- 0:01Speaker 1: We said to have an extraordinary life, you gotta have
- 0:03Speaker 1: an extraordinary psychology. Right. Extraordinary psychology means you got to
- 0:06Speaker 1: live in an extraordinary state. To be an extraordinary state,
- 0:09Speaker 1: you've got to condition your nervous system, your body, your
- 0:11Speaker 1: physiology and focus to be at their best. Then to
- 0:14Speaker 1: do that, though you can do that, why doesn't everybody not?
- 0:19Speaker 1: Because you can't, We all have the ability. It's because
- 0:23Speaker 1: of our standards. Think about your own life. I know
- 0:27Speaker 1: there have been areas in your life where some point
- 0:29Speaker 1: in time you just shifted and you raise the standard
- 0:32Speaker 1: in your life change. Because whatever people have their identity
- 0:36Speaker 1: attached to, they live. We live who we believe we are.
- 0:41Speaker 2: My journey from here to there was lonely. The reason
- 0:47Speaker 2: I was willing to be wrong and admit wrong so
- 0:49Speaker 2: that I could grow, and so that I could change.
- 0:53Speaker 2: You see growth as a result of bad habits dropped
- 0:56Speaker 2: wrong priorities changed, and new ways of thinking embraced. It
- 1:02Speaker 2: happens only when we question ourselves enough to ask serious
- 1:07Speaker 2: questions from others. The people who do not grow are
- 1:11Speaker 2: unwilling to ask themselves or others hard questions. They are
- 1:17Speaker 2: unwilling to leave what they have known and practice. They
- 1:20Speaker 2: are not willing to be wrong so they can discover
- 1:23Speaker 2: what is right. Therefore they cling to right and their
- 1:29Speaker 2: lives turn out wrong.
- 1:32Speaker 3: How sad we get what we're looking for, we filter
- 1:36Speaker 3: out everything else in our life. You're gonna get what
- 1:39Speaker 3: you're looking for even if it doesn't even exist, even
- 1:42Speaker 3: if it's not even there. If you're looking for negatives,
- 1:44Speaker 3: if you're looking for setbacks, if you're looking to be
- 1:46Speaker 3: looked over, you will find it even though it's not
- 1:48Speaker 3: supposed to be there. But if you're looking for victory,
- 1:50Speaker 3: for winning, for recruits, for people to change your life,
- 1:53Speaker 3: for magic moments, you will find them if you're looking
- 1:55Speaker 3: for them. I promise you that's true in life.
- 1:58Speaker 1: Your brain, when you condition it knows exacts. I happy
- 2:00Speaker 1: what to go for it, and I'll find a way
- 2:01Speaker 1: to get there. When you decide what's most important to you,
- 2:04Speaker 1: your brain goes after it.
- 2:07Speaker 2: Surrender of being right enables us to ask questions that
- 2:11Speaker 2: others can answer and add value to us. Surrender of
- 2:16Speaker 2: being right is the prerequisite to finding right.
- 2:24Speaker 1: I believe that with all my heart, and.
- 2:29Speaker 2: Here's what I know. I never want to get to
- 2:32Speaker 2: the place where I've got it all figured out. I
- 2:38Speaker 2: still want to keep learning, and I still want to
- 2:39Speaker 2: keep going, and I still want to be a student,
- 2:42Speaker 2: and I still want to be on a learning curve,
- 2:43Speaker 2: and I still want to value people, and I still
- 2:46Speaker 2: want to walk into the life and say, look, you
- 2:48Speaker 2: have something that if I could just ask the right question,
- 2:50Speaker 2: you could impart to me that would help me, that
- 2:52Speaker 2: would allow me to become a better person myself.
- 2:57Speaker 4: Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity.
- 3:00Speaker 4: Be pride is the burden of a foolish person.
- 3:02Speaker 1: If you're going to do a job, do it right.
- 3:06Speaker 4: I've always been told how average I can be, always
- 3:13Speaker 4: been criticized about being average. But I want to tell
- 3:17Speaker 4: you something. I stand here before you, before all of
- 3:21Speaker 4: these people, not listening to those words, but telling myself
- 3:26Speaker 4: every single day to shoot for the stars, to be
- 3:30Speaker 4: the best, that I can be. Good Enough isn't good
- 3:33Speaker 4: enough if it can be better, and better isn't good
- 3:35Speaker 4: enough if it can be best. Wisdom will come to
- 3:38Speaker 4: you in the unlikeliest of sources, a lot of times
- 3:41Speaker 4: through failure. When you hit rock bottom, remember this while
- 3:45Speaker 4: you're struggling. Rock Bottom can also be a great foundation
- 3:49Speaker 4: on which to build and on which to grow. I'm
- 3:52Speaker 4: not worried that you'll be successful. I'm worried that you
- 3:56Speaker 4: won't fail from time to time. That gets up off
- 4:01Speaker 4: the canvas and keeps growing, that's the person that will
- 4:04Speaker 4: continue to grow their influence.
- 4:08Speaker 3: How many of you would love a breakthrough?
- 4:12Speaker 1: All right?
- 4:13Speaker 3: Number one? You gotta have a permeating attitude that you're
- 4:16Speaker 3: gonna win. You gotta have a positive outlook. You gotta
- 4:19Speaker 3: be optimistic. You gotta know you're gonna win. You gotta
- 4:22Speaker 3: right now. You gotta say I'm gonna win. I don't
- 4:24Speaker 3: mean just this contest. I don't mean the contest. I
- 4:26Speaker 3: mean I'm gonna win. I'm gonna win. My life is
- 4:30Speaker 3: gonna win. There's gonna be a victorious life here, because
- 4:32Speaker 3: listen to me, the price you pay for losing here
- 4:35Speaker 3: is too extreme. You have to carry the burden of
- 4:38Speaker 3: failure the rest of your life. You carry that around
- 4:41Speaker 3: with you if you fail here. The biggest thing that
- 4:44Speaker 3: breaks my heart is you feel the spirit right now,
- 4:47Speaker 3: and then when you get back, these dream stealers run
- 4:49Speaker 3: into you and they start to steal your dream and
- 4:52Speaker 3: you quit, You give up, You gotta decide I'm gonna win.
- 4:55Speaker 3: You gotta decide that the failure part of carrying filth.
- 4:58Speaker 3: You've been exposed to what you're life could be. If
- 5:01Speaker 3: you fail here, the price is extreme. It's forever you
- 5:04Speaker 3: carry the failure forever. I'm being honest with you. I
- 5:07Speaker 3: mean people oftentimes that say I was in WFG, you
- 5:10Speaker 3: really changed my life for this meeting. But but but
- 5:13Speaker 3: and they put their heads down. They've been carrying it.
- 5:15Speaker 3: They carry it. They see these facebooks and instagrams and
- 5:18Speaker 3: what we're doing. You gotta know you're gonna win. You
- 5:20Speaker 3: gotta sell out. Yeah, I'm telling you. Gotta become a sellout.
- 5:24Speaker 3: You need to sell out. You need to get obsessed.
- 5:25Speaker 3: You gotta get relentless. You gotta be a road dog.
- 5:28Speaker 3: You gotta get intense. That's what you gotta do. There's
- 5:30Speaker 3: some dream stealers you need to look out for.
- 5:32Speaker 4: These four.
- 5:32Speaker 3: I don't want them to happen to you. You ready say yes,
- 5:36Speaker 3: dream stealer number one that'll take you out of here.
- 5:38Speaker 3: Lack of confidence or faith, lack of belief, it'll steal
- 5:43Speaker 3: your dream. You gotta know you're gonna win. You gotta
- 5:45Speaker 3: have some faith. These people sitting around you right now,
- 5:49Speaker 3: they're whispering to you. You could do this. I believe it,
- 5:51Speaker 3: just like when you were a little boy, just like
- 5:52Speaker 3: when you were a little girl. They've always believed in you.
- 5:55Speaker 3: They've always known you're gonna do something special. They always
- 5:57Speaker 3: knew you were great. You need to know it. You
- 5:59Speaker 3: need to take that God that's sitting there with you,
- 6:02Speaker 3: and those precious souls that have passed that have always
- 6:04Speaker 3: believed in you, and you carry them with you everywhere.
- 6:08Speaker 3: They're with you anyway, Acknowledge them. If you don't believe that,
- 6:13Speaker 3: honor them, Honor God, Honor these people who believed in
- 6:17Speaker 3: you with your magnificent life.
- 6:20Speaker 1: Honor them.
- 6:21Speaker 3: Don't give into lack of belief, lack of confidence. Don't
- 6:24Speaker 3: ever do that again. Don't do it in WFG or
- 6:25Speaker 3: out of WFG. You were made to do something great.
- 6:28Speaker 3: You're special, You're made the image of God. Something awesome
- 6:31Speaker 3: supposed to happen for you, and those of you that
- 6:33Speaker 3: have made something awesome happen, something even more awesome supposed
- 6:36Speaker 3: to happen for you.
- 6:38Speaker 5: I would say for the last forty five years, we've
- 6:41Speaker 5: told psychologists have been have been certainly to blame for this,
- 6:45Speaker 5: at least in part. You're okay the way you are.
- 6:49Speaker 5: That's what we tell young people. Oh, you're okay the
- 6:51Speaker 5: way you are. It's like, man, there's nothing worse than
- 6:55Speaker 5: you can tell that. You can tell someone who's young
- 6:58Speaker 5: than that, especially if they're miserable, you know, and lots
- 7:01Speaker 5: of them, well, if they're miserable and aimless. It's like, oh,
- 7:04Speaker 5: I'm miserable and aimless and sometimes I'm suicidal and I'm nihilistic,
- 7:08Speaker 5: and I don't have any direction in your life.
- 7:10Speaker 1: It's in my life.
- 7:10Speaker 5: It's like, well, you're okay the way you are here,
- 7:13Speaker 5: and it's like they don't want to hear that.
- 7:15Speaker 1: They want to hear.
- 7:16Speaker 6: Look, you know you're and you know this.
- 7:20Speaker 5: You're useless, you know nothing, you haven't got started. You've
- 7:26Speaker 5: got sixty years to put yourself together, and God only
- 7:30Speaker 5: knows what you could become. And that's so that message
- 7:35Speaker 5: is so much more. It's so funny because it's so
- 7:39Speaker 5: it's such an attack, but it's so positive because there's
- 7:44Speaker 5: faith there in the in the potential that makes up
- 7:47Speaker 5: the person, rather than the miserable actuality that happens to
- 7:50Speaker 5: be manifesting itself at the moment, and young people respond
- 7:54Speaker 5: extraordinarily well to that because and you know that if
- 7:58Speaker 5: you're a parent and you love your your child, your son,
- 8:01Speaker 5: your daughter, what you're trying to foster is the best
- 8:07Speaker 5: in them. You want that to manifest itself across the
- 8:10Speaker 5: course of their life. You want them to become continually
- 8:14Speaker 5: more than they are, to see what they could be.
- 8:18Speaker 5: And well, and I think that's part of the great
- 8:21Speaker 5: message of the West is that that's the that's the
- 8:24Speaker 5: ethical requirement of individual being in the proper sense, is
- 8:30Speaker 5: to constantly note that you're not what you could be,
- 8:35Speaker 5: to take responsibility for that, and to commit yourself like
- 8:41Speaker 5: body and soul, to the attainment of that ideal.
- 8:46Speaker 7: So I have this thing that I've been promoting called
- 8:48Speaker 7: no Whining Wednesdays. Wednesday you cannot whine, complain, or criticize, And.
- 8:58Speaker 6: People like, well, what is whatever you think it is,
- 9:02Speaker 6: don't do it.
- 9:05Speaker 7: And every time you do it, you have to put
- 9:07Speaker 7: a quarter in a jar. If you whine about anything, I.
- 9:12Speaker 6: Can't I'm tied to mean, why don't you what heavy?
- 9:18Speaker 6: Every one of them will cost you a quarter?
- 9:21Speaker 7: Or complaining why don't you why do you always how
- 9:24Speaker 7: come you, I always.
- 9:25Speaker 6: They never whoo up cost you a quarter.
- 9:28Speaker 7: Then last week I had people send me pictures of
- 9:31Speaker 7: their jaws a quarters.
- 9:33Speaker 6: Oh my god.
- 9:36Speaker 7: But what they said to me also was this was
- 9:39Speaker 7: wonderful because I was never ever aware of how much
- 9:44Speaker 7: whining and complaining and criticizing I do. Now I've got
- 9:48Speaker 7: mothers doing it with their children. So Wednesday is no
- 9:53Speaker 7: whining Wednesday. We need to practice that. We need to
- 9:57Speaker 7: stop whining about what isn't happening, what we don't have,
- 10:03Speaker 7: what we can't do, what.
- 10:04Speaker 6: Somebody didn't do. We gotta get it clean.
- 10:08Speaker 7: In twenty fourteen, no whining, no complaining, no criticize.
- 10:16Speaker 8: I struggled off to school. The last time I took
- 10:18Speaker 8: English class, I gotta fail, and my English teacher said
- 10:21Speaker 8: I was the weakest writer.
- 10:21Speaker 6: She ever met in her entire life.
- 10:23Speaker 8: The last time I took a speech class, same year,
- 10:25Speaker 8: I got a D minus in speech and my speech
- 10:28Speaker 8: teacher said, at least a quote unquote, I recommend you
- 10:30Speaker 8: never speak in public, that you get a desk job.
- 10:33Speaker 6: So that was the beginning of my life.
- 10:35Speaker 8: That was the That was my nineteen year old experience.
- 10:38Speaker 8: And then I go on and I'm trying to figure
- 10:39Speaker 8: it out. Trying to figure it out, I was obedient.
- 10:41Speaker 8: I went and got a job in accounting. I was
- 10:44Speaker 8: in the collection department for seven years. Y'all don't know
- 10:47Speaker 8: I'm dangerous to accounting. I'm just dangerous. And I'm in collections.
- 10:51Speaker 8: And you know you should never put a broke person
- 10:54Speaker 8: in collections. Never because everybody's reasons sound.
- 10:57Speaker 6: Good to me.
- 10:59Speaker 8: Not No, I don't see I'm funny, but I was real.
- 11:02Speaker 8: Not only did I say, girl, don't you worry about
- 11:04Speaker 8: paying that, I'm gonna take your name off the list.
- 11:08Speaker 8: Somebody went to jail because I was in clode. I
- 11:11Speaker 8: got fired from five different jobs, and then I got
- 11:14Speaker 8: pregnant with my son unexpectedly, and then at eight months
- 11:17Speaker 8: my son's father went to prison. I had to get
- 11:21Speaker 8: on government's assistance to have my baby. I was on
- 11:23Speaker 8: Wick Women Infinite Children to feed my child. And when
- 11:27Speaker 8: my son was eight months old, I went to the
- 11:29Speaker 8: ATM to get twenty dollars out the bank because I
- 11:32Speaker 8: didn't have any pampers for him, and in order to
- 11:34Speaker 8: get twenty dollars out, she got there twenty dollars in
- 11:39Speaker 8: I had eleven dollars and forty two cents and I
- 11:42Speaker 8: still can't tell the story, but I'll get an emotional
- 11:44Speaker 8: because of my story. For two days, I had to
- 11:47Speaker 8: wrap my son and a child. But something happens toe
- 11:50Speaker 8: Evehen those two days, I was at rock bottom. I
- 11:54Speaker 8: was broke, and I was broken, Inglewood, California. My son
- 11:59Speaker 8: laying on his back at eight I have a towel
- 12:01Speaker 8: over him and I have my hand on his stomach, saying,
- 12:04Speaker 8: don't you worry, Jaylani, Mommy will never be this broke again.
- 12:09Speaker 6: And I made a decision.
- 12:10Speaker 8: I was bankrupt and every stinking thinking I had, I
- 12:15Speaker 8: was bankrupt and trying to protect my pride. I was
- 12:18Speaker 8: bankrupt and trying to be all that in a bag
- 12:20Speaker 8: of chips and the bolagrits falsified. I was bankrupt in
- 12:23Speaker 8: trying to not ask anyone for help. I was bankrupt
- 12:26Speaker 8: in everything that was holding me and keeping me where
- 12:29Speaker 8: I was. I've always talked a good game, but I
- 12:32Speaker 8: wasn't doing anything with my gift and all that thing
- 12:35Speaker 8: about potential. I was tired of having potential. I wanted
- 12:37Speaker 8: to have my now. And I looked at that baby
- 12:40Speaker 8: at eight months and I said, I want to transform
- 12:43Speaker 8: your life because you didn't ask to come into this chaos.
- 12:47Speaker 8: As an African American male child in south central Los
- 12:51Speaker 8: Angeles with a single mother whose father's in prison, he
- 12:54Speaker 8: had a sixty six percent chance of going to prison himself.
- 12:58Speaker 6: Not on my watch, Not on my watch.
- 13:02Speaker 8: So if I have to be willing to drastically transform
- 13:05Speaker 8: myself so that I can become the woman that I
- 13:08Speaker 8: know I can be, and that's what I began to do.
- 13:11Speaker 6: I was radical. What did you do?
- 13:14Speaker 1: So?
- 13:14Speaker 6: What what did you do to change your life?
- 13:17Speaker 5: First?
- 13:19Speaker 8: I realized I couldn't grow with people who were struggling like.
- 13:22Speaker 6: Me that whole.
- 13:24Speaker 8: I don't want to leave nobody behind. No, I don't
- 13:27Speaker 8: want to.
- 13:27Speaker 6: Stay with y'all. You don't even want to be here.
- 13:31Speaker 8: I don't want to be the queen of this block.
- 13:34Speaker 8: And I became okay with the fact that it doesn't
- 13:38Speaker 8: make me any less committed to my community, committed to
- 13:41Speaker 8: my culture, committed to my family. The best thing I
- 13:44Speaker 8: can do for you is not stay here with you.
- 13:46Speaker 8: When I've got that, I went to places I'd never
- 13:49Speaker 8: seen before. I went to conferences where people were talking
- 13:51Speaker 8: about money, talking about prosperity, talking about. It was like, no,
- 13:56Speaker 8: I Blaspaniel, what y'all talking about? Ro O I S
- 13:58Speaker 8: and PPMS and term agreement and capital fundraising and bottom
- 14:02Speaker 8: lines and what is it?
- 14:03Speaker 1: What I want?
- 14:04Speaker 8: I'm gonna stay until I learn what you're talking about.
- 14:07Speaker 8: I went to the same conference forty two times, and
- 14:11Speaker 8: there I raised five hundred and thirty two thousand dollars
- 14:14Speaker 8: in capital for my company start my dream, and my
- 14:17Speaker 8: dream was to transform teen lives. I want to teach
- 14:19Speaker 8: teens how to fall madly in love with themselves and
- 14:22Speaker 8: how to make integrity based decisions. And I got it
- 14:24Speaker 8: funded and I started working, and that was the beginning
- 14:27Speaker 8: of me rescuing myself. I realized that I am my rescue.
- 14:32Speaker 8: No one else is my rescue. I am my rescuer.
