- 0:00Speaker 1: No matter how terrible a situation is, no matter how
- 0:03Speaker 1: bad it is, there's still gonna be a rose that
- 0:06Speaker 1: grows from that concrete.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Every person on this planet is capable of changing the
- 0:09Speaker 2: world by changing themselves.
- 0:12Speaker 1: I was built for this. I was not going to
- 0:16Speaker 1: let myself fail, right then. I have that mentality, and
- 0:20Speaker 1: I understand that now that I grew from that concrete,
- 0:24Speaker 1: I'm starting to plant my seeds and there's more roses growing.
- 0:29Speaker 1: They're planning seeds in places that people like, man, you'll
- 0:33Speaker 1: never grow here, right, And we're like, no, they can't,
- 0:37Speaker 1: you know, cause there's a lot of people out there
- 0:39Speaker 1: that have the heart, that have the talent, that have
- 0:41Speaker 1: the ability. They just have to see that someone else
- 0:43Speaker 1: can build it. At the end of the day, man,
- 0:46Speaker 1: you really gotta want it. You gotta really want it.
- 0:49Speaker 1: Like man, you don't see the work that goes behind us.
- 0:53Speaker 1: People don't see all that it takes to even get
- 0:57Speaker 1: to that point. And that's the problem, and so they
- 0:59Speaker 1: think it's supposed to be this this overnight things. Oh
- 1:02Speaker 1: I started at LC, give me money.
- 1:04Speaker 3: You know.
- 1:04Speaker 4: I think one of the things that that's important for
- 1:07Speaker 4: all of us is just the work ethic you know,
- 1:09Speaker 4: to be able to put in like you do the
- 1:12Speaker 4: incredible hours as an entrepreneur, as a visionary, to do
- 1:15Speaker 4: what it takes. Because I don't believe that there's a
- 1:18Speaker 4: necessarily a magic pill, but I think there's a process,
- 1:21Speaker 4: and doing the work is very important, you know. I
- 1:24Speaker 4: don't want people to believe that there's a silver bullet
- 1:26Speaker 4: all of a sudden, you have a great memory, or
- 1:28Speaker 4: you have this great success or great relationship or health,
- 1:30Speaker 4: and people always ask, what's the one thing I can do?
- 1:33Speaker 4: And I always tell people that you have to do
- 1:34Speaker 4: You have to do most of it right and be
- 1:36Speaker 4: smart about it, but you have to put in the
- 1:38Speaker 4: work because you know, a lot of times people see
- 1:41Speaker 4: on social media, they see all of the success, but
- 1:44Speaker 4: what they don't see is the hustle. Right as this
- 1:47Speaker 4: Gary V talks about and the I think what you
- 1:50Speaker 4: as they say what you practice in private? They say
- 1:52Speaker 4: you were rewarded for in public, But do you have
- 1:54Speaker 4: to you have to do the work. I feel like
- 1:59Speaker 4: a lot of people expend unnecessary amounts of energy trying
- 2:03Speaker 4: to hold up this image of their ideal self to
- 2:05Speaker 4: the world, and they have this image that they fear
- 2:08Speaker 4: so it's gonna be revealed to somebody else. And the
- 2:10Speaker 4: truth is people can We're faster, and we're smarter than
- 2:14Speaker 4: we think, and not just to be able to rote
- 2:16Speaker 4: memorize things, but be able to really solve significant challenges.
- 2:20Speaker 4: And maybe that these challenges that we're going through are
- 2:23Speaker 4: the lessons that we need to learn the most.
- 2:31Speaker 3: Forget the things you can't control, Look for the moments
- 2:36Speaker 3: you can't control, Lose the times you can't control, use
- 2:41Speaker 3: the times you can control. This is your journey, this
- 2:47Speaker 3: is your destiny. And either you wander aimlessly or you
- 2:50Speaker 3: grab the wheel and take control of the ship. Either
- 2:54Speaker 3: you head in the direction you want to go, or
- 2:57Speaker 3: you go in no direction at all.
- 3:01Speaker 5: Most people allow life to happen to them.
- 3:05Speaker 3: Their time runs like a sandzi. Life is happening to them,
- 3:10Speaker 3: it isn't happening for them.
- 3:12Speaker 5: Make life work for you.
- 3:15Speaker 3: Make your time.
- 3:16Speaker 5: Work for you.
- 3:18Speaker 3: Do not allow your time to empty each day without
- 3:21Speaker 3: achieving anything. Go into the world today and spend your
- 3:26Speaker 3: time wisely. Make small wins every day that will lead
- 3:31Speaker 3: you down the path to success. Motivation gets you started,
- 3:37Speaker 3: but habit will keep you going. Motivation is great.
- 3:43Speaker 5: It is like a coffee in the morning. It gets
- 3:45Speaker 5: the engine going and gets you moving.
- 3:48Speaker 3: But it is a habit that will develop your success.
- 3:52Speaker 5: You have the potential today to be special. Every second
- 3:56Speaker 5: that passes now is the opportunity to succeed, succeed into
- 4:01Speaker 5: something worthy, something.
- 4:03Speaker 3: With the power to change, to adapt, adapt into the
- 4:08Speaker 3: person you've always.
- 4:10Speaker 2: Wanted to be.
- 4:11Speaker 5: You have this opportunity today to be something with purpose,
- 4:16Speaker 5: something with potential, something that has the power to improve,
- 4:20Speaker 5: to really make it past your fears.
- 4:24Speaker 2: Oh, what I believe is all you are is this
- 4:26Speaker 2: moment right now. Everything that you perceive about yourself from
- 4:29Speaker 2: your past, it doesn't exist right now. You're just sitting
- 4:33Speaker 2: here right So if you take a deep breath, you
- 4:36Speaker 2: might have these little images of what your past story
- 4:39Speaker 2: is like, things that happen to you, things that you
- 4:41Speaker 2: feel reactions to, whatever. But if I actually realize that
- 4:45Speaker 2: everything that I think I am from past accomplishments or
- 4:48Speaker 2: future accomplishments, or that I have as goals or whatever,
- 4:52Speaker 2: are not me. That I'm just this space that those
- 4:56Speaker 2: ideas show up in, then often they might leave. Right
- 5:00Speaker 2: Let's say you have a thought no one likes me,
- 5:02Speaker 2: because no one liked me at that one thing in
- 5:03Speaker 2: the past. Okay, who's saying that.
- 5:07Speaker 5: It's just a thought.
- 5:07Speaker 2: It's not you. It's a thought that comes from evidence
- 5:11Speaker 2: of one thing in the past. But that doesn't mean
- 5:13Speaker 2: that's you. Right, whenever you let go of something scary,
- 5:18Speaker 2: you're only scared because your mind can measure what you
- 5:20Speaker 2: will lose, but it can't see what you'll gain. So
- 5:24Speaker 2: if you're sad because you're going through a breakup, you're
- 5:26Speaker 2: focused on the loss of one person versus the gain
- 5:30Speaker 2: of seven point five billion people. So your mind just
- 5:33Speaker 2: remembers one person, but it can't see what's on the
- 5:35Speaker 2: other side of it. And that's no different to me
- 5:37Speaker 2: than getting on an elevator. When you get on an elevator,
- 5:40Speaker 2: it's a dark, closed room, just like when you meditate.
- 5:43Speaker 2: Sometimes your visions of what you were disappear and you
- 5:45Speaker 2: feel darkness. But that doesn't mean because these doors are
- 5:48Speaker 2: closed that there isn't a whole new world on the
- 5:50Speaker 2: other side about to open up. So when you feel lost,
- 5:53Speaker 2: you're really in a problem of you're just addicted to
- 5:56Speaker 2: seeing the old story, and we move as if we
- 5:59Speaker 2: have forever crazy and so we get very spoiled by
- 6:03Speaker 2: the relationships and the friendships that we're in, and we
- 6:05Speaker 2: don't just appreciate them in the moment. So we create
- 6:08Speaker 2: these expectations, and in that expectation, you better be like
- 6:11Speaker 2: you were before, and you can't be you. I have
- 6:13Speaker 2: an expectation.
- 6:14Speaker 3: We're here forever.
- 6:15Speaker 2: You can't like someone else, you can't feel anything else.
- 6:18Speaker 2: You need to be mine. And we have these, you know, expectations,
- 6:22Speaker 2: and we forget to live and we forget to enjoy
- 6:25Speaker 2: that we get this moment. Most people think the things
- 6:28Speaker 2: that are temporary are the permanent things, right, the temporary passing.
- 6:33Speaker 2: I'm going through a breakup. You don't understand that in
- 6:35Speaker 2: a month you're going to be okay. You think when
- 6:38Speaker 2: you're in a low, when you're feeling bad, you think
- 6:41Speaker 2: that thing you're feeling is how you're going to feel forever,
- 6:44Speaker 2: which is what makes it feel worse, you know.
- 6:46Speaker 3: What I mean.
- 6:46Speaker 2: When you're in a low, you're like, this is my
- 6:48Speaker 2: life now, this is it. Or when you're in a high,
- 6:52Speaker 2: you also get extra high because you think, this is
- 6:54Speaker 2: my life now. I've fallen in love with this person,
- 6:58Speaker 2: so we're together forever, and I'm always going to feel
- 7:02Speaker 2: like this they're the one. Then a month later you're like,
- 7:13Speaker 2: is this my life forever? And then it goes back
- 7:17Speaker 2: and forth and you don't get that all of your
- 7:18Speaker 2: emotions are temporary, they're passing things. But there is this
- 7:23Speaker 2: thing in this moment right now that I feel is permanent,
- 7:27Speaker 2: this thing that you can feel just this silence, this space.
- 7:31Speaker 2: I've had so many things that have shown up and
- 7:33Speaker 2: left that I once thought were my reality that it
- 7:37Speaker 2: feels like parts of me continue to die and I
- 7:39Speaker 2: allow them to die. Right, So most of our pain
- 7:43Speaker 2: comes from believing. I believe that we should keep holding
- 7:45Speaker 2: onto these things that are really heavy in our lives,
- 7:48Speaker 2: even in physical examples like just there's a lot of
- 7:51Speaker 2: us that have an attic full of things, right A
- 7:53Speaker 2: lot of those things are things that your past, things
- 7:55Speaker 2: you should have, but they're not necessarily what your heart
- 7:58Speaker 2: would want right now, right like this is something I inherited,
- 8:01Speaker 2: or I should keep this in one day show my kids.
- 8:05Speaker 2: So we live in a world where we don't say
- 8:07Speaker 2: what we're thinking. We say what we think people want
- 8:09Speaker 2: to hear.
- 8:12Speaker 6: Now, if you wait, all that's gonna happen is you
- 8:16Speaker 6: get older, Because time is always gonna pass, and you're
- 8:19Speaker 6: always gonna move away. You're gonna wait for something to happen.
- 8:22Speaker 6: It's gonna set you behind on the time you do have.
- 8:26Speaker 6: You're gonna wind up at the back of the race,
- 8:27Speaker 6: and you're gonna wind up in last place. And that's
- 8:30Speaker 6: not where you want to be. That's not even where
- 8:32Speaker 6: you need to be. You need to be standing side
- 8:34Speaker 6: by side with your future self. You need to be
- 8:36Speaker 6: sleeping at night knowing that you tried your best and
- 8:39Speaker 6: waking up every morning with the desire to adapt, with
- 8:42Speaker 6: the desire to change. Stand out today, be different, become
- 8:49Speaker 6: something different, Stop whining to yourself, and stand up and
- 8:53Speaker 6: become something with worse, something with more than you've ever been.
- 8:58Speaker 3: Your goals, your.
- 9:00Speaker 6: Goals that you set for yourself.
- 9:02Speaker 5: That's your power.
- 9:03Speaker 6: Your ambition is your power. Having time is so powerful.
- 9:11Speaker 6: You are powerful. Set out what you believe in, lay
- 9:15Speaker 6: out the power you have, Actually lay out the power that.
- 9:18Speaker 5: You have always had.
- 9:22Speaker 6: Use this, become this, and have this your power can
- 9:27Speaker 6: take you. Put you on your path to your success,
- 9:30Speaker 6: to the place where you succeed, where you can become
- 9:35Speaker 6: more than just ordinary. So see what you've learned, how
- 9:42Speaker 6: much you've gained. See how far you've moved forward and
- 9:45Speaker 6: use this. Use this to take every single second for granted.
- 9:49Speaker 6: This is what's going to make your future, and this
- 9:51Speaker 6: is what gives you the power to have success. You
- 9:57Speaker 6: have this power to become something better, better than ordinary.
- 10:02Speaker 6: Your progress never stops because the show always will go
- 10:06Speaker 6: on with or without you. Life still continues, the world spends,
- 10:10Speaker 6: and time still passes. This is your opportunity.
