose to become healthier and my definition of 57 0:07:44 --> 0:07:50 health is that it is and most people don't have a definition of health they think they're healthy 58 0:07:50 --> 0:07:54 and most people don't have a definition of health they think they're healthy 59 0:07:54 --> 0:07:57 but they haven't they say what do you mean by health well I'm not sick that's not a 60 0:07:57 --> 0:08:03 definition that's not health not being sick discernibly sick is not health here's my 61 0:08:03 --> 0:08:08 definition that you may wish to use I urge you to embrace it if you don't have one it's the best 62 0:08:08 --> 0:08:15 one I found I've I've crafted it but it comes about from from 50 plus years of involvement 60 63 0:08:15 --> 0:08:23 plus years of involvement in health and it's this health is the unique optimum balance for you of 64 0:08:23 --> 0:08:33 mental physical and spiritual elements health is the unique optimum balance for you of mental 65 0:08:33 --> 0:08:42 physical and spiritual elements so choice number four choose to be healthier choice number five 66 0:08:42 --> 0:08:53 choose to embrace your problems and not resist them everybody's got problems if you resist them 67 0:08:53 --> 0:08:59 you are wasting your energy pushing back creating unnecessary stress in your life embrace your 68 0:08:59 --> 0:09:05 problems because the fact is you deserve them you the choices that you have previously made have led 69 0:09:05 --> 0:09:11 to the problems you have today and as you've heard me saying other episodes as a human being 70 0:09:11 --> 0:09:16 your reward for solving your problems is not peace happiness joy success blah blah blah 71 0:09:16 --> 0:09:24 your major reward for solving your problems is bigger problems if you are alive it means you 72 0:09:24 --> 0:09:31 have problems to solve and if you resist them it's a waste of your time energy don't do that 73 0:09:32 --> 0:09:37 embrace your problems and then go okay what am I going to learn how am I going to grow by handling 74 0:09:37 --> 0:09:42 this problem don't say to yourself I'm not good enough because I've got these problems if you 75 0:09:42 --> 0:09:49 didn't have problems you would create them so embrace the problems solve them and knowing 76 0:09:49 --> 0:09:55 that you're going to get bigger problems isn't that exciting so you don't beat yourself up 77 0:09:55 --> 0:10:01 because you've got problems which is what many people do choice number six 78 0:10:01 --> 0:10:08 choose your tribe I was going to say choose your gang but you know you can think of it as a gang 79 0:10:08 --> 0:10:18 but choose your tribe for mutual support encouragement and learning to handle global 80 0:10:18 --> 0:10:24 challenges and trust me we are facing a range of global challenges we are facing challenges 81 0:10:25 --> 0:10:33 challenges from the who we are facing challenges from the world economic forum and davos we are 82 0:10:33 --> 0:10:43 facing challenges from the desire to take away national sovereignty if you join groups I can 83 0:10:43 --> 0:10:51 help you find such tribes or groups or gangs you create a mutual support mechanism so that when 84 0:10:51 --> 0:10:58 the shit really hits the fan you have got a group ready willing and able to get into action 85 0:10:58 --> 0:11:03 regardless of what happens and then being part of such a group and I'm a member of a number of these 86 0:11:03 --> 0:11:13 groups it liberates you from from unnecessary fear being part of a tribe coalesced around a 87 0:11:13 --> 0:11:24 particular goal is a very powerful resource for you and lastly the last choice the seventh choice 88 0:11:25 --> 0:11:34 a very powerful choice I left this to last it's just four words it is the secret to happiness 89 0:11:34 --> 0:11:41 and I said I would guarantee for you a happy 2023 well if you make this choice you will 90 0:11:41 --> 0:11:48 indeed be happy and the choice is four words choose to be happy 91 0:11:51 --> 0:12:00 sounds simple doesn't it not easy choose to be happy these four words are of crucial importance 92 0:12:00 --> 0:12:05 to you you see most people in my experience I have a lot of experience most people are unhappy 93 0:12:05 --> 0:12:09 because they've got problems but I've already said to you you're going to have problems for 94 0:12:09 --> 0:12:16 the rest of your life if you're waiting for the absence of problems to be happy you won't be happy 95 0:12:17 --> 0:12:22 and I promise you you can be happy in the midst of problems how do I know I've got plenty of 96 0:12:22 --> 0:12:31 problems and I'm happy this is a powerful liberating idea Julie lives her life by this way 97 0:12:31 --> 0:12:38 I live my life this way my dad taught me this I promise you it works the Dalai Lama also says 98 0:12:38 --> 0:12:46 that stop waiting for some state of nirvana before you're happy choose to be happy 99 0:12:49 --> 0:12:57 when you are happy your ability to handle all the stuff you need to handle is is is enhanced 100 0:12:57 --> 0:13:03 is empowered is enlarged it's a it's a wonderful way to live your life 101 0:13:04 --> 0:13:09 and it's a conscious choice for the previous six choices I gave you if you make your conscious 102 0:13:09 --> 0:13:19 choices amongst these seven you will indeed have a wonderful successful spectacular happy 103 0:13:19 --> 0:13:28 2023 I promise you so let me give you the resources to then help you 104 0:13:29 --> 0:13:32 live life in this way according to these conscious choices you make 105 0:13:34 --> 0:13:40 my quote is by John C. Maxwell a prolific author expert on leadership 106 0:13:41 --> 0:13:49 he says this life is a matter of choices and every choice you make makes you 107 0:13:50 --> 0:13:57 how about that you can make yourself totally new this year by making these seven choices 108 0:13:57 --> 0:14:06 consciously life is a matter of choices and every choice you make makes you my book this week is by 109 0:14:06 --> 0:14:14 John C. Maxwell it's called how successful people grow and I picked this book out of his many books 110 0:14:14 --> 0:14:20 because I've said to you before my worthy ideal is to learn and grow that's what my life is about 111 0:14:20 --> 0:14:25 the meaning of my life is to be here to learn and grow to embrace this experience of life well how 112 0:14:25 --> 0:14:31 do you grow well John Maxwell's book could be the one that you need my song this week 113 0:14:33 --> 0:14:37 is by James Brown and the idea of this song is to make you happy 114 0:14:39 --> 0:14:50 and it's oh I feel good I knew that I would now I feel good and the reason why I also picked 115 0:14:50 --> 0:14:57 this song is it is a happy song but also because this was the theme song that we chose in our team 116 0:14:57 --> 0:15:05 in 1993 when I went to business school in Hawaii with Robert Kiyosaki and we had a team of 11 of 117 0:15:05 --> 0:15:11 us and it's a pretty powerful team and this was our theme song when we were doing hard exercise 118 0:15:11 --> 0:15:20 we are I feel good I feel fine and we'd be running walking up the hill so songs are powerful 119 0:15:21 --> 0:15:26 songs music is the language of the soul pick a song that revives your spirits 120 0:15:28 --> 0:15:32 my health tip this week I'm getting a lot of information from the various sources that you 121 0:15:32 --> 0:15:39 know that I have access to of the power of vitamin d3 now I've been increasing my intake of vitamin d3 122 0:15:40 --> 0:15:47 and I had a test and I was shocked despite all my exercise on my bike to find how low my vitamin d 123 0:15:47 --> 0:15:53 levels were get your vitamin d levels tested vitamin d has a crucial element in many in the 124 0:15:53 --> 0:16:04 functioning of many parts of your body's system my spiritual tip is to meditate on who your 12 top 125 0:16:04 --> 0:16:11 friends are you see being friends are your friends are those that you care about you love 126 0:16:11 --> 0:16:16 is a spiritual element of your life it's one of the 10 spiritual elements starting with it the 127 0:16:16 --> 0:16:25 letter f your friends but who are your top 12 that you are going to nurture throughout 2023 128 0:16:25 --> 0:16:32 who love you the most who you love the most you can have thousands of facebook friends but they're 129 0:16:32 --> 0:16:37 not your friends these are the top 12 friends and many of you will have many more friends you can 130 0:16:37 --> 0:16:46 go gosh how do I limit this to the top 12 and then lastly on the issue of choices we have a spot 131 0:16:46 --> 0:16:57 of humor and it's a it's a small story about a small shop owner and it's it's relevant because 132 0:16:57 --> 0:17:02 when it's now it's summer in in Australia in Melbourne here in Victoria and I used to be 133 0:17:02 --> 0:17:07 president of the lawn surf life-saving club and yesterday was the peer to pub swim at lawn 134 0:17:07 --> 0:17:11 I didn't get a chance to go and do that because I had too much work on 135 0:17:12 --> 0:17:20 um but lawn over summer like many seaside resorts is busy busy busy busy but then in winter it gets 136 0:17:20 --> 0:17:26 quieter well this is a story about a small shop owner who has a store on a beach needs to hire 137 0:17:26 --> 0:17:34 some help and the job's of course a seasonal so he found two he found two he couldn't decide which 138 0:17:34 --> 0:17:39 one but he thought oh well you know uh they've got to go back to school at the end of the holidays 139 0:17:39 --> 0:17:43 so after interviews he chose a young man named Jack who'll do most of the heavy lifting 140 0:17:43 --> 0:17:49 and a young pretty girl named Melanie to work the till and do some light sails they work out 141 0:17:49 --> 0:17:55 extremely well the summer is busy but as it starts to come to an end and the weather turns cool 142 0:17:55 --> 0:18:01 sales go down and there's a lack of tourists so he needs to alleviate the lack of income 143 0:18:02 --> 0:18:05 and he knows he has to get rid of one of his new employees but he likes them both 144 0:18:06 --> 0:18:12 and he's reluctant to make a choice Melanie is moving some boxes so he decides to pose the 145 0:18:12 --> 0:18:19 dilemma to her maybe one of them wants to go willingly Melanie he says I have a bit of an 146 0:18:19 --> 0:18:25 issue that I need your help to decide which way to go I either have to lay you or jack off 147 0:18:27 --> 0:18:32 she continues to move the box in the hand and replies could you check off I have a headache 148 0:18:32 --> 0:18:38 I know it's a bit rude but hello it's a new year and uh Julie's shocked that I would have that 149 0:18:38 --> 0:18:48 joke no she's not she knows what I'm like so I hope today's big idea and the choices I've inspired 150 0:18:48 --> 0:18:55 of provoking you to make will help you to make this an amazing year will help you to raise your 151 0:18:55 --> 0:19:02 self-awareness will help you to live your life with passion to embrace

happenings 157 0:19:37 --> 0:19:43 over the last three weeks it's hard to imagine that three weeks has gone just like that the 158 0:19:43 --> 0:19:47 previous show I recorded on the 18th of December and now I'm recording this on the 8th of January 159 0:19:48 --> 0:19:54 wow so three weeks goes by we had Christmas celebrations new year celebrations some of you 160 0:19:54 --> 0:20:00 will notice that my beard has got a bit lighter well a week ago I had to cut off my beard because 161 0:20:00 --> 0:20:04 we had to dress up for a new year's eve party which we do every year and I had to go as a woman so I 162 0:20:04 --> 0:20:11 decided I wouldn't go as a bearded woman I went unshaven so it's coming back you can see so I'm 163 0:20:11 --> 0:20:17 pleased to see that in about two weeks time it won't be any different my beard goes very quickly 164 0:20:18 --> 0:20:25 I must say it was surprising how many people that I'm close to did not notice that I had lost my 165 0:20:25 --> 0:20:32 beard and it was a salutary lesson again that you will stop worrying about what people think 166 0:20:32 --> 0:20:39 of you when you realize how little time they spend thinking of you close family members 167 0:20:39 --> 0:20:46 did not notice my beard was missing the global meetings that I moderate three each week continues 168 0:20:47 --> 0:20:54 so there have been nine meetings of importance relevance including the medical doctors for ethics 169 0:20:54 --> 0:21:01 that I've told you about and then the foam meetings and the important matters and ideas have come up 170 0:21:01 --> 0:21:06 out of that that you will get the benefit of from these weekly shows so stick around because there 171 0:21:06 --> 0:21:14 are some major challenges that humanity is facing and coming up in this month is the World Economic 172 0:21:14 --> 0:21:21 Forum meeting in Davos I consider the weft to be a grossly evil organization and I urge you to 173 0:21:21 --> 0:21:28 question everything it says I also consider the United Nations to be bad of bad intent and the 174 0:21:29 --> 0:21:36 the smart cities campaign that it's promoting must be resisted and there's this nonsense of the 20 175 0:21:36 --> 0:21:42 minute rule 15 minute rule please make yourself aware of it it is such a threat to your freedom 176 0:21:42 --> 0:21:51 and my freedom I am implacably opposed to it and lastly over the last three weeks you'll be pleased 177 0:21:51 --> 0:21:56 to know that Julie and I have maintained our health have done the things that help us to be 178 0:21:56 --> 0:22:02 healthy have done the exercise I've continued to train almost every day and I urge you to do the 179 0:22:02 --> 0:22:07 same it's one of the choices that you make choose to be healthier what I assure you with all the 180 0:22:08 --> 0:22:15 things I've got on my plate I never I never have the idea I can't afford to exercise every hour 181 0:22:15 --> 0:22:22 of exercise increases your capability gives you two hours of productivity so you're one hour ahead 182 0:22:23 --> 0:22:30 so if you're new to the show stick around now for the last part which is the background about me in 183 0:22:30 --> 0:22:35 some detail

Charles Coves show thanks for being here bye for now 189 0:23:13 --> 0:23:30 and now for viewers and listeners who want to know more about my background and what else I 190 0:23:30 --> 0:23:36 do with my life as well as the foundational principles of the show here we are since 1993 191 0:23:36 --> 0:23:42 when I left my legal career a career that I love to become Australasias passion provocateur 192 0:23:43 --> 0:23:50 I have inspired and provoked and educated and motivated people all over the world to discover 193 0:23:50 --> 0:23:56 and pursue their passion I have helped people via the books that I've written via speeches at 194 0:23:56 --> 0:24:06 conferences via in-depth team building programs workshops over one two or three days or over three 195 0:24:06 --> 0:24:11 months six months and I've coached people of all ages one on one from small medium and large 196 0:24:11 --> 0:24:19 enterprises government enterprises helping them to identify the often tiny changes that can make a 197 0:24:19 --> 0:24:27 massive difference one of my core principles is that freedom is what makes us truly human 198 0:24:27 --> 0:24:34 that's why one of the greatest threats that government imposes on you to force you to observe 199 0:24:34 --> 0:24:40 its laws is the threat of imprisonment the loss of your freedom just think about that 200 0:24:40 --> 0:24:44 government says if you don't behave yourself we're going to put you in jail no no don't go to jail I 201 0:24:44 --> 0:24:52 don't want to lose my freedom that's a reminder to you of why freedom is so important without 202 0:24:52 --> 0:24:57 freedom you and I are not much different to animals if you are locked up in a cage for the 203 0:24:57 --> 0:25:04 rest of your life how how different would you be to an animal this commitment to fighting for 204 0:25:04 --> 0:25:12 freedoms for all people is carried out by me primarily through five channels number one 205 0:25:12 --> 0:25:21 preserving the freedom to pursue your passion number two inspiring you to be able to be free 206 0:25:21 --> 0:25:28 through excellent health number three helping preserve freedom throughout the world through 207 0:25:28 --> 0:25:36 the expansion of industrial hemp a magnificent agricultural crop an almost miraculous crop 208 0:25:37 --> 0:25:46 that enables every community to thrive independently of government in this way the power of government 209 0:25:46 --> 0:25:54 to take away freedom is minimized number four fighting for freedom through legal strategies 210 0:25:54 --> 0:26:00 so I do work as a legal strategy consultant as an interface between clients and their lawyers 211 0:26:01 --> 0:26:06 and number five as chairman of the Australian Institute of Comedy and as a board member of the 212 0:26:06 --> 0:26:15 Australian Cartoon Museum fighting for the freedom of thought and speech through uncensored 213 0:26:16 --> 0:26:26 comedy and humor through avoiding political correctness in the comedic space when you block 214 0:26:26 --> 0:26:30 freedom of speech freedom of thought that's the beginning of the end of your freedoms 215 0:26:31 --> 0:26:35 the foundational principles for the Charles Covass show are founded on the formula 216 0:26:36 --> 0:26:44 SA plus P equals S your self-awareness added to your passion will guarantee that you are 217 0:26:44 --> 0:26:50 successful and the best definition of success I have found in life is that success is the 218 0:26:50 --> 0:26:57 progressive realization of your worthy ideals the progressive realization of your worthy ideals 219 0:26:58 --> 0:27:04 this show is also guided by Socrates famous principle and quote the unexamined life is not 220 0:27:04 --> 0:27:09 worth living you can see I'm wearing my red jacket I wear my red jacket for all my shows red is the 221 0:27:09 --> 0:27:16 color of passion so that when you see me on the YouTube version it reminds you that when you see 222 0:27:16 --> 0:27:23 red in your life you ask yourself the question am I pursuing my passion what am I passionate about 223 0:27:23 --> 0:27:30 am I still passionate about that what might I newly be passionate about each week I explore one big 224 0:27:30 --> 0:27:35 idea that can change your life and it's just one big idea because there's a chance you will remember 225 0:27:35 --> 0:27:40 if I give you too many ideas then we we get confused and we don't do anything 226 0:27:41 --> 0:27:49 clarity leads to power confusion kills passion each week I share simple and practical resources 227 0:27:49 --> 0:27:55 that you've heard me describe in the earlier part of the show a spiritual tip a health tip 228 0:27:55 --> 0:28:02 lyrics of a song a book a quote and of course humor this show is not politically correct I have 229 0:28:02 --> 0:28:07 no intention of being politically correct and I love certain addictions including my addiction 230 0:28:07 --> 0:28:18 to great coffee my addiction to exercise my addiction to reading and my addiction to certain 231 0:28:18 --> 0:28:26 other unmentionable in public type behaviors who would know what they are this show definitely 232 0:28:26 --> 0:28:32 subscribes to the view that we have a spiritual life so if you don't like discussion of spirituality 233 0:28:32 --> 0:28:38 this show is not for you I promise you that I don't include anything in this show that I 234 0:28:38 --> 0:28:43 don't consider to be true and that I have not found to be useful in the work that I've done 235 0:28:43 --> 0:28:50 over the past 28 years but also over the past 50 years in business as a lawyer as a consultant 236 0:28:50 --> 0:28:57 advisor I only want to share stuff with you that is of value to you finally if you have any 237 0:28:57 --> 0:29:03 questions or suggestions please feel free to contact me at Charles at Covess.com again 238 0:29:03 --> 0:29:17 thanks for watching and listening to my show bye
