- 0:02Speaker 1: I'm not what I think I am. I'm not what
- 0:04Speaker 1: you think I am. I am what I think you
- 0:07Speaker 1: think I am. So we live in this perception of
- 0:11Speaker 1: a perception of ourselves. Hence, my identity is made by
- 0:16Speaker 1: what my parents think I should be. My identity is
- 0:18Speaker 1: made up by what my college or university thinks I
- 0:21Speaker 1: should achieve. While you're living in that bubble and that
- 0:24Speaker 1: echo chamber, getting to what you really want to do
- 0:28Speaker 1: is impossible.
- 0:32Speaker 2: We bring to our experience our own stereotypes and expectations,
- 0:36Speaker 2: and we color the world with our own interpretation. And
- 0:39Speaker 2: so it's this notion that our experience of the world
- 0:41Speaker 2: is kind of a dance or kind of like a
- 0:42Speaker 2: collaboration between what's coming in and what we're bringing to
- 0:47Speaker 2: the table. And so what that tells us is, no,
- 0:50Speaker 2: we don't have a direct experience of reality. We don't
- 0:52Speaker 2: have an empirical experience of reality. We don't see the
- 0:55Speaker 2: world as it is. We see the world as we are.
- 1:00Speaker 3: You have to be intentional with what you do, with
- 1:03Speaker 3: who you are. The more valid reasons you have to
- 1:06Speaker 3: accomplish a dream, the higher the odds.
- 1:09Speaker 4: Right that you will.
- 1:10Speaker 2: The first question is, is your dream really your dream.
- 1:14Speaker 3: If your dream isn't really your dream, ain't going to work.
- 1:18Speaker 3: I'm coming to you.
- 1:19Speaker 5: I've been thinking, I've been macall.
- 1:22Speaker 6: That's what I'm asking you to do.
- 1:24Speaker 3: What deals you?
- 1:26Speaker 4: The reason why you so lazy is not because you
- 1:28Speaker 4: don't have the ability do so lazy because.
- 1:30Speaker 3: Your dream so small.
- 1:33Speaker 5: Stand out today, be different, Become something different. Stop flying
- 1:38Speaker 5: to yourself and stand up and become something with, work,
- 1:42Speaker 5: something with more than you've ever been. Your goals, your
- 1:47Speaker 5: goals that you set for yourself.
- 1:48Speaker 1: That's your power.
- 1:50Speaker 5: Your ambition is your power.
- 1:54Speaker 6: Having time is so powerful. You are powerful.
- 2:00Speaker 5: Set out what you believe in, lay out the power
- 2:03Speaker 5: you have, Actually lay out the power that you have
- 2:05Speaker 5: always had. Use this, become this and have this your
- 2:13Speaker 5: power can take you. Put you on your path your success,
- 2:17Speaker 5: to the place where you succeed, where you can become
- 2:22Speaker 5: more than just ordinary.
- 2:27Speaker 1: Figure out who you are, don't apologize for who you are,
- 2:32Speaker 1: and then become even greater than you naturally are at
- 2:36Speaker 1: what you are.
- 2:37Speaker 7: Once you understand that every time you lose, it's an
- 2:41Speaker 7: opportunity for you to not only learn that lesson, but
- 2:44Speaker 7: take it a plus one step past the lesson you'll
- 2:48Speaker 7: start to appreciate those lessons.
- 2:55Speaker 8: I dare you to work on myself for six months
- 3:00Speaker 8: to shut out the world. I dare you to shut
- 3:03Speaker 8: out all the distractions. I dare you to give up
- 3:08Speaker 8: everything that is keeping you from your dream.
- 3:18Speaker 4: It's been important for me to empower my children, but
- 3:22Speaker 4: not only my children, but thousands of young people across
- 3:25Speaker 4: the country. And education is the key for a lot
- 3:28Speaker 4: of people. But when I speak at colleges and stuff,
- 3:31Speaker 4: I tell people, number one thing in your world is
- 3:34Speaker 4: not your education, it's your dream. So what you're dreaming about, y'all,
- 3:40Speaker 4: what you still dream about.
- 3:43Speaker 8: No matter how terrible a situation is, no matter how
- 3:47Speaker 8: bad it is, there's still gonna be a rose that
- 3:49Speaker 8: grows from that concrete.
- 3:50Speaker 2: Every person on this planet is capable of changing the
- 3:53Speaker 2: world by changing themselves.
- 3:56Speaker 1: I've always had friends who are older than me, and
- 3:59Speaker 1: I could see a lot of in the most successful careers,
- 4:01Speaker 1: successful jobs, beautiful partners, whatever it was. But I saw
- 4:06Speaker 1: a sense of lack of fulfillment, meaning and purpose in
- 4:08Speaker 1: their lives. And I've always been an observer, and I
- 4:11Speaker 1: would see these people who are like five years old,
- 4:13Speaker 1: when he's seven years old, of when me maybe ten
- 4:14Speaker 1: years older than me, and I'll be watching them and
- 4:17Speaker 1: go is that the life I want? And often the
- 4:18Speaker 1: advice I give to people today is fast forward where
- 4:21Speaker 1: you are. Look at yourself in ten, fifteen, twenty years
- 4:24Speaker 1: time and ask yourself the question, is that where I
- 4:27Speaker 1: want to be. If you're in a company, look at
- 4:30Speaker 1: the person who's twenty years ahead of you and ask yourself,
- 4:32Speaker 1: is that where I want to be? If you're in
- 4:33Speaker 1: a startup, look at where other startups have got too
- 4:36Speaker 1: in similar role, and go is that where I want
- 4:38Speaker 1: to be? And if the answer is no, then you
- 4:41Speaker 1: need to find a new part.
- 4:44Speaker 6: You set the small goals, you achieve those goals, then
- 4:49Speaker 6: set some more and achieve those. Set some more goals,
- 4:53Speaker 6: maybe a little bit bigger, but not that much bigger.
- 4:57Speaker 6: You pay attention to the products. Just start to start small.
- 5:04Speaker 6: Start with changing tomorrow morning, just tomorrow morning.
- 5:08Speaker 9: Get that squared away, and then move on to the
- 5:11Speaker 9: next day and the next, and move your life to
- 5:14Speaker 9: a better place, one little step, one little victory at
- 5:21Speaker 9: a time.
- 5:25Speaker 4: You should dream outland streams. If it's in your imagination,
- 5:29Speaker 4: it's possible. Do you know that you can't think of
- 5:32Speaker 4: something that can't happen. You know, it's impossible to think
- 5:36Speaker 4: of the impossible. It's not possible. So if you think it,
- 5:41Speaker 4: it's possible. And if you live your life and possibilities
- 5:45Speaker 4: instead of probabilities, you have a greater chance of finding happiness.
- 5:50Speaker 3: Yes, what I had to do at age twenty five
- 5:52Speaker 3: in order to change my own future, I had to
- 5:54Speaker 3: change my mind. I had to change my thinking. I
- 5:56Speaker 3: had to change my philosophy. I was messed up on
- 5:59Speaker 3: what was causing my Once I got that straightened. Now
- 6:01Speaker 3: that all this stuff I blamed the government, taxes, marketplace,
- 6:05Speaker 3: and economy and things cost you much, negative relatives, cynical neighbors.
- 6:09Speaker 3: Once I got rid of that and started going for
- 6:11Speaker 3: where the real problem was, which was me telling you
- 6:13Speaker 3: my life.
- 6:13Speaker 2: It was loaded in the king.
- 6:14Speaker 3: My bank account changed immediately, my income changed immediately, My
- 6:18Speaker 3: whole life took on a whole new look and color immediately.
- 6:21Speaker 3: And the early results I got from making these philosophical
- 6:23Speaker 3: changes tasted so good. I've never stopped the props. And
- 6:26Speaker 3: that thing.
- 6:29Speaker 4: What I'm sharing with you is stuff that everybody can
- 6:32Speaker 4: apply today. If you were sitting in here thinking that
- 6:36Speaker 4: you're too old to listen to what Steve Hell, I'm sixty.
- 6:40Speaker 4: I'm sixty years old, but I still rely on my imagination. See,
- 6:46Speaker 4: if you think you're too old to make it, let
- 6:48Speaker 4: me give you a prime example. Colonel Sanders. Colonel Sanders
- 6:54Speaker 4: has been frying chicken his whole life. He was telling
- 6:58Speaker 4: everybody he had the best chicken in the world. Ain't
- 7:00Speaker 4: nobody believing. They turned him down everywhere. Colonel Sanders didn't
- 7:06Speaker 4: get a franchise.
- 7:08Speaker 2: Till he was in his sixties.
- 7:11Speaker 4: Kentucky Fried Chicken say, more chicken than anybody in the
- 7:15Speaker 4: world today. So if you sitting there thinking cause you
- 7:20Speaker 4: got a little gray on you, you too late. As
- 7:24Speaker 4: long as God waking you up in the morning, that's
- 7:26Speaker 4: the sign that he ain't through with you. So what
- 7:29Speaker 4: you're tripping for? You're sitting up in here like like
- 7:33Speaker 4: God can't do nothing for you because you sixty. Man,
- 7:36Speaker 4: you know what I'm asking God for right now and
- 7:38Speaker 4: I'm sixty. If you could see my vision board, you
- 7:41Speaker 4: would be blown away because I got enough right now,
- 7:46Speaker 4: I really know. But I ain't in the need business.
- 7:48Speaker 4: I'm in the won't business. Ain't nothing wrong with wanting something,
- 7:52Speaker 4: but going down to these churches, y'all sitting up in here,
- 7:54Speaker 4: going down to keeping you in these little boxes. God
- 7:57Speaker 4: got a big.
- 7:58Speaker 6: Life for you.
- 8:00Speaker 3: Another fringe benefit of setting goals is what it does
- 8:03Speaker 3: for your ability to manage your time effectively. This is
- 8:07Speaker 3: no small thing. We'll look at time management and detail
- 8:11Speaker 3: in a later session, But now, while we're talking about goals,
- 8:15Speaker 3: I'd like to share a few ways your use of
- 8:17Speaker 3: time are affected by or influenced the achievement of your goals.
- 8:22Speaker 3: Have you ever thought that without some very clear written goals,
- 8:26Speaker 3: you never even need to consider managing your time. Time
- 8:30Speaker 3: essentials come from objectives. Well defined time can't be critical
- 8:35Speaker 3: if objectives aren't defined. Now you might be one of
- 8:38Speaker 3: those uniquely fortunate individuals who can keep all their objectives
- 8:43Speaker 3: and purposes clearly defined in their minds and operate from that.
- 8:47Speaker 3: But I wouldn't take the chance. Write your goals down
- 8:52Speaker 3: and set careful priorities. Sometimes priorities are determined by the season.
- 8:58Speaker 3: For a farmer, in springtime, the seat and dictates his
- 9:01Speaker 3: most important activities. During the spring, a farmer must work
- 9:05Speaker 3: around the clock, burn the midnight oil, and keep the
- 9:08Speaker 3: equipment running because he has only this small window of
- 9:11Speaker 3: time for the planting of his crops. One of the
- 9:14Speaker 3: difficulties of living in an industrialized society is the losing
- 9:18Speaker 3: of the sense of seasons, when to pour it on,
- 9:21Speaker 3: when to ease back, when to take advantage. It's easy
- 9:25Speaker 3: to keep going from nine to five year in and
- 9:28Speaker 3: year out and lose a natural sense of priorities and
- 9:32Speaker 3: appropriate time. Don't let one year just blend into the next.
- 9:37Speaker 3: Keep an eye on your own seasons, lest you lose
- 9:41Speaker 3: track of values and substance.
