Let's do it.
Let's practice speaking english with some life mastery lessons.
Now the topic is life doesn't come with a script.
I wish it did, but it doesn't all right, english speaking practice with a book summary, and today's book summary is called improv wisdom don't prepare, just show up.
This book is written by Patricia Ryan Madsen.
Now, what is this book about?
Here is the description.
It's a warm, practical, and philosophy rich guide.
Philosophy rich.
Ooh, I like that.
If something's rich, that means it's full of something.
So if it's philosophy rich, that means it's full of philosophy.
So it's a warm, practical, and philosophy-rich guide that distills 30 years of improv teaching.
Distills.
Do you know that word, distills?
That means to boil something down, to extract something.
You take a lot of something and you boil it down to something very important, I guess you could say.
You can distill something down.
A distillery is where they make alcohol, by the way.
They boil it down until they get alcohol.
For example, you get maple syrup. and you boil it slowly and you extract just the pure maple syrup all right i'm spending too much time describing distill but this philosophy rich guide distills 30 years of improv teaching so this person is a teacher of improv improv improvisation improvisation is hard to say improvisation so we shorten it to improv now improv means um spontaneous action in the moment ad-libbing without preparation you just do it you just do it improv no preparation just do it so this person distills 30 years of improv teaching into 13 simple principles for living more fully in the unscripted moments of everyday life.
Life doesn't have a script.
Unscripted moments of everyday life.
You have times in life where you don't have a script.
You just have to act.
All right, I'm going to say that again without stopping so you can see the flow.
Here I go.
It's a warm, practical and philosophy rich guide that distills 30 years of improv teaching into 13 simple principles for living more fully in the unscripted moments of everyday life.
All right, sounds like a good book.
Let's see what it says.
It's less about performing and more about being present.
Being present.
If you're present, you're fully in the moment.
You are there.
It's less about performing and more about being present.
It's less about performing and more about being present.
You say that. not sure exactly what that means.
Are you with me?
Let's keep going.
Say yes and blank.
Okay, so this is one of the concepts in the book.
It means to say yes to whatever comes and then add on to it.
In improv, usually you add on to something.
So instead of resisting what shows up, try stepping into it.
That might be some advanced English.
Do you understand that sentence?
Instead of resisting what shows up in life, try stepping into it.
Let's look at another way to say this.
Rather than instead of.
Rather than fighting against, instead of resisting what shows up, what happens, what shows up is what happens, what happens in your life.
Instead of resisting what shows up, try stepping into.
Stepping into is embracing something, accepting it, just going forward.
If you step into something, you go forward, right?
You step into it, you go forward, you embrace it, you accept it, and you do it.
So instead of resisting what shows up, try stepping into it.
Rather than fighting against what happens, try embracing it.
I'm going to say both of these again.
Join me.
Instead of resisting what shows up, try stepping into it.
Rather than fighting against what happens, try embracing it.
Good advice.
Make the most of what life gives you.
Build on what life hands you, even when it's unexpected or not what you planned.
It's kind of restating what we just covered.
Let's look at that again.
Make the most of what life gives you.
Build on what life hands you, even when it's unexpected or not what you planned.
All right.
Are you shadowing me?
Say it together with me.
Make the most of what life gives you.

Don't overprepare.
Don't overprepare.
You need to prepare, right?
It's important to prepare, but don't overprepare.
Planning is useful, but too much of it can keep you from seeing what's right in front of you.
Planning is useful, but too much of it can keep you from seeing what's right in front of you.
All right, I'm going to say it again.
Planning is useful, but too much of it can keep you from seeing what's right in front of you.
Trust the moment, stay open, and let creativity emerge as you go.
All right, emerge comes up, right?
This is kind of a restating of the same thing.
Allow creativity to flow as you move forward.

Say that.
The top.
Trust the moment.
Stay open and let creativity emerge as you go.

Just show up.
You don't have to feel perfectly ready or inspired to participate.
Okay.
Just show up.
You don't have to feel perfectly ready or inspired to participate.
Say that.
Good.
Often, simply being there, both physically and mentally, creates room for energy, ideas and motivation to appear.
So it's just simply being there, physically and mentally.
It creates room for, that means it just makes space for, it gives the opportunity for Energy.
It gives the opportunity to come up with new ideas.
It provides you with some motivation.
All you gotta do is show up.
Simply be there is showing up.
Often, simply being there, both physically and mentally, creates room for energy, ideas and motivation to appear.
Pay attention to the gifts.
Is this saying be grateful, show gratitude maybe, pay attention to the gifts of life?
Okay, here's a long sentence.
What's happening right now, whether it feels like a problem, a surprise or a small joy, can be a powerful source of insight and opportunity if you're willing to notice it again.

Mistakes matter more than perfection.

Take action, allow yourself to be imperfect.

Say that and keep moving forward.

Those messy moments are often where the real breakthroughs and good stories come from.
Messy moments.
What are messy moments?
That's moments in life that things don't go the way you plan.
If something doesn't go the way you plan, it's messy.
It's not a clean.

Bad experiences, right.
Usually that's true.
You overcome something.
