Not Synced
YOU KNOW, IF YOU LOOK AT YOUR TWITTER FEED, IT�S KIND OF LIKE
THE WHO�S WHO OF ALL SORTS OF DIFFERENT DISCIPLINES, YOU KNOW,
ATHLETES AND CEOS AND ACTORS
AND, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE, WHAT YOU MIGHT CALL, HIGH-PERFORMANCE PEOPLE
AND I ALWAYS WONDERED, YOU KNOW, YOU MUST SEE SOME SIMILARITIES WITH ALL THESE PEOPLE
AND I WONDER IF IT�S THAT THEY HAVE THESE HIGH-PERFORMANCE HABITS
I GUESS, SINCE YOU�RE WITH THEM, THEY�RE ALWAYS LEARNING
IS THERE SOMETHING THAT YOU, KIND OF SEE THROUGHOUT THESE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PEOPLE?
BECAUSE YOU�RE IN A REALLY UNIQUE PLACE
PROBABLY THERE�S NO ONE LIKE YOU
THAT GETS TO BE IN THESE PEOPLE�S LIVES
I WONDER WHAT YOU SEE THERE
I MEAN, I THINK THAT THE COMMON THREAD AND I WOULD IMAGINE, WITH ALL YOUR GUESTS, THEY SHARE THIS IN COMMON
IS THAT THEY ARE LIFE-LONG LEARNERS
BECAUSE ANYONE WHO, I THINK, LEARNING, OR ESPECIALLY,
META LEARNING, LEARNING HOW TO LEARN
IT�S LIKE THE GRANDFATHER OR THE GRANDMOTHER OF PERSONAL GROWTH
OR HIGH-PERFORMANCE, OR SELF-HELP, IF YOU WILL
BECAUSE WITHOUT LEARNING, NOTHING CHANGES
AND SO, I THINK THAT ONE OF THE COMMON THEMES IS THAT THEY HAVE A HIGH-STANDARD FOR THINGS
YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE A VISION AND, YOU KNOW,
I ALWAYS TALK ABOUT THREE HS
HEAD, HEART, HANDS
THAT YOU COULD VISUALIZE THINGS WITH YOUR HEAD
AND, YOU KNOW, SET GOALS AND OUTCOMES AND KPIS (KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS) OR AFFIRMATIONS
BUT IF YOU�RE NOT ACTING WITH YOUR HANDS
SOMETHING IS MISSING
AND I THINK THE SECOND H, YOU KNOW, THE HEART,
AND HAVING THE MOTIVATION OR DRIVE, THE EMOTION
TO BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE THOSE THINGS
BECAUSE WE�RE NOT ALWAYS LOGICAL, RIGHT?
BUT WE�RE BIOLOGICAL
YOU KNOW, DOPAMINE, OXYTOCIN, SEROTONIN, ENDORPHINS
I MEAN, WE DO THINGS VERY BASED ON OUR FEELINGS
AND I FIND THAT SPENDING TIME WITH HIGH-ACHIEVERS
THEY HAVE HIGH DRIVE
YOU KNOW, THOSE FEELINGS, A HIGH LEVEL OF�
SOME PEOPLE CALL IT PURPOSE
ASK YOURSELF, LIKE WHY?
WHY DO I WANT TO REMEMBER THIS?
WHY DO I WANT TO LEARN THIS?
WHY DO I WANT TO ACHIEVE THAT GOAL?
BECAUSE REASONS REAP RESULTS
THEY REALLY DO
REASONS REAP RESULTS AND A LOT OF REWARDS
I REALLY THINK LIFE, LIKE, WE REALLY GROW THE MOST AND LIVE THE MOST WHEN WE�RE PLAYING AND WE�RE PRACTICING AT THE EDGE OF OUR LIMITS
YOU KNOW?
BECAUSE WE�RE UNCOMFORTABLE
EXACTLY!
AND I THINK THAT THEIR COMMONALITY IS COMMON WITH HIGH-PERFORMERS OR ELITE MENTAL PERFORMERS
OR ATHLETES OR ACTORS OR TRADERS
OR, YOU KNOW, EDUCATORS OR PHILANTHROPISTS
THEY�RE JUST�THEY�RE AT THAT LEVEL
I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE, THEY GIVE AWAY THEIR SOVEREIGNTY AND A LOT OF THEIR POWER TO OTHER PEOPLE AS AN EXPERT OR AS A �GURU�, IF YOU WILL,
BUT I THINK THE ULTIMATE EXPERT IS OUR SELF
AND I REALLY DO BELIEVE SELF-AWARENESS IS A SUPER POWER
LIKE KNOWING YOURSELF
FOR ME TO FEEL TOTALLY FULFILLED
AND IF PEOPLE WANT TO BE SUCCESSFUL, BE HAPPY
I THINK IT COMES DOWN TO 2 THINGS
I THINK IT COMES DOWN TO HAVING THE CURIOSITY TO WANT TO KNOW YOURSELF
LIKE REALLY GO DEEP ABOUT WHO ARE YOU
WHAT ARE YOUR BELIEFS AND WHAT YOU REALLY VALUE?
WHAT DO YOU STAND FOR?
WHAT DO YOU STAND AGAINST?
ALL THESE DIFFERENT THINGS
YOUR CAPABILITIES, YOUR HABITS, YOUR ROUTINES
SO HAVING THAT SELF-AWARENESS, THE CURIOSITY TO KNOW YOURSELF
BUT ONCE YOU KNOW YOURSELF
I THINK, A LOT OF PEOPLE MIGHT KNOW THEMSELVES, BUT YOU ALSO NEED THE COURAGE TO BE YOURSELF TOO
LIKE, ONCE YOU YOURSELF, YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT COURAGE, THAT BOLDNESS TO REALLY LIVE IT
BECAUSE I REALLY DO BELIEVE THAT WE�RE TALKING ABOUT LEARNING FROM OTHER PEOPLE
I BELIEVE ULTIMATELY THE LIFE WE LIVE ARE THE LESSONS WE TEACH
THE LIFE WE LIVE ARE THE LESSONS WE TEACH TO OTHER PEOPLE
AND IT�S NOT ABOUT WHAT WE SAY
SO MANY PEOPLE JUST SAY, YOU KNOW,
THEY COULD SAY THINGS ALL THE TIME
BUT IF THEY�RE NOT DOING THOSE THINGS
I FEEL LIKE WE DON�T REALLY UNDERSTAND IT
AND I THINK REALLY WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT
A LIFE WELL LIVED IS NOT JUST THE WORDS
BECAUSE WORDS�
IT�S BETTER WELL DONE THAN WELL SAID
YOU KNOW? BUT SO MANY OF US ARE SHRINKING SOMETIMES
AND YOU MUST SEE THIS, BRIAN, BECAUSE WE�RE SO�
WE VALUE OTHER PEOPLE�S OPINION SO MUCH AND THEIR EXPECTATION SO MUCH
AND WE DON�T REALLY KNOW OUR SELF
AND EVEN IF WE ARE GETTING GLIMPSES OF IT
YOU KNOW, IT�S HARD IN THIS WORLD TO BE OUR SELF
WHEN YOU HAVE�
YOU KNOW, SO MANY PEOPLE ARE LIVING A LIFE
YOU KNOW, IT�S THEIR PARENTS� IDEAS FOR THEM
OR IT�S THE JONESES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT
AND I THINK YOU COULD REALLY GO BROKE
BUYING INTO OTHER PEOPLE�S OPINIONS, YOU KNOW, AND THEIR EXPECTATIONS
AND SO, COMING BACK TO THIS, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE�RE TALKING ABOUT
HUMAN MEMORY AND LEARNING
I JUST FEEL LIKE WE�RE HERE TO GROW
AND WE�RE HERE TO GIVE
AND THAT�S WHEN WE FEEL THE MOST EMPOWERED
SO IT�S LIKE KNOWING WHO WE ARE
AND THEN BEING WHO WE ARE
