power begins from within if you’re aware
of who you are if you’re aware of what
you’re good at what you’re not good at
if you’re able to see how emotions kind
of govern your life if you can learn
what your weaknesses are and how to
control them you can’t ever get complete
control but awareness is almost enough
slowly through this process of knowing
who you are and understanding other
people and how they operate so you don’t
make stupid mistakes in life you can
increase that little tiny March and more
and more and more and you will be a
person of power law number one in the 48
laws of power is called never outshine
the master and almost every single
person in the world has violated that
law myself included basically how it
works you’re so eager to impress your
boss or whomever in your new job that
you try so hard that you make him or her
feel insecure like maybe you’re younger
and better than they are and because of
that you’re fired or something bad
happens to you and you never know why do
you think meditation is allowing you to
make more interesting connections
because of the the quiet yes I mean I’m
not gonna go too deeply into this it’s a
theory of creativity that’s not my own
but that I use a lot in mastery and
basically the idea is that ideas are
generated in the unconscious they’re not
generated consciously your conscious
mind is very limited what you can hold
in your memory but unconsciously in your
subconscious when you’re asleep when
you’re dreaming the mind is filled with
thousands upon thousands of ideas and
things that are there that are lingering
there and connections are being made all
of the time and if occasionally those
connections float up to your conscious
mind and you have an a brilliant idea
about how to do something 1 out of 10
people are like great manipulators and
there’s just takes one person and they
can ruin your life we were born with
this natural talent every single person
is born with this talent for getting
inside the minds of other people it’s
it’s something that you don’t even
you’re not even aware of how do they
mean
to conceive of that how to what end are
they using that skill to make their own
dreams come true first thing is you’re
not aware of this power that you have
you’re walking a lot around in life I’m
not critical because I’m the same sort
of sleepwalking you’re inside hearing
your own thoughts day in day out like a
continually you know circling loop in
your head and you’re not aware of the
fact that if you stop that and you look
at other people a world opens up to you
so what’s the first component in that
world nonverbal communication 95% of
what really matters in communication
between people is not through words
words are used to deceive you to
disguise what people are really thinking
what are what are just a step or two
that they can take down that path
starting today the first thing to
understand is the most important and
that it is a skill if you want to play
the piano you can’t just sit down and
suddenly play you’ve got to practice and
you’ve got to practice it every day and
if you practice an hour a day you’re
gonna get better at it why are children
able to learn and an adult can’t the
reason is children don’t think that
they’re superior they don’t think that
they already understand the world
they’re the small they’re weak they’re
defenseless they have to learn or
they’re gonna die they have to learn how
to speak the language they have to learn
how what’s going on with their parents
or they’re literally gonna die do you
have tricks that you use for ensuring
that genius does not become a young
man’s game that your books truly get
better and better over time
basically every time I begin a book I’m
deathly afraid of failing I feel like oh
it’s not gonna sell as well as the last
book I’m losing it I got to go back to
square one each project each thing that
you do in life you have to kind of
create that that feeling in the gut like
oh I don’t know if I’m gonna be able to
pull it off I don’t know if I can go 12
rounds with Floyd Mayweather this time I
don’t know it the secret really to
success in life I have to say is
retaining III by the semester is
retaining your child like qualities if
you’re completely a child that’s not
gonna work negative capability is rule
number one for being a creative person
and if you don’t follow anything else in
mastery that would be enough the ability
to keep two ideas that contradict each
other in your mind without feeling
uncomfortable without having to come to
a conclusion you can think about
something without rushing to judgment a
conclusion you can be in the moment you
can say well it could be this it could
be that it could be that and you don’t
have to decide whether it’s a B or C
you’re open to adopting three or four
different viewpoints if you love music
don’t quit your job and play guitar like
you think you can have a hard time
feeding your family but you have advice
for them what is that advice yeah but
people saying you know live your passion
so these are cliches and nobody changes
their life based on the cliche you know
you’ve got to do hard work and to do
hard work you have to have a road map
somebody has to show you step to get
there working for yourself starting your
own company doing what you love should
be everybody’s goal this the process
begins by first knowing what you really
love and believe me I do a lot of
consulting a lot of people have no
self-awareness they don’t even really
know what it is that they were meant to
do in life
they loved music when they were a kid
but then they got into law or whatever
because of their parents and then they
don’t know who they are anymore what do
I really like music
you got to go through that process first
of figuring out what it is that really
connects to you in a deep visceral way
what you loved when you were a kid what
still excites you once you go through
that and you understand it you’ve got
some clarity about it okay how do I
incorporate that in my life
so if you’re 23 years old it’s a little
easier I love music but I’m not a
musician because I’ve not been
practicing I just love music but I act
I’m have a real good sense of business
I’ve been studying business and I have
an MBA etc okay I’ve got to now find a
way to craft a career that combines my
knowledge of business and my love of
music and if I follow that and I do it
smart and I plan it out eventually what
starts out with more more business than
music will end up becoming more creative
as I get better and better at it how do
you prepare somebody to survive that
initial stage of your boredom and pain
well pain is great you’ve got to embrace
pain pain is pleasure you’ve got to make
the connection between the physical and
the mental well you know that when
you’re exercising when you’re running or
you’re working out whatever it hurts but
it leads to something pleasurable you
have to be able to translate that to
mental things and if you make that could
that switch in your mind it is
mind-blowing what can happen to you who
are the most messed up people in the
world spoiled kids kids who are given
everything who have a rich father or
mother and they don’t have to work or
try they are the most messed up people
you’ll ever meet each person I make this
point in mastery is born unique and it’s
kind of a clip one of those cliches but
there’s science to it the science is
your DNA will has never been will never
be repeated the way your brain is wired
will never be repeated your experiences
in life you’re one of a kind and it’s
amazing thought if you think about it of
all of the billions of humans that have
lived and will ever live there will
never be anybody who is wired like you
are wired and the problem in life is as
you get older you can become more and
more like other people other people you
spend a lot of your time thinking about
what other people like and you don’t
you’re not aware of what you like you go
into careers because you listen to other
people if you look at all of the
brilliant people who’ve succeeded in
life if you look at a Steve Jobs you
look at an Elon Musk etc there’s nobody
else out there like them you’re never
gonna be able to pinpoint one other
person like them they are completely
unique and doubt those are the people
that end up having power in the world so
if you’re gonna able to create that
website that blog that whatever it is
that startup that is different that has
its own niche and reflects you something
good will happen control people’s
perceptions of reality and you control
them it’s a great military strategy
comes from the great Colonel Boyd who
invented the what’s known as the OODA
loops and he came up with the OODA loop
which means orientation observation
decision action you have to observe what
is happening orient yourself into the
context of it decide what you need to do
and act we want to believe that there
are shortcuts to success we want to
believe we can take a drug or we can do
something that’ll make it quick and easy
but the truth is it takes grit it takes
persistence so it’s hard to understand
what could happen to you in ten years in
a visceral gut way of what it means to
failed in life and to me failure in life
is not
not having money it’s not realizing your
potential you’re 60 years old and you
said I could have been this and I never
did it that’s like the worst thought I
think anybody can have and you don’t
think about it in the moment because
your life is okay but you’ve got to wake
up and understand that there’s an
urgency here and that if you’re not
practicing something now if you’re not
aware if you don’t have a path towards
something better you’re rotting on the
vine and and that day of reckoning will
come at some point and it will be
painful you’re not gonna feel that
suddenly it’ll be slow but it’ll come
and it won’t be good just being aware
that you now have a plan is enough to
lift you out of that depression okay I’m
working at Burger King but I know I’m
gonna get to this community college and
get a degree here after I save enough
money having a goal is like aa will
change you completely from being
depressed or not taking care of yourself
to being energized and moving in the right direction
of who you are if you’re aware of what
you’re good at what you’re not good at
if you’re able to see how emotions kind
of govern your life if you can learn
what your weaknesses are and how to
control them you can’t ever get complete
control but awareness is almost enough
slowly through this process of knowing
who you are and understanding other
