- 0:04Speaker 1: are successful and you're not. That's it's dangerous.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Like life itself, is a process of becoming a part
- 0:13Speaker 2: of man's ongoing historical drive to manifest his consciousness outside
- 0:19Speaker 2: of his mind, in front of his eyes.
- 0:22Speaker 3: Listen to me.

- 0:49Speaker 5: Everybody agree, You got to be completely uncertain.
- 0:52Speaker 1: You want a million dollars, you want two million dollars,
- 0:53Speaker 1: you want five million dollars. How much money do you want?
- 0:56Speaker 1: How much success do you want?
- 0:57Speaker 5: How much notoriety do you want?

- 1:00Speaker 4: Why can't you have everything?
- 1:01Speaker 5: Oh but I'm sixty five?
- 1:02Speaker 6: So what man?
- 1:04Speaker 2: Colonel halland Sanders made all his money after you.
- 1:06Speaker 4: Was sixty five years old.
- 1:08Speaker 2: He wasted the first sixty four years.
- 1:11Speaker 6: I wish I could tell you seventy percent is enough,
- 1:15Speaker 6: but it's.
- 1:15Speaker 5: Not gonna happen. So I need you to understand something.
- 1:17Speaker 6: You can have it if you want it.
- 1:19Speaker 4: But the bigger the dream, they're harder to drive. We
- 1:23Speaker 4: didn't grow up with the sense that where we were
- 1:27Speaker 4: was where we were.
- 1:28Speaker 5: Going to be, you know.
- 1:29Speaker 4: We grew up with the sense that where we were
- 1:32Speaker 4: almost didn't matter because.
- 1:35Speaker 5: We were becoming.
- 1:36Speaker 4: We were becoming something great.
- 1:40Speaker 7: Changing is not easy, but changing your life, changing habits,
- 1:46Speaker 7: reinventing yourself, picking yourself up after life has knocked you
- 1:50Speaker 7: flat on your back. I've got to say, when life
- 1:53Speaker 7: knocked you down, trying to play it on your.
- 1:55Speaker 6: Back, because if you could look up, you could get up.
- 1:58Speaker 5: Well.
- 1:58Speaker 1: I think the one thing that discipline definitely does help
- 2:01Speaker 1: you with is it helps you get things done. And
- 2:05Speaker 1: when you get things done, when you actually do things,
- 2:09Speaker 1: you have more success. If you have more success, and
- 2:13Speaker 1: sometimes a big part of success is just not being
- 2:16Speaker 1: alazy and just doing it.
- 2:19Speaker 3: Whenever things don't go to plan, whenever life throws us
- 2:23Speaker 3: challenges and hardship, there's always a hidden blessing and always.
- 2:29Speaker 2: A strong lesson.
- 2:30Speaker 6: If you want life to change, you got to change.
- 2:34Speaker 6: If you want life to be better. You've got to
- 2:36Speaker 6: get better.
- 2:37Speaker 5: It's the only happens.
- 2:39Speaker 6: And luck will show up for people and to leave them.
- 2:41Speaker 6: But if you're constantly improving who you are and what
- 2:44Speaker 6: you give, game over.
- 2:46Speaker 3: So that means you understand that at times you will
- 2:49Speaker 3: feel home, at times you will not be comfortable, at
- 2:52Speaker 3: times you will mentally hurt, at times you will be
- 2:56Speaker 3: physically exhausted. But it's those times that will catapult you
- 3:01Speaker 3: to hype you never thought you would see you. It's
- 3:03Speaker 3: those times that will propel you to successes you never
- 3:06Speaker 3: thought you could achieve. You It's those times that will
- 3:09Speaker 3: launch you into a stratosphere.
- 3:11Speaker 1: That only few ever reach.
- 3:13Speaker 3: It's those times that will thrust you into an orbit
- 3:16Speaker 3: that most will deem impossible.
- 3:21Speaker 8: What I recognize now is that my choice to it
- 3:26Speaker 8: every way, in every example, in every experience, to do
- 3:32Speaker 8: the right thing.
- 3:49Speaker 9: Success at anything will always come down to this focus
- 3:55Speaker 9: and effort, and we control both.
- 3:59Speaker 5: Remember this is the grime, the battle royale between you
- 4:02Speaker 5: and your mind, your body, and the devil on your shoulder.
- 4:05Speaker 5: Is telling you, but this is just a game, This
- 4:07Speaker 5: is just a waste of time. Your opponents are stronger
- 4:09Speaker 5: than you.
- 4:11Speaker 10: I tell you all the time, like, don't just come
- 4:13Speaker 10: up with things you want to learn, because that's why
- 4:14Speaker 10: we want to learn everything by human build we are
- 4:17Speaker 10: curious animals.
- 4:19Speaker 9: We're deathly curious.
- 4:20Speaker 10: I mean we are literally the curiosity killed the Cat's
- 4:23Speaker 10: a sort of society right now. Everyone wants to learn
- 4:26Speaker 10: fifty new things immediately, but no one ever learns anything.
- 4:29Speaker 10: Why because it's not real for them. It's a transiate desire.
- 4:41Speaker 9: And that's it. That's the secret.
- 4:43Speaker 10: If you really want to do something in your life,
- 4:44Speaker 10: if you really want to be great, if you want
- 4:47Speaker 10: to smash it, if you want to be remembered, the key.
- 4:51Speaker 9: Is to acquire as many skills as you can because
- 4:54Speaker 9: everything that you bring into your world gives you an
- 4:56Speaker 9: exponentially greater chance of winning, of doing the thing.
- 5:00Speaker 1: That you want to do.
- 5:01Speaker 9: But you have to be totally focused and committed on
- 5:04Speaker 9: gaining those skills.
- 5:09Speaker 11: How much time do you have left? How much time
- 5:13Speaker 11: do you have left when you stop thinking about that?
- 5:15Speaker 4: We don't know.
- 5:17Speaker 11: Most of us don't use the stuff that we have
- 5:19Speaker 11: brought into the universe. Stop wasting valuable time. If you
- 5:25Speaker 11: want something, you have got to be with leckless.
- 5:36Speaker 10: You have to know what you want of your life
- 5:38Speaker 10: before you become a master learner. Until I know what
- 5:41Speaker 10: I want my life to be about, what I want
- 5:43Speaker 10: to experience on a daily basis, What do I want
- 5:45Speaker 10: my dreams to be? Who I want to be.
- 5:47Speaker 9: I don't know what to learn.
- 5:50Speaker 10: I'm just gonna be curious about things and I'll dabble
- 5:53Speaker 10: in them. But that paths are real. True mastery is
- 5:56Speaker 10: that part of where we say, Okay, what I want
- 5:58Speaker 10: my life to be about. Now, let me develop the knowledge,
- 6:01Speaker 10: the skills, the competencies, the capabilities to build into that life.
- 6:06Speaker 11: You've got to learn how to become it's sauceful. You've
- 6:09Speaker 11: got to learn how to become creative. The power to
- 6:13Speaker 11: hold on in spite of everything, the power to endure.
- 6:17Speaker 11: This is the winner's qualums, the home of the ability
- 6:21Speaker 11: to face defeat again and again without giving up.
- 6:27Speaker 9: On the other side of endurance, on the other side
- 6:31Speaker 9: of out lasting everybody else, is a skill set that
- 6:36Speaker 9: makes you unstoppable.
- 6:40Speaker 12: We bought into this, this complete falsehood that at some
- 6:45Speaker 12: point you're gonna have the courage, at some point you're
- 6:48Speaker 12: going to have the confidence, and it's total bullshit. Frankly,
- 6:51Speaker 12: are we allowed to swear on So okay, it's it's
- 6:54Speaker 12: complete garbage. And so there are so many people in
- 6:57Speaker 12: the world, and and and you know, you may be
- 6:59Speaker 12: watching this right now and you have these incredible ideas,
- 7:04Speaker 12: and what you think is missing is motivation. And that's
- 7:07Speaker 12: not true because the way that our minds are wired
- 7:10Speaker 12: and the fact about human beings is that we are
- 7:13Speaker 12: not designed to do things that are uncomfortable or scary
- 7:18Speaker 12: or difficult. Our brains are designed to protect us from
- 7:22Speaker 12: those things, because our brains are trying to keep us alive.
- 7:25Speaker 12: And in order to change, in order to build a business,
- 7:28Speaker 12: in order to be the best parent, the best spouse,
- 7:31Speaker 12: to do all those things that you know you want
- 7:33Speaker 12: to do with your life, with your work, with your dreams,
- 7:37Speaker 12: you're going to have to do things that are difficult, uncertain,
- 7:40Speaker 12: or scary, which sets up this problem for.
- 7:43Speaker 9: All of us.
- 7:44Speaker 12: You're never going to feel like it Motivation's garbage. You
- 7:47Speaker 12: only feel motivated to do the things that are easy.
- 7:52Speaker 7: Right.
- 7:52Speaker 2: What do you think that is?
- 7:54Speaker 7: Oh?
- 7:54Speaker 12: I know exactly why that is because I've studied this
- 7:58Speaker 12: so much. Because for me, one of the hardest things
- 8:00Speaker 12: to figure out was why is it so hard to
- 8:05Speaker 12: do the little things that would improve my life. And
- 8:10Speaker 12: what I've come to realize, and what we'll talk a
- 8:12Speaker 12: lot about today, is that the way that our minds
- 8:15Speaker 12: are designed is our minds are designed to stop you,
- 8:20Speaker 12: at all costs from doing anything that might hurt you.
- 8:25Speaker 12: And they that this all happens is it all starts
- 8:30Speaker 12: with something super subtle that none of us ever catch,
- 8:34Speaker 12: and that is with this habit that all of us
- 8:37Speaker 12: have that nobody's talking about. We all have a habit
- 8:41Speaker 12: of hesitating. We have an idea, You're sitting in a meeting,
- 8:46Speaker 12: you have this incredible idea, and instead of just you know,
- 8:50Speaker 12: saying it, you stop and you hesitate. Now, what none
- 8:54Speaker 12: of us realize is that when you hesitate, just that moment,
- 8:56Speaker 12: that micro moment, that small hesitation, it's sends a stress
- 9:00Speaker 12: signal to your brain. It wakes your brain up, and
- 9:03Speaker 12: your brain all of a sudden goes, oh, wait a minute,
- 9:05Speaker 12: why is he hesitating. He didn't hesitate when he put
- 9:07Speaker 12: on his killer spiky sneakers. He didn't hesitate with the
- 9:10Speaker 12: really cool track pants. He didn't hesitate with an asset
- 9:13Speaker 12: T shirt. Now he's hesitating to talk. Something must be
- 9:15Speaker 12: up so then your brain goes to work to protect you.
- 9:18Speaker 12: It has a million different ways to protect you. One
- 9:21Speaker 12: of them is called the spotlight effect. It's a known
- 9:23Speaker 12: phenomenon where your brain magnifies risk why to pull you
- 9:27Speaker 12: away from something that it perceives to be a problem.
- 9:30Speaker 12: And so you can truly trace every single problem or
- 9:36Speaker 12: complaint in your life to silence and hesitation. Those are
- 9:40Speaker 12: decisions and what I do and what's changed my life
- 9:44Speaker 12: is waking up and realizing that motivations garbage. I'm never
- 9:47Speaker 12: going to feel like doing the things that are tough
- 9:49Speaker 12: for difficult or and certain are scary or new, So
- 9:52Speaker 12: I need to stop waiting until I feel like it.
- 9:54Speaker 12: And number two, I am one decision away from a
- 9:58Speaker 12: totally different marriage, a totally different life, a totally different job,
- 10:02Speaker 12: a totally different income, a totally different relationship with my kids.
- 10:08Speaker 12: Not like one decision I'm divorcing you in the marriage example,
- 10:12Speaker 12: but one decision on you know, you could be having
- 10:16Speaker 12: a conversation with your spouse and you feel your emotions
- 10:19Speaker 12: rise up, and within a tiny window, those emotions can
- 10:24Speaker 12: take over and can impact how your marriage goes. Or
- 10:30Speaker 12: you can learn how to take control of that micro
- 10:32Speaker 12: moment and make a decision to act in a way
- 10:36Speaker 12: that actually shifts your marriage. Your life comes down to
- 10:40Speaker 12: your decisions, and if you change your decisions, you will
- 10:43Speaker 12: change everything
