  Speaker 1: it's dark. You've got no cottilage in your knave. You
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: keep talking, You've got these problems, right I.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Need you to keep talking about what you were just saying.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: It's warm on the couch, your missus say is staying bad.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: It's comfy, it's cozy. You've got work later on. You
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: had an argument last night, you're slightly hungover.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: God, I know every motherfucker I ain't gonna do what
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna do. So this is how you level up.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: I know there's a whole bunch of people with that
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: right there that fires me up, that makes me fing happy.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: What you just said that brings Jordan my life right there,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: because I know there's so many people that have the
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: ability and just refuse to get off that couch, refuse
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: to study a few more hours, refuse to go deeper.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: To go further.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: And that's where I gained the advantage.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: It's so easy to be.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Great nowadays, my friend, because most people are weak. Most
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: people don't want to go to that extra mile. Most
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: people don't want to find that extra because it sucks,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: it's miserable, it's lonely. Now I've been thriving it. That's
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: the only place to be.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Some of you in the past, you've gotten momentum, you've
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: gotten passionate, you've even made a decision. But a decision
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: is the first step. Decision is like a war. I
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: gotta do this or that. All right, I'm gonna make
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: myself do this. But commitment is when you now, after
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: you've decided, you commit to do this for the long term.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Whether it's hard or easy doesn't matter. You're doing this.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: It takes it from this moment and it carries it
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: into the future, even when things are difficult and the
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: third state is resolved. Resolved means it's done. It's like
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: it doesn't even if you took action, it's done inside you.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: So it's gone out there. There's no question whatsoever.
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: That it's necessary for us to begin to look at
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: the future. Know that it's possible that we can have
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: our dream.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Yes it is. Other people have.
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: Done it, then we can do it.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: We fail a lot of times, we're a lot.
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: Of other folks there, and eventually they came back.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: And they succeeded. So it's possible we can.
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: Have what we want.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: And we know that we want to get it.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: It's necessary that we allow ourselves with people that think
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: like we do.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: It's necessary we get negative.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: Do nothing people out of our lives. It's necessary we
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: never stop learning and growing and developing ourselves. It's necessary
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: that we never give up. We know that it's you,
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: it's me. It's being responsible for our stuff and deciding
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: that we're gonna keep on keeping on, that we're gonna
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: find a way to win or find a way to
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: make it happen.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: And we know it's hard. It's not gonna be a picnic. Yes,
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: it's hard.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: It's hard, and we will.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: Do it hard.
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: And once it's we do it hard, we go through,
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: we realize it was worth it. And once you discover
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: it was worth it, it.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Is one big thing is a lot of people. It's
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: hard to imagine, but you have to learn how to fail.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: I have big dreams. A lot of us have big dreams,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: big goals. And when you have goals that are maybe
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: outside your reach, you have to know that getting to
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: that goal, you can have a lot of bad days,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: a lot of setbacks. So like I was losing one
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: hundred and six pounds in three months, the first two
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: months or the first two weeks. It's like I was
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: gaining weight. You know, I would lose a pound game two.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: So I was just failing. I kept failing and kept
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: failing and kept failing. So I had to teach myself
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: how to fail right. And what that means is when
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: I fail, I can't spend much time in that fail zone.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: I have to be able to get up and get
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: after the next day just as fast because my goals
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: would you know, to be a Navy seal, I don't
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: have time to stay here and feel back myself for
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: weeks and months in years, because I'll lose that time.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: So the big thing is to know that if you
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: have big goals and big dreams along the way, failure
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: is going to happen. So how fast do you get
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: up from that? And you got to teach yourself that.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: But the biggest key to success in anything you do
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: is you got to have an unlimited supply of fucking
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: you this drive and passion, and it may come from
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: nothing Like for me, there was no passion, no drive,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: no nothing, But I had this fire that I'm gonna
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: be somebody and it has to be there because on
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: all those bad days and all those days you don't
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: want to do. You have to be your own motivator,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: your own coach, you own your own trainer, your own everything.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: So to do that, you have to come into work,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: and work is whatever your work may be ready to go.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: And what that means is you may have failed miserably yesterday,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: but you come to work like.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: People like man, you just lost everything.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: How the hell are you just sucking damn motivated? Because
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: this is what it takes. This is what the fuck
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: it takes, and you got to get it from wherever
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: you can, whether you make up this illusion of your
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: life or this false reality that gets you motivated, whatever
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: gets you motivated, it's going to be here at the
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: tip of your brain at all times, because in those
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: dark moments, you got to pull it out. So that's
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: the big thing for me, Man, I was always fired
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: up at all times.
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: Not just that every day more of our life is
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: used up and less and less of it is left,
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: but this too. If we live longer, can we be
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: sure our mind will still be up to understanding the world,
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: to the contemplation that aims at divine and human knowledge.
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: If our mind starts to wander, we'll still go on
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: breathing go on, eating, imagine things, feeling urges, and so on,
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: but getting the most out of ourselves, calculating where our
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: duty lies, analyzing what we hear and see, deciding whether
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: it's time to call it quits. All the things you
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: need a healthy mind for. All those are gone. So
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: we need to hurry, not just because we move daily
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: closer to death, but also because our understanding, our grasp
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: of the world, may be gone before we get there.
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: Don't waste the rest of your time here worrying about
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: other people unless it affects the common good. It will
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: keep you from doing anything useful. You'll be too preoccupied
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: with what so and so is doing and why, and
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: what they're saying, and what they're thinking and what they're
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: up to, and all the other things that throw you
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: off and keep you from focusing on your own mind.
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: You need to avoid certain things in your train of thought,
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: everything random, everything irrelevant, and certainly everything self important or malicious.
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: You need to get used to winnowing your thoughts so
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: that if someone says, what are you thinking about, you
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: can respond at once and truthfully that you are thinking
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: this or thinking that, and it would be obvious at
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: once from your answer that your thoughts were straightforward and considerate.
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: Once the thoughts of an unselfish person, one unconcerned with
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: pleasure and with sensual indulgence, generally with squabbling, with slander
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: and envy, or anything else, you'd be ashamed to be
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: caught thinking someone like that. Someone who refuses to put
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: off joining the elect is a kind of priest, a
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: servant of the gods, in touch with what is within
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: him and what can keeps a person undefiled by pleasures,
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: invulnerable to any pain, untouched by arrogance, unaffected by meanness,
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: an athlete in the greatest of all contests, the struggle
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: not to be overwhelmed by anything that happens, with what
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: leaves us died indelibly by justice, welcoming wholeheartedly whatever comes,
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: whatever we're assigned, not worrying too often or with any
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: selfish motive about what other people say, or do or think.
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: He does only what is his to do, and considers
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: constantly what the world has in store for him, doing
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: his best and trusting that all is for the best,
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: for we carry our fate with us, and it carries us.
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: He keeps in mind that all rational things are related,
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: and that to care for all human beings is part
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: of being human, which doesn't mean we have to share
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: their appearinions. We should listen only to those whose lives
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: conform to nature and the others. He bears in mind
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: what sort of people they are, both at home and
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: abroad by night as well as day, and who they
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: spend their time with, and he cares nothing for their
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: praise men who can't even meet their own standards. How
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: to act, never under compulsion, out of selfishness, without forethought,
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: with misgivings. Don't gussie up your thoughts, no surplus words
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: or unnecessary actions. Let the spirit in you represent a man,
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: an adult, a citizen, a roman, a ruler, taking up
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: his post like a soldier and patiently awaiting his recall
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: from life, needing no oath or witness, cheerfulness without requiring
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: other people's help, or serenity supplied by others, to stand
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: up straight, not straitened. Nothing is more pathetic than people
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: who run around in circles, delving into the things that
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: lie beneath and conducting investigations into the souls of the
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: people around them, never realizing that all you have to
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: do is to be attentive to the power inside you,
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: and worship it sincerely. To worship it is to keep
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: it from being muddied with turmoil and becoming aimless and
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: dissatisfied with nature divine and human. What is divine deserves
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: our respect because it is good. What is human deserves
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: our affection because it is like us, and our pity too,
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: sometimes for its inability to tell good from bad as
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: terrible a blindness, as the kind that can't tell white
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: from black. Even if you're going to live three thousand
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: more years or ten times that, remember you cannot lose
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: another life than the one you're living now, or live
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: another one than the one you're losing. The longest amounts
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: to the same as the shortest. The present is the
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: same for everyone. Its loss is the same for everyone.
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: And it should be clear that a brief instant is
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: all that is lost. For you can't lose either the
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: past or the future. How could you lose what you
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: don't have? Remember two things, that everything has always been
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: the same and keeps recurring. And it makes no difference
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: whether you see the same things recur in one hundred
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: years or two hundred or in an infinite period. That
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: the longest lived and those who will die soonest lose
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: the same thing. The present is all that they can
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: give up. Since that is all you have and what
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: you do not have you cannot lose.
• 12:04
  Speaker 7: Pick up your damn suffering and bear it and try
• 12:09
  Speaker 7: to be a good person so you don't make it worse.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: Well, that's a truth, you know.
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: I read a lot about the terrible things that people
• 12:21
  Speaker 7: have done to each other. You just cannot even imagine
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: it so awful. So you don't want to be someone
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: like that. Now, do you have a reason to be Yes,
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: you have lots.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: Of reasons to be.
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: God, there's reasons to be resentful about your existence.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: Everyone you know is gonna die.
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: You know you too, and there's gonna be a fair
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: bit of pain along the way, and lots of it's
• 12:44
  Speaker 7: gonna be unfair. It's like, yeah, no, wonder you're resentful.
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: It's like act it out and see what happens. You
• 12:51
  Speaker 7: make everything you're complaining about infinitely worse. There's this idea
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: that hell is a bottomless pit, and that's because no
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: matter how bad is some stupid son of it like
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: you could figure out a way to make it a
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: lot worse. So you think, well, what do you do
• 13:07
  Speaker 7: about that, Well, you accept it. That's what life is like.
• 13:11
  Speaker 7: It's suffering. That's what the religious people have always said.
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: Life is suffering. Yes, well, who wants to admit that? Well,
• 13:20
  Speaker 7: just think about it. Well, so what do you do
• 13:22
  Speaker 7: in the face of that suffering? Try to reduce it?
• 13:28
  Speaker 7: Start with yourself? What good are you? Get yourself together
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: for Christ's sake? So that when your father dies you're
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: not whining away in a corner, and you can help
• 13:35
  Speaker 7: plan the funeral and you can stand up solidly so
• 13:39
  Speaker 7: that people can rely on you.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: That's better. It will be a damn victim.
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: Of course you're a victim Jesus obviously, put yourself together.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: And then maybe if you put yourself together, you know
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: how to do that.
• 13:53
  Speaker 7: You know what's wrong with you, if you'll admit it,
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: you know there's a few things you could, like polish
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: up a little bit that you might even be able
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: to your insufficient present condition.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: How do you overcome the suffering of life is be
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: a better person. That's how you do it. Well, that's hard.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: It takes responsibility.
• 14:13
  Speaker 7: And I think you know, if you said to someone
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: you want to have a meaningful life, everything you do
• 14:18
  Speaker 7: matters that's the definition of a meaningful life. But everything
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: you do matters. It's you gonna have to carry that
• 14:25
  Speaker 7: with you or do you want to just forget about
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: the whole meaning thing? And then you don't have any
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: responsibility because who the hell cares? And you can wander
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: through life doing whatever you want, gratifying impulsive desires for
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: how well useful that's going to be, and you're stuck
• 14:41
  Speaker 7: in meaninglessness, but you don't have any responsibility.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: Which one do you want? Well ask yourself which one
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: are you pursuing?
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: And you'll find very rapidly that it isn't the majority
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: of your soul that's pursuing the whole meaning thing, because well,
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: look what.
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: You have to do. To do that.
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: You have to take on the fact that life is suffering.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: You have to put yourself together in the face of that. Well,
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: that's hard.
