life can be brutal life can be
unforgiving if I had to sum up in one
word the difference between the greats
and the average the difference between
the successful and the nobodies of the
world one word one attribute to describe
the difference discipline if you don’t
have the discipline you can forget about
the trophy you can forget about the
success the greatness all champions have
discipline it’s the discipline to work
you know not when everyone is watching
but when no one is watching when the
fans aren’t there what the coach isn’t
there what it’s just you and your
character the discipline to eat strong
healthy foods when you have other
tempting options when those around you
might not be so strong the discipline to
say no when those around you choose to
be average the discipline to keep going
when it hurts because life doesn’t give
you what you want it gives you what you
deserve and if you haven’t worked for if
you haven’t sacrificed for it if you
haven’t given your all then you don’t
deserve and you won’t get it push
through the pain on the other side is
broke when pain comes that means it’s
time to show character show me your
character remain discipline stay strong
when it all seems hopeless keep plugging
away
nothing can stop you if you don’t stop
for anything don’t stop for anything
never break your discipline remain
faithful to yourself and your vision
when he gets painful push harder
push through the pain
you gotta have the discipline to do a
lift when your opponent stopped a team
the discipline to keep going when it
hurts because life doesn’t give you what
you walked it gives you what you deserve
and if you haven’t worked for it if you
haven’t sacrificed for it if you haven’t
given your all then you don’t deserve
and you won’t get show your character
remain disciplined stay strong
don’t say what the pain don’t say why me
say try me say is that all you’ve got
give me long keep plugging away when
there seems to be no hope of victory
when you don’t see the results hang in
there be strong be brave
you have the same amount of time as
the question is how will you use it what
if the goal was to grow you starting
today invest in yourself can you be the
person who feels successful inside and
out
there is a place in life where your
growth and the impact you can have in
this world come together we often get
caught scanning the horizon searching
for what’s next and we forget to look at
what’s right now which is you that’s the
thing about this world that’s the thing
about change it will not slow down it
will keep spiraling and spiraling around
you get in the eye of that storm if you
let yourself recognize it that’s where
you stand I know the pressures of life
will pull you you know it too
so what have you focused on the thing
that will not change the core of who you
time is the great equalizer the most
incredible people the world has ever
seen had to work with the same amount of
hours in their day as you mother Teresa
Leonardo da Vinci Einstein Oprah they
shaped their life one minute at a time
so what if the minutes in your life were
poured into the pursuits that allowed
you to be at your best so if you’re
ready take on the challenge
rise up and see yourself in new light
focus on yourself
not to be selfish this doesn’t mean the
world is only about you it’s exactly the
opposite the world is waiting for you to
level up how can you use your life’s
work to do something special
investing yourself is not about pulling
things bull sweetie it’s about pushing
yourself to a higher threshold that’s
how this works
you decide
you make the same decision a million
times over and over again you choose to
grow you choose to learn you choose to
push the barriers you are creating for
yourself that is what’s out there on the
horizon moment by moment choice by
choice being the you you know you can be
when I was young I did not know who and
what I wanted to be and so I was
influenced by the things that I’ve seen
with my eyes and what I seen with my
eyes is what I wanted to become why do
you think you need to wait until you get
a little older to become the things that
you want to become in life the problem
is not making money because at some
point we’re all gonna make some money
the problem is what do you do when you
make your money eventually we’re gonna
get old real old and it’s about you it’s
about you so this is what I want to
leave which leave you with when you make
the decision and I want everybody to
hear me on this even the adults in the
room when you make the decision to do
what you want to do with your life just
know this because the family
and the friends in your life do not
share your vision in most cases they
will be the first person to try and talk
you out of what you want to do with your
life but know this only those that can
see the invisible can do the impossible
so because you don’t because they don’t
see what you see does it mean that
you’re supposed to settle and not do the
things that God has sent you in your
mind in your spirit because if you don’t
control pain
in a control you we all have different
talents some of you will be doctors some
lawyers some scientists some educated
some nurses some preachers the most
selfish thing you can do in this world
is help someone else why is it selfish
because the gratification the goodness
that comes to you the good feeling the
good feeling that I get from helping
others nothing’s better than that that’s
where the success is true desire in the
heart that itch that you have whatever
it is you want to do that thing that you
want to do to help others into to grow
and to make money that desire that itch
that’s proof to you sit beforehand
already to indicate that it’s yours
and anything you want good you can have
so claim it work hard to get it
when you get it reach back pull someone
else up each one teach one I think the
greatest of people that have ever been
in society they were never versions of
someone else they were themselves it’s
the great tragedy people employed in
ways that don’t fully tap everything
they do best in life you don’t think
about Michael Jordan the basketball
player and say oh he was just like this
other player no you don’t even say he
was like this player plus that player
divided by two plus it doesn’t know he’s
I hope you’ll turn toward the problem of
your choosing I hope you’ll drop
everything and I hope you’ll solve it
this is your life this is your moment
and it is all down to you always gets
worse before it gets better
it’s supposed to be that way then
journey you’re embarking on here with
ft28
is not an easy path it’s not for the el
jardín of a big nature it’s for the
strong people before you embark on this
journey mentally you have to carry
yourself for it no one is gonna get
worse before it gets better
when you mark this journey you must know
that it’s gonna go down before it comes
up but when it comes up it’s gonna go so
much higher than you’ve ever been
sacrificing today for tomorrow’s
betterment sharpen your arsenal for
protection of what you can be but if you
didn’t know that mentally you can
prepare for that I think something’s
wrong maybe it’s time to stop those time
the movie and further you have to be
equipped mentally to endure this process
knowing what you’re about to go into a
step walk knowing it’s an uphill battle
but a winnable one and one that’s
achievable at the end of this race guys
you’re going to be more capable the
first step guys is knowing it’s a tough
road
but through that effort it builds a
character the person you want to be at
the end
except that how else do you stay on
track we document everything
to know where we are guys you must
person to will read don’t get caught up
in well I’ve tried it four or five times
and things didn’t work out if there’s
something that you want and you have
hungry for it you’ve got to do whatever
is necessary until and when you give the
best you can and that’s not enough you
must do what is required and don’t give
up on yourself don’t throw the towel in
so quickly many people give up on the
one-yard line
don’t just aspire to make a living
aspire to make a difference
they were never versions of someone else
they were themselves if no one thinks
you’re crazy you’re not yet operating to
the outer limits of your potential
[Music]
doesn’t matter how old you are you can’t
blame your gender doesn’t matter where
are you from doesn’t have matter how
smart you are doesn’t matter what your
personality is doesn’t matter how many
strengths you have or what your
strengths profile is at all doesn’t
matter how creative you are or
empathetic doesn’t matter how many years
of experience and doesn’t matter how
much you get paid you can’t blame them
any more the data doesn’t prove it out
now some people say well Brendan Brendan
Brendan those things must matter I’ve
seen studies no I’m not saying those
things don’t matter many of those things
are very important especially at certain
parts of your life but in high
performance it’s not the study of
initial success okay initial success is
nice and it’s not the study of peak
performance either because at the
poverty is a valley I think people are
tired of the ups and downs in life and
they want that steady path to growth I’m
the creator but it’s not what made me a
high performer there are a lot of people
who are creative who can’t organize
their way out of box there’s a lot of
people who are also empathetic deeply
caring but they can’t get stuff done
there are a lot of people who are
extroverted who also push away people
so we can’t say that any of those things
lead to long-term success but when we
get it right everything changes
high performers are more successful than
their peers in almost every category of
measurement you could take whether how
much they earn what they do how far they
succeed in their own industry etc
they’re also less stressed more success
only stresses you out when you don’t
have the habits to handle it
don’t fear success get better habits
that’s all high performers are prolific
in their field no matter what that means
if they’re a salesperson it’s more sales
calls right if they’re an artist it’s
more paintings if it’s a musician is
Beethoven
right it’s just cranking out the product
that matters in your area of expertise
they work passionately whether you pay
them high or not because they’re driven
by intrinsic motivations the care the
passion the art the the fulfillment of
what they do they’re admired and they’re
adaptive they change faster they make
decisions faster they’re happier than
most people they’re healthier than most
people they get better grades and they
also feel appreciated about their work
that there’s no loneliness at the top
they feel like people appreciate them
understand how hard they work and they
feel rewarded for it in other words a
lot of these people you might not
initially like these people are
extraordinary but not by accident and
not by birthright buy habits we proved
it
there’s 11 effective habits that makes a
person successful in general but when we
tried to bust it down and we’ve said
look can we prove that they’re doing it
on purpose
can we prove can we watch it and observe
it and track it and measure it can we
change it that’s what malleable means is
it trainable meaning can they get better
at it and we can show it and does it
work across domains it works for you
your team your brother your sister your
mother your grandparents everybody that
you can it work across life is it
Universal in other words was our
question that broke it down then to only
six habits which I’ll show you with you
now the first one seek clarity high
performers seek clarity before they do
almost anything they don’t get clarity
as if one day in life they wake up and
everything
perfectly clear they know exactly what
to do no it’s not get clarity it’s see
Clary they are consistently seeking
clarity more than anybody else many you
guys know I’ve been blessed to do some
online courses with Oprah Winfrey and
one thing I love about her is every
meeting she starts her first question in
all the meetings after hi how you doin
‘he’s our what’s our intention for this
meeting what’s the intention for this
meeting
she’s seat before the meeting starts she
wants them not what’s the agenda who’s
talking about what’s the intention what
are we trying to do here that’s seeking
clarity we found that high performers
look to the future more than the general
population
by over 70% in a positive frame meaning
they look to tomorrow and they say who
can I be how do I want to interact with
people what skills do I need to develop
how do I want to serve they’re seeking
clarity in those ways and now we all
seek clarity high performers do it more
often common sense is not always common
practice and that’s why so many
potentially great people fail to ever
reach their full potential common sense
is not always common practice high
performers have made seeking clarity a
common practice they also generate
tremendous amounts of energy by will
they generate energy they like they fire
themselves up but it’s not just
generating energy by will in every
measure mentally emotionally and
physically high performers peak out over
the general population by almost 70%
they deal with stress 70% better they’re
in better physical shape for their age
it’s just like they it’s not by accident
they’re generating the energy they need
to serve in the world they’re not
waiting for it see a power plant takes
energy from one area transforms it into
a different form of energy stores it
then transmits it
high performers do the same thing they
don’t hope one day they’re gonna be
satisfied they make themselves feel
satisfied they don’t hope to find peace
after they’ve accomplished everything as
they’re accomplishing they’re making
themselves find peace they don’t have
you know wait for it like Christmas to
bring them joy they into each moment
bring the joy they raise their sense of
necessity in one way it means they have
higher emotional commitment they stoke
necessity necessity means the difference
between I should do it I’d like to do it
versus I must do it
I know you guys are in personal
development and you’ve heard this a
million times it’s just that high
performers do it every morning they’re
aware of what must I do today to move
the needle forward they’re very clear on
what they really must do to progress and
they do it and they do it because
they’ve associated their internal
identity with their external obligations
so they know my internal standards and
values line up to make me go there and
they’ve set up their external life so
that there’s deadlines and duty to other
people it’s why the military is so high
performing duty right internal standard
I’m a soldier
external standard duty to my country
identity external RAM together then you
have to do it they do that on purpose
mentally start figuring out right now
what we call PQ o PQ o stands for
prolific quality output high performers
have figured out what would make them
not only effective but sometimes wealthy
sometimes well-known sometimes more well
respected by figuring out what’s the
quality output that really matters and
then they go all-in it’s the story of
Steve Jobs coming back to Apple after he
was fired and seeing over 20 product
lines and saying this is too much clear
the deck says that we’re gonna focus on
these five things
that’s it that’s what brought us via
first iPod than the iPhone than the iPad
then the Mac Pro like all that build was
because he came any clear houses what is
our P Q oh I didn’t use that language
but that’s essentially what we found all
high performers actually do they figure
out what’s the stuff that we need to
produce the root of productivity is
produce so busy work is not the same as
your life’s work you got to figure out
your life’s or what is the things that
you need to create that will shift and
change everything and leave your legacy
[Music]
high performers actively consistently
are seeking to develop influence with
people and they work so hard at it
they’re very very conscious of how
they’re impacting their kids how they’re
impacting their friends how they’re
impacting the world around them they’re
doing it on purpose to there they want
to be role models think about anybody
who’s ever been influential in your life
who’s been the most positively
influential person in your life for a
moment think about that and once you
have that I guarantee you I can tell you
exactly why they were influential
because our studies proved it out what
makes somebody influential number one I
bet that person who made such a
difference in your life they taught you
how to think influential people are
telling you how to think about yourself
sometimes about your relationships
sometimes about how you contribute
sometimes how to think second thing they
didn’t they challenged
they challenge what you contributed what
you gave what you were capable of they
said you’re better than this young woman
you’re better than this young man you
got more Enya come on let’s go they push
they challenged and third they role
modeled the way they role modeled the
high performers demonstrate more courage
than most people they demonstrate more
courage than most people these six
habits change everything but this last
piece is so highly correlated with high
performance you got to get it
demonstrating courage means it is time
for you to tell your family what you
really think need believe dream of same
with your team same with your spouse all
the holding back of what you really want
in life in silence there is suffering
high performers share what they really
want of life because if you can’t share
it you can’t get it out there you can’t
attract it you can’t move it high
performers deeply care about sharing
what’s true for them and they’re willing
to step into uncertainty even when they
don’t know what to do maybe someone’s
gonna reject you if you start your dream
no likely somebody is going to reject
you but either you can look in the cave
of an uncertain ego I don’t want to go
in I’m so scared I’m so scared to go
what’s this gonna be like and you wander
in with a flashlight of curiosity and
you say on what this could be and now
your curiosity starts looking like
courage and goes wow you got a lot of
guts and no you’re just being curious
again sometimes allowing yourself to put
yourself out there and start asking more
questions that’s courage too but at the
end of the day we’ve got to take more
action
[Music]
today is a new day today is a day for
you to begin creating a joyous
today is the day to begin to release all
your limitations today is the day for
you to learn the secrets of life you can
change your life for the better you
already have the tools within you to do
your first goal when you open up your
eyes should be to focus on the things
that ignite your spirit and bring you
joy I want you to focus on the things
that you appreciate in your life the
things that you’re grateful for I don’t
you control what’s in your container you
control what you think about what you
choose to allow in
people don’t want to hear the truth they
don’t want to deal with reality – why
because it’s too tough everyone has the
ability to change the story
everything that you guys want is outside
your comfort zone all the results all
the growth or potential who you really
are
it’s there waiting for you but most
people they don’t really want to grow
they don’t really want to change they
don’t really want the results they only
wanted if it’s easy if it’s comfortable
if it’s within that realm of comfort and
they don’t have to face their fears they
don’t have to go through the stresses
and anxieties and overcome their
limitations in life and that’s why most
people will never have it they’ll never
change I’ll stay the same and never get
the results that it really wants you can
do more that voice in your head if
you’re the only one that hears it is it
real you got to make it you got to give
it you got to give it a life okay you
got to give it a life you got to hang
with the right people get mentored by
the right people study the right people
stay on the course stay on the path no
matter how bad it is today
we knew we had to make it happen not
getting it done was not an option we had
to make it happen
and we all have negative emotions
negative feelings do you have to make
the choice I’m not going to give this
jealousy this bitterness this anger
valuable space and let it poison my life
I’m going to protect what I allow in me
now today this moment you can choose to
change your thinking it won’t turn
around overnight but if you are
consistent and daily make the choice to
think thoughts that make you feel good
you will definitely make positive
changes in every area of your life you
may be in a difficult time you feel like
you’re being pulled back this is not the
time to get discouraged I don’t
understand it why did this happen
no the right attitude is I’m coming back
stronger you are going to get what
you’re looking for so if you’re looking
for success you’re looking for happiness
you’re looking for prospects you’re
looking for recruits or clients I’m
telling you the more you’re consciously
looking for those things you’re going to
see that when you’re looking to win
you’re looking for victory if you
right there and then you have an
opportunity to steer your thoughts and
your emotions in the direction that you
want them to go not in the direction
that they’re telling you to go in other
words you can literally choose to seize
I believe that there are two types of
people in this world there are dreamers
and then there are doers the people that
are willing to take action to make the
world happen
I truly believe that all of us inside
all of us we all have what it takes to
do and to take action and to create
change in this world
[Music]
passion is a result passion is an energy
passion is the feeling you have when
you’re engaged in something that you
love passion is the feeling you have
that you would probably do this for free
you know and you can’t believe somebody
pays you to do it you know and I think
we mistake that passion is something we
do in our private lives but it shouldn’t
be done you know in our careers for
example and I’m a firm believer that you
are who you are and anybody who says I’m
different at home than I am at work and
one of those two places you’re lying and
the goal is to make everything you do in
home and at work something that you have
excitement to do so how do you find the
things that you’re excited to do well
it’s actually easier than you think what
are the things that you love to do what
are the things that you would do for
free your life is in your hands
100% and I don’t care what anyone tells
you I don’t care what’s happening to you
right now your life is always in your hands
life can be brutal life can be
unforgiving if I had to sum up in one

hungry for it you’ve got to do whatever
is necessary until and when you give the
best you can and that’s not enough you
must do what is required and don’t give
up on yourself don’t throw the towel in
so quickly many people give up on the
one-yard line
don’t just aspire to make a living
aspire to make a difference
they were never versions of someone else
they were themselves if no one thinks
you’re crazy you’re not yet operating to
the outer limits of your potential
[Music]
doesn’t matter how old you are you can’t
blame your gender doesn’t matter where
are you from doesn’t have matter how
smart you are doesn’t matter what your
personality is doesn’t matter how many
strengths you have or what your
strengths profile is at all doesn’t
matter how creative you are or
empathetic doesn’t matter how many years
of experience and doesn’t matter how
much you get paid you can’t blame them
any more the data doesn’t prove it out
now some people say well Brendan Brendan
Brendan those things must matter I’ve
seen studies no I’m not saying those
things don’t matter many of those things
are very important especially at certain
parts of your life but in high
performance it’s not the study of
initial success okay initial success is
nice and it’s not the study of peak
performance either because at the
poverty is a valley I think people are
tired of the ups and downs in life and
they want that steady path to growth I’m
the creator but it’s not what made me a
high performer there are a lot of people
who are creative who can’t organize
their way out of box there’s a lot of
people who are also empathetic deeply
caring but they can’t get stuff done
there are a lot of people who are
extroverted who also push away people
so we can’t say that any of those things
lead to long-term success but when we
get it right everything changes
high performers are more successful than
their peers in almost every category of
measurement you could take whether how
much they earn what they do how far they
succeed in their own industry etc
they’re also less stressed more success
only stresses you out when you don’t
have the habits to handle it
don’t fear success get better habits
that’s all high performers are prolific
in their field no matter what that means
if they’re a salesperson it’s more sales
calls right if they’re an artist it’s
more paintings if it’s a musician is
Beethoven
right it’s just cranking out the product
that matters in your area of expertise
they work passionately whether you pay
them high or not because they’re driven
by intrinsic motivations the care the
passion the art the the fulfillment of
what they do they’re admired and they’re
adaptive they change faster they make
decisions faster they’re happier than
most people they’re healthier than most
people they get better grades and they
also feel appreciated about their work
that there’s no loneliness at the top
they feel like people appreciate them
understand how hard they work and they
feel rewarded for it in other words a
lot of these people you might not
initially like these people are
extraordinary but not by accident and
not by birthright buy habits we proved
it
there’s 11 effective habits that makes a
person successful in general but when we
tried to bust it down and we’ve said
look can we prove that they’re doing it
on purpose
can we prove can we watch it and observe
it and track it and measure it can we
change it that’s what malleable means is
it trainable meaning can they get better
at it and we can show it and does it
work across domains it works for you
your team your brother your sister your
mother your grandparents everybody that
you can it work across life is it
Universal in other words was our
question that broke it down then to only
six habits which I’ll show you with you
now the first one seek clarity high
performers seek clarity before they do
almost anything they don’t get clarity
as if one day in life they wake up and
everything
perfectly clear they know exactly what
to do no it’s not get clarity it’s see
Clary they are consistently seeking
clarity more than anybody else many you
guys know I’ve been blessed to do some
online courses with Oprah Winfrey and
one thing I love about her is every
meeting she starts her first question in
all the meetings after hi how you doin
‘he’s our what’s our intention for this
meeting what’s the intention for this
meeting
she’s seat before the meeting starts she
wants them not what’s the agenda who’s
talking about what’s the intention what
are we trying to do here that’s seeking
clarity we found that high performers
look to the future more than the general
population
by over 70% in a positive frame meaning
they look to tomorrow and they say who
can I be how do I want to interact with
people what skills do I need to develop
how do I want to serve they’re seeking
clarity in those ways and now we all
seek clarity high performers do it more
often common sense is not always common
practice and that’s why so many
potentially great people fail to ever
reach their full potential common sense
is not always common practice high
performers have made seeking clarity a
common practice they also generate
tremendous amounts of energy by will
they generate energy they like they fire
themselves up but it’s not just
generating energy by will in every
measure mentally emotionally and
physically high performers peak out over
the general population by almost 70%
they deal with stress 70% better they’re
in better physical shape for their age
it’s just like they it’s not by accident
they’re generating the energy they need
to serve in the world they’re not
waiting for it see a power plant takes
energy from one area transforms it into
a different form of energy stores it
then transmits it
high performers do the same thing they
don’t hope one day they’re gonna be
satisfied they make themselves feel
satisfied they don’t hope to find peace
after they’ve accomplished everything as
they’re accomplishing they’re making
themselves find peace they don’t have
you know wait for it like Christmas to
bring them joy they into each moment
bring the joy they raise their sense of
necessity in one way it means they have
higher emotional commitment they stoke
necessity necessity means the difference
between I should do it I’d like to do it
versus I must do it
I know you guys are in personal
development and you’ve heard this a
million times it’s just that high
performers do it every morning they’re
aware of what must I do today to move
the needle forward they’re very clear on
what they really must do to progress and
they do it and they do it because
they’ve associated their internal
identity with their external obligations
so they know my internal standards and
values line up to make me go there and
they’ve set up their external life so
that there’s deadlines and duty to other
people it’s why the military is so high
performing duty right internal standard
I’m a soldier
external standard duty to my country
identity external RAM together then you
have to do it they do that on purpose
mentally start figuring out right now
what we call PQ o PQ o stands for
prolific quality output high performers
have figured out what would make them
not only effective but sometimes wealthy
sometimes well-known sometimes more well
respected by figuring out what’s the
quality output that really matters and
then they go all-in it’s the story of
Steve Jobs coming back to Apple after he
was fired and seeing over 20 product
lines and saying this is too much clear
the deck says that we’re gonna focus on
these five things
that’s it that’s what brought us via
first iPod than the iPhone than the iPad
then the Mac Pro like all that build was
because he came any clear houses what is
our P Q oh I didn’t use that language
but that’s essentially what we found all
high performers actually do they figure
out what’s the stuff that we need to
produce the root of productivity is
produce so busy work is not the same as
your life’s work you got to figure out
your life’s or what is the things that
you need to create that will shift and
change everything and leave your legacy
[Music]
high performers actively consistently
are seeking to develop influence with
people and they work so hard at it
they’re very very conscious of how
they’re impacting their kids how they’re
impacting their friends how they’re
impacting the world around them they’re
doing it on purpose to there they want
to be role models think about anybody
who’s ever been influential in your life
who’s been the most positively
influential person in your life for a
moment think about that and once you
have that I guarantee you I can tell you
exactly why they were influential
because our studies proved it out what
makes somebody influential number one I
bet that person who made such a
difference in your life they taught you
how to think influential people are
telling you how to think about yourself
sometimes about your relationships
sometimes about how you contribute
sometimes how to think second thing they
didn’t they challenged
they challenge what you contributed what
you gave what you were capable of they
said you’re better than this young woman
you’re better than this young man you
got more Enya come on let’s go they push
they challenged and third they role
modeled the way they role modeled the
high performers demonstrate more courage
than most people they demonstrate more
courage than most people these six
habits change everything but this last
piece is so highly correlated with high
performance you got to get it
demonstrating courage means it is time
for you to tell your family what you
really think need believe dream of same
with your team same with your spouse all
the holding back of what you really want
in life in silence there is suffering
high performers share what they really
want of life because if you can’t share
it you can’t get it out there you can’t
attract it you can’t move it high
performers deeply care about sharing
what’s true for them and they’re willing
to step into uncertainty even when they
don’t know what to do maybe someone’s
gonna reject you if you start your dream
no likely somebody is going to reject
you but either you can look in the cave
of an uncertain ego I don’t want to go
in I’m so scared I’m so scared to go
what’s this gonna be like and you wander
in with a flashlight of curiosity and
you say on what this could be and now
your curiosity starts looking like
courage and goes wow you got a lot of
guts and no you’re just being curious
again sometimes allowing yourself to put
yourself out there and start asking more
questions that’s courage too but at the
end of the day we’ve got to take more
action
[Music]
today is a new day today is a day for
you to begin creating a joyous
today is the day to begin to release all
your limitations today is the day for
you to learn the secrets of life you can
change your life for the better you
already have the tools within you to do
your first goal when you open up your
eyes should be to focus on the things
that ignite your spirit and bring you
joy I want you to focus on the things
that you appreciate in your life the
things that you’re grateful for I don’t
you control what’s in your container you
control what you think about what you
choose to allow in
people don’t want to hear the truth they
don’t want to deal with reality – why
because it’s too tough everyone has the
ability to change the story
everything that you guys want is outside
your comfort zone all the results all
the growth or potential who you really
are
it’s there waiting for you but most
people they don’t really want to grow
they don’t really want to change they
don’t really want the results they only
wanted if it’s easy if it’s comfortable
if it’s within that realm of comfort and
they don’t have to face their fears they
don’t have to go through the stresses
and anxieties and overcome their
limitations in life and that’s why most
people will never have it they’ll never
change I’ll stay the same and never get
the results that it really wants you can
do more that voice in your head if
you’re the only one that hears it is it
real you got to make it you got to give
it you got to give it a life okay you
got to give it a life you got to hang
with the right people get mentored by
the right people study the right people
stay on the course stay on the path no
matter how bad it is today
we knew we had to make it happen not
getting it done was not an option we had
to make it happen
and we all have negative emotions
negative feelings do you have to make
the choice I’m not going to give this
jealousy this bitterness this anger
valuable space and let it poison my life
I’m going to protect what I allow in me
now today this moment you can choose to
change your thinking it won’t turn
around overnight but if you are
consistent and daily make the choice to
think thoughts that make you feel good
you will definitely make positive
changes in every area of your life you
may be in a difficult time you feel like
you’re being pulled back this is not the
time to get discouraged I don’t
understand it why did this happen
no the right attitude is I’m coming back
stronger you are going to get what
you’re looking for so if you’re looking
for success you’re looking for happiness
you’re looking for prospects you’re
looking for recruits or clients I’m
telling you the more you’re consciously
looking for those things you’re going to
see that when you’re looking to win
you’re looking for victory if you
right there and then you have an
opportunity to steer your thoughts and
your emotions in the direction that you
want them to go not in the direction
that they’re telling you to go in other
words you can literally choose to seize
I believe that there are two types of
people in this world there are dreamers
and then there are doers the people that
are willing to take action to make the
world happen
I truly believe that all of us inside
all of us we all have what it takes to
do and to take action and to create
change in this world
[Music]
passion is a result passion is an energy
passion is the feeling you have when
you’re engaged in something that you
love passion is the feeling you have
that you would probably do this for free
you know and you can’t believe somebody
pays you to do it you know and I think
we mistake that passion is something we
do in our private lives but it shouldn’t
be done you know in our careers for
example and I’m a firm believer that you
are who you are and anybody who says I’m
different at home than I am at work and
one of those two places you’re lying and
the goal is to make everything you do in
home and at work something that you have
excitement to do so how do you find the
things that you’re excited to do well
it’s actually easier than you think what
are the things that you love to do what
are the things that you would do for
free your life is in your hands
100% and I don’t care what anyone tells
you I don’t care what’s happening to you
right now your life is always in your hands
