• 1:24
  Speaker 1: to do, people's lives will suffer.

  Speaker 6: And putting yourself in the game, you're giving yourself an
• 1:30
  Speaker 6: opportunity to achieve something that everybody else that was impossible.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: And there is no passion to be found playing small
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: and settling for a life that's less and nothing in life.
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: Is worthwhile unless you take risks, nothing.
• 1:45
  Speaker 6: It's not going to kill you the moment you realize
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: the next step isn't going to kill you, and that

• 2:45
  Speaker 8: You optimately end up.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: The way to improve lives is to continually improve yourself.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Good people have to get out of the bed every

  Speaker 3: day and try to empty the ocean with a soup spoon.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: You know, as the men mentality of how you wake

  Speaker 5: discipline and consistency.
• 3:24
  Speaker 7: What if I told you this was the last Monday
• 3:26
  Speaker 7: morning of your life. What if I told you died this.
• 3:29
  Speaker 9: Week, would you complain about your crap job or that test.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: You don't want to take?
• 3:33
  Speaker 7: I doubt it you would go.
• 3:35
  Speaker 9: Much higher level thinking.
• 3:37
  Speaker 7: Well, that's really what it takes. It takes understanding that
• 3:40
  Speaker 7: if you're not pumped right now, if you're begrudging what
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: you're about to do, if you're not looking forward to it. Look,
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: I respect practicality. You got to go through school because
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: your parents want to. You got to pay your rent,
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: you got student loans. I get it. But please recognize
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: the world we're living in. We're really gonna world where
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: is so much more opportunity. This Internet created way more
• 4:01
  Speaker 7: opportunity for all of us, way more. I mean, look,
• 4:04
  Speaker 7: you might not even be alive, Like your mom and
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: dad could have had sex like three minutes later and
• 4:09
  Speaker 7: you wouldn't even exist, And you're complaining you could ended
• 4:12
  Speaker 7: up being.
• 4:12
  Speaker 9: A bus Agree. I just don't get the mentality of
• 4:16
  Speaker 9: being head down sad on.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: A Monday morning.
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna make Monday morning my I'm gonna make Saturday
• 4:22
  Speaker 7: Monday morning. That's what I want to do every morning.
• 4:25
  Speaker 7: That's what I want from you.
• 4:26
  Speaker 9: Please take a step back and peak about how awesome
• 4:29
  Speaker 9: it actually is, and then recognize that you could attack
• 4:33
  Speaker 9: the world in a totally different way and you were
• 4:36
  Speaker 9: lucky enough.
• 4:36
  Speaker 10: To be more enduring this.
• 4:39
  Speaker 7: You know, take full ownership for everything, and then everything
• 4:42
  Speaker 7: gets easy because then you're in control.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: The separation of talent and skill is one.
• 4:47
  Speaker 10: Of the greatestness understood the concepts For people who are
• 4:51
  Speaker 10: trying to sell, who have dreams that want to do things,
• 4:53
  Speaker 10: talent you have, naturally, skill is only developed by hours
• 4:58
  Speaker 10: and hours and hours of feet who aren't your craft.
• 5:00
  Speaker 10: There's no easy way around it. No matter how talented
• 5:04
  Speaker 10: you are, your talent is going to fail you.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: If you're not.
• 5:07
  Speaker 10: Skilled, you know, if you don't study, if you don't
• 5:10
  Speaker 10: work really hard and dedicate yourself to being better every
• 5:13
  Speaker 10: single day.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Learn how to love to do this.
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: We all have losses, and so I like losses.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I love adversity.
• 5:21
  Speaker 9: I like the client, I like the chip on my shoulder.
• 5:24
  Speaker 11: I like what people like.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Oh I knew it, it's not that good.
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: I like adversity.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: Do you have the debts to fail?
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: You will fail at some point in your life, excepted.
• 5:34
  Speaker 8: You will lose.
• 5:35
  Speaker 9: If you will embarrass yourself, you will suck at something.
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: Embrace it because it's inevitable. You hang around the barbershop
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: long and I've seen our lady, You're going to have.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Every failed experiment is one step closer to success.
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: Thomas Edison conducted one thousand failed experiments because the one thousand.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: And first was the life board everything up to this
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: stepping out. There's actually no reason to be scared. It
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: only just ruins your day. You don't have to jump,
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: and then in that moment, all of a sudden, where
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: you should be terrified is the most blissful experience of
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: your life.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: And God placed the best things in life.
• 6:20
  Speaker 10: On the other side of terror.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: On the other side of your maximum fear, all of
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: the best things in life.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Yet I went out in the world and I carried
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: myself and I held my head high, and I stood
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: there and I look people in their eyes, and I
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: talk to people as if I was deservant. Where you
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: could be whatever you want to be, You could do
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: whatever you want to do. And I want you to
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: keep in your heart just know that you can.
• 6:49
  Speaker 8: Your behavior is what's going to change you. But you
• 6:52
  Speaker 8: also have to start by asking yourself, what do I
• 6:55
  Speaker 8: want and why do I want it? Why don't I
• 6:57
  Speaker 8: have it? You know what am I willing do to
• 7:00
  Speaker 8: get it? And I do think in terms of listening
• 7:02
  Speaker 8: to one of your earlier podcasts, I do think there's
• 7:05
  Speaker 8: value in writing things down, but in a really simple way.
• 7:10
  Speaker 8: I've learned probably the most things through the best athletes
• 7:13
  Speaker 8: in the world, and Michael Johnson, who had the gold
• 7:15
  Speaker 8: shoes I'll never forget Drew Brees were training for the
• 7:20
  Speaker 8: NFL Combine in two thousand and one. There's eighteen guys.
• 7:23
  Speaker 8: Michael just finished winning his fourth gold medal, and he
• 7:26
  Speaker 8: comes in and he's just just a badass dude. Fastest
• 7:30
  Speaker 8: man alive, the fastest man alive. At that point, he
• 7:32
  Speaker 8: had just run the forty three eighteen, you know, and
• 7:36
  Speaker 8: then when he ran the nineteen three, it was twenty
• 7:38
  Speaker 8: six miles per hour, the fastest, the fastest, fifty to
• 7:42
  Speaker 8: one fifty.
• 7:42
  Speaker 11: He ran nine to one flat.
• 7:44
  Speaker 8: So all these athletes were in awe of Michael, and
• 7:47
  Speaker 8: I think true at the time. Says, hey, man, do
• 7:49
  Speaker 8: you set goals?
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: You said?
• 7:51
  Speaker 9: Yeah?
• 7:51
  Speaker 8: He said where'd you learn?
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: So what do you mean?
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Where I learned?
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: So?
• 7:54
  Speaker 8: Where do you learn?
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: Like?
• 7:54
  Speaker 8: Do you learn in college?
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Said?
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: I learned in college?
• 7:57
  Speaker 8: He said, did you learn like smart goals? Like we're
• 7:59
  Speaker 8: smart goals, you know, and spark goals are specific, measurable, attainable,
• 8:03
  Speaker 8: realistic and with the timeframe. Michael said, when I would
• 8:06
  Speaker 8: go into safe Way, I recognize that if I walked
• 8:10
  Speaker 8: into Safeway and I wrote eight things down, I would
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: walk into safe way and I'd walk out a safe
• 8:14
  Speaker 8: Way in five minutes. If I walked into safe Way
• 8:17
  Speaker 8: and had nothing written down, I would be in there
• 8:19
  Speaker 8: for twenty minutes and I'd find myself on asle eight,
• 8:21
  Speaker 8: and I'd be anxious, and I'd be nervous, and I'd
• 8:23
  Speaker 8: be why am I looking at the weekends and the
• 8:25
  Speaker 8: ho hos when I know I don't need any of
• 8:27
  Speaker 8: those things? And he said so because I wrote it
• 8:29
  Speaker 8: down in safe way and it worked, I figured, why
• 8:32
  Speaker 8: would I be any different about my athletic career? And
• 8:35
  Speaker 8: I think that that's the level that we need to
• 8:38
  Speaker 8: educate people. I hope it takes. What it takes, basically
• 8:43
  Speaker 8: is an introduction to self help. That when I look
• 8:47
  Speaker 8: at mindfulness being the brand and headspace being a billion
• 8:53
  Speaker 8: dollar valuation, and I sit there and think at you know,
• 8:57
  Speaker 8: forty four years old and growing up on this my
• 8:59
  Speaker 8: whole life. The only time I can meditate is at
• 9:02
  Speaker 8: the end of church. It's such a challenging skill. And
• 9:05
  Speaker 8: is it important? Absolutely, it's important to our affirmation is important. Absolutely,
• 9:10
  Speaker 8: they're important. Are changing from the inside out important? Yes,
• 9:13
  Speaker 8: but they're not the starting points. Don't say stupid shit
• 9:17
  Speaker 8: out loud. Be mindful of what you consume. If I
• 9:20
  Speaker 8: watch three minutes of news that increases my probability by
• 9:22
  Speaker 8: twenty seven percent, I'm going to say I had a
• 9:24
  Speaker 8: spety day.
• 9:25
  Speaker 11: See, do you agree with me that our lives today
• 9:29
  Speaker 11: as a generation of people has become far more comfortable
• 9:34
  Speaker 11: and far more convenient simply because of our understanding of
• 9:39
  Speaker 11: science and our exploitation of that knowledge is technology. Yes,
• 9:47
  Speaker 11: we are the most comfortable generation ever in the history
• 9:50
  Speaker 11: of humanity, no question about it, isn't it? Yes, we
• 9:54
  Speaker 11: are super empowered because of the science and technology. As
• 9:59
  Speaker 11: it is a science and technology for our external well being,
• 10:03
  Speaker 11: there is a whole science and technology for inner well being. Unfortunately,
• 10:08
  Speaker 11: most cultures have ignored this and thinking that if we
• 10:12
  Speaker 11: make all the external arrangements, well, everything will be okay.
• 10:16
  Speaker 11: The United States of America is a huge statement that
• 10:21
  Speaker 11: this is not how it works. The most affluent country
• 10:26
  Speaker 11: on the planet. Seventy percent of the population are supposed
• 10:30
  Speaker 11: to be in prescription medication. Wow, what's the best way
• 10:37
  Speaker 11: for people to interact with you? They don't have to
• 10:42
  Speaker 11: interact with me because learn from me? Maybe because we
• 10:50
  Speaker 11: can talk. If inspiration is what you need, encouragement was
• 10:54
  Speaker 11: what you need. I'm willing to talk. But talks will
• 10:57
  Speaker 11: not bring solutions. They will bring some clarity. Solution will
• 11:05
  Speaker 11: come only when you take a proper inward step. That's
• 11:08
  Speaker 11: what in engineering process is. We are doing everything possible
• 11:12
  Speaker 11: to deliver it in as simple and as practical measures
• 11:16
  Speaker 11: as it can be done. There was a time it
• 11:18
  Speaker 11: was thought in such a complex way. Today we have
• 11:22
  Speaker 11: simplified it, broken into five different pieces, offering it as
• 11:26
  Speaker 11: five layers of program, so that people can experience it
• 11:30
  Speaker 11: in small doses and slowly, step by step they can go.
• 11:33
  Speaker 11: I am seeing as you come into more and more
• 11:36
  Speaker 11: affluent societies, their steps are far more baby steps than
• 11:39
  Speaker 11: other people. So we've broken it into many steps so
• 11:45
  Speaker 11: that small steps you can take one by one. I'm
• 11:48
  Speaker 11: not interested in how much somebody is doing. I'm very
• 11:53
  Speaker 11: interested in how they're doing it, because that's what changes
• 11:55
  Speaker 11: the quality of who we are. Because the content of
• 11:59
  Speaker 11: our life will not change our life. It is the
• 12:02
  Speaker 11: context of our life which changes our life. Because your
• 12:06
  Speaker 11: content you have changed, and you see people are not happy.
• 12:11
  Speaker 11: Content of our life is phenomenally enhanced compared to how
• 12:16
  Speaker 11: our grandparents lived here, isn't it even in this country?
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: Yes?
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: How can people change their context?
• 12:23
  Speaker 11: That's what in engineering is about. If your contact shifts
• 12:27
  Speaker 11: from your psychological and physiological process to the life process
• 12:31
  Speaker 11: that you are everything has changed because we must understand
• 12:36
  Speaker 11: this as we sit here. This is my body, that's
• 12:39
  Speaker 11: your body. This is my mind, that's your mind. But
• 12:41
  Speaker 11: there's no such thing as this is my life and
• 12:43
  Speaker 11: that's your life. This is a living cosmos. Everybody is
• 12:47
  Speaker 11: free to capture as much as they want. If you
• 12:50
  Speaker 11: capture substantial amount of life, your very presence will become
• 12:54
  Speaker 11: a significant life. Otherwise you will become a mediocre life.
• 12:59
  Speaker 11: This is the important thing. It's not the knowledge you
• 13:02
  Speaker 11: gather in your head. It's not the muscle that you
• 13:04
  Speaker 11: gather in your body. It's the life. How much of
• 13:08
  Speaker 11: a life are you? This will make you significant in
• 13:11
  Speaker 11: your very presence. If world gives us an opportunity, we'll
• 13:15
  Speaker 11: do something impactful. Otherwise we're just a significant presence. A
• 13:21
  Speaker 11: huge oak tree standing outside It is not trying to
• 13:25
  Speaker 11: create any impact. It is just impactful. If you go
• 13:29
  Speaker 11: under its shade, you'll feel it. Otherwise, also it's impactful.
• 13:35
  Speaker 11: Most people notice it only when it's gone.
