00:00U squared chapter 17. Imagine standing on the edge of a cliff, the ground beneath
00:07you solid and sure, yet ahead there's no visible path, just an abyss of
00:14uncertainty. You know many of us face moments like this in life, moments when
00:19the next step is unclear, the outcome unknown, and it's in these times that
00:25we're called to take a leap, a quantum leap. And today I want to share a message
00:31inspired by U squared by Price Pritchett, specifically chapter 17, which teaches us
00:38to trust the invisible path and take bold action towards our goals. So in
00:46chapter 17 Pritchett introduces us to the concept of making a quantum leap, an
00:53extraordinary jump in our progress that's far beyond incremental growth. But
01:00here's the thing, the quantum leap isn't logical or predictable, it requires a
01:05leap of faith, trust, and often abandoning conventional approaches. So let's break
01:13down the key points from this chapter and explore how you can embrace this
01:18transformative way of thinking. Operate in the realm of possibility, not
01:26predictability. So Pritchett emphasizes that if we stick to what's predictable
01:32we can find ourselves the mediocrity. Quantum leaps happen when we operate in
01:38the realm of possibility, where the unexpected can emerge. This means we must
01:44expand our thinking beyond what we believe is possible. Imagine a goal or a
01:50dream that you currently have, one that seems almost too big to reach, and
01:56instead of shrinking it to fit what you think is possible, stretch your belief to
02:02meet the potential it actually holds. Now think about this, stop measuring your
02:09next move by what's realistic or what you've done before. Possibility thinking
02:15invites opportunities that conventional wisdom overlooks. You see, the
02:22extraordinary often lives in what we cannot yet foresee. Trust the unseen
02:30process. Pritchett also explains that taking a quantum leap often feels risky,
02:37but we cannot see the entire process laid out in front of us. And that can
02:43feel risky, but that's the point. It's about stepping into the unknown, trusting
02:49that the dots will connect as you move forward. It's like walking through fog.
02:54You can't see everything, but as you continue, the path clears step by step.
03:01And think about it, you know, you don't need all the answers to make progress.
03:06Often we wait for certainty before acting, but true breakthroughs happen
03:12when we trust the process, even when we can't see the full picture. Action
03:20precedes confidence. You know, one of the most powerful ideas in this chapter is
03:26the notion that confidence doesn't come first, action does. You know, many of us
03:33believe that once we feel ready, we'll make our move. But in reality, confidence
03:39builds with each step forward, not before. It's the doing that creates the
03:45knowing. Pritchett suggests that we must act boldly and trust that confidence
03:51will follow. I mean, think about it. Don't wait for certainty or confidence to
03:56strike. Take action and let confidence catch up with you. Every time you move
04:03forward, you gain more clarity and self-assurance. Let go of control and
04:11surrender the process. Now, in the pursuit of quantum leaps, we have to learn to let
04:17go of the need to control every aspect of our journey. Pritchett points out that
04:22control can often limit us. We might be trying to manage the process too tightly,
04:28which blocks the flow of creativity and possibility. By surrendering to the
04:35process, we allow the universe to deliver solutions, opportunities, and pathways we
04:42couldn't have planned for. And you know, sometimes the best way to achieve
04:47greatness is to stop gripping so tightly. Relax into the process and trust that
04:54unseen forces are working in your favor. So, as you step into your next phase of
05:01growth, ask yourself, are you playing it safe or are you ready to trust in the
05:07quantum leap? Will you stay on the predictable path or will you embrace the
05:13unknown? Remember, operating in the realm of possibility is where
05:18breakthroughs occur. Trust that the answers will appear along the way. Take
05:24action even before you feel completely ready and loosen your grip on the need
05:30to control everything. Because life is not meant to be small. It's meant to be
05:36extraordinary. And the quantum leap is in your invitation to greatness. Step
05:42forward into the unknown and watch how your life expands in ways you never
05:47thought possible. The greatest reward lies just beyond your leap of faith. Now
05:55think about it. What leap will you take today? Thank you, friends. Tomorrow we'll
06:03discuss chapter 18, which is the final chapter of the book U-squared. Have a
06:09beautiful day. Talk to you then.
