The Social Seed Podcast

Welcome Back

Hello and thank you for reading today’s podcast. My name is Tom, I am the host and creator of The Social Seed.

Every week I will read a piece of literature I feel will inspire your mind, feed your soul and elevate your life!

This is a poem I was inspired to create after I started reading The 5 AM Club. I call it “The Legend”.

“Be the Bee buzzing around, pollinating people with knowledge abound, creating fruit for all to feed, curing the world with a social seed.”

This has become my mantra. To inspire individuals with weekly words of wisdom for a more happy and productive life. More importantly -a better world!

My Current Events

At the end of my last episodes current events, I was leaving Mayreau and heading towards the Tobago Cays which were a 3 mile sail and still in St. Vincent and the Grenedines. We were in the Tobago Cays for one day, anchored in 12 feet of clear blue water with white sand and surrounded by reef. To make the most of our day, we dinghied with friends to Petit Tabac Island. There we spent the afternoon on the south endof the beach, under a tent, with waves crashing from three sides. We let the kids snorkel and play in the waves while we chatted away and laughed. An interesting fact about this island is that this is where Johnny Depp, in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” was left and all his rum was lit on fire to make a smoke signal to be found.

The next morning some of us kayaked, hiked, and snorkeled. By noon we were on a 23 mile sail to Bequia. We arrived around 5 p.m. and saw Sarah and Jesse from S/V Kialoua. We hadn’t spent much time with since Luperon the previous hurricane season. Although they were leaving at 4 a.m. the next morning. It was still nice to catch up, even if it was a brief period of time. The water in Bequia, Admiralty Bay is clear as well but it is hard to anchor in due to the hardness of the bottom. This is where I will leave off for this weeks current events!

Let’s read today’s Words of Wisdom and see if it is the seed that will grow inside of you and inspire your life!

Words Of Wisdom

Today’s Words of Wisdom were written by Robin Sharma from the book “The 5AM Club.

The Billionaire’s Maxim #1. To Create Magic in the World, Own the Magic within Yourself. Look in the mirror. Your relationship with you predicts your relationship with the world. Remember that you have a primitive longing for silence and solitude—and that it is in quietude that self-awareness rises. French mathematician Blaise Pascal wrote: “All of humanity’s problems stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone.” Release your need for complexity and immerse yourself in the stillness only the early morning can provide so you get to know yourself again. Because a flight from solitude really is an escape from freedom. To become an everyday magician, so your life is rich with passion, plenty and peace, grow more comfortable being still. So you start to hear the whispers of the great genius who slumbers within you. In restfulness, you’ll remember all you truly are. You’ll reaccess that supreme self, abundant with creativity, potency, invincibility and a love that has no conditions. In this sanctuary of silence, you will also be afforded something so rare in this age: time for yourself to be. And the more you do so, the more you’ll discover how life really works. You’ll also begin to differentiate between your beliefs that are merely cultural constraints and those that are actual truths. And between the trustworthy voice of your intuition and the persuasive pronouncements of your fears. In solitude, you’ll also receive the disruptive insights that will transform your field.

The Social Seed Commentary

This reading is the premise of the 5AM Club. The book has so much more to offer but here is a piece. If every morning you are able to have some quiet time, free from distractions, where you are able to concentrate on your life, and think about who you really are and what you want your life to be. You’ll be able to bring what is most important to you into focus. I believe you will find a better direction to use your skills and time and find “living each day” in a whole new light, I have!
If you are in a quite room with some time after this podcast reading, get into a comfortable position, close your eyes, think about this reading and apply it to your life. See how you feel. If you feel the inspiration, imagine feeling this way everyday! Also, whenever you have some quiet time again, don’t surf on your phone, surf yourself, it will give you better lasting results!
