Transformational Renegade [Episode 17] Wired For Success TV[0:00:10]Melanie:
So, welcome to another episode of http://www.wiredforsuccess.tv. Today, weare interviewing A.E. Gix about his book,
Attack Life On All Fronts
. Now I think it’s safeto say, that you should buckle up for an unexpected ride today. We have no idea wherethis interview is going to go. He is good at reminding us that we take life far tooseriously. He writes about the metaphysical in a very playful way. So playful in fact that Iknow I can pick this very slim bond book up and offer it to even my most clever-mindedfriends and know that there is a really high chance that they will read it if only for agiggle.Now, this is not to say that this is a deliberately humorous book. More that in just 200pages, he touches on a broad number of serious topics from the
Big Bang
to
Law of Attraction
. He touches on the health of your physical and emotional body, relationships,money, and purpose. And his reverent challenge to you is invites you to fly in the face of everything you believe to be true about how to make your life work. In other words,you’re invited to change your fixed perspectives about what is right or wrong and havethe change be effortless, juicy and lasting.Today, we will explore with A.E. exactly how he got on the path that led him to write hisbook and get him to share the essence of his message with us. So welcome, A.E.
A.E.:
Thank you, ladies. Hello. You’re looking lovely today.
Melanie:
Well, we can’t wait to see what laughs we’re going to have today.
A.E.:
Oh dear, setting me up already for trouble. Very good, very good.
Melanie:
Before we look at the experiences that prepared the ground work for this bookand we, yeah, have a giggle all the way because we’ve never ever been able to have achat with you without it collapsing into giggles. I’d like to start by asking you to tell theaudience very briefly why you wrote the book and what its central message is.
A.E.:
Oh good, why I wrote the book. OK. There are many reasons but I’ll just get intothe few majors. The first one being, after researching a lot on self-help reading, all thebig books, hearing all of the tapes, I basically compiled down, I wouldn’t call it a systembut a series of distinctions, a series of tips and tricks and just little shifts that you canmake that make huge changes in the long run.I basically distilled and compiled all the things that I considered the best juicy pieces outof all the huge things. And I wanted to get it across as efficiently as I could to people inmy life directly, the closest to me that wanted help in all areas of life and they just
happen to see that I was doing well in said areas so they ask me, “What do I do? Whatwould you advise me to do?” So it was more or less for me a compilation. It was myown manual on how to give advice to people.So, I guess the other major reason was slightly egotistical kind of I want to save theworld and la da, da, da, da. I say it’s egotistical because I know that no one personcould save or doom the world. We’re all equally responsible for all these loveliness or allthese crap or sometimes in between that’s out there or seemingly out there anyway. And I suppose another main reason was that I felt compelled to do so. I mean I can’trationally explain to you what that meant. I mean you probably understand it already asyou feel intuitively drawn to do something and not do some other thing. So yeah, I meanthe stars aligned that I had a lot of time on my hands, had creativity coming out everypour by having nowhere to go and going out to the universe and fizzling out intonothing. So I’ve decided to take a magnifying lens and focus all these extra energy thatwas just of fire working and exploding and looking nice for a while but not leavinganything meaningful.So, another thought I had is if I die now, there would be nothing for anyone to remember me by except for embarrassing drinking stories. So I don’t want to call it a legacy, not tosound to poncy and up my own ass but just leave something behind, leave somethingthat was – that made somebody’s life even slightly marginally better than it would havebeen without it.So legacy, saving the world, advice manual for the people, and eventually the stopbeing to need to give advice to people, I don’t want to glorify laziness. I just want toprove that even with someone as lazy as me, you could still do something and seesomething through to the end. And that’s another reason why I wrote it to be able toprove to myself that I can actually start a project which I always have five projects onthe go and they always get to about halfway done and then they just plateau. And Iknow a lot of people who can relate to that. And yeah, so I finally saw it through to the end and it took about a year and threemonths until – from conception to – and someone will look and go, “It took you that longto write just this much?” But it was about one a half times bigger than that. And then Ibasically put it in a pot and reduced it and stirred and simmered until only the lovelygoodness, the very true essence was left behind.So – what I mean is that I might have put a lot of effort into it but the genuine promise of more laziness was another key factor because now, I don’t have to look up the manualto give people advice. I just go, “Here’s a book.” That’s all I knew at that point and Imight make a couple of notes in it for you since one of the things I’ve learned since thenwhich we’ll touch upon a bit later, but yeah. So it was that whole plethora of things, startaligning, et cetera, all conspired for me to do it.
