• 0:27
  Hey everybody, good morning. So today we are talking about
• 0:31
  what beliefs you hold about yourself.
• 0:34
  Yesterday I had the privilege of taking my son to an interview
• 0:39
  for an internship at a company that does heating, plumbing,
• 0:45
  HVAC, all kinds of stuff like that because my son wants to be
• 0:49
  a plumber and I, I have to say I'm incredibly impressed that he
• 0:53
  has made a decision about this. He's fascinated by it.
• 0:57
  He he is mechanical as the day is long, building a motorcycle
• 1:02
  for himself, taking the engine apart.
• 1:05
  Last night something went wrong. He already diagnosed it has to
• 1:08
  try to figure out how to do, you know, fix it.
• 1:11
  But he's extremely mechanical and the idea of doing plumbing
• 1:16
  is fascinating. Tim has no no interest in
• 1:19
  electrician, but was really fascinated.
• 1:21
  I think the plumbing thing came up because of his fish tanks and
• 1:24
  he's got very large fish tanks and he watched a bunch of
• 1:27
  different videos in his school about career exploration.
• 1:32
  And when he learned that all the things that plumbers are
• 1:35
  involved with, he was fascinated by it.
• 1:38
  So we reached out, We were going to go to a technical school.
• 1:44
  They didn't offer it for plumbing because apparently
• 1:46
  plumbers have to be trained very specifically by other plumbers,
• 1:49
  which is really what's interesting about it.
• 1:51
  And we reached out to a company that I saw about a commercial on
• 1:57
  television. And the guy that owned the
• 1:59
  company was doing the commercial, and he was just
• 2:01
  incredibly sincere and you could just tell.
• 2:04
  And I reached out and I asked them if they were doing
• 2:07
  internships on plumbing and they said they don't usually do it,
• 2:10
  but they would because it's, it's a long process, but they
• 2:13
  would love to talk to him. So we went down and sat with the
• 2:19
  person that would be his manager and the person who would be his
• 2:23
  trainer from the office. And I, I got to witness first
• 2:28
  hand what we believe about ourselves.
• 2:31
  The man was asking my son very specific questions and he said
• 2:35
  to him, so tell me, what do you believe about doing this job?
• 2:40
  And he said, I believe it's going to be awesome.
• 2:44
  I'm going to have my hands dirty all the time.
• 2:46
  I'm I just, I'm curious. I want to know.
• 2:48
  And I watched how he framed himself and what he had to say
• 2:52
  about it. Now, my son is 16 years old and
• 2:56
  most 16 year old kids don't have a ton of confidence, in my
• 3:01
  experience, to walk in with a room full of adults, sit at a,
• 3:05
  at a, you know, a meeting table, really a corporate table that
• 3:09
  they had set up because it's a pretty big company, and answer
• 3:13
  questions from different people. And he did and he shook hands
• 3:18
  and he was strong. And the man said to him, you
• 3:21
  know, I believe that you believe everything you're saying.
• 3:24
  And he goes, oh, I'm confident. And it was and it came out of
• 3:29
  him so strong. And one, of course, OK, so
• 3:32
  that's me having a brag moment about my son saying look at look
• 3:36
  at how confident he is. Look at the young man he has
• 3:38
  become. But it's also a lot of work that
• 3:41
  we've done. It's we've put him in the
• 3:43
  position to grow. We let him fail.
• 3:45
  He has a job where he's already gone into this.
• 3:48
  But it's also more than that. It's about teaching him how to
• 3:51
  talk to himself. And whenever he gets frustrated
• 3:53
  or has gotten frustrated in the past, we have lots of
• 3:56
  conversations about you have to believe, you have to have that
• 4:00
  belief in yourself. And yesterday I witnessed first
• 4:04
  hand how that shows up because when they asked him specific
• 4:08
  questions about what he believed, because he's going
• 4:10
  into something that's going to be very difficult.
• 4:13
  It's a long path to become a master plumber.
• 4:15
  And that's what he wants to do. And the guy said to him, well,
• 4:19
  what's going to happen when it gets hard?
• 4:21
  And he's like, well, you could see that he was like stunned
• 4:25
  even by the question. He goes, what do you mean?
• 4:27
  I'm not going to give up. I'm just, I, I'm going to keep
• 4:30
  going. I'm going to have questions.
• 4:31
  I'm going to lean on people that can answer questions for me.
• 4:35
  He's like, I like asking questions and when he said that
• 4:39
  I was like, look at his beliefs about himself.
• 4:41
  So the the real crux of this today is what do you believe
• 4:46
  about yourself? Do you believe that you're
• 4:48
  capable? Do you believe that you can go
• 4:50
  in and and learn? Do you believe that you can go
• 4:53
  in and set yourself up to win? Or do you believe that it's
• 4:57
  hard? Do you believe that it's, you
• 4:59
  know, overwhelming? Your beliefs dictate these
• 5:03
  outcomes so much more than you could ever imagine, my friends.
• 5:07
  And when you do see it happening, when you see right
• 5:11
  before your eyes what's going on, like I witnessed with my
• 5:14
  son, it is amazing to say, hey, you know what?
• 5:18
  I'm I, I can do this. And that's what he did.
• 5:22
  And that's what you can do by making sure you're aligned and
• 5:26
  understand those beliefs and fix them if they're not in the right
• 5:30
  place and shift them to positive beliefs by telling yourself, no,
• 5:36
  that's a bunch of crap. And I'm not going to believe
• 5:38
  that about myself. I'm going to believe this.
• 5:40
  And you push yourself to do it. It's a question of pushing.
• 5:44
  It's a question of making yourself be so hungry for the
• 5:49
  greater good of who you are. Leave nothing on the table.
• 5:53
  You know that old saying about you know, when I die, I don't
• 5:56
  want there to be any music left in me.
• 5:58
  I don't want to leave anything on the table.
• 6:00
  If I had to be really honest, I would say that's exactly why I
• 6:04
  push myself. I have no idea what my time
• 6:07
  frame is and I have no way of knowing, and I refuse to leave
• 6:12
  anything on the table. That's just the end right there.
• 6:16
  I refuse to leave it on the table because you've heard me
• 6:19
  say this before, but I'll remind you the real definition of hell
• 6:23
  is when the person you are meets the person you could have been.
• 6:27
  So on that note, go out and figure that out and really nail
• 6:32
  those beliefs. I hope you all have a blessed
• 6:34
  day and I will see you tomorrow. Bye.
