• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Why are most people living a life of average, of mediocrity,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: of just pathetic, boring lives. I'm going to tell you
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: it's because they compromise. They continuously compromise on their goals
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: and dream You begin to compromise the goals and dreams
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: that you have, you begin to negotiate them away. And
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: I often wonder to myself why you would do this?
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: You only get one run at life. You know there
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: is no like second run, There is no trial run.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: If you think this is a trial run my second
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: time around, I'm really going to go all in.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: You're not. You're not. This is it.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: And so if you are here and you've got goals
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: and dreams, why would you ever compromise?
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: We are taking apart, slowly, convinced to take an easier path,
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: enticed by comfort. Most of us aren't defeated in one
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: decisive battle. We are defeated one tiny, seeming insignificant surrender
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: at a time that chips away at who we should
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: really be. It isn't that you wake up one day
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: and decide that's it, I'm going to be weak. No,
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: it is a slow, incremental process. It chips away at
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: our will. It chips away at our discipline. We sleep
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: in a little later, we miss a workout, then another,
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: and without realizing it, one day you wake up and
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: you've become something that you never would have allowed. Instead
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: of strong, you are weak. You have to be on guard.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: You have to hold the line on the seemingly insignificant
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: little things, things that shouldn't matter, but things that do
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: what you.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: Gotta do to get the life that God wants you
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: to have. You gotta put more air your bubble. You
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: got to blow your bubble up, expand yourself, take yourself
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: out of your comfort zone. Do not live in your bubble.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Put some more air in your bubble. If you stay
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: in your comfort zone, that's why you will fail. You
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: will fail in your comfort zone. Success is not a
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: comfortable procedure.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Every day, do something that moves you toward that goal,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: that keeps that goal alive and insight and in focus.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: However small or insignificant that step might seem.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Take it, do.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: It, make it happen, because that goal isn't going to
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: achieve itself. It is all on you.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: There is no capability difference between you and someone you
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: consider it to be an ultimate role model of success,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: the only difference is they've learned a manager state and
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: they've learned to control their mental focus. Whatever we concentrate
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: our focus on, consistently strive to learn from, we will
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: get great at. I don't care what it is. If
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: you focus on a daily and you're striving better, you're
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: gonna make little distinctions that will make you more and
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: more effective every single day.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Look up, Look up and recognize that there is a
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: way out. There is a path for you.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: To take that.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: It's not an easy path. It takes courage and it's hard.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: But what is the other choice? What else can we do?
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Let the darkness completely consume us, be overtaken by temptation. Advice, No,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: do not accept that you could triumph over these dark forces.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: You can become better, You can be.
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: Better, But if you don't put yourself out here, if
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: you don't become actively involved in life, if you hold
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: back on yourself and continue to procrastinate. Most people go
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: through life it's volunteer victims. They go through life volunteering
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: to the victims, giving excuses and why they're not pursuing
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: their greatness, giving excuses on why they're not doing the
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: things that they want to do. Putting it off again
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: and again and again, wasting valuable time.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Life is very valuable, ladies and gentlemen.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: Time is very fad and it's very fragile. You've got
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: to decide to do what you can right now and
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: don't delay. The major key to your taking charge of your.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Destiny is you.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: It's you, And even though you might not have all
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: the things going for you.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: That you would like, you have the power within you.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: As you begin to develop your consciousness, as you hold
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: the vision of what it is that you want to do,
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: as you decide to answer this small voice within you.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: Because as you respond to this voice that's telling you
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: you ought to do this, the way will come, ideas
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: will come to you. You will begin to attract things
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: you need and things that you don't even know that
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: you need right now.
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: The results is the name of the game. What other
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: game is there?
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: And I'm young if you'll start with that, It's called
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: the process of life change. And it doesn't matter how
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: small the process is. To start, one discipline startship, and
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: then one discipline feeds another feeds another, and the first
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: thing you know, you've got this whole cycle in an
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: upward positive motion and it's called life.
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: Change, it's called income in it, it's called.
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: Health, change, relationship with your family, change equities unprecedented that
• 5:28
  Speaker 7: you can have in numbers that will stagger the imagination
• 5:32
  Speaker 7: if you do not curse what's available and start amending
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: what possible to.
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: Give the results it for. I don't think I could
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: put it in any better, he said. It's not what
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: happens that determines the major part of your future. It's
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: not what happens. What happens happens to it's all said.
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: The key is what you do about it. It's not
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: what happens, it's what you do. And you said, if
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: you will start that process, change.
• 5:59
  Speaker 7: Do something different than next ninety days than we did
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: the last ninety days, like picking up the books to read.
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: Do something different like the new health, this good relationship
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: with your family, whatever it is, it doesn't matter how
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: small it is. You'll start doing different things with the
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: same circumstances. Since we cannot change the circumstances, but we
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: can change ourselves, can change what we do.
• 6:27
  Speaker 8: For many people, the haunting begins the minute they wake up.
• 6:33
  Speaker 8: Maybe they are fat, or disabled, feel ugly, or are
• 6:37
  Speaker 8: failing and overwhelmed. At school or work, and it consumes them.
• 6:43
  Speaker 8: Their obsession with their own imperfections and false suffocates self
• 6:48
  Speaker 8: respect and submarines progress, and from the time they get
• 6:51
  Speaker 8: out of bed until they are able to crawl back
• 6:53
  Speaker 8: in that night, the only thing on their agenda is
• 6:57
  Speaker 8: avoiding exposure and surviving another.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: Day in hell.
• 7:01
  Speaker 8: When that's how you feel about your self, it's impossible
• 7:05
  Speaker 8: to see possibilities or seize opportunities. We have to learn
• 7:11
  Speaker 8: to stop looking for a sign that the hard time
• 7:13
  Speaker 8: will end. When the distance is unknown, it is even
• 7:17
  Speaker 8: more critical that you stay locked in so the unknown
• 7:20
  Speaker 8: factor doesn't steal your focus. The end will come when
• 7:24
  Speaker 8: it comes, and anticipation will only distract you from completing
• 7:29
  Speaker 8: the task in front of you to the best of
• 7:31
  Speaker 8: your ability. Remember, the struggle is the whole journey. That's
• 7:36
  Speaker 8: why you're out there. That's why you signed up for
• 7:40
  Speaker 8: this race or that class, or took the damn job.
• 7:45
  Speaker 8: There is great beauty when you are involved in something
• 7:47
  Speaker 8: that is so hard most people want it to end.
• 7:51
  Speaker 8: We can make any obstacle as big or small as
• 7:56
  Speaker 8: we like. When you're climbing a mountain or involved in
• 8:01
  Speaker 8: any other difficult task, the only way to free yourself
• 8:06
  Speaker 8: from the struggle is to finish it. So why bitch
• 8:10
  Speaker 8: about it when it gets hard? Why hope it will
• 8:14
  Speaker 8: end soon when you know it will end eventually. When
• 8:18
  Speaker 8: you complain and your mind starts groping for the eject button,
• 8:23
  Speaker 8: you are not bring your best self to the task,
• 8:26
  Speaker 8: which means you are actually prolonging the pain. The hard
• 8:29
  Speaker 8: chargers keep their heads down and hammer away. They've trained
• 8:32
  Speaker 8: their minds to stay hard in those hard moments. They
• 8:35
  Speaker 8: recognize the false summit for what it is and will
• 8:38
  Speaker 8: always act as if they are nowhere near the top.
• 8:42
  Speaker 8: Most people slow down and suffer on a steep trail,
• 8:45
  Speaker 8: but slope and elevation are of no.
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: Consequence to the hard charger.
• 8:51
  Speaker 8: They keep their mind in attack mode until there are
• 8:54
  Speaker 8: no more mountains to climb, and when they actually reach
• 8:57
  Speaker 8: the top, they wish it had.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Lasted a little bit longer.
• 9:01
  Speaker 8: If you want to maximize minimal potential and become great
• 9:04
  Speaker 8: in any field, you must embrace your savage side and
• 9:07
  Speaker 8: become imbalanced, at least for a period of time. You'll
• 9:11
  Speaker 8: need to funnel every minute of every single day into
• 9:15
  Speaker 8: the pursuit of that degree. That starting spot that job,
• 9:20
  Speaker 8: that edge your mind must never leave the cockpit, sleep
• 9:25
  Speaker 8: at the library or the office, hoop long past sundown,
• 9:28
  Speaker 8: and fall asleep watching film of your next opponent. There
• 9:32
  Speaker 8: are no days off and there is no downtime when
• 9:36
  Speaker 8: you are obsessed with being great. That is what it
• 9:38
  Speaker 8: takes to be the baddest mother ever. At what you do,
• 9:42
  Speaker 8: know that your dedication will be misunderstood, some relationships may
• 9:47
  Speaker 8: break down. The savage is not a socialized beast, and
• 9:51
  Speaker 8: an imbalanced lifestyle often appears selfish from the outside. But
• 9:56
  Speaker 8: the reason I've been able to help so many people
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: with my life's story is precisely because I embraced being
• 10:03
  Speaker 8: that imbalanced while I pursued the impossible dream of becoming
• 10:09
  Speaker 8: the hardest mother ever. That's a mythical title, but it
• 10:14
  Speaker 8: came my compass, bearing my north star.
• 10:17
  Speaker 9: It is one of the strange ironies of this strange
• 10:21
  Speaker 9: life that those who work the hardest, who subject themselves
• 10:24
  Speaker 9: to the strictest discipline, who give up certain pleasurable things
• 10:28
  Speaker 9: in order to achieve a goal, are the happiest. When
• 10:32
  Speaker 9: you see twenty or thirty people line up for a
• 10:36
  Speaker 9: distance race and some meet, don't pity them. Don't feel
• 10:40
  Speaker 9: sorry for them, better envy them instead, or a person
• 10:45
  Speaker 9: who has never tested their self discipline over a long
• 10:49
  Speaker 9: period of time. It's hard to believe that giving up
• 10:52
  Speaker 9: pleasure can lead to immense happiness and living your life
• 10:56
  Speaker 9: the hard way makes it easier. People who vau entirely
• 11:00
  Speaker 9: expose themselves to challenges are more capable of handling unforeseen hardships. Moreover,
• 11:07
  Speaker 9: giving up certain pleasures, such as unhealthy food and sitting
• 11:11
  Speaker 9: all day in front of the TV can lead to
• 11:14
  Speaker 9: immense improvements in one's well being. Maintaining a healthy weight
• 11:18
  Speaker 9: and beneficial nutritional habits doesn't just lead to physical improvements.
• 11:23
  Speaker 9: It also affects self esteem, reduces the risk for depression,
• 11:28
  Speaker 9: and improves your body image. Giving up on pleasurable things,
• 11:33
  Speaker 9: such as spending money without control, can also help you
• 11:36
  Speaker 9: avoid crushing problems in the future. Today it might be
• 11:40
  Speaker 9: inconvenient that you can't spend your entire salary, but tomorrow
• 11:44
  Speaker 9: your savings can save you from bankruptcy or pay for
• 11:48
  Speaker 9: an urgent medical intervention. Lastly, self discipline is in itself
• 11:53
  Speaker 9: a manifestation of your higher being and is connected with
• 11:57
  Speaker 9: nobler strivings. A human being reduced to its primal form,
• 12:02
  Speaker 9: has little ability for self control. Operating in scarcity mode
• 12:07
  Speaker 9: and left to its own devices, your primal brain will
• 12:10
  Speaker 9: stuff your body until you won't be able to walk.
• 12:13
  Speaker 9: It will make you cheat on your partner with every
• 12:17
  Speaker 9: passing stranger. It will assume that every step outside the
• 12:21
  Speaker 9: comfort zone is a danger, and so you'll never grow.
• 12:24
  Speaker 9: Exerting self control is working against the dominance of your
• 12:27
  Speaker 9: primal brain. You forego primal urges in order to reach
• 12:31
  Speaker 9: bigger and more important goals, or to cultivate values that
• 12:35
  Speaker 9: are important to you. You can live your life in
• 12:39
  Speaker 9: a way that is congruent with who you are as
• 12:41
  Speaker 9: a deeply complex human being, not a mere animal with
• 12:46
  Speaker 9: the ability to reason. This leads to experiencing a wide
• 12:51
  Speaker 9: variety of experiences that life has to offer. Many of
• 12:55
  Speaker 9: them are immensely more gratifying than merely satisfying the most
• 12:59
  Speaker 9: basic human needs. Don't wait for tomorrow to do something
• 13:04
  Speaker 9: you can do today. Have you been pondering starting on
• 13:09
  Speaker 9: a new goal, but are still procrastinating on it. Come
• 13:13
  Speaker 9: up with the easiest, simplest and quickest action you can
• 13:17
  Speaker 9: take today to initiate momentum. If you want to stop
• 13:20
  Speaker 9: eating sugar, eliminate all chocolate bars from your house, or
• 13:24
  Speaker 9: choose one day a week during which you won't eat
• 13:27
  Speaker 9: sugar in any form. Take it from there, step by step.
• 13:31
  Speaker 9: If you want to start exercising on a regular basis,
• 13:35
  Speaker 9: do three pushups in three squats now or any other
• 13:38
  Speaker 9: super quick exercise. Tomorrow, do one more repetition. Find a
• 13:43
  Speaker 9: more suitable workout once you establish the basic habit of
• 13:46
  Speaker 9: some exercise, even if it's just a few pushups a day.
• 13:50
  Speaker 9: If you want to start saving money, take just one
• 13:53
  Speaker 9: dollar out of your wallet and put it in a jar. Yes,
• 13:56
  Speaker 9: it won't change anything today, but if you add one
• 13:58
  Speaker 9: dollar for the next three months, you'll have saved one
• 14:01
  Speaker 9: hundred bucks and established a habit of saving. There's no
• 14:05
  Speaker 9: excuse to not take any of those simple actions now
• 14:08
  Speaker 9: and finally break the chain of procrastination. Don't overthink it,
• 14:12
  Speaker 9: and don't obsess over the future. Take care of establishing
• 14:16
  Speaker 9: a tiny habit today and take it from there.
