Attitude is Everything: Develop a Positive Mindset and Live Happier · Motivation Mindset Podcast

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Your mind is a weapon, and you've got to be
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: able to use it and control it.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Most people are out of control with their mind.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: They don't point it at something, They let the world
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: point it and they misfire all the time. You have
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: control over your mind, you just have to assert it.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: You have to decide that you.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Are going to be in control, that you are going
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: to do what you want to do.
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: And if you understand the mind, it does what you
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: tell it.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: That's its john. And if you tell it better stuff,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: you have an amazing life.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: And you can tell it mediocre stuff, you have a
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: mediocre life.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Because there are some things in your life that will
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: make you rod that slap you out of your stupor
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: and say, this ain't no time to cry. So you
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: got to get used to being a little disappointed. You
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: gotta get used to walking into situations and being flexible,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: because if you are not flexed, you cannot survive. And
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden, life demands let you pick up
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: the pace. If you don't pick up the pace, you
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: won't be left behind.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Because almost all problems can be solved if only you
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: take the time to see them and think them through.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: That's very easy to understand, and it's very easy to say,
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: but it takes strong character to put it into practice.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: You live in a world that's flat and two dimensions.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: In other words, the impatient person lacks all sense of perspective.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Perspective lets you measure your plans and current events against
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: things that have already occurred, and also against your desires
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: and aspirations.
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: For the future.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Then and now, here and there, near and far, Need
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: and know, watch and wait. These are the dual optics
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: that allow the patient man to see in stereo, where
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: the near sighted person sees only the prison, or the
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: dreamer seems only in imaginary future, and more likely than
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: not trips over his mistakes trying to get there.
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: Why is it that most people don't pursue their dreams,
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: so don't do better than what they're doing if they're
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: capable of doing it. I think that many of us
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: don't go the next step because we don't know what
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: to do yet. And I say that that the reason
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: that we don't even explore the possibility of what to
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: do is because subconsciously we don't believe that it can
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: happen for us, and we don't believe that we deserve it.
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: So here's what I'm suggesting. How much time do you
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: spend working on you? How much time do you spend
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: every day working on your dream in the last ninety days?
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: Many books have you read in the last year, What
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: new skill or knowledge have you acquired? What kind of
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: investment have you made in you? See? I'm saying that
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: as you begin to look at where you want to go,
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: if you want to make it today, and things are
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: changing so fast you have to literally run to stand still.
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: I'm saying that you've got to make some conscious effort
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: to begin to work to develop you. Since out here
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: in the universe.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: If you don't take the plunge, I guarantee you somebody else.
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: Will take the plunge. Go into action, and ladies and gentlemen,
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: you will be surprised of how things will come together.
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: You'll be surprised. Now you're going to have some difficult challenges.
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: I can tell you that. Now, be aware of that
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: things are not going to work out exactly right for
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: a time. They will sometimes, and that's when life is
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: just playing a game with you. Ladies and gentlemen, Go
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: into action with your dream and don't avoid where the
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: fights are. Get in the midst of the fight.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: And get some hickeys on your.
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: Head, get knocked.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Down so you can learn how to fight, so you
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: can hold your position. See, most people don't get out
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: in the arena of life.
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: Because they don't want to fight. Most people don't get
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: out there because they don't want to get knocked down.
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: They don't want to be dropped to their knees. But see,
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: you're going to be dropped whether you're on the field.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: Or whether or not you're sitting on the sidelines, You're
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: going to be dropped.
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: So at least get dropped for something. Don't get knocked
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: down while you're sitting down. See that's now. Most people
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: are spectators in life. You don't want to be a spectator.
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: You want to get out in the field where the
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: action is and you will be amazed. After the struggle,
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: there will be a calm period and things will begin
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: to click for you. What would your life be like?
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: And I'm saying to you that all of us who
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: have been in tombed by fear, we have the capacity
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: to resurrect ourselves. Is it easy? No, it's not easy.
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: Can I do it?
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: What's one of the ways to get started? Some of
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: us need somebody to hold our hands. Sometimes we need
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: somebody to help us out, be willing to say I
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: don't know, be willing to reach out, be willing to
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: get some assistance to take you to the next level
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: of what great athlete? You never expect boxes to make
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: profound statements.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: I think it was Joe Frazier who said this one.
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: He says, all of us are like the blind man,
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: at some point in our lives, standing on the corner
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: waiting for somebody to lead us across. So all of us,
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: at some point in our lives need some help, need
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: someone to reach out to us, to throw out the
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: lifeline to help us go across some treacherous waters that
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: we couldn't navigate by ourselves. None of us do it
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: by ourselves. All of us, at some point of our
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: lives we need that kind of health.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: We need that.
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: Kind of assistance because we grow from the people we
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: have in our lives that can enrich our lives personally, professionally, spiritually,
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: and all the dimensions of our lives.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: We don't grow in a valcuum.
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: So as you look at yourself, what are fears you
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: have that maybe you need some help and strengthening yourself
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: in that area, as you assess your strengths and your weaknesses,
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: as you begin to approve yourself and your passions and
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: your dreams and your goals and the things that you want.
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: If you decide to experience all of your true potential,
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: as you decide to manifest all of your greatness, as
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: you decide, wait a minute, what else is available to
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: me out here? If I decided to experience the fear
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: of rejection, the fear of know, the fear of failure,
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: the fear of standing by myself?
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: What else is available of taking a chance, a fear
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: of losing it all? What else is available to me
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: that will bring some extra meeting in value?
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Receiving is not the problem. You don't have to work
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: on receiving. It's automatic. So if receiving is not the problem,
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: what is the problem. It's failing to ask? The man says,
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: I see it now. I got up every day this
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: year and hit it hard. But nowhere in my house
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: is there a list of what I want from my life?
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Can you see, good worker, poor asker. Third, receiving is
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: like the ocean. There's plenty, especially in this country. It's
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: like an ocean here. Here, success is not in short supply.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: It isn't rationed so that when you step up to
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: the window it's all gone. No. No, Well, if that's true,
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: what is the problem. Well, the problem is some people
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: go to the ocean with a tea spoon. Have you
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: got the picture a tea boom? What I suggest you do,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: in view of the size of the ocean is trade
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: your teaspoon for at least a bucket, and you will
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: look better at the ocean with a bucket. Kids won't
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: make fun of you. Now here's something else to remember
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: about asking. There are two ways to ask. One is
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: asked with intelligence. It didn't say ask intelligently, but I'm
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: sure it meant that. Don't mumble. You won't get anything
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: by mumbling. Be clear, be specific. Intelligent asking means how high,
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: how long, how much? When? What size, what model? What color?
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Describe what you want? Define it? Remember well, defined goals
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: are like magnets. The better you define them, the stronger
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: they pull and give your goals purpose. Answer both questions,
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: what do I want? That's the object and the second question,
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: what for that's purpose? Purpose is stronger than object. What
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: you want is powerful and it will pull, but what
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: you want it for is more powerful.
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: Let me ask a simple question.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: What makes you happy?
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: The thing that makes us happier with things that we're
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: passionate about I really like. And when they say that,
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: their face lights up?
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: Why don't you do more of that?
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: I can't because, oh, and you don't want to be great.
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: You're not ready to be You want to be good,
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: you want.
• 9:37
  Speaker 7: To be okay, But you don't want to be great
• 9:41
  Speaker 7: because great takes work.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Great takes a level of discipline that is distraction.
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: For all it takes is somebody wanted to take a step.
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: And there are certain things that a lot of people
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: in this world are sitting there thinking in their minds
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: and they're just not going to do. Like I used
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: to always try to pull a lot of people and
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: be like you, what you can do this?
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: You can do this.
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: But the people that hear that motivation over and over again,
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: sometimes they take that step. Some people just have it
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: in them early. It just starts and they're just getting
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: the muscle memory of just doing things. And if you fail,
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: so what you know, you start over, you do it again.
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: But most people, that fear of failure is the thing
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: that I think provinced them from like really really being successful.
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: And then also it's like a lot of other things
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: that are just difficult to do. You know, when you
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: tell people the answer to success, it's a lot of
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: hard stuff. You got to work hard. Right, Nobody wants
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: to hear that. Everybody wants to shortcut. You know, some
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: people understand that. They like they appreciate the progress. You know,
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: if you tell people right now, hey, if you want
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: to lose this many pounds, this is what you gotta do.
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: There's no short solution.
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: What do I think of people that say find your passion?
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: I will say they mean very well, but they don't
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: understand what passion actually is. So I think because a
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: rare breed of individuy or develops a passion when they're young,
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: they then mistake it for I found my passion. But
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: that's not really true.
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: Every day you just get up and I don't fear anything,
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: but I worry about everything.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: And the day you stop worrying in good.
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: Times, the power will get your behind. And so as
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: great as things.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Are in life, I know you're only a few steps
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: or a few incidents away from something bad happen.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: And you can never forget it.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Think someone thinks I'm confident, I feel confident. But if
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: someone thinks if I think someone thinks I'm not confident,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: then I don't feel confident. Now, people were so far
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: removed from their own understanding of themselves that they were
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: either lost living a life they didn't want to, lost
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: living up to someone else's expectations, or lost becoming someone
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: to impress someone else. And so people their real identity
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: is almost buried under six feet of multiple identities they've created.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Let me tell you, in order to have something different,
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: you are going to have to do something different.
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: In order to have something more, you have to do
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: something you haven't done yet. And when you look up
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: and you don't have to have a magnificent change over
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: twelve months, have a small change over thirty days, and
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: then a small change over thirty days, your
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: Breakthrough will come and need appointments, and you look up
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: in five years and not recognize your life
