okay to put something off even till
tonight I need to do it right now the
only way that you’re going to be able to
push past the mountain of obstacles that
is going to try to stop you
is to have maniacal focus to know
exactly what you want

you want to know what Tom and other
successful entrepreneurs have to say
about building unstoppable confidence
check out my confidence to 54 series
where every day for the next 254 days I
will send you a short 30 second to five
minute video absolutely for free to help
you build your confidence check out the
link in the description below there’s a
gap between who people are and what they
tell you they want to accomplish because
in the beginning I hired everyone
everyone right not because I’m super
smart and thought hey I should there was
no one else right like we had the
smallest handful of people ever and so I
started doing the interviewing as I was
doing it I start realizing God these
guys tell me they want to do something
amazing with their life and if you just
listen like wow yeah like I want to be
in your team dude you’re gonna do
amazing stuff and then you realize they
can’t execute on that dream so if I
can’t think they don’t have the mindset
okay let’s kick it off with rule number
one put in the work
alright listen and listen well because
you can do anything you want without
limitation whatever it is that you
decide you want to make come true in
your life you can do that it is gonna
take an inhuman amount of work you’re
gonna have to be prepared to break
yourself in half you are going to have
to learn more than anyone has ever
learned you can have to push yourself
harder than anyone has ever asked you to
push yourself before you’re gonna go way
beyond your breaking point you’re gonna
run until you vomit you’re gonna study
until you fall asleep you’re going to
push and push and push and then you’re
gonna push them anymore and when you hit
the limit you’re gonna push again beyond
that you’re gonna force yourself into an
adaptation response and why because it’s
Malcolm X said the future belongs to
those who prepare for it today so if you
don’t put the work in that’s a day if
you don’t do the unending back-breaking
work of developing yourself into
something greater the world is gonna
pass you by the people that are going to
own it are going to be the ones that did
the one promise that I can make you
right now is that somebody somebody out
there is out working somebody right now
is doing the things that I’m saying
somebody right now is doing the work of
failing and getting up and getting
better and pushing themselves and
triggering that glorious adaptation
response that makes humans the apex
predator someone right now they’re
putting in that work and if you don’t
the future is going to belong to them
and as Martin Luther King jr. said you
can’t fly then run if you can’t run then
walk if you can’t walk then fall but
whatever you do you have to keep moving
forward it’s not okay to make excuses
it’s not gonna slow people down it’s not
okay to ask the world to stop so that
you can step out front it’s not okay to
expect a little of yourself and demand
great rewards the only thing that’s okay
is to be in line with the way that the
world really works and if you want to be
great you’ve got to become capable and
great you’ve got to develop your skill
set you’ve got to take what you have now
and if that’s crawling and you crawl but
you drag yourself ever forward to a
vision of yourself that is so clear and
so specific that
because you my friends know exactly
where you’re going you’re willing to pay
whatever price it takes to get there and
no matter what anybody says no matter
how many hecklers come for you no matter
how many people try to fill dirt on you
try to stop you try to knock you down no
matter how many people come for you at
night while you sleep
and you will keep pushing forward and
you will get better every day and no
matter how many times people chop at you
knock you down knock you off the path we
will get back on you will cross them you
can walk you walk too
my friends is the only path forward so if you want the future that makes you
if you want the future that makes you happy if you want to warm that you’re
happy if you want to warm that you’re excited about get your ass out there and
excited about get your ass out there and earn it
earn it rule number two don’t be passive
rule number two don’t be passive recently you talked about ditching
recently you talked about ditching patience but I think patience helps in
patience but I think patience helps in the long run why do you think ditching
the long run why do you think ditching patience will help this is so
patience will help this is so fascinating so patience in the long run
fascinating so patience in the long run is the only thing that I can tell you is
is the only thing that I can tell you is guaranteed to fail there may be some
guaranteed to fail there may be some advantage to what people are the reason
advantage to what people are the reason that people are telling you to have
that people are telling you to have patience in the short term because
patience in the short term because here’s what anybody trying to anybody
here’s what anybody trying to anybody telling you to have patience is trying
telling you to have patience is trying to get you to understand one very simple
to get you to understand one very simple thing whatever you’re trying to
thing whatever you’re trying to accomplish it takes a very long time and
accomplish it takes a very long time and so if you go into it and you’re playing
so if you go into it and you’re playing this short-term game game chances are
this short-term game game chances are you’re gonna do things that are damaging
you’re gonna do things that are damaging to your reputation long term that to me
to your reputation long term that to me is not patience that to me is playing
is not patience that to me is playing the long game you want to play the long
the long game you want to play the long game you want to be authentic you want
game you want to be authentic you want to be a good person you want to do good
to be a good person you want to do good things from people you want to invest in
things from people you want to invest in other people not because you’re being
other people not because you’re being patient because patient to me is a very
patient because patient to me is a very passive position it’s saying look I’m
passive position it’s saying look I’m not gonna like go all out today because
not gonna like go all out today because at the end of the day this is gonna take
at the end of the day this is gonna take time this is a marathon it’s not a
time this is a marathon it’s not a sprint and so I need to pace myself
sprint and so I need to pace myself that’s what people hear when you tell
that’s what people hear when you tell them to be patient I know because I’ve
them to be patient I know because I’ve seen it play out thousands of times so
seen it play out thousands of times so what happens when you tell people be
what happens when you tell people be patient is you’re telling them hey look
patient is you’re telling them hey look this is gonna take a really long time
this is gonna take a really long time anyway so pace yourself here’s the
anyway so pace yourself here’s the reality and you’re you’re gonna feel the
reality and you’re you’re gonna feel the truth of this instantly most dreams
truth of this instantly most dreams never come true most of the people that
never come true most of the people that you know most of the dreams that you’ve
you know most of the dreams that you’ve had for yourself they haven’t come true
had for yourself they haven’t come true why not because they’re brutally
why not because they’re brutally difficult the world is going to resist
difficult the world is going to resist you it is not going to be easy to
you it is not going to be easy to overcome entropy to overcome inertia the
overcome entropy to overcome inertia the only way that you’re going to overcome
only way that you’re going to overcome that stuff is
that stuff is to go all-out everyday knowing that it’s
to go all-out everyday knowing that it’s gonna take a long time but the only way
gonna take a long time but the only way that that dream is gonna come true even
that that dream is gonna come true even over that long period of time is if
over that long period of time is if you’re going all-out every day so
you’re going all-out every day so literally a mantra in my life and I
literally a mantra in my life and I can’t I cannot stress this enough this
can’t I cannot stress this enough this is a cornerstone of why I’ve been able
is a cornerstone of why I’ve been able to achieve at the level that I’ve been
to achieve at the level that I’ve been able to achieve every day everything I’m
able to achieve every day everything I’m doing I’m asking why can’t it be done
doing I’m asking why can’t it be done faster why can’t I accomplish more right
faster why can’t I accomplish more right now that it’s not okay to put something
now that it’s not okay to put something off even till tonight I need to do it
off even till tonight I need to do it right now now you need to get very good
right now now you need to get very good at prioritizing because if you try and
at prioritizing because if you try and do everything right now you’re going to
do everything right now you’re going to accomplish nothing and if you’re trying
accomplish nothing and if you’re trying to be gimmicky or do shortcuts all of
to be gimmicky or do shortcuts all of that’s gonna fail because none of that
that’s gonna fail because none of that is playing the long game but if ever
is playing the long game but if ever you’re allowing yourself to slow down
you’re allowing yourself to slow down because you simply are acknowledging
because you simply are acknowledging that this stuff takes time I’m telling
that this stuff takes time I’m telling you it’s never going to work you’ve got
you it’s never going to work you’ve got to go all-out you’ve got to create
to go all-out you’ve got to create momentum rule number three have maniacal
momentum rule number three have maniacal focus this is critical whatever it is
focus this is critical whatever it is that you’re going to do in your life if
that you’re going to do in your life if you have any interest in doing something
you have any interest in doing something extraordinary if you have any interest
extraordinary if you have any interest in performing better than other people
in performing better than other people if you have any interest in doing
if you have any interest in doing something that will be remembered this
something that will be remembered this is the takeaway for you pick one thing
is the takeaway for you pick one thing and do it with force and determination
and do it with force and determination the only way that you’re going to be
the only way that you’re going to be able to push past the mountain of
able to push past the mountain of obstacles that is going to try to stop
obstacles that is going to try to stop you is to have maniacal focus to know
you is to have maniacal focus to know exactly what you want to have clarity of
exactly what you want to have clarity of purpose to have a crystal clear vision
purpose to have a crystal clear vision in your mind of what you’re trying to
in your mind of what you’re trying to accomplish something that you could tell
accomplish something that you could tell anybody in a single sentence when you
anybody in a single sentence when you have that and you stare at it all day
have that and you stare at it all day and you think about exactly how you’re
and you think about exactly how you’re gonna make it happen and you tie your
gonna make it happen and you tie your identity to it then you’ve got a chance
identity to it then you’ve got a chance because then my friends when that
because then my friends when that obstacle comes before you you will
obstacle comes before you you will muster the force that you need to
muster the force that you need to destroy that obstacle and this is where
destroy that obstacle and this is where this kind of aggressive language and
this kind of aggressive language and thinking is going to help you because
thinking is going to help you because they will not go quietly and that’s the
they will not go quietly and that’s the problem that a lot of good gentle
problem that a lot of good gentle beautiful Souls have is when the time
beautiful Souls have is when the time comes they don’t muster the force that’s
comes they don’t muster the force that’s required to get what they want and I
required to get what they want and I know you know like I do somebody who’s a
know you know like I do somebody who’s a beautiful person who’s a good human
beautiful person who’s a good human being that we wish good things for but
being that we wish good things for but sometimes bad things happen because they
sometimes bad things happen because they don’t stand up for themselves and as
don’t stand up for themselves and as jaco willing said most of us aren’t
jaco willing said most of us aren’t defeated in one decisive battle we’re
defeated in one decisive battle we’re defeated one tiny seemingly
defeated one tiny seemingly insignificant surrender at a time that
insignificant surrender at a time that ships away at who we should really be
ships away at who we should really be that’s how we lose rule number four
that’s how we lose rule number four optimize your life how important is rest
optimize your life how important is rest and how much do you get of it I’m trying
and how much do you get of it I’m trying hard at the moment to pursue my dreams
hard at the moment to pursue my dreams but sometimes I feel out of balance
but sometimes I feel out of balance because I lack sleep for example all
because I lack sleep for example all right boys and girls I’m telling I’m
right boys and girls I’m telling I’m just gonna be super arrogant for a
just gonna be super arrogant for a second I built a billion-dollar business
second I built a billion-dollar business without setting an alarm prioritize
without setting an alarm prioritize sleep I work a lot in fact I’ll take the
sleep I work a lot in fact I’ll take the Pepsi challenge anybody that wants to go
Pepsi challenge anybody that wants to go head to toe with me in terms of what you
head to toe with me in terms of what you get done not just raw number of hours
get done not just raw number of hours aimed at a computer or whatever it is
aimed at a computer or whatever it is you’re supposed to be doing and
you’re supposed to be doing and performing totally sub-optimally I’ll
performing totally sub-optimally I’ll just take the Pepsi challenge on that I
just take the Pepsi challenge on that I always prioritize sleep I always
always prioritize sleep I always prioritize my psychological optimization
prioritize my psychological optimization so for instance if I’m working around
so for instance if I’m working around the clock if this happened not too long
the clock if this happened not too long ago I was just working so many hours and
ago I was just working so many hours and it ended up encompassing too many things
it ended up encompassing too many things that took more energy than they were
that took more energy than they were giving that I started to feel anxious
giving that I started to feel anxious isn’t in fact I started to feel
isn’t in fact I started to feel claustrophobic that’s exactly how I felt
claustrophobic that’s exactly how I felt I wanted to crawl out of my own skin I
I wanted to crawl out of my own skin I don’t know how to explain it it’s just
don’t know how to explain it it’s just like ah was driving me
like ah was driving me and I realized I need to chill for a
and I realized I need to chill for a minute I need to meditate I need to take

and so maybe in those moments I go read a comic because we’re building a comic
a comic because we’re building a comic book publishing Empire so that’s part of
book publishing Empire so that’s part of what I need to do anyway but reading the
what I need to do anyway but reading the comic is fun I also need to meditate and
comic is fun I also need to meditate and just literally breathe from my diaphragm
just literally breathe from my diaphragm so get the sleep do you need

what time did I wake up boys and girls not for 14 not for 16 I woke up at 4:15
not for 14 not for 16 I woke up at 4:15 because that was the time that I told
because that was the time that I told myself to wake up I can usually get
myself to wake up I can usually get within 5 minutes of what time I tell
within 5 minutes of what time I tell myself to wake up it doesn’t always work
myself to wake up it doesn’t always work and if I’m tired I don’t give myself
and if I’m tired I don’t give myself that edict I tell myself to sleep as
that edict I tell myself to sleep as much as I need but when I’m really

what it’s not me go to bed early get your sleep meditate getting a good
your sleep meditate getting a good peaceful calm creative state so that you
peaceful calm creative state so that you can really crush it rule number five
can really crush it rule number five explore life would you be in favor of
explore life would you be in favor of college students or anyone that may be
college students or anyone that may be considering it to take some time off to
considering it to take some time off to travel and experience as many new things
travel and experience as many new things as they can in order to find themselves
as they can in order to find themselves so absolutely but not to find themselves
so absolutely but not to find themselves so you create yourself you decide who
so you create yourself you decide who you want to become
you want to become but figure
but figure hang out who it is that you want to
hang out who it is that you want to become that is something that requires
become that is something that requires you to encounter a lot of things to
you to encounter a lot of things to experience a lot of life this is Kevin
experience a lot of life this is Kevin Kelly’s whole notion of don’t
Kelly’s whole notion of don’t prematurely optimize I think that some
prematurely optimize I think that some of the best advice young people are ever
of the best advice young people are ever going to hear is you really want to go
going to hear is you really want to go out and explore discover new things so
out and explore discover new things so that you can find what it is that you
that you can find what it is that you find interesting
find interesting then that’s where the discovery process
then that’s where the discovery process ends in the developing process begins
ends in the developing process begins then you begin to create this notion of
then you begin to create this notion of who you want to become and then you go
who you want to become and then you go down the path of becoming that gaining
down the path of becoming that gaining those skills developing mastery in a
those skills developing mastery in a certain area but first really make sure
certain area but first really make sure because you’re gonna give at least a
because you’re gonna give at least a decade of your life if not more to any
decade of your life if not more to any one thing so making sure that that’s
one thing so making sure that that’s something that fills you up instead of
something that fills you up instead of chipping away at you is really really
chipping away at you is really really important and the only way to do that is
important and the only way to do that is to experience a whole lot of stuff so
to experience a whole lot of stuff so yeah I have no beef with taking that
yeah I have no beef with taking that time off to go explore and discover new
time off to go explore and discover new things I think it’s incredibly powerful
things I think it’s incredibly powerful rule number six be yourself you’ve got
rule number six be yourself you’ve got two choices in life choice one you can
two choices in life choice one you can become somebody else choice – you can
become somebody else choice – you can become yourself now I really wish that
become yourself now I really wish that there was only one choice but in truth
there was only one choice but in truth there’s not and most people choose to
there’s not and most people choose to try to become someone else because it’s
try to become someone else because it’s a road map
a road map it’s points in a direction you see
it’s points in a direction you see someone you respond to something you
someone you respond to something you admire them you want to be like them and
admire them you want to be like them and in that process you’ve made your
in that process you’ve made your decision in that process you decided to
decision in that process you decided to become somebody else you have mistaken
become somebody else you have mistaken the finger for the moon instead you need
the finger for the moon instead you need to understand them being inspired by
to understand them being inspired by somebody does not mean to become that
somebody does not mean to become that person to become that which inspires you
person to become that which inspires you it is to understand fundamentally what
it is to understand fundamentally what is it about that thing that excites you
is it about that thing that excites you what is it what is its essence
what is it what is its essence and when you can find its essence then
and when you can find its essence then you can find out how it would apply to
you can find out how it would apply to you becoming you and as Zen she says
you becoming you and as Zen she says flower does not think about competing
flower does not think about competing with the flower next to it it just
with the flower next to it it just blooms and that’s really your job is to
blooms and that’s really your job is to see the outside world to see the flower
see the outside world to see the flower next to you to understand the amazing
next to you to understand the amazing things that are happening all around you
things that are happening all around you all of the incredible people and the
all of the incredible people and the essence of what they have and what it is
essence of what they have and what it is that they’ve done to bring inside
that they’ve done to bring inside yourself and find out what does that
yourself and find out what does that look like when it’s me not what do I
look like when it’s me not what do I look like when I’m them and once you
look like when I’m them and once you understand the difference between that
understand the difference between that then you can really begin to be
then you can really begin to be something unique you can become that
something unique you can become that thing that you were meant to be that
thing that you were meant to be that thing that makes you feel alive and
thing that makes you feel alive and whole and that’s it that’s the secret
whole and that’s it that’s the secret you’re just trying to be something not
you’re just trying to be something not that’s just inspiring to other people
that’s just inspiring to other people that you actually want to wake up every
that you actually want to wake up every day and be thing about it so escaping

its ability to climb a tree it will live it’s whole life believing that it’s
it’s whole life believing that it’s stupid
stupid that’s what confuses people people
that’s what confuses people people believe that they’re done because
believe that they’re done because they’re not finding their path they’re

not defining things based on what excites them and what they want to live
excites them and what they want to live with
with they’re just looking to what the outside
they’re just looking to what the outside world says is good and I think it’s
world says is good and I think it’s incredible that there are other people
incredible that there are other people doing things that are so extraordinary
doing things that are so extraordinary that we aspire to be like that you have
that we aspire to be like that you have to understand the difference between
to understand the difference between being like someone and trying to
being like someone and trying to actually be
actually be rule number seven have self-esteem we
rule number seven have self-esteem we talk of self-esteem in one of two ways
talk of self-esteem in one of two ways either as the sole determinant of
either as the sole determinant of success or as the ultimate enemy most
success or as the ultimate enemy most people build their self-esteem around
people build their self-esteem around their accomplishments they feel good
their accomplishments they feel good about themselves if they’re making the
about themselves if they’re making the most money they’re dating the hottest
most money they’re dating the hottest person or they’ve built the best product
person or they’ve built the best product they get caught in the rat race of
they get caught in the rat race of validating themselves against the person
validating themselves against the person who happens to be standing next to them
who happens to be standing next to them but there’s a fundamental flaw with this
but there’s a fundamental flaw with this equation because when your ego is that
equation because when your ego is that attached to your success its devastated
attached to your success its devastated by your failures and what the most
by your failures and what the most successful people know is you cannot
successful people know is you cannot leave your self-worth in the hands of
leave your self-worth in the hands of anyone else the most successful people
anyone else the most successful people get their pride from the different
get their pride from the different source one that does not fluctuate with
source one that does not fluctuate with their successes and failures so I knew I
their successes and failures so I knew I couldn’t give up my self-esteem I
couldn’t give up my self-esteem I couldn’t accept some weird role where I
couldn’t accept some weird role where I just was always the dumbass sitting in
just was always the dumbass sitting in the corner if I pride myself on being
the corner if I pride myself on being smart and you tell me I’m dumb and you
smart and you tell me I’m dumb and you put up a pretty good case for it that’s
put up a pretty good case for it that’s gonna damage my self-esteem my
gonna damage my self-esteem my self-esteem in that situation is very
self-esteem in that situation is very fragile
fragile if on the other hand you tell me that
if on the other hand you tell me that I’m dumb and I build my self-esteem
I’m dumb and I build my self-esteem around being the learner now I’m gonna
around being the learner now I’m gonna say thank you please tell me in what way
say thank you please tell me in what way that I’m dumb because you will open my
that I’m dumb because you will open my eyes to something that now I can address
eyes to something that now I can address and I can go learn about that thing and
and I can go learn about that thing and I will have a new skill and I can go out
I will have a new skill and I can go out and push and execute against that skill
and push and execute against that skill one of the most powerful things that you
one of the most powerful things that you could do is become the person that
could do is become the person that admits that you’re wrong really fast and
admits that you’re wrong really fast and it’s crazy how much credibility you’ll
it’s crazy how much credibility you’ll learn with people simply by admitting I
learn with people simply by admitting I was wrong like 30 seconds ago I was
was wrong like 30 seconds ago I was fighting so hard for something I was
fighting so hard for something I was really fighting for my position and then
really fighting for my position and then somebody says something and I realized
somebody says something and I realized that’s actually better imagine that the
that’s actually better imagine that the more you try to tell me I’m dumb the
more you try to tell me I’m dumb the more areas that you point out that I’m
more areas that you point out that I’m weak the more things you tell me I need
weak the more things you tell me I need to learn about my eyes are open to
to learn about my eyes are open to something that it’s true I’m gonna go
something that it’s true I’m gonna go down that path and I’m gonna learn how
down that path and I’m gonna learn how to
to and that is absolutely critical rule
and that is absolutely critical rule number eight build your reality what are
number eight build your reality what are your thoughts on changing reality with
your thoughts on changing reality with thoughts and repetitions will this
thoughts and repetitions will this workers adjust a theory okay so there’s
workers adjust a theory okay so there’s no doubt that the way that the brain
no doubt that the way that the brain rewires itself is through repetition
rewires itself is through repetition neurons that fire together wire together
neurons that fire together wire together so you very much can create reality I
so you very much can create reality I want to say that it isn’t unfortunately
want to say that it isn’t unfortunately like the matrix but it’s so close that
like the matrix but it’s so close that you might as well think of it like that
you might as well think of it like that but to me that’s just a metaphor to get
but to me that’s just a metaphor to get people to understand that you really can
people to understand that you really can influence your your hardwiring in your
influence your your hardwiring in your own brain and you certainly can
own brain and you certainly can influence the outside world by gaining a
influence the outside world by gaining a set of skills that allow you to go out
set of skills that allow you to go out and manipulate it I’ll give you a super
and manipulate it I’ll give you a super easy example learning to build a house
easy example learning to build a house means you can actually build a house and
means you can actually build a house and you can manifest that and turn a tree or
you can manifest that and turn a tree or concrete into a physical structure so
concrete into a physical structure so you can definitely have that kind of
you can definitely have that kind of influence you can obviously influence
influence you can obviously influence other people by learning about
other people by learning about psychology so all of these things are
psychology so all of these things are very very possible rule number nine my
very very possible rule number nine my personal favorite change your beliefs
personal favorite change your beliefs the matrix has you now the matrix to me
the matrix has you now the matrix to me is a simple metaphor I don’t actually
is a simple metaphor I don’t actually believe that we’re living in the
believe that we’re living in the computer simulation and even if we are I
computer simulation and even if we are I don’t think that it matters but what
don’t think that it matters but what does matter is your entire life is being
does matter is your entire life is being lived by your brain now what do I mean
lived by your brain now what do I mean by that if you know a guy named David
by that if you know a guy named David Eagleman he wrote a book called
Eagleman he wrote a book called incognito in the book incognito he makes
incognito in the book incognito he makes one thing abundantly clear you live in a
one thing abundantly clear you live in a virtual environment whether you realize
virtual environment whether you realize it or not that virtual environment is
it or not that virtual environment is created by the three pounds of squishy
created by the three pounds of squishy material between your ears
material between your ears think about this your brain never
think about this your brain never touches light your brain is encased in a
touches light your brain is encased in a bone box in total darkness and yet it
bone box in total darkness and yet it takes photons that fall on the eye and
takes photons that fall on the eye and turns it into electrochemical stimulus
turns it into electrochemical stimulus and from that it paints this environment
and from that it paints this environment it fakes the sense of depth think about
it fakes the sense of depth think about this for a second there’s not some
this for a second there’s not some little image of this room projected into
little image of this room projected into the back of my mind this is all being
the back of my mind this is all being turned into electrochemical stimulus and
turned into electrochemical stimulus and my brain then manufactures this
my brain then manufactures this environment
environment there’s actually
there’s actually dime spot blank part in your field of
dime spot blank part in your field of vision where each optic nerve connects
vision where each optic nerve connects to your eyes and yet you have no
to your eyes and yet you have no experience of it that it’s completely
experience of it that it’s completely invisible to you even though it’s
invisible to you even though it’s massive and it’s dead center in your
massive and it’s dead center in your eyes the reason that you don’t
eyes the reason that you don’t experience it is because your brain
experience it is because your brain fills it in your brain makes a guess as
fills it in your brain makes a guess as to what would be there and your brain is
to what would be there and your brain is so good at guessing and so good at
so good at guessing and so good at presenting it as if it were real that
presenting it as if it were real that you have no sense it is completely
you have no sense it is completely seamless to you when I heard that I
seamless to you when I heard that I remember getting the chills and setting
remember getting the chills and setting the book down and saying my brain is
the book down and saying my brain is lying to me
lying to me that rat now the question becomes if
that rat now the question becomes if this is all made up if the sense of
this is all made up if the sense of distance between you and I is completely
distance between you and I is completely manufactured by my brain and it’s not
manufactured by my brain and it’s not real meaning what I see of it it’s real
real meaning what I see of it it’s real enough and that if I walk I’ll hit you
enough and that if I walk I’ll hit you at about the point that I’m expecting to
at about the point that I’m expecting to bump into you because my brain can
bump into you because my brain can create that sense of distance but it’s
create that sense of distance but it’s doing it by translating those signals
doing it by translating those signals it’s manufacturing this space so if
it’s manufacturing this space so if that’s true and my brain fills in the
that’s true and my brain fills in the gaps does my brain also have biases and
gaps does my brain also have biases and the answer is yes neuroscience has gone
the answer is yes neuroscience has gone deep into how many different biases that
deep into how many different biases that we have as humans I’ll give you one
we have as humans I’ll give you one because this one is profoundly impactful
because this one is profoundly impactful you’re more likely to believe something
you’re more likely to believe something negative than you are something positive
now think about how that can echo through your life each of us has to
through your life each of us has to realize that all of the beliefs that we
realize that all of the beliefs that we have in our life are choices the scary
have in our life are choices the scary part about the most important beliefs in
part about the most important beliefs in your life as most of them are invisible
your life as most of them are invisible I’m going to give you a couple questions
I’m going to give you a couple questions that will highlight invisible beliefs
that will highlight invisible beliefs that you have that are controlling your
that you have that are controlling your life that are exactly why I say the
life that are exactly why I say the matrix has you because depending on how
matrix has you because depending on how you answer these questions will
you answer these questions will determine your life and if you don’t
determine your life and if you don’t recognize something scary in your own
recognize something scary in your own answers think about the people that you
answers think about the people that you love that you want to help and you can’t
love that you want to help and you can’t and you wonder why the answer is almost
and you wonder why the answer is almost certainly related to how they answer
certainly related to how they answer some of these questions number one this
some of these questions number one this comes from Einstein he said the most
comes from Einstein he said the most important decision
important decision the most important decision any human
the most important decision any human being must make is whether or not you
being must make is whether or not you live in a friendly or a hostile universe
live in a friendly or a hostile universe now we could have said realization but
now we could have said realization but he didn’t he said decision you have to
he didn’t he said decision you have to decide because there is no empirical
decide because there is no empirical truth you don’t live in either a
truth you don’t live in either a friendly or a hostile universe you
friendly or a hostile universe you decide and that perception that
decide and that perception that viewpoint from which you judge
viewpoint from which you judge everything else that happens in your
everything else that happens in your life will be colored by whether or not
life will be colored by whether or not you think it is a universe that is
you think it is a universe that is working for you or against you and it’s
working for you or against you and it’s a choice but most people think of their
a choice but most people think of their viewpoint is being patently real as
viewpoint is being patently real as being just objective and true and so
being just objective and true and so they never stop to question the fact
they never stop to question the fact that they actually decided that at some
that they actually decided that at some point either because their parents acted
point either because their parents acted in accordance with that it was either
in accordance with that it was either hostile or friendly and they just
hostile or friendly and they just absorbed that or their friends or the
absorbed that or their friends or the people that they work with or whatever
people that they work with or whatever but somewhere along the line they came
but somewhere along the line they came to believe that they live in either a
to believe that they live in either a friendly or a hostile universe but you
friendly or a hostile universe but you could change right now right now you
could change right now right now you could make a different decision and if
could make a different decision and if you believe that the world is working
you believe that the world is working against you right now you could choose
against you right now you could choose to believe that it’s actually working
to believe that it’s actually working for you and in making a fundamentally
for you and in making a fundamentally new and different assumption it empowers
new and different assumption it empowers you to move forward and this is
you to move forward and this is something that I will repeat in this
something that I will repeat in this talk the reason that matters is human
talk the reason that matters is human beings do not invest energy in things
beings do not invest energy in things that they don’t think will yield a

why can’t it be done faster why can’t I
accomplish more right now that it’s not
okay to put something off even till
tonight I need to do it right now the
only way that you’re going to be able to
push past the mountain of obstacles that
is going to try to stop you
is to have maniacal focus to know
exactly what you want

will send you a short 30 second to five
minute video absolutely for free to help
you build your confidence check out the
link in the description below there’s a
gap between who people are and what they
tell you they want to accomplish because
in the beginning I hired everyone
everyone right not because I’m super
smart and thought hey I should there was
no one else right like we had the
smallest handful of people ever and so I
started doing the interviewing as I was
doing it I start realizing God these
guys tell me they want to do something
amazing with their life and if you just
listen like wow yeah like I want to be
in your team dude you’re gonna do
amazing stuff and then you realize they
can’t execute on that dream so if I
can’t think they don’t have the mindset
okay let’s kick it off with rule number
one put in the work
alright listen and listen well because
you can do anything you want without
limitation whatever it is that you
decide you want to make come true in
your life you can do that it is gonna
take an inhuman amount of work you’re
gonna have to be prepared to break
yourself in half you are going to have
to learn more than anyone has ever
learned you can have to push yourself
harder than anyone has ever asked you to
push yourself before you’re gonna go way
beyond your breaking point you’re gonna
run until you vomit you’re gonna study
until you fall asleep you’re going to
push and push and push and then you’re
gonna push them anymore and when you hit
the limit you’re gonna push again beyond
that you’re gonna force yourself into an
adaptation response and why because it’s
Malcolm X said the future belongs to
those who prepare for it today so if you
don’t put the work in that’s a day if
you don’t do the unending back-breaking
work of developing yourself into
something greater the world is gonna
pass you by the people that are going to
own it are going to be the ones that did
the one promise that I can make you
right now is that somebody somebody out
there is out working somebody right now
is doing the things that I’m saying
somebody right now is doing the work of
failing and getting up and getting
better and pushing themselves and
triggering that glorious adaptation
response that makes humans the apex
predator someone right now they’re
putting in that work and if you don’t
the future is going to belong to them
and as Martin Luther King jr. said you
can’t fly then run if you can’t run then
walk if you can’t walk then fall but
whatever you do you have to keep moving
forward it’s not okay to make excuses
it’s not gonna slow people down it’s not
okay to ask the world to stop so that
you can step out front it’s not okay to
expect a little of yourself and demand
great rewards the only thing that’s okay
is to be in line with the way that the
world really works and if you want to be
great you’ve got to become capable and
great you’ve got to develop your skill
set you’ve got to take what you have now
and if that’s crawling and you crawl but
you drag yourself ever forward to a
vision of yourself that is so clear and
so specific that
because you my friends know exactly
where you’re going you’re willing to pay
whatever price it takes to get there and
no matter what anybody says no matter
how many hecklers come for you no matter
how many people try to fill dirt on you
try to stop you try to knock you down no
matter how many people come for you at
night while you sleep
and you will keep pushing forward and
you will get better every day and no
matter how many times people chop at you
knock you down knock you off the path we
will get back on you will cross them you
can walk you walk too
my friends is the only path forward so if you want the future that makes you
if you want the future that makes you happy if you want to warm that you’re
happy if you want to warm that you’re excited about get your ass out there and
excited about get your ass out there and earn it
earn it rule number two don’t be passive
rule number two don’t be passive recently you talked about ditching
recently you talked about ditching patience but I think patience helps in
patience but I think patience helps in the long run why do you think ditching
the long run why do you think ditching patience will help this is so
patience will help this is so fascinating so patience in the long run
fascinating so patience in the long run is the only thing that I can tell you is
is the only thing that I can tell you is guaranteed to fail there may be some
guaranteed to fail there may be some advantage to what people are the reason
advantage to what people are the reason that people are telling you to have
that people are telling you to have patience in the short term because
patience in the short term because here’s what anybody trying to anybody
here’s what anybody trying to anybody telling you to have patience is trying
telling you to have patience is trying to get you to understand one very simple
to get you to understand one very simple thing whatever you’re trying to
thing whatever you’re trying to accomplish it takes a very long time and
accomplish it takes a very long time and so if you go into it and you’re playing
so if you go into it and you’re playing this short-term game game chances are
this short-term game game chances are you’re gonna do things that are damaging
you’re gonna do things that are damaging to your reputation long term that to me
to your reputation long term that to me is not patience that to me is playing
is not patience that to me is playing the long game you want to play the long
the long game you want to play the long game you want to be authentic you want
game you want to be authentic you want to be a good person you want to do good
to be a good person you want to do good things from people you want to invest in
things from people you want to invest in other people not because you’re being
other people not because you’re being patient because patient to me is a very
patient because patient to me is a very passive position it’s saying look I’m
passive position it’s saying look I’m not gonna like go all out today because
not gonna like go all out today because at the end of the day this is gonna take
at the end of the day this is gonna take time this is a marathon it’s not a
time this is a marathon it’s not a sprint and so I need to pace myself
sprint and so I need to pace myself that’s what people hear when you tell
that’s what people hear when you tell them to be patient I know because I’ve
them to be patient I know because I’ve seen it play out thousands of times so
seen it play out thousands of times so what happens when you tell people be
what happens when you tell people be patient is you’re telling them hey look
patient is you’re telling them hey look this is gonna take a really long time
this is gonna take a really long time anyway so pace yourself here’s the
anyway so pace yourself here’s the reality and you’re you’re gonna feel the
reality and you’re you’re gonna feel the truth of this instantly most dreams
truth of this instantly most dreams never come true most of the people that
never come true most of the people that you know most of the dreams that you’ve
you know most of the dreams that you’ve had for yourself they haven’t come true
had for yourself they haven’t come true why not because they’re brutally
why not because they’re brutally difficult the world is going to resist
difficult the world is going to resist you it is not going to be easy to
you it is not going to be easy to overcome entropy to overcome inertia the
overcome entropy to overcome inertia the only way that you’re going to overcome
only way that you’re going to overcome that stuff is
that stuff is to go all-out everyday knowing that it’s
to go all-out everyday knowing that it’s gonna take a long time but the only way
gonna take a long time but the only way that that dream is gonna come true even
that that dream is gonna come true even over that long period of time is if
over that long period of time is if you’re going all-out every day so
you’re going all-out every day so literally a mantra in my life and I
literally a mantra in my life and I can’t I cannot stress this enough this
can’t I cannot stress this enough this is a cornerstone of why I’ve been able
is a cornerstone of why I’ve been able to achieve at the level that I’ve been
to achieve at the level that I’ve been able to achieve every day everything I’m
able to achieve every day everything I’m doing I’m asking why can’t it be done
doing I’m asking why can’t it be done faster why can’t I accomplish more right
faster why can’t I accomplish more right now that it’s not okay to put something
now that it’s not okay to put something off even till tonight I need to do it
off even till tonight I need to do it right now now you need to get very good
right now now you need to get very good at prioritizing because if you try and
at prioritizing because if you try and do everything right now you’re going to
do everything right now you’re going to accomplish nothing and if you’re trying
accomplish nothing and if you’re trying to be gimmicky or do shortcuts all of
to be gimmicky or do shortcuts all of that’s gonna fail because none of that
that’s gonna fail because none of that is playing the long game but if ever
is playing the long game but if ever you’re allowing yourself to slow down
you’re allowing yourself to slow down because you simply are acknowledging
because you simply are acknowledging that this stuff takes time I’m telling
that this stuff takes time I’m telling you it’s never going to work you’ve got
you it’s never going to work you’ve got to go all-out you’ve got to create
to go all-out you’ve got to create momentum rule number three have maniacal
momentum rule number three have maniacal focus this is critical whatever it is
focus this is critical whatever it is that you’re going to do in your life if
that you’re going to do in your life if you have any interest in doing something
you have any interest in doing something extraordinary if you have any interest
extraordinary if you have any interest in performing better than other people
in performing better than other people if you have any interest in doing
if you have any interest in doing something that will be remembered this
something that will be remembered this is the takeaway for you pick one thing
is the takeaway for you pick one thing and do it with force and determination
and do it with force and determination the only way that you’re going to be
the only way that you’re going to be able to push past the mountain of
able to push past the mountain of obstacles that is going to try to stop
obstacles that is going to try to stop you is to have maniacal focus to know
you is to have maniacal focus to know exactly what you want to have clarity of
exactly what you want to have clarity of purpose to have a crystal clear vision
purpose to have a crystal clear vision in your mind of what you’re trying to
in your mind of what you’re trying to accomplish something that you could tell
accomplish something that you could tell anybody in a single sentence when you
anybody in a single sentence when you have that and you stare at it all day
have that and you stare at it all day and you think about exactly how you’re
and you think about exactly how you’re gonna make it happen and you tie your
gonna make it happen and you tie your identity to it then you’ve got a chance
identity to it then you’ve got a chance because then my friends when that
because then my friends when that obstacle comes before you you will
obstacle comes before you you will muster the force that you need to
muster the force that you need to destroy that obstacle and this is where
destroy that obstacle and this is where this kind of aggressive language and
this kind of aggressive language and thinking is going to help you because
thinking is going to help you because they will not go quietly and that’s the
they will not go quietly and that’s the problem that a lot of good gentle
problem that a lot of good gentle beautiful Souls have is when the time
beautiful Souls have is when the time comes they don’t muster the force that’s
comes they don’t muster the force that’s required to get what they want and I
required to get what they want and I know you know like I do somebody who’s a
know you know like I do somebody who’s a beautiful person who’s a good human
beautiful person who’s a good human being that we wish good things for but
being that we wish good things for but sometimes bad things happen because they
sometimes bad things happen because they don’t stand up for themselves and as
don’t stand up for themselves and as jaco willing said most of us aren’t
jaco willing said most of us aren’t defeated in one decisive battle we’re
defeated in one decisive battle we’re defeated one tiny seemingly
defeated one tiny seemingly insignificant surrender at a time that
insignificant surrender at a time that ships away at who we should really be
ships away at who we should really be that’s how we lose rule number four
that’s how we lose rule number four optimize your life how important is rest
optimize your life how important is rest and how much do you get of it I’m trying
and how much do you get of it I’m trying hard at the moment to pursue my dreams
hard at the moment to pursue my dreams but sometimes I feel out of balance
but sometimes I feel out of balance because I lack sleep for example all
because I lack sleep for example all right boys and girls I’m telling I’m
right boys and girls I’m telling I’m just gonna be super arrogant for a
just gonna be super arrogant for a second I built a billion-dollar business
second I built a billion-dollar business without setting an alarm prioritize
without setting an alarm prioritize sleep I work a lot in fact I’ll take the
sleep I work a lot in fact I’ll take the Pepsi challenge anybody that wants to go
Pepsi challenge anybody that wants to go head to toe with me in terms of what you
head to toe with me in terms of what you get done not just raw number of hours
get done not just raw number of hours aimed at a computer or whatever it is
aimed at a computer or whatever it is you’re supposed to be doing and
you’re supposed to be doing and performing totally sub-optimally I’ll
performing totally sub-optimally I’ll just take the Pepsi challenge on that I
just take the Pepsi challenge on that I always prioritize sleep I always
always prioritize sleep I always prioritize my psychological optimization
prioritize my psychological optimization so for instance if I’m working around
so for instance if I’m working around the clock if this happened not too long
the clock if this happened not too long ago I was just working so many hours and
ago I was just working so many hours and it ended up encompassing too many things
it ended up encompassing too many things that took more energy than they were
that took more energy than they were giving that I started to feel anxious
giving that I started to feel anxious isn’t in fact I started to feel
isn’t in fact I started to feel claustrophobic that’s exactly how I felt
claustrophobic that’s exactly how I felt I wanted to crawl out of my own skin I
I wanted to crawl out of my own skin I don’t know how to explain it it’s just
don’t know how to explain it it’s just like ah was driving me
like ah was driving me and I realized I need to chill for a
and I realized I need to chill for a minute I need to meditate I need to take
minute I need to meditate I need to take an hour and go do something that’s still
an hour and go do something that’s still moving me towards my dreams because
moving me towards my dreams because that’s my thing but that I really enjoy
that’s my thing but that I really enjoy and so maybe in those moments I go read
and so maybe in those moments I go read a comic because we’re building a comic
a comic because we’re building a comic book publishing Empire so that’s part of
book publishing Empire so that’s part of what I need to do anyway but reading the
what I need to do anyway but reading the comic is fun I also need to meditate and
comic is fun I also need to meditate and just literally breathe from my diaphragm
just literally breathe from my diaphragm so get the sleep do you need
so get the sleep do you need that’s super critical you do not need to
that’s super critical you do not need to set an alarm sleep as much as you need
set an alarm sleep as much as you need to and by the way if you’re doing things
to and by the way if you’re doing things that are exciting to you you’re I know
that are exciting to you you’re I know people some of you are gonna believe me
people some of you are gonna believe me because I hopefully I’ve earned the
because I hopefully I’ve earned the credibility with you up to this point
credibility with you up to this point and some of you’re gonna call total
and some of you’re gonna call total bullsh you can ask my wife I can set an
bullsh you can ask my wife I can set an internal alarm clock in my mind only if
internal alarm clock in my mind only if I’m excited about something or really
I’m excited about something or really stressed out but that’s a whole nother
stressed out but that’s a whole nother thing which I try hardly to do ever but
thing which I try hardly to do ever but when I’m really excited about something
when I’m really excited about something I can set an internal alarm clock this
I can set an internal alarm clock this morning I told myself wake up at 4:15
morning I told myself wake up at 4:15 what time did I wake up boys and girls
what time did I wake up boys and girls not for 14 not for 16 I woke up at 4:15
not for 14 not for 16 I woke up at 4:15 because that was the time that I told
because that was the time that I told myself to wake up I can usually get
myself to wake up I can usually get within 5 minutes of what time I tell
within 5 minutes of what time I tell myself to wake up it doesn’t always work
myself to wake up it doesn’t always work and if I’m tired I don’t give myself
and if I’m tired I don’t give myself that edict I tell myself to sleep as
that edict I tell myself to sleep as much as I need but when I’m really
much as I need but when I’m really excited about something there’s
excited about something there’s something I want to get up and work on
something I want to get up and work on and I’m afraid there just won’t be
and I’m afraid there just won’t be enough time and it’s a reasonable amount
enough time and it’s a reasonable amount of sleep I’ll say anything north of 5
of sleep I’ll say anything north of 5 hours I can usually get myself to just
hours I can usually get myself to just wake up so get the sleep prioritize
wake up so get the sleep prioritize cognitive optimization because then
cognitive optimization because then you’re efficient and efficiency is the
you’re efficient and efficiency is the name of the game so sleep sleep sleep
name of the game so sleep sleep sleep I’m not a guy proposing the you know set
I’m not a guy proposing the you know set your alarm get up at 4:00 a.m. no matter
your alarm get up at 4:00 a.m. no matter what it’s not me go to bed early get
what it’s not me go to bed early get your sleep meditate getting a good
your sleep meditate getting a good peaceful calm creative state so that you
peaceful calm creative state so that you can really crush it rule number five
can really crush it rule number five explore life would you be in favor of
explore life would you be in favor of college students or anyone that may be
college students or anyone that may be considering it to take some time off to
considering it to take some time off to travel and experience as many new things
travel and experience as many new things as they can in order to find themselves
as they can in order to find themselves so absolutely but not to find themselves
so absolutely but not to find themselves so you create yourself you decide who
so you create yourself you decide who you want to become
you want to become but figure
but figure hang out who it is that you want to
hang out who it is that you want to become that is something that requires
become that is something that requires you to encounter a lot of things to
you to encounter a lot of things to experience a lot of life this is Kevin
experience a lot of life this is Kevin Kelly’s whole notion of don’t
Kelly’s whole notion of don’t prematurely optimize I think that some
prematurely optimize I think that some of the best advice young people are ever
of the best advice young people are ever going to hear is you really want to go
going to hear is you really want to go out and explore discover new things so
out and explore discover new things so that you can find what it is that you
that you can find what it is that you find interesting
find interesting then that’s where the discovery process
then that’s where the discovery process ends in the developing process begins
ends in the developing process begins then you begin to create this notion of
then you begin to create this notion of who you want to become and then you go
who you want to become and then you go down the path of becoming that gaining
down the path of becoming that gaining those skills developing mastery in a
those skills developing mastery in a certain area but first really make sure
certain area but first really make sure because you’re gonna give at least a
because you’re gonna give at least a decade of your life if not more to any
decade of your life if not more to any one thing so making sure that that’s
one thing so making sure that that’s something that fills you up instead of
something that fills you up instead of chipping away at you is really really
chipping away at you is really really important and the only way to do that is
important and the only way to do that is to experience a whole lot of stuff so
to experience a whole lot of stuff so yeah I have no beef with taking that
yeah I have no beef with taking that time off to go explore and discover new
time off to go explore and discover new things I think it’s incredibly powerful
things I think it’s incredibly powerful rule number six be yourself you’ve got
rule number six be yourself you’ve got two choices in life choice one you can
two choices in life choice one you can become somebody else choice – you can

become yourself now I really wish that there was only one choice but in truth
there was only one choice but in truth there’s not and most people choose to
there’s not and most people choose to try to become someone else because it’s
try to become someone else because it’s a road map
a road map it’s points in a direction you see
it’s points in a direction you see someone you respond to something you

become somebody else you have mistaken the finger for the moon instead you need
the finger for the moon instead you need to understand them being inspired by
to understand them being inspired by somebody does not mean to become that
somebody does not mean to become that person to become that which inspires you
person to become that which inspires you it is to understand fundamentally what
it is to understand fundamentally what is it about that thing that excites you
is it about that thing that excites you what is it what is its essence
what is it what is its essence and when you can find its essence then
and when you can find its essence then you can find out how it would apply to
you can find out how it would apply to you becoming you and as Zen she says
you becoming you and as Zen she says flower does not think about competing
flower does not think about competing with the flower next to it it just
with the flower next to it it just blooms and that’s really your job is to
blooms and that’s really your job is to see the outside world to see the flower
see the outside world to see the flower next to you to understand the amazing
next to you to understand the amazing things that are happening all around you
things that are happening all around you all of the incredible people and the
all of the incredible people and the essence of what they have and what it is
essence of what they have and what it is that they’ve done to bring inside
that they’ve done to bring inside yourself and find out what does that
yourself and find out what does that look like when it’s me not what do I
look like when it’s me not what do I look like when I’m them and once you
look like when I’m them and once you understand the difference between that
understand the difference between that then you can really begin to be
then you can really begin to be something unique you can become that
something unique you can become that thing that you were meant to be that

thing that makes you feel alive and whole and that’s it that’s the secret
whole and that’s it that’s the secret you’re just trying to be something not
you’re just trying to be something not that’s just inspiring to other people
that’s just inspiring to other people that you actually want to wake up every

its ability to climb a tree it will live it’s whole life believing that it’s
it’s whole life believing that it’s stupid
stupid that’s what confuses people people
that’s what confuses people people believe that they’re done because
believe that they’re done because they’re not finding their path they’re

not defining things based on what excites them and what they want to live
excites them and what they want to live with
with they’re just looking to what the outside
they’re just looking to what the outside world says is good and I think it’s
world says is good and I think it’s incredible that there are other people
incredible that there are other people doing things that are so extraordinary
doing things that are so extraordinary that we aspire to be like that you have
that we aspire to be like that you have to understand the difference between
to understand the difference between being like someone and trying to
being like someone and trying to actually be
actually be rule number seven have self-esteem we
rule number seven have self-esteem we talk of self-esteem in one of two ways
talk of self-esteem in one of two ways either as the sole determinant of
either as the sole determinant of success or as the ultimate enemy most
success or as the ultimate enemy most people build their self-esteem around
people build their self-esteem around their accomplishments they feel good
their accomplishments they feel good about themselves if they’re making the
about themselves if they’re making the most money they’re dating the hottest
most money they’re dating the hottest person or they’ve built the best product
person or they’ve built the best product they get caught in the rat race of
they get caught in the rat race of validating themselves against the person
validating themselves against the person who happens to be standing next to them
who happens to be standing next to them but there’s a fundamental flaw with this
but there’s a fundamental flaw with this equation because when your ego is that
equation because when your ego is that attached to your success its devastated
attached to your success its devastated by your failures and what the most
by your failures and what the most successful people know is you cannot
successful people know is you cannot leave your self-worth in the hands of
leave your self-worth in the hands of anyone else the most successful people
anyone else the most successful people get their pride from the different
get their pride from the different source one that does not fluctuate with
source one that does not fluctuate with their successes and failures so I knew I
their successes and failures so I knew I couldn’t give up my self-esteem I
couldn’t give up my self-esteem I couldn’t accept some weird role where I
couldn’t accept some weird role where I just was always the dumbass sitting in
just was always the dumbass sitting in the corner if I pride myself on being
the corner if I pride myself on being smart and you tell me I’m dumb and you
smart and you tell me I’m dumb and you put up a pretty good case for it that’s
put up a pretty good case for it that’s gonna damage my self-esteem my
gonna damage my self-esteem my self-esteem in that situation is very
self-esteem in that situation is very fragile
fragile if on the other hand you tell me that
if on the other hand you tell me that I’m dumb and I build my self-esteem
I’m dumb and I build my self-esteem around being the learner now I’m gonna
around being the learner now I’m gonna say thank you please tell me in what way
say thank you please tell me in what way that I’m dumb because you will open my
that I’m dumb because you will open my eyes to something that now I can address
eyes to something that now I can address and I can go learn about that thing and
and I can go learn about that thing and I will have a new skill and I can go out
I will have a new skill and I can go out and push and execute against that skill
and push and execute against that skill one of the most powerful things that you
one of the most powerful things that you could do is become the person that
could do is become the person that admits that you’re wrong really fast and
admits that you’re wrong really fast and it’s crazy how much credibility you’ll
it’s crazy how much credibility you’ll learn with people simply by admitting I
learn with people simply by admitting I was wrong like 30 seconds ago I was
was wrong like 30 seconds ago I was fighting so hard for something I was
fighting so hard for something I was really fighting for my position and then
really fighting for my position and then somebody says something and I realized
somebody says something and I realized that’s actually better imagine that the
that’s actually better imagine that the more you try to tell me I’m dumb the
more you try to tell me I’m dumb the more areas that you point out that I’m
more areas that you point out that I’m weak the more things you tell me I need
weak the more things you tell me I need to learn about my eyes are open to
to learn about my eyes are open to something that it’s true I’m gonna go
something that it’s true I’m gonna go down that path and I’m gonna learn how
down that path and I’m gonna learn how to
to and that is absolutely critical rule
and that is absolutely critical rule number eight build your reality what are
number eight build your reality what are your thoughts on changing reality with
your thoughts on changing reality with thoughts and repetitions will this
thoughts and repetitions will this workers adjust a theory okay so there’s
workers adjust a theory okay so there’s no doubt that the way that the brain
no doubt that the way that the brain rewires itself is through repetition
rewires itself is through repetition neurons that fire together wire together
neurons that fire together wire together so you very much can create reality I
so you very much can create reality I want to say that it isn’t unfortunately
want to say that it isn’t unfortunately like the matrix but it’s so close that
like the matrix but it’s so close that you might as well think of it like that
you might as well think of it like that but to me that’s just a metaphor to get
but to me that’s just a metaphor to get people to understand that you really can
people to understand that you really can influence your your hardwiring in your
influence your your hardwiring in your own brain and you certainly can
own brain and you certainly can influence the outside world by gaining a
influence the outside world by gaining a set of skills that allow you to go out
set of skills that allow you to go out and manipulate it I’ll give you a super
and manipulate it I’ll give you a super easy example learning to build a house
easy example learning to build a house means you can actually build a house and
means you can actually build a house and you can manifest that and turn a tree or
you can manifest that and turn a tree or concrete into a physical structure so
concrete into a physical structure so you can definitely have that kind of
you can definitely have that kind of influence you can obviously influence
influence you can obviously influence other people by learning about
other people by learning about psychology so all of these things are
psychology so all of these things are very very possible rule number nine my
very very possible rule number nine my personal favorite change your beliefs
personal favorite change your beliefs the matrix has you now the matrix to me
the matrix has you now the matrix to me is a simple metaphor I don’t actually
is a simple metaphor I don’t actually believe that we’re living in the
believe that we’re living in the computer simulation and even if we are I
computer simulation and even if we are I don’t think that it matters but what
don’t think that it matters but what does matter is your entire life is being
does matter is your entire life is being lived by your brain now what do I mean
lived by your brain now what do I mean by that if you know a guy named David
by that if you know a guy named David Eagleman he wrote a book called
Eagleman he wrote a book called incognito in the book incognito he makes
incognito in the book incognito he makes one thing abundantly clear you live in a
one thing abundantly clear you live in a virtual environment whether you realize
virtual environment whether you realize it or not that virtual environment is
it or not that virtual environment is created by the three pounds of squishy
created by the three pounds of squishy material between your ears
material between your ears think about this your brain never
think about this your brain never touches light your brain is encased in a
touches light your brain is encased in a bone box in total darkness and yet it
bone box in total darkness and yet it takes photons that fall on the eye and
takes photons that fall on the eye and turns it into electrochemical stimulus
turns it into electrochemical stimulus and from that it paints this environment
and from that it paints this environment it fakes the sense of depth think about
it fakes the sense of depth think about this for a second there’s not some
this for a second there’s not some little image of this room projected into
little image of this room projected into the back of my mind this is all being
the back of my mind this is all being turned into electrochemical stimulus and
turned into electrochemical stimulus and my brain then manufactures this
my brain then manufactures this environment
environment there’s actually
there’s actually dime spot blank part in your field of
dime spot blank part in your field of vision where each optic nerve connects
vision where each optic nerve connects to your eyes and yet you have no
to your eyes and yet you have no experience of it that it’s completely
experience of it that it’s completely invisible to you even though it’s
invisible to you even though it’s massive and it’s dead center in your
massive and it’s dead center in your eyes the reason that you don’t
eyes the reason that you don’t experience it is because your brain
experience it is because your brain fills it in your brain makes a guess as
fills it in your brain makes a guess as to what would be there and your brain is
to what would be there and your brain is so good at guessing and so good at
so good at guessing and so good at presenting it as if it were real that
presenting it as if it were real that you have no sense it is completely
you have no sense it is completely seamless to you when I heard that I
seamless to you when I heard that I remember getting the chills and setting
remember getting the chills and setting the book down and saying my brain is
the book down and saying my brain is lying to me
lying to me that rat now the question becomes if
that rat now the question becomes if this is all made up if the sense of
this is all made up if the sense of distance between you and I is completely
distance between you and I is completely manufactured by my brain and it’s not
manufactured by my brain and it’s not real meaning what I see of it it’s real
real meaning what I see of it it’s real enough and that if I walk I’ll hit you
enough and that if I walk I’ll hit you at about the point that I’m expecting to
at about the point that I’m expecting to bump into you because my brain can
bump into you because my brain can create that sense of distance but it’s
create that sense of distance but it’s doing it by translating those signals
doing it by translating those signals it’s manufacturing this space so if
it’s manufacturing this space so if that’s true and my brain fills in the
that’s true and my brain fills in the gaps does my brain also have biases and
gaps does my brain also have biases and the answer is yes neuroscience has gone
the answer is yes neuroscience has gone deep into how many different biases that
deep into how many different biases that we have as humans I’ll give you one
we have as humans I’ll give you one because this one is profoundly impactful
because this one is profoundly impactful you’re more likely to believe something
you’re more likely to believe something negative than you are something positive
now think about how that can echo through your life each of us has to
through your life each of us has to realize that all of the beliefs that we
realize that all of the beliefs that we have in our life are choices the scary
have in our life are choices the scary part about the most important beliefs in
part about the most important beliefs in your life as most of them are invisible
your life as most of them are invisible I’m going to give you a couple questions
I’m going to give you a couple questions that will highlight invisible beliefs
that will highlight invisible beliefs that you have that are controlling your
that you have that are controlling your life that are exactly why I say the
life that are exactly why I say the matrix has you because depending on how
matrix has you because depending on how you answer these questions will
you answer these questions will determine your life and if you don’t
determine your life and if you don’t recognize something scary in your own
recognize something scary in your own answers think about the people that you
answers think about the people that you love that you want to help and you can’t
love that you want to help and you can’t and you wonder why the answer is almost
and you wonder why the answer is almost certainly related to how they answer
certainly related to how they answer some of these questions number one this
some of these questions number one this comes from Einstein he said the most
comes from Einstein he said the most important decision
important decision the most important decision any human
the most important decision any human being must make is whether or not you
being must make is whether or not you live in a friendly or a hostile universe
live in a friendly or a hostile universe now we could have said realization but
now we could have said realization but he didn’t he said decision you have to
he didn’t he said decision you have to decide because there is no empirical
decide because there is no empirical truth you don’t live in either a
truth you don’t live in either a friendly or a hostile universe you
friendly or a hostile universe you decide and that perception that
decide and that perception that viewpoint from which you judge
viewpoint from which you judge everything else that happens in your
everything else that happens in your life will be colored by whether or not
life will be colored by whether or not you think it is a universe that is
you think it is a universe that is working for you or against you and it’s
working for you or against you and it’s a choice but most people think of their
a choice but most people think of their viewpoint is being patently real as
viewpoint is being patently real as being just objective and true and so
being just objective and true and so they never stop to question the fact
they never stop to question the fact that they actually decided that at some
that they actually decided that at some point either because their parents acted
point either because their parents acted in accordance with that it was either
in accordance with that it was either hostile or friendly and they just
hostile or friendly and they just absorbed that or their friends or the
absorbed that or their friends or the people that they work with or whatever
people that they work with or whatever but somewhere along the line they came
but somewhere along the line they came to believe that they live in either a
to believe that they live in either a friendly or a hostile universe but you
friendly or a hostile universe but you could change right now right now you
could change right now right now you could make a different decision and if
could make a different decision and if you believe that the world is working
you believe that the world is working against you right now you could choose
against you right now you could choose to believe that it’s actually working
to believe that it’s actually working for you and in making a fundamentally
for you and in making a fundamentally new and different assumption it empowers
new and different assumption it empowers you to move forward and this is
you to move forward and this is something that I will repeat in this
something that I will repeat in this talk the reason that matters is human
talk the reason that matters is human beings do not invest energy in things
beings do not invest energy in things that they don’t think will yield a
that they don’t think will yield a result and rule number 10 the last one
result and rule number 10 the last one before a very special bonus clip is
before a very special bonus clip is enjoy the moment as Martin Luther said
enjoy the moment as Martin Luther said even if I knew that tomorrow the world
even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces I would still plant
