Paul is joined by returning guest Sharon Griffiths to talk about whether we’re here to just do as we’re told after having a conversation a while back to which Sharon replied to Paul in this way.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Curiosity plays a part in how we react to be told to “do as you’re told”. If it doesn’t make sense I wouldn’t do as I’m told, or I’d try it out. I do as I’m told until it doesn’t make sense and that’s where the curiosity comes in. I’ve learned through half a century of experience that sometimes it can lead me to where I want to go, but sometimes it doesn’t. If I do as I’m told when it doesn’t make sense, and I’ve paid that price many times, you pay the price one way or another.
I test what I feel works little bit by little bit and as I build the tests up, and they work at the time, I push it a bit further. Once I jumped off the first diving board at swimming class and it was horrible. I did a belly-flop and I thought “never again”. I suppose that’s a physical example: I didn’t trust the teacher or myself and it self-actualised, it was a horrible experience.
Through my career I’ve learned that people can present to you a persona that is highly wonderful and you can trust them, but you can’t read the thought bubbles in their head, so you don’t know if what they’re doing can be trusted or if you’re going to be empowered or disempowered in that process. It takes time to not just understand what they want you to do but also if they’re working in your best interest. Only by experience will you find that out.
Sometimes you just have to make a leap of faith. I made a choice on the 31st March 2017 at 10:50am to either stay in my life as it was until I decided not to, or did I choose to invest in myself, in my learning and the subject that I was interested in to change my life. I gave myself 30 minutes to make that decision and as I sat there I felt my hormones rising and I took that leap of faith and went with it. I’m now further than I thought I could have been.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Sometimes saying “just do as you’re told” comes from a place of exasperation. But who is it easier for?’

‘To know we’re not to do it is not to know. If we don’t know somebody, what evidence is there to trust them?’

‘Be complacent, do as you’re told and follow whatever they tell you. It’s much harder to do as you’re told by yourself because if you don’t trust yourself you’ve got a lot of little discussions in your head, so it’s a lot easier to do what other people say and when it doesn't work out you’ll soon find out.’

One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.  He definitely subscribes to being one of those mentioned the iconic ‘Think Different’ Apple commercial narrated by Steve Jobs in 1977:

“Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules.  You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do!”

His World Game-Changers podcast embraces a mutually-respectful conversational style, with guests that are deemed ‘Unsung Heroes’ – selfless, dedicated people that contribute to the betterment of the world, in whatever way they can…


“Remember: The World’s Changing…

How Will YOU Respond?”
