Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: You can find yourself stressed out, you can find yourself depressed,
- 0:06Speaker 1: mentally flatulal because of the experiences, the turbulus. But you
- 0:12Speaker 1: have gone through.
- 0:13Speaker 2: There's always good reasons for not doing what you should,
- 0:15Speaker 2: that's for sure. The reasons pile up day after day
- 0:18Speaker 2: to not do what you should, especially because you're aiming
- 0:21Speaker 2: at things in the future. You can put them off
- 0:23Speaker 2: indefinitely right because of the demands of the day. But
- 0:27Speaker 2: these stories, they say a variety of things saying oh,
- 0:31Speaker 2: especially in combination, they say, when you leave somewhere terribly, do.
- 0:35Speaker 3: Not look back.
- 0:36Speaker 2: There's no nostalgia. That's the letting the dead parts of
- 0:41Speaker 2: yourself go. And then if you're going to follow the good,
- 0:44Speaker 2: there's no excuse not to do. It does and it
- 0:47Speaker 2: means no excuse whatsoever under any circumstances. There is no
- 0:52Speaker 2: excuse whatsoever for not getting at what it is that
- 0:57Speaker 2: you should be doing now. It's not necessarily that easy
- 1:00Speaker 2: to turn and face something. But you do detail out
- 1:03Speaker 2: a variety of strategies in your books, and one of
- 1:06Speaker 2: the ways of read calibrating that is to break down
- 1:10Speaker 2: the problem into small and manageable step.
- 1:14Speaker 4: How did you do it? You created it three ways.
- 1:16Speaker 4: Number One, you decided there's something you wanted so bad
- 1:20Speaker 4: that you unleashed all your desire. You became obsessed with it.
- 1:24Speaker 4: If it was a business or a car, or a relationship,
- 1:27Speaker 4: or a transformation in your body. If there's something you
- 1:30Speaker 4: once envisioned and now it's real, it's because you didn't
- 1:33Speaker 4: just envision it, you brought so much emotion to it
- 1:36Speaker 4: that now it's in your life. I want this. You
- 1:39Speaker 4: may dream you about, have thought about it, talked about it.
- 1:42Speaker 4: But when you focus on something continuously, something magical happens.
- 1:46Speaker 4: You envisioned something, you got clear about it, and then
- 1:48Speaker 4: you start thinking about all the reasons why you wanted it.
- 1:52Speaker 4: You got excited about it. So this is what's next
- 1:55Speaker 4: for me?
- 1:56Speaker 5: Now, little or change something.
- 2:01Speaker 6: It's choice time. You can do whatever you want. But
- 2:05Speaker 6: it's nice to know any day you wish you can
- 2:06Speaker 6: change your whole life. What can you do starting tomorrow
- 2:12Speaker 6: it'll make a difference. What are you going to do
- 2:19Speaker 6: that'll make a change in your life's direction? Now, see
- 2:22Speaker 6: if you don't do something starting tomorrow that'll make a difference.
- 2:25Speaker 5: Guess what it's gonna be the.
- 2:28Speaker 6: Same and see that way you can guess what the
- 2:31Speaker 6: next five years are going to be like. Look at
- 2:32Speaker 6: the last five, because the next five are going to
- 2:35Speaker 6: be like the last five unless you major key tomorrow
- 2:39Speaker 6: change it all.
- 2:39Speaker 1: Spend all your time lamenting and complaining about how bad
- 2:42Speaker 1: things are, using your energy negatively rather than positively, complaining
- 2:47Speaker 1: rather than producing.
- 2:48Speaker 4: That's what we do when we're afraid of really making it.
- 2:51Speaker 7: Because when you raise your hands in victory, I want
- 2:53Speaker 7: you to own that too. But right now, we gotta
- 2:55Speaker 7: make this move. What happened to you just now? I
- 2:58Speaker 7: don't want to hear about your chaf we all got them.
- 3:01Speaker 7: I don't want to hear about your limitations, what we
- 3:03Speaker 7: all got them.
- 3:04Speaker 1: You can experience enough pain in life that you can
- 3:07Speaker 1: clover you to the ground, and you believe you can't
- 3:11Speaker 1: do it. You believe that this is it for you.
- 3:15Speaker 5: No, it's not. I don't know what you've been through,
- 3:18Speaker 5: I don't know how bad it hurts you, but I
- 3:20Speaker 5: came to tell you what you are going through right
- 3:23Speaker 5: now is not how your story is supposed to end.
- 3:30Speaker 5: We let the conditions around us convince us that we
- 3:33Speaker 5: can't reach what we're trying to reach because of circumstances
- 3:37Speaker 5: beyond our control.
- 3:38Speaker 7: It's time to put your pieces together.
- 3:41Speaker 4: Of your funzle we turn tragedy into triumph and fallly us.
- 3:46Speaker 7: You gotta want to succeed as fair as you want
- 3:50Speaker 7: to free.
- 3:52Speaker 3: The thing that we have to continue to passionately, uncompromisably,
- 3:57Speaker 3: not give in on It's the fact that I'm not
- 4:00Speaker 3: staying stagnant.
- 4:01Speaker 5: I'm moving forward.
- 4:03Speaker 3: It won't last forever. Means the ultimate challenge he is
- 4:10Speaker 3: ahead of you. It means you can only go up.
- 4:14Speaker 3: And it also means that things are going to be tough.
- 4:21Speaker 3: Things are going to be tougher than anything you can imagine.
- 4:26Speaker 3: But well, right now you're being tried, you're being forged,
- 4:33Speaker 3: You're being tested by fire and by the pain.
- 4:39Speaker 5: That's the dustin don't fail, the destin.
- 4:49Speaker 8: Being capable and open to controlling yourself and taking personal
- 4:54Speaker 8: accountability for your life is a crucial factor in achieving happiness,
- 4:59Speaker 8: well being, success, accomplishments, and personal leadership.
- 5:05Speaker 4: The act of.
- 5:05Speaker 8: Embracing responsibility is among the most challenging disciplines, yet it's
- 5:09Speaker 8: pivotal because success hinges on it. When you evade accepting
- 5:14Speaker 8: responsibility and instead try to shift the blame for the
- 5:17Speaker 8: aspects of your life, causing happiness on to others, institutions,
- 5:21Speaker 8: or circumstances. It distorts the relationship between actions and outcomes.
- 5:26Speaker 8: This weakens your character, diminishes your determination, and dilutes your
- 5:31Speaker 8: essence as a human being. This pattern paves the way
- 5:34Speaker 8: for offering endless excuses. In the fast paced world we
- 5:40Speaker 8: live in, keeping our focus can be a challenge. We're
- 5:44Speaker 8: surrounded by many things that want our attention. Think about
- 5:48Speaker 8: all the information, messages, and tasks that come our way
- 5:52Speaker 8: every day. They can easily take us away from what
- 5:55Speaker 8: truly matters. But here's a secret. When we take responsibility
- 5:59Speaker 8: for our act, it helps us have more control over
- 6:02Speaker 8: our lives. It's like a cycle. The more responsibility we accept,
- 6:06Speaker 8: the more in control we feel. And when we feel
- 6:09Speaker 8: in control, we also feel happier and more positive about things.
- 6:13Speaker 8: Imagine you're juggling lots of tasks, like keeping plates spinning
- 6:17Speaker 8: in the air and this fast world, staying focused is
- 6:20Speaker 8: like holding onto those spinning plates. Now here's the interesting part.
- 6:24Speaker 8: The more we say I am responsible, the better we
- 6:28Speaker 8: become at handling these tasks. It's all most like a superpower.
- 6:33Speaker 8: When we say these words, we're actually saying that we
- 6:37Speaker 8: have a role in what's happening. This helps us feel
- 6:40Speaker 8: strong and capable. Plus it stops negative feelings from stealing
- 6:45Speaker 8: our happiness. Whenever we're upset, we can just remind ourselves
- 6:50Speaker 8: that we are responsible for our reactions. Now, let's think
- 6:54Speaker 8: about intelligence. It's like a tool that can cut in
- 6:58Speaker 8: two directions. We can use it to come up with
- 7:00Speaker 8: reasons why things aren't our fault or why others are
- 7:04Speaker 8: to blame. But we can also use it to find
- 7:07Speaker 8: out why we are responsible for what's happening and take
- 7:11Speaker 8: action to fix it. It's like choosing between making excuses
- 7:17Speaker 8: and making progress. Even in situations like accidents where we
- 7:21Speaker 8: might not be at fault, we're still responsible for how
- 7:25Speaker 8: we react. Leaders, those people who guide and inspire others,
- 7:32Speaker 8: show us something important. They always take responsibility for what's
- 7:36Speaker 8: going on. They don't complain or get upset when problems
- 7:41Speaker 8: show up. Instead, they act quickly to solve issues. Being
- 7:45Speaker 8: a leader means having a response ability. It's like a
- 7:49Speaker 8: super skill that helps us stay calm when things go wrong.
- 7:53Speaker 8: Just as we don't get mad at the weather, we
- 7:55Speaker 8: don't let things we can't control bother us, and we
- 8:00Speaker 8: don't let past events steal our happiness either. It's like
- 8:05Speaker 8: saying what can't be changed, I will accept This way,
- 8:10Speaker 8: we don't let old memories make us sad. Now, let's
- 8:15Speaker 8: talk about controlling our emotions. Imagine you're the boss of
- 8:18Speaker 8: your feelings. Taking charge of your emotions starts with saying
- 8:21Speaker 8: I am responsible for how I feel. This means we
- 8:24Speaker 8: don't blame others or make excuses for our feelings. Instead,
- 8:29Speaker 8: we take control by deciding how we'll react to what happens,
- 8:33Speaker 8: even when we're angry or worried. The best way to
- 8:36Speaker 8: feel better is to take action towards our goals. But
- 8:39Speaker 8: before we dive into action, we need to decide that
- 8:42Speaker 8: we'll be the boss of our thoughts, feelings, and actions.
- 8:46Speaker 8: We stay busy with important things so we don't have
- 8:50Speaker 8: time for negative feelings. By being in control of ourselves,
- 8:55Speaker 8: we become more powerful, happier, and positive in everything we do.
- 9:01Speaker 8: The key to focus thinking isn't just about dealing with distractions.
- 9:09Speaker 8: It's about creating a world where we're in charge of
- 9:12Speaker 8: our thoughts, where we can be more creative, get things done,
- 9:17Speaker 8: and become better versions of ourselves. It's like a special ability.
- 9:23Speaker 8: We have to choose what we focus on in a
- 9:26Speaker 8: world full of things trying to get our attention. So remember,
- 9:29Speaker 8: by taking responsibility and staying in control, we can lead
- 9:32Speaker 8: a happier and more successful life.
- 9:35Speaker 9: Succeeding in life has always been a matter of doing
- 9:37Speaker 9: that which the great majority does not do. Now let's
- 9:42Speaker 9: keep this in mind as we get into this business
- 9:44Speaker 9: of goals. It isn't that I want to make an
- 9:47Speaker 9: invidious comparison between the five percent and the ninety five percent.
- 9:51Speaker 9: Not at all. That's just the way it is, and
- 9:54Speaker 9: if we don't recognize it, it would be to our cost.
- 9:57Speaker 9: If you can tell me what you want, I can
- 9:59Speaker 9: tell you how to get it. You see, the trick
- 10:02Speaker 9: is not in achieving our goals, it is in establishing them.
- 10:07Speaker 9: A ship would never leave a harbor if it did
- 10:10Speaker 9: not have a destination. An industrial plant would never open
- 10:13Speaker 9: its gates if it did not have a product or
- 10:15Speaker 9: a purpose. Football would not be played without gold posts,
- 10:20Speaker 9: nor would baseball without a home plate. Every business operates
- 10:25Speaker 9: for a purpose, Every game has a reason. Getting back
- 10:29Speaker 9: to the analogy of our ship, if you were to
- 10:31Speaker 9: climb to the navigation bridge, and ask the captain the
- 10:33Speaker 9: name and location of his next port of call. He
- 10:36Speaker 9: would tell you immediately, There's not the slightest doubt in
- 10:40Speaker 9: his mind. Can you tell anyone your destination just as
- 10:44Speaker 9: quickly and in one sentence. The captain of the ship
- 10:48Speaker 9: knows that he can arrive at only one port at
- 10:50Speaker 9: a time. He knows that it's impossible to arrive at too.
- 10:54Speaker 5: Do you know that?
- 10:55Speaker 9: He also knows that his destination will be invisible for
- 10:58Speaker 9: fully ninety nine percent of his book. But he knows
- 11:01Speaker 9: it's there and that he'll reach it barring an unforeseen catastrophe.
- 11:06Speaker 9: If he will just keep doing certain things a certain
- 11:08Speaker 9: way every day. One fine morning, his destination will appear
- 11:12Speaker 9: on the horizon. He'll sail into port, his voyage successfully completed.
- 11:18Speaker 9: When his business has been accomplished, he'll then sail to
- 11:20Speaker 9: another predetermined port of call, and this will take him
- 11:23Speaker 9: and his ship from one success to another for the
- 11:26Speaker 9: rest of both of their lives. By understanding that he
- 11:29Speaker 9: can reach only one port at a time, the owner
- 11:32Speaker 9: of ship can in the short space of a very
- 11:35Speaker 9: few years, reach hundreds of ports successfully. There'll be problems,
- 11:40Speaker 9: lots of them, but they'll be solved, and the ship
- 11:43Speaker 9: will steam its solitary course over the deep oceans of
- 11:46Speaker 9: the world, devoting its life to accomplishing its mission and
- 11:50Speaker 9: contributing its share to the welfare and economy of the world.
- 11:54Speaker 9: Men and women who follow this sensible, obvious, and meaningful
- 11:58Speaker 9: way of life will do the same. But the paradox
- 12:02Speaker 9: is that most are like ships without rudders. They're subject
- 12:06Speaker 9: to the whims of wind and tide. And while they
- 12:09Speaker 9: hope they'll one day arrive in a rich and bustling port,
- 12:12Speaker 9: you and I know that for every narrow harbor entrance,
- 12:15Speaker 9: there's a thousand miles of treacherous and rocky coast line.
- 12:19Speaker 9: The chances of their just drifting into porter a thousand
- 12:22Speaker 9: to one against them. These are the unfortunate people who,
- 12:25Speaker 9: not knowing the rules, believe that circumstance controls our lives.
- 12:30Speaker 9: They believe in luck and superstition, fate the breaks. They
- 12:33Speaker 9: believe that success comes as a result of who you know,
- 12:36Speaker 9: not what you know. And while they cling to their
- 12:39Speaker 9: false alibis, life passes them by. For the rules of
- 12:42Speaker 9: life are just, and they are checkmated without haste, but
- 12:46Speaker 9: without remorse. Now, what about you, remembering that the definition
- 12:52Speaker 9: of success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal.
- 12:57Speaker 9: What's the ideal toward which you are working now to day, yesterday,
- 13:01Speaker 9: and tomorrow? Can you write it in one sentence? Is
- 13:05Speaker 9: your goal sharply and clearly defined? I could tell you
- 13:08Speaker 9: how you could be and have anything you set your
- 13:10Speaker 9: mind on in five years. To better understand this, you
- 13:14Speaker 9: must examine one of the most overlooked facts in the world.
- 13:18Speaker 9: It is that every job, no matter what it may be,
- 13:20Speaker 9: hold somewhere within itself the key to everything we want
- 13:23Speaker 9: in life, the key to greatness. But we must look
- 13:26Speaker 9: for it, and we must think decide to become a
- 13:29Speaker 9: professional at your business. You see, we can either compete
- 13:35Speaker 9: or create. If we compete with all the other people
- 13:39Speaker 9: in our line of work, we must be willing to
- 13:41Speaker 9: accept the same rewards. If that's what we want, fine,
- 13:45Speaker 9: But if we want to become professionals at what we do,
- 13:48Speaker 9: then we must create. And when we begin to do this,
- 13:52Speaker 9: there's no limit to that which we can achieve.
