*Disclaimer at Bottom*
Howdy Folks!  Welcome to Episode 17 of Great Ideas With Great Minds; Flexible Discipline.  Today we are looking at how Flexible Discipline can help you work towards your goals (i.e. fitness, health, financial, spiritual, relationship, etc.) without losing track of the present. On the scale of order and chaos, it is tempting to favor one way over another.  However, without balance, the individual weaknesses of flexibility and discipline are likely to outweigh their strengths.  By combining flexibility and discipline, we enable ourselves to make plans that can adapt to unexpected changes, thereby creating routines that hold up to the chaos of day-to-day life.  

More Info:

About Great Ideas With Great Minds (GIWGM): 
Howdy!  My name is Peter Strobel and I am inviting you to join me on a mission of discovery.  If you have ever had great ideas that you put off or were too afraid to pursue, then this is the series for you.  Instead of pursuing individual success, Great Ideas With Great Minds (GIWGM) promotes growth through collaboration.
If fear of competition and worrying about others stealing your ideas has kept you from sharing your genius with the world, I ask you to reconsider that mindset.  To serve as an example, I am using this YouTube series to broadcast inventions and ideas that I am tinkering.  The only catch is that I have not finished any of these ideas yet, so, if you want to beat me to the punch, more power to you!  I do not claim patents or copyright or any other form of protective ownership on these ideas.  It is my hope that, by throwing ideas out to others, we can all move forward together.  
If I lack the money, talent, time or motivation to do something, odds are that someone else has one or all of the above.  Dare to be original, but, if you are struggling for ideas, why not use others for inspiration?  Although every academic and professional standard frowns upon "copying", we do not have to follow that standard.  If you can take someone's idea and push it forward to the next level, that is not copying; it is the emergence of originality. 
If you like this episode, stay tuned for more in the future.  I am going to try to release a new video every week, but we shall see what free time and new ideas emerge from.  Have a great day

*Disclaimer*
Although I claim every invention as an original thought, I cannot claim sole credit, because, odds are that someone has thought of, or is thinking of it as well (If you have an eye for details, you will notice that all GIWGM videos have a Creative Common - Attribution License, instead of the Standard YouTube license.  In keeping with the ideals of transparent competition, this allows for you, the viewer, to have greater flexibility in the use of this content).  That is why I am not seeking to profit or promote myself off of this.  By keeping this process free, I am offering the chance for you to profit and progress if you so choose.  If I want anything out of this, it is for others to adopt this model of openness and pursue more advanced collaboration.  
To keep myself honest, I will never ask you to like, subscribe, or share any of my content.  I will also refrain from advertising products.  The only sources I will advertise are other YouTubers or channels who are following this sample of collaboration (If you have comments about your own thoughts and inventions that you want to be promoted, I will include those as well).  It would be nice to become a YouTube millionaire, but, in keeping with the original purpose of this media medium, profit and individual fame are unimportant.  The free sharing of ideas and collective inspiration is more powerful and profitable than any individual path.  If you ever feel that I am violating any of these terms, feel free to let me know. 
To uphold the idea of Transparent Competition, the only thing that I ask is that anyone and everyone who uses this content and ideas does so with the intention of helping empower others.  I cannot stop anyone from copying these ideas and using them for their own gain. 
However, I take the risk of transparent competition and hope that my example might inspire a new degree of collaboration and transparency. Thank you*
