Focus on Your Dream: Let Nothing Stand in Your Way · Motivation Mindset Podcast

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: A lot of people out there dreaming. They don't put
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: the work behind the dream. That dream has become their
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: freaking master.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Ran by a graveyard and I've looked out there, and
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: now look out there, I'm like, man, I wonder how
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: many he'd.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Love goods in there?
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: And just are so upset with how you live your life,
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: regret how you lived it. Now I'm running at three
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: hundred pound man, thank it, Man, don't die like this girl.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Sometimes sitting there thinking about the life that you want
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: to live and the person you want to be, and
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: the simply isn't enough. If thinking about all the things
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: that you want in your life isn't enough to get
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: you going, why don't you sit there and think about
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: the things that you don't want, all the feelings you
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: don't want to experience, all the pain you don't want
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: to feel. If you just can't visualize the bright future
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: ahead of you, why don't you sit there and contemplate
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: all the darkness that you're going to be surrounded by.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: If you don't do that, you need to do like
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: sitting on your deathbed and wishing you could do it
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: all over again differently, but you can't. Wishing you had
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: done what you need to do now when it's too
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: late to do it. Ask yourself the question, what does
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: the future look like if I don't do what I
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: know I need to do.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: Suck it up and you find a way to persevere
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: and work your way around it, because guess what, you
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: ain't the only person in the world that's going through stuff.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: The world is filled with people who've got excuses about
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: why they're being held back, and by the way, those
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: things will be valid, but nobody is going to help
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: come and help you just because you're crying about how
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: you're being treated unfaily. You have to show that you
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: have the intestinal resolve.
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: To overcome face your fears, whatever they are. The fear
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: that we might not do a good job, the fear
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: that it might not turn out as we hope it would,
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: the fears that are lurking there, some that have come
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: and have been there even maybe since our childhood. Life
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: is consistent of both fear and faith. Faith, of course,
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: is the ability to overcome your fears. But what you
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: have to do in terms of your fears about perhaps
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: your own inadequacy, not feeling strong enough at the moment.
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: You just have to face those fears you just.
• 2:13
  Speaker 7: Have to go to work on it, because if you
• 2:15
  Speaker 7: really care about it like you say you do, you
• 2:17
  Speaker 7: don't fold at the first, second, third, or even the
• 2:21
  Speaker 7: twenty second time something or someone tries to knock you
• 2:26
  Speaker 7: down and stop you on your path to greatness.
• 2:28
  Speaker 8: No, you keep destroying.
• 2:30
  Speaker 7: Everything in your path until you get exactly what it
• 2:34
  Speaker 7: is you want, and you stop at nothing to reach it.
• 2:38
  Speaker 9: In the face of adversity, there lives an incredible opportunity
• 2:42
  Speaker 9: for growth. You see, greatness isn't born from comfort and ease.
• 2:48
  Speaker 9: It is carved out of challenges, sculpted from setbacks. Forget
• 2:53
  Speaker 9: what you've been told about the limits of your potential
• 2:58
  Speaker 9: based on where you came from, what happened to you,
• 3:00
  Speaker 9: the calory of your skin, or the balance in your
• 3:03
  Speaker 9: bank account, those are just factors, not predictors.
• 3:09
  Speaker 10: When all hell is breaking loose in your life, you
• 3:12
  Speaker 10: got to take a stand. You got to stand up
• 3:15
  Speaker 10: against all the negativity that's consuming you and surrounding you,
• 3:19
  Speaker 10: and you've got to create a new reality for yourself.
• 3:21
  Speaker 10: You've got to fight for a different outcome for you
• 3:24
  Speaker 10: and your dreams.
• 3:27
  Speaker 11: Suffering, sacrifice connects to everything else that It is an
• 3:32
  Speaker 11: equation to success. You accept it as a necessary ingredient
• 3:37
  Speaker 11: to get to the top. Why because most people are
• 3:39
  Speaker 11: not willing to do it. Most people are not willing
• 3:41
  Speaker 11: to put in the extra mile. Most people are not
• 3:43
  Speaker 11: willing to put in the extra necessary labor. They're not
• 3:47
  Speaker 11: willing to invest in themselves. They're not willing to go
• 3:50
  Speaker 11: through the sacrifice or the potential loss. But when it's
• 3:55
  Speaker 11: all said and done, you and I are going to
• 3:57
  Speaker 11: end up in the same place. We're going to end
• 3:58
  Speaker 11: up in the grieve. So how risky is life. It's
• 4:01
  Speaker 11: super risky. We're going to die, that's the endgame. So
• 4:04
  Speaker 11: what is there truly to lose? Nothing? You just realize
• 4:07
  Speaker 11: that it's part of the equation. And when you understand
• 4:09
  Speaker 11: that everything connects to everything else, you begin to develop
• 4:13
  Speaker 11: a complete mind.
• 4:14
  Speaker 12: There's going to be days where you don't feel like
• 4:16
  Speaker 12: showing up. There's going to be days where you're paralyzed
• 4:19
  Speaker 12: by self doubt, in days where the distance between where
• 4:22
  Speaker 12: you are and where you want to be is overwhelming.
• 4:25
  Speaker 12: I'm here to tell you that the only way to
• 4:27
  Speaker 12: keep inching forward when those days happen is to be
• 4:30
  Speaker 12: committed to the process. Because the ones who stay consistent,
• 4:33
  Speaker 12: whether they feel like it or not, are the ones
• 4:35
  Speaker 12: who see the results, not the ones who have conditional
• 4:38
  Speaker 12: commitments on their goals. Keep going.
• 4:42
  Speaker 8: But I'll say you right now, you might not be
• 4:44
  Speaker 8: a control of what the world gives you, but you're
• 4:46
  Speaker 8: always a control of what you accept. This life is
• 4:49
  Speaker 8: not an external battle, my people. This life is an
• 4:52
  Speaker 8: internal wars.
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: Your greatest battle is here.
• 4:56
  Speaker 8: So my question I want to ask you right now
• 4:57
  Speaker 8: is one of the things that are in your control.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: You can change right now.
• 5:01
  Speaker 8: You can control and change the internal dialogue that you're
• 5:05
  Speaker 8: having within yourself.
• 5:08
  Speaker 13: I need you to do me a favor. Do more
• 5:11
  Speaker 13: than just exist. You come from greater stock than just
• 5:15
  Speaker 13: taking of space. Leaving this world better than you found
• 5:18
  Speaker 13: it is your responsibility as a human being. Utilizing the
• 5:21
  Speaker 13: gifts that you were given at birth is how you
• 5:23
  Speaker 13: leave this world better than you found it, leaving an impact,
• 5:26
  Speaker 13: a legacy for the next generation to follow.
• 5:33
  Speaker 14: Each and every day, I'm trying to be the best
• 5:36
  Speaker 14: I can be in that day. I'm trying to maximize
• 5:39
  Speaker 14: that day, just that day. And I think if we
• 5:42
  Speaker 14: all can shift into focusing on the small integral steps
• 5:47
  Speaker 14: that go into the big changes. That's when we'll see
• 5:50
  Speaker 14: the most growth and the most evolution in our lives.
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: I just need you to keep walking toward it.
• 5:56
  Speaker 8: I don't need you thinking about it no more. You're
• 5:57
  Speaker 8: doing too much think. Can you analyze it? Too much?
• 6:00
  Speaker 8: Talking yourself out of it. I don't know if this
• 6:01
  Speaker 8: don't work.
• 6:02
  Speaker 7: I try and it didn't work.
• 6:03
  Speaker 8: I just need you to keep moving. I need you
• 6:05
  Speaker 8: to make up in your ma. That's the only way
• 6:07
  Speaker 8: you can lose is if you quit. I just need
• 6:09
  Speaker 8: you to kid go.
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: No matter how dire the situation, no matter how insurmountable
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: the obstacles, you keep moving forward. You keep walking toward
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: your dreams, no matter what. This relentless pursuit, this unyielding drive,
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: is what separates the victors from the vanquished.
• 6:33
  Speaker 15: One of the major problems of the growing adult, the
• 6:36
  Speaker 15: adult who aspires toward fulfillment and self actualization, is the
• 6:40
  Speaker 15: choosing of new, meaningful goals as his former goals are
• 6:43
  Speaker 15: accomplished and being accomplished no longer motivated. It's important that
• 6:48
  Speaker 15: we do not stop along the line and sit down
• 6:50
  Speaker 15: for too long. To remain healthy and alive, a person
• 6:53
  Speaker 15: needs a new interest, a new challenge as he satisfies
• 6:56
  Speaker 15: the old ones. If a person aspires to a certain
• 6:59
  Speaker 15: level in the business world, a certain income, and reaches it,
• 7:02
  Speaker 15: and if it's quite adequate for his needs, it won't
• 7:04
  Speaker 15: motivate him for very long. Something new must be introduced.
• 7:10
  Speaker 15: If the man doesn't find it, then management should if
• 7:14
  Speaker 15: the man is to continue to grow and make a
• 7:16
  Speaker 15: major contribution to the organization and to himself. Motivating people
• 7:21
  Speaker 15: is as important for the people as it is for
• 7:23
  Speaker 15: the vitality of the organization, whether the organization is a
• 7:27
  Speaker 15: family unit, a school class, a research organization, or a
• 7:31
  Speaker 15: business concern. Some people are self motivating. We all know
• 7:36
  Speaker 15: such people. They are always off on some interesting new endeavor.
• 7:40
  Speaker 15: But I'm afraid a large percentage are not. They seem
• 7:43
  Speaker 15: to lack the curiosity, or the creativeness or the knowledge
• 7:46
  Speaker 15: to seek out new motivating challenges for themselves. Our lives
• 7:49
  Speaker 15: are full of things, our pasts full of events that
• 7:53
  Speaker 15: were once the most exciting things, things that buoyed us
• 7:56
  Speaker 15: up to great heights of expectation and filled our lives
• 8:00
  Speaker 15: with fresh new interests. Today, while their old hat like
• 8:04
  Speaker 15: the three year old car or the ten year old home,
• 8:07
  Speaker 15: they no longer suffice to motivate us. And what's the
• 8:10
  Speaker 15: busy wife and mother to do when the last of
• 8:12
  Speaker 15: her kids marries and moves away, or when her husband
• 8:15
  Speaker 15: retires from his job of thirty or forty years. We
• 8:19
  Speaker 15: must consciously see to it that we do not run
• 8:21
  Speaker 15: out of once, that we can still sit down and
• 8:23
  Speaker 15: make out a want list and find ourselves getting that
• 8:25
  Speaker 15: old excitement again for something new to plan and work for.
• 8:29
  Speaker 15: The human being needs desperately that carrot on the stick.
• 8:32
  Speaker 15: Doctor Masler said to his students, if you deliberately plan
• 8:36
  Speaker 15: to be less than you are capable of being, then
• 8:40
  Speaker 15: I warn you that you'll be unhappy for the rest
• 8:42
  Speaker 15: of your lives. You will be evading your own capacities,
• 8:45
  Speaker 15: your own possibilities. Finery James the very prolific American novelist,
• 8:51
  Speaker 15: brother of William James, who is often called the father
• 8:55
  Speaker 15: of American psychology. In fact, the James family remained outstanding
• 8:59
  Speaker 15: for Jeers. Henry James once wrote in The Ambassadors, live
• 9:03
  Speaker 15: all you can. It's a mistake not to. It doesn't
• 9:07
  Speaker 15: so much matter what you do in particular, so long
• 9:10
  Speaker 15: as you've had your life. If you haven't had that,
• 9:13
  Speaker 15: what have you had What one loses, one loses. Make
• 9:18
  Speaker 15: no mistake about that. The right time is any time
• 9:21
  Speaker 15: that one is still so lucky as to have. Well,
• 9:24
  Speaker 15: that wouldn't be a bad piece of advice to have
• 9:26
  Speaker 15: framed in place, in a conspicuous place, would it live
• 9:29
  Speaker 15: all you can? It's a mistake not to. But it
• 9:32
  Speaker 15: seems that relatively few people are aware of living, as
• 9:35
  Speaker 15: they take so many important things for granted. They wake up,
• 9:39
  Speaker 15: go about their days, go back to sleep, without once
• 9:41
  Speaker 15: having thought, I am alive and I am sensing this day.
• 9:46
  Speaker 15: It is only when life begins to reach its conclusion
• 9:48
  Speaker 15: that people become aware of the importance of living. It's
• 9:52
  Speaker 15: like those people who have to be sick to appreciate
• 9:55
  Speaker 15: good health are deprived of their freedom in order to
• 9:57
  Speaker 15: realize its value. People who are aware of life, living,
• 10:00
  Speaker 15: of enjoying living are like sponges. They soak up all
• 10:04
  Speaker 15: that goes on around them. They're aware of other people,
• 10:07
  Speaker 15: of what's being said. They're observers of their environment. Their
• 10:11
  Speaker 15: eyes are everywhere. I played golf once with a man
• 10:14
  Speaker 15: who often stood with his eyes squinted, staring for long
• 10:17
  Speaker 15: moments at the trees or a particularly present view. I
• 10:20
  Speaker 15: asked him about it. He said, now, look at that
• 10:24
  Speaker 15: grove of trees over there, and squint your eyes. Look
• 10:28
  Speaker 15: at the rich black shadows underneath them. And then he said,
• 10:32
  Speaker 15: you know, black is the mother of all color. It
• 10:34
  Speaker 15: was a curious thing, and so I stood and squinted
• 10:37
  Speaker 15: my eyes, and sure enough the sight appeared as a painting,
• 10:40
  Speaker 15: and the shadows did deepen. Everyone else on the golf
• 10:43
  Speaker 15: course was simply playing golf. This man was acutely aware
• 10:47
  Speaker 15: of everything going about him as well. He was living
• 10:50
  Speaker 15: more than we were. He was getting more out of
• 10:52
  Speaker 15: his life than we were. As Henry James said, the
• 10:55
  Speaker 15: right time as any time that one is still so
• 10:57
  Speaker 15: lucky as to have. The right time is we're working,
• 11:01
  Speaker 15: or driving, or with our loved ones or alone. The
• 11:04
  Speaker 15: right time is the only time we've got, which is now.
• 11:09
  Speaker 15: And if we haven't learned to live now, we'll always
• 11:11
  Speaker 15: be living on the hope that perhaps the future will
• 11:13
  Speaker 15: be somehow better. Now is the future we were thinking
• 11:16
  Speaker 15: about last year. And if you don't make it into tomorrow,
• 11:19
  Speaker 15: where you have enjoyed, well you have been aware of today, well,
• 11:22
  Speaker 15: it's worth thinking about anything that can make life more interesting,
• 11:26
  Speaker 15: more vivid is worth giving some thought to older people
• 11:30
  Speaker 15: are always saying to younger people, you don't realize how
• 11:34
  Speaker 15: lucky you are, which I suppose means that they didn't either.
• 11:38
  Speaker 15: You have to tap into suffering every day of your
• 11:41
  Speaker 15: life because we have so much scarring that we have
• 11:43
  Speaker 15: to clean up.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: To succeed, you must fail in failure and in suffering.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: All the answers are in there, all the answers to
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: all the test questions. The test is your life. All
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: the answers are in there. You don't have to live
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: in suffering, pain and failure all the time.
• 12:06
  Speaker 7: You have to learn.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Like people hate working out, you're only going to visit
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: working out maybe an hour a day, twenty three other
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: hours of the day you're not in it. But how
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: you become in shape is you must visit suffering. Visit
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: working out one hour a day, Visit suffering one hour
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: a day. Visit your past failures one hour a day.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: The relationship with it is the answers are in there.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: They are in there, within the suffering. Go in there.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: I call it the live autopsy. The live autopsy, how
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: you find out they crack you open after you're dead,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: how you can live is. Do it while you're alive.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Go back in your brain, crack it open while you're alive.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Don't wait until you're freaking dead to figure out why
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: you died. Do it while you are living. Go in there,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: go into the suffering, Go into the pain of your life,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: and say, why does this suck for me so bad?
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Why am I afraid of all this stuff? Why have
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I shut down the whole world? I guarantee I'll tell
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: you why you shut down the whole world. It's in
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: these nooks of the suffering within your brain and the
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: scarring are all the answers to why you are on
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: the couch feeling sorry for yourself. They lie within the scars.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Visit them for at least an hour a day, study them,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: and then you'll find out more about yourself. You will
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: then grow. So don't look at it as every day
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I suffer. Go into it an hour a day. Learn
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: from yourself, learn from life, learn from me, Learn from
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: your failures, learn from your insecurities, learn from your self doubt.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Don't you say I'm afraid to jump off an airplane?
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: What makes you afraid of it?
• 13:50
  Speaker 15: Study it?
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: That's why I studied my mind, why I became so
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: powerful in the mind because I realized I was weak.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: So instead of running away from the mind, I dove
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: into it, said, what is making me weak?
