TAKE THE FIRST STEP – Powerful Motivational Video for Success in Life & Study 2018 (life changing)


to me the reason that people say that
knowledge is power is for one simple
reason as you accumulate it it gives you
the ability to do more you literally
become capable of more you’re able to
bring knowledge into your life to
literally transform what you’re able to
manifest in the world and at the end of
the day the very definition of power for
me is the ability to close your eyes and
imagine a world and then open them and
make that world come true but the thing
that holds people back is their own ego
and as Epictetus said one cannot learn
what they think they already know and
that’s the danger that’s how people get
themselves into trouble it feels so good
to know something it feels like as
you’re collecting this information and
becoming more powerful you just want to
focus on that you want to sink into that
feeling you want to see yourself in the
mirror as somebody capable of somebody
who’s capable of more today than they
were yesterday and in that truth because
you are but in that truth is a trap and
the trap is to begin to feel that you
know something to think of yourself as a
master that’s why as Socrates said the
only true wisdom is in knowing you know
nothing because that’s how you’re going
to get really powerful that’s how you’re
going to open yourself up to that
knowledge to bring it into your world
and even as you grow more powerful even
as you grow more capable you’re always
looking for the ways that you’re wrong
you’re always looking for that
information you are always focused on
how you can get better and you really
open yourself with a humility that most
people cannot bring into their world
they cannot accept any vision of
themselves as anything other than a
master but the master is the one who’s
trapped the master is the one who
calcifies the master is the one so
brittle they break but the student the
student is always willing to learn the
steam is looking for that opportunity
the student is trying to be around
people that know more than they know so
that they can learn so that they can
become more powerful so that they can
close their eyes imagine a world and
then open their eyes and make that world
come true and at the end of the day that
should be the sole aim of your life is
to have something that you want to bring
to this world that you are going to be
relentless about acquiring the skills
that are going to allow you to do that
and the only way that you’re going to be
able to get there is to drop your ego
and recognize there’s power in knowing
nothing when your pursuit is to learn
everything
I’ve seen a lot of incredible people
stopped by an unwillingness to let go of
a past that doesn’t help them but as
Lily Tomlin said forgiveness means
giving up hope for a better past and
that’s the truth isn’t it there’s
nothing you can do about the past
there’s nothing you can do to undo it or
to change what’s already been done and
yet somehow this is the area that people
struggle most with in their lives the
thing that is hardest for people is to
recognize the immutability of that fact
there’s nothing you can do it’s done and
gone forever and there’s no way to get
it back and the key in your life is to
understand that that’s fine that you’re
going to learn from what happened that
you’re gonna grow and get better and
that living your life in the past is
stopping you from having a future
but as Seneca noted every new beginning
comes from some other beginnings end and
if you can accept that if you can
literally close the door on your past if
you can accept it’s never going to get
better if you can accept that it is what
it is if you can accept that part of
what makes you a beautiful human being
is that horrible thing that happened to
you or that horrible thing that you did
that thing that you think there’s no way
you could ever be forgiven for but
there’s no one to forgive you but you
and the only thing that you need to
realize in order to give yourself that
forgiveness is to understand that
nothing is ever going to make it any
different but in the way that you think
you can make it better and just by
reframing that by reframing what’s
happened by asking yourself a very
simple question how is that bad thing
that happened to you actually the best
thing that ever happened to you and if
you can take control of that situation
and really look into it and understand
that from that something has come or
something can come that is great that
makes you stronger
that makes you better and that the
fortitude to look at that thing the
fortitude to find in
that pain something beautiful something
that makes you a better person something
that allows you to help other people
then then you really can free yourself
from being bound by the past and turn
into something new
close the door on something so that you
really can go somewhere new and in the
discovery of that new you in the
discovery of the new place that you can
go in the discovery of something new and
better for yourself you realize that
you’re writing that future and once you
realize that you’re writing your future
once you realize that you can help other
people write theirs once you realize
that you can take control of all that
mental baggage and turn it into
something positive that literally the
bricks that wage you down can be the
bricks with which you build something
new then you will go on to do something
incredible then you will go on to help
other people then you will lift other
people up and be able to do something
that brings Beauty to this world but
first you have to forgive first you have
to understand that you’re never going to
have a better past but you can
definitely have a better future
why’s life turning out the way it is
turning out why is love so often so hard
to find and then to keep why is goodness
and kindness and compassion and even a
smiling face sometimes so hard to find
in our day to day experience must our
lives consist of drama drama and more
drama day in and day out know and
understand that there will be challenges
and difficult times don’t try to avoid
them welcome them gratefully cultivate
the technique of seeing all problems as
opportunities opportunities to be and
decide who you really are
every human thought and every human
action is based in either love or fear
there is no other human motivation and
all other ideas are but derivatives of
these two there are simply different
versions different twists on the same
theme
they compass deeply and you will see
that it is true there is nothing it
cannot be there is nothing you cannot do
there is nothing you cannot have yet if
you knew who you are that you are the
most magnificent the most remarkable the
most splendid being God has ever created
he would never fear but you do not know
who you are and you think you are great
stillness you are your own rule maker
you set the guidelines and you decide
who you are and who you want to be do
you want your life to truly take off
life will take off for you when you then
choose it to do so you have not so
chosen as yet you have procrastinated
prolonged protracted protested now it is
time that you promulgated and produced
what you have been promised your world
would not be in this present condition
where you have simply listened to your
experience 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 the more you
resist the more you make it real
stop looking all over the place for the
answers whatever they are and start
looking for the questions the inquiries
which are most important in your life
and give them answers you do not live
each day to discover what it holds for
you but to create it there is no
coincidence and nothing happens by
accident
each event an adventure is called to
yourself by yourself in order that you
might create that experience who you
really are all that is required is to
know this for you are the creator of
your own reality and life can show up in
no other way for you than the way in
which you think it will by your shining
example seek only greatness speak only
in truthfulness act only in love live
the law of love now and forevermore give
everything require nothing avoid the
mundane do not accept the unacceptable
move forward with no second-guess no
guilt trips no hesitation neva Ravi Kant
said the only way to truly learn
something is by doing it yes listen to
guidance but don’t wait that is such a
powerful idea and I know right now
you’re listening to this because you
want motivation you want to be inspired
but my greatest fear is that you’ll get
motivated you’ll get inspired and
that’ll just be a declining art for a
few minutes after you listen to this
video that ends with you doing nothing
and what I want what I really hope for
and the reason that I give myself over
to making these so completely as I know
some percentage of you on the other side
of this will ultimately be prepared to
take that first step you will realize
that the only thing
Matters is action and you will take that
action and it’s in that action that your
potential greatness waits and as Martin
Luther King said take the first step in
faith you don’t have to see the whole
staircase just take the first step
you’ve just got to believe that you can
learn you don’t have to believe that
you’re already capable of doing what you
want you don’t have to believe that you
can already build that thing that you
dream you don’t have to believe that you
already are extraordinary you simply
have to believe that if you take that
first step you put yourself on a journey
not of execution you put yourself on a
journey of learning so that you can
execute and that when you understand
that difference that’s when you really
will be on that path to greatness and
that is the thing that I want for
everybody listening to this please
understand the only thing you need to
know is that you have to take the first
step whatever the vision is that you
have for your life you absolutely can
make it come true and the process is
very simple the process is about
learning the process is about growing
and getting better it’s about
recognizing what you’re not good at it’s
about recognizing what you have to learn
it’s about taking that first step on
faith on faith that you can get better
not on faith that you’re great on faith
that you can become the greatest of all
time once you have that faith once you
know that simply being a human being
puts you in this rare category of
creature that can get better through
pressure through pain through difficulty
through failure those are the things
that are going to be the building blocks
of your success but in order to begin on
that road in order to have your first
glorious failure you must first take
that first step so please don’t waste
your time being motivated or inspired
spend every second of your time
moving forward that’s how you’re gonna
get where you want to go what’s your
next chapter what is the next chapter of
your life I don’t care how young you are
how old you are I want to turn the
tables back on you I want you to think
about where you’ve been I want you to
think about why are you here there is a
new chapter starting in your life in
your business and your relationships and
it’s gonna start right now how does a
human get to the next level that’s the
question
wherever you are now in any area of life
it could be a clinical arena like how
you feel
it could be relationships or it could be
performance the question we’re always
looking at is how do we get better than
we are today
how do we get to more the people who
learn how to prime their brain every
single day to take the actions that they
should take the people who prime their
brain to visualize the obstacles that
are in the way of their goals and
visualize them overcoming their
obstacles because they’ve created a plan
and thought about it in advanced are the
ones who achieve the goals and dreams
that they said you have to make a
conscious choice every day to expose
your mind to positive messages so I put
myself on a regimen I do this every day
and I suggest that you do it write this
down number one listen to motivational
messages every day if you have choosing
your future a set of tapes and CDs that
we produce or creating your greatest
life I guarantee you if you do what I’m
sharing with you right now for six
straight months every day your life will
never be the same again
I guarantee it 100% I believe every
single one of us has genius within us I
believe every single one of us has this
brilliance longing to see the light of
the day I believe every single person on
the planet has a mighty mission and is
available for a magnificent obsession in
their own original way genius is so much
less about your genetics and genius is
so much more about your daily habits the
eminent American psychologist James
Flynn uses a term called capitalization
and what he has found is that the best
footballers the best boxers the best
hip-hop artists the best painters the
best entrepreneurs are not the most
gifted people in the road they just
exploit whatever talent they have more
than their peers in their industry and
that capitalization so what I’m trying
to suggest to you is you do have the
opportunity to be BIW best in the world
at your craft the question is are you
structuring your life are you installing
the right mindsets heart sets structures
and daily habits to bring on your a-game
for the benefit of your life and for the
benefit of the world you listen every
day for 1 hour to creating your greatest
life any of those messages because faith
comes by hearing and hearing and hearing
what it will begin to do is interrupt
the story in your mind it will override
the story that you believe about
yourself it will distract all the
negative thoughts that you have that’s
holding you back that held me back for
14 years but I used to go see the number
one motivational speaker on the planet
Zig Ziglar and Tony Robbins and and my
heart said I can do that I love to help
people I’m just like my mother and then
my mind would ask how I went for my
to my mind and my mind will say less
father you don’t have a college
education less round you never work for
a major corporation less round you were
labeled educable mentally retarded they
call you DT the dumb twin you’re not as
smart as your brother
have you ever thought about something
you wanted to do and you convinced
yourself that you couldn’t do it see
sometimes we need to have some external
voices and so by listening to
motivational messages that begin to
override the negative thoughts that I
had about myself in my mind and it gave
me a new story and empowered me and gave
me a vision of myself beyond my
circumstances and mental conditioning
and started me to writing a new chapter
in my life
[Music]
so ignore the negative the naysayers the
people and also the part of yourself
that say you cannot do it you will fail
just ignore do not let them touch your
skin do not let them get in your head
do not listen that is why I clothed
yourself in positivity protect yourself
so one you have to do is that you have
to have a mindset development strategy
where you are deliberately taking an
hour every day listening to a
motivational message every day here’s
something else read 10 to 15 pages of
something positive every day why and
read it with conviction and and stay
focused 10 to 15 pages every day this is
seven days a week absolutely absolutely
every day McDonald’s know that you know
where they are Burger King know that you
know where they are but every day they
have some advertising you have
billboards have radio they have
television why because by exposing you
to those messages that will begin to
impact your behavior and it will drive
you into the place to purchase what
they’re advertising now you’re
advertising for your greatness and faith
comes by hearing and hearing and hearing
and hearing so you want to listen to
positive messages every day you do this
I’m telling you your life will never be
the same again and read 10 to 15 pages
of something positive every day I read
two to three books a week why because I
have goals and dreams of things I want
to achieve
Aristotle said that 95% of everything
you do is the result of habit so the
rule is form good habits and make them
your masters rather than allowing bad
habits to form in fact the other rule
says this is that good habits are hard
to form but easy to live with bad habits
are easy to form but hard to live with
now one of the turning points in my life
in my studies of psychology was the
discovery that all habits are learned
and can be unlearned actually you don’t
actually unlearn a habit you simply
replace a bad habit with a good habit
that has more powerful power and impact
and how do you develop a good habit you
did not have a habit by repetition once
you are determined nothing can stop you
and remember every failure brings you a
step closer to your goal brings you a
step closer to your dream
[Music]
when you go to sleep at night think
about your goals for the coming day make
a list for each day of all the goals the
little goals you’re going to accomplish
that day keep a journal and write down
your goals on a regular basis when
you’re driving through the day think
about your goals when you talk to other
people think about your goals you do
become what you think about most of the
time you do achieve what you think about
most of the time so all successful
people and all wealthy people think
about their roles most of the time see
MIT did a study this study indicated
that you earn within two to three
thousand dollars of your closest friends
not only that I start reading books
every day and listening to positive
messages but I separated myself from my
friends who did not have goals and who
did not have dreams why because people
rub off on us call a mind virus you earn
within two to three thousand dollars of
your closest friends so when you upgrade
your relationships you’ve got to ask
yourself the question who is it that I
need to associate with that I can learn
from that I can grow mentally
emotionally spiritually and financially
by aligning myself with another person
that I can learn from adopted Dennis
Kimbrell said if you’re the smartest one
in your group you need to get a new
group life is too short and
unpredictable list as Helen Keller would
say eat the dessert first
don’t let it find you sliding down the
same note I don’t know what your goals
are I don’t know what your dreams are
here’s what I know about you you have
greatness within you here’s what I know
about you and I don’t even know you but
based upon my own experience you were
chosen on purpose for a purpose one out
of 400 million sperm you have greatness
within you but greatness is a choice
it’s not suggesting it’s a choice that
you have to make every day choose ye
this day whom ye shall serve the
mediocre part of yourself or the
greatness that you were chosen
[Music]
you see anybody can do it
if they feel like it’s when you don’t
feel like it and you do it anyway that
you eventually develop the soft
discipline that makes everything else
possible so don’t be anyone you don’t
want to be you can change yourself just
like that in the blink of an eye once
you have understood the law of
positivity live your life in a great
spirit of confidence and determination
disregard appearances conditions in fact
all evidence of your senses that deny
the fulfillment of your desire rest in
the assumption that you are already what
you want to be for in that determined
assumption you and your goals are merged
into one so do not ignore positive
energy and use it thanks for watching
