- 0:31Speaker 1: I would close my eyes and I would visualize the
- 0:35Speaker 1: faces of my two children, and I closed my I
- 0:38Speaker 1: I'd see their faces, and I knew I would let
- 0:40Speaker 1: them down so badly, cause them so much pain. And
- 0:43Speaker 1: I said, there was nothing I won't do. There's no
- 0:46Speaker 1: length I won't go with the food for these kids
- 0:47Speaker 1: that their dad can do it right, that Dad's going

- 1:16Speaker 1: shades the.
- 1:17Speaker 2: Family tree forever in my family out of the one.
- 1:19Speaker 2: And it wasn't because I wanted it or I hoped

- 1:30Speaker 2: proud of me. I want me proud of me. I
- 1:33Speaker 2: want to look at the mayor and be helping me
- 1:35Speaker 2: with the man. I look back at it that he
- 1:37Speaker 2: gave it everything, that he went for it.
- 1:41Speaker 3: That is you. That is you, that no one can
- 1:45Speaker 3: do it for you but you. And even though you
- 1:47Speaker 3: face disappointments, even though you will experience some setbacks.
- 1:51Speaker 2: It goes with the territory.
- 1:54Speaker 3: You must understand that.
- 1:57Speaker 2: But here's the truth.
- 1:58Speaker 3: Most people's threa can be bossed.
- 2:01Speaker 1: With enough failure, with enough rejection, they will sell their dreams.
- 2:06Speaker 4: They can't sell fighting.
- 2:08Speaker 3: They can get a little bit, but when it gains
- 2:10Speaker 3: one of you out ther pone so by.
- 2:11Speaker 2: The dreams that you're having.
- 2:12Speaker 1: It's not working.
- 2:13Speaker 2: For me, and they're willing to win as buyable.
- 2:16Speaker 5: You can fight it, but if you decide it by
- 2:18Speaker 5: wail cannot be bobed.
- 2:20Speaker 2: I don't care how.
- 2:21Speaker 5: Long it's say you can't fight this du that I'll
- 2:24Speaker 5: pep fighting for my family.
- 2:25Speaker 2: I go what I'm gonna change my family dream forever.
- 2:30Speaker 2: That's your decision to start.
- 2:31Speaker 5: Now.
- 2:31Speaker 2: You need to go cheat the light and you not
- 2:33Speaker 2: be bothered.
- 2:35Speaker 4: When people die or people get sick, when something happens
- 2:38Speaker 4: in your life. If all you're doing it for is
- 2:40Speaker 4: a car and a house, that can stop you.
- 2:42Speaker 5: But if you're doing it for your mom, for your siblings,
- 2:45Speaker 5: for your family, for your community, and.
- 2:47Speaker 2: Nothin can stop you.
- 2:49Speaker 4: Who cannot be broken when you have an intrinsic goal
- 2:53Speaker 4: when you're doing it.
- 2:53Speaker 2: Because you value it, when you're doing it because you
- 2:56Speaker 2: can't when you're.
- 2:57Speaker 5: Doing it because it represents who you are. When this
- 3:01Speaker 5: internal nothing can stop you. When you leave this room,
- 3:06Speaker 5: you can't talk with every single thing. I don't care
- 3:08Speaker 5: where you come from, I don't care what's your background.
- 3:11Speaker 5: Is the everbody fools you if you will on the
- 3:13Speaker 5: ground on Monday.
- 3:14Speaker 2: If you will on the ground, will to can stop you.
- 3:17Speaker 5: I don't have to accept the life that was given
- 3:19Speaker 5: to me.
- 3:20Speaker 2: I can create my own reality.
- 3:31Speaker 6: This paradigm concept is pretty powerful. To be able to
- 3:36Speaker 6: shape your future, you have to be willing and able
- 3:39Speaker 6: to change the paradigm. Now you see, we're all able,
- 3:44Speaker 6: but we're not all willing. We're not all willing to
- 3:47Speaker 6: study the same thing over and over.
- 3:49Speaker 2: And over and over and over and over and again.
- 3:54Speaker 2: I mentioned about till goldfiring. He he came to see me.
- 4:04Speaker 6: He'd heard about me, and he phoned and he wanted
- 4:06Speaker 6: to come and see me. That was twenty years ago.
- 4:11Speaker 6: Every time I'm doing a seminar.
- 4:13Speaker 2: He's here. I tell him to take a book and
- 4:16Speaker 2: study this book. He studies it.
- 4:19Speaker 6: I was talking to him yesterday and I was telling
- 4:20Speaker 6: him about this one piece of literature I'm reading. I
- 4:23Speaker 6: had it on my phone, so I sent it to him.
- 4:26Speaker 6: I have no question in my mind he will study
- 4:28Speaker 6: that little piece of literature. He didn't quite know why
- 4:34Speaker 6: I was tell him to do it, but he found
- 4:36Speaker 6: out it worked, so he never stopped.
- 4:37Speaker 2: He just kept doing it. And that's the way it
- 4:38Speaker 2: was with me. What you have to do is totally illogical.
- 4:44Speaker 2: Logic stops most people. See.
- 4:47Speaker 6: It was logic to stop people trying to figure out
- 4:49Speaker 6: how to fly. The Wright brothers were being totally illogical.
- 4:56Speaker 6: You're going to find that logic stops most people. It's
- 5:00Speaker 6: illogical to keep reading the same book over and over
- 5:04Speaker 6: and over again relative to the way we've been trained. Well,
- 5:13Speaker 6: if we've got it right, our results are always under construction.
- 5:17Speaker 2: Always we should forever be trying to improve. I don't
- 5:21Speaker 2: care how good you get at it. You can get better.
- 5:25Speaker 2: Better is the next word. I love it.
- 5:28Speaker 6: Do no matter how well you're doing, you can do better.
- 5:31Speaker 6: Now there's the question you gotta ask yourself, are you ready?
- 5:39Speaker 6: Am I really ready?
- 5:42Speaker 2: You see, when Ray give me that book, I was ready. Now,
- 5:47Speaker 2: if you had to ask me if I'm ready, I
- 5:49Speaker 2: wouldn't have known. But I really wanted to change. I
- 5:54Speaker 2: was so sick of live the way I was living.
- 5:57Speaker 2: I wanted to change. I wanted to change all kinds
- 5:59Speaker 2: of things.
- 6:01Speaker 6: As he told me, he said, you can change your environment.
- 6:06Speaker 6: I didn't consciously and deliberately change who I was mixing with,
- 6:11Speaker 6: but I automatically did. I started to mix with a
- 6:14Speaker 6: totally different group of people. We're attracted to people that
- 6:18Speaker 6: are much like ourselves, and if we want to change,
- 6:22Speaker 6: we've got to start surrounding ourselves with the different people.
- 6:26Speaker 6: Charlie tremendous Jones was a great speaker. Good man, God,
- 6:29Speaker 6: I like that guy. He's gone now. But he said, houstaphone.
- 6:35Speaker 2: Truman's Bob, how are you? And he was a wild
- 6:40Speaker 2: man when he's speaking.
- 6:42Speaker 6: He said, we are the product of the books we
- 6:45Speaker 6: read and the people we associate with.
- 6:47Speaker 2: Simple rule, And he's right. Well that you have to
- 6:52Speaker 2: ask yourself, am I ready?
- 6:54Speaker 3: You can't develop in manifest your greatness.
- 6:56Speaker 2: You can't be a high achiever if you.
- 6:58Speaker 3: Don't feel good. Take care of yourself. So I'm taking
- 7:02Speaker 3: care of me, and you know what. It takes the
- 7:04Speaker 3: edge off your life.
- 7:05Speaker 2: It helps you to manage things.
- 7:07Speaker 3: Rather than allowing them to manage you. Gives you more
- 7:12Speaker 3: personal power to deal with stuff.
- 7:15Speaker 2: Take care of you.
- 7:18Speaker 3: Now, here's something else I suggest for you.
- 7:21Speaker 7: Become aware of what your needs are and develop compassion
- 7:25Speaker 7: towards yourself despite.
- 7:26Speaker 2: Your human defects.
- 7:30Speaker 7: Develop compassion for yourself despite.
- 7:33Speaker 2: Your human defense.
- 7:35Speaker 3: You will never be perfect.
- 7:38Speaker 2: Hello, you will never be perfect. You're human.
- 7:42Speaker 3: You've made a lot of mistakes. You've done a lot
- 7:45Speaker 3: of dumb, stupid things. Guess what You're not through yet.
- 7:52Speaker 2: You got to do some more. Hurry up and get
- 7:54Speaker 2: it over with. Is that right?
- 7:58Speaker 3: Got to learn to be gentle with yourself.
- 8:03Speaker 2: Make it all right.
- 8:04Speaker 3: What you don't know, mistakes that you make, it's okay.
- 8:08Speaker 3: Handle it.
- 8:08Speaker 7: Learn from the experience. Decide that you are going to
- 8:16Speaker 7: whatever you become involved in. To be upfront, to be
- 8:20Speaker 7: true to yourself. Are you getting what you need out
- 8:22Speaker 7: of it? And be upfront with people and tell them
- 8:25Speaker 7: what you need from them. Don't assume that they know.
- 8:30Speaker 7: Don't say I thought you knew. No, tell people upfront,
- 8:34Speaker 7: here's what I need from this in order for this
- 8:36Speaker 7: to work for me. Be upfront with your stuff. Tell
- 8:40Speaker 7: them upfront so they are not surprised later on, so
- 8:45Speaker 7: your feelings.
- 8:45Speaker 2: Aren't hurt later on.
- 8:46Speaker 3: See if they tell you upfront, they can't do it
- 8:48Speaker 3: now you know you can keep on stepping.
- 8:51Speaker 2: But tell people upfront, here's what I want in order
- 8:54Speaker 2: for me to play this game with you.
- 8:55Speaker 3: If you're gonna dance, this is what I gotta get
- 8:57Speaker 3: out of it.
- 8:58Speaker 2: See if you don't take care of your knee.
- 9:00Speaker 3: Guess what, you will always have that nagging song in
- 9:03Speaker 3: the back of your mind said, when do I get mine?
- 9:07Speaker 3: What am I gonna start enjoying this and we're gonna
- 9:09Speaker 3: have a good time together? Do I get any utles
- 9:12Speaker 3: out of this at all? You just start asking that question.
- 9:16Speaker 3: Everybody's happening having a good time, but you, They said, well,
- 9:20Speaker 3: we thought you were happy. How could you think that way?
- 9:23Speaker 3: You weren't saying anything. Well, I'm saying something now.
- 9:27Speaker 2: I hope you got that.
- 9:32Speaker 3: See, we're taught to be quiet and not speak up
- 9:37Speaker 3: for ourselves, not to be selfish. If you don't take
- 9:41Speaker 3: care of you, who do you think is gonna take
- 9:43Speaker 3: care of you. Who's gonna look out for you better.
- 9:45Speaker 2: Than you will? No one, No one's gonna do that.
- 9:49Speaker 2: You got a business, No one's gonna take care of
- 9:51Speaker 2: your business better than you.
- 9:53Speaker 3: Nobody, nobody. Anything you want to do in life, you've
- 9:56Speaker 3: got to take ownership of it and say, hey, I'm
- 9:57Speaker 3: gonna make this happens. Be willing to venture out and
- 10:00Speaker 3: do something that you have fantasize about doing, and you
- 10:06Speaker 3: know you probably won't be good at it, But do
- 10:08Speaker 3: it anyhow, case in point, I have always wanted to
- 10:13Speaker 3: see I've always wanted to do that. I'm gonna sing
- 10:18Speaker 3: a song. If I don't do nothing but just a
- 10:21Speaker 3: few lines, chances are over you
