greatness is the most demanding mistress
you’re ever going to encounter and I
understand the advice that I’m about to
give you is not for everyone most people
should turn this off but if you’re gonna
stick with me if you’re going to listen
to what I have to say it’s because you
want something tremendous in your life
you want to stand out from everyone else
you want to do something more than other
people think as possible you literally
want to stand outside the norm and if
that’s the case for you then understand
that as Albert Einstein said only one
who devotes himself to a cause with his
whole strength and soul can be a true
master
for this reason mastery demands all of a
person if you want to get great if you
really want to make a skill set your own
if you want to be able to do something
and at the end of the day if you want to
transform the world if you want to make
grand changes if you want to do all of
that all the empty words that
people spout all the time let me tell
you the only thing that’s going to
separate you from all the other
blowhards we’re just talking words and
we’ll never do anything is to give
yourself over completely to let that
obsession let that thing that you love
completely consume you and in that your
only chance to really become great lies
as friends Kafka said don’t bend don’t
water down don’t try to make it logical
rather follow your most intense
obsessions mercilessly can you do that
can you become mercilessly obsessed
can you let something occupy you to
where all logic and reason is gone out
the window and the only thing that
matters is whether or not you accomplish
will you hold yourself accountable to
metrics will you look
the world and see am I actually making
change are you prepared to hold yourself
to that standard because if you are
there is nothing you can’t do if
you’re willing to take that
responsibility on to transform yourself
as a human being if you give your self
over to getting great if you give
yourself over to that obsession if you
feed it like you would feed a beast if
you feed it like you would feed a fire
that can wipe out an entire mountainside
then you’ve got a chance but it’s got to
burn within you like that you’ve got to
feed it like that you’ve got to feed its
skills you’ve got to get better every
day you’ve got to constantly wake up and
understand exactly what it is you’re
building towards that and build towards
it with a relentlessness that other
people think is mania that other people
can see only madness in what you do and
if you can push yourself to that level
then the world will bend to your will
there is nothing you cannot be there’s
nothing you cannot do there’s nothing
you cannot have
you’re the most magnificent almost
remarkable the most splendid being God
has ever created
who could reject such wondrous
magnificence but you do not know who you
are then you think you are a great deal
less I tell you this you are you’re a
whole roll maker you set the gargoyles
and you decide how well you have done
how well you are doing but you are the
one which decided who and what you
really are and who you want to be and
you are the only one who can assess how
well you’re doing all you see in your
world is the outcome of your idea about
it
do you want your life to truly take off
life will take off for you then when you
choose for it to make a choice like you
just decide you have not so chosen as
yet you have procrastinated prolonged
protracted to protested now it’s time
that you promulgated and produced what
you’ve been promised what is gonna be
who you’re gonna be how you’re gonna do
it just decide your world would not be
in its present condition where you’d
have simply listened to your experience
the result of your not listening to your
experiences that you keep reliving it
over and over again you cannot resist
something to which you grant no reality
the act of resisting a thing is the act
of granting it life when you resist an
energy you place it there you attract
not just what you fear you attract what
you feel what you are the more you
resist the more you link agree do
whatever it is you’re resisting what you
open your eyes to look at disappears
that is it ceases to hold it’s illusory
form if you look at something truly look
at it you can see right through it and
right through any illusion it holds for
you leaving nothing but ultimate reality
in your sight in the face of ultimate
reality your puny illusion has no power
it cannot belong hold you in its
weakening grip you see the truth of it
then the truth set you free it’s only
when you say I did this can you find the
power to change it it is much easier to
change what you are doing than to change
what another is doing
the first step in changing anything is
to know and accept that you have chosen
it to be what it is you are always in
the process of creating every moment
every minute every day how you can
create will go into later for now just
take my word for it you are a big
creation machine and you are turning out
a new manifestation literally as fast as
you can think we really do paint our
world with our thoughts and our levels
of belief you are a three-fold being you
can stir body mind and spirit you could
also call these the physical the non
physical and the metaphysical the
process of creation starts with thought
an idea conception visualization if you
see it in your mind you can hold it in
your hand everything you see was once
someone’s idea nothing exists in your
world that did not first exist this pure
thought you have a clear picture in your
head if something is gonna happen and
clear belief in that it will happen no
matter what thought is the first level
of creation if you can see it here next
comes the word and you have the courage
enough to speak it it will happen
everything you say is a thought
expressed it is creative and sends forth
creative energy into the universe I
wrote myself a check for 10 million
dollars for acting services rendered and
I gave myself five years there are three
years maybe and I put it in my wallet
and I kept it there and it deteriorated
and deteriorated and stuff and and but
then just before Thanksgiving 1995 I
found out that I was gonna be
ten million dollars on dumb and dumber
next comes action actions are words more
feed words are thoughts expressed
thoughts are ideas visualize them you
know go eat a sandwich go first to your
highest thought about yourself
imagine that you that you would be if
you lived that thought every day imagine
what you would think do and say and how
you would respond to what others do and
say every second of every day I was
daydreaming put the new car up on your
mirror put the weight you want to be on
the refrigerator if you could see it in
your mind you could hold it in your hand
so do you want your life to take off
begin at once to imagine it the way you
want it to be and move into that check
every thought word an action that does
not fall into harmony with that move
away from us when you have a thought
that is not in alignment with your
higher vision change to a new thought
then and there when you say a thing that
is out of alignment with your grandest
idea make a note not to say something
like that again when you do a thing that
is misaligned with your best intention
decide to make that the last time and
make it right with whomever was involved
if you can
as they achieve my dreams and by doing
it eventually they came true
this will require tremendous mental and
physical effort it will entail constant
monitor moment monitoring of your every
thought word and deed will involve
continued choice making consciously this
whole process is a massive move to
consciousness what you will find out if
you undertake this challenges that
you’ve spent half your life unconscious
that is to say unaware on a conscious
level of what you are choosing in the
way of thoughts words and deeds until
you experience the aftermath of them
then when you experience these results
you deny that your thoughts words and
deeds had anything to do with them I
want to remind you
to continue to dream
and dream big
[Music]
what dream or vision do you want to turn
into reality there is nothing you cannot
be there’s nothing you cannot do there’s
nothing you cannot have
[Music]
if you’re going to try go all the way
otherwise don’t even start if you are
going to try go all the way there is no
other feeling like that you will be
alone with the God and the nights will
flame with fire do it do it do it do it
all the way whoa the way you will ride
life straight to perfect laughter it’s
the only good fight there is if you’re
going to try go all the way I wanted to
spell a myth for you it’s the talent
myth
it’s the belief that some people were
just born with more than others that
some people are naturally gifted in some
art and that’s just the way the cookie
crumbles and whatever you’re gonna be is
essentially determined by how you
started that your DNA is exactly your
destiny I’m here to tell you right now
that’s
it’s just not true it’s not the truth of
the way that humans are designed as a
species were the ultimate adaptation
machine but the very thing that puts us
at the top of the pyramid is our ability
to adapt it is the fact that the brain
is plastic that it responds to change it
responds to stressors it responds to
repetition and repetition is a slave to
obsession as Conor McGregor said there’s
no talent here this is hard work this is
an obsession you could be anyone if you
put in the time that’s one of the
greatest athletes of our time telling
you that he’s not the result of genetics
he’s not the result of natural gifts he
hasn’t been bestowed something by God he
has shown up day after day in the most
mundane of conditions on the cold days
on the hot days he put in the work
because he was obsessed with what he
could become and that repetition that
you need to actually gain a skill
follows that obsession so in you right
now right now today you want to start
building that obsession you want to look
at it like an ember that can become a
raging fire but it needs your time and
attention
it needs your time and attention you’ve
got to take that interest you’ve got to
take that spark of desire and you’ve got
to fan the flames you’ve got to turn it
into that obsession and from that
obsession if you put in the work if you
do that
day in and day out the back-breaking
work pushing through the pain
fighting through feeling like an idiot
fighting through embarrassment getting
up brushing yourself off doing it again
practicing putting yourself at
somebody’s feet and asking what could I
have done better not look at the things
you’re doing well but look at the things
we’re doing wrong look at the things
you’re doing poorly staring at your
inadequacies with no loss of pride
because the only thing you value in
yourself is your willingness to do that
you’re willing is to work your ass off
and as Sylvester Stallone said I’m not
the richest smartest or most talented
person in the world but I succeed
because I keep going and going and going
and that’s the secret there’s nothing
more than that
the people that you see that win at the
highest level they were the ones that
didn’t give up they’re the survivors and
you’ve got to ask yourself am i a
survivor type am I the type of person
that continues to push through when it
gets hard when it gets boring when I
feel lost when I don’t know what I’m
doing when I have no faith in myself
even in that darkest hour can I push
forward can I accept that the human body
will respond to that stress it will
respond to that stimulus but I have to
show up and I have to do the work and so
that’s the beautiful thing you’re not
gonna separate yourself based on your
genetics you’re not gonna separate
yourself based on who your parents were
where you were born
you’re gonna separate yourself by
showing up when you don’t want to you’re
gonna separate yourself by pushing
forward when it hurts
you’re gonna separate yourself by always
moving forward even when the forward is
falling on your face so never lose sight
of that it’s the person that keeps going
that can’t be defeated I wrote myself a
check for ten million dollars for acting
services rendered and I gave myself five
years there are three years maybe you
have a clearer picture in your head if
something is gonna happen a clearer
belief in that it will happen no matter
what and I put it in my wallet and I
kept it there and deteriorated and
deteriorated and stuff and and but then
just before Thanksgiving 1995 I found
out that I was gonna make 10 million
dollars on dumb and dumber I learned a
lot from Jim Carrey on that show and he
is absolutely correct if you could see
it and believe it it is a lot easier to
achieve it if you can see it here and
you have the courage enough to speak it
it will happen if you see it in your
you can hold it in your hand you attract
not just what you fear you attract what
you feel what you lost if they have a
very clear vision a very clear goal of
where they want to go because only then
you will get make a choice right you
just decide what is gonna be who you’re
gonna be how you’re gonna do it just
decide
[Music]
all right anyone I need walk of life
think I won’t achieve things that are
deemed unthinkable and impossible like
attracts like you have to understand you
are a magnet whatever you are that’s
what you draw to you there’s ocean works
if you work hard yeah well yeah that’s
that they visualize them you know go eat
a sandwich a lot of times people believe
in certain things but they keep to
themselves they don’t put it out there
and truly believe in it you are creating
that law of attraction and it will
become reality I want to remind you
to continue to dream and dream big I
stayed true to my dreams and my doing
that eventually they came true
we really do pay our world with our
thoughts and our level of self belief
every second of every day I was
daydreaming it put the new car up on
your mirror put the weights you want to
be on the refrigerator if you could see
it in your mind you could hold it in
your hand you can now tell your son that
he was a part of this so I look forward
to the day when I can show him show him
this
you know the man show me what hard work
can achieve and show them that if you
work hard you can achieve great things
everybody’s successful Laser blue for
now you know I can go down a list from
comedians to actors to entrepreneurs to
self-made mobile you’re looking for
people to start off with a small vision
and that vision manifesting something
beyond expectation
what dream or vision do you want to turn
into reality
[Music]
[Music]
I want to implement what it took to get
this life and really instill peril and
focus
and dedication into his wine sector
because now
and achieves his own rights don’t let
anybody steer you away but where you
want to be a month not your parents not
your teachers not your guidance
counselor’s if you have a passion that
you feel confident that you can do it go
after it
the hell with everybody else this is
your life you have the tools and
resources when you wake up every day you
know that you’re blessed you can give an
opportunity that most people in life
have not you have the ability to live
your dreams
first and foremost starts with
identifying I wouldn’t even start with
the skill I would start with the self
you know in the chapter on seeking
clarity we say it’s like what we found
for high performers that they’ve
identified these four things they’re
they’re more intentional use four areas
number one is high performers or
consistently seeking clarity who do I
want to be and I know a lot of people do
that when they turn 30 or 40 or 50 or 60
or 70 and people do that at new years
but high performers are doing that like
in every situation like before I when I
walk down the stairs just like who do I
want to be in this interview right now
with my friend Tom like I want to do a
good job for him you know I made that
performance necessity on myself like I
want to do a good job so I was like I
wanna be present and I’ll be
enthusiastic and old I want to be those
things high performers are constantly
seeking clarity about how they
and I think a big development growth
point for people is determining how do I
really want to treat people when they
don’t agree but when they’re hating on
me or when there’s cavalry or they’re
being mean to me or we’re in a fight
because I think some of those are the
greatest growth areas of our life you
know we have all these comparisons that
cause us cortisol or anxiety that shut
us down and then we stop performing our
best because we’re trying to follow
somebody versus just go to our thing
there is a difference between passion
and obsession and high performers have
obsession about the topic right they are
obsessed about the topic in which
they’re trying to learn master grow into
and so that obsession is real I tell
people the difference here’s how you
know the difference between the two when
you’re passionate everybody cheers you
want when you’re obsessed they’re like I
gotta be so crazy
why can’t you be satisfied why do you
always got to get things so perfect why
you spend so much time here when you’re
obsessed people think you’re nuts
so it’s different and it’s like I was
telling about if no one thinks you’re
crazy you’re not yet operating to the
outer limits
you’re not there because somebody in
your life should say and you really care
about this like a crazy way and when you
get there you know you found your thing
you’re not even fighting not only finds
that we have to determine the feeling
that we are after and live into that
feeling not hope it lands on us and
that’s when someone starts getting real
mastery in life determine what the
questions you’re going to ask at the end
of your life are going to be find out
those questions what will you ask at the
end of your life to evaluate your life
so that you would know if you were happy
with your life like figure out those
questions and then live each day
intentionally so you’re happy with the
answers at the end no your questions man
live intentionally and earn the life
that you’ve been given because this
moment is a blessing so earn this moment
and live intentionally and with someone
actually asked when they say do I want
to make an impact and the answer is yes
and they own it they realize they’re
gonna have to develop they can no longer
leave their growth to mediate you know
to to to randomness because if they do
they’ll always be mediocre and they
realize I got to become something
entirely above both of those that’s what
most people don’t see they’re like it’s
we’ve made this binary false
conversation right it’s a it’s it’s not
a true sort of choice here it’s a false
dichotomy we call it right it’s not
strengths or weaknesses many of you if
you have a big dream a huge goal you got
to become something entirely above and
beyond any strengths you even know about
feel or own and go way beyond any
weaknesses you’ve ever even addressed or
even you know about cuz you’re gonna
discover so many new strengths and so
many new weakness is on the path that
it’s almost irrelevant what they are now
it’s what’s the goal and build into that
so I think it’s true for everybody you
gotta own your morning you got to win it
because that starts and sets up
everything else I know you can you
believe that as well
but people need that discipline those
routines that will help the rest of
their day go better psychologists talk
about the power expectancy when you talk
about motivation there’s only two things
that the spark motivation one is
ambition and that is I want more of or I
want a greater depth of right I want a
greater depth of connection with my lady
that’s ambition where I wanted a better
meditative practice that’s ambition I’m
gonna be better at my job that’s
ambition so it starts with ambition but
ambition if it’s not couple of what they
call it expectancy in psychology you’re
screwed
expectancy says I believe that I can
figure that out I believe that I can
achieve that I believe that that is
possible for me because if we don’t
believe it’s possible for me you can
show them all the results from 1000
people so they don’t try expect to sees
the problem you got busted through the
beliefs to get them to understand it is
possible for them not for other people
for them and if you can open that gate
for somebody and often that’s only
achieved through learning then you get
somebody who starts really moving
I mean really moving ahead like the
second to go wait that’s possible for me
they’ll try 50 stupid things right
they’ll try anything but if they don’t
lose fossil for them they’ll just quit
if there is no joy when you wake up in
the morning if if you dread the sound of
the alarm clock going off if you feel
stagnant if you have the thought in your
head that there has got to be more to
life than this you know what you should
do I want you to know something but the
bigger your dream is I want you to
understand the heart of the grind the
bigger your dream is the early you will
have to get up longer you’re going to
have to stay up the bigger your dream in
the more efforts you won’t have to put
in you’ll never see it for those of you
who are 70% 70% peat smoke 30% gazelle
that’s just enough for that other person
I’ll do you listen to me that’s just
enough for the other person who wants
just what you want
I want you to think about those goals I
want you to taste them I want you to I
want you to be I want you to internalize
it I’m telling you the drinking your
drink cuz I want you to feel it I want
you to taste it I want you to know how
close I want you just like when the
weather is changing you can feel it I
want you to be able to feel when you’re
getting closer to it it closer to it but
more importantly I want you to know when
you dream your dream that there are
other people who dream the exact same
dream when you said to yourself when the
ball comes out this is what I want to
accomplish you’re not the only person
that wants to accomplish it and now I
ask you this question what do you do
when a thousand other people want
exactly what you want what do you do
when you’re not the only one that wants
to make a million dollars in your
company you’re not the only one that
wants to be the president you’re not the
only one that wants to be a CEO what if
you’re not the only one that wants what
you want
what if there are thousands of other
people who want what you want you have
to outwork them you got our brine them
you got to get up earlier you got to
stay up later
you’ve got to execute and you’ve got to
go from seven if other people are
putting in quarter hour work weeks and
you’re putting in 100 hour work weeks
you will achieve in four months but it
takes them a year to achieve
stop crying and just keep hustling
hustle is the most important word ever
if you want this if you’re miserable or
if you don’t like it where you want to
do something else and you have a passion
somewhere else work 9:00 to 5:00 spend a
couple hours a family 7 to 2 in the
morning is plenty of time to do damage I
mean you start building your equity in
your brand or whatever you’re trying to
accomplish after hours everybody has
time stop watching lost if you really
have a drive and you really put your
heart and soul into something you can
really make anything happen I wanted to
just prove everybody wrong you know what
I mean I wanted to make it and I was
gonna make it regardless of what anybody
said this thing you’re doing it for
yourself you’re not doing if anybody
else yes your family supports you yes
your friends support you but you’re
doing it for yourself at the end of the
day my breakthrough was actually decided
I wanted to be an actor and go into
drama college they changed my life it
turned my dreams into a reality
it gave me an actual tangible target to
go Oh actually I could do this that was
my breakthrough because it was a
breakthrough of my mind ideas don’t come
out fully formed they only become clear
as you work on them you just have to get
started look yourself in the mirror and
ask yourself what do I want to do every
day for the rest of my life do that
right now is not the time to stop can’t
stop you’re stopping right now now it’s
not the time to stop or worry or or back
up or become apathetic now is the time
to start again every day start over now
is not the time to start our backup and
retreat or get lost in all the problems
look you got to assume right now that
you can do way more way more than you’re
doing
ask yourself this question what is my
potential is my potential greater than
what I’m delivering and regardless of
what people think about my achievements
or lack of achievements whatever the
case is look around you and what you see
is average everywhere average has become
an epidemic you don’t have people living
up to their potential your people doing
almost nothing people retreating backing
up people gonna lazy now is the time to
start again your security your family
secure your future is left in your hands
your destiny is yours not someone else
if there is no joy when you wake up in
the morning if if you dread the sound of
the alarm clock going on
if you feel stagnant if you have the
thought in your head that there has got
to be more to life in this you know what
you should do you should stop doing
whatever it is you do you will become
exceptional the moment you make an
exceptional decision the only bigger
changes your wife is making a decision
you have to be and so clear in your mind
exactly what you want to do and what you
want to achieve and for me it doesn’t
work without any goals without any
targets I cannot compete properly
commitment is when you now after you’ve
decided you commit to do this for the
long term whether it’s hard or easy
doesn’t matter you’re doing this
if you’re having a difficult time with
something your relationship isn’t where
you want it to be your finances are not
where you want to be your body’s not
where you want to be your business is
not where it want to be you need to take
massive action if that doesn’t work try
something else so that’s his work try
something else keep going with massive
action and you will find the way because
it will give you momentum you have to be
able to see what doesn’t exist in order
to be able to pull off or achieve what
in most people’s mind seems to be
impossible
[Music]
you’re ever going to encounter and I
understand the advice that I’m about to

reality your puny illusion has no power
it cannot belong hold you in its
weakening grip you see the truth of it
then the truth set you free it’s only
when you say I did this can you find the
power to change it it is much easier to
change what you are doing than to change
what another is doing
the first step in changing anything is
to know and accept that you have chosen
it to be what it is you are always in
the process of creating every moment
every minute every day how you can
create will go into later for now just
take my word for it you are a big
creation machine and you are turning out
a new manifestation literally as fast as
you can think we really do paint our
world with our thoughts and our levels
of belief you are a three-fold being you
can stir body mind and spirit you could
also call these the physical the non
physical and the metaphysical the
process of creation starts with thought
an idea conception visualization if you
see it in your mind you can hold it in
your hand everything you see was once
someone’s idea nothing exists in your
world that did not first exist this pure
thought you have a clear picture in your
head if something is gonna happen and
clear belief in that it will happen no
matter what thought is the first level
of creation if you can see it here next
comes the word and you have the courage
enough to speak it it will happen
everything you say is a thought
expressed it is creative and sends forth
creative energy into the universe I
wrote myself a check for 10 million
dollars for acting services rendered and
I gave myself five years there are three
years maybe and I put it in my wallet
and I kept it there and it deteriorated
and deteriorated and stuff and and but
then just before Thanksgiving 1995 I
found out that I was gonna be
ten million dollars on dumb and dumber
next comes action actions are words more
feed words are thoughts expressed
thoughts are ideas visualize them you
know go eat a sandwich go first to your
highest thought about yourself
imagine that you that you would be if
you lived that thought every day imagine
what you would think do and say and how
you would respond to what others do and
say every second of every day I was
daydreaming put the new car up on your
mirror put the weight you want to be on
the refrigerator if you could see it in
your mind you could hold it in your hand
so do you want your life to take off
begin at once to imagine it the way you
want it to be and move into that check
every thought word an action that does
not fall into harmony with that move
away from us when you have a thought
that is not in alignment with your
higher vision change to a new thought
then and there when you say a thing that
is out of alignment with your grandest
idea make a note not to say something
like that again when you do a thing that
is misaligned with your best intention
decide to make that the last time and
make it right with whomever was involved
if you can
as they achieve my dreams and by doing
it eventually they came true
this will require tremendous mental and
physical effort it will entail constant
monitor moment monitoring of your every
thought word and deed will involve
continued choice making consciously this
whole process is a massive move to
consciousness what you will find out if
you undertake this challenges that
you’ve spent half your life unconscious
that is to say unaware on a conscious
level of what you are choosing in the
way of thoughts words and deeds until
you experience the aftermath of them
then when you experience these results
you deny that your thoughts words and
deeds had anything to do with them I
want to remind you
to continue to dream
and dream big
[Music]
what dream or vision do you want to turn
into reality there is nothing you cannot
be there’s nothing you cannot do there’s
nothing you cannot have
[Music]
if you’re going to try go all the way
otherwise don’t even start if you are
going to try go all the way there is no
other feeling like that you will be
alone with the God and the nights will
flame with fire do it do it do it do it
all the way whoa the way you will ride
life straight to perfect laughter it’s
the only good fight there is if you’re
going to try go all the way I wanted to
spell a myth for you it’s the talent
myth
it’s the belief that some people were
just born with more than others that
some people are naturally gifted in some
art and that’s just the way the cookie
crumbles and whatever you’re gonna be is
essentially determined by how you
started that your DNA is exactly your
destiny I’m here to tell you right now
that’s
it’s just not true it’s not the truth of
the way that humans are designed as a
species were the ultimate adaptation
machine but the very thing that puts us
at the top of the pyramid is our ability
to adapt it is the fact that the brain
is plastic that it responds to change it
responds to stressors it responds to
repetition and repetition is a slave to
obsession as Conor McGregor said there’s
no talent here this is hard work this is
an obsession you could be anyone if you
put in the time that’s one of the
greatest athletes of our time telling
you that he’s not the result of genetics
he’s not the result of natural gifts he
hasn’t been bestowed something by God he
has shown up day after day in the most
mundane of conditions on the cold days
on the hot days he put in the work
because he was obsessed with what he
could become and that repetition that
you need to actually gain a skill
follows that obsession so in you right
now right now today you want to start
building that obsession you want to look
at it like an ember that can become a
raging fire but it needs your time and
attention
it needs your time and attention you’ve
got to take that interest you’ve got to
take that spark of desire and you’ve got
to fan the flames you’ve got to turn it
into that obsession and from that
obsession if you put in the work if you
do that
day in and day out the back-breaking
work pushing through the pain
fighting through feeling like an idiot
fighting through embarrassment getting
up brushing yourself off doing it again
practicing putting yourself at
somebody’s feet and asking what could I
have done better not look at the things
you’re doing well but look at the things
we’re doing wrong look at the things
you’re doing poorly staring at your
inadequacies with no loss of pride
because the only thing you value in
yourself is your willingness to do that
you’re willing is to work your ass off
and as Sylvester Stallone said I’m not
the richest smartest or most talented
person in the world but I succeed
because I keep going and going and going
and that’s the secret there’s nothing
more than that
the people that you see that win at the
highest level they were the ones that
didn’t give up they’re the survivors and
you’ve got to ask yourself am i a
survivor type am I the type of person
that continues to push through when it
gets hard when it gets boring when I
feel lost when I don’t know what I’m
doing when I have no faith in myself
even in that darkest hour can I push
forward can I accept that the human body
will respond to that stress it will
respond to that stimulus but I have to
show up and I have to do the work and so
that’s the beautiful thing you’re not
gonna separate yourself based on your
genetics you’re not gonna separate
yourself based on who your parents were
where you were born
you’re gonna separate yourself by
showing up when you don’t want to you’re
gonna separate yourself by pushing
forward when it hurts
you’re gonna separate yourself by always
moving forward even when the forward is
falling on your face so never lose sight
of that it’s the person that keeps going
that can’t be defeated I wrote myself a
check for ten million dollars for acting
services rendered and I gave myself five
years there are three years maybe you
have a clearer picture in your head if
something is gonna happen a clearer
belief in that it will happen no matter
what and I put it in my wallet and I
kept it there and deteriorated and
deteriorated and stuff and and but then
just before Thanksgiving 1995 I found
out that I was gonna make 10 million
dollars on dumb and dumber I learned a
lot from Jim Carrey on that show and he
is absolutely correct if you could see
it and believe it it is a lot easier to
achieve it if you can see it here and
you have the courage enough to speak it
it will happen if you see it in your
you can hold it in your hand you attract
not just what you fear you attract what
you feel what you lost if they have a
very clear vision a very clear goal of
where they want to go because only then
you will get make a choice right you
just decide what is gonna be who you’re
gonna be how you’re gonna do it just
decide
[Music]
all right anyone I need walk of life
think I won’t achieve things that are
deemed unthinkable and impossible like
attracts like you have to understand you
are a magnet whatever you are that’s
what you draw to you there’s ocean works
if you work hard yeah well yeah that’s
that they visualize them you know go eat
a sandwich a lot of times people believe
in certain things but they keep to
themselves they don’t put it out there
and truly believe in it you are creating
that law of attraction and it will
become reality I want to remind you
to continue to dream and dream big I
stayed true to my dreams and my doing
that eventually they came true
we really do pay our world with our
thoughts and our level of self belief
every second of every day I was
daydreaming it put the new car up on
your mirror put the weights you want to
be on the refrigerator if you could see
it in your mind you could hold it in
your hand you can now tell your son that
he was a part of this so I look forward
to the day when I can show him show him
this
you know the man show me what hard work
can achieve and show them that if you
work hard you can achieve great things
everybody’s successful Laser blue for
now you know I can go down a list from
comedians to actors to entrepreneurs to
self-made mobile you’re looking for
people to start off with a small vision
and that vision manifesting something
beyond expectation
what dream or vision do you want to turn
into reality
[Music]
[Music]
I want to implement what it took to get
this life and really instill peril and
focus
and dedication into his wine sector
because now
and achieves his own rights don’t let
anybody steer you away but where you
want to be a month not your parents not
your teachers not your guidance
counselor’s if you have a passion that
you feel confident that you can do it go
after it
the hell with everybody else this is
your life you have the tools and
resources when you wake up every day you
know that you’re blessed you can give an
opportunity that most people in life
have not you have the ability to live
your dreams
first and foremost starts with
identifying I wouldn’t even start with
the skill I would start with the self
you know in the chapter on seeking
clarity we say it’s like what we found
for high performers that they’ve
identified these four things they’re
they’re more intentional use four areas
number one is high performers or
consistently seeking clarity who do I
want to be and I know a lot of people do
that when they turn 30 or 40 or 50 or 60
or 70 and people do that at new years
but high performers are doing that like
in every situation like before I when I
walk down the stairs just like who do I
want to be in this interview right now
with my friend Tom like I want to do a
good job for him you know I made that
performance necessity on myself like I
want to do a good job so I was like I
wanna be present and I’ll be
enthusiastic and old I want to be those
things high performers are constantly
seeking clarity about how they
and I think a big development growth
point for people is determining how do I
really want to treat people when they
don’t agree but when they’re hating on
me or when there’s cavalry or they’re
being mean to me or we’re in a fight
because I think some of those are the
greatest growth areas of our life you
know we have all these comparisons that
cause us cortisol or anxiety that shut
us down and then we stop performing our
best because we’re trying to follow
somebody versus just go to our thing
there is a difference between passion
and obsession and high performers have
obsession about the topic right they are
obsessed about the topic in which
they’re trying to learn master grow into
and so that obsession is real I tell
people the difference here’s how you
know the difference between the two when
you’re passionate everybody cheers you
want when you’re obsessed they’re like I
gotta be so crazy
why can’t you be satisfied why do you
always got to get things so perfect why
you spend so much time here when you’re
obsessed people think you’re nuts
so it’s different and it’s like I was
telling about if no one thinks you’re
crazy you’re not yet operating to the
outer limits
you’re not there because somebody in
your life should say and you really care
about this like a crazy way and when you
get there you know you found your thing
you’re not even fighting not only finds
that we have to determine the feeling
that we are after and live into that
feeling not hope it lands on us and
that’s when someone starts getting real
mastery in life determine what the
questions you’re going to ask at the end
of your life are going to be find out
those questions what will you ask at the
end of your life to evaluate your life
so that you would know if you were happy
with your life like figure out those
questions and then live each day
intentionally so you’re happy with the
answers at the end no your questions man
live intentionally and earn the life
that you’ve been given because this
moment is a blessing so earn this moment
and live intentionally and with someone
actually asked when they say do I want
to make an impact and the answer is yes
and they own it they realize they’re
gonna have to develop they can no longer
leave their growth to mediate you know
to to to randomness because if they do
they’ll always be mediocre and they
realize I got to become something
entirely above both of those that’s what
most people don’t see they’re like it’s
we’ve made this binary false
conversation right it’s a it’s it’s not
a true sort of choice here it’s a false
dichotomy we call it right it’s not
strengths or weaknesses many of you if
you have a big dream a huge goal you got
to become something entirely above and
beyond any strengths you even know about
feel or own and go way beyond any
weaknesses you’ve ever even addressed or
even you know about cuz you’re gonna
discover so many new strengths and so
many new weakness is on the path that
it’s almost irrelevant what they are now
it’s what’s the goal and build into that
so I think it’s true for everybody you
gotta own your morning you got to win it
because that starts and sets up
everything else I know you can you
believe that as well
but people need that discipline those
routines that will help the rest of
their day go better psychologists talk
about the power expectancy when you talk
about motivation there’s only two things
that the spark motivation one is
ambition and that is I want more of or I
want a greater depth of right I want a
greater depth of connection with my lady
that’s ambition where I wanted a better
meditative practice that’s ambition I’m
gonna be better at my job that’s
ambition so it starts with ambition but
ambition if it’s not couple of what they
call it expectancy in psychology you’re
screwed
expectancy says I believe that I can
figure that out I believe that I can
achieve that I believe that that is
possible for me because if we don’t
believe it’s possible for me you can
show them all the results from 1000
people so they don’t try expect to sees
the problem you got busted through the
beliefs to get them to understand it is
possible for them not for other people
for them and if you can open that gate
for somebody and often that’s only
achieved through learning then you get
somebody who starts really moving
I mean really moving ahead like the
second to go wait that’s possible for me
they’ll try 50 stupid things right
they’ll try anything but if they don’t
lose fossil for them they’ll just quit
if there is no joy when you wake up in
the morning if if you dread the sound of
the alarm clock going off if you feel
stagnant if you have the thought in your
head that there has got to be more to
life than this you know what you should
do I want you to know something but the
bigger your dream is I want you to
understand the heart of the grind the
bigger your dream is the early you will
have to get up longer you’re going to
have to stay up the bigger your dream in
the more efforts you won’t have to put
in you’ll never see it for those of you
who are 70% 70% peat smoke 30% gazelle
that’s just enough for that other person
I’ll do you listen to me that’s just
enough for the other person who wants
just what you want
I want you to think about those goals I
want you to taste them I want you to I
want you to be I want you to internalize
it I’m telling you the drinking your
drink cuz I want you to feel it I want
you to taste it I want you to know how
close I want you just like when the
weather is changing you can feel it I
want you to be able to feel when you’re
getting closer to it it closer to it but
more importantly I want you to know when
you dream your dream that there are
other people who dream the exact same
dream when you said to yourself when the
ball comes out this is what I want to
accomplish you’re not the only person
that wants to accomplish it and now I
ask you this question what do you do
when a thousand other people want
exactly what you want what do you do
when you’re not the only one that wants
to make a million dollars in your
company you’re not the only one that
wants to be the president you’re not the
only one that wants to be a CEO what if
you’re not the only one that wants what
you want
what if there are thousands of other
people who want what you want you have
to outwork them you got our brine them
you got to get up earlier you got to
stay up later
you’ve got to execute and you’ve got to
go from seven if other people are
putting in quarter hour work weeks and
you’re putting in 100 hour work weeks
you will achieve in four months but it
takes them a year to achieve
stop crying and just keep hustling
hustle is the most important word ever
if you want this if you’re miserable or
if you don’t like it where you want to
do something else and you have a passion
somewhere else work 9:00 to 5:00 spend a
couple hours a family 7 to 2 in the
morning is plenty of time to do damage I
mean you start building your equity in
your brand or whatever you’re trying to
accomplish after hours everybody has
time stop watching lost if you really
have a drive and you really put your
heart and soul into something you can
really make anything happen I wanted to
just prove everybody wrong you know what
I mean I wanted to make it and I was
gonna make it regardless of what anybody
said this thing you’re doing it for
yourself you’re not doing if anybody
else yes your family supports you yes
your friends support you but you’re
doing it for yourself at the end of the
day my breakthrough was actually decided
I wanted to be an actor and go into
drama college they changed my life it
turned my dreams into a reality
it gave me an actual tangible target to
go Oh actually I could do this that was
my breakthrough because it was a
breakthrough of my mind ideas don’t come
out fully formed they only become clear
as you work on them you just have to get
started look yourself in the mirror and
ask yourself what do I want to do every
day for the rest of my life do that
right now is not the time to stop can’t
stop you’re stopping right now now it’s
not the time to stop or worry or or back
up or become apathetic now is the time
to start again every day start over now
is not the time to start our backup and
retreat or get lost in all the problems
look you got to assume right now that
you can do way more way more than you’re
doing
ask yourself this question what is my
potential is my potential greater than
what I’m delivering and regardless of
what people think about my achievements
or lack of achievements whatever the
case is look around you and what you see
is average everywhere average has become
an epidemic you don’t have people living
up to their potential your people doing
almost nothing people retreating backing
up people gonna lazy now is the time to
start again your security your family
secure your future is left in your hands
your destiny is yours not someone else
if there is no joy when you wake up in
the morning if if you dread the sound of
the alarm clock going on
if you feel stagnant if you have the
thought in your head that there has got
to be more to life in this you know what
you should do you should stop doing
whatever it is you do you will become
exceptional the moment you make an
exceptional decision the only bigger
changes your wife is making a decision
you have to be and so clear in your mind
exactly what you want to do and what you
want to achieve and for me it doesn’t
work without any goals without any
targets I cannot compete properly
commitment is when you now after you’ve
decided you commit to do this for the
long term whether it’s hard or easy
doesn’t matter you’re doing this
if you’re having a difficult time with
something your relationship isn’t where
you want it to be your finances are not
where you want to be your body’s not
where you want to be your business is
not where it want to be you need to take
massive action if that doesn’t work try
something else so that’s his work try
something else keep going with massive
action and you will find the way because
it will give you momentum you have to be
able to see what doesn’t exist in order
to be able to pull off or achieve what
in most people’s mind seems to be
impossible
