The Comeback. Shane Hodge
or does not match the script that would give me the chance to have a leading role in a Comeback. Even when it came to my Golf, my script for the driver went something like “Oh No if I use that thing the ball will go 50 Meters straight then 150 Metres to the right! And for that reason I left the driver in the bag and used a three Iron.
Business, family, all of our roles in life have a script, some great, some not so great. The great we can leave alone but for the not so great it is time to call CUT.
I could ask you now to take a good look at yourself and write down every role in your life and the scripts that you have written or thought for them, but I have found that all mountains are climbed one step at a time so let’s conquer your mountain with that method.
Before we get to write our current script I have to let you into a little secret, humans are really good at telling lies to themselves! I know you’re shocked but it happens when we are posed that question: “Now be totally honest with yourself”!
We tend to be driven by DHL (Not the delivery Company) I call it the Department of Human Lying! Now your DHL sits in the front of our brain so it’s located in a shallow place that really doesn’t make much progress in YOU development. A Typical DHL Script looks like this:
Comeback Role: Father
DHL Script for that Role:
I didn’t leave my kids I left their Mum, I send them Money every month, I call them for birthdays and Christmas, and they are older now they don’t need me as much. The older they get the more they will understand the situation and want to see me more, plenty of time.
Where we really want to get to is our FedEx, (Feelings, Emotions, Desires, Experiance Xcuses) to deliver our current script, so where is the FedEx part of our brain?
Well it’s the part that is deep deep back hiding in the shadows. It’s the part we have trouble visiting and exploring, as it is the action centre. When we start to get to this back section and we start to make moves our FedEx becomes like the real FedEx and “we live to deliver”.
I have found a good way to reach my FedEx, let me share it with you. First thing is I write my DHL version script for the Comeback Role I’m searching for in my life which is driven in most cases by what I feel I have to write, then I close my eyes and I let my imagination take over. I imagine I’m walking down the street and all of a sudden I get a tap on the shoulder and it’s a guy dressed in the Blue Uniform of FedEx, he has that little Computer in his hand and an overnight document satchel, he asks me if I’m Shane Hodge and I say yes, then he asks me to sign the little machine screen, hands me the satchel and says“Congratulations this is Your FedEx Life as a father”
I’m so excited, I open up the satchel and there it is my real life script, all my True Feelings, Emotions, Desires, Experiences, Xcuses and has been delivered to me in a sealed envelope that nobody has opened before. It’s all me, it’s all there for me to see, warts and all. Can you imagine that? Can you see it in your mind’s eye? What truths are written there? What is really and truthfully the Feelings, Emotions, Desires, Experience and Xcuses that have been holding you back? It’s not a pleasant moment, but for a Sensational Comeback FedEx must be faced.
Can you write them down today?
Or you can put the book down and do it right now, what part of your life what role would you really want to see a Comeback performance? And what is the FedEx script for that role right now?
Again just a little help:
Comeback Role: Father
FedEx Script: I really miss my kids and in fact I did leave them but I want to spend quality time with them but after all this time I just don’t know how. Sure I send them money but I want to be with them and share time with them, I want to see how they are doing and what they are doing, I want to share their interests, get to know their friends. I want them to be part of my life see what I do and enjoy it with me. I want to be more than a phone call and a cheque in the mail - I want to be a Dad.
Can you see the Feelings? Emotion? Desires? Experience? And Xcuses?
So what does FedEx do for us? It rewrites the script! It calls CUT to the current Direction and starts to create a script of what we really WANT.
I used the Father Comeback role, but you decide which role it is you desire a Comeback. It can be as a Partner, it can be your career, it can be your health but what ends up with your FedEx is Honesty.
With the dishonesty of your DHL out of the way and your FedEx in place you are well on your way to your Comeback. The new script is just the beginning of your blockbuster, and congratulations on that. Wow it’s exciting and yes it’s tough but how great will you feel when you walk up to the Microphone of life and yell at the top of your Voice.
I know I have been away for a awhile but, YESSSSSS I’m on my way back!
IN fact scream that out right now at the top of your voice, I’M ON MY WAY BACKKKKKKK
You feel better now? Ralph Waldo Emerson once said: “Whatever games are played with us, we must play no games with ourselves”.
That’s a wonderful quote about being honest with ourselves. Do you ever wonder how much time you waste in life by working on the dishonesty of a DHL life? Not facing up and enjoying the truth? One of things I loved most about my Mum was how she faced the truth. She never asked the Doctor to hold back on any news good or bad, but I know that in our daily lives we seem to have “avoidance” disease, we don’t like to hear the truth and we don’t want to give it much either.
If there was one single lesson I have learnt in life of what seperates the Champions from everybody else? It would be the ability to accept and act upon the truth. If I could document all the greatest coaches I have met or read about in my life (another book?) I would say the greatest attribute they have in helping people achieve high performance? Is the ability they have to be totally honest to those that they train.
Let me state it again, the Comeback is not about fame and fortune it’s about you and me and the things that matter - Life, Love, Relationships and mine and your desire to be a World Champion in those fields. Why? Because if you’re a Champion in those areas, you will have the added bonus of succeeding in so many other areas.
With the honesty of your FedEx Script you are on your way back, now let’s move forward.
