Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Difference between depression and joy, right, And I think.
- 0:08Speaker 2: It's purpose.
- 0:13Speaker 3: At a time of great uncertainty and a time of
- 0:17Speaker 3: change that's taking place around the world, and a time
- 0:21Speaker 3: when people are feeling a great deal of anxiety and
- 0:25Speaker 3: fear and reservations about the future, At a time when
- 0:31Speaker 3: people are going to work and don't know whether or
- 0:33Speaker 3: not they will have a job when they get off,
- 0:36Speaker 3: and not necessarily because of their performance, but because of
- 0:39Speaker 3: what's happening in the economy, at a time when there
- 0:43Speaker 3: are challenges more so than ever before in personal relationships.
- 0:48Speaker 3: We look at what's happening on the crime level, and
- 0:53Speaker 3: what's happening with our youth.
- 0:57Speaker 4: That many times, I'm sure.
- 0:58Speaker 3: That we've all taken time just to stop and reflect.
- 1:02Speaker 3: Many times when we hear what's happening in the news
- 1:04Speaker 3: or read the newspapers, where's all it is leading to you?
- 1:08Speaker 5: What's going on here?
- 1:12Speaker 6: When you are struggling with what to do? Who you are,
- 1:15Speaker 6: how's your next move? You are in an identity crisis.
- 1:19Speaker 6: You are struggling with just who you are. See, you
- 1:23Speaker 6: have not discovered who you are. You have to discover
- 1:28Speaker 6: who you are.
- 1:29Speaker 4: In order to move you forward, And so I think
- 1:35Speaker 4: that now more than ever, we must begin to look
- 1:37Speaker 4: at what are the things that we.
- 1:38Speaker 3: Can do that would put us on some firm footing
- 1:43Speaker 3: in life, that will enable us to do some things
- 1:46Speaker 3: and use some powers that we have that many of
- 1:48Speaker 3: us go through life never ever discovering that we have
- 1:51Speaker 3: those things going for us.
- 1:54Speaker 2: And part of that, I believe.
- 1:58Speaker 1: Is knowing what it is your life work.
- 2:00Speaker 3: What is it that gives your life a sense of
- 2:02Speaker 3: meaning and purpose? Because once you find that, it puts
- 2:07Speaker 3: you in your power place. See, if you know what
- 2:11Speaker 3: your life work is, I encourage you to start working
- 2:13Speaker 3: on it. If you can't do it all at one time,
- 2:16Speaker 3: do just a little bit of it. And if you
- 2:19Speaker 3: don't know what it is that you showed up to do,
- 2:22Speaker 3: if you don't know.
- 2:22Speaker 4: Why you're here, I encourage you to find out.
- 2:26Speaker 7: What your purpose is there? What is the meaning of
- 2:29Speaker 7: your life? Now?
- 2:31Speaker 5: For most people, especially when you're maturing in your career,
- 2:35Speaker 5: when you're growing up, the biggest goal is money. If
- 2:38Speaker 5: you had money, then you could buy a househome, car, family,
- 2:42Speaker 5: lifestyle and so on. So that's quite normal. For other people,
- 2:45Speaker 5: it may be a health goal. For business owners, maybe
- 2:47Speaker 5: a business goal for people with relationship problems, maybe a
- 2:51Speaker 5: relationship goal. But ask yourself if you could achieve one
- 2:55Speaker 5: goal or resolve one problem, and remember a problem unsolved,
- 3:00Speaker 5: your goal unachieved, which one would it be? And write
- 3:03Speaker 5: that down and make it that the major and definite
- 3:07Speaker 5: purpose of your life. Make it the central organizing principle
- 3:10Speaker 5: of your life.
- 3:12Speaker 8: Developing a good plan for the next ten years, especially
- 3:17Speaker 8: some of the things you want to accomplish. Let our
- 3:21Speaker 8: dreams pull us through, our objectives, sustain us, get us
- 3:26Speaker 8: up early, keep us up late, drive us to do
- 3:29Speaker 8: the disciplines, read the books, take the classes, study whatever's necessary.
- 3:33Speaker 8: If the dreams are strong enough and the purpose is
- 3:35Speaker 8: strong enough, we will pay the price. Then after we've accomplished,
- 3:39Speaker 8: here's what you'll say, small price to pay.
- 3:44Speaker 7: You've got to get a proven plan, and you've got
- 3:46Speaker 7: to take massive action. Don't even worry about a proven plan.
- 3:49Speaker 7: There are lots of role models. Hopefully they'll prove it
- 3:51Speaker 7: to you. But get a plan. Do something I tell
- 3:55Speaker 7: people all the time. You just got to remember the
- 3:57Speaker 7: power of massive action. So often life people don't begin
- 4:01Speaker 7: the journey because they're not quite sure what to do
- 4:02Speaker 7: or how to do. It right or how to do
- 4:04Speaker 7: it perfect. If you want to change your body, get
- 4:06Speaker 7: yourself moving. Don't wait for the perfect train or just
- 4:08Speaker 7: blowing out here and move. Put on your shoes and
- 4:10Speaker 7: move and get momentum. Just remember, progress equals happiness. If
- 4:16Speaker 7: you can start to make progress, if you get yourself going.
- 4:18Speaker 7: If it's not perfect, if it doesn't work, you know
- 4:20Speaker 7: what to do. You just change your approach.
- 4:22Speaker 2: That doesn't work, change your approach.
- 4:23Speaker 7: But if there's anything that'll shift your life, they'll get
- 4:26Speaker 7: you to thrive on a difficult situation is take some
- 4:28Speaker 7: massive action, try something else, change it, try it, move it.
- 4:33Speaker 2: Let your results speak for you.
- 4:36Speaker 7: Let your actions speak for you.
- 4:40Speaker 9: So take it to epenhile, stand up, strike, lift your
- 4:44Speaker 9: chin off your chest, pull your shoulders back, and start
- 4:47Speaker 9: to look in the direction of where you want to go.
- 4:50Speaker 9: Move that each.
- 4:53Speaker 10: When you get to that state. Creating results in your
- 4:56Speaker 10: area of expertise is almost effortent. It's an organic process
- 5:01Speaker 10: that comes easily to you.
- 5:04Speaker 9: Remember, the further you spiral down just means the more
- 5:07Speaker 9: growth theories on the way back out, and the stronger
- 5:09Speaker 9: you'll be.
- 5:11Speaker 1: And you're still waiting around for some kind of signal
- 5:14Speaker 1: to finally go hard and give your dreams everything you've got.
- 5:19Speaker 7: You've got to ask yourself, what's your why, what motivates you,
- 5:22Speaker 7: what pushes.
- 5:23Speaker 5: You, what rides you?
- 5:25Speaker 7: And if that thing is internal. If nobody has to
- 5:28Speaker 7: call you, if nobody has to pride you, if nobody
- 5:32Speaker 7: has to reward you, if nobody has to give you anything.
- 5:35Speaker 4: If you are self motivated and self.
- 5:37Speaker 7: Regulated, you can have it. You can be it, you
- 5:40Speaker 7: can do it.
- 5:49Speaker 4: What's your goal? What's your dream? What is it you
- 5:54Speaker 4: want to do with your life? Doctor Joel Martin said
- 5:58Speaker 4: something that I love. She said, what would the world
- 6:00Speaker 4: be like if everybody lived their dream? Here's what I
- 6:05Speaker 4: found about life, and it's not as complicated as I
- 6:08Speaker 4: used to make it. I think that life is about
- 6:11Speaker 4: dreams and stories. Everything that exists. The world at one
- 6:16Speaker 4: time was barren, but everything that exists. Hotels, plans, they
- 6:20Speaker 4: weren't here, everything that we see every day, computers, all
- 6:26Speaker 4: of the things that we see. Someone had a dream.
- 6:29Speaker 4: Someone had a dream of a person standing on stage
- 6:32Speaker 4: in their voice being amplified so they don't have to
- 6:35Speaker 4: scream and yell and could be heard by thousands. Someone
- 6:39Speaker 4: had that dream of how to transport us from one
- 6:42Speaker 4: place to the other quickly and safely. The clothes you
- 6:47Speaker 4: have on where you're now seated, Oh, came out of
- 6:51Speaker 4: somebody's dream, the world's greatest achievement. What is your dream?
- 6:55Speaker 4: I said that you have something special. I just say
- 6:58Speaker 4: that just to be kind. I said, if you because
- 7:00Speaker 4: it's true, you a God's chosen vessel. You were chosen
- 7:03Speaker 4: one out of four hundred million sperm. You have something
- 7:09Speaker 4: in you that when you were chosen, when you showed up,
- 7:12Speaker 4: There's something in you that if you don't do it,
- 7:15Speaker 4: all of us will suffer. Repeat out to me, Please
- 7:18Speaker 4: live full.
- 7:21Speaker 7: Di empty.
- 7:22Speaker 4: Let's head again, live full di empty. Doctor Harwith Thurman
- 7:28Speaker 4: one of the mentors of doctor Martin Luther King Junior,
- 7:30Speaker 4: and Avid Sweitzer and Mahabma Gandhi. It was a very
- 7:34Speaker 4: brilliant writer. He wrote some things that really grabbed me.
- 7:37Speaker 4: He wrote deep is the hunger, the voice of the genuine,
- 7:43Speaker 4: the centering moment. During the time after receiving two hundred
- 7:46Speaker 4: and thirty eight radiation seat implants, I was reflecting on
- 7:50Speaker 4: his words, and these words kept me up that night.
- 7:54Speaker 4: He said, the ideal situation for a man or woman
- 7:58Speaker 4: to die is to have family members praying with them
- 8:02Speaker 4: as they And the question is if you die today,
- 8:10Speaker 4: what dreams, what ideas, what talents, what books, what music,
- 8:17Speaker 4: what leadership? What voice will die with you? Miles Monroe,
- 8:22Speaker 4: Great Oreiton speaker said, the wealth is placed in the planet.
- 8:26Speaker 4: It's not in the Far East where there's oil in
- 8:28Speaker 4: the ground. It's not in South Africa where they're diamond miized.
- 8:30Speaker 6: He said.
- 8:31Speaker 4: The wealth is placed on the planet is the cemetery.
- 8:34Speaker 4: But there you find greatness that we've never seen. There
- 8:38Speaker 4: you find talent and genius and potential never actualize. Perhaps
- 8:43Speaker 4: that's why Henry David Threau wrote the words all God
- 8:46Speaker 4: to reach the form of death, only to realize that
- 8:49Speaker 4: you've never lived. Maybe that's why some unknown writer wrote
- 8:53Speaker 4: the words what if you live your whole life only
- 8:56Speaker 4: to discover that it was wrong, that it was wrong,
- 9:03Speaker 4: that you were chosen to do something else and you
- 9:09Speaker 4: didn't do it.
- 9:16Speaker 2: Fourth major lesson in life to learn.
- 9:20Speaker 8: Learn how to reap in the fall without complaint, Learn
- 9:26Speaker 8: to reap, come, harvestein without complaint. Take full responsibility for
- 9:35Speaker 8: what happens to you. It's one of the highest forms
- 9:39Speaker 8: of human maturity. Accepting full responsibility.
- 9:44Speaker 2: It's the day you.
- 9:45Speaker 8: Know you've passed from childhood to adulthood, the day you
- 9:48Speaker 8: accept full responsibility. And another note, learn to reap in
- 9:55Speaker 8: the fall without apology, without apology if you do well,
- 10:00Speaker 8: and without complaint if you don't. That's maturity. I used
- 10:09Speaker 8: to have that long list of reasons why I wasn't
- 10:11Speaker 8: doing well.
- 10:14Speaker 2: To explain.
- 10:16Speaker 8: You got to explain right, otherwise you're gonna look bad.
- 10:20Speaker 8: I used to have this funny list called reasons for
- 10:22Speaker 8: not looking good. I used to blame the government. I mean,
- 10:32Speaker 8: you can believe that or not. It was at the
- 10:33Speaker 8: top of my list. I had a lecture second to
- 10:35Speaker 8: none the government.
- 10:37Speaker 2: That was on my list. I used to blame taxes.
- 10:40Speaker 8: Look what you got left after they take everything and
- 10:43Speaker 8: they expect you to do well.
- 10:47Speaker 2: That was on my list. There prices. That one's easy, right.
- 10:51Speaker 8: You walk into the supermarket with twenty dollars, come out
- 10:53Speaker 8: with a little half bag. So I had that on
- 10:57Speaker 8: my list. I used to blame the weather. I blame
- 11:02Speaker 8: the traffic. I used to blame my car. I blame
- 11:06Speaker 8: the manufacturers. I used to blame the company. I blamed
- 11:12Speaker 8: company policy. I used to blame the training program. I
- 11:20Speaker 8: blame my negative relatives. They were always putting me down.
- 11:24Speaker 8: I blame my cynical neighbors. They're just selfish, looking out
- 11:27Speaker 8: for themselves. Won't loan you money. They were on my list.
- 11:35Speaker 8: I used to blame the economy. I blame the community.
- 11:41Speaker 8: That's a pretty good list for not doing well, isn't it.
- 11:44Speaker 8: I thought it was good. I'll never forget one day.
- 11:48Speaker 8: Mister Chuff is very kind, but he was also very blunt,
- 11:52Speaker 8: and this was no exception, and I'm glad he was blunt.
- 11:55Speaker 2: There's a lot of things I'd have missed if he
- 11:56Speaker 2: hadn't have been blunt.
- 11:58Speaker 8: One day, with sort of a curious look on his face,
- 12:00Speaker 8: he said, Jim, just out of curiosity, tell me, how
- 12:03Speaker 8: come you haven't done well up until now?
- 12:07Speaker 2: Excellent question. I thought, well, so I won't look too bad.
- 12:14Speaker 2: I'll go through my list and this list I just
- 12:19Speaker 2: gave you.
- 12:19Speaker 8: I put that on him, and he was very patient.
- 12:23Speaker 8: He let me go through the whole thing, the government,
- 12:24Speaker 8: the weather. I went through this whole thing. When I finished,
- 12:28Speaker 8: he looked my list over very carefully. He said, mister own,
- 12:31Speaker 8: big problem with your list.
- 12:32Speaker 2: You ain't on it. How brilliant.
- 12:44Speaker 8: When I went to work for him a few months later,
- 12:47Speaker 8: I learned very quickly to tear up my list reasons
- 12:49Speaker 8: for not doing well, and I threw it away, and
- 12:52Speaker 8: I got me a fresh piece of paper, and I
- 12:54Speaker 8: put one word on it.
- 12:56Speaker 7: Me people who succeed in any situation have a pattern
- 13:06Speaker 7: of what they do to succeed. Yes, discipline. It does
- 13:11Speaker 7: start with waking up early. It really does.
- 13:20Speaker 3: Of people are not willing to do what it takes
- 13:23Speaker 3: to make their dreams come true.
- 13:26Speaker 11: Somebody say, hey, what's your alarm clock?
- 13:27Speaker 7: My passion, my dreams, wake me up? I don't know
- 13:30Speaker 7: alarm clock.
- 13:32Speaker 12: Motivation is it's kind of a strange word because it
- 13:36Speaker 12: doesn't really mean what we think it needs. We think
- 13:42Speaker 12: it means that we're fired up to do something.
- 13:45Speaker 7: You know what you're after. When you take at you,
- 13:46Speaker 7: you won't just be expending energy. You'll be moving yourself
- 13:49Speaker 7: in a direction or something you really really want. You
- 13:53Speaker 7: cannot win the war against the world if you can't
- 13:57Speaker 7: win the war against your own mind.
- 13:59Speaker 11: Any pain you're already struggling, like, get something for your pain.
- 14:03Speaker 5: That's the thing.
- 14:04Speaker 12: Success and failure are generally slow processes, the discipline, calls
- 14:12Speaker 12: for strength and fortitude and will.
- 14:16Speaker 7: You don't want to just say, Okay, I know what
- 14:18Speaker 7: I want to know why I want it. I'm just
- 14:19Speaker 7: gonna make it happens. I'm gonna do it. You keep
- 14:20Speaker 7: hammering and hammering and hammering it.
- 14:22Speaker 12: You have to realize, you have to know, you have
- 14:25Speaker 12: to accept that all your excuses are nice.
- 14:31Speaker 1: It don't matter whose fault it is that something is broken,
- 14:34Speaker 1: if it's your responsibility to fix it.
- 14:38Speaker 11: But what I realize is it doesn't make a difference
- 14:40Speaker 11: if you're smart, born in a wealthy family, born broke.
- 14:44Speaker 11: I realize what makes people different is the energy level
- 14:47Speaker 11: that they have, and the energy level was because of
- 14:50Speaker 11: what's driving them.
- 14:51Speaker 12: Then how do you stop the lives?
- 14:52Speaker 2: Do you stop the lines with the truth?
- 14:54Speaker 7: And when you've been a point where you can say,
- 14:56Speaker 7: you can let you know. I care more about me,
- 14:58Speaker 7: I have standards, I have value.
- 15:01Speaker 1: I want my life, I want my work, of my family.
- 15:06Speaker 1: I want it to mean something, and it's like it has.
- 15:08Speaker 1: If you're not making someone else's life better, then you're
- 15:13Speaker 1: wasting your time.
- 15:14Speaker 2: I can't get this paragraph.
- 15:16Speaker 6: I can't remember what the face in this paragraph to
- 15:18Speaker 6: pass this test to get the military read again.
- 15:21Speaker 12: Instead of getting it read again but not getting it,
- 15:24Speaker 12: write it out.
- 15:25Speaker 2: And that's how I started learning.
- 15:27Speaker 12: It's a campaign, it's a daily, weekly, it's an hourly fight.
- 15:33Speaker 5: The definition of who I am is very clear to me,
- 15:37Speaker 5: and it also redefines who I want to be in
- 15:42Speaker 5: that I know for a fact that I'm stronger than
- 15:48Speaker 5: I thought I was.
