Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: If you believe that there's very little potential, how much
- 0:05Speaker 1: action are you gonna take?
- 0:07Speaker 2: Nothing? Nothing?
- 0:08Speaker 1: Little? And when you take little potential with a little action,
- 0:10Speaker 1: what kind of results do you get? Lousy little results?
- 0:13Speaker 1: And when you have little results, what does that do
- 0:15Speaker 1: to your belief? You go, see, I told you this
- 0:17Speaker 1: was a waste of time, soldier, this wouldn't work. And
- 0:19Speaker 1: then what happens? You tap even less potential, you take
- 0:22Speaker 1: even less action, given the worse results in your belief
- 0:24Speaker 1: gets even weaker, and this socker feeds on itself until
- 0:27Speaker 1: you are in the downward spiralsis it's poisonous in itself fulfilling? Now,
- 0:31Speaker 1: what if something could happen that could come along and
- 0:34Speaker 1: fill you with a sense of absolute certainty, not like
- 0:37Speaker 1: I believe, but mean well, you know, in you guys'
- 0:40Speaker 1: case mine as well. We knew because we had to,
- 0:44Speaker 1: because we burn the boats. There was no other option.
- 0:46Speaker 1: We had to find the way had we weren't gonna
- 0:48Speaker 1: live that way. We all did it in different ways
- 0:50Speaker 1: and for different reasons, but in essence, that was it.
- 0:52Speaker 1: If you get yourself in a state of certainty that
- 0:55Speaker 1: this is gonna work, I'm gonna find a way, and
- 0:57Speaker 1: if this doesn't work, I will make the way. Then
- 0:59Speaker 1: you tap a lot more potential. And when you're certain
- 1:02Speaker 1: in your potential, you take massive action. When you take
- 1:05Speaker 1: massive action, you really believe in something. You get great results.
- 1:08Speaker 1: When you get great results, your brain goes see, I
- 1:10Speaker 1: told you I was a stud. I told you this
- 1:12Speaker 1: thing would work out. Now you're even stronger. You tap
- 1:14Speaker 1: more potential, take greater at your gatter results, and we
- 1:16Speaker 1: get momentum.
- 1:17Speaker 2: So why the rich get rich and the poor get poor?
- 1:19Speaker 3: Only execution matters. Burn that into your nervous system, Get
- 1:24Speaker 3: a tattoo, do whatever you need to do to remind yourself.
- 1:29Speaker 3: Only execution matters, thinking about it, feeling good about it.
- 1:33Speaker 3: Those are awesome. But if you have a vision of
- 1:36Speaker 3: something you're trying to do become whatever, and you don't
- 1:39Speaker 3: execute against it.
- 1:40Speaker 2: And I don't need you to want to build a
- 1:42Speaker 2: big business.
- 1:42Speaker 3: If you tell me you want to be the greatest
- 1:44Speaker 3: parent of all time, then I'm going to ask you
- 1:45Speaker 3: what are you doing to execute on that goal? What
- 1:48Speaker 3: are you doing?
- 1:49Speaker 2: How do you define it? What are your deliverables?
- 1:51Speaker 3: What are the metrics by which you're judging yourself and
- 1:54Speaker 3: by the way. If you don't want a grand goal,
- 1:56Speaker 3: you don't need one, But then say, what I'm trying
- 1:58Speaker 3: to do is get centered. I'm trying to experien whe's happiness.
- 2:01Speaker 3: Even that, you can begin to look at ways that
- 2:03Speaker 3: you can improve that.
- 2:04Speaker 4: The starting point of setting goals is for you to
- 2:08Speaker 4: throw off all mental limitations and let your mind roam
- 2:11Speaker 4: freely across the entire universe of possibilities. Your primary job
- 2:17Speaker 4: at the beginning is to allow yourself to dream big,
- 2:19Speaker 4: dream and determine exactly what it is you want out
- 2:23Speaker 4: of life in every area and in every dimension.
- 2:27Speaker 2: Decide what's right.
- 2:28Speaker 4: Before you decide what's possible, Imagine that you can be,
- 2:33Speaker 4: or have, or do virtually anything that you really want to,
- 2:37Speaker 4: as long as you know exactly what it is. First,
- 2:41Speaker 4: make up a dream list. Temporarily, imagine that you have
- 2:44Speaker 4: no limitations of time, money, knowledge, contacts, experience, or education.
- 2:51Speaker 4: Imagine that anything that you can write down is possible
- 2:54Speaker 4: for you. Remember, anything that you can clearly define and
- 2:58Speaker 4: crystallize on paper is probably possible if you want it
- 3:02Speaker 4: long enough and hard enough, and are willing to make
- 3:05Speaker 4: whatever efforts and sacrifices are necessary. There are no unrealistic goals,
- 3:12Speaker 4: only unrealistic timelines.
- 3:20Speaker 5: Most difficult things to do in the world is to
- 3:23Speaker 5: admit that you were wrong. Admitting that you were wrong
- 3:28Speaker 5: is nothing more than saying, I have been making choices
- 3:33Speaker 5: with my mind that have created things in my life
- 3:36Speaker 5: that are not working, and I no longer intend to
- 3:41Speaker 5: continue making those choices.
- 3:45Speaker 1: I was wrong.
- 3:48Speaker 5: You don't have to make a declaration of it. You
- 3:50Speaker 5: don't have to go out and feel guilty about it.
- 3:52Speaker 5: You just simply say it didn't work the relationship that
- 3:56Speaker 5: I was in before I behaved in these ways, I
- 3:59Speaker 5: didn't realize that it wasn't working for me. Now I do,
- 4:03Speaker 5: and this is where I choose to be.
- 4:04Speaker 6: Now, a better story is a story about how stories transform,
- 4:08Speaker 6: and so those are actually perceptual frames of reference that transform.
- 4:12Speaker 6: And then I understood that if you don't have respect
- 4:17Speaker 6: for the transformation process above all else, then you can't
- 4:21Speaker 6: transform your perceptual frames when necessary, and then you can't
- 4:24Speaker 6: adapt to error, and that destroys you.
- 4:26Speaker 7: We always have to update our versions about reality because
- 4:31Speaker 7: it's the only way that we adapt. Don't believe everything
- 4:36Speaker 7: you've read or heard. It just may not be the truth.
- 4:40Speaker 7: There's always a greater truth that you and I can
- 4:42Speaker 7: begin to investigate. Surely someone and eternity has had similar
- 4:48Speaker 7: problems you and I and they have gotten beyond it,
- 4:50Speaker 7: yes or no. So study that person you want to
- 4:54Speaker 7: be wealthy. Study wealthy people. Don't just have some panacea
- 5:00Speaker 7: that you're just going to get wealthy. Read about wealthy
- 5:03Speaker 7: people and find out that they lost everything and failed
- 5:06Speaker 7: miserably twenty fifty times. But what they had as a characteristic,
- 5:12Speaker 7: a quality and their personality as they were persistent, and
- 5:15Speaker 7: they kept changing, and they kept forgiving and letting go
- 5:18Speaker 7: of the past and kept going, and sooner or later
- 5:21Speaker 7: they ran into it. And when they had all the
- 5:23Speaker 7: money they wanted, it was never about the money. It
- 5:26Speaker 7: was just about that they could prove to themselves that
- 5:28Speaker 7: they can do it.
- 5:29Speaker 8: It's a precious life. If something is precious, where do
- 5:33Speaker 8: you want to invest this life into? What do you
- 5:36Speaker 8: want to invest this precious life? If this is a
- 5:39Speaker 8: worthless life through it somewhere. If this is a precious life,
- 5:43Speaker 8: what do you want to invest this life and do?
- 5:46Speaker 8: If you look at it this way, you will find
- 5:50Speaker 8: something truly worthwhile to do.
- 5:52Speaker 7: And the hardest part about change is making new choice.
- 5:55Speaker 7: The moment you make a new choice, get ready. You're
- 5:58Speaker 7: leaving the known.
- 5:59Speaker 2: It's going to be uncomfortable.
- 6:00Speaker 7: It's gonna be unfamiliar. There's gonna be some uncertainty you
- 6:03Speaker 7: can't predict.
- 6:03Speaker 3: You're not in the known any longer.
- 6:05Speaker 9: But if you want to begin to move into your
- 6:07Speaker 9: own personal greatness, if you want to begin to really
- 6:10Speaker 9: enjoy a happy, successful, healthy life, you've got to be
- 6:14Speaker 9: willing to go against the tide. You've got to be
- 6:16Speaker 9: willing to harnish your will and say, in spite of this,
- 6:22Speaker 9: I'm in control here.
- 6:24Speaker 3: I'm not gonna let.
- 6:25Speaker 9: This get me downe I'm not gonna let this destroy me.
- 6:29Speaker 9: I'm coming back and I'll be stronger and better because
- 6:33Speaker 9: of it. You have got to make a declaration. This
- 6:37Speaker 9: is what you stand for. If you're standing up for
- 6:40Speaker 9: your dreams, you're standing up for peace of mind, You're standing.
- 6:43Speaker 2: Up for health.
- 6:46Speaker 9: You want it, and you're gonna go all out to
- 6:49Speaker 9: have it. It's not going to be easy when you
- 6:52Speaker 9: want to change. It's not easy. If it were in
- 6:54Speaker 9: fact easy, everybody will do it.
- 6:56Speaker 1: But if you're serious, you.
- 6:58Speaker 9: Go all out. So yes, I'm going to turn this
- 7:03Speaker 9: situation around. I'm not going to sit back and moan
- 7:06Speaker 9: and cry over what happened and what went and wrong
- 7:08Speaker 9: and who did what. I'm going to do something about
- 7:11Speaker 9: this situation.
- 7:14Speaker 10: One of the most valuable exercises you can engage in
- 7:18Speaker 10: to accomplish any goal you can set for yourself is
- 7:21Speaker 10: to ask yourself, what is my limiting step? What is
- 7:24Speaker 10: the one factor that determines the speed at which I
- 7:27Speaker 10: achieved my goal or whether I achieve it at all.
- 7:30Speaker 10: Your ability to identify your limiting step is one of
- 7:33Speaker 10: the best demonstrations of your intelligence. Your capacity to eliminate
- 7:37Speaker 10: this limiting step is one of the best demonstrations of
- 7:40Speaker 10: your overall competence in achieving anything you want. Self confidence
- 7:46Speaker 10: is critical. In studying everything that has been written or
- 7:49Speaker 10: said about personal success, the conclusion I came to was
- 7:53Speaker 10: that your level of self confidence is probably the critical
- 7:57Speaker 10: factor in everything you accomplish. When you have enough self confidence,
- 8:02Speaker 10: you will try almost anything. Because success is largely a
- 8:06Speaker 10: matter of averages or probabilities, the more things you try,
- 8:10Speaker 10: the more likely it is that you will achieve greatly.
- 8:13Speaker 10: The same is true for you when you set more goals,
- 8:19Speaker 10: try more things. Engage in more activities and explore more opportunities,
- 8:26Speaker 10: your probabilities of success increase dramatically. The only real limiting
- 8:32Speaker 10: step that you might have is your level of self confidence.
- 8:36Speaker 10: When you reach the point at which you believe in
- 8:38Speaker 10: yourself absolutely, the barriers that exist in your external world
- 8:42Speaker 10: will not stop you. The major obstacles to success always
- 8:47Speaker 10: lie within the mind of the individual. They are not
- 8:50Speaker 10: contained in external circumstances, situations, or people. As soon as
- 8:55Speaker 10: you win the inner battle, the outer battle seems to
- 8:59Speaker 10: take care of it self. How do you infuse your
- 9:02Speaker 10: whole life with the kind of self confidence that makes
- 9:05Speaker 10: everything possible for you? The answer is contained in what
- 9:08Speaker 10: I call the four ds, which determine success in anything
- 9:14Speaker 10: you really want to accomplish. The first D is desire.
- 9:20Speaker 10: You must really want to become a totally self confident
- 9:26Speaker 10: human being. You must build up your desire by thinking
- 9:30Speaker 10: about it and talking about it and working on it
- 9:33Speaker 10: all the time. Your desire must become so intense that
- 9:37Speaker 10: it overrides your fears of failure, rejection, and inferiority, and
- 9:41Speaker 10: it becomes the dominant emotion governing your behaviors. Intense desire
- 9:46Speaker 10: is the starting point of all personality modification and goal attainment.
- 9:51Speaker 10: The second day is decision. You must make a do
- 9:55Speaker 10: or die decision that you will go to work on
- 9:58Speaker 10: yourself and keep bat it until you achieve the kind
- 10:02Speaker 10: of self confidence that enables you to do b and
- 10:06Speaker 10: say whatever you want. You must burn your mental bridges.
- 10:11Speaker 10: Many people want things, but they never make the clear,
- 10:16Speaker 10: unequivocal decision that they are going to do what it
- 10:19Speaker 10: takes to get them. The third D is determination. Once
- 10:25Speaker 10: you have started to make significant changes in the way
- 10:28Speaker 10: you act, your internal gyroscope will try to take over
- 10:32Speaker 10: and bring you back into your comfort zone, into your
- 10:35Speaker 10: old ways of acting. Sometimes progress will be slow, and
- 10:40Speaker 10: often you will see no progress at all. Nonetheless, you
- 10:43Speaker 10: must persist in the positive and constructive behaviors that you
- 10:47Speaker 10: know will lead to making you into the kind of
- 10:49Speaker 10: person you wish to become. Your determination must be as
- 10:53Speaker 10: unshakable as the self confidence you desire. The fourth D
- 10:58Speaker 10: is discipline. Underlying and surrounding all great achievement in life
- 11:02Speaker 10: is the quality of self discipline. This is the ability
- 11:06Speaker 10: to make yourself do what you should do when you
- 11:08Speaker 10: should do it, whether you feel like it or not.
- 11:11Speaker 10: Every practice of self discipline strengthens your discipline in every other.
- 11:17Speaker 2: Area of your life.
- 11:19Speaker 10: As Napoleon Hill said after more than twenty years of
- 11:22Speaker 10: research into the lives of successful men and women, self
- 11:25Speaker 10: discipline is the master key to riches. It is self
- 11:31Speaker 10: discipline that makes everything else possible. If you have the
- 11:35Speaker 10: desire to change, the decisiveness to take action, the determination
- 11:40Speaker 10: to persist on your forward track, and the discipline to
- 11:43Speaker 10: make yourself do whatever you need to do, your self
- 11:47Speaker 10: confidence and your success are inevitable.
- 11:52Speaker 11: People have enormous capabilities beyond what's commonly thought to be possible.
- 11:57Speaker 11: The power to tap into our un limited potential is
- 12:01Speaker 11: directly connected to how we define reality, how we view ourselves,
- 12:06Speaker 11: and what believe we can achieve. No matter what is
- 12:10Speaker 11: now or will occur, you can choose right this moment
- 12:14Speaker 11: more empowering meanings for everything in your life. You hold
- 12:19Speaker 11: the power to create a new world for yourself and
- 12:21Speaker 11: those you care about. The mind shift is simple but profound.
- 12:26Speaker 11: Is this the end of something wonderful or the beginning
- 12:29Speaker 11: of something unpleasant? Are you being punished for your failure
- 12:34Speaker 11: or rewarded for your success? The minute you decide to
- 12:37Speaker 11: focus on something you assign it a meaning and infuse
- 12:40Speaker 11: it with feeling. How you define an event produces emotion
- 12:43Speaker 11: and determines your inner feeling state going forward. The meaning
- 12:48Speaker 11: you assign to any event, interaction, or outcome defines the
- 12:51Speaker 11: emotional tone of your experience and the feelings you generate
- 12:55Speaker 11: throughout your life. Meaning equals emotion and emotion equals life.
- 12:59Speaker 11: Meaning you give your experiences will always change how you feel,
- 13:04Speaker 11: and the emotion you feel always becomes the quality of
- 13:07Speaker 11: your life. Our memories are actually anchors to feeling states, images, sounds,
- 13:15Speaker 11: and sensations.
- 13:16Speaker 2: All of these aspects rely on the meaning we give
- 13:19Speaker 2: to them.
- 13:21Speaker 11: The meaning you attached to something produces the emotion of
- 13:24Speaker 11: your life, and your emotion is your life. Meaning equals emotion,
- 13:29Speaker 11: emotion equals life. Write this down or memorize this stanza.
- 13:35Speaker 11: This is the essence to the entire power of meaning.
- 13:38Speaker 11: The meaning you give events, interactions, and outcomes determines how
- 13:43Speaker 11: you feel. Meaning informs your emotional state. By creating a
- 13:48Speaker 11: ladder of positive and empowering meanings, you effectively change the
- 13:52Speaker 11: direction of your life and provide yourself rational, proven reasons
- 13:56Speaker 11: your success will continue.
- 13:59Speaker 2: And it all starts now.
- 14:01Speaker 11: With your decision to become conscious of the meanings you
- 14:05Speaker 11: are constantly creating. This technique is called reframing, and it's
- 14:09Speaker 11: one of the most powerful tools you can use to
- 14:12Speaker 11: improve your psychology. Reframing isn't about pretending a situation is
- 14:17Speaker 11: great when it may not be. Rather, it's about discovering
- 14:22Speaker 11: what could be great, what you could learn by consequence,
- 14:26Speaker 11: or how you can use the situation to create a
- 14:29Speaker 11: better outcome. Perspective is a powerful thing. When you can
- 14:33Speaker 11: reframe a particular experience or interaction, you can often change
- 14:38Speaker 11: what happens as a result. Let's say, for example, your
- 14:42Speaker 11: boss is always yelling at you. Human beings tend to
- 14:46Speaker 11: attach certain meanings to experiences. In actuality, there may be
- 14:52Speaker 11: an infinite number of ways to interpret any experience. We
- 14:57Speaker 11: frame the events in our life based on the ways
- 15:00Speaker 11: we've decided to perceive similar experiences in the past. Forming
- 15:04Speaker 11: habitual patterns we repeat throughout our entire live. Are your
- 15:08Speaker 11: patterns helping or harming you? It's vital to remember that
- 15:12Speaker 11: our perceptions are creative in nature. If we define something
- 15:17Speaker 11: as negative, that's the message our brain receives and responds
- 15:22Speaker 11: to by creating an emotional state to reinforce that reality.
- 15:27Speaker 11: The quality of your life is the quality of your
- 15:29Speaker 11: communication with yourself as well as with others. Reframing is
- 15:35Speaker 11: the difference between being constantly disappointed and being consistently satisfied.
- 15:42Speaker 11: By stacking positive interpretations one after the other, you become
- 15:46Speaker 11: the author of the success story of your own life.
- 15:50Speaker 11: How would you feel at bedtime if every day turned
- 15:52Speaker 11: out to be ideal, interesting, or even amazing.
- 15:57Speaker 2: It's closer than you think.
- 15:59Speaker 11: Start harnis your innate ability to supercharge your emotions, empower
- 16:04Speaker 11: your decisions, and elevate your life today through the power
- 16:08Speaker 11: of meaning.
