Become Disciplined: Wake Up, Get It Done, Own Your Day · Motivation Mindset Podcast

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Wake up. We have a moral burden to bear, and
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: that's the adventure of our life. That's the other thing
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: so interesting about the Abrahamic story is that God calls
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Abraham out of his luxurious slumber and sends him into
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: a catastrophe, tyranny, starvation, war brutal, but he has the
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: adventure of his life. You might say, well, it's the
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: adventure of your life that justifies the catastrophe of your life.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: It's not some simple minded, juvenile hedonism or desire for comfort.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: That's all what we're built for. We're built for the
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: adventure of our lives. And where do you find that.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: You find that in orienting yourself to the highest possible
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: good in all ways and speaking the truth forthrightly along
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: that pathway.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: We have two voices in our mind. It's that one
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: voice that we love to hear.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: It's a soft motherfucker that says, sleep the can it's okay.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: Well, there's another mother voice that wakes you up in
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: the middle.
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: Of the night.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: It's that deemer voice that whispers in your ear, that says,
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: get up, motherfucker. You're not good enough, you can't work
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: get harder, you haven't put enough time yet it's that
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: voice you want to run away from.
• 1:31
  Speaker 6: It's that voice you don't.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Want to hear.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: But guess what, it's that.
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: Voice you need to listen to when the defining moment comes,
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: either you define the moment or the moment defines you
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: have you to find the moment you decided that you're
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: gonna not concern yourself with the naysayers, that you're not
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: gonna concern yourself with what's happened or what hasn't happened,
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: but you're gonna make the commitment to do what you've
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: gotta do so that you can have a lifestyle that
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: you've never experienced before. Or the moment defines you and
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: you decide to play it safe. In twenty years from now,
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: you say to yourself, what if I would have taken
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: a chance on myself. What if I would have stayed
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: in the game, what if I would have kept making
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: the phone calls, what if? What if? And what if?
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: But let me tell you something, Something amazing begins to
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: happen when you make the decision to move forward on
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: your goals and your dream.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Then it doesn't stop if you don't make it stop.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: So recognize the excuses are not valid. They are, they're
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: trumped up, they're conjured up, they're fabricated, they're lies. Then
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: how do you stop the lies? You stop the lines
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: with the truth. And the truth is you have time,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: You have the skill, You have the knowledge and the
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: support and the will power and the discipline to get
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: it done.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: I don't care how hard you fall.
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: I don't care if nobody don't believe in you. It
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: only takes you believing in yourself. You get this thing done.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: And listen to me.
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: It ain't failures. You learn from the baby.
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: So if you fall, follow your back so you can
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: look off.
• 3:07
  Speaker 7: Because you can.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: Look off, then you can get up.
• 3:11
  Speaker 7: I didn't take a little pain.
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: I didn't at the end of pain of success.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Your successes fuel your ambition. Your successes give you extra energy.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Your successes pave the way for more successes. It's the
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: snowball effect. With one success, you're excited to meet another,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: and another and another, and pretty soon the disciplines that
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: were so difficult in the beginning, the disciplines that got
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: you going, are now part of your philosophy.
• 3:47
  Speaker 8: You're never ever, ever, ever going to feel like doing
• 3:52
  Speaker 8: the things you need to do in order to have
• 3:56
  Speaker 8: what you want, You're always going to need to put yourself.
• 4:00
  Speaker 8: You're always going to need to parent yourself. So what
• 4:04
  Speaker 8: is the net advice on this? What is the bottom line?
• 4:09
  Speaker 8: The bottom line is, no one's coming.
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: No one.
• 4:14
  Speaker 8: No one's coming to push you. No one's coming to
• 4:17
  Speaker 8: tell you to turn the TV off. No one's coming
• 4:20
  Speaker 8: to tell you to get out the door and exercise.
• 4:22
  Speaker 8: Nobody's coming to tell you to apply for that job
• 4:26
  Speaker 8: that you've always dreamt about. Nobody's coming to write the
• 4:28
  Speaker 8: business plan for you.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: It's up to you.
• 4:32
  Speaker 8: And because you're only ever going to do the things
• 4:35
  Speaker 8: that you feel like doing right now or that feel
• 4:38
  Speaker 8: good right now. Unless you understand that you've got to
• 4:43
  Speaker 8: parent yourself. You've got to push yourself. You're not going
• 4:47
  Speaker 8: to make your dreams come true. You're just not We're
• 4:49
  Speaker 8: not wired that way. You weren't born that way. You
• 4:52
  Speaker 8: weren't that way when you were going up, and you're
• 4:54
  Speaker 8: certainly not that way as an adult. And there's a
• 4:56
  Speaker 8: tremendous amount of liberation that comes when you accept the
• 5:00
  Speaker 8: fact that you're always going to need to give yourself
• 5:04
  Speaker 8: a push.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: Ask yourself this question, what I am doing, what I
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: am about to do. Is it going to help me
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: get where I am going? Is this action going to
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: make me stronger or weaker? Is this action going to
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: make me smarter or more skilled? Will this action move
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: me toward the strategic long term goals I am trying
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: to achieve in my life? And do not lie to yourself.
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: And then when you see people take on more responsibility
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: and decide that they're going to.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Aim up and.
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: Confront their suffering honestly and forthrightly, that their lives get
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: better and the lives of people around them get better too.
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: And so that's very strange as well because it also
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: means that the pathway to less suffering is through suffering, right,
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: And that's kind of that would be hopeful if the
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: world was constituted that way. It's like, well, they're suffering,
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: how do you make it worse? Run away? How do
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: you make it better? Confront it? Yeah, but it's suffering.
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: It's like, yeah, but it's there, there, it is, it's
• 6:15
  Speaker 7: right there. It's a precondition for existence or something like that.
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: And it's like, you have something important to do as well,
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: and you confront it, and that's the pathway to transcending it.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: If I grow think of what that will do for
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: my future. Self development earns success, self investment earns respect,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: and the only way to make it better and better
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: and better investment in your future is to become better
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: and stronger and wiser and more competent.
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: It's easy to look at those people who have succeeded
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: and assume that they just got lucky, but invariably behind
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: the facade of overnight success is an unwavering commitment and
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: definiteness of purpose that makes successful people able to do
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: whatever needs to be done in order to achieve their
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: goal of financial prosperity. Whether your dream is to become
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: a famous dancer or to become free of financial worries,
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: you must set that goal as your definite major purpose
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: and refuse to allow anything to pull you from that course.
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: To reinforce the point, consider this, they who have no
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: central purpose in their life fall easy prey to petty worries, fears, troubles,
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: and self pitying, all of which lead just as surely
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: as deliberately planned sins, to failure, unhappiness, and loss. A
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: and set out to accomplish it. He should make this
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: purpose his supreme duty, and should devote himself to its attainment.
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: Not allowing his thoughts to its attainment, not allowing his
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: thoughts to wander away into ephemeral offence's longings, and imagining
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: erratic action towards your goal will produce an erratic result.
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: Our card reminds us that willpower is about the unflinching
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: purpose to carry a task you set for yourself to fulfillment.
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: If I set for myself a task, be it ever
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: so trifling, I shall see it through. How else shall
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: I have confidence in myself to do important things? What
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: is it that you most want to achieve? Whatever it is,
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: decide your goal and remind yourself of it every day
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: as soon as you wake up. Make everything you do
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: lead to that outcome. Winners are people with definite purpose
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: in that take action. Lack of decision making skills is
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: near the head of the major causes of failure. So
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: if not knowing what your definite major purpose causes obvious
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: challenges toward its attainment, then changing your mind every five
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: minutes about the time target comes a pretty close second.
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: After all, how can the invisible forces of the infinite
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: intelligence mobilized to convert emotionalized thought into reality if you
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: keep changing your mind. Procrastination the opposite of decision. The
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: opposite of decision is a common enemy which practically every
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: man must conquer. Procrastination is motivated by shame. People put
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: off tasks, either consciously or unconsciously, because they believe they
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: will experience shame if they complete the task. Perhaps they
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: feel their efforts won't be good enough, or that their
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: position of authority could be questioned if their attempt is unsuccessful.
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: It is therefore safer to procrastinate and blame external sources
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: for a lack of results than to try and have
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: to admit failure. Procrastinators very often see themselves at the
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: top of the mountain, but they don't want to learn
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: how to clonm time. But what if it's not fence
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: sitting that's slowing you up, but the inability to make
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: decisions in the first place. It has been thought that
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: those that make decisions quickly are working on some sort
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: of sixth sense, and certainly. However, cognitive psychologist Gary Klean,
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: with his studies into decision making processes in life and
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: death situation, shows there is something less esoteric at play too.
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: He concluded that far from being weighed down by knowledge, information,
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: and memories, those with experience in a certain area were
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: able to assess situations and mentally simulate their outcome faster
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: than a numbers could get a notebook out. Experience and
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: understanding allow decision makers to recognize situations and quickly commit
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: to a course of action based on that extensive knowledge bank.
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: So building information, knowledge, and experience, often through failure, is
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: an essential piece of the success puzzle. There is no
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: habitual but indecision. Your main job in life is to
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: create the mental equivalent within yourself of what you want
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: to realize and enjoy in your outer world. Your focus
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: must be on creating the beliefs within yourself that are
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: consistent with the great success you want to be in
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: your outer world. You achieve this by challenging yourself, limiting beliefs,
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: rejecting them, and then acting as if they did not exist.
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: You reinforce the development of new life enhancing beliefs. By
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: increasing your knowledge and skills in your field to the
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: point where you feel equal to any demand or challenge,
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: you accelerate the development of new positive beliefs by setting
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: bigger and more exciting goals in every area. Finally, you
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: act continually as if you were already the person that
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: you desire to be. Your aim is to reprogram your
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: subconscious mind for success by creating the mental equivalent in
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: everything you do or say, behave consistent with your new
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: self image. You develop new beliefs by taking actions consistent
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: with those beliefs. You act as if you already believe
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: that you have these capabilities and competencies. You behave like
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: a positive, optimistic, and cheerful person toward everyone. You act
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: as if your success were already guaranteed. You act as
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: if you have a secret guarantee of success and only
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: you know about it. You realize that you are developing, shaping,
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: and controlling the evolution of your own character and personality
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: by everything that you do and say every single day.
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: Since you become what you think about. You should only
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: say and do those things that are consistent with your
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: self ideal, the person you most aspire to be in
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: your long term future ideal. You should only think and
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: talk about the things that are moving you toward becoming
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: the person you want to be and toward achieving the
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: goals that you want to achieve the goal. Keep your
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: words and actions consistent. Your beliefs are always manifested in
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: your words and actions. Make sure that everything you say
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: and do from now on is consistent with the beliefs
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: that you want to have and the person that you
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: want to become. In time, you will replace more and
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: more of your self limiting beliefs with life enhancing beliefs.
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: Over time, you will completely reprogram yourself for success. When
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: this occurs, the transformation that takes place in your outer
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: life will amaze you and all the people around you.
