momentum And how you define the time you’re in I’ve been Talking a lot about the stumbling blocks Or the things that interfere With our visions and our dreams But what about the momentum you accumulate after days of accumulating victory over the forces of resistance and procrastination That morning cup of coffee The caffeine spike when the writing is almost done That feeling you have after a long run Or gone to the gym Or played a show Or painted something you’re proud of Let’s talk about what it is to overcome the battle That always comes with any attempts at progress In other words let’s talk about momentum To push the ball further down field to the end zone of our dreams That’s what it’s all about And the end zone need not be winning the Pulitzer Or filling a table with Grammys Or getting a diamond YouTube button Or whatever the benchmark of ultimate success is for you The end zone is really Making it to the place where you’ve Defeated resistance And seen through the tactics of the lunatic called oppression or the self limiting beliefs The forces of oppression employ in the battle Momentum helps us see through the oppression Enough to where we can easily overcome it And have us set up habitual patterns Towards working Without having to question it really at all That’s the place we are aiming for Stacking days of flow so that they become a matter of course The habit of work The gratitude of momentum Pushing and pushing and pushing And not being uptight about it or forgetting to have fun But pushing anyway. That’s the real end zone Which quickly becomes the beginning zone As new creative ideas spider web out of your opening mind The battle in your mind for the fulfillment of a vision Isn’t only for that vision But a kind of muscle you are building in the gymnasium of the soul Where one vision becomes two and two becomes four and then you end up with a serious body of work. Having overcome so many limitations in the cultivation of your souls garden So that you escape the fate of being like most men who go into their grave with their song unsung As Thoreau famously said Most men lead lives of quiet desperation going to their grave with their song still in them. To get that song out of you required a lot which is why most men never do The pitfalls to singing it are many. We won’t ever kill the forces working against us But the more we beat them in battle the easier and easier it gets to recognize their booby traps And shenanigans And dirty tricks And dive right into the landscape of an opening vision And it’s not rooted in external success Or a reward someone is going to hand you But rather In A surrendering to the process And the habit of finding that process daily. In putting the work first In making it fun In trying But not trying too hard But also not not trying enough It’s a priority To wake up And write first thing Or whatever the nature of your creative vision happens to be We must point are days in that direction For the distractions are endless and always available Speed is often brought up as a factor towards success I believe because speed cultivates momentum And momentum cultivates speed Like a spinning wheel We must make the wheels of our dreams spin and keep them moving And speed over rides over thinking and the dangers that come with procrastination and fear. Arriving finally and hopefully at an ease of purpose Or momentum of gratitude And I guess ease of purpose Is when you aren’t debating your objectives anymore Or internal objections. You arent spending hours and days trying to sell your own dream to yourself before you allow yourself to reach for it You become the one reaching for it And you keep at it long enough to where That battle becomes seemingly out of reach to the dark forces of resistance or oppression and procrastination At least for windows of time Or at least a safe distance for as long as you lean into the momentum of gratitude Of arriving at this place Gratitude for overcoming the hurdles that allowed you to discover this space You could think of it like a prison break You’ve broken free And run from the prison At first alarms were going off and the barking dogs were chasing you But luckily you hopped on a boxcar train Of habit and created momentum It took you far away from the old cages And so now you’re not in immediate danger of being captured by the forces of oppression But they’re still out there looking for you You have to remain vigilant But you’ve gotten out of the prison clothes And changed your identity a bit And now you are operating as creatively free man or woman Leaning into your vision It’s at this stage when the forces of oppression change form And you realize that perhaps their influence and destructive energies Were put there to make you stronger From the area where you’ve overcome and graduated Beyond their initial attack New worlds of creative expansion open up for us Rather than insurmountable monsters of oppression The gifts of overcoming their attacks Convert them into drill sergeants of the soul Or cosmic personal trainers of your dreams Because from the place of overcoming And breaking free New worlds of confidence in your ability to creatively expand beyond old self imposed limitations Become much easier to see and believe in And you are operating from momentum now You are busy being born rather than busy dying as Bob Dylan says You can Bully the bullies now When the voices of oppression emerge They become easy to see through and laugh at Rather than terrifying you You can chuckle in their direction And simply say Awe isn’t that cute We shouldn’t get too cocky Because life will always throw surprises and stumbling blocks But we should take note of these times of flow when we are in them and remember how we got here we should recognize these moments of momentum And lean into them Be grateful for them And stack up more wins When the wind is at our back.

Gaming the system of dopamine to work for you rather than against you

Preparing for the inevitability of letting yourself down is the secret to overcoming persistent limitations.

A song about following your dreams as daunting as they may be. Hope it inspires.

Dr. Peter McCullough • Professor of Medicine • Vice Chief of Internal Medicine • Baylor University Medical Center • Dallas, TX After receiving a bachelor’s degree from Baylor University, Dr. McCullough completed his medical degree as an Alpha Omega Alpha graduate from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas. He went on to complete his internal medicine residency at the University of Washington in Seattle, cardiology fellowship including service as Chief Fellow at William Beaumont Hospital, and master’s degree in public health at the University of Michigan. Dr. McCullough is a consultant cardiologist and Vice Chief of Medicine at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, TX. He is a Principal Faculty in internal medicine for the Texas A & M University Health Sciences Center. Dr. McCullough is an internationally recognized authority on the role of chronic kidney disease as a cardiovascular risk state with > 1000 publications and > 500 citations in the National Library of Medicine. It was an honor speaking with Dr. McCullough who has recently set himself apart from many in his profession by raising important questions about treatment for covid and the safety of the mRNA shots, which have taken over the conversation of the world as of late. A conversation most have in private as precious few are brave enough to bring their concerns into a public view. Dr McCullough is helping change that by being a fearless warrior for health and free speech alike. I hope you find this informative and inspirational.
