Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: I just try and be a good human and to
- 0:02Speaker 1: give a great message of self belief and hope, and
- 0:06Speaker 1: to tell people you can do all this and still
- 0:08Speaker 1: be a good human.
- 0:09Speaker 2: To help other people up.
- 0:17Speaker 1: Face some hard facts, and you could have an incredible life.
- 0:22Speaker 1: Every time you want to do something, people will say
- 0:25Speaker 1: it's not going to work. Stop waiting for life to
- 0:28Speaker 1: be easy. Stop hoping for somebody to save you. GM
- 0:32Speaker 1: and sport and exercise in general's great for people because
- 0:35Speaker 1: it teaches a discipline. It gives you a purpose and
- 0:37Speaker 1: a passion, and teaches you're disciplined and that if you
- 0:39Speaker 1: keep at it and you don't quit, and you work
- 0:42Speaker 1: your ass off every day, you can get somewhere. This
- 0:44Speaker 1: idea you are that there's a way to be safe,
- 0:47Speaker 1: it's childish and cowardly. It stops you from experiencing anything,
- 0:52Speaker 1: including anything good. And every time we have a great idea,
- 0:55Speaker 1: and I think everybody thinks big and everybody dreams. Every
- 0:58Speaker 1: little kid out there thinks I want to be something,
- 1:00Speaker 1: and then they get shut down.
- 1:01Speaker 2: Everybody says, oh that's not for you. Just be normal.
- 1:03Speaker 1: Get a normal job, go work in a bank, go
- 1:06Speaker 1: to university, just have a safe and people think they're hateful,
- 1:09Speaker 1: they're not. They just don't want to see you fail.
- 1:12Speaker 1: The people close do you think I don't do that?
- 1:14Speaker 1: Don't risk it because you might fail.
- 1:16Speaker 2: It's over nothing. You just don't run it off.
- 1:23Speaker 1: You've got to take advice, but at the same time,
- 1:25Speaker 1: particut your guns and do what you know in your
- 1:27Speaker 1: heart and what your passion is, and follow it and
- 1:29Speaker 1: make it work.
- 1:30Speaker 2: Who protects me? Who there and left? They bid met that,
- 1:35Speaker 2: they know what the hell they got on about. What
- 1:37Speaker 2: I learned was not to quit. That carries over into
- 1:39Speaker 2: into real life. Hard brook makes you successful. Now listening
- 1:48Speaker 2: to the knee sayers makes you successful. No, brooking your
- 1:53Speaker 2: butt off makes you successful.
- 1:56Speaker 3: There's no shortcut. You go to brook your ass off,
- 1:58Speaker 3: you go to work, work, work.
- 2:34Speaker 1: We kind of want to do things to prove people wrong.
- 2:37Speaker 1: And I had this revelation only the last few years.
- 2:40Speaker 1: Whether the essence of it lies, you're almost there. It's
- 2:44Speaker 1: not that it's doing it to prove yourself right. So
- 2:46Speaker 1: always have these advisers and people say you can't do it,
- 2:49Speaker 1: and I wanted to prove them wrong at first.
- 2:51Speaker 2: Now no, I know where the truth is.
- 2:53Speaker 1: Just do it to prove yourself right, because if they
- 2:55Speaker 1: really do hate you and you win and you get
- 2:58Speaker 1: it right, they're still hate youre age more, and if
- 3:01Speaker 1: you fail, they're going to be the first one's going out.
- 3:03Speaker 1: I told you so, right, So why would you want
- 3:06Speaker 1: to prove someone like that wrong when they don't give
- 3:11Speaker 1: a shit about you? Why would you care what they think?
- 3:14Speaker 1: And this controls so many things that we do worrying
- 3:17Speaker 1: about approval of others.
- 3:18Speaker 2: So learned to ignore that.
- 3:20Speaker 1: It's nice to get advice from well meaning people. You're
- 3:22Speaker 1: going to be really careful who you're getting advice from.
- 3:24Speaker 1: Make sure their failues in their life is kind of
- 3:27Speaker 1: a line, otherwise they might be talking shit. You're going
- 3:29Speaker 1: to be careful to surround yourself with good people they've
- 3:32Speaker 1: got their shit together, because if you're listening to people
- 3:34Speaker 1: that are always complaining, it's going to weigh you down.
- 3:37Speaker 1: Very very careful not to let people in beyond a
- 3:39Speaker 1: certain point. So choose your circle wisely. Listen to the
- 3:42Speaker 1: counsel of people that you admire and aspire to be like.
- 3:46Speaker 2: Always make the right choice to who you let in.
- 3:48Speaker 1: You'll find that everybody's got an opinion, but not everybody's qualified,
- 3:52Speaker 1: especially when it comes to you and your life and
- 3:54Speaker 1: your goals and who you want to be. Just be careful,
- 3:57Speaker 1: keep your circle really small. So I see a lot
- 4:01Speaker 1: of people waiting for the perfect time you get their
- 4:04Speaker 1: life started. They think they're gonna be happy when they've
- 4:08Speaker 1: got the qualification or the money in the bank, or
- 4:10Speaker 1: the relationship or the job they dreamed of. Guess what,
- 4:14Speaker 1: it doesn't work out. Then when you've got nothing or
- 4:17Speaker 1: you think it's not coming, that's when you get good
- 4:20Speaker 1: at you. It's as simple as that.
- 4:22Speaker 2: No matter what you're going through, don't complain.
- 4:25Speaker 1: It's boring, it's offensive, it'll hold your back and nobody cares.
- 4:30Speaker 2: To get over yourself.
- 4:31Speaker 4: Get busy and find the thing you can do.
- 5:47Speaker 1: So let me tell you something. The fear of regret
- 5:50Speaker 1: is way worse than the fear of failure. Because you fail,
- 5:53Speaker 1: you learn to get up, you do it again. If
- 5:56Speaker 1: you don't do anything because of that and you live
- 5:58Speaker 1: with regret, you can't fixate. The fear of failure is
- 6:03Speaker 1: one of the greatest retardant of people's success because they're
- 6:08Speaker 1: worries so much about what if I fail? What if
- 6:10Speaker 1: it doesn't work out? What you have to read, something
- 6:13Speaker 1: that matters, or it doesn't count. I've failed so many
- 6:17Speaker 1: times I lost count, you know, whether it's with business
- 6:20Speaker 1: or life or personal stuff. Sometimes you screw it up,
- 6:23Speaker 1: but you learn and you get better at it, and
- 6:25Speaker 1: you master your craft. You become a better human, You
- 6:28Speaker 1: help others.
- 6:33Speaker 4: Not every day is going to be fucking sunshine and
- 6:36Speaker 4: green bottles.
- 6:38Speaker 2: You ever feel like quitting?
- 6:40Speaker 1: You know, I always say don't quit, but everybody faces
- 6:44Speaker 1: that sometimes daily where you've just had enough and you
- 6:48Speaker 1: feel like giving up on yourself and your dreams and
- 6:51Speaker 1: your passion.
- 6:52Speaker 2: Hey, and I'm just like you. I don't have all
- 6:53Speaker 2: the answers, but what I do.
- 6:55Speaker 1: Know is that quitting is not an option because if
- 6:59Speaker 1: you give up, you're never going to find out how
- 7:01Speaker 1: close you were to breaking through. Right, whatever it means,
- 7:04Speaker 1: whatever it is, And let me tell you something, nobody
- 7:07Speaker 1: else has to understand or approve.
- 7:10Speaker 2: What it is is in your heart.
- 7:11Speaker 1: Right, So be obsessed, be unreasonable with yourself, really aim high,
- 7:18Speaker 1: dream big, big, big big, because if you.
- 7:20Speaker 2: Dream small, you're going to get small results.
- 7:23Speaker 1: If you dream big and unreasonable, if if you don't
- 7:26Speaker 1: get there, you're going to have one hell of a ride.
- 7:29Speaker 1: You're going to find out a whole lot along the way,
- 7:31Speaker 1: meet some great people, and live your life.
- 7:33Speaker 4: There's so many things you're not going to want to
- 7:34Speaker 4: do every day, but if you want to, if you
- 7:37Speaker 4: want to succeed in life, you need sometimes you need
- 7:40Speaker 4: to do the things you don't.
- 7:41Speaker 2: Want to do.
- 7:42Speaker 1: So if you're sort of going through life and you're
- 7:46Speaker 1: not happy with your existence and you don't like your
- 7:48Speaker 1: job or who you're with, or where you live or
- 7:51Speaker 1: what you get to do each day, and maybe it's
- 7:54Speaker 1: time to shake things up a bit because you might
- 7:57Speaker 1: just get one chance at this and imagine living with
- 8:02Speaker 1: regret when it's too late and you wish that you
- 8:05Speaker 1: could have taken a risk or been brave, or roll
- 8:08Speaker 1: the dice a little bit. Because this morning I'm walking
- 8:12Speaker 1: through a cemetery. I'm wondering everybody here died, how many
- 8:20Speaker 1: really lived? How do you want to live your life?
- 8:24Speaker 1: There's some really old graves here. I'm sure that some
- 8:26Speaker 1: of these people didn't get the opportunity for We've got
- 8:29Speaker 1: We're live in the greatest time in history right now.
- 8:36Speaker 1: You can read all the books in the world, you
- 8:38Speaker 1: can follow all the inspirational people in the world.
- 8:41Speaker 2: You can get up and.
- 8:41Speaker 1: Saying how I'm going to do it, but it takes action,
- 8:44Speaker 1: real action.
- 8:45Speaker 2: You've got to take risks.
- 8:46Speaker 1: You've got to believe in yourself, You've got to risk
- 8:48Speaker 1: something that mattered.
- 8:50Speaker 2: It's a wonderful world.
- 8:51Speaker 1: Just remember your worst day is better than somebody's best day,
- 8:55Speaker 1: so celebrate that.
- 8:57Speaker 2: Be the best you can be. You're all in it all.
- 9:05Speaker 2: Everyone can imagine losing the lovely thing that you would
- 9:12Speaker 2: gladly damn real chery. That's what it's all about. One
- 9:29Speaker 2: step at a time, keep going, do something every day
- 9:33Speaker 2: and never give up.
- 9:33Speaker 1: Attitude is everything, no matter what you're facing in life,
- 9:37Speaker 1: it's your.
- 9:37Speaker 2: Attitude that will determine your outcome.
- 9:40Speaker 1: And you can feel sorry for yourself or you can
- 9:42Speaker 1: get up and get fucking moving.
- 9:43Speaker 2: It's up to you. But being a victim never pays off.
- 9:47Speaker 2: So I'm going to do this and attack it like
- 9:49Speaker 2: a job. I'm going to be obsessed about it.
- 9:51Speaker 1: And if you're going to be good at something, you
- 9:52Speaker 1: have to be fucking obsessed. Don't hold back, don't let
- 9:56Speaker 1: other people talk you down, be your very best. And
- 9:59Speaker 1: if somebody there's just about to give up hanging there
