• 0:23

• 0:29
  Good morning from the When's the last time that you use the
• 0:34
  phrase? Well, I'll do that.
• 0:36
  When whatever that may be. You know, we are constant.
• 0:41
  We can substitute any word in there.
• 0:42
  But we're constantly saying, well I'll get to that when or
• 0:45
  I'll do that when and we put things off and we wait, it's
• 0:49
  like, oh, I'll get a puppy when we do this or I will, you know,
• 0:55
  sit down and take the time to read a book when I finished it
• 0:58
  at a de whatever you to slot in there.
• 1:02
  I think it's become too commonplace for us to constantly
• 1:07
  be saying to ourselves. Well, I'm going to just put it
• 1:10
  till here or I'll do it there. I'll take the vacation when this
• 1:14
  happens. Now, sometimes you have to do
• 1:16
  that jokingly, I say this because my son just said, oh, he
• 1:19
  wants to go on this trip and he and my son is not a
• 1:22
  fantastically well, versed eater.
• 1:25
  He very much likes. His simple food, not that I feed
• 1:29
  him like Add food at all. But he is one of these kids that
• 1:33
  likes cheese and meat. He just does not love
• 1:36
  vegetables. I mean, me getting a banana into
• 1:38
  him as a big deal and I have to push for it every day.
• 1:42
  He's just never been that guy. And I know he'll eventually be
• 1:45
  that guy. So, I'm patient because
• 1:48
  everybody turns around at some point.
• 1:50
  I've only met one person in my life who was still a, grown
• 1:53
  adult man and could only eat, you know, macaroni and cheese
• 1:57
  with hot dogs in it. And that was interesting.
• 2:00
  But that's another story. So he asked me if we could go on
• 2:05
  vacation and I said, well, I can't take you to that
• 2:08
  particular place that you want to go on vacation because you
• 2:11
  don't eat a variety of foods. And when we get over there,
• 2:15
  they're going to have foods that you don't recognize.
• 2:17
  So you're going to have to eat other Foods.
• 2:20
  So we can go on that vacation when and then you know, you
• 2:24
  decide to eat. And I heard myself saying it and
• 2:26
  I was like, wow, how many times do we do that?
• 2:29
  And it's legitimate and Many times do we do it that?
• 2:31
  It's just completely, you know, ridiculous way to hold ourselves
• 2:36
  off. We have to realize that when we
• 2:38
  pull that card and we start to talk about it, we have to be
• 2:41
  careful because most of the time it's not a legitimate excuse.
• 2:47
  It's not something that's real. It's a made-up excuse that just
• 2:51
  says well you know I've put myself into this box that is
• 2:58
  holding me back for instance. I think it's like, I'll be happy
• 3:02
  when I get this done. That phrase.
• 3:04
  Oh my God. I can't tell you how much I hear
• 3:06
  that come out of people's mouths.
• 3:08
  I hear when I'm not even coaching, I can hear it.
• 3:12
  When I heard it the other day, was I'm in the store.
• 3:14
  I was shopping with for stuff from my son for him to go
• 3:18
  camping and all of a sudden I heard this woman say, well I'll
• 3:21
  be happy when you're done Dada to the her husband partner,
• 3:25
  whatever he was. And I thought to myself, well
• 3:28
  this is such a chronic problem. It's everywhere.
• 3:32
  We tell ourselves that we tell other people that and there's no
• 3:35
  way to win around those comments.
• 3:37
  If you're if you're saying I'm going to delay my happiness
• 3:41
  until this takes place or I'm going to delay this trip or
• 3:46
  whatever it might be until this. So you have to decide.
• 3:50
  First of all is it legitimate in my case?
• 3:53
  I stand by, it was legitimate. But I've done it myself a
• 3:56
  million times where it's not legitimate.
• 3:58
  I'll be happy when I get this Garden.
• 4:00
  I shall be happy when these grow this way.
• 4:02
  I'll be happy when I have this, you know, thing done in my
• 4:06
  chicken coop that I want to do, but the truth is, I can be happy
• 4:10
  anyway. The truth is I don't have to
• 4:12
  wait for any of that to happen. I can just choose happiness and
• 4:16
  I say this often and I want to drill this into you guys.
• 4:20
  You don't have to be happy when you can be happy anyway.
• 4:26
  Despite everything that's going on, you can be happy, I have
• 4:30
  met. Many, many, many, many people in
• 4:32
  my life, very blessed through all my work at Tony Robbins to
• 4:36
  meet many people who had challenges that some of us will
• 4:39
  never ever face. Most of us will never ever faced
• 4:42
  and those people were happy anyway.
• 4:45
  They just chose Joy, they chose happiness, they chose love, they
• 4:49
  chose all these awesome ways to be and they certainly had no
• 4:53
  reason to. They could have just stayed the
• 4:55
  way that they were. They could have stayed the way
• 4:57
  that they were miserable. And You know down on themselves
• 5:02
  down on life but you know what, they didn't what they did was
• 5:05
  they said I'm just going to be happy and I'll deal with all
• 5:08
  this crap. Anyway and for me it was such a
• 5:12
  great lesson and reminder that we have to choose it.
• 5:16
  We must choose it. We must choose to find the joy.
• 5:20
  We must choose to do the things that are difficult to do which
• 5:25
  is choosing that in spite of everything else and not saying
• 5:28
  I'm going to delay it. Till this happens, why would we
• 5:33
  delay happiness? Why would we delay Joy?
• 5:35
  Why would we put a delay on anything wonderful in our life?
• 5:38
  Why not just go ahead and say, you know what, I'm just going to
• 5:42
  do it. I'm just going to have it.
• 5:43
  I'm going to put it out there for myself because I know how
• 5:46
  important it is. I think it's a worthwhile
• 5:50
  Endeavor to push yourself and say no I'm not going to postpone
• 5:55
  anything anymore. That causes me to not find what
• 6:00
  I'm looking. Looking for, I'm going to go out
• 6:02
  there and I'm going to push myself whether it's happiness or
• 6:04
  Joy, or, you know, love or saying, hey, I've always wanted
• 6:09
  to jump in and do this. I've always wanted to try it.
• 6:11
  If there's something that you've always wanted to try to do like
• 6:13
  play the guitar, oh, I'll do that.
• 6:14
  When I retire, trust me, you don't want to wait because you
• 6:17
  don't know. If you'll ever have the gift of
• 6:19
  retirement, you don't know if you'll ever have the gift of the
• 6:22
  next phase because life is full of uncertainties.
• 6:25
  So why, wait, why postpone things?
• 6:27
  Why not just push yourself to the place of saying.
• 6:31
  You know whether it's the small things or the big things going
• 6:34
  to ask myself why am I postponing this?
• 6:37
  Is it legitimate or not? Stop postponing and find it.
• 6:41
  Put yourself out there because I promise you you don't want to be
• 6:44
  the person who says, at the end of their life.
• 6:46
  I wish I had because that sucks. All right, my friends.
• 6:50
  I will see you tomorrow. Take care and have a very
• 6:53
  blessed day. Bye.
