we become what we think about focus on what you want rather than focusing on what you don't want so who do you want to be you know why why did why are you here on this planet you live according to the principles of love compassion you know appreciative joy you know celebrating other people's successes but how do you overcome hatred and confusion and just having a good heart then I think that's what happened to me then I start to get clear about what what I like to do and how I can be of service how can I help other people that we were wired for success but it's how we relate to our experience that determines whether we're chipping away or we're you know kind of burying that sense of wholeness that we that were born with it just that we forget it we don't look inside we're looking outside and so unless we're still and we think about it and we understand that I was born with this masterpieces no one can give it to me or take it away it's it's an inside job and so if I look at what's right it just it makes makes a lot of sense so it's whether you're coming from a place of scarcity or I would say survival mode or coming from growth mode which has to do with yes I can't yes to life and I I have the capacity and the responsibility to make it different but to make it make it better having that faith that vulnerability that just see things that are hard to see gotta get comfortable being uncomfortable so can you handle the truth it's a question and if you can't then you if you see that that you can say well is if I'm going to change I'm gonna have to figure out how to deal with that discomfort until the point that I can see what I need to see then I can change it so as the persistence of continuing to do something that you can do it is is most of the work this is just continuing to make mistakes learn from mistakes but the mistakes are viewed as feedback not as I'm a failure it's just an event now who we are so that error correction is really important and when you can see when you attributed this something you can learn or change now you've got faith and confidence to do it versus if you're seeing it like oh I'm just not strong enough I'm not tall enough and all of that that's just that's what I call the negative committee telling you you can't do anything rather than saying well let me see what can i what I can do so it's like a child learn how to walk right same thing your life can change your life can be more than just a place it can be your future your success this change this change takes courage it takes courage to stand up and break down the aspects of your life that you know is holding you back let your progress be idolized let it speak for itself [Music] average becomes sort of like this slow asphyxiation it's almost like an anesthetic and that overtime would become kind of immune and dulled to the average that we're becoming I know this is true at least for me you probably experienced it yourself too and so over time we sort of minimize where we're at in other words I'm a little pudgy instead of being know your fat ass right you know you don't magnify the degree to which the pain ought to be affecting you and so really what he means on that is listen you're gonna get out of your life what you'll accept that's really difficult for people I think to understand is look what you think you're worth and what you're gonna tolerate is absolutely what you're gonna bring into your life and what the outward part of your life is gonna look like and so I live by that like I let myself sort of feel the pain and the difficulty of being not where I want to be in whatever that areas were those would be my spirituality my relationships my money I let myself feel that pain because as you know there's two motivators right there's the gaining of pleasure right wanting to go get something chasing the dream but then there's the avoidance of pain and for a lot of champions that's a pretty big driving force for them and so at least for me I I leveraged both of those things on me to get myself to take action one of the reasons I'm relatively fit is not just peak State I have an uncle and my family that died at 50 years old of a heart attacks my godfather my dad's only brother I kind of resemble him and I look like a plan so on the way back from his funeral my reticular activating art attacks on the TV screen on the airplane I listen to music is the Oprah Winfrey Show she's going through a new heart scan I've unplugged my headphones plug into this airplane one I scheduled it I went in I had a world-class doctor who understood reasons and levers instead of just prescribing coolant only coach well you need to do this you need to do this like doctors do it take his pill take this he understood leverage and reasons what you do is to take the scan then you go to lunch you come back I took the scan I went those I had a burrito I came back and I'm in the LA when I walk in I sit down the doctor comes up and he says oh my I can't believe these arteries are in that young body got my attention we walk back in we sit down he could still go you need Crestor eat clean get out of here is know what an average doctor does right No wired me with huge reasons he goes let me ask you a question I heard your wife's pregnant you have I said I have a son and he says do you want to be there when he graduates from high school to be there for that day I said yes sir yeah he goes your wife's pregnant what do you have it I said a daughter this is where you get a dad he goes she was six months pregnant he goes do you um would you like to walk her down the aisle on her wedding day are you okay that it's some other man I went what the zahn this skin right like and he goes I want to be very clear with you if you keep going down the road you're going there'll be some other man with your son at graduation high school and a strangers walking your daughter down the aisle that's not even born yet on her wedding day and I went to him and he goes but if you do exactly what I tell you to do you'll be there and so to this day brother there are mornings when I wake up not every morning I don't want to go to the gym I go Bella's wedding Bella's wedding Bella's wedding so my standards are high because of my big old reasons other dudes may miss the gym that day cuz they're not gonna miss their daughter's wedding if they don't go but I've convinced myself I will get emotional I've convinced myself on this my daughter's wedding so I will get my ass out of bed at 4 o'clock in the morning and I will get to that gym because my reasons are bigger so my standards are higher so that's what I think causes us to have great standards as huge reasons when you're inspired by something or someone in your life you feel the magic now's the time to be the magic what are you going to do are you going to let the Masters inspire you to feel it or are you going to strive to be a master [Music] it's your choice the magic is waiting not only for you just a feeling but so be it nobody can take this away in your life you can't escape anything that goes along with life you know we are not immune to problems drama trauma the tragedy you know we all here as human beings so you know when you're going through some sort of difficulties you know first fighting or whatever that difficulty may be you know you know we do with within your power in terms of how to start slowly you know get yourself out of that situation and you believe you'd be optimistic about you know being negative about a situation stand in that place it never helps you know it's nothing wrong with understanding that place feeling bad about it looking at it for what it is but don't stay there you've got to get back on that other side and start looking at the resolved resolution of how can I get back to feeling good and feeling prosperous again to where I'm not dealing with this obstacle words are very powerful very powerful so the thing is about getting within yourself and understand who you are to kind of you know what off those negative comments that's coming towards my virtually always prepared you know you have to go for those things in order to see it in light of the light at the end of the tunnel you know I don't think anything is going to just be like this throughout your life and then you have to go through that difficult overcome obstacle because it's a testament of your character of who you are in high gear to deal with certain things you know to get yourself back on it playing field everything happened for a reason no regrets all the negative things that happened I'm thankful for it because I learned hopefully I learned from those situations and all the positive things I'm humbly grateful that those was able to take place and still striving to be the best I can be and you know going forward people didn't care at some kid to be the best they could be you know anything is possible positive thinking is also translating them you know so when you have something that's positive up there you can be you know the best you can be you know any negative out there and you could bring down the worst person misery loves company misery loves company so we are not debbie down as we more uplifters you know we always no matter what the situation with the situation is we're gonna try to look for the outcome the better of that situation you know if we can't find a resolution to get out of it you know we're gonna keep on searching the continue to try to find a resolution to get out of because that's what you do you know that's how you get to the bottom of that's how you get to the facts of Nass are you willing to breath are you willing to be the warrior bring your shield bring your sword stand up and fight today will be the day where you can take control take control of your power become this power because now is the time to fight you're a warrior warriors don't give up and they don't back down become the warrior transform your life transform yourself head out into battle step on to the battlefield use your weapons to fight through this pain fight through the rejection learn from the bruises the blood scars because this time you can rise to become the step on to the Plainfield because now is the time to change now is the time to rise with the crown on your head you know you want to be a little bit better in some way tomorrow than you are today but it's not gonna be in a linear path again these go through cycles of stress and recovery so it's just kind of being able to surf the flow of that and know again it really comes down to balance so it's the practices that you need to know what to do for sure and then you need to know how to apply those things in the right way so when you when to push and when to take the pressure off the gas as well and I think that's really understanding that so part of it is the knowledge and then part of it is the follow-through and then part of it is the discipline to know not only when you need to go but when you need to rest I think it's important to really trust that what you're doing is going to work what's a day that makes life awesome and and makes you again a little bit better tomorrow from having done it today you have to really do the work like you have to back it with hard work you know any of you ask Conor McGregor like what's the secret to his success hard work hard work hard work I don't know if he actually worked harder than anybody but he believes he does you know he has no doubts in his mind that he's actually working harder and and that's I think important so really making sure that you really do your best to get the goods you know and to in to practice that and go out there and put yourself out there and then on the other side what is the thing what is the antagonist of belief well the antagonist of belief is fear you know fear is a belief that something negative is going to happen rather than something positive is going to happen so it's like that's on the other side you're almost believing in your failure right rather than believing in your success so you have to go attack and collapse these different fears and part of that is going to be sucking out the the penalty if if you fail right because like a lot of the fear comes because we're afraid that we're gonna judge ourselves harshly or whatever so you got to realize like there is no such thing as failure there's just learning right so you collapse the penalty for failure so that collapses the fear which allows you to believe even more so that's one way to do it and the other way is to just look at fear itself and play out the different scenarios know that you're gonna be fine again forgive yourself always and and really also just attack fear wherever you see it even when it's trivial even when it's some kind of we were just before the before we got on here we talked about the fear of the number 13 true God trick a phobia like if you're afraid of 13 you know what you need to do you put 13s all of you in house you know you need to like sit in Thirteen's you need to go to the 13th demand to be on the 13th floor of every hotel in every airplane because you got to get over that shit because that is telling yourself that there's something irrational that should control you and if you believe there's something that's irrational that should control you that will apply universally so wherever you find fear specifically that's out of balance with actual danger like I'm not saying touch a hot stove or put your hand in a rattlesnake cage like there's danger there that's not fear but 13 no danger you know that's not real so go collapse that the fear of crickets like I have a fear of like whatever it is collapse fear wherever you see it and that specific collapse will help with the universal collapses you just got to understand the only thing that you're responsible for is your best but he can't do better than your best you just do your best and if you try to obsess too much you're not doing your best you're gonna be paralyzed right so you have to get as much information as you can make the most educated choice make sure that you're not choosing based on ego or emotion or you know greed or these other forces that delude you and prevent you from thinking clearly but if you do your best and you fail like what do you do beat yourself up for that like that doesn't make any sense if you're doing your best if you're really laying it out there there's nothing nothing more you can do and and that's I think that that's really the key is just to constantly rest and rely on that fact that I'm just I'm doing my best and there's nothing nothing more than that you know you have to really appreciate where you are in the journey and say yeah where you are is awesome but you could be better cuz that's the the process is becoming better right so it's not it's not judging it externally by any other criteria because every step is good but the process of striving for more in a process to really unfailing who you are to an even greater degree to getting cleaner and clearer and more full and more robust and the best version of yourself like that process is a beautiful process I think it's one of the reasons why we're here it feels the best it feels the best to be continuing on the path but that doesn't mean that you look forward to a point in the past say when I get there I'll love myself when I get there I'll I made it like love yourself where you are wherever you are that's awesome let's still strive for more because the striving is the journey it's always the striving if we were able to do like even a fraction of the things we know we should we would all be badasses you know but there's so many things you talk to me yeah I should be doing that yeah I should be doing I know I should be I should be meditating yeah I know I should be doing this I should be eating better I should be doing this and we all know what we want to do to be the best version of ourselves but for whatever reason we don't do it you know and there's a lot of reasons why but we're not doing it and so the ability to choose and actually decide what you're going to do to be the not well to be the art and say oh well if I believe I should meditate then I'll meditate and just collapsing that I know I should with actually doing it you know that is a superpower that's what defines the greatest performers from the people who haven't quite made it yet it's really their ability to say oh if I should train now I will know if I should eat like this I will oh if I should do this okay then I will it's collapsing that knowing what knowing what you should do and actually doing and making that one and that's ultimately a choice [Music] we have way more power than we recognize and what people will tell us that we have so stepping into that power and deciding for ourselves what we want to do with it what time is it right now look at it face it stand up to it what do you see what did that number say to you how much of this number have you wasted wasted on waiting waiting for what what is it that you're waiting for how much do you want ask yourself this what's more valuable waiting or your time your power and your action this is where your journey starts this is where you grow grow adapt improve to become the person you admire this is you this can be you stop failing to respond to react this is how you shape your life how you construct your future make this what it is your success all this work now are the steps before you break the ribbon at the finish this is your opportunity to change change towards a better life towards a life where you are the director where you are the power the power that drives you forward to success the power that defines your life now that defines your legacy your future this is the time to become something more than or do something outside the realm of expected because you're more than you always have been but in order for you to become this you need to work you need to want it so much it pushes you it pushes you outside your comfort zone this is where it starts this is where you become something something better than now where you build a life with yourself one where you hold the reins where you make the final cut where you have that power you deserve this you deserve to feel fulfilled proud and excited for this newfound success you will and can embody your future your legacy your life can transform into the paradise you've always imagined it could be your life can change your life can be more than just a place it can be your future your success this change this change takes courage it takes courage to stand up and break down the aspects of your life that you know is holding you back let your progress be idolized let it speak for itself let it leave a mark so deep it can never be erased this den can have such a positive influence on your life that it can transform your future transform your life using the potential you know you've always had make your life worth remembering make it worth the pain it took the hours it used the effort put in know to take pride in your work know that your life can break all possibilities break all boundaries and become something beyond any expectations human letdown you face rejection and you failed fortunately when you hit that point the only place to go is up I want you to imagine that your life is a tree the failure that you've just faced is actually a seed and it's a seed that's gonna grow your potential the light you need is your mindset and the water is your strength because the rejection you feel right now is sprouting your success and in order for you to grow you need to feel the pain the pain of the struggle is more than just some dark place you go to it's actually a starting place a place to begin trying and a place you start to improve and that improvement can be the start of the making of your success look at me you're not five feet under you're five feet higher than any position you've ever been it man stop bringing yourself down start learning that you are more than just your mistakes in fact they make you they make you grow and they make you branch out into a stronger and more courageous person give yourself the space to grow give yourself the space to grow into a better in a more successful person to see your potential is sprouting you've got a better foundation now because those roots are dug deep into the ground and if something breaks you down know that you can grow further past the point you were at before because this tree can only grow taller bigger and stronger because you are stronger now so you've got to know that this isn't a setback this is just another ingredient that you need for the success that's coming your way it really is stop making excuses take control of your situation and rise to your potential man I don't think that we would be here if we didn't have a purpose I can tell you that it's our job to develop that purposes I've dealt with find and hone in and craft that purpose and the purpose is usually crafted through some level of suffering it's the hero's journey right like in film you know the hero he's down and out and he loses the girl in the in the house and he goes on this journey and he finds strength and wisdom and knowledge and comes back and is now the hero we have to go through that level of suffering there's this hunger that everyone has and it's always neutered my family my teachers my culture and I believe you wouldn't be put on this planet if you didn't have this hunger and if you explore this hunger and for me it was done being a fat kid than being a being a foreigner and then a fat kid and then fixing my problems and then realizing I have the solution to other peoples weight-loss problems for someone else it might be a financial thing you know they fix their financial problems and they realize they can help everyone else's financial problems but you have to go through the suffering you have to be hungry enough to deal with the pain and come out the other side with some scars because scar tissue is infinitely more resilient than regular tissue but again goes back to most people feel like yeah I think there's something great in me but I don't want to explore it I want to play it safe I'm gonna stay bubble wraps I don't want to risk it but we wouldn't be put on this planet if we didn't have this greater thing to accomplish now some of us are going to be Elon Musk and were going to shoot a Tesla to the Mars right and that's okay and others are gonna create a fitness franchise or a or a supplement company that actually delivers you know great nutrients that help people in eyes their performance whatever your purpose is you've got to develop it you got to develop it but you wouldn't be put on this planet if you didn't have it I'm convinced of that not enough people are willing to build that mental emotional toughness and the moment they do they'll go perseverance nothing happens until you get done everyone's got a great idea it'll make me this many millions and it'll help this many people nothing happens so you get that done put yourself in a position where you're gonna thrive not where it's gonna be comfortable right get done I believe we all are raised this fighter jets just we get neutered by parents by grandparents because of the filters they had and viewed life through the experiences they had teachers who go you don't want to disappoint yourself just go to college go get a good job go to college don't go to college today don't go to college it's the worst thing you can do and that's going to be a doctor or an attorney or accountant or you know some kind of an architect don't go to college you can do a lot more in life with that go to college and so again teachers professors will end up neutering us and when they take they take that fighter jet that hunger the claws and fangs they've defamed us alright so now we're crop dusters I don't want to take too many risks I just want to live a good life and they want to be average and mediocre that's the crop duster yet everyone inside has this hunger see the fighter jet didn't go away it's just been suppressed you've been neutered and that was me like hey don't take big Ridge just go get a good job go be a smog technician like that was the advice I was given gonna be a smog technician Society parents who ever have set the standard for you to not play it safe it risks what if you lose what have you lose you care as long as you don't die you can come right back and so the fighter jet mentality is that someone who is just determined relentlessly obsessed and achieving an outcome in the face of all adversity the crop duster is someone who's always looking for the easiest path to loophole which what I used to be a severe crop duster the composter hits the snooze button every day because they'd rather take 10 more minutes of mediocre sleep than getting up and dominating their path every morning on my nightstand there's two stacks of dominoes lined up and at the top of this stack says you're a loser the top of this one says you're a winner if I hit the snooze button I've hit that first domino in the loser stack the rest of my day is gonna suck now with that mentality am I gonna ever hit snooze again absolutely not because I've sold myself on the idea that when I hit the snooze button I'm an absolute loser I'm scum of the earth I am my day is destined to be shitty now some people are you being off yourself more people should be hard on themselves we go around bubble wrapping ourselves right we lead the training bills on for too long like be hard on yourself take up the bubble wrap off take the tikki training wheels out no one did that for me man to be a fighter jet me a fighter jet go to battle every day take risks that's what a fighter jet does a crop duster as a routine life and it's been boring every day is a new opportunity to change your life every day is a new opportunity to make your life a better place to live in your life is at stake think right now what you've done differently from the things you did yesterday perhaps you got up an hour earlier maybe you meditated or you went to the gym if you know that you haven't made any change today then make this your day take this opportunity change you're better than you were yesterday because you know that today and the day after that you will make progress you will know that you put in the work that you earned the improvement you need to push yourself so you feel the satisfaction that you've made further and further past your original routine further and further past your failure there is nothing else you can do but work to work harder and harder the struggle is the only way you know you're going to succeed and take this new opportunity and make this change in your life you will be better take this risk take this opening this is the time to make your life a better place to make your future a place where you can see yourself achieve a future where your life is somewhere where you can create your own Empire know that not all of your successes has to be exposed or flaunted be humble that's even more important than the progress you've made use your success for you and only you use your success to boost your life into the next level use your success to make you grow into a more courageous and stronger person you are you for one reason to be yourself to use the potential you have as a person and make this your future use this as your first step into success change the way you view life switch your perspective of success and use it in the right place confident to stand up and take responsibility for your mistakes and courageous enough to make mistakes in the first place educate yourself be this person become the person you've always wanted to be you need to make this transition for your future to make your life better and bigger you will be who you need to be motivate yourself with that the vision of your future the future of a successful life what's the favorite lesson you've ever learned what is your biggest achievement you've ever accomplished and then what is your greatest success I want you to think about it think about how you got there where you needed to be in order to get there in order for you to make that kind of progress what challenges did you have to pass what limits did you have to crush what hurdles that you have to overcome now I want you to think about that satisfaction that overcame you when you accomplish these things how did you feel and how do you need to feel right now feel like you have the opportunity to repeat those actions that you once did because let me tell you right now you do make the progress now make your progress for the better for you to make more progress you have that potential now go ahead and spark your success and spark your inspiration that inspiration it yields the progress that you need to make use the tools you have use your tools because no one can do it like you can all right use this inspiration while you have the opening stop living in the past start thinking about your future the future where you can succeed that future is actually happening around you right now so take control of your future now by living in the present living for now because that at the end of the day is the only thing that mattered boost your life make your life and live your life it's this time in history that most people are wasting on the wrong stuff they're spending it on Netflix or fortnight or going out with their friends are drinking and if you want to do that that's fine you know enjoy your can mediocre ship life but like there's so much more that you can do with weird knowledge and studying you make a mistake it's a part of life it's part of the journey you know you have to appreciate the lows you have to respect the lows celebrate the highs but respect the lows don't block them out and don't ignore them in order to be successful I think this is the biggest thing you have to be so dedicated to your craft and so passionate about it so single-minded focus on that you know tasks and most people just don't take you that seriously they're like yeah I want to be a millionaire yeah like well I meet people and they're like oh you're that millionaire and it like a smile comes on their face like oh how do I become a millionaire but they don't really believe it they're not asking seriously they don't they're not willing to put in the thousands of hours requires like there's no magic formula this isn't like get-rich-quick and those people who do get rich like the lotto winners like they're tough because they didn't earn it they don't don't appreciate it they don't understand it I think that going through the ups and the downs is what makes you appreciate everything [Music] you have to find meaning and for me and a lot of people like you know you're on this journey like I want to be successful I want to be rich that's what I want but what about when you get there you don't have a plan for that so now I'm trying to teach you know all about charity and giving back in the lessons that I've learned now from being rich for several years and it's not what you might think there's a lot of stuff that comes with being rich and you don't realize it and you know that's life because the world and even school teaches you teaches us in so many ways to you know work on our weaknesses to get stronger and I think that's a huge flaw I think we just get great at what we're good at we only need to be good at one or two things and we can make an impact on the world everybody's in a vehicle like your wealth creation vehicle whether that's a job you don't like or a job you do like or business you started or business that's crushing or business it's not doing great you have this vehicle and when this vehicle is not working we're looking on the road of all the other shiny cars and it's like oh man I tried selling stuff on Amazon that's not working I'm gonna go in the car business the real estate business I'm gonna go in a speaking business the the nutrition business the suppli and you're looking for another car to jump in and I realize people jump from car to car to car their whole life looking for satiation looking for satisfaction looking to make more money if you can stop jumping from vehicle to vehicle the vehicle you're in might be the right vehicle but you don't have the right habits or the right beliefs or the right rules whatever you want to call it my books habit so I call them habits but it's really the foundation for success so you can overcome the obstacles you don't like negative people in your life steer you in different directions it doesn't you know even people who ask me about productivity people say how do you get so much done how do you run a business and still coach the little league in baseball and saw how do you do all those things it's because of just simple success habits like I just wrote something on this recently I said you have to treat your decisions for productivity like binary thinking which is X's and O's black and black or white yes or no is this moving me toward a better version of myself a wealthier version a happier person or is it not we never give ourselves credit we'd never treat a friend the way we treat ourselves it's like I know I've had days I've gone till 10 o'clock at night go man I got nothing done today the biggest lie like we beat ourselves up we just were like these racehorses we wouldn't even treat a racehorse that we owned as bad as we treat ourselves right so I wake up and I'll do a quick little gratitude and they'll say what was one win yesterday that I accomplished I'm like wow you didn't do that yes and then I'll think of one win I want to do that day like what I'm gonna need a million things done thing what's a must today that would be a great win I don't think we should drive for money I think we should drive to be a better version of ourselves when money was no longer a worry for me I drove into me and I have been ignoring and tucking down a lot of crap for a lot of years and I was surface-level I look like the guy that had it all going on but businesses are doing good I'm amazing children company thriving I live in the right neighborhood Drive do I have the right friends I thinking looked great but it was all masked and when money got out of the way I was able to find digging to me and do my own personal development and my own personal growth and really find the things that I wanted to fix so I could become a better version there might be something that makes you a lot of money but it robs your soul so there's that balance and I think that doesn't happen oh that doesn't happen in your 20s and maybe not in your 30s at least been for me I was just fighting to be successful in my 20s and 30s but this face I wish someone would have grabbed me at 25 and said you're gonna make all the money you want you'll have all the success you want make sure your soul is aligned with that money and every time I don't know about you every time I align my values my soul my purpose whatever it is you want to call it with my businesses and my profits they always soar without having to obsess on the you know on the numbers great people don't have anything magic they worked relentlessly for years and years they decided that they were going to be great they decided that they didn't want to sit back and hide they decided that they wanted to shine they decided that their name would be in lights and people would admire what they do if not for you decide to be great for the world success never stops never stops to breathe never takes a day off never looks to take a break we already have enough problems on this planet be different be a person who makes a difference be a person who makes a change for good be a person who has an impact on the world you need to become someone and you

succeed you can be you can be so much more start thinking about what you're actually doing like you're gonna only be so pretty you're only gonna be so smart like you like there's there's things are gonna be natural and there's things that you can actually control I do believe and I don't know if I'm right or wrong I don't but I do believe that work ethic is a taught behavior it's something you do have more control over I feel like there's a shift that can make people work harder the big one that I push is you're gonna die like like if your complaint like to me life is broken down into complaining and not so if you're not complaining well then I know I have no advice for you but I'm pumped like you did it great people don't have anything magic they worked relentlessly for years and years they decided that they were going to be great they decided that they didn't want to sit back and hide they decided that they wanted to shine they decided that their name would be in lights and people would admire what they do if not for you decide to be great for the world I think so many people are keyboard activists right everybody's good at sending a tweet about how the world should be and nobody's doing anything about it and that just that is just very much human nature [Music] but let's not be naive I mean people literally complain when somebody gives them the wrong amount of like extra cream in a Starbucks $6 coffee my lack of interest in complaining is so high and when I watch what people complain about it breaks my heart because they completely lack perspective and i genuinely believe my happiness and optimism comes from my perspective even in political unrest times like right now a lot of people very bent out of shape but the reality is is that it just never been better to be a human being it's that's just the truth that's just data that's that's reality and yeah I mean it's just a very fun time to be alive so much going on be prepared in life for a lot of rejection because if you're prepared for a lot of rejection it comes you don't get turned off you don't get disappointed like well I'm not gonna do this anymore no one thinks it's a good idea it's like I say selling encyclopedias not kinda hundred doors they slab them you're faced you must be just as enthusiastic on door number 101 as door number one [Music] we're all worth far more than anyone can imagine our power honestly is endless in our potential has the power and make something real out of the life you live that's crazy but your life is now you can alter your future this is where you begin to and this is where you start to succeed now this moment around you right now that's the secret power that you have time is your power this time you have the potential to succeed to be something with purpose someone with power there's so many people there talking about how big of an entrepreneur they're gonna be and how much they're gonna achieve and they don't work on weekends you know I worked every Saturday of my 20s like and I talk to 20 year old entrepreneurs every single day lately I've been saying to them this Saturday you're gonna have more time off than I've had in my entire 20s on a Saturday so like before you tell me how you're gonna be bigger than me start thinking about what you're actually doing we're beating ourselves up like everybody sucks at something right like we all have shortcomings and we all have strengths and for me it's like why don't we just audit that like why don't we just look at it that way and be like alright well I'm good at this but I'm not good at that like and then and then and then I only focus what I'm good at right like I don't dwell that I can't fix it around the house I call somebody to fix it like I'm not like I'm not a man I don't give a fuck like you know like like you know like I don't I don't get it like we all like I also think it's awesome that I'm so emotionally stable and I'm the emotional backbone of everybody is that what a dude's supposed to do like like these cliches these stereotypes they're so silly you're exactly right man I don't judge myself I'm fully in love with myself but I'm also fully in love with everybody else too right it's not like like it goes both ways like I tell people to buy into me that work for me it's cuz I buy into them first like I don't need anybody to gain trust with me I've it's they're like I believe if the human race is so grossly underrated we are good of course we have some bad there's and seven billion of us but like when you look at our net score it's bonger like you know any damage we can be doing to each other on a hourly basis and we don't like we're still here like we won were the Alpha being and we've figured out how to stay together this is insane when you think about it and yet everybody wants to dwell on like somebody said something mean we already have enough problems on this planet be different be a person who makes a difference be a person who makes a change for good be a person who has an impact on the world stop denying the world of your greatness you need to see every single day as a bank account nobody is poor nobody is rich everyone has 24 hours each and how you spend your balance each day will decide who you become spend your time wisely do not waste it on things out of your control be prepared for a lot of rejection whether it's in their personal life that someone says you're too old you're too fat you're too young you're not going to do anything other than yes you've got holes in your nose you got these coming out your ears whatever is other than yes this is wonderful realize this can happen in life as soon as people know that when something goes wrong they look at a piece of paper oh yeah that reminds me but the best thing that happened to me no one helped me no one felt sorry for me no one looked at me and said like this day and age though they'll take you in and it'll tell you bye stop picking on this person back then any care the only person that's to turn this person around it's me you don't reckon turnaround is put myself through the worst things possible a human being could ever endure and I'd be the only way that I can build this brain to handle anything that comes in front of him callus in my mind through pain and suffering don't be afraid to step up to your fears don't be afraid to even become your fears take this opportunity now to be worthy of the success you want to be the person that you admire someone who takes extra steps to be more than they could ever imagine those extra steps putting in those extra hours as humans we we want to find out how to be someone else what we don't do is we don't go inside so literally turn yourself inside out read the book that says like like we're writing a book every day for life but we never read that book so what I would challenge this young man or or you don't want me to do is you have to look inside of here so if you see what you really want what are you passionate about we use these words and these little phrases of only the strong survive and also the crap they're all just fucking words take this as your opportunity to change your life for the better to enjoy the life you deserve to have the future you've worked for the future you know you can have use this as a tool a tool to motivate your life through your success this is where it all starts kick off your life in the direction that pushes you towards a life a life where you can take control make sure you know which direction you're headed in organize your world in your favor your favor for your purpose for your future this is the opening to take you towards a life full of success you have this control you have always had this power unleash the animal the only way you're ever going to get to the other side of this journey is you have got to suffer to grow to grow you must suffer and some people will get it something wrong but they have to see what their journey is to start their journey several people live to be 100 years old they have great lives and they have great kids the kids go to college long sort of stuff but somewhere in their life there was a point where they had a decision to make they can go left or right on this path left was the easy route right was a hard rock [Music] allows you to take the easy route and they had a good life that way but the better life was going to the right side and you may have 20 years of pain and suffering to get past it but a lot of us die never truly starting our journey and I would tell this to a person you got to start your journey it may suck but it will it will come out the other side where you're coasting just keep doing the right thing and the good thing it'll happen the reason people change is because of pain my relationship with pain runs deep and it's complicated on the one hand I love pain I love trying to push the outer edges of envelope of what the pain experience is in a physical sense and it's also been my greatest teacher in terms of things that I've accomplished but also my errant ways as well pain is truly the only thing that's ever gotten me to change so it's been my growth accelerator as well as my reminder of when I've gone astray okay so there's a difference between pain and suffering there's a difference between there were we're all suffering we all have suffering we all have an emptiness or a dark place or corners inside of our spirit in our mind that are not fulfilled and watered and full like we all can relate to that and when I'm talking about pain I'm not necessarily talking about suffering but acknowledging our suffering being in touch with the pain that's enough to say when you're really honest that's enough to say I I don't want to do the same like this is not the person I want to become and be on a regular basis if that's the case if that assumption is right then as a loved one my job is to help you get real and experience those places as often as you can so that you make the declaration to say no no no that's not okay for me to feel and be this way on a regular basis you know we're so conditioned to avoid pain every message that we see every billboard we see every advertisement that we're exposed to is telling us that happiness can be can be purchased through comfort luxury through ease and that's sort of implicit in that is that that's how we find happiness and I can tell you that I'm happiest and most alive when I'm butting up against the outer edges of my pain threshold and I'm not afraid of it and so when I start to feel that sensation rather than shirk away from it I realize that's an opportunity to experience a heightened sense of myself in my environment to really be in a position where everything else falls away and it's just you and your ability to take one step forward there's a purity to that that again isn't another great feature and so in terms of techniques I've just learned through experience that just like David Goggin says when the signals that you're receiving are telling you to stop that you don't necessarily have to pay attention to that that that you are capable of so much more if you can develop the acuity the presence of mind and the wherewithal to then take that next step and when you're on the other side of it to realize you're still okay and you can take another step and a whole your horizon extends and you realize that there's a whole world of potential and possibility available to you that you weren't previously aware of [Music] never should never exist in your world if you want to improve if you can see yourself being better never should even be in the picture you have the power to do anything possible the power to transform into somebody capable of anything you can imagine this this is the power you deserve let your success let your mindset be the beginning the journey doesn't in here this journey doesn't end when the Sun goes up when the sun goes down it doesn't end when you close your eyes doesn't end for one second because hard work waits for nobody let yourself be heard let your power speak for itself let your beginning be the potential to take you further and further along your path to success you are the only inspiration you need you are the only force it takes to be someone more to have so much more remember your worth as a person remember the possibilities of your power the fruitful future that lingers over your shoulders this is where you never say never never say never to any possibility to any opportunity to any mistakes to any fear you say yes this this is the only way to grow I think that that most people set the wrong goals for themselves and it's because they're disconnected from who they are they are living someone else's life or they're living a life that's so disconnected from who they are it becomes very difficult to set the right goal so I think in order to reconcile that you have to look inward you know and that can be different for everybody that can mean a consistent meditation practice that can mean therapy that can mean you know starting to do yoga it can mean many many things but I think there's no and run around the very difficult long process of really trying to be honest with yourself about who you are what's important to you what you care about and then beginning to breathe life into those things as frivolous as they may seem to bring expression to the things that that you do care about that that that get you excited in the morning and that doesn't mean you quit your job tomorrow but the more you can foster something that has personal importance to you I think that's the first step in trying to move past whatever it is that's holding you back whether it's professionally or personally to being a more integrated authentic version of yourself let this be the moment you remember show yourself as the rocket in your own life this is the journey you're on you control the progress you make you strengthen the path that transforms you into the person you've been waiting to become the person that allows you to become someone new you have the skills to be bold the strengths to grow faster the power to be stronger the journey you've waited for is here here for you to be something better this is the opportunity in front of you this is your future staring at you face to face waiting for the power to be granted to you your power is welcomed welcomed by your progress your progress that guide you towards your future be someone you can take pride in become someone you know that you can become this is the journey you have the journey you're on take the first step towards success take the first movie of faith into the risks of your life push past the limits move toward a future you can imagine a future use design this is your power self-reliance is everything don't don't expect anybody to do anything for you I'm the only one who can get it done and if you just buckle down and go the extra mile you will solve the problem and you will make your way in the world you know we all have a unique song and I think most people to echo the words of Henry David Thoreau are leading lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them and I find that tragic and so if there's anything that that that my work is about it's about helping people become cognizant of that and to take action so that they don't become that person leading a life of quiet desperation which I think I don't know I wouldn't want to say most people but a lot of people are and I found out heartbreaking you know what's your major malfunction right now what's the thing that keeps you up at night do you resent the most what are you afraid of what do you want to achieve what's in it what's in it what do you think is in your way you know I think just by asking people questions and and and and then holding a vision for that better life for them to say I believe in you I'm not here to tell you what to do or how to live your life but I believe in your greatest expression and I'm gonna hold space for you to give people permission to be honest to be vulnerable we're so afraid of being vulnerable we're terrified of being honest we're so used to being judged and being held to a standard that society sets for us that we don't give ourselves permission to even ask these questions let alone answer them what have you done today to be different what have you done to step outside the conventions that you set for yourself the conventions and the rules set by your past today you have the power to move on today you have the power to move away from your past and move towards a successful future this is your decision your call to make in your future this is how your life can gain its own direction and this is where your life can be so much more so much better you can make it better you have always had the potential to take one more step the potential to take the risks others are too scared to take because you are more and you are stronger and you have the determination and the courage to be so much more
