  Speaker 2: only at forty percent of what we.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Are capable of.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Here, I am right. I did do this race called

  Speaker 2: races in the world. What came up Crazy race and
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Death Valley, summertime, hundred thirty five miles. I knew nothing
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: about ultra running. I thought you would, like, you know,
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: camp out run twenty miles.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Then one day they run twenty miles again, so he
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: got a hundred thirty five miles.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Had no idea what I was doing. Called the race
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: director up. He's like, hey, have you run one hundred miles?
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: I was like, what in a week or what we
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: talking about. He's like, no, in twenty four hours or less.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: I said no.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: He goes, you got qualified to get in this race.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: You have to run one hundred miles in twenty four
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: hours or less. He was trying to call my bluff.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I call him up on a Wednesday.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: He goes, hey, there's a race in San Diego.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: On Saturday where it's a twenty four hour race where
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: you running around you know, a track, a one mile
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: track for twenty four hours, and if you get one
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: hundred miles, I will consider you in my race. It
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: really helps to be smart people. And I was not
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: smart in this situation. I so I did the math.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: It's about a.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Fourteen something mini mile. I can do that.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Anyway. I show up on Saturday with the Blue Launch Air,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Rich Crackers, mile Plex and my ex wife, and every
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: mile I'm gonna see her. I'm gonna grab some rich
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Crackers and some mile Plex. I know what the hell
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: I'm doing, but it's bliss. The whole ignorance is bliss thing.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: So I get to seventy miles pretty damn fast. I
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: get seventy miles and like twelve thirteen hours.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: We think happens to your body? We have a trained
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: for that kind of mileage. A lot of bad things.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: My tho. I was in good shape.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: It's amazing.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: So I haven't gone to the bathroom at all. I
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: sit down, big mistake. I sit down this Blue Launch Air.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: I sit down looking at my xife. I'm seeing like
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: three or four of her.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, hush, this is not good.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: So I'm trying to play it off because I know
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: where I'm about to go. So I'm sitting there and
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: when you haven't gone to the bathroom, you're dehydrated, your nutrition.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Is all jacked up. You sit down.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: You gotta go to the bathroom now. So I look
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: at my ex wife and go, do you love me?
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: She said, yes, Why I go cause I'm gonna take
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: a shell of myself right now because I can't stand
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: up and my blood.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Pressures all messed up.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: So I'm sitting there literally pooping up my back and
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: peeing blood down my leg.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: She's a nurse, so she's concerned. And I'm telling you
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: right now, this is one thing you never want to
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: hear as a black person.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: She said, You're starting to turn white.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: So I'm sitting there and I'm all.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Jacked up, and I'm like, Okay, how in the world
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: am I gonna I got thirty miles to go.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I should quit, but I didn't. When I started doing through.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: This whole process was I started to study myself in
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: the dark times. So instead of just quitting real fast,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: I said, no, I'm going to quit, but not right now.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: So I sat back for a second, and I said,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: let me get some water, let me hydrate, let me
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: clean myself up.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: A little, let me get some nutrition. I wasn't dizzy.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: It's okay, my feet are all messed up. Let me
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: see if I can walk. I'm gonna walk one mile
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: and then I'll go home.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: That'd be a great accomplishment for me, seventy one miles.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: So I took this massive thing and I started breaking it.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Down in the small chunks.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: And as I started breaking it down to small chunks,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I started realizing, maybe.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I'll walk one more mile.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: But at the pace I was walking, I wasn't gonna
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: make the time. So this is when I realized that
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: whole forty percent rule. Those of you who were you
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: know red, can't hurt me. You understand it, basically, the
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: forty percent rules. When we have a governor on our brains,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: like a governor on a car.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: A car may say one thirty, but if you put
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: a governor on a car.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: And can only go one oh one, we do the
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: same thing to our brains. I was born with limited horizons,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: born on our side of the tracks. I didn't think
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I could be anybody. So my governor was myself. So
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: once you take that governor off, you have limitless horizons.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: I think one of the most important parts about the
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: way you express yourself in your books is that you
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: do talk about your weaknesses, and you do talk about
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: your past and how you started off on this journey,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: and you talk about how they're those moments that you
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: doubt yeah and you but you still go oh.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah sometimes, like you know, I call it, uh, you
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: got called audible.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: You know the line of screamers.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Man, Like some of the great quarterbacks, they'll be at
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: the line of screamers and they'll look at the defense.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: The defense is off. Defense is shifting the call on audible.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: In my mind a lot of times, man, I'm like,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: it doesn't mean I quit. I don't quit. You know,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I may not make it the first time, but I'll
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: come back.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: I got call audible. I gotta get my head back
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: in the game. I gotta I gotta figure this out.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: It doesn't mean you it means you study it more.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: It means you study it more. And and whenever I
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: feel that something, people are saying, Man, how do you
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: handle failure?
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: Man?
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: I feel a lot dude, I feel all the fucking
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: time they go, how do you handle it? What I'm
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: trying to do? And this isn't being arrogant, man, it's
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: being real. Not many people are trying to do. So
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: there's not many people who can even open their mouth
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: and criticize me when I do fail because I'm on.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to do man, that many people aren't trying
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: to do. But I don't look at failure as failure.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I look at failure as your first, second, third, fourth,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: fifth attempt. I look at them as attempts. I don't
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: look at anything as failure because when you're willing to
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: try to do something, not trying is failure. That's and
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: that's not some after school special. But when you're able
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: to go out there, there is no failure.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: It's attempts.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Because when you're trying to do something that's bigger than you,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: whatever you are, whoever you are. If if you're paralyzed,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: you're trying to walk one step and you did it,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: you didn't fail.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Mother.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's your first attempt, If that's your biggest thing,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: that's how your mindset needs to go into everything. So
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: I don't look at it as failure as a big
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: word that gets people down, and we give so much
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: power to words.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I don't I take the power right away. I didn't
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: feel shit.
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: In the end, God gives you exactly what you deserve.
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: So if you're not happy with your life, you have
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: to ask yourself, do you really deserve more? Have you
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: really tried one hundred percent of the time? Did you
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: ignore that headache? Are you as competent as you could
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: possibly be? Have you given one hundred percent every time
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: you've done anything? No, you deserve what you have. You
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: deserve your mediocracy because you're an average person. You want
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: a lambeau and these women in a boat and whatever
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: else you want because you see on Instagram. But wanting
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: something and deserving something are very different things. If you
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: truly deserved it, you'd be working for it in a
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: way that ensures it would be given to you by
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: the universe.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: You need to learn how to romanticize your suffering. The
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: beautiful burn of a long run, the death stare of
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: a blank page, loss, failure, heart break. There are feelings
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: so rare, so real, you can only get them through pain.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: Life is empty without them. Love is dull, art is soulless.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: Goals are worthless. Your best work lies beyond your worst days.
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: So don't hide away from the dark place. Live in it,
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: soak in it, feel everything. Because the hot are the fire,
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: the brighter, the burn intensity is not meant to stay
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: inside you. It needs to escape somewhere, to something, a craft,
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: a sport, a mission, an unstoppable obsession that turns your
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: gift into a gift for the world. It's dangerous to
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: be energetic and indecisive. That power builds up with nowhere
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: to go and makes you bitter and insecure. If you're
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: built different, you have to build. You need challenges to
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: find your limits. You need limits to find yourself. There's
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: a version of you that only exists at the end
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: of extreme effort. You enter a dark, dream like maze
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: inside your mind. You see yourself from the third person,
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: and the only way out is becoming someone new. Most
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: will never enter that dark place. They won't get close,
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: they'll never see what's on the other side. But what's
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: on the other side is everything.
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: Your laziness, your lack of discipline. It doesn't just affect you.
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: You see, whether you realize it or not, there are
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: people that depend on you and more Importantly, there are
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: people that will depend on who you could become. Who
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: you decide to be matters. This isn't just about you
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: enjoying your life. When you're too fat to run around
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: and play with your kids, that affects them. When someone
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: falls ill in your family and you're too broke to
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: help them, that affects them. When you haven't developed the
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: mental fortitude and the mental strength to deal with difficult situations.
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: In a truly difficult situation rives and you're too wrapped
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: up in your own problems to help anyone else, that
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: affects them. If you are not going to do it
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: for you yourself, do it for the people that depend
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: on you to be the best to you.
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: I'd rather be a man who crashes and burns on
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: his way to large problems than be a normal man
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: who dies and the thoughts of all the things that
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: he wished he could have achieved.
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: Everyone wants to see fast results, but true success is
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: only done through consistency and time.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: Otherwise it's luck.
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: Whether it's hitting the gym, growing your investments, or mastering
• 10:26
  Speaker 7: a mindset, you have to be willing to put in
• 10:29
  Speaker 7: the work consistently sure you won't see results the very
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: next day, but in a year everyone will be shocked
• 10:36
  Speaker 7: at how far you've come. Remember this, you don't lose
• 10:40
  Speaker 7: when you fail, You lose when you quit it.
• 10:48
  Speaker 8: Your thoughts, you will start to guard them, You'll start
• 10:50
  Speaker 8: to monitor them. You're going to start to really pay
• 10:53
  Speaker 8: close attention to what's going on. And once you become
• 11:00
  Speaker 8: aware of this truth that the universal creative power can
• 11:03
  Speaker 8: only be what you feel and think it to be,
• 11:05
  Speaker 8: it will become eager and willing to do your bidding.
• 11:10
  Speaker 8: Say this understanding will enable you to be filled with
• 11:13
  Speaker 8: the expectant attitude and to expect the materialization of the
• 11:17
  Speaker 8: image will become most natural for you. Do you know
• 11:20
  Speaker 8: that if you put this particular tape on and play
• 11:24
  Speaker 8: it every day for at least a month, there's so
• 11:28
  Speaker 8: much depth to this idea. Every time you read it,
• 11:32
  Speaker 8: you're going to see it clearer. It'll be as if
• 11:35
  Speaker 8: you're standing at the base of a tall building facing
• 11:38
  Speaker 8: east and somebody said, what's the view like facing east?
• 11:42
  Speaker 8: And you'll describe it. But then you go in and
• 11:45
  Speaker 8: you raise your consciousness. You move up to the third floor,
• 11:48
  Speaker 8: and you go to the east wall and you look
• 11:49
  Speaker 8: through the window the view is different. You're still facing east,
• 11:54
  Speaker 8: but it's different. And then you go and you raise
• 11:56
  Speaker 8: your consciousness and you go up to the tenth floor
• 11:59
  Speaker 8: and you go to the east and you look, but
• 12:01
  Speaker 8: it's different. It's much more beautiful. And ultimately, if you'll
• 12:06
  Speaker 8: keep listening to this and watching it and thinking and
• 12:08
  Speaker 8: relating it to your own life, you're going to work
• 12:10
  Speaker 8: your way to the roof and you'll see as far
• 12:13
  Speaker 8: as your eyes can take you. It's like Paul told
• 12:17
  Speaker 8: me one time, he said, go as far as you
• 12:20
  Speaker 8: can see when you get there, and you'll see how
• 12:22
  Speaker 8: to go further. Troward said, if you think your thought's powerful,
• 12:28
  Speaker 8: it's powerful.
• 12:29
  Speaker 9: If the goal of life is to live a life
• 12:33
  Speaker 9: which in retrospect we are glad that we lived, it's
• 12:37
  Speaker 9: important to give ourselves perspective, to develop that metacognizance, to
• 12:41
  Speaker 9: step away from the urgent, to step away from the
• 12:44
  Speaker 9: phenomenological day to day existence. Because the present self is
• 12:48
  Speaker 9: a petulant child. It's lazy, and it wants the path
• 12:52
  Speaker 9: of least resistance and that glass of wine and that
• 12:54
  Speaker 9: new movie on Netflix, and the couch looks really comfortable,
• 12:58
  Speaker 9: Very rarely does it.
• 12:59
  Speaker 10: That's The danger with impulsive happiness is that it does
• 13:02
  Speaker 10: have that present bound quality, and.
• 13:06
  Speaker 9: In retrospect that can lead to a life that's not
• 13:09
  Speaker 9: well lived.
• 13:12
  Speaker 10: Generally that yes, yes, yes, life definitely places philosophical demands
• 13:21
  Speaker 10: on you, whether you want it to or not, and
• 13:24
  Speaker 10: so it is useful to step back. I mean, that's
• 13:27
  Speaker 10: likely why the trade openness evolved. That's the creativity dimension.
• 13:32
  Speaker 10: That's the dimension that allows people to engage in philosophical
• 13:37
  Speaker 10: discourse and to think laterly, and it does allow you
• 13:41
  Speaker 10: to step back and look at things on a broader
• 13:44
  Speaker 10: scale and to generate creative alternatives. The problem with examining
• 13:49
  Speaker 10: your assumptions is it's very disquieting, you know, because you
• 13:54
  Speaker 10: want things to act the way you predict and desire
• 13:58
  Speaker 10: them to act, and you work within a set of
• 14:02
  Speaker 10: axioms and you act them out in order to maintain
• 14:05
  Speaker 10: that predictability, that desirable predictability. If you mess around, the
• 14:11
  Speaker 10: more fundamental the axiom that you question, the more uncertainty
• 14:16
  Speaker 10: you release. And some of that can be positive, but
• 14:20
  Speaker 10: a plenty of it can be anxiety provoking. I mean,
• 14:22
  Speaker 10: just imagine that you're in a relationship and it's maybe
• 14:26
  Speaker 10: a year into it, and you haven't formalized and finalized it.
• 14:29
  Speaker 10: But then one day you allow yourself to ask the question,
• 14:32
  Speaker 10: is this the relationship I want to be in? Well,
• 14:35
  Speaker 10: that's a fundamental question. But just imagine now you're destabilizing
• 14:39
  Speaker 10: your entire future. You're destabilizing your present, you're destabilizing your
• 14:45
  Speaker 10: past because while engaging in the relationship, you're acting out
• 14:49
  Speaker 10: the assumption that it's the proper relationship. But now you
• 14:52
  Speaker 10: question that. That means the story you told yourself about
• 14:55
  Speaker 10: what was happening while it happened, even though it's already happened,
• 14:59
  Speaker 10: was wrong and something else had happened, and then you
• 15:02
  Speaker 10: have to think through what actually happened. So it's unbelievably demanding,
• 15:06
  Speaker 10: and the more axiomatic the assumption, the more certainty is
• 15:10
  Speaker 10: cast into troublesome chaos. Now you could say, yeah, but
• 15:16
  Speaker 10: the alternative is worse, and I believe that often that's true.
• 15:21
  Speaker 10: But the thing about the alternative is that you can
• 15:24
  Speaker 10: always forestall it. Right that question tomorrow you bet? You bet,
• 15:31
  Speaker 10: And it's a very powerful temptation, and no wonder you know,
• 15:35
  Speaker 10: do you want to dig up the body now or
• 15:37
  Speaker 10: do you want to wait a month. It's like, well,
• 15:39
  Speaker 10: it'll be more rotten in a month.
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: But.
• 15:42
  Speaker 10: It's not a month. It's not now, right, it's not now.
• 15:46
  Speaker 10: And so I understand why people don't want to delve
• 15:49
  Speaker 10: into things, even if their emotions indicate that they should.
• 15:53
  Speaker 10: I mean, I will see this all the time. If
• 15:55
