You vs You: Stop Making Excuses, Start Taking Action · Motivation Mindset Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: There are two fundamental attitudes toward life and its sorrows.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Those with the first attitude blame the world. Those with
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: the second ask what they could do differently. It's much
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: easier and much more gratifying to your basist desires to
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: blame someone else for your misery. You know what's so funny.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: We want people to make guarantees to us, but we're
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: not willing to make guarantees to ourselves. That's the problem
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: with some of you. You always want to blame other people.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: You owe you an explanation. You don't need to look
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: at yourself in the mirror and say why you only
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: giving fifty percent?
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: What's wrong with you?
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Everything that you want, everything that you dream of, everything
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: that you want to.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: Possess, is phenomenal except for you.
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: Is it that you're not.
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: Where you're supposed to be because you don't have what
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: it takes. Are you not where you're supposed to be
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: because you don't have the opportunity?
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: No, no, no, no no.
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: What it boil down to is you not where you're
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: supposed to be because you average? Every single thing will
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: be it's average.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Don't complain, don't talk negative that average people talk normal,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: average people talk problems. The greats talk solutions. Average people
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: use their time to why and complain. Average people's take
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: it's their boss faut, it's their mother's fat. I used
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: to be average. I used to say, when is my
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: daddy come to get me?
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: When is my viola?
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: My father gonna come in my life? And when I
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: would talk like that, I ended up getting kicked out
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: of Ruth.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: And why I talk like that, I end up being home.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: And while I'm talking like that, I would grow. And
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: then one day I woke up and said, Eric, nobody's
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: coming to stay. Nobody's coming to get you, but you
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: can go to the library and get yourself.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: I'm suggesting to you that if you want to be great,
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: since you the first in the class and you last
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: want to leave, I suggest that you study every single
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: fathe you take, every single no, listen to every single
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: thing to teach you tells you be smoke, you'll go
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: the true And you're listening and you're writing these modes.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Who have to get to a place where you become
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: comfortable with being uncomfortable.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: We no longer place ourselves in positions that make us
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: feel good because listening here booth some of what you want.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Some of what you're trying to get ain't in the
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: comfort zone.
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: And so if what you want is.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Not in the comfort zone, you got to come out
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: of the comfort.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: Zone to get what you want. And the reason why
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: we fast from time to time is not that we
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: have to fast, but at.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Some point you gotta fast because you gotta tell them. Plus,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: who's in control? I'm in control?
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: You got in control.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: I know you don't want to wait up. You don't
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: have an outst get all.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: You gotta make sacrifices. You gotta discipline yourself consistently. You
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: gotta program yourself to suffer on a daily basis in
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: order to reform those lazy habits into ones that build success.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: What do you want in your marriage?
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Wonder you want in your health? What do you want financially?
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: How much money do you want to make a year?
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: When do you want to drive?
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: How do you want to live? I'm just waking up.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Like an accident.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: What do you want? And then once you find.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Out what you want to spend the rest of your
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: natural life waking up and.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Going after it.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: You can work on micro habits with regards to your conscientiousness.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: And I think the best microhabits is to set up
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: some aims for yourself, goals that you actually value. Well,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: all right, you're going to have to put some effort
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: into your life and you need to be motivated to
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: do that, and so what are the potential sources of motivation. Well,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: you could think about them in the big fire. But
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: then there are dimensions that you want to consider your
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: life across, and so we ask people about Well, you know,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: if you could have your life the way you wanted
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: it in three to five years, if you were taking
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: care of yourself properly, you know, what would you want
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: from your friendships, what would you want from your intimate relationship?
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: How would you like to structure your family? What do
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: you want for your career? Well, how are you going
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: to use your time outside of your job, and how
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: are you going to regulate your mental and physical health
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: and maybe also your drug and alcohol use. And then
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: maybe you know, you develop a vision of what your life,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: what you would like your life to be. Once the
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: goal is established, and then you break down the goal
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: into micro processes that you can implement. The microprocesses become
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: rewarding in relation to their causal association with the goal,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: and that tangles in your incentive reward system, and the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: way it works is that it works better if it
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: produces positive emotion when it can see you moving towards
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: a valued goal. Okay, well, what's the implication of that?
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Better have a valued goal because otherwise you can't get
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: any positive motivation working out. And so the more valuable
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: the goal, in principle, the more the microprocess is associated
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: with that goal start to take on a positive charge.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: And so what that means is will you get up
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: in the morning and you're excited about the day, You're
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: ready to go? And so, as far as I can tell,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: what you do is you specify your long term ideal.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: You do that in some sense has a unique individual
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: You want to specify goals that make you say, oh,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: if that could happen as a consequence of my efforts,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: it would clearly be worthwhile. Because the question always is
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: why do something? Because doing nothing is easy. You just
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: sit there and you don't do anything that's real easy.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: The question is why would you ever do anything? And
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: answer that has to be because you've determined by some
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: means that it's worthwhile. And then the next question might be, well,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: where should you look for worthwhile things, and one would
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: be well you could consult your own temperament, and the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: other would be while you kind of look at what
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: it is that people accrue that's valuable across the lifespat
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: So you do a structural analysis of the sub components
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: of human existence. And you need a family, you need
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: friends like you don't need to have all these things,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: but you better have most of them. Family, friends, career,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: educational goals plans for you know, time outside of work,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: put attention to your mental and physical health, etc. You know,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: those are that's what life is about. And if you
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: don't have any of those things, well then all you've
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: got left is misery and suffering. So that's a bad
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: deal for you.
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: Set yourself free for your own sake. Gather and save
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: your time, which till lately has been forced from you,
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: or filched away, or has merely slipped from your hands.
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: Make yourself believe the truth of my words, that certain
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: moments are torn from us, that some are gently removed,
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: and that others glide beyond our reach. The most disgraceful
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: kind of loss, however, is that due to carelessness. Furthermore,
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: if you will pay close heed to the problem. You
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: will find that the largest portion of our life passes
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: while we are doing ill, a goodly share while we
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: are doing nothing, and the whole while we are doing
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: that which is not to the purpose. What man can
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: you show me who places any value on his time,
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: who reckons the worth of each day, who understands that
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: he is dying daily? For we are mistaken when we
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: look forward to death. The major portion of death has
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: already passed. Whatever years be behind us are in death's hands. Therefore,
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: do as you write me that you are doing, hold
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: everyhow in your grasp. Lay hold of today's task, and
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: you will not need to depend so much upon tomorrow's.
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: While we are postponing. Life speeds by nothing is except time.
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: We were entrusted by nature with the ownership of this
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: single thing, so fleeting and slippery that anyone who will
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: can oust us from possession. What fools these mortals be.
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: They allow the cheapest and most useless things, which can
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: easily be replaced, to be charged in the reckoning after
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: they have acquired them. But they never regard themselves as
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: in debt when they have received some of that precious
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: commodity time. And yet time is the one loan which
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: even a grateful recipient cannot repay. You may desire to
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: know how I, who preach to you so freely and practicing,
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: I confess frankly my expense account balances as you would
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: expect from one who is free handed but careful. I
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: cannot boast that I waste nothing, but I can at
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: least tell you what I am wasting, and the cause
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: and manner of the loss. I can give you the
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: reasons why I am a poor man. My situation, however,
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: is the same as that of many who are reduced
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: to slender means through no fault of their own. Everyone
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: forgives them, but no one comes to their rescue. What
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: is the state of things? Then? It is this. I
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: do not regard a man as poor if the little
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: which remains is enough for him. I advise you, however,
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: to keep what is really yours. And you cannot begin
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: too early, for, as our ancestors believed, it is too
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: late to spare. When you reach the dregs of the cask,
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: of that which remains at the bottom, the amount is
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: slight and the quality is vile.
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: We often hear these words confidence, will, power, and motivation.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: But do you understand what these words stand for. When
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: it comes to increasing motivation and self control, you have
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: to remain patient and allow your mind to adapt to
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: the new changes. If you rush into things, then you
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: will not be able to see lasting results and therefore
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: must come up with a plan that will slowly introduce
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: these changes in your life. It is believed that it
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: takes twenty one days for a person to develop a
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: new habit. This is the time that the brain takes
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: to understand a habit and allow it to become a
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: part of everyday life. It is understood that all human
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: beings are born with all three of these qualities, and
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: it is inherent for people to feel confident, motivated, and
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: exercise self control. It is vital for you to know
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: where yours lie, as then you can alter it and
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: raise it up. You can start by making a note
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: of your everyday activities. Maintain a book and write down
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: everything that you do for a week, right from the
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: time you get up.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Till you go to bed.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: Make a list of all the activities that you do
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: on a daily basis. You have to record the events
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: in chronological order and write down what it is and
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: why you are performing it. It will pay to divide
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: the book into mundane routine housework an office work, as
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: you can easily refer to it at a later date.
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: The basic idea is to look at the tasks that
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: come your way and how motivated confident you are while
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: performing them. You can assign a task a level, such
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: as level one being tetest and level ten being the easiest,
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: and see how you fare. If you are highly motivated
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: and confident, then you can reward yourself a point between
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: one and five. If you are not as motivated or
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: confident in performing the task, then you can assign between
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: five and ten. At the same time, you must also
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: ask a family member and a friend or a colleague
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: to write down what they observe, so we'll help you
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: compare your thoughts with that of another person so that
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: you can match the two. Once you have finished with
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: the two, you can compare your scores and see how
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: motivated you think you are and how others have perceived it.
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: You have to make a separate list of the obstacles
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: that stand in your way. This is to see what
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: is stopping you from going after your goals and ambitions.
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: With the prepared list, you will be able to see
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: what is causing you to feel demotivated or lack confidence.
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: It can range from personal issues to distractions, and you
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: must make a list of them as you know. It
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: is quite necessary for you to remove these obstacles if
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: you wish to enhance your confidence and motivation. It might
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: seem like a tough task, but is important for you
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: to deal with them as soon as possible so that
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: you can increase your confidence and motivation. The obstacles might
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: seem a little overwhelming, but is important for you to
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: deal with them as efficiently as you can. You have
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: to write them down so that you know what you
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: are dealing with and deal with them one after the other.
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: These obstacles can be both mental and physical in nature
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: and will be important for you to address them separately.
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: You have to come up with a plan to escape
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: them so that you can remain on the right track.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: As mentioned earlier, you should allow it sufficient time so
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: that your mind and body can adjust to it. After
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: the first week of observation, you have to spend a
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: day in analyzing and coming with solutions to the problems.
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: You should put in the right effort to fulfill this task.
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: You can write them down along with the solutions to
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: start working on them as soon as possible. For example,
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: if you are unable to finish a task at the office,
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: then you must look at what is holding you back
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: from doing so. If it is a distraction, then you
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: must work on dealing with it and reducing it down
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: to size. As you know, it is quite tough to
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: convince yourself mentally than it is to physically. You will
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: be able to take action only if you put your
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: mind to it and are fully capable of undertaking the action.
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: You must also make up your mind to enjoy the process.
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: As mentioned earlier, your mind should be in a position
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: to put your body to the task. If you remain
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: mentally disinterested in something, then it will be quite difficult
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: for you to fulfill the task. Don't think of it
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: as a task and consider it to be more of
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: any activity. Think of it as a means to enhance
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: your overall living and to be able to do more
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: with your life. Again, it helps to have the company
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: of someone who can inspire you to put in your
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: best efforts. Inspiration will help you remain on track and
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: do more in less time. The inspiration can be a
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: role model. You can emulate their moves to attain success.
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: You will have to do this for the next ten
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: days and make sure that you stick to the plan.
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: You can stick hard copies of it so that you
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: are reminded of what you should be doing. It will
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: be a good idea for you to also maintain a
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: soft copy of the plan so that you can refer
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: to it from time to time. Remember that only you
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: you are responsible for your progress and must put in
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: the effort to attain what you desire. When it comes
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: to enhancing your personal motivation, you have to ensure that
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: you work towards it by prioritizing it and ensuring that
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: you are one hundred focused on the task at hand.
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: No task should be considered menial and everything should be
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: viewed as an important task. You have to measure your progress.
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: It is important for you to check your progress to
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: ensure that you are on the right track. The best
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: way to do so is by performing the first task
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: all over again. You can start by recording your activities
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: once again and check your progress. You can use the
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: same activity list as you did before, as it will
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: be easier for you to measure your progress. You can
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: write down how motivated you are now and how much
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: more effort you are putting in towards completing a task.
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: You must also check whether you finish the task ask
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: thoroughly before moving on to another one. This is an
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: important aspect that you must pay attention to. If you
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: leave a task halfway, then it will be quite useless.
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: Even if you put in one hundred effort at the beginning,
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: it will only mean that you lost interest and were
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: not motivated enough to complete the task. You can also
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: assign the task to the same family member and colleague
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: as before to observe you and the effort you are
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: putting into fulfilling the tasks. Once it is done, you
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: can then compare the two and see where you stand.
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: You will see a difference in your markings as your
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: mind will constantly tell you to perform something in a
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: better manner, but you have to aim towards attaining a
