  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Ooh, today we have a lesson from Napoleon Hill who is very old
• 0:35
  school. I know most of us have read
• 0:37
  Think and Grow, Rich maybe more than once and we've all walked
• 0:42
  away with that. The gems that that book has to
• 0:45
  offer. There's one particular quote,
• 0:48
  that is just so powerful and so poignant, it's worth focusing on
• 0:54
  for a period of time is willpower is the outgrowth of
• 0:59
  definiteness of Purpose expressed through persistent
• 1:03
  action, based on personal initiative.
• 1:07
  That's a lot encompassing in that one little sentence because
• 1:12
  we as human beings, we want to believe that.
• 1:15
  We all have a purpose. We all when we do, we all have a
• 1:19
  purpose and we want to believe that at the core of who we are.
• 1:21
  We want to believe, we all have a purpose in that.
• 1:23
  The meaning of our life is definite in Clarity so that we
• 1:28
  can know that. It all matters, right?
• 1:31
  Everything has to matter to us at some point in time because
• 1:35
  otherwise what's it all for, right?
• 1:37
  So we think about this on our purpose and we say Okay
• 1:42
  definiteness of purpose like are you sure and this is where so
• 1:46
  many people get hung up on I'm not sure on my purpose I'm not
• 1:50
  sure. Can I have multiple purposes?
• 1:53
  I've had that question asked to me so many times.
• 1:55
  I've had people say to me well you know, they say you can have
• 1:58
  to only pick one thing and master it Which I happen to
• 2:01
  think it's a bunch of crap, but just because I've seen people
• 2:05
  who are extraordinarily successful be outstanding at
• 2:09
  multiple things for instant Albert, Einstein was a gifted
• 2:13
  musician, as well as a mathematician, as well as a
• 2:17
  general creative person. Who could do multiple things
• 2:21
  extremely well. He had, you know, that that gift
• 2:26
  of creativity randeep. Threw him through his soul.
• 2:29
  And without question, Kitchen. He had a definiteness of purpose
• 2:34
  and that purpose spanned multiple areas.
• 2:37
  So what does it come down to? When you hear that statement
• 2:40
  willpower is the outgrowth of definite purpose?
• 2:43
  Meaning that's the first, let's divide this up.
• 2:45
  So the first part of it is when you have willpower to stick to
• 2:49
  something, when you have stick-to-itiveness, if you will,
• 2:52
  and your whole being is sticky towards.
• 2:55
  Something, you without question at that point in time, we'll
• 3:00
  have Of the willpower to keep it up because you love it.
• 3:04
  I mean that's what happened to me with coaching.
• 3:06
  I loved it so much. I loved the results.
• 3:09
  I loved having it show up in my own life and how I was becoming
• 3:13
  a different person. But I loved working with my
• 3:15
  clients and seeing how they were growing in there were becoming
• 3:18
  infinitely better day by day. So to me that was just a that
• 3:23
  gave me the will power to do all the things that I needed to do
• 3:26
  to learn and to continue to grow.
• 3:30
  It pushes you when you're aligned with that purpose and
• 3:35
  the Persistence of action, meaning you've got to keep
• 3:39
  taking that action over and over, not just notice his words
• 3:43
  there. What did it wasn't?
• 3:44
  Just take action. It was persistent action.
• 3:47
  Now, I have very well known in my circles for being the person
• 3:51
  that says you know small steps add up constantly doing one
• 3:55
  thing, everyday little tiny steps you don't have to take the
• 3:58
  massive Action all the time. But what you have to do is you
• 4:01
  have to be consistent with small action.
• 4:04
  That's why doing things like tracking.
• 4:06
  Your steps is so important, because when you start tracking
• 4:09
  your steps on a Fitbit, it's quite enlightening.
• 4:11
  None of you have ever done it. But it actually transformed my
• 4:14
  life personally because I didn't realize how little I was
• 4:18
  walking. And then I, when I got my Fitbit
• 4:20
  and I started looking at my, these are tiny, this is a step.
• 4:22
  This is One Step in Time, literally a step at a time and
• 4:27
  you know, the number Thousand. Actually, if you study it was a
• 4:31
  rather random number I'll be at a good number.
• 4:33
  It was just a random number that they came up with and okay, so
• 4:38
  10,000 steps that should be pretty good.
• 4:39
  Doesn't burn, 2000 calories. But he'll you know what?
• 4:42
  At least it was moving and when I started realizing that, those
• 4:46
  steps, how they add up and how they affect you, when you don't
• 4:49
  take the right number of steps that you need for your body,
• 4:52
  because each body is different, then it's like, okay, well I can
• 4:55
  do another 10, you know, another 10 steps I can do another. 100
• 4:59
  steps, I can do another thousand steps.
• 5:01
  And before, you know it you've trained your body to do twenty
• 5:03
  thousand steps a day and then some and that's real.
• 5:07
  That's a number that I do every day and it's one step at a time.
• 5:11
  And that just drills it into my head, that persistent action
• 5:14
  gets you to the fitness level that you want or anything else
• 5:18
  that might be engaged with it. And it's all has to be based on
• 5:22
  his last, his last two words, personal initiative, meaning
• 5:26
  you've got to light your own fire.
• 5:28
  Nobody, Can light your fire for you, you've got to light your
• 5:32
  own fire and when you do, let your own fire, when you do start
• 5:35
  to do things like that, it is extremely enlightening to feel
• 5:41
  like you have put yourself into a position where you are driving
• 5:46
  your train. I don't need anybody else to
• 5:48
  pump me up. I'll be at I have a coach and I
• 5:50
  work with my coach but I do not need him to light me up for this
• 5:56
  because I have personal initiative and the looking to
• 5:59
  yourself and say, well, do I have personal initiative is a
• 6:01
  really important question, do I might committed to this, do I
• 6:05
  feel like I light my own fire up in this because ultimately no
• 6:10
  one can do the lighting of the fire.
• 6:12
  But you, I go to my coach so that he can Stoke, my fire and
• 6:16
  help me understand different thoughts.
• 6:18
  That's the gift. But the I lit, the fire, I lit
• 6:21
  the fire, and I keep the fire going because it's important to
• 6:24
  me. That peace is important to me.
• 6:26
  So my suggestion to you is again, Listen to the phrase
• 6:30
  willpower is the outgrowth of definiteness of purpose,
• 6:34
  expressed through persistent action based on personal
• 6:38
  initiative. You know, it's nothing but pure
• 6:43
  gold in that luck happens when you're prepared and meets
• 6:47
  opportunity as the phrase goes, right.
• 6:49
  It isn't an accident success occurs.
• 6:52
  When you have a definite purpose in your life and you take
• 6:56
  initiative to follow through on action, every single All day
• 7:00
  make no mistake everybody and people make the mistake all the
• 7:04
  time thinking that they don't have to do anything and they're
• 7:07
  just going to get lucky. Well, guess what, any action
• 7:11
  that you take towards it is going to help you move closer to
• 7:14
  being persistent in that and it retrains your brain.
• 7:17
  So I hope you have a very blessed day filled with an
• 7:22
  acknowledgement of definiteness of purpose and help you and it
• 7:26
  helps you move through to get that initiative.
• 7:29
  Moving and keep that fire. Stoked Inlet.
