as Joseph Campbell said we’re so engaged
in doing things to achieve purposes of
outer value that we forget the inner
value the rapture that is associated
with being alive is what it’s all about
that my friends is the name of the game
you’ve got to figure out what it is that
actually makes you feel alive and if you
understand that the game that you’re
playing is actually a game of brain
chemistry and that nothing else matters
there’s no objective truth there’s no
one path to glory there’s no one life
for you to live there’s only the
subjective truth the thing inside you
that gut instinct that voice that
whispers to you you’ve got to learn to
trust that you’ve got to learn to trust
it by building it up you’ve got to learn
to trust by taking actions and gut
checking yourself and asking is that me
is that who I want to be or is that
somebody else cultural voice my parents
my love or whatever trying to speak
through me and it’s Harley Davidson said
when writing the story of your life
don’t let anyone else hold the pen so
right now ask yourself please writing
your story is that you are you really
listening to the voice in your head are
you looking at and living by the things
that give you the chill or are you
trying to live a life that somebody else
wants for you and remember when you
think about that question what William
James said activists what you do matters
because it does even if for nobody else
every step you take every thought that
you allow to come yet your mind
everything you obsess about your dream
the things that we want the hope that
you spend your time with they matter to
you because they tell you who you are
they tell you who you’re trying to
become and ultimately those things that
you let monopolize your mind will be
coming you so if somebody else is
holding the pen if somebody else is
fourth you need to write something that
doesn’t make you feel alive that is a
Lifeloc and that is how you die my
friends before you ever had a chance to
live
[Music]
unfortunately one of the most common
reasons why some people will never find
the courage to pursue their dream is
because they succeed in convincing
themselves that they have too much to
lose and trying now that could be a job
or it might be a car or a house or a
lifestyle it could be a relationship it
or it might just be comfort and security
in general you know we all have such a
limited finite amount of time on earth
life is so incredibly short and with
every passing day yours gets shorter so
this idea of feeling like you have
something to lose is really just a self
imprisoning delusion that would prevent
you from ever doing anything
extraordinary that involves risk at all
an idea that might just condemn you to a
life of mediocrity and an idea that will
send you to your grave with all of your
good ideas and all of your potential
unfulfilled that terrifies me and if I’m
talking to you right now and this is you
I think it’s important to ask yourself
what it is that alternate lis matters
more
ask yourself what I rather stick with
the life I’ve settled for right now when
it’s relative comfort even though it’s
making me unhappy or am i deserving of
desiring and destined for more now this
decision should become a bit of a
no-brainer when you heed the words of
the late great Steve Jobs you said
remembering that I’m going to die
someday is the best way to avoid the
trap of thinking that I have something
to lose none of this stuff is coming
with you you are already naked there is
nothing to lose and following your heart
only to gain the only things you do have
to lose if time spent living a life that
isn’t true to you
when you’re alone with your thoughts you
get an idea of what your thoughts
actually are if you live your life just
acting constantly on the momentum of
other people’s expectations of you
wanting to be liked by these other
people you can run into a trap and you
you you set up a life that you didn’t
really want you’re you’re you’re
you’re trapped in this situation where
you have a mortgage
you’ve got credit card bills you’ve got
student loans you have to pay you have a
bunch of going on you have to
continue to feed and all that and
especially if you have a family and you
have to feed them oh my goodness
then you’re fully locked in you can’t
take any chances whatsoever and
oftentimes people make the mistake of
getting stuck and it is just a tactical
mistake just like it would be a mistake
if you got stuck on a video game
just like it would be a mistake if you
followed a map incorrectly and you get
stuck in the woods your life is
certainly some sort of a journey it’s
certainly some sort of a journey and we
have to all be aware that when we’re
making journeys we’re not going to
always make the right steps and
sometimes you have to back up and try
again and if you’re in a position where
you can’t back up and try again you’ve
trapped yourself and the system will set
out honey pots for people to get trapped
in the system will set out the ideas of
retirement the ideas of the golden years
providing you benefits providing you a
healthy work environment why well
because they want people to work for
them you don’t want people to realize
their own dreams and escape and yeah so
you got to hire more people and train
them and they want to set it up so that
you stick around stick around some sort
of an unsatisfying world it’s up to you
see that video game problem
see that issue as it comes up on the map
known I think this is a right turn to
see all the problems that could
potentially lay in front of you and
calculate your your future and then also
look around all the people that didn’t
do it and look at the misery that
they’re in and learn you don’t want to
be like that and then look at the people
that are kind of tipping chances
navigated their way what do they do
differently what would objectivity do
they have that maybe you lack what
insight into their own mistakes are they
willing to delve into that you’re not
that you step back because no I don’t
stone I just don’t want to look at
myself that closely but the person who’s
able to look at themselves the closest
is going to get the more rational
results well put you know because you’re
your own architect I never knew how to
turn things around
you show me your crowd I’ll show you
your future it’s simple right
there’s three type of people you need in
your life you need to inspire the
excited and the grateful every one of
them you will need for the rest of your
life but you’re your biggest your
biggest distraction is tell me what your
foundation is where did where do you go
when you need these you don’t know what
to do you know what to do but the people
you’re around they doing what you’re
supposed to be doing I’m begging you man
go begging from the man’s money
let go let go let go of these people who
you know aren’t for you
you know better but you’re not doing
better make a choice like you just
decide what is it about you about what
it is that you provide that will make
you stand out from the competition think
about yourself
think about your goals think about your
dreams being in a great house does not
make you great it’s one thing to have
great parents but that doesn’t make you
great
it’s one thing to work for a great
company corporation that’s great but
that doesn’t mean you’re great because
you’re in that great house or that great
corporation or that great church or that
great family that you remember of you’re
either adding to the greatness of that
family or you’re diminishing it and they
said it’s possible to be in a great
house but you not be great you not be
gold you not even be silver you not be
brass you just be dirt or clay
a lot of people think that wealth makes
you great but it’s a lot of wealthy
people who are not great people
on the other hand poverty is equated
into greatness in a lot of people that
that if they have nothing they must be
great you’re not greatness you’re
greatness is not based upon your income
there are some people who are good at
doing but they’re not good at being
greatness will cost you something not
somebody else
it’ll cost you something it’s going to
cost you some time it’s going to cost
you some energy it’s going to cost you
some resources it’s going to cost you
some hours of your life
laying down paying the price going the
extra mile doing what other people are
not willing to do greatness is not cheap
greatness always costs more that’s why
there’s not many people who achieve
greatness they’re not willing to pay the
price greatness is not immediate
in other words greatness takes time to
develop you can’t just run in your room
and come out great
greatness is not immediate you got to
stay with it you’ve got to stay at it
you got to keep working only we give up
too quickly greatness is not common
[Music]
greatness does not have to have the
approval of everyone and if you are the
kind of person that will have to have
the approval of everyone and
understanding of everyone you’ll never
achieve greatness greatness is uncommon
you cannot have the approval of everyone
and be great and the sooner you
understand that the sooner you do great
in life you’re always going to live your
life at the lowest common denominator of
your friends if you don’t like it you
can’t believe one way and live another
way and be great
greatness is living what you believe and
living up to your potential
[Music]
usually you will not discover greatness
in a person until they go through
hardship
it’s the hardship the crisis that brings
greatness out of people
there’s something inside an internal
reservoir that won’t lie down and stay
down and whine and call their most three
defeated friends and have a pity party
but there’s something about a person
that when does when the waters get
troubled and all hell’s breaking loose
greatness will step up to the crisis
sometimes that respects you that in 15
years or you can listen to that advice
and it can catapult you to a place of
grace but you must be teachable to be
great you never come to a place that you
cease from learning great people never
stop learning people who are very
skilled at what they do they still want
to learn how do I get better how do I
get better one of the qualities of
greatness is it’s always wanting to get
better wanting to learn more wanting of
people who are not good are not open to
instruction
to be great you have to be able to
receive correction you have to be able
to be told you’re not doing this right
and you have to be able to be told that
with a good attitude keep a good
attitude the truth is very concise the
words are very few but people don’t want
to hear the truth or the truth hurts but
you grow from pain you really you really
do you can’t know how to deal with
success you cannot deal with failures
you can’t know how to deal with the
bumps in the road that if you haven’t
had a taste of everything we all have
next level ability there’s not other
people that aren’t holding it vacuum
bosses and holding you back your parents
are holding you back those are excuses
to me there’s no such thing as luck okay
all luck is preparation meeting
opportunity planning someone you have to
be ready prepared for that situation if
you’re an employee of this company and
the boss puts you into a pressure
situation that’s a privilege he believes
in you you better deliver so if you
don’t that situation goes to somebody
else and you may never get that
opportunity again everything matters
if you take any situation and just take
the word only and take the word just out
of it it changes the whole phrase it’s
just a game it’s a game it’s only a job
[Music]
the body has limitations the mind does
not we focus so much on what goes on
from the neck down that we forget it all
starts from here everything starching if
you’re not mentally ready you’re never
really physically prepared and that’s
where the preparation starts I firmly
believe that everybody in this room
everybody on this planet has a gift it’s
your job to figure out what that gift is
then it becomes your job to decide
whether you’re going to act on that or
not everyone sees
the work that you put in but it’s what
you don’t see is going to determine how
far you’ll again hear stuff all the time
because at home look in the mirror and
you’ll see why you’re not succeeding I
don’t believe that okay it’s what you
don’t see in the mirror that’s what’s
holding you back it’s what you’re not
willing to see is why palette is not
enough and when you when you finally see
it and accept it and decide to work on
it then you can take that next how do
you get to that next level how do I get
my business to the next place how do I
get other people to the next place look
if you want to get rich you want to be
really successful when I say rich I’m
not talking about money I’m talking
about a rich life freedom time with
family choices get to do what you want
look if you want to be in business for
yourself and free you must learn to
dominate you cannot compete do what are
you doing man what are you doing you
know what most people are going to spend
more time in their life working than any
other single thing and not being
successful you got to be totally
committed everybody agree you got to be
completely uncertain you want a million
dollars you want two million dollars you
want five million dollars how much money
do you want how much success do you want
how much notoriety do you want you want
a New York Times bestseller why can’t
you have everything open I’m 65 so what
man Colonel Colonel Harland Sanders made
all his money after you was 65 years old
he wasted the first 64 years if you’re
not sure of your own value your own
goals and what you want the world will
never reward you of what you want your
value and your goals do you need to
pressure yourself you need to cook
yourself you need a necessity level way
up here when I wake up in the morning I
write my goals down when I go to bed at
night I write my bills down it’s the
first thing and the last thing I do
every day I’ve been doing that for 25
years here are four steps you must take
to create the next level of success in
your life number one you must get
attention
you got to get attention if you got to
scream to get it get it
what do these people have in common okay
there’s Michael Jordan Warren Buffett
Steve Jobs Oprah a Navy SEAL and my
mother you know what they had in common
this greatness has in common immersion
they’re immersed they’re immersed
completely in their environment number
two they’re dedicated completely
dedicated three they have a total total
commitment immerse yourself okay you
have to immerse yourself right now with
reading the right reading audio programs
video find YouTube channels that are
good for you immerse yourself with books
audio video daily okay you hit all three
of those where I’m reading something
listening to something and watching
something these are completely different
ways to learn anybody can do this folks
anybody can do this this is not about a
college degree this is about massive
amounts of action to get attention for
yourself your brand your company your
products your ideas your dreams this
could be the greatest time you ever live
if you control what you focus on if you
find a more empowering meaning and if
you decide to model the actions of those
who succeeded before you it can be the
best financial time the best emotional
time that a spiritual time of your life
but you better take control of your
state and if you think you’re going to
do it just by today you’re wrong you’re
going to need to get yourself some
rituals I know I know what is rituals
are because your life comes from your
rituals and you don’t develop the ritual
you’re kidding yourself if you do the
right thing at the wrong time you get
paid so now it’s time to train yourself
to do that and what about that are you
grateful for will you focus on that
makes you feel great
how’s it feel when you’re really truly
feeling filled with gratitude if you
wanted to be excited about your life
right now and you’re willing to be
exciting we’ll look everybody else’s
trend what could you feel excited about
in your life if you wanted to feel
excited what could you get excited about
if you really focused on it and you
really took it in you were in a negative
place what could you get excited about
if you wanted to be excited your life or
when you’re really excited how you feel
how do you speak what’s your life like
why because focus is controlled by
questions if you ask a different
question continuously that once
continuously you will get a different
answer if you ask a lousy question you
get allow the answer and allow the state
why does this always happen to me it
doesn’t always happen to you but the
brains like a computer ask you to
question it we’ll have to come up with
an answer just stop and think about
what’s most important think about why
you’re here what’s the purpose your life
step out of the moment
and into eternity life is really really
short and I think that we don’t value
and appreciate you know our freedoms and
our opportunities in our life the
universe is yours all right and you need
to understand that success does not
require you to look out the window it
only requires that you look in the
mirror to be successful you don’t have
to look out the window and Oh where’s my
health where are the people that I need
all you guys do is stop look directly in
the mirror and the one person you need
to blow off the one person you need to
be successful is looking right back at
you and if you’re willing to make a
commitment to that person in the mirror
if you’re willing to look at that person
in the mirror saying I’ll make a
commitment to you from this day forward
that whatever it takes I’ll do whatever
it takes whatever it is you want to
accomplish or whatever it is you want to
do you literally have to see it first if
you’re not trying to get out of your
shitty situation and every day you’re
choosing to stay in it and you can’t
complain about being given the choice
you keep making you know I one of my
favorite quotes is change happens when
the pain is saying the same becomes
greater than the pain of making a change
you have to be crazy and believing what
your goal is you’re bold enough you’re
big enough to dream if you are
intentional and deliberate about it now
there’s some aspects of it that are
going to be organic but if you are
intentional and deliberate if you build
it on Monday if you build it on Tuesday
if you build it on Wednesday I want you
to understand that it’s not going to
happen by luck productivity is always
intentional and deliberate and on
Tuesday when Monday Tuesday Wednesday
Thursday Friday that nope no no luck
guys every single day if you do a little
you’re going to wake up one day and your
dreams are gonna be a reality you can’t
just say you want it you can’t watch the
video and say I wanted as bad as I want
to breathe it’s cute to say it but when
it’s Showtime when the Sun comes up when
the Sun comes up is that all the book
you’ve got all the tapes you’ve got all
the access now it’s time to hunt and
what separates you from everybody else
is that when it’s time to hunt your
radar huh everybody’s got Lions on they
profile
everybody talks positive about
themselves everybody talks like you will
be you dressed like you will be you’ve
got the cards like a beach but then when
it’s time to do with these do you back
up you got to get up and make it happen
I can I will I love every day in Africa
in the Safari a lion wakes up every
single day and in Safari a lion wakes up
all right and every single day in the
Safari of gazelle wakes up I love it I
love it
it says though here it is here’s what’s
funny it says that if you wake up and
you’re a gazelle you realize if you’re
going to survive
I as a gazelle if you’re going to
survive you must outrun the slowest
gazelle hi and your mind you’re thinking
you got to outrun the fast line that’s
not the truth you just got to stay ahead
of this low gazelle that’s it every
single day when you wake up whatever it
is that you do professionally you better
make sure you’re not in the back of the
pack you better be as close to the front
if not up front as possible because
every single day when the lion wakes up
it’s only one thing on that lion mind
and that is catching the gazelle that
couldn’t keep up now this is critical
this is not just the story this is
critical because what the gazelle
realizes is that the way it operates
that’s the way it performs that’s the
way it goes about its daily business is
contingent upon life and death that if
that gazelle does not do what he or he
is supposed to do it will be in my life
the story says that even if you are
lying even if you are a lion and you
have the advantage that when the Sun
comes up if you are good or or life you
better get to run it because if you are
a lion of avail it’s still not going to
come to you and say just beep when you
wake up nothing is going to come to you
I’m relying and when the Sun comes up I
still have to get to run it here’s the
challenge though I asked myself when I
read that story that was on the surface
I read it and I started asking myself
Ikki
what’s the difference between a gazelle
and what’s the difference between the
lion what to do I know that they’re
wired differently but what’s the
difference and what I discovered is that
the devale is running from something ask
myself the question about a lion and I
said the liar is not running to be
reported the lion is one of the eat
every single day the lion is running to
eat you’ve got to ask yourself what’s
your why what motivates you what pushes
you what tribe you you can have it you
can be you can do it many of you as I
have been as I am are where you are in
your life based upon what you believe
and it’s not just what you think you
believe on the surface it’s also your
shadow beliefs that are holding you back
from moving into the life that you
believe you deserve if you’re not
looking at the shadows if you’re not
looking at what is subconsciously
running through the tape in your mind
telling yourself you’re not good enough
you’re not worthy enough you’re not
smart enough you are not enough which is
a tape that’s playing for a lot of
people you don’t become what you want
because so much of wanting is about
living in the space of what you don’t
have
so if you start to think about that
really why are you where you are in your
life the choices that you have made have
been because of what you believe to be
true for yourself if you would like to
accomplish something you must first
expect it of yourself and my question to
you is what do you expect of yourself
if money was no object if you could wake
up and do what you wanted to do what
would you do today if it didn’t matter
what majors made the most money if you
didn’t have to worry about the pile of
bills sitting on your dorm room desk if
you didn’t have to worry about the
opinions of your friends your parents
what would you be doing today
you see if you don’t have a passion for
what you do what’s the purpose of waking
up if you wait on your alarm clock to
wake you up every day what’s the purpose
would you get up
every day you should have a purpose and
you should feel it with your passion a
lot of you are probably based in some of
the decisions where do you go from here
graduate college what’s the next step
right
sure you have certain opportunities most
of most opportunity that a lot of people
don’t have what direction do you go in
the choices you make today tomorrow they
might affect you for the next year five
years ten years or for the rest of your
life there’s one exception to this rule
you have to love what you do you have to
have a passion for anything that is a
nine or above because the time is
required to make that effectively and
efficiently to make the amount of
revenue that’s going to keep me content
maybe the next 10 15 20 30 years of your
life so if you’re not willing to give 30
years for to become a doctor and don’t
do it if you don’t have a passion for it
you’re going to wake up one day and find
out that you’re just working a job 80%
of your daily conversations are filled
with gossip if it’s not about the bigger
picture if it’s not about your goals and
it’s not about positivity or benefiting
people don’t have the conversation
you know at first people thought I was a
little even it started tell me negative
things about this producer she’ll really
stop just stop I don’t want to hear it I
know I don’t want to hear what you have
to say it’s negative about this I don’t
care if you believe in yourself and you
believe in your vision
leaving your plan and guess what I have
always had the deep understanding for
myself that if anything was going to
move forward in my life that I was going
to have to be responsible for making
that happen and I know that to be true
now and can articulate it as you are
responsible for your life and if you’re
sitting around waiting on somebody to
save you to fix you to even help you you
are wasting your time because only you
have the power to take responsibility to
move your life forward and the sooner
you get that the sooner your life gets
into gear does not matter where you come
from doesn’t matter what your mama did
whether she did or had a PhD or no D
what matters is now this moment and your
willingness to see this moment for what
it is accept it forgive the past take
responsibility and move forward my life
is over unless I decide right now to
give up this story to get up this
mindset and just decide that I’m going
to make my life the richest thing it
could be it’s in a moment it’s a flash
of a second
the pain hits and now this is the moment
of reinvention you need to get make a
decision do you make the decision how
long you want to stay in the pain and
keep repeating the process over and over
again
Oh completely reinvent yourself you make
that choice invent yourself and then
reinvent yourself reinvigorate yourself
and accept what is but only on the terms
that you have invented and reinvented be
self taught and reinvent your life
because you must it is your life and
it’s history and the present belongs
only to you I teach people but daily you
have to prime yourself you have to do
something for 10 minutes minimum good if
you don’t have 10 minutes you have a
life i prime myself that’s what I’ve
done for years it’s like I change my
body this radical breathing pattern or
rule if it’s not ways to do it but then
I do 10 minutes and I do usually go more
because I’m joy yeah but 10 minutes is I
get myself to do three and a half
minutes of pure gratitude about three
things and I pick one of those three to
be simple coz I want to be the astronaut
that you know you went to the moon that
was his idea Adventure and then they all
come back with the press is what do I do
for the rest of my life so the wind in
my face you know my children’s faces
anything and the reason for gratitude is
the two motions that messes up the most
are fear and anger
and you can’t be grateful and fearful
simultaneously don’t go together and you
can’t be angry and grateful
simultaneously so if you literally start
your day cultivating that this apart is
talking about creating a highway to
happiness yeah and then I knew three
minutes of my plea to thrive what are
three outcomes the results I’m really
committed to and I see them as done and
fulfilled I think that day I usually get
something at six months to 12 months I
something a little bigger and then what
I feel is fulfilled and done Megan
thanks for it and you’re at the end of
those ten minutes and usually it’s 15
and 18 to me I am so wired now I’ve done
that for years it’s been the basic thing
what’s different with suffering is
measuring it moment to moment and then
the third one for me is okay how do I
love more love to me as an action it’s
not a word about emotions like if you
love you act accordingly so love and
what can I do in a living way and that
one could I be grateful for it and that
little three-step process endless effort
you want to excel at something what must
you have you know what passion is
passion is an emotion it’s an emotion
without an action passion will get you
nowhere inner drive will get you nowhere
unless you act on it you have to act on
your passion you have to act on your
inner drive don’t let those feelings
stay inside of you you’ve got to know
what to do with them you got to know how
to make them work in order to get what
you want don’t keep it inside good great
unstoppable every team every work
atmosphere no matter what you do must
consist of those three personalities if
you have those three personalities and
you can identify the individuals that
have those three personalities you’re
guaranteed success in whatever you do
remember the mind controls a body the
body does not control the mind this is
about being able to think like a
champion know what goes on in their
heads understand how you can relate it
to your business and whatever you do to
take yourself to the next level so funny
we want people to make guarantee to us
but we’re not willing to make guarantees
to ourselves
you’ve never you’re not brave enough you
want to put it on somebody else the
reason why I’m not successful it’s
because of my boss have you ever looked
at yourself in the mirror and said I’m
not getting up on time I’m not going to
work on time
I’m not putting in a hundred as one’s
percent when I’m at work you’ve never
look at yourself in the mirror and said
you let you die until you get to that
point you let you die you always want to
blame other people you always want oh
you want to hold other people to the
fire but you’re not holding yourself to
the fire you just say you give it 50%
you owe you an explanation
you owe you an explanation you need to
look at yourself in the mirror and say
why are you only giving 50% what’s wrong
with you
you need to put yourself on punishment
and I stopped being a victim not saying
I’ve gotta wait for good things to
happen to me and I said I’m gonna cry
I’m going to fight I’m going to work I’m
going to press forward I’m going to
learn I’m going to do everything in my
power every single day I’m going to do
everything in my power to become a
Victor another victim winners win and
losers losers
I can’t explain it any better than that
I don’t know how would happen but
winners win and if you create a culture
of losing if you keep being a victim if
you keep letting losing happen to you if
you keep letting people do you
increasing each other way it’s gonna
become a culture
I have standard value why most people
never achieve their goals while two or
three percent really achieve a high
level of success and another percentage
reaches a decent level success but most
people pretty much live in average life
people who took this one action every
single day
we’re the ones who achieve their goals
and dreams more often than anybody else
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 achieves the goals and
dreams that they said you could have an
obstacle around what you believed you
could have an obstacle of other people
you could have an obstacle that you
don’t have the knowledge or the skill
but if you have a goal and you write
down the obstacles and then you use the
powerful amazing brain that you’ve got
to visualize yourself meeting the
obstacle and figuring out a way to
overcome the obstacle your brain starts
to work in your advantage and starts to
believe that you can actually achieve
the goal and overcome the obstacles
take a few moments and just write down
one goal then write down three or four
or five obstacles that could come in
your way then you write down all right
the outcomes that you want and you
visualize yourself overcoming the
obstacles by closing your eyes and just
seeing that obstacle in front of you and
then you jumping over you reaching over
you figuring out the problem you getting
help to achieve that goal and when you
do that you’re going to give your brain
all of the power that it needs in order
to help you figure out how to overcome
the obstacles and in order to become an
amazing goal achiever you have to accept
the fact that there will be obstacles
but you also have to prime your brain to
recognize the obstacles and to teach it
that you can overcome it and you can do
that in your mind first and you back it
up with a plan and guess what you will
start to become a goal achiever instead
of just somebody who sets a goal let go
all the stuff that’s not working and
really make a big difference in your
life in your family’s life and in the
lives of people in your community
[Music]
we talked about making your – dance
point 1 you got to be willing to do it
afraid see you might be waiting for the
fear to stop so many times we’re waiting
we’re waiting I’m waiting I’m waiting to
get something rise I see your hands
going up you got no official truth you
can raise your hand just like we did on
day zero you’re just kind of waiting
you’re waiting to get everything in
order you’re waiting you’re waiting so
that everything is is in Lluis together
you’re waiting to not be afraid you’re
waiting to have the courage you’re
waiting to have all the money you’re
waiting to lose weight I’m afraid what
do I do
do it anyway I’m afraid I don’t quite
know if I should move move anyway I
don’t know if I should leap leap afraid
and then gather your courage on the way
down and if you don’t get it before you
hit you go ahead anyway I’d rather die
leaping then on the edge figuring out
how to get the courage to meet how does
that look because you’re 80% of right at
somebody else’s hundred and fifty nine
percent of what they need what you want
to do it right and you want to wake you
not afraid and you want to wake you have
all together oh you made it about you
again see Nelson Mandela did it he just
did it not knowing if you were right
Mahatma Gandhi just did it not knowing
if it were right mother Teresa just did
it not looking for affirmation or
confirmation is this right Martin Luther
King did it not even knowing if it would
have happened before his life ended
what are you waiting on are you willing
to do it afraid are you willing to do it
knowing that you got so much work to do
to get it better to get it more perfect
but are you willing to do it inside your
imperfection do you realize that in your
imperfection you’re perfect for the job
so the secret to real happiness is
progress progress equals happiness if we
can make progress on a regular basis we
feel alive and that’s why at the
beginning of the year we get this thing
like okay I can have this fresh start
I could really deal with my soul desires
I could expand I could grow I can
improve I could change or maybe better
than change I could progress see think
about that progress is an aliveness to a
doesn’t change change is automatic but
progress is not so if you want to make
real progress then you really got to
look at your life in a different way you
got to say I got to take control of this
process and not just hope that’s going
to work out like people do to make a
resolution first step is you got to have
a vision a vision for what it is you
really truly want not what you think you
want or what you should have I mean what
are most people’s New Year’s resolutions
I’m going to stop eating sugar you know
I’m going to stop smoking I’m going to
lose 10 pounds probably that is it’s not
very inspiring from those people you
know it’s not telling you what you’re
going to get it’s only what you’re not
going to do it’s kind of hard to have
you move forward with that having
something so exciting so attractive so
something to desire so much that you
have a hard time going to sleep at night
you get so up early in the morning to
lock it and take it to the next level
I’m just saying wake yourself up when
the only thing that should scare us is
repeating the past we like and share and
pin and retweet positivity looks nice in
our newsfeed potential sounds good on
our profile but we’re full of it
gamblers without guts
fighters would fake this believers with
no balls I called myself out to go
all-in on my passion and that passion
was to take this mantra of mine called
be somebody you need to love yourself
what you really want to do if you want
to make a difference all you got to do
is one thing this value get started you
want some different listen to me all you
got to do is make a decision that’s it
but once you decide to let go and just
go then you’re falling and then and then
you’re ready for the past
let me tell you that sacrifice is just
the first step that’s the sacrifice
tones the struggle and after the
struggle hump suffering
[Music]
and then after you suffer then you sit
[Music]
the suffering is real and most people
stop at the suffering because the
suffering hurts and the suffering is
hard and it sucks to suffer choosing the
path of your passion is actually the
most difficult path you can take it to
most difficult decision you’ll ever make
it is not easy for any of them but it’s
the most need
[Music]
right and there’s beauty in that
suffering you are the fire you are your
passion if you dream it and if you
believe it and if you go all-in on it
then you will reach where deep inside
you know what kind of person you were
designed to be if you want to produce
great acorns think like an oak not like
an acorn think like the person you
intend to become like the Christian
question what would Jesus do ask
yourself how would the person I’d like
to be the Acorn has three parts it’s got
a stem a cap and a seed and the stem
represents its connection to the past
all the acorns all the Oaks that have
ever existed in its line before are
encoded in that transfer through that
stem but legacy into this acorn the cap
holds onto the seed until the seeds
ready to grow on its own so the cap
represents your coaches your mentors
your your role models your guide your
parents your friends your teachers what
kind of seed is in you I believe part of
our responsibility in life is to find
out who we are to discover ourselves
first off we need to respect our nature
we need to realize we are part of a
continuing chain that carries a legacy
and a responsibility there are many
things we can do with our lives and I
think it’s our job to find out what
those things are and to do them as well
as we possibly can so that we’re passing
along the right imprint for the next
generation
so first we need to respect our nature
second we need to know our nature take
care of saddles advise know thyself but
know things about yourself that most
people don’t discover for example know
how you’re smart not just how smart you
are in comparison to others in what ways
are you smart know what you care about
or what are the values that motivate
your choices if you will spend one extra
hour each day studying your chosen field
you’ll be a national expert in that
field and five years or less so nurture
your nature figure out first off I am
valuable except that I want to know who
I am and I want to know how I operate
and how can I understand me better and
then I want to nurture that nature I
want to apply myself in the world and
put myself to work in such ways that the
rest of the world says well that’s cool
so ask yourself every day how would the
person I’d like to
do the things everybody wants the good
life but not everybody gets a good life
let me tell you what it takes you’ve got
to get it before you leave this is what
it takes it takes energy and it takes
effort that’s all you need to do to be
successful here what I’m telling you you
need to put more energy into what you’re
doing than anybody else
it’s supposed to be hard the hard is
what makes it great
all right the hard work they do practice
fine day they’ll just die this time when
you run and you just want to stop us on
and give up that trick there were this
others want to go home the day we get up
and know what you have a training today
you know don’t be intense thing like ah
I don’t want to go today when you gotta
go so are there not people don’t know
look at the day like I’ve written in the
book that the day is 24 hours six hours
of you sleep so you’ve left 18 hours so
don’t ever give me this thing that oh my
god I’m working 12 hours and I don’t
have time to exercise and we work out I
don’t have time to study another
language and all this kind of it you
have you know 18 hours in to utilize the
18 hours as well and that’s really what
I always believed in and I feel like
that’s the only way you can get ahead if
you have the very clear vision where you
want to go and if you’re willing to put
the work in the middle what it takes to
get them to turn this vision into
reality make a choice like you just
decide what it’s going to be who you’re
going to be how you’re going to do it
just decide everybody has the desire to
do something
if you got to desire you got to match
match that desire with your dedication
and you got to mention what your
discipline discipline is doing something
that nobody else will ever do and you
have to dedicate yourself to that you
have to dedicate yourself to the craft
understanding that there may be some
good that come out of it and you have to
prepare yourself but you have to look at
a bigger picture you have to have belief
in yourself and you have to have faith
in yourself faith is not read as having
understand that everything will be okay
but faith is is understanding that if
things don’t go your way or if it
doesn’t turn out the way you want to
it’s still going to be okay
what you’re trying to do to become
better at that position and the fashion
industry is it’s not so clear-cut
it’s all about just trying to find your
your identity what can you do in the
fashion industry to kind of set yourself
apart things happen that’s just part of
life and it’s how you react or respond
to those things and how you eliminate
the mistakes and the mistakes that are
being made how you make good on those
how do you better yourself and try to
minimize those mistakes going forward
that that’s applicable to not only just
for just life in general
people think that it’s that there’s no
challenges again people want it
yesterday
and that’s the beauty of becoming
successful is looking back on it knowing
what you’ve gone through and
appreciating the success sometime is not
going to be easy don’t worry about
things that you cannot control but the
things that you can’t control that’s
what you happen manifest because when
the opportunity is given to you and you
don’t step up to the plate and you’re
not prepared who’s going to be
disappointed I’m not perfect what I do
really well is I manage my imperfection
well and so we’re all waiting for
perfect it’s an illusion that will never
come to you and it’s an excuse to never
show up and play
what’s our command for tomorrow what do
you want to create it’s not keeping
score your brain is keeping score
because your brain is designed to keep
you safe your soul your intuition your
human spirit is designed to make you
soar when you get to the edge your brain
will always tell you to step back it’s
always going to tell you to step back
and I’m just here to tell you jump
because only three things can happen
you’re having on jumping flying are you
going to jump and fall on something
solved are you gonna fall down hard by
the way you don’t get that guy you
already know you got what it takes to
get back up you’re not your greatest
fears not that you will fall your great
experience at you will live a full life
and never fly
help me leap help me leave help me get
the courage to leave I don’t want to
live a life just baby
the truth effected and liberated and
it’s so boring you got to make a
decision story that everybody else wants
them to tell right so the marketing
message is so young girls right now I’m
fat I’m ugly my hair’s not long enough
what you have to do is tell the story
you want I didn’t want to be the kid
that didn’t have a dad didn’t have a mom
that was abused it was you know living
in poverty that’s not the story I wanted
I wanted to be the powerful person it’s
hard hard as hell there’s no easy answer
to this
if you quit is never going to happen if
you quit if you give up if you stop if
you do not persevere listen to me you
will never see it and I tell people all
the time I didn’t get here to academic I
got here because I refused to quit when
you’re a victim you’re in zero control
what am i doing like why do I keep
trying to do this mentors will help you
do that they are the shortcut that you
want you don’t want to do it the hard
way find a mentor no matter if you’re
just starting out or if you’re already
experienced there’s always someone to
learn from all of us are extraordinary
we just have to come to believe it so if
you’re getting nothing from one
direction why not turn around and go to
the other direction just looking in the
mirror and telling yourself the story
that you want I want these happy moments
I want to have this life focusing on
that that different conversation telling
a different story and the story you want
a little bit of progress then that
motivated me for the next get focused
and clear what’s compelling where are
you really and don’t lie where do you
want to be and make it so compelling you
can’t help but when you wake up in the
morning you want to transform this area
life a lot of people ain’t honest with a
self about what they really want
you want to make more money than you’ve
ever made you want to travel the world I
don’t know I don’t know you want to
build your second home I’m not sure what
you want but I need you to understand
that you got to give something you can
stay where you are and go where you
trying to go do not let any job that you
do kill your dreams because the only
thing that could make you feel alive is
your dream honestly believe that if
people are not calling you crazy your
dream isn’t big enough no matter how
many people told me no no matter how
many people lied to me focus on one
thing make it your priority and stick
with it no matter what whatever your
dream is whatever your goal is you’re
not going to be able to make it happen
if you don’t have a dream party every
day like you’ve got to have a dream
session you got to take out 10 minutes
15 minutes 20 minutes however much time
you have and you’ve got to actually go
in a room close the door and you’ve got
to see yourself doing it you’ve got to
feel yourself doing it you’ve got to
actually walk in it you’ve got to go in
the future live it out come back in the
present and start working forward I’ve
hesitated we have an idea you’re sitting
in a meeting you have this incredible
idea and instead of just you know saying
it you stop and you hesitate none of us
wake up and say today is the day I
destroy my life what we do is we kind of
check out because it feels overwhelmed
or we check out because we’re afraid or
we check out because we started
listening to self-doubt and then we make
these teeny tiny decision
decision to not get up on decision to
not eat the right thing decision to snap
at your kids the decision to not speak
in immediate decisions not look for a
job a decision to not deal with your
finances a decision to not call your pet
work whatever it is all day long these
tiny decisions will take you so far off
track and then you wake up like I did
and you look at your life and you think
how the hell did I get here the problem
is you’re in your head thinking that is
the universal problem and it all starts
with this knowledge of what to do and
then we hesitate to think about whether
or not you feel like this you know what
to do but you can’t seem to make
something get up on time and get
yourself out into the woods and he’ll
throw rocks start running again your
life comes down to your decision if you
change your decision you will change
everything clear on what you want like
here’s you get out whenever you feel
like it you don’t have no Drive you
don’t have no passion you want to spend
more time with your family you want a
better job you want a promotion you got
this dream that you want to pursue you
want to write a book you if you want to
do a CD like I don’t know what you want
you want to be an artist you want to be
an engineer I don’t know but I want you
to start the gear off what are you
willing to sacrifice you’re giving you
want what are you willing to give up you
can stay where you are and go where you
trying to go and that’s the problem
many of you love your comfort zone you
must love it you want security to us and
I’m telling you can stay where you are
you and what you can’t aim where you are
and try to go in go in
so what sacrifices this year you do an
amazing
I will not give up I will not surrender
I will not quit you got to create your
own look often we spend our lives
wishing and hoping and hoping and
wishing and desiring things this is what
I know for sure you don’t get what you
wish for you don’t even get what you
hope for you get what you believe I need
you to know that in order for you to get
to that next level you’ve got to change
your thinking like grill you don’t need
no money you don’t need you don’t need
no stuff the one thing you need to do to
go where you’ve never gone before to
have which he’s never had before is it
change the way you think what is the
dream for you what is God’s dream what
does the creator’s dream hold for you I
am responsible for the choices that I
make in my life this could be the
greatest time you ever live if you
control what you focus on if you find a
more empowering meaning that if you
decide to model the actions of those who
succeeded before you
I ask that you consider not doing
anything that you don’t truly intend
because the power of your story lies in
your personal intention you program your
mind need to be happy or not that’s a
choice that you make it’s about
something that somebody else makes for
you is not I’m not even your situation
no matter what the situation you truly
do make the choice to be happy in that
situation or not and we also have the
ability to change a situation that we’re
not happy with you make choices in your
life but there are so many things you’re
going to have to go through to get there
but truly if you focus and know where
you want to end up you’ll be there
sometimes to be successful unbeknownst
to the other and I think that that is
you got to have role models you have to
have people that you look up to that
that make you push yourself if it’s not
successful who’s going to give playing
you if it is successful who’s going to
get credit for you your whole life’s
imagining ghosts worrying about the
pathway to the future but all there will
ever be is what’s happening here in the
decisions we make in this moment which
are based in either love or fear
come at a time when you’re 5 6 7 8 9 10
years old but you want to be back then
what do you want to do for your role
model why did you want to be that if I
want to be free I’ve got to be me not
for me I think you think I should be
nothing me I think my wife thinks I
should be nothing me I think my kids
think I should be if I want to be free
I’ve got to be me that would you feel
yourself to be you are and you are given
that which you are so assume the feeling
that would be yours were you already in
possession of your wish and your wish
must be realized so live in the feeling
of being the one you want to be and that
you shall be what is holding you back
your brain is always trying to align
your outer world with what you are
seeing and expecting in your inner world
what you instruct your brain to look for
the things you want you will begin to
see them in fact the object of your
desire has probably always existed all
around you but your mind and your eyes
aren’t open to it you see we are
surrounded with billions of sensory
visual audio physical inputs of
information each day to keep ourselves
from going insane we ignore 99.9% of
them you only really see hear or
experience those you focus your mind on
what you look for if you don’t know what
to look for we certainly won’t get it
when you define your goals you give your
brain something to focus on and look for
you give your mind a new set of eyes so
all the threads and see all the people
there
with conversations resources ideas
creativity and otherwise so it can go
about matching up on the outside with
what you want on the inside your goal
how you see experience and draw ideas
people and experiences into your life
afternoon that clearly defined your goal
is profound having goals gives you
vision
Michelangelo famously said I already saw
David inside I only had to release him
by chipping away at the marble that
trapped him in pre sketch goal gives you
that kind of vision
additionally goals may be directions
having a goal sticks on the horizon
gives you something to navigate for
while most people may be paying
attention to what they are doing or
where they are going day to day it is
only when you have goals set up on the
horizon that you can directly and
expeditiously advance your life in that
direction your goals are nothing but a
wish list you cannot simply write down a
list of one on New Year’s Day stick in
the door for the recipe here and wait
around for your life to change your
goals are as clear as mud your goals
have to be crystal clear you have to
give clear instructions to your brain in
order for it to see and draw into your
sights what you need to accomplish your
goal starting is not most people’s
problem staying continuing and finishing
is you can look yourself in the mirror
and say goodbye to your old self life
will never be the same again starting
right now
you
in doing things to achieve purposes of
outer value that we forget the inner
value the rapture that is associated
with being alive is what it’s all about
that my friends is the name of the game
you’ve got to figure out what it is that
actually makes you feel alive and if you
understand that the game that you’re
playing is actually a game of brain
chemistry and that nothing else matters
there’s no objective truth there’s no
one path to glory there’s no one life
for you to live there’s only the
subjective truth the thing inside you
that gut instinct that voice that
whispers to you you’ve got to learn to
trust that you’ve got to learn to trust
it by building it up you’ve got to learn
to trust by taking actions and gut
checking yourself and asking is that me
is that who I want to be or is that
somebody else cultural voice my parents
my love or whatever trying to speak
through me and it’s Harley Davidson said
when writing the story of your life
don’t let anyone else hold the pen so
right now ask yourself please writing
your story is that you are you really
listening to the voice in your head are
you looking at and living by the things
that give you the chill or are you
trying to live a life that somebody else
wants for you and remember when you
think about that question what William
James said activists what you do matters
because it does even if for nobody else
every step you take every thought that
you allow to come yet your mind
everything you obsess about your dream
the things that we want the hope that
you spend your time with they matter to
you because they tell you who you are
they tell you who you’re trying to
become and ultimately those things that
you let monopolize your mind will be
coming you so if somebody else is
holding the pen if somebody else is
fourth you need to write something that
doesn’t make you feel alive that is a
Lifeloc and that is how you die my
friends before you ever had a chance to
live
[Music]
unfortunately one of the most common
reasons why some people will never find
the courage to pursue their dream is
because they succeed in convincing
themselves that they have too much to
lose and trying now that could be a job
or it might be a car or a house or a
lifestyle it could be a relationship it
or it might just be comfort and security
in general you know we all have such a
limited finite amount of time on earth
life is so incredibly short and with
every passing day yours gets shorter so
this idea of feeling like you have
something to lose is really just a self
imprisoning delusion that would prevent
you from ever doing anything
extraordinary that involves risk at all
an idea that might just condemn you to a
life of mediocrity and an idea that will
send you to your grave with all of your
good ideas and all of your potential
unfulfilled that terrifies me and if I’m
talking to you right now and this is you
I think it’s important to ask yourself
what it is that alternate lis matters
more
ask yourself what I rather stick with
the life I’ve settled for right now when
it’s relative comfort even though it’s
making me unhappy or am i deserving of
desiring and destined for more now this
decision should become a bit of a
no-brainer when you heed the words of
the late great Steve Jobs you said
remembering that I’m going to die
someday is the best way to avoid the
trap of thinking that I have something
to lose none of this stuff is coming
with you you are already naked there is
nothing to lose and following your heart
only to gain the only things you do have
to lose if time spent living a life that
isn’t true to you
when you’re alone with your thoughts you
get an idea of what your thoughts
actually are if you live your life just
acting constantly on the momentum of
other people’s expectations of you
wanting to be liked by these other
people you can run into a trap and you
you you set up a life that you didn’t
really want you’re you’re you’re
you’re trapped in this situation where
you have a mortgage
you’ve got credit card bills you’ve got
student loans you have to pay you have a
bunch of going on you have to
continue to feed and all that and
especially if you have a family and you
have to feed them oh my goodness
then you’re fully locked in you can’t
take any chances whatsoever and
oftentimes people make the mistake of
getting stuck and it is just a tactical
mistake just like it would be a mistake
if you got stuck on a video game
just like it would be a mistake if you
followed a map incorrectly and you get
stuck in the woods your life is
certainly some sort of a journey it’s
certainly some sort of a journey and we
have to all be aware that when we’re
making journeys we’re not going to
always make the right steps and
sometimes you have to back up and try
again and if you’re in a position where
you can’t back up and try again you’ve
trapped yourself and the system will set
out honey pots for people to get trapped
in the system will set out the ideas of
retirement the ideas of the golden years
providing you benefits providing you a
healthy work environment why well
because they want people to work for
them you don’t want people to realize
their own dreams and escape and yeah so
you got to hire more people and train
them and they want to set it up so that
you stick around stick around some sort
of an unsatisfying world it’s up to you
see that video game problem
see that issue as it comes up on the map
known I think this is a right turn to
see all the problems that could
potentially lay in front of you and
calculate your your future and then also
look around all the people that didn’t
do it and look at the misery that
they’re in and learn you don’t want to
be like that and then look at the people
that are kind of tipping chances
navigated their way what do they do
differently what would objectivity do
they have that maybe you lack what
insight into their own mistakes are they
willing to delve into that you’re not
that you step back because no I don’t
stone I just don’t want to look at
myself that closely but the person who’s
able to look at themselves the closest
is going to get the more rational
results well put you know because you’re
your own architect I never knew how to
turn things around
you show me your crowd I’ll show you
your future it’s simple right
there’s three type of people you need in
your life you need to inspire the
excited and the grateful every one of
them you will need for the rest of your
life but you’re your biggest your
biggest distraction is tell me what your
foundation is where did where do you go
when you need these you don’t know what
to do you know what to do but the people
you’re around they doing what you’re
supposed to be doing I’m begging you man
go begging from the man’s money
let go let go let go of these people who
you know aren’t for you
you know better but you’re not doing
better make a choice like you just
decide what is it about you about what
it is that you provide that will make
you stand out from the competition think
about yourself
think about your goals think about your
dreams being in a great house does not
make you great it’s one thing to have
great parents but that doesn’t make you
great
it’s one thing to work for a great
company corporation that’s great but
that doesn’t mean you’re great because
you’re in that great house or that great
corporation or that great church or that
great family that you remember of you’re
either adding to the greatness of that
family or you’re diminishing it and they
said it’s possible to be in a great
house but you not be great you not be
gold you not even be silver you not be
brass you just be dirt or clay
a lot of people think that wealth makes
you great but it’s a lot of wealthy
people who are not great people
on the other hand poverty is equated
into greatness in a lot of people that
that if they have nothing they must be
great you’re not greatness you’re
greatness is not based upon your income
there are some people who are good at
doing but they’re not good at being
greatness will cost you something not
somebody else
it’ll cost you something it’s going to
cost you some time it’s going to cost
you some energy it’s going to cost you
some resources it’s going to cost you
some hours of your life
laying down paying the price going the
extra mile doing what other people are
not willing to do greatness is not cheap
greatness always costs more that’s why
there’s not many people who achieve
greatness they’re not willing to pay the
price greatness is not immediate
in other words greatness takes time to
develop you can’t just run in your room
and come out great
greatness is not immediate you got to
stay with it you’ve got to stay at it
you got to keep working only we give up
too quickly greatness is not common
[Music]
greatness does not have to have the
approval of everyone and if you are the
kind of person that will have to have
the approval of everyone and
understanding of everyone you’ll never
achieve greatness greatness is uncommon
you cannot have the approval of everyone
and be great and the sooner you
understand that the sooner you do great
in life you’re always going to live your
life at the lowest common denominator of
your friends if you don’t like it you
can’t believe one way and live another
way and be great
greatness is living what you believe and
living up to your potential
[Music]
usually you will not discover greatness
in a person until they go through
hardship
it’s the hardship the crisis that brings
greatness out of people
there’s something inside an internal
reservoir that won’t lie down and stay
down and whine and call their most three
defeated friends and have a pity party
but there’s something about a person
that when does when the waters get
troubled and all hell’s breaking loose
greatness will step up to the crisis
sometimes that respects you that in 15
years or you can listen to that advice
and it can catapult you to a place of
grace but you must be teachable to be
great you never come to a place that you
cease from learning great people never
stop learning people who are very
skilled at what they do they still want
to learn how do I get better how do I
get better one of the qualities of
greatness is it’s always wanting to get
better wanting to learn more wanting of
people who are not good are not open to
instruction
to be great you have to be able to
receive correction you have to be able
to be told you’re not doing this right
and you have to be able to be told that
with a good attitude keep a good
attitude the truth is very concise the
words are very few but people don’t want
to hear the truth or the truth hurts but
you grow from pain you really you really
do you can’t know how to deal with
success you cannot deal with failures
you can’t know how to deal with the
bumps in the road that if you haven’t
had a taste of everything we all have
next level ability there’s not other
people that aren’t holding it vacuum
bosses and holding you back your parents
are holding you back those are excuses
to me there’s no such thing as luck okay
all luck is preparation meeting
opportunity planning someone you have to
be ready prepared for that situation if
you’re an employee of this company and
the boss puts you into a pressure
situation that’s a privilege he believes
in you you better deliver so if you
don’t that situation goes to somebody
else and you may never get that
opportunity again everything matters
if you take any situation and just take
the word only and take the word just out
of it it changes the whole phrase it’s
just a game it’s a game it’s only a job
[Music]
the body has limitations the mind does
not we focus so much on what goes on
from the neck down that we forget it all
starts from here everything starching if
you’re not mentally ready you’re never
really physically prepared and that’s
where the preparation starts I firmly
believe that everybody in this room
everybody on this planet has a gift it’s
your job to figure out what that gift is
then it becomes your job to decide
whether you’re going to act on that or
not everyone sees
the work that you put in but it’s what
you don’t see is going to determine how
far you’ll again hear stuff all the time
because at home look in the mirror and
you’ll see why you’re not succeeding I
don’t believe that okay it’s what you
don’t see in the mirror that’s what’s
holding you back it’s what you’re not
willing to see is why palette is not
enough and when you when you finally see
it and accept it and decide to work on
it then you can take that next how do
you get to that next level how do I get
my business to the next place how do I
get other people to the next place look
if you want to get rich you want to be
really successful when I say rich I’m
not talking about money I’m talking
about a rich life freedom time with
family choices get to do what you want
look if you want to be in business for
yourself and free you must learn to
dominate you cannot compete do what are
you doing man what are you doing you
know what most people are going to spend
more time in their life working than any
other single thing and not being
successful you got to be totally
committed everybody agree you got to be
completely uncertain you want a million
dollars you want two million dollars you
want five million dollars how much money
do you want how much success do you want
how much notoriety do you want you want
a New York Times bestseller why can’t
you have everything open I’m 65 so what
man Colonel Colonel Harland Sanders made
all his money after you was 65 years old
he wasted the first 64 years if you’re
not sure of your own value your own
goals and what you want the world will
never reward you of what you want your
value and your goals do you need to
pressure yourself you need to cook
yourself you need a necessity level way
up here when I wake up in the morning I
write my goals down when I go to bed at
night I write my bills down it’s the
first thing and the last thing I do
every day I’ve been doing that for 25
years here are four steps you must take
to create the next level of success in
your life number one you must get
attention
you got to get attention if you got to
scream to get it get it
what do these people have in common okay
there’s Michael Jordan Warren Buffett
Steve Jobs Oprah a Navy SEAL and my
mother you know what they had in common
this greatness has in common immersion
they’re immersed they’re immersed
completely in their environment number
two they’re dedicated completely
dedicated three they have a total total
commitment immerse yourself okay you
have to immerse yourself right now with
reading the right reading audio programs
video find YouTube channels that are
good for you immerse yourself with books
audio video daily okay you hit all three
of those where I’m reading something
listening to something and watching
something these are completely different
ways to learn anybody can do this folks
anybody can do this this is not about a
college degree this is about massive
amounts of action to get attention for
yourself your brand your company your
products your ideas your dreams this
could be the greatest time you ever live
if you control what you focus on if you
find a more empowering meaning and if
you decide to model the actions of those
who succeeded before you it can be the
best financial time the best emotional
time that a spiritual time of your life
but you better take control of your
state and if you think you’re going to
do it just by today you’re wrong you’re
going to need to get yourself some
rituals I know I know what is rituals
are because your life comes from your
rituals and you don’t develop the ritual
you’re kidding yourself if you do the
right thing at the wrong time you get
paid so now it’s time to train yourself
to do that and what about that are you
grateful for will you focus on that
makes you feel great
how’s it feel when you’re really truly
feeling filled with gratitude if you
wanted to be excited about your life
right now and you’re willing to be
exciting we’ll look everybody else’s
trend what could you feel excited about
in your life if you wanted to feel
excited what could you get excited about
if you really focused on it and you
really took it in you were in a negative
place what could you get excited about
if you wanted to be excited your life or
when you’re really excited how you feel
how do you speak what’s your life like
why because focus is controlled by
questions if you ask a different
question continuously that once
continuously you will get a different
answer if you ask a lousy question you
get allow the answer and allow the state
why does this always happen to me it
doesn’t always happen to you but the
brains like a computer ask you to
question it we’ll have to come up with
an answer just stop and think about
what’s most important think about why
you’re here what’s the purpose your life
step out of the moment
and into eternity life is really really
short and I think that we don’t value
and appreciate you know our freedoms and
our opportunities in our life the
universe is yours all right and you need
to understand that success does not
require you to look out the window it
only requires that you look in the
mirror to be successful you don’t have
to look out the window and Oh where’s my
health where are the people that I need
all you guys do is stop look directly in
the mirror and the one person you need
to blow off the one person you need to
be successful is looking right back at
you and if you’re willing to make a
commitment to that person in the mirror
if you’re willing to look at that person
in the mirror saying I’ll make a
commitment to you from this day forward
that whatever it takes I’ll do whatever
it takes whatever it is you want to
accomplish or whatever it is you want to
do you literally have to see it first if
you’re not trying to get out of your
shitty situation and every day you’re
choosing to stay in it and you can’t
complain about being given the choice
you keep making you know I one of my
favorite quotes is change happens when
the pain is saying the same becomes
greater than the pain of making a change
you have to be crazy and believing what
your goal is you’re bold enough you’re
big enough to dream if you are
intentional and deliberate about it now
there’s some aspects of it that are
going to be organic but if you are
intentional and deliberate if you build
it on Monday if you build it on Tuesday
if you build it on Wednesday I want you
to understand that it’s not going to
happen by luck productivity is always
intentional and deliberate and on
Tuesday when Monday Tuesday Wednesday
Thursday Friday that nope no no luck
guys every single day if you do a little
you’re going to wake up one day and your
dreams are gonna be a reality you can’t
just say you want it you can’t watch the
video and say I wanted as bad as I want
to breathe it’s cute to say it but when
it’s Showtime when the Sun comes up when
the Sun comes up is that all the book
you’ve got all the tapes you’ve got all
the access now it’s time to hunt and
what separates you from everybody else
is that when it’s time to hunt your
radar huh everybody’s got Lions on they
profile
everybody talks positive about
themselves everybody talks like you will
be you dressed like you will be you’ve
got the cards like a beach but then when
it’s time to do with these do you back
up you got to get up and make it happen
I can I will I love every day in Africa
in the Safari a lion wakes up every
single day and in Safari a lion wakes up
all right and every single day in the
Safari of gazelle wakes up I love it I
love it
it says though here it is here’s what’s
funny it says that if you wake up and
you’re a gazelle you realize if you’re
going to survive
I as a gazelle if you’re going to
survive you must outrun the slowest
gazelle hi and your mind you’re thinking
you got to outrun the fast line that’s
not the truth you just got to stay ahead
of this low gazelle that’s it every
single day when you wake up whatever it
is that you do professionally you better
make sure you’re not in the back of the
pack you better be as close to the front
if not up front as possible because
every single day when the lion wakes up
it’s only one thing on that lion mind
and that is catching the gazelle that
couldn’t keep up now this is critical
this is not just the story this is
critical because what the gazelle
realizes is that the way it operates
that’s the way it performs that’s the
way it goes about its daily business is
contingent upon life and death that if
that gazelle does not do what he or he
is supposed to do it will be in my life
the story says that even if you are
lying even if you are a lion and you
have the advantage that when the Sun
comes up if you are good or or life you
better get to run it because if you are
a lion of avail it’s still not going to
come to you and say just beep when you
wake up nothing is going to come to you
I’m relying and when the Sun comes up I
still have to get to run it here’s the
challenge though I asked myself when I
read that story that was on the surface
I read it and I started asking myself
Ikki
what’s the difference between a gazelle
and what’s the difference between the
lion what to do I know that they’re
wired differently but what’s the
difference and what I discovered is that
the devale is running from something ask
myself the question about a lion and I
said the liar is not running to be
reported the lion is one of the eat
every single day the lion is running to
eat you’ve got to ask yourself what’s
your why what motivates you what pushes
you what tribe you you can have it you
can be you can do it many of you as I
have been as I am are where you are in
your life based upon what you believe
and it’s not just what you think you
believe on the surface it’s also your
shadow beliefs that are holding you back
from moving into the life that you
believe you deserve if you’re not
looking at the shadows if you’re not
looking at what is subconsciously
running through the tape in your mind
telling yourself you’re not good enough
you’re not worthy enough you’re not
smart enough you are not enough which is
a tape that’s playing for a lot of
people you don’t become what you want
because so much of wanting is about
living in the space of what you don’t
have
so if you start to think about that
really why are you where you are in your
life the choices that you have made have
been because of what you believe to be
true for yourself if you would like to
accomplish something you must first
expect it of yourself and my question to
you is what do you expect of yourself
if money was no object if you could wake
up and do what you wanted to do what
would you do today if it didn’t matter
what majors made the most money if you
didn’t have to worry about the pile of
bills sitting on your dorm room desk if
you didn’t have to worry about the
opinions of your friends your parents
what would you be doing today
you see if you don’t have a passion for
what you do what’s the purpose of waking
up if you wait on your alarm clock to
wake you up every day what’s the purpose
would you get up
every day you should have a purpose and
you should feel it with your passion a
lot of you are probably based in some of
the decisions where do you go from here
graduate college what’s the next step
right
sure you have certain opportunities most
of most opportunity that a lot of people
don’t have what direction do you go in
the choices you make today tomorrow they
might affect you for the next year five
years ten years or for the rest of your
life there’s one exception to this rule
you have to love what you do you have to
have a passion for anything that is a
nine or above because the time is
required to make that effectively and
efficiently to make the amount of
revenue that’s going to keep me content
maybe the next 10 15 20 30 years of your
life so if you’re not willing to give 30
years for to become a doctor and don’t
do it if you don’t have a passion for it
you’re going to wake up one day and find
out that you’re just working a job 80%
of your daily conversations are filled
with gossip if it’s not about the bigger
picture if it’s not about your goals and
it’s not about positivity or benefiting
people don’t have the conversation
you know at first people thought I was a
little even it started tell me negative
things about this producer she’ll really
stop just stop I don’t want to hear it I
know I don’t want to hear what you have
to say it’s negative about this I don’t
care if you believe in yourself and you
believe in your vision
leaving your plan and guess what I have
always had the deep understanding for
myself that if anything was going to
move forward in my life that I was going
to have to be responsible for making
that happen and I know that to be true
now and can articulate it as you are
responsible for your life and if you’re
sitting around waiting on somebody to
save you to fix you to even help you you
are wasting your time because only you
have the power to take responsibility to
move your life forward and the sooner
you get that the sooner your life gets
into gear does not matter where you come
from doesn’t matter what your mama did
whether she did or had a PhD or no D
what matters is now this moment and your
willingness to see this moment for what
it is accept it forgive the past take
responsibility and move forward my life
is over unless I decide right now to
give up this story to get up this
mindset and just decide that I’m going
to make my life the richest thing it
could be it’s in a moment it’s a flash
of a second
the pain hits and now this is the moment
of reinvention you need to get make a
decision do you make the decision how
long you want to stay in the pain and
keep repeating the process over and over
again
Oh completely reinvent yourself you make
that choice invent yourself and then
reinvent yourself reinvigorate yourself
and accept what is but only on the terms
that you have invented and reinvented be
self taught and reinvent your life
because you must it is your life and
it’s history and the present belongs
only to you I teach people but daily you
have to prime yourself you have to do
something for 10 minutes minimum good if
you don’t have 10 minutes you have a
life i prime myself that’s what I’ve
done for years it’s like I change my
body this radical breathing pattern or
rule if it’s not ways to do it but then
I do 10 minutes and I do usually go more
because I’m joy yeah but 10 minutes is I
get myself to do three and a half
minutes of pure gratitude about three
things and I pick one of those three to
be simple coz I want to be the astronaut
that you know you went to the moon that
was his idea Adventure and then they all
come back with the press is what do I do
for the rest of my life so the wind in
my face you know my children’s faces
anything and the reason for gratitude is
the two motions that messes up the most
are fear and anger
and you can’t be grateful and fearful
simultaneously don’t go together and you
can’t be angry and grateful
simultaneously so if you literally start
your day cultivating that this apart is
talking about creating a highway to
happiness yeah and then I knew three
minutes of my plea to thrive what are
three outcomes the results I’m really
committed to and I see them as done and
fulfilled I think that day I usually get
something at six months to 12 months I
something a little bigger and then what
I feel is fulfilled and done Megan
thanks for it and you’re at the end of
those ten minutes and usually it’s 15
and 18 to me I am so wired now I’ve done
that for years it’s been the basic thing
what’s different with suffering is
measuring it moment to moment and then
the third one for me is okay how do I
love more love to me as an action it’s
not a word about emotions like if you
love you act accordingly so love and
what can I do in a living way and that
one could I be grateful for it and that
little three-step process endless effort
you want to excel at something what must
you have you know what passion is
passion is an emotion it’s an emotion
without an action passion will get you
nowhere inner drive will get you nowhere
unless you act on it you have to act on
your passion you have to act on your
inner drive don’t let those feelings
stay inside of you you’ve got to know
what to do with them you got to know how
to make them work in order to get what
you want don’t keep it inside good great
unstoppable every team every work
atmosphere no matter what you do must
consist of those three personalities if
you have those three personalities and
you can identify the individuals that
have those three personalities you’re
guaranteed success in whatever you do
remember the mind controls a body the
body does not control the mind this is
about being able to think like a
champion know what goes on in their
heads understand how you can relate it
to your business and whatever you do to
take yourself to the next level so funny
we want people to make guarantee to us
but we’re not willing to make guarantees
to ourselves
you’ve never you’re not brave enough you
want to put it on somebody else the
reason why I’m not successful it’s
because of my boss have you ever looked
at yourself in the mirror and said I’m
not getting up on time I’m not going to
work on time
I’m not putting in a hundred as one’s
percent when I’m at work you’ve never
look at yourself in the mirror and said
you let you die until you get to that
point you let you die you always want to
blame other people you always want oh
you want to hold other people to the
fire but you’re not holding yourself to
the fire you just say you give it 50%
you owe you an explanation
you owe you an explanation you need to
look at yourself in the mirror and say
why are you only giving 50% what’s wrong
with you
you need to put yourself on punishment
and I stopped being a victim not saying
I’ve gotta wait for good things to
happen to me and I said I’m gonna cry
I’m going to fight I’m going to work I’m
going to press forward I’m going to
learn I’m going to do everything in my
power every single day I’m going to do
everything in my power to become a
Victor another victim winners win and
losers losers
I can’t explain it any better than that
I don’t know how would happen but
winners win and if you create a culture
of losing if you keep being a victim if
you keep letting losing happen to you if
you keep letting people do you
increasing each other way it’s gonna
become a culture
I have standard value why most people
never achieve their goals while two or
three percent really achieve a high
level of success and another percentage
reaches a decent level success but most
people pretty much live in average life
people who took this one action every
single day
we’re the ones who achieve their goals
and dreams more often than anybody else
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 achieves the goals and
dreams that they said you could have an
obstacle around what you believed you
could have an obstacle of other people
you could have an obstacle that you
don’t have the knowledge or the skill
but if you have a goal and you write
down the obstacles and then you use the
powerful amazing brain that you’ve got
to visualize yourself meeting the
obstacle and figuring out a way to
overcome the obstacle your brain starts
to work in your advantage and starts to
believe that you can actually achieve
the goal and overcome the obstacles
take a few moments and just write down
one goal then write down three or four
or five obstacles that could come in
your way then you write down all right
the outcomes that you want and you
visualize yourself overcoming the
obstacles by closing your eyes and just
seeing that obstacle in front of you and
then you jumping over you reaching over
you figuring out the problem you getting
help to achieve that goal and when you
do that you’re going to give your brain
all of the power that it needs in order
to help you figure out how to overcome
the obstacles and in order to become an
amazing goal achiever you have to accept
the fact that there will be obstacles
but you also have to prime your brain to
recognize the obstacles and to teach it
that you can overcome it and you can do
that in your mind first and you back it
up with a plan and guess what you will
start to become a goal achiever instead
of just somebody who sets a goal let go
all the stuff that’s not working and
really make a big difference in your
life in your family’s life and in the
lives of people in your community
[Music]
we talked about making your – dance
point 1 you got to be willing to do it
afraid see you might be waiting for the
fear to stop so many times we’re waiting
we’re waiting I’m waiting I’m waiting to
get something rise I see your hands
going up you got no official truth you
can raise your hand just like we did on
day zero you’re just kind of waiting
you’re waiting to get everything in
order you’re waiting you’re waiting so
that everything is is in Lluis together
you’re waiting to not be afraid you’re
waiting to have the courage you’re
waiting to have all the money you’re
waiting to lose weight I’m afraid what
do I do
do it anyway I’m afraid I don’t quite
know if I should move move anyway I
don’t know if I should leap leap afraid
and then gather your courage on the way
down and if you don’t get it before you
hit you go ahead anyway I’d rather die
leaping then on the edge figuring out
how to get the courage to meet how does
that look because you’re 80% of right at
somebody else’s hundred and fifty nine
percent of what they need what you want
to do it right and you want to wake you
not afraid and you want to wake you have
all together oh you made it about you
again see Nelson Mandela did it he just
did it not knowing if you were right
Mahatma Gandhi just did it not knowing
if it were right mother Teresa just did
it not looking for affirmation or
confirmation is this right Martin Luther
King did it not even knowing if it would
have happened before his life ended
what are you waiting on are you willing
to do it afraid are you willing to do it
knowing that you got so much work to do
to get it better to get it more perfect
but are you willing to do it inside your
imperfection do you realize that in your
imperfection you’re perfect for the job
so the secret to real happiness is
progress progress equals happiness if we
can make progress on a regular basis we
feel alive and that’s why at the
beginning of the year we get this thing
like okay I can have this fresh start
I could really deal with my soul desires
I could expand I could grow I can
improve I could change or maybe better
than change I could progress see think
about that progress is an aliveness to a
doesn’t change change is automatic but
progress is not so if you want to make
real progress then you really got to
look at your life in a different way you
got to say I got to take control of this
process and not just hope that’s going
to work out like people do to make a
resolution first step is you got to have
a vision a vision for what it is you
really truly want not what you think you
want or what you should have I mean what
are most people’s New Year’s resolutions
I’m going to stop eating sugar you know
I’m going to stop smoking I’m going to
lose 10 pounds probably that is it’s not
very inspiring from those people you
know it’s not telling you what you’re
going to get it’s only what you’re not
going to do it’s kind of hard to have
you move forward with that having
something so exciting so attractive so
something to desire so much that you
have a hard time going to sleep at night
you get so up early in the morning to
lock it and take it to the next level
I’m just saying wake yourself up when
the only thing that should scare us is
repeating the past we like and share and
pin and retweet positivity looks nice in
our newsfeed potential sounds good on
our profile but we’re full of it
gamblers without guts
fighters would fake this believers with
no balls I called myself out to go
all-in on my passion and that passion
was to take this mantra of mine called
be somebody you need to love yourself
what you really want to do if you want
to make a difference all you got to do
is one thing this value get started you
want some different listen to me all you
got to do is make a decision that’s it
but once you decide to let go and just
go then you’re falling and then and then
you’re ready for the past
let me tell you that sacrifice is just
the first step that’s the sacrifice
tones the struggle and after the
struggle hump suffering
[Music]
and then after you suffer then you sit
[Music]
the suffering is real and most people
stop at the suffering because the
suffering hurts and the suffering is
hard and it sucks to suffer choosing the
path of your passion is actually the
most difficult path you can take it to
most difficult decision you’ll ever make
it is not easy for any of them but it’s
the most need
[Music]
right and there’s beauty in that
suffering you are the fire you are your
passion if you dream it and if you
believe it and if you go all-in on it
then you will reach where deep inside
you know what kind of person you were
designed to be if you want to produce
great acorns think like an oak not like
an acorn think like the person you
intend to become like the Christian
question what would Jesus do ask
yourself how would the person I’d like
to be the Acorn has three parts it’s got
a stem a cap and a seed and the stem
represents its connection to the past
all the acorns all the Oaks that have
ever existed in its line before are
encoded in that transfer through that
stem but legacy into this acorn the cap
holds onto the seed until the seeds
ready to grow on its own so the cap
represents your coaches your mentors
your your role models your guide your
parents your friends your teachers what
kind of seed is in you I believe part of
our responsibility in life is to find
out who we are to discover ourselves
first off we need to respect our nature
we need to realize we are part of a
continuing chain that carries a legacy
and a responsibility there are many
things we can do with our lives and I
think it’s our job to find out what
those things are and to do them as well
as we possibly can so that we’re passing
along the right imprint for the next
generation
so first we need to respect our nature
second we need to know our nature take
care of saddles advise know thyself but
know things about yourself that most
people don’t discover for example know
how you’re smart not just how smart you
are in comparison to others in what ways
are you smart know what you care about
or what are the values that motivate
your choices if you will spend one extra
hour each day studying your chosen field
you’ll be a national expert in that
field and five years or less so nurture
your nature figure out first off I am
valuable except that I want to know who
I am and I want to know how I operate
and how can I understand me better and
then I want to nurture that nature I
want to apply myself in the world and
put myself to work in such ways that the
rest of the world says well that’s cool
so ask yourself every day how would the
person I’d like to
do the things everybody wants the good
life but not everybody gets a good life
let me tell you what it takes you’ve got
to get it before you leave this is what
it takes it takes energy and it takes
effort that’s all you need to do to be
successful here what I’m telling you you
need to put more energy into what you’re
doing than anybody else
it’s supposed to be hard the hard is
what makes it great
all right the hard work they do practice
fine day they’ll just die this time when
you run and you just want to stop us on
and give up that trick there were this
others want to go home the day we get up
and know what you have a training today
you know don’t be intense thing like ah
I don’t want to go today when you gotta
go so are there not people don’t know
look at the day like I’ve written in the
book that the day is 24 hours six hours
of you sleep so you’ve left 18 hours so
don’t ever give me this thing that oh my
god I’m working 12 hours and I don’t
have time to exercise and we work out I
don’t have time to study another
language and all this kind of it you
have you know 18 hours in to utilize the
18 hours as well and that’s really what
I always believed in and I feel like
that’s the only way you can get ahead if
you have the very clear vision where you
want to go and if you’re willing to put
the work in the middle what it takes to
get them to turn this vision into
reality make a choice like you just
decide what it’s going to be who you’re
going to be how you’re going to do it
just decide everybody has the desire to
do something
if you got to desire you got to match
match that desire with your dedication
and you got to mention what your
discipline discipline is doing something
that nobody else will ever do and you
have to dedicate yourself to that you
have to dedicate yourself to the craft
understanding that there may be some
good that come out of it and you have to
prepare yourself but you have to look at
a bigger picture you have to have belief
in yourself and you have to have faith
in yourself faith is not read as having
understand that everything will be okay
but faith is is understanding that if
things don’t go your way or if it
doesn’t turn out the way you want to
it’s still going to be okay
what you’re trying to do to become
better at that position and the fashion
industry is it’s not so clear-cut
it’s all about just trying to find your
your identity what can you do in the
fashion industry to kind of set yourself
apart things happen that’s just part of
life and it’s how you react or respond
to those things and how you eliminate
the mistakes and the mistakes that are
being made how you make good on those
how do you better yourself and try to
minimize those mistakes going forward
that that’s applicable to not only just
for just life in general
people think that it’s that there’s no
challenges again people want it
yesterday
and that’s the beauty of becoming
successful is looking back on it knowing
what you’ve gone through and
appreciating the success sometime is not
going to be easy don’t worry about
things that you cannot control but the
things that you can’t control that’s
what you happen manifest because when
the opportunity is given to you and you
don’t step up to the plate and you’re
not prepared who’s going to be
disappointed I’m not perfect what I do
really well is I manage my imperfection
well and so we’re all waiting for
perfect it’s an illusion that will never
come to you and it’s an excuse to never
show up and play
what’s our command for tomorrow what do
you want to create it’s not keeping
score your brain is keeping score
because your brain is designed to keep
you safe your soul your intuition your
human spirit is designed to make you
soar when you get to the edge your brain
will always tell you to step back it’s
always going to tell you to step back
and I’m just here to tell you jump
because only three things can happen
you’re having on jumping flying are you
going to jump and fall on something
solved are you gonna fall down hard by
the way you don’t get that guy you
already know you got what it takes to
get back up you’re not your greatest
fears not that you will fall your great
experience at you will live a full life
and never fly
help me leap help me leave help me get
the courage to leave I don’t want to
live a life just baby
the truth effected and liberated and
it’s so boring you got to make a
decision story that everybody else wants
them to tell right so the marketing
message is so young girls right now I’m
fat I’m ugly my hair’s not long enough
what you have to do is tell the story
you want I didn’t want to be the kid
that didn’t have a dad didn’t have a mom
that was abused it was you know living
in poverty that’s not the story I wanted
I wanted to be the powerful person it’s
hard hard as hell there’s no easy answer
to this
if you quit is never going to happen if
you quit if you give up if you stop if
you do not persevere listen to me you
will never see it and I tell people all
the time I didn’t get here to academic I
got here because I refused to quit when
you’re a victim you’re in zero control
what am i doing like why do I keep
trying to do this mentors will help you
do that they are the shortcut that you
want you don’t want to do it the hard
way find a mentor no matter if you’re
just starting out or if you’re already
experienced there’s always someone to
learn from all of us are extraordinary
we just have to come to believe it so if
you’re getting nothing from one
direction why not turn around and go to
the other direction just looking in the
mirror and telling yourself the story
that you want I want these happy moments
I want to have this life focusing on
that that different conversation telling
a different story and the story you want
a little bit of progress then that
motivated me for the next get focused
and clear what’s compelling where are
you really and don’t lie where do you
want to be and make it so compelling you
can’t help but when you wake up in the
morning you want to transform this area
life a lot of people ain’t honest with a
self about what they really want
you want to make more money than you’ve
ever made you want to travel the world I
don’t know I don’t know you want to
build your second home I’m not sure what
you want but I need you to understand
that you got to give something you can
stay where you are and go where you
trying to go do not let any job that you
do kill your dreams because the only
thing that could make you feel alive is
your dream honestly believe that if
people are not calling you crazy your
dream isn’t big enough no matter how
many people told me no no matter how
many people lied to me focus on one
thing make it your priority and stick
with it no matter what whatever your
dream is whatever your goal is you’re
not going to be able to make it happen
if you don’t have a dream party every
day like you’ve got to have a dream
session you got to take out 10 minutes
15 minutes 20 minutes however much time
you have and you’ve got to actually go
in a room close the door and you’ve got
to see yourself doing it you’ve got to
feel yourself doing it you’ve got to
actually walk in it you’ve got to go in
the future live it out come back in the
present and start working forward I’ve
hesitated we have an idea you’re sitting
in a meeting you have this incredible
idea and instead of just you know saying
it you stop and you hesitate none of us
wake up and say today is the day I
destroy my life what we do is we kind of
check out because it feels overwhelmed
or we check out because we’re afraid or
we check out because we started
listening to self-doubt and then we make
these teeny tiny decision
decision to not get up on decision to
not eat the right thing decision to snap
at your kids the decision to not speak
in immediate decisions not look for a
job a decision to not deal with your
finances a decision to not call your pet
work whatever it is all day long these
tiny decisions will take you so far off
track and then you wake up like I did
and you look at your life and you think
how the hell did I get here the problem
is you’re in your head thinking that is
the universal problem and it all starts
with this knowledge of what to do and
then we hesitate to think about whether
or not you feel like this you know what
to do but you can’t seem to make
something get up on time and get
yourself out into the woods and he’ll
throw rocks start running again your
life comes down to your decision if you
change your decision you will change
everything clear on what you want like
here’s you get out whenever you feel
like it you don’t have no Drive you
don’t have no passion you want to spend
more time with your family you want a
better job you want a promotion you got
this dream that you want to pursue you
want to write a book you if you want to
do a CD like I don’t know what you want
you want to be an artist you want to be
an engineer I don’t know but I want you
to start the gear off what are you
willing to sacrifice you’re giving you
want what are you willing to give up you
can stay where you are and go where you
trying to go and that’s the problem
many of you love your comfort zone you
must love it you want security to us and
I’m telling you can stay where you are
you and what you can’t aim where you are
and try to go in go in
so what sacrifices this year you do an
amazing
I will not give up I will not surrender
I will not quit you got to create your
own look often we spend our lives
wishing and hoping and hoping and
wishing and desiring things this is what
I know for sure you don’t get what you
wish for you don’t even get what you
hope for you get what you believe I need
you to know that in order for you to get
to that next level you’ve got to change
your thinking like grill you don’t need
no money you don’t need you don’t need
no stuff the one thing you need to do to
go where you’ve never gone before to
have which he’s never had before is it
change the way you think what is the
dream for you what is God’s dream what
does the creator’s dream hold for you I
am responsible for the choices that I
make in my life this could be the
greatest time you ever live if you
control what you focus on if you find a
more empowering meaning that if you
decide to model the actions of those who
succeeded before you
I ask that you consider not doing
anything that you don’t truly intend
because the power of your story lies in
your personal intention you program your
mind need to be happy or not that’s a
choice that you make it’s about
something that somebody else makes for
you is not I’m not even your situation
no matter what the situation you truly
do make the choice to be happy in that
situation or not and we also have the
ability to change a situation that we’re
not happy with you make choices in your
life but there are so many things you’re
going to have to go through to get there
but truly if you focus and know where
you want to end up you’ll be there
sometimes to be successful unbeknownst
to the other and I think that that is
you got to have role models you have to
have people that you look up to that
that make you push yourself if it’s not
successful who’s going to give playing
you if it is successful who’s going to
get credit for you your whole life’s
imagining ghosts worrying about the
pathway to the future but all there will
ever be is what’s happening here in the
decisions we make in this moment which
are based in either love or fear
come at a time when you’re 5 6 7 8 9 10
years old but you want to be back then
what do you want to do for your role
model why did you want to be that if I
want to be free I’ve got to be me not
for me I think you think I should be
nothing me I think my wife thinks I
should be nothing me I think my kids
think I should be if I want to be free
I’ve got to be me that would you feel
yourself to be you are and you are given
that which you are so assume the feeling
that would be yours were you already in
possession of your wish and your wish
must be realized so live in the feeling
of being the one you want to be and that
you shall be what is holding you back
your brain is always trying to align
your outer world with what you are
seeing and expecting in your inner world
what you instruct your brain to look for
the things you want you will begin to
see them in fact the object of your
desire has probably always existed all
around you but your mind and your eyes
aren’t open to it you see we are
surrounded with billions of sensory
visual audio physical inputs of
information each day to keep ourselves
from going insane we ignore 99.9% of
them you only really see hear or
experience those you focus your mind on
what you look for if you don’t know what
to look for we certainly won’t get it
when you define your goals you give your
brain something to focus on and look for
you give your mind a new set of eyes so
all the threads and see all the people
there
with conversations resources ideas
creativity and otherwise so it can go
about matching up on the outside with
what you want on the inside your goal
how you see experience and draw ideas
people and experiences into your life
afternoon that clearly defined your goal
is profound having goals gives you
vision
Michelangelo famously said I already saw
David inside I only had to release him
by chipping away at the marble that
trapped him in pre sketch goal gives you
that kind of vision
additionally goals may be directions
having a goal sticks on the horizon
gives you something to navigate for
while most people may be paying
attention to what they are doing or
where they are going day to day it is
only when you have goals set up on the
horizon that you can directly and
expeditiously advance your life in that
direction your goals are nothing but a
wish list you cannot simply write down a
list of one on New Year’s Day stick in
the door for the recipe here and wait
around for your life to change your
goals are as clear as mud your goals
have to be crystal clear you have to
give clear instructions to your brain in
order for it to see and draw into your
sights what you need to accomplish your
goal starting is not most people’s
problem staying continuing and finishing
is you can look yourself in the mirror
and say goodbye to your old self life
will never be the same again starting
right now
