When Stability Returns: THURSDAY (S5) S19:E6 · Inspirations for Your Life

• 0:24
  Well, hello there everyone, it is John C.
• 0:28
  Morley, Serial Entrepreneur.
• 0:30
  It is so great to be with you
• 0:32
  on Inspirations for Your Life.
• 0:33
  I really do appreciate it and I hope
• 0:36
  that you guys are enjoying all the great
• 0:39
  content that I produce here and that it
• 0:42
  is allowing you to become an even better
• 0:44
  version of yourself.
• 0:47
  So guys, we are on the air every
• 0:49
  single day.
• 0:50
  If this is your very first time here,
• 0:52
  I want to take the opportunity, ladies and
• 0:54
  gentlemen, to say thank you.
• 0:56
  And on top of thank you, I want
• 0:59
  to say welcome.
• 0:59
  If you've been here many times before, I
• 1:01
  want to say thank you, but I also
• 1:02
  want to say welcome back.
• 1:04
  It is always great to have people on
• 1:06
  here that really appreciate the quality and content
• 1:10
  that I produce.
• 1:11
  That means a lot to me, guys, so
• 1:13
  I really do appreciate that and that you've
• 1:15
  decided to be here and do all this
• 1:17
  great stuff with me and become a better
• 1:19
  version of yourself because I think that makes
• 1:22
  a real difference in life when you can
• 1:25
  actually get a little bit better than you
• 1:29
  were before.
• 1:29
  I know sometimes people are saying to me,
• 1:31
  you know, John, this doesn't make sense.
• 1:35
  But the truth of the matter is it
• 1:39
  does make sense if you are intentional, okay?
• 1:45
  So that's an important thing, guys.
• 1:48
  You know, really, really important to understand and
• 1:52
  to know that this can help you become
• 1:55
  really, really good.
• 1:57
  But I know a lot of people out
• 1:58
  there say to me, John, you know, I
• 1:59
  don't quite get it.
• 2:00
  I don't understand, like, why something's not working.
• 2:05
  And I think that's an important thing for
• 2:07
  a lot of people, you know, to know.
• 2:11
  And so when I say, you know, we're
• 2:13
  here for you to help you become better,
• 2:16
  you know, this is a journey, right?
• 2:17
  We don't do this all overnight.
• 2:19
  And like I said, if you're coming back
• 2:20
  here, I do want to thank you very
• 2:22
  much.
• 2:22
  And of course, I want to say welcome
• 2:24
  back.
• 2:24
  It's always great to have people here that
• 2:26
  really appreciate the quality and content that I
• 2:30
  produce here.
• 2:30
  So I say thank you to all of
• 2:32
  you, again, from the bottom of my heart.
• 2:35
  We put on some amazing shows and amazing
• 2:37
  content here for you guys so that you
• 2:40
  can take this information and you can become
• 2:42
  better, right?
• 2:43
  You can become better every single day of
• 2:46
  your life.
• 2:47
  The show is based around motivational topics.
• 2:51
  For those of you who don't know, I
• 2:52
  just became an author not too long ago,
• 2:55
  actually, the 17th of April.
• 2:59
  So yeah, lots of great stuff happening there
• 3:01
  in my book.
• 3:02
  It's called Drained to Driven.
• 3:04
  And so again, I am really, really grateful
• 3:07
  for everyone here that has, you know, been
• 3:10
  supporting me and doing all this great stuff.
• 3:12
  I really, really do appreciate that, guys.
• 3:15
  Really appreciate that from the bottom of my
• 3:18
  heart.
• 3:19
  So guys, I want to take the opportunity
• 3:21
  again to say thank you and welcome.
• 3:22
  If you want to check out all of
• 3:23
  my great content, you can always go to
• 3:25
  BelieveMeAchieve.com for more of my amazing, inspiring
• 3:29
  creations, which you can do, incidentally, guys, 24
• 3:32
  hours a day, seven days a week, 365
• 3:35
  days of the year.
• 3:37
  Yes.
• 3:38
  Great to be with you.
• 3:40
  So every, basically it's every Saturday, we start
• 3:45
  a brand new master topic, and then we
• 3:47
  finish up on the week on a Friday.
• 3:50
  So we go Saturday to Friday.
• 3:51
  That's kind of, that's how we work.
• 3:53
  And so, you know, each day I have
• 3:59
  a granular topic, which is based on the
• 4:00
  master topic of the week, which we'll get
• 4:02
  into in just a second.
• 4:02
  But again, thanks everyone.
• 4:04
  If you're thirsty, if you're hungry, feel free
• 4:05
  to go grab that.
• 4:06
  I don't want anybody to be parched or,
• 4:09
  you know, hungry while they're here.
• 4:11
  So definitely go grab whatever you need to
• 4:12
  and come on back to the show.
• 4:15
  So ladies and gentlemen, this is Inspirations for
• 4:17
  Your Life, in case you did not know,
• 4:20
  you are on the Inspirations for Your Life
• 4:21
  channel.
• 4:22
  This is series five.
• 4:23
  It is show 19, guys.
• 4:25
  It is episode six, and it's actually a
• 4:30
  series five, show 19, excuse me, episode six,
• 4:33
  When Stability Returns.
• 4:35
  By the way, I'm John C.
• 4:36
  Morley, serial entrepreneur, engineer, marketing specialist, video producer,
• 4:41
  podcast host, coach, keynote speaker, graduate student, passionate
• 4:46
  lifelong learner.
• 4:48
  And yes, now I'm very grateful to be
• 4:50
  a published author.
• 4:52
  Yes, it is so great to be here
• 4:54
  with all of you and welcome.
• 4:56
  Thank you so much for choosing to be
• 4:57
  with me again on another Inspirations for Your
• 5:00
  Life show.
• 5:00
  So ladies and gentlemen, stability does not arrive
• 5:04
  suddenly.
• 5:04
  It's built through system or systems alignment, the
• 5:09
  behavior consistency, and internal control, returning step by
• 5:13
  step.
• 5:13
  Now, when disruption fades, structure begins to rebuild.
• 5:18
  Yeah.
• 5:18
  A lot of you say to me, oh,
• 5:19
  John, you know, this isn't working the way
• 5:21
  I want.
• 5:22
  And the reason that's happening is because you
• 5:24
  are getting stuck, okay?
• 5:26
  It's okay to get stuck, but we have
• 5:28
  to get ourselves unstuck, right?
• 5:30
  You ever had your car get stuck in
• 5:31
  the mud or stuck in the sand or
• 5:33
  stuck somewhere?
• 5:34
  It's okay that it happens, but we have
• 5:36
  to learn to become better so that doesn't
• 5:39
  happen next time.
• 5:40
  I think that's the really big key.
• 5:42
  So number one, guys, systems become reliable.
• 5:46
  Things stop breaking and start functioning again.
• 5:50
  I think that's a big important point.
• 5:52
  And number two, guys, thinking becomes clear, okay?
• 5:55
  Mental noise reduces and logic, well, it just
• 5:58
  sort of returns.
• 5:59
  And I think that's an important piece.
• 6:02
  Number three, emotions stabilize, and reactions settle, and
• 6:06
  balance returns, it returns.
• 6:10
  So that's something, again, that a lot of
• 6:12
  people don't really understand.
• 6:14
  They think it's going to happen like now,
• 6:16
  and they've got to do everything like right
• 6:17
  this moment.
• 6:18
  But the trick is that it's about being
• 6:22
  observant and about noticing the changes.
• 6:24
  All of them subtle.
• 6:26
  And these subtle changes will actually improve the
• 6:29
  quality of your life and the quality of
• 6:30
  other people's lives every single day.
• 6:34
  All right, guys, number four.
• 6:35
  Number four is decisions improve, and choices become
• 6:39
  faster, and they become more accurate, okay?
• 6:43
  They don't just become easier.
• 6:46
  You get more into a groove or a
• 6:47
  flow.
• 6:48
  And when you get into a rhythm, well,
• 6:50
  things just naturally flow, kind of like a
• 6:53
  river flows down a bank, right?
• 6:55
  Number five, behavior becomes consistent.
• 6:58
  Actions stop fluctuating.
• 7:00
  When you're consistent, you can get things to
• 7:02
  be on a certain plane.
• 7:05
  And when things are consistent, and they can
• 7:07
  be repeated, you can do a lot of
• 7:09
  stuff, guys.
• 7:09
  You can just keep doing things over and
• 7:11
  over and over again.
• 7:12
  And I think that is very important for
• 7:14
  a lot of people to realize that concept.
• 7:18
  Number six, guys, structure holds firm.
• 7:21
  Daily systems stop collapsing, okay?
• 7:24
  They stop collapsing.
• 7:25
  Focus becomes natural.
• 7:27
  Attention no longer feels forced, no longer forced.
• 7:31
  Number eight, execution smooths out.
• 7:36
  Tasks flow instead of resisting, okay?
• 7:41
  Number nine, growth becomes steady.
• 7:47
  Growth becomes steady.
• 7:50
  And progress, ladies and gentlemen, stops spiking.
• 7:54
  And it stabilizes for us.
• 7:56
  It stabilizes.
• 7:57
  And so when things stabilize, you know, we
• 8:00
  get the sense of calm.
• 8:01
  We get the sense of now being in
• 8:03
  control, not out of control, but in control.
• 8:08
  Number 10, energy becomes balanced.
• 8:12
  No more extremes, just control, right?
• 8:15
  Number 11, confidence stabilizes, and the belief becomes
• 8:19
  consistent through the repetition, through the repetition.
• 8:24
  That's an important point, guys.
• 8:25
  That's an important point.
• 8:26
  So number 12, discipline becomes automatic.
• 8:30
  Structure replaces the effort.
• 8:33
  Structure, not the fact that you're putting in
• 8:36
  more effort.
• 8:37
  The structure is what replaces it, okay?
• 8:39
  The structure is what replaces it.
• 8:41
  And I think that's an important point that
• 8:43
  many people forget, is the structure is what
• 8:46
  allows speed to happen.
• 8:48
  When you do things more intentionally, you will
• 8:52
  find that you're going to not make mistakes.
• 8:56
  You're going to be doing things the right
• 8:58
  way the first time.
• 9:00
  Number 13, guys, identity aligns who you are,
• 9:04
  and it matches what you do.
• 9:06
  Now, you might not get it right the
• 9:08
  first time, and it's perfectly okay to get
• 9:10
  it wrong the first time.
• 9:11
  Nothing, nothing wrong with that.
• 9:14
  I think these are important things for us
• 9:17
  to understand and to realize.
• 9:21
  Number 14, habits reinforce success.
• 9:26
  Repetition strengthens positive behavior, okay?
• 9:30
  Repetition gives us confidence, gives us a knowing,
• 9:34
  and now we can go ahead and just
• 9:36
  do something.
• 9:37
  So I think that's an important piece.
• 9:38
  Number 15, results become predictable, yeah, and outcomes
• 9:44
  stop feeling random, right?
• 9:46
  You're doing something for the right reason.
• 9:48
  Number 16, control strengthens, and external chaos has
• 9:53
  less impact now.
• 9:55
  I think when it has less impact, we're
• 9:57
  like, wait, it doesn't feel like it's overwhelming
• 10:00
  me anymore.
• 10:00
  But I know how a lot of people
• 10:02
  will say, you know, John, this is hard.
• 10:05
  I don't necessarily get this.
• 10:06
  And it's not that you don't get it.
• 10:08
  It's that you're scared about taking the next
• 10:10
  step.
• 10:12
  You know, the next step could be very
• 10:13
  daunting for a lot of people, right?
• 10:16
  I think that's a very important thing.
• 10:20
  When it becomes daunting, it's like, oh my
• 10:22
  gosh, what am I supposed to do?
• 10:24
  It's not the time to freak out, guys,
• 10:26
  not the time to freak out.
• 10:27
  It's the time to take a breath.
• 10:29
  It's the time to step back, okay?
• 10:31
  That's important, okay?
• 10:33
  That's important.
• 10:34
  Number 17, direction stabilizes, and you know where
• 10:38
  you are going.
• 10:40
  But sometimes, we're second-guessing ourselves, okay?
• 10:46
  And second-guessing ourselves can lead us into
• 10:49
  more challenges because we undo the confidence that
• 10:53
  we already built.
• 10:54
  So direction stabilizes, and you'll know when you're
• 10:56
  going, okay, when that happens.
• 10:59
  But don't expect it to happen like in
• 11:02
  the blink of an eye.
• 11:03
  Don't expect that.
• 11:04
  Number 18, clarity becomes constant.
• 11:07
  Understanding no longer comes in waves, no longer
• 11:12
  in waves.
• 11:14
  It comes because now we understand, now we
• 11:18
  know the way, okay?
• 11:21
  Now we know the way, and I think
• 11:27
  that's important.
• 11:30
  And some people say to me, you know,
• 11:34
  John, I don't get this.
• 11:36
  But then they panic when they can't get
• 11:38
  what they want because they feel out of
• 11:42
  control.
• 11:43
  They feel out of control.
• 11:45
  And being out of control, I think, is
• 11:47
  something that's very, very important.
• 12:00
  And I think sometimes people will say, you
• 12:03
  know, this isn't the right thing.
• 12:06
  But it's the way of doing things over
• 12:08
  and over again, right?
• 12:09
  The way of doing things over and over
• 12:11
  again.
• 12:11
  And that way, I think, makes people more
• 12:15
  in tune, more in alignment.
• 12:18
  Number 19, guys, momentum holds and progress continues
• 12:22
  without us restarting, without us going back to
• 12:25
  the drawing board.
• 12:26
  I mean, yes, we could go back there,
• 12:28
  but we don't need to go back to
• 12:29
  the drawing board because why?
• 12:32
  We know enough.
• 12:33
  We know enough to be confident to keep
• 12:36
  moving forward.
• 12:37
  I think that's a hard thing for a
• 12:38
  lot of people to grasp.
• 12:41
  But when you get a little bit of
• 12:42
  confidence, it's easy to get more confidence, okay?
• 12:46
  The mistake is a lot of people say,
• 12:47
  oh, my gosh.
• 13:01
  And I think that's important to understand, all
• 13:08
  right?
• 13:08
  That's important to understand.
• 13:10
  Number 20, progress becomes sustainable.
• 13:15
  Growth no longer burns out.
• 13:18
  We feel like we have energy.
• 13:20
  We feel like we're not, like, burning the
• 13:22
  candle at both ends.
• 13:23
  I'm sure you've probably heard that analogy before.
• 13:26
  And it's not meant to confuse you, okay?
• 13:31
  It's not meant to confuse you.
• 13:33
  What it is meant to do is it's
• 13:35
  meant to get you to realize one thing,
• 13:44
  okay?
• 13:52
  And I think that's hard for a lot
• 13:54
  of people to realize.
• 13:58
  But the more they work at it, the
• 14:01
  more they become better at it over time.
• 14:04
  And I think that's something that a lot
• 14:06
  of people say to me, you know what?
• 14:08
  I think I know where I'm going, but
• 14:09
  then you know what?
• 14:10
  I don't know where I'm going.
• 14:12
  And it's not to get you confused, guys.
• 14:18
  It's because what you're doing is something that
• 14:25
  you're uncomfortable with.
• 14:26
  And I've said we've got to practice getting
• 14:28
  comfortable being uncomfortable.
• 14:31
  That's the truth, guys.
• 14:32
  Number 21, fear decreases.
• 14:35
  Uncertainty loses its influence.
• 14:37
  And I think that's an important thing for
• 14:38
  a lot of people.
• 14:39
  When that fear reduces because of now us
• 14:44
  knowing our path, that's pretty remarkable, guys.
• 14:47
  Number 22, awareness increases and you see systems
• 14:51
  instead of events.
• 14:53
  And systems make things easier.
• 14:55
  They make things more practical.
• 14:58
  But sometimes, guys, we get stuck on what
• 15:03
  that practicality is.
• 15:04
  And we find ourselves going through this very
• 15:06
  long thing.
• 15:09
  And the long thing is that most people
• 15:13
  feel that everything's going to happen like in
• 15:15
  day one.
• 15:16
  And when it doesn't happen in day one,
• 15:18
  they're like, oh my gosh, what am I
• 15:20
  supposed to do, right?
• 15:21
  How am I going to handle this?
• 15:23
  And I think that's an important thing for
• 15:27
  a lot of people to realize is how
• 15:31
  do we actually do this?
• 15:33
  Number 23.
• 15:35
  Number 23.
• 15:36
  Number 23 is all about stability, OK?
• 15:40
  And I can tell you stability becomes lifestyle.
• 15:44
  Structure becomes normal, OK?
• 15:47
  And that's important, OK?
• 15:49
  That's a very, very important thing for us
• 15:51
  to realize.
• 15:54
  Doing replaces the thinking.
• 15:57
  Doing replaces the thinking.
• 15:59
  And when we do, OK, we can do
• 16:05
  a lot of stuff, guys, OK?
• 16:07
  We can do a lot, a lot of
• 16:08
  stuff.
• 16:09
  But I think sometimes people, you know, they
• 16:12
  get stuck in that moment, right?
• 16:15
  They get stuck in what's happening.
• 16:16
  Number 25, guys.
• 16:19
  Systems run smoothly, less friction in the daily
• 16:24
  operation.
• 16:26
  And again, that might sound crazy, but I'm
• 16:29
  here to tell you that it's not crazy,
• 16:37
  OK?
• 16:38
  And maybe you're saying to me, John, like,
• 16:39
  I'm not getting this, OK?
• 16:43
  Be aware of your surrounding and things will
• 16:45
  get easier for you.
• 16:46
  I promise you that.
• 16:53
  Number 26.
• 16:55
  Growth becomes consistent and there's no more stop
• 16:58
  and starts.
• 16:58
  The more that we stop, the more that
• 16:59
  we start, the more that things don't go
• 17:02
  the way we want them to go, OK?
• 17:05
  I think that's an important piece, right, important
• 17:09
  piece about growth.
• 17:13
  Number 27, guys.
• 17:14
  Focus becomes the default and attention stays where
• 17:17
  it should be, where it should be because
• 17:20
  it falls into an alignment pattern, all right?
• 17:23
  It falls into an alignment pattern.
• 17:26
  And I think that's an important thing to
• 17:29
  realize.
• 17:30
  Number 28.
• 17:32
  Success becomes repeatable.
• 17:34
  Outcomes can be reached over and over and
• 17:36
  over again.
• 17:37
  Number 29.
• 17:38
  Stability locks in, no longer temporary, OK?
• 17:45
  No longer temporary.
• 17:47
  Number 30, guys.
• 17:48
  Number 30 is control becomes internal.
• 17:52
  Control becomes internal and mastery shifts inwards toward
• 17:56
  us, OK?
• 17:58
  But again, this does not happen in five
• 18:00
  minutes, guys.
• 18:02
  It takes time for us to acclimate and
• 18:05
  we've got to practice getting comfortable, guys, being
• 18:07
  uncomfortable.
• 18:09
  I think a lot of people don't like
• 18:11
  that.
• 18:11
  They don't like to be uncomfortable.
• 18:13
  They always want to be comfortable.
• 18:14
  So they're always going to be complaining.
• 18:16
  They're always going to be like, oh my
• 18:17
  gosh, what am I doing?
• 18:18
  They're like putting more panic in themselves.
• 18:21
  And I think that happens for a lot
• 18:24
  of people, you know?
• 18:27
  When I think about stability returning, I could
• 18:33
  talk about breaking my TIB and FIB.
• 18:36
  When I broke it, it was like, what
• 18:42
  am I going to do now, right?
• 18:44
  That was the question that was going through
• 18:46
  my head.
• 18:46
  What am I going to do now?
• 18:49
  What am I going to do now?
• 18:54
  And that's a hard thing to digest.
• 19:01
  I said I've just got to take everything
• 19:03
  day by day by day, day
• 19:13
  by day by day by day.
• 19:17
  It's important, guys, very important to know that,
• 19:21
  to know what that stands for, and to
• 19:24
  be able to move from a point of
• 19:27
  being incapacitated, not able to walk, to now
• 19:30
  moving to a different plane, a different plane,
• 19:34
  a different insight, a different insight.
• 19:41
  That's important, guys, a different insight.
• 19:45
  And from that insight, I was able to
• 19:46
  change things around.
• 19:48
  I was able to figure out where I
• 19:50
  was going.
• 19:51
  I was able to slowly rebuild not just
• 19:54
  my leg, guys, but my entire life.
• 19:58
  My book talks about that.
• 19:59
  But to share this with you, it comes
• 20:02
  down to the fact that we need to
• 20:04
  be resilient all the time, OK?
• 20:09
  We need to be resilient.
• 20:13
  And I think a lot of you are
• 20:15
  saying to me, John, I don't know how
• 20:16
  to do that.
• 20:18
  And the best way to be resilient is
• 20:20
  to do it when you need to be.
• 20:21
  Can you prepare to be resilient?
• 20:25
  You can, but when the situation has arisen
• 20:30
  and you have to be resilient, you rise
• 20:34
  to the occasion, right?
• 20:36
  Now, maybe you make some mistakes.
• 20:39
  But my leg, I didn't know what, my
• 20:42
  tib and fib, I didn't know what to
• 20:43
  expect.
• 20:44
  All I knew is that it was not
• 20:46
  going to be easy for me.
• 20:48
  That was a given.
• 20:50
  When I thought about the fact of having
• 20:52
  to get dressed every morning, move from a
• 20:55
  shower to a sponge bath, that was hard,
• 21:00
  OK?
• 21:02
  That was hard.
• 21:04
  That was absolutely very, very hard.
• 21:07
  And I say that to you because that's
• 21:11
  the key.
• 21:13
  We might not know how to be resilient.
• 21:16
  But what we can do is we can
• 21:19
  experience resilience from what's going on in our
• 21:23
  lives, OK?
• 21:25
  And what goes on in our lives may
• 21:28
  seem hard or confusing, just like a puzzle
• 21:33
  with a million pieces.
• 21:34
  Once we figure out where something goes and
• 21:37
  we get a, let's say, a set of
• 21:40
  bearings of where we are, moving forward does
• 21:44
  not seem so impossible.
• 21:47
  But I think we try to master the
• 21:49
  entire puzzle in one day.
• 21:50
  And we try to do that.
• 21:51
  Guess what happens, guys?
• 21:52
  We get frustrated.
• 21:53
  We don't want to do puzzles anymore.
• 21:54
  We work from the corner.
• 21:55
  We work from different pieces we know.
• 21:57
  We work with what we have.
• 21:59
  And then we build it from there.
• 22:02
  And that's not the easiest thing, guys, I
• 22:03
  got to tell you.
• 22:06
  Breaking a tib and fib was not easy
• 22:08
  to recover from.
• 22:09
  I was very blessed from my creator that
• 22:12
  I was spared from any of the discomfort
• 22:14
  and pain.
• 22:15
  The discomfort I had was more emotional.
• 22:17
  It also was the fact that I could
• 22:18
  not walk.
• 22:21
  But I was spared from all pain.
• 22:23
  So I was very grateful for that.
• 22:24
  The moment I broke the tib and fib,
• 22:26
  it was like this adrenaline kicked in that
• 22:30
  blocked all the pain in my leg.
• 22:33
  That was amazing how that happened.
• 22:36
  So ladies and gentlemen, I want to let
• 22:38
  you know something.
• 22:38
  Stability is not luck.
• 22:40
  It is a structure that is finally aligned.
• 22:44
  And if it doesn't align the first time,
• 22:46
  it might take a few times, but that's
• 22:47
  OK.
• 22:48
  When systems, behavior, and identity align, control stops.
• 22:53
  Let me say that again.
• 22:55
  When systems, behavior, and identity align, control stops.
• 22:59
  It stops being external.
• 23:00
  And it becomes internal.
• 23:02
  And that is when life stops reacting and
• 23:05
  starts functioning with pure intention, pure intention, pure
• 23:14
  intention.
• 23:18
  So when the systems, behavior, and the identity
• 23:20
  align, the control stops being external.
• 23:25
  It becomes part of who you are.
• 23:30
  As I think about this and I reflect,
• 23:36
  would I have done anything different as far
• 23:44
  as the broken tib and fib?
• 23:46
  I don't think the way I recovered could
• 23:51
  have been done any different.
• 23:51
  I thought it got done pretty well.
• 23:54
  There was some trials and tribulations, but I
• 23:55
  thought it went pretty well.
• 23:58
  Obviously, the thing would have been not to
• 23:59
  break my tib and fib.
• 24:00
  And it all happened because the grandfather of
• 24:04
  Hunter Mountain decided to give the resort away
• 24:06
  to his grandkids.
• 24:08
  They didn't know anything about business, money, skiing,
• 24:12
  resorts, hospitality.
• 24:13
  They went from a five-star to a
• 24:15
  negative five-star, and now they got sold.
• 24:17
  I think they sold the peak resorts or
• 24:18
  something.
• 24:19
  That's what he should have done in the
• 24:20
  first place.
• 24:21
  He should have never tried to give it
• 24:22
  to his grandkids because they didn't know anything.
• 24:26
  Sell it and give them the money.
• 24:28
  He said he had so many things that
• 24:30
  weekend.
• 24:31
  There was a little less than 1,000
• 24:33
  people that went to the emergency room that
• 24:35
  weekend.
• 24:35
  Myself and one other person didn't have surgery.
• 24:38
  If you want to know more about why
• 24:39
  I didn't have surgery, read the book.
• 24:41
  But I can tell you this.
• 24:43
  I had to fight to not have surgery.
• 24:49
  There's a saying that goes, don't take my
• 24:53
  kindness for weakness.
• 24:55
  And I want to turn this around and
• 24:57
  tell you, don't take the weakness that I
• 25:03
  appear to have as license to go against
• 25:09
  me.
• 25:12
  I think that's a very important thing that
• 25:16
  a lot of people just don't seem to
• 25:18
  realize.
• 25:19
  They don't seem to understand that.
• 25:21
  It was personal for me.
• 25:23
  It was very personal.
• 25:25
  And that personal moment said to me, John,
• 25:27
  you're going to get through this.
• 25:29
  Of course, with the grace of God and
• 25:31
  our Lord, I did.
• 25:32
  But it was not easy.
• 25:35
  It wasn't easy, guys.
• 25:37
  It was not easy.
• 25:39
  Not painful, but it was just different.
• 25:43
  It's the best way I can explain it
• 25:44
  to you guys.
• 25:45
  It was different.
• 25:48
  Have you ever had to do something whereby
• 25:50
  you knew you had to do it, you
• 25:52
  weren't crazy about it, but you did it
• 25:54
  because you knew if you got through this,
• 25:56
  you'd be able to do other things you
• 25:57
  wanted to do?
• 25:59
  I knew that I couldn't go anywhere in
• 26:01
  life without getting my leg healed.
• 26:06
  That was a given.
• 26:10
  And so I had to have self-control.
• 26:19
  I had to have self-control.
• 26:22
  And that's an important thing.
• 26:24
  But sometimes we want to give up.
• 26:26
  We want to move faster because we think
• 26:30
  that our self-control will just happen.
• 26:35
  It doesn't.
• 26:38
  Does it come from motivation?
• 26:40
  It can start there.
• 26:42
  But it really has to come from discipline,
• 26:44
  which comes from your core values.
• 26:47
  Comes from your core values.
• 26:49
  So motivation is great, but it's the discipline
• 26:51
  that gets us on track to be where
• 26:53
  we want to be.
• 26:56
  The discipline keeps the motivation rolling.
• 27:00
  The discipline keeps the motivation rolling.
• 27:02
  I think that's a very important thing to
• 27:05
  understand.
• 27:08
  It's the discipline that does it, not the
• 27:11
  motivation, guys.
• 27:12
  The motivation will wane sometimes.

  you can start the trip, you have to
