Speaker 1: You know, people get up every day they do the
0:03
Speaker 1: same thing, tell themself they're going to change their life
0:07
Speaker 1: one day, and they never do.
0:10
Speaker 2: I'm going to change my mind. What would you do
0:13
Speaker 2: if you weren't afraid?
0:14
Speaker 3: I love thinking about that when I'm thinking about big
0:17
Speaker 3: life decisions, like what would I do if I weren't afraid?
0:20
Speaker 3: And it's usually like the big one, the bigger thing
0:23
Speaker 3: that I really want to do, but I'm afraid to
0:24
Speaker 3: do it.
0:25
Speaker 2: It's like that's what I should do, Like what would
0:27
Speaker 2: I do if I weren't afraid? And what would I
0:29
Speaker 2: do if I knew I couldn't fail?
0:31
Speaker 4: Well, you should be afraid of taking risks and pursuing
0:34
Speaker 4: something meaningful, but you should be more afraid of staying
0:38
Speaker 4: where you are if it's making you miserable. It's like
0:40
Speaker 4: the first thing you want to do is dispense with
0:42
Speaker 4: the idea that you get to have any permanent security
0:47
Speaker 4: outside of your ability to contend and adapt. It's the
0:50
Speaker 4: same issue with children. It's like you're paying a price
0:53
Speaker 4: by sitting there being miserable. And you might say, well,
0:56
Speaker 4: the devil I know is better than the one I don't.
0:58
Speaker 4: It's like, don't be so sure of that. The clock
1:00
Speaker 4: is ticking. And if you're miserable in your job now
1:03
Speaker 4: and you change nothing in five years, you will be
1:06
Speaker 4: much more miserable, and you'll be a lot older.
1:09
Speaker 5: If you play it safe, you're going to exist. You
1:15
Speaker 5: only get to live when you take risk. Ain't no
1:20
Speaker 5: living in safety. You can't be the man if you
1:24
Speaker 5: don't jump. You can't be top dog unless you and
1:28
Speaker 5: unless you fight the other dog. Ain't nobody finna give
1:31
Speaker 5: you the championship. You don't win the title without coming
1:34
Speaker 5: to the fight. You don't win a fight without train.
1:38
Speaker 6: Following your dreams is a lonely, solitary, scary, dangerous pursuit.
1:44
Speaker 6: You can't wait for somebody to think you can do it.
1:48
Speaker 6: And you gotta be willing to risk everything to become
1:51
Speaker 6: that seed of what you believe you feel in there.
1:54
Speaker 6: You gotta be fearless, you gotta be relentless.
1:57
Speaker 7: Risk is to drive me right up the wall. I
2:00
Speaker 7: used to say, what if this happens? It's called the
2:05
Speaker 7: language of the poor. What if this happens?
2:09
Speaker 8: And on top of that, if this was to happen,
2:11
Speaker 8: look at the fix I'd be and I'd better not
2:13
Speaker 8: try then I'll tell you what changed my whole life
2:16
Speaker 8: when I finally discovered it's all risky.
2:21
Speaker 7: The minute you were born, it got risky.
2:24
Speaker 8: If you think trying is risky, wait till they hand
2:27
Speaker 8: you the bill for not trying. If you think investing
2:32
Speaker 8: is risky, wait till you get the tab for not investing.
2:34
Speaker 7: See, it's all risky. Getting married is risky. Having children
2:37
Speaker 7: is risky. Going into business is risky. Investing your money
2:40
Speaker 7: is risky.
2:40
Speaker 8: It's all risky.
2:43
Speaker 7: I'll tell you how risky life is. You're not gonna
2:46
Speaker 7: get out alive.
2:47
Speaker 9: You need to put yourself in uncomfortable situations, in uncomfortable scenarios. Okay,
2:53
Speaker 9: if you do easy things, you.
2:55
Speaker 2: Will have a hard life. If you do hard things,
2:58
Speaker 2: you will have an easy life.
2:59
Speaker 9: Let me say again, if you do easy things, you
3:02
Speaker 9: will have a hard life. If you do hard things,
3:05
Speaker 9: you will have an easy life. As a man, you
3:07
Speaker 9: have to understand that we as men, we do better
3:09
Speaker 9: in environments where we are uncomfortable. Okay, you put pressure
3:13
Speaker 9: on a rock, it turns into a diamond.
3:16
Speaker 7: You gotta let go of that stuff from the past
3:18
Speaker 7: because it just doesn't matter.
3:20
Speaker 2: The only thing that.
3:21
Speaker 7: Matters is what you choose to be now.
3:25
Speaker 10: The comfort zone is dangerous. When you're comfortable, you are
3:30
Speaker 10: most dangerous. The comfort zone is somewhere you need to
3:35
Speaker 10: You should never feel comfortable. You should be happy and dissatisfied.
3:40
Speaker 10: Anybody ever tell you, hey, hey, look, you know what.
3:42
Speaker 2: Just be satisfied with what you got. Don't believe get.
3:45
Speaker 11: Them away from you.
3:46
Speaker 10: You should never be satisfied with what you got because
3:49
Speaker 10: the attempt to get more makes you into something better.
3:54
Speaker 10: Don't let anybody tell you, hey, man, you know you
3:56
Speaker 10: should just be a happy way.
3:58
Speaker 6: No nobody knows but you. You can't get advice on
4:02
Speaker 6: what you should do with your life right.
4:05
Speaker 2: Nobody knows what you are.
4:08
Speaker 6: Even sometimes you don't really even know what you are.
4:11
Speaker 2: You gotta take your shot.
4:13
Speaker 6: As much as you want people to agree, and you
4:15
Speaker 6: want the people around you to be supporting your dreams
4:18
Speaker 6: and all, it's not gonna be like that all the time.
4:21
Speaker 2: You gotta do.
4:21
Speaker 6: It alone, and people will help you. And when you
4:25
Speaker 6: get the ball, roll and people will jump on. But
4:27
Speaker 6: if you don't believe, nobody else is gonna believe.
4:30
Speaker 3: But one of the things that really motivates me, or
4:33
Speaker 3: one of my most powerful motivational frames is thinking about
4:37
Speaker 3: the person that I want to become as the destination
4:40
Speaker 3: and thinking like I want to be bulletproof.
4:43
Speaker 2: I want to be bulletproof in these ways.
4:45
Speaker 3: I want to be bulletproof in my marriage, I want
4:47
Speaker 3: to be bulletproof in my business, etc. And I think
4:50
Speaker 3: about that man, whoever I want him to be. Like
4:53
Speaker 3: we said, hell is when you look at who you
4:54
Speaker 3: could have been and realize that you're not that person.
4:57
Speaker 3: And then I think, if I were to make that man,
5:01
Speaker 3: what would I put that man through to make him
5:03
Speaker 3: who he is? Like it wouldn't be easy times. It
5:07
Speaker 3: wouldn't be quick wins. It wouldn't even be easy wins.
5:11
Speaker 3: It would be the toil and the struggle of achieving
5:15
Speaker 3: and reaching for things that are right out of grasp,
5:21
Speaker 3: that are right above my threshold and continuing to do
5:23
Speaker 3: that to like lift the weight, to build the muscle,
5:25
Speaker 3: to break it down and do it over and over again,
5:27
Speaker 3: because like that's what creates the character traits that are
5:29
Speaker 3: the man that.
5:30
Speaker 2: I want to be.
5:31
Speaker 3: And so when I'm going through there was like really
5:33
Speaker 3: harder times. I like to think of like looking in
5:37
Speaker 3: my mental mirror of like I'm making you. I'm not
5:39
Speaker 3: there yet, but I'm making you.
5:42
Speaker 2: See.
5:42
Speaker 12: The one thing I want you to promise me is
5:43
Speaker 12: that no matter how long it takes, keep going, no
5:46
Speaker 12: matter how much it hurts, keep going.
5:49
Speaker 2: So you was placed on his r for a reason.
5:50
Speaker 11: You weren't meant to be out of it.
5:51
Speaker 2: You were mental exail.
5:53
Speaker 12: Not understand is grind is meant to make you who
5:55
Speaker 12: he's supposed to be, a dull little grin. I never
5:57
Speaker 12: hurt nobody. It's not being a sawt LIS's embrace it.
6:01
Speaker 12: If you go through that fire, you're gonna come out
6:02
Speaker 12: real cold. That's what we won't.
6:05
Speaker 13: So I wanted to project myself forward to age eighty,
6:09
Speaker 13: and it's okay. Now I'm looking back on my life.
6:11
Speaker 13: I want to have minimized the number of regrets I have.
6:15
Speaker 13: And you know, I knew that when I was eighty,
6:18
Speaker 13: I was not going to regret having tried this. I
6:21
Speaker 13: was not going to regret having wanted, you know, trying
6:25
Speaker 13: to participate in this thing called the Internet that I
6:27
Speaker 13: thought was going to be a really big deal. I
6:29
Speaker 13: knew that if I failed, I wouldn't regret that. But
6:33
Speaker 13: I knew the one thing I might regret is not
6:36
Speaker 13: ever having tried, and I knew that that would haunt
6:38
Speaker 13: me every day. When I thought about it that way,
6:41
Speaker 13: it was an incredibly easy decision.
6:44
Speaker 2: And I get old think about things.
6:48
Speaker 14: Myshtimate historically eighty percent of the time it ends up
6:52
Speaker 14: in the can, like Johnny Shack.
6:56
Speaker 2: As no reward. Did I take enough risk? Did I
6:59
Speaker 2: put myself off O?
7:00
Speaker 15: You definitely didn't. So you definitely did not. And here's
7:04
Speaker 15: how I know it, at least again one man's point
7:06
Speaker 15: of view. I'm not sure anybody is taking enough risk
7:10
Speaker 15: from twenty to thirty. It is the most interesting thing
7:14
Speaker 15: that I've been thinking about, which is it is never
7:16
Speaker 15: more practical to be disproportionately risky than from twenty two
7:20
Speaker 15: to thirty. Yet everybody goes the other way because now
7:24
Speaker 15: they're the real world and it's time to prove something
7:26
Speaker 15: to their parents, to themselves, to everybody else, and everybody
7:30
Speaker 15: goes conservative.
7:32
Speaker 16: And that's when I realized that there's two ways to
7:34
Speaker 16: see the world. Some people see the thing that they want,
7:39
Speaker 16: and some people see the thing that prevents them from
7:41
Speaker 16: getting the thing that they want.
7:44
Speaker 17: This next five year window is when you don't go
7:46
Speaker 17: practical and safe. This is not the time to get
7:50
Speaker 17: the job mom wanted you to. This is the time
7:52
Speaker 17: to realize that you have a five year window. And
7:55
Speaker 17: it's three for some, it's eight for others. But there's
7:57
Speaker 17: a five year window for you to attack the life
8:00
Speaker 17: that you want to win.
8:02
Speaker 10: Don't have to let somebody tell you.
8:05
Speaker 1: Can't do something, not even me.
8:10
Speaker 2: You got a.
8:10
Speaker 1: Dream, you got to protect it. People can't do something themselves.
8:17
Speaker 1: They want to tell you can't do it. You want something,
8:22
Speaker 1: go get it. Period.
8:24
Speaker 3: This is why I'm a big, big believer in this
8:26
Speaker 3: is that when you are starting out, I think you
8:28
Speaker 3: gotta find the thing that's the pain. And like pain
8:31
Speaker 3: motivates significantly faster and stronger than pleasure does. Like people
8:34
Speaker 3: are like no passion is the right way. It's like
8:36
Speaker 3: point a gun at a family member all of a
8:38
Speaker 3: sudden ten out of ten motivation pain, And so like
8:42
Speaker 3: I think people should use their pain one.
8:45
Speaker 18: It wouldn't kill you to try. You know, spending a
8:48
Speaker 18: long time getting a life you would actually want is
8:52
Speaker 18: about a million times better than getting a quick turnaround
8:54
Speaker 18: time on a life that you'll forever be disappointed with.
8:58
Speaker 18: You know, playing it safe seems to fine. Until you
9:01
Speaker 18: get to the last moments of your life and realize
9:04
Speaker 18: all the potential that you threw away you can never
9:07
Speaker 18: get back, and I will never know.
9:10
Speaker 2: I fro an experience what.
9:12
Speaker 18: That feels like, but the thought of that realization is haunting.
9:18
Speaker 19: What matters is at some point you have to identify
9:21
Speaker 19: what you want to do, and you've got to become
9:23
Speaker 19: the best in the world at that period. Not really good,
9:25
Speaker 19: you've got to be the best in the world. So
9:27
Speaker 19: your thing in life at something, you've got.
9:31
Speaker 2: To become the best in the world at it.
9:32
Speaker 19: And if you're not prepared to go in with that
9:35
Speaker 19: mentality never going to get anywhere. I'm speaking to all
9:38
Speaker 19: of you out there that want to do something unbelievable.
9:41
Speaker 20: So many of us come from these small places in
9:45
Speaker 20: our mind that we're not willing to think outside only
9:50
Speaker 20: what we've seen. Our mind works in such a small compartment.
9:55
Speaker 2: And one thing I was.
9:56
Speaker 12: Able to do was to dream.
9:58
Speaker 20: And two you're able to really put yourself into that dream.
10:04
Speaker 20: But don't make dreams your master. That's where you truly
10:08
Speaker 20: become which you're destined to become.
10:10
Speaker 21: So you're always trying to come up with reasons that
10:13
Speaker 21: you don't have to do it today. But if you build,
10:19
Speaker 21: you're building the muscle. Either way, you're either building the
10:22
Speaker 21: muscle that says I do what I say, I keep
10:28
Speaker 21: the commitments that I make, or you're building the muscle
10:31
Speaker 21: that says I make excuses, I don't do what I say.
10:35
Speaker 21: I can't be counted on right. And so when we
10:38
Speaker 21: think about discipline, it's really about what promises are you.
10:41
Speaker 2: Going to keep?
10:42
Speaker 21: And the tricky thing is you're keeping promises to yourself
10:46
Speaker 21: and nobody even knows that you made right. It's not
10:49
Speaker 21: it's not like, hey, you made this comment, I don't
10:52
Speaker 21: write this book by this time, like, uh, you know
10:58
Speaker 21: I have to do this embarrassing the thing, or you
11:01
Speaker 21: know that all retire. You know they're not even You're
11:04
Speaker 21: not really putting your ass on the line in that sense,
11:07
Speaker 21: but you've said to yourself you're gonna do this thing,
11:09
Speaker 21: and building that muscle is really important.
11:12
Speaker 2: You have to take chances in life.
11:13
Speaker 5: If you don't take chances in life, you'll never have
11:17
Speaker 5: the life God has for you.
11:19
Speaker 2: Life is about risk.
11:22
Speaker 5: If you play it safe in life, you ain't gonna
11:25
Speaker 5: have much of a life. If you play it safe,
11:29
Speaker 5: you won't have much of a life. Life is risk.
11:32
Speaker 5: It takes courage to pursue your dreams. I just did it.
11:37
Speaker 5: It costs me everything. But eventually, God is very good man.
11:42
Speaker 5: When he sees you take a leap of faith, he
11:45
Speaker 5: supplies you everything you need.
11:46
Speaker 2: Now, it's gonna cost you something, but most.
11:49
Speaker 5: People are not willing to pay what it costs to
11:53
Speaker 5: go after your dream because you're gonna have to hurt
11:55
Speaker 5: a little bit.
11:57
Speaker 22: So at those times where you're questioning if you've anything left, No,
12:01
Speaker 22: a day from then, a week from them, a month
12:03
Speaker 22: from then, a year from them, you will never remember.
12:06
Speaker 2: Discomfort, the pain.
12:08
Speaker 22: You will always remember the pride, the accomplishment that lives on.
12:12
Speaker 22: That's why pain is temporary, pride forever. Guys, you give it,
12:16
Speaker 22: you're all, You get it all tenfold.
12:20
Speaker 23: What do you think all success starts with? Well, the
12:24
Speaker 23: fast answer is mindset, going back to the only belief
12:28
Speaker 23: that matters. You said it. It's the way you act
12:31
Speaker 23: is ultimately all the matters, and the way you act
12:33
Speaker 23: follows what you allow yourself to believe, or maybe a
12:35
Speaker 23: better way to say it is what you choose to believe.
12:38
Speaker 2: So if you choose to.
12:39
Speaker 23: Believe that your energy and efforts will result in more
12:41
Speaker 23: skill set, then you will actually put energy and effort
12:44
Speaker 23: into getting that, which means you actually will get the
12:46
Speaker 23: skill set. But if you think, well, my talent and
12:49
Speaker 23: intelligence are fixed, so no matter how much I work,
12:52
Speaker 23: I'm never going to get better. Right, I can't be
12:54
Speaker 23: a fast pick. And if you don't think that putting
12:58
Speaker 23: time and energy into it will yield anything, and you
13:00
Speaker 23: won't put time and energy into it, and you thusly
13:02
Speaker 23: won't get the skills. So and if you don't have
13:04
Speaker 23: the skills, then you can't do the things other people
13:06
Speaker 23: can do. And so people just get stuck because they
13:08
Speaker 23: don't have the only belief that matters, so they don't
13:11
Speaker 23: put the time and energy. And so that's like where
13:14
Speaker 23: everything starts. Is are you putting the time and energy
13:17
Speaker 23: into getting better?
13:18
Speaker 2: Yes or no? Everyone thinks you're crazy until it works.
13:24
Speaker 3: And so I mean, if you think of the outcome
13:27
Speaker 3: as the trump card, then all of the pain and
13:30
Speaker 3: suffering that you lead up to that point, if you're
13:32
Speaker 3: just think of an appropriate saying, I say, say balls
13:38
Speaker 3: deep certain that no matter what you will die or
13:44
Speaker 3: you will get there, Then the likelihood that all of
13:48
Speaker 3: the things that you've done up to that point will
13:49
Speaker 3: then be justified in retrospect is super high.
13:52
Speaker 2: And I actually see that as super.
13:55
Speaker 3: Compelling as a thing to latch onto in her times.
14:01
Speaker 22: Second ago pain, as it's almost like excruciating seconds later
14:06
Speaker 22: it like flows out of you, like you just pull
14:08
Speaker 22: the plug on your sake, and all the water and
14:11
Speaker 22: all the pressure just goes It is a greater feeling
14:13
Speaker 22: than what the pain was.
14:14
Speaker 2: I mean the pain you felt doing that. Man, it's
14:18
Speaker 2: overridden with pride.
14:19
Speaker 22: And when you feel and you pull that plug and
14:21
Speaker 22: all the water goes out, and all gain leaders look
14:23
Speaker 22: left there as all the war leads.
14:25
Speaker 24: It won't more, you won't sheat you.
14:28
Speaker 25: So don't let the pain rob you of your pretention.
14:31
Speaker 26: Guys, don't let in the what you can't do in
14:35
Speaker 26: the moments interfere what you know you can do.
14:39
Speaker 5: I mean, you don't the pain you can rob you
14:42
Speaker 5: of your belief or what you can be, because.
14:44
Speaker 25: Your body gives everything in your mind says, and anytime
14:48
Speaker 25: you had any kind of.
14:49
Speaker 22: Disforce or or you can be subject to the discomforts
14:53
Speaker 22: of the situation, your body remembers that.
14:57
Speaker 2: And your body's just a message. A security right here
15:00
Speaker 2: just delivers whatever this is. Hif you start.
15:03
Speaker 25: Thinking can't do and that pain's like, oh it pels,
15:05
Speaker 25: I get the pain. You think that body's gonna tell
15:07
Speaker 25: your pain that the boss of the world.
15:10
Speaker 2: Hey man, we can do it.
15:11
Speaker 18: Oh shit, it's like a little bit to your body
15:13
Speaker 18: is it's.
15:14
Speaker 2: Like, okay, who done? Then good?
15:16
Speaker 25: Body's just everything your mind says.
15:20
Speaker 22: Don't even give it a chance to think that kind
15:22
Speaker 22: of shit.
15:24
Speaker 27: My father could have been a great comedian, but he
15:26
Speaker 27: didn't believe that that was possible for him, and so
15:28
Speaker 27: he made a conservative choice.
15:30
Speaker 2: Instead.
15:31
Speaker 27: He got a safe job as an accountant, and when
15:33
Speaker 27: I was twelve years old, he was let go from
15:36
Speaker 27: that safe job, and our family had to do whatever
15:39
Speaker 27: we could to survive. I learned many great lessons from
15:42
Speaker 27: my father, not the least of which was that you
15:44
Speaker 27: can fail at what you don't want, so you might
15:47
Speaker 27: as well take a chance on doing what you love.
15:52
Speaker 18: The reason I'm gonna get what I want out of
15:54
Speaker 18: life is because i'mlike most I'm willing to have nothing.
15:58
Speaker 2: In the moment.
16:00
Speaker 18: Of course, it feels a world's better to have something
16:02
Speaker 18: right now, But unfortunately, what most people really want is
16:06
Speaker 18: not what's available right now.
16:09
Speaker 28: Those people with the best relationships, the best health, the
16:13
Speaker 28: best careers, it's because they were completely unwilling to settle
16:18
Speaker 28: for anything less than that. And you might think I'm
16:20
Speaker 28: overly optimistic because most people don't get those great outcomes,
16:25
Speaker 28: But I'm not most people, and you don't have to
16:28
Speaker 28: be either.
16:31
Speaker 29: Most of us we live in a box and we
16:34
Speaker 29: don't want to go outside that box at all.
16:36
Speaker 2: Ever. Outside that box.
16:40
Speaker 29: Is all these possibilities of life. But we do to
16:43
Speaker 29: we shackle our mind. We are a prisoner in our
16:45
Speaker 29: own mind that this is all I can do, is
16:48
Speaker 29: all I'm good at. The people are there is that
16:51
Speaker 29: they live for themselves, not knowing that you have the
16:55
Speaker 29: power within yourself to change millions of lives by face
17:00
Speaker 29: of life, by facing yourself.
17:03
Speaker 30: What if it's a mistake, it's a mistake, rest assured.
17:07
Speaker 3: What do you know?
17:08
Speaker 30: You're gonna stumble around, right, And what's gonna happen is this.
17:12
Speaker 30: You're gonna move, You're gonna not stay in stasis, You're
17:14
Speaker 30: not gonna wander around in circles. And I see people
17:17
Speaker 30: like that, They said, well, I never knew what to do,
17:19
Speaker 30: and now I'm forty. It's like, that's not so good.
17:23
Speaker 30: That's not so good, and you might say, well, And
17:26
Speaker 30: there is a literature too that suggests that people are
17:28
Speaker 30: a lot more unhappy when they look back in their
17:31
Speaker 30: lives about the things they didn't do than they are
17:35
Speaker 30: about the mistakes they made while they were doing things.
17:39
Speaker 20: We are training kids and people to be soft in
17:43
Speaker 20: a world that continuously gets harder, and it doesn't. It
17:49
Speaker 20: doesn't correlate like that guy talking about the tear gas
17:52
Speaker 20: with the seals. Is that necessary?
17:55
Speaker 12: I don't know.
17:56
Speaker 20: But what is necessary is you have to weild a
18:00
Speaker 20: person that can withstand the pressures of whatever they're going
18:05
Speaker 20: to be dealing with in life.
18:07
Speaker 2: And we don't do that.
18:09
Speaker 20: I'm not trying to send a message of run two
18:12
Speaker 20: hundred miles, be the best mother the world, but be tough.
18:18
Speaker 20: You better have a part about you that's tough, a
18:20
Speaker 20: part about you that can break down situations and get better.
18:23
Speaker 14: We actually have to re embrace risk on a personal
18:26
Speaker 14: level and on a societal level.
18:28
Speaker 2: We have to take the.
18:29
Speaker 14: Risk of freely exchanging ideas because that's where innovation happens.
18:32
Speaker 14: We have to take the risk of being able to
18:33
Speaker 14: invest and reap the benefits of that risk. In a
18:36
Speaker 14: personal relationship, getting married is a risk. It is foregoing
18:39
Speaker 14: a current benefits for a future gain. Every decision you
18:41
Speaker 14: make is a risk. The biggest risk of all, of course,
18:44
Speaker 14: is the decision to be free and to take responsibility
18:47
Speaker 14: for your own choices.
18:48
Speaker 18: That's a major risk.
18:49
Speaker 14: But if you take that risk, you become a better
18:51
Speaker 14: and a stronger human being, a more contributing human being,
18:53
Speaker 14: a more valuable human being. You feel better about yourself.
18:56
Speaker 14: When we discard risk, we discard meaning. When we are coddled,
18:59
Speaker 14: we discard our own ability to be a fully adult
19:01
Speaker 14: human being. And here's the dirty little secret. No matter
19:04
Speaker 14: how much we try to discard the risk, you can't
19:06
Speaker 14: actually discard risk. It's inevitable because reality entails risk. We
19:10
Speaker 14: can choose to live free rather than coddled. It will
19:13
Speaker 14: make us better people, more open people, more understanding people.
19:16
Speaker 14: And when we do that, I think that not only
19:18
Speaker 14: will we be saving the country and saving the civilization,
19:20
Speaker 14: we'll be saving ourselves.
19:22
Speaker 31: But no matter what challenges or setbacks or disappointments you
19:25
Speaker 31: may encounter along the way, you will find true success
19:29
Speaker 31: and happiness. If you have only one goal. There really
19:32
Speaker 31: is only one, and that is this to fulfill the highest,
19:38
Speaker 31: most truthful expression of yourself. Theologian Howard Thurman said it best.
19:45
Speaker 31: He said, don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask
19:50
Speaker 31: yourself what makes you come alive, and then go do that,
19:55
Speaker 31: because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
20:00
Speaker 20: There's no hacks, bro, it's you against you, you against you.
20:05
Speaker 2: And if you misunderstand that you've a real problem, you
20:10
Speaker 2: real problem.
20:11
Speaker 20: I can understand you misunderstand you run on a street
20:13
Speaker 20: short off, but this no, yeah, I can get it.
20:16
Speaker 2: I get it.
20:17
Speaker 20: If you misunderstand saying right now today, the problem is
20:21
Speaker 20: you and you.
20:23
Speaker 2: Don't want to fix it.
20:24
Speaker 7: Take charge of your life, Take charge of your time,
20:28
Speaker 7: take charge of your resources, or take charge of your health.
20:31
Speaker 7: You're the one that's responsible for it. It's not a
20:34
Speaker 7: requirement of society that you not have a heart attack
20:37
Speaker 7: and take care of your family. That's not a requirement
20:39
Speaker 7: of society, but you must make it a requirement of yourself.
20:43
Speaker 7: Society doesn't require that you build a financial wall around
20:46
Speaker 7: your family. Nothing can get through. That's not a requirement
20:50
Speaker 7: of society. It's a requirement you impose on yourself.
20:55
Speaker 2: Do things worth doing.
20:57
Speaker 3: And I think a lot of it is coming down
20:59
Speaker 3: to making sure that you take the few precious seconds
21:02
Speaker 3: that we have to do the few things that are
21:04
Speaker 3: worth doing for the rest of your life. They see
21:07
Speaker 3: it as a pure disadvantage, and so you can flip
21:10
Speaker 3: the fact that you have nothing going for you with
21:12
Speaker 3: you have nothing to lose, and that means that you
21:15
Speaker 3: can take lots of risks very quickly and end up
21:19
Speaker 3: in the exact same position you are, which is nothing.
21:22
Speaker 3: And so if you eliminate downside, it should decrease your
21:25
Speaker 3: action threshold, meaning you should be able to do more
21:28
Speaker 3: things faster rather than do fewer things because you don't
21:30
Speaker 3: have a great life or things going for you.
21:33
Speaker 2: And so I think if.
21:33
Speaker 3: People flip that a lot more people would take action
21:36
Speaker 3: because they actually realize the advantage of their position.
21:39
Speaker 2: Don't be scared to fail, and.
21:44
Speaker 22: Know wherever you are right now is not who you are,
21:47
Speaker 22: just where you are, you know, and if you fall
21:50
Speaker 22: man fall forward, he'll fall in your ass.
21:53
Speaker 25: You know, when they say it can't be done, you know,
21:57
Speaker 25: tell them you haven't tried yet. You know, can't be
22:01
Speaker 25: done by someone else. But I can't say that, do
22:04
Speaker 25: I haven't tried it, and then you go try it.
22:06
Speaker 5: Those who can do, those who can't, talk about those
22:09
Speaker 5: who can't.
22:10
Speaker 2: Come say it again.
22:11
Speaker 12: Those who can do, those who can't, talk about those
22:15
Speaker 12: who can't.
22:16
Speaker 2: Now, can you or can you not know?
22:19
Speaker 20: You just want to sit on the sideline to talk
22:20
Speaker 20: about other people?
22:21
Speaker 2: Or can you step up?
22:23
Speaker 12: How do you want to live?
22:24
Speaker 6: Stop just waking up like an accident.
22:26
Speaker 2: What do you want?
22:28
Speaker 6: And then once you find out what you want, spend
22:30
Speaker 6: the rest of your natural life waking up and going
22:34
Speaker 6: after it.
22:35
Speaker 3: I think most people feel really lonely when you want
22:38
Speaker 3: something that doesn't currently exist. And so some people call
22:41
Speaker 3: that dreams, some people call that goals. Whatever it is,
22:43
Speaker 3: you're trying to pull something from your mind into reality,
22:46
Speaker 3: and you want it done a certain way, and if
22:47
Speaker 3: it's not done that way, it's not what you imagined.
22:50
Speaker 2: And so people on the.
22:51
Speaker 3: Outside will throw stones and call you names that they
22:55
Speaker 3: think will change your behavior and get you to stop.
22:58
Speaker 3: And the more I have been the person trying to
23:00
Speaker 3: pull things into reality, the more I've tried to weather
23:04
Speaker 3: and build kind of defenses against those things so that
23:07
Speaker 3: when those stones get hurled at you, by being called
23:10
Speaker 3: a control freak or by saying you micro manage things
23:13
Speaker 3: or that you have incredibly high standards.
23:17
Speaker 2: The answer is yes, because.
23:18
Speaker 3: I want it done right the first time, because either
23:22
Speaker 3: way we're going to if you have enough will, it's
23:24
Speaker 3: going to get done the way that I want it
23:25
Speaker 3: to get done, regardless, and it will be less painful
23:28
Speaker 3: if we just do it right the first time, because
23:29
Speaker 3: we will still have to do it, and you may
23:30
Speaker 3: have to do it three or four more times, but
23:32
Speaker 3: eventually you'll just succumb to the fact that we're going
23:35
Speaker 3: to do it this way. And I think all of
23:37
Speaker 3: the great things that have happened for humanity have been
23:40
Speaker 3: from one man or woman who had an idea and
23:42
Speaker 3: just wouldn't let people shake it from them.
23:45
Speaker 24: In a world that's changing so quickly, the biggest risk
23:50
Speaker 24: you can take is not taking any risk. And I
23:55
Speaker 24: really think that that's true, right. I mean a lot
23:57
Speaker 24: of people, I think think that. You know, whenever it
23:59
Speaker 24: comes to whenever you get yourself into a position where
24:02
Speaker 24: you have to make some big shift and direction or
24:05
Speaker 24: do something, you know, there are always people are going
24:08
Speaker 24: to point to the downside risks of that decision and locally,
24:13
Speaker 24: they're may be right, right. I mean, for any given
24:16
Speaker 24: decision that you're gonna make, there's upside and downside, but
24:19
Speaker 24: an aggregate. If you are stagnant and you don't make
24:23
Speaker 24: those changes, then then I think you're countee to fail.
24:26
Speaker 20: So many people do this.
24:28
Speaker 2: They're talking to you.
24:31
Speaker 20: On who they want to be, They're lying to you,
24:35
Speaker 20: and they walk away after so many times, walk away
24:38
Speaker 20: like God, man, why could tell the truth? Why the
24:41
Speaker 20: hell can I just tell him the truth?
24:45
Speaker 2: No good it feels for me. Now look at you
24:46
Speaker 2: in your eye, a.
24:48
Speaker 20: Man, I see because women won't get this. Women will
24:52
Speaker 20: not get this. Man a man, that man. You're looking
24:56
Speaker 20: at a man eye and you know that everything you're
24:59
Speaker 20: saying is real and it comes from a real working place,
25:03
Speaker 20: something that you earned.
25:05
Speaker 2: It's the best feeling in the world. You can say
25:07
Speaker 2: that actually happened.
25:08
Speaker 23: Yes, I know with certainty what I'm saying actually actually happened.
25:12
Speaker 20: Who I am and who I say I am? I
25:14
Speaker 20: am no more lies, no more skirt in the truth,
25:18
Speaker 20: no more busted. And that is worth every dime I've
25:22
Speaker 20: ever made in my life.
25:23
Speaker 26: Because if you live in the future, you're anxious.
25:27
Speaker 2: If you live in the past, you're depressed. If you
25:30
Speaker 2: live in the now, you're happy.
25:33
Speaker 24: That's how you do it, guys.
25:35
Speaker 2: You admit to.
25:36
Speaker 22: Something, you tell one about it, and no matter what
25:39
Speaker 22: they hank and cheer for you, they get behind you.
25:42
Speaker 22: Instead of being one of those the subjective nature loses
25:45
Speaker 22: in life that picks you down because you're doing better
25:48
Speaker 22: than them and you're reminding them.
25:49
Speaker 2: Of their failures.
25:52
Speaker 22: And year it starts her mind rate.
25:55
Speaker 7: The body will follow.
25:57
Speaker 26: Tell the world in a gold and she will go.
26:01
Speaker 26: And then day by day by day you start to
26:04
Speaker 26: do that goal to make it the reality. Guys, it's
26:08
Speaker 26: not guesswork. It's a science of intensity. You don't have
26:13
Speaker 26: the attendity.
26:16
Speaker 32: Don't mean when I was like seventeen years old and
26:19
Speaker 32: I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life,
26:21
Speaker 32: as you guys know, I created I created my Twitch
26:25
Speaker 32: account in twenty nineteen.
26:28
Speaker 2: I had one viewer for an entire year. That one
26:32
Speaker 2: viewer was my dad.
26:36
Speaker 33: Imagine when you're older and your grandkids say to you,
26:38
Speaker 33: grand Dad, tell me about what it was like when
26:40
Speaker 33: you were young, and you say, I didn't really do
26:43
Speaker 33: much to be honest, because I was worried about what
26:45
Speaker 33: other people would think of me. I never took my
26:47
Speaker 33: shirt off because I hate the way I looked. I
26:49
Speaker 33: didn't start that business because I was scared it might fail.
26:51
Speaker 33: Just think about how silly that would sound. You only
26:54
Speaker 33: get one go around at this thing. Blink can You'll
26:56
Speaker 33: miss it, crack of the whip, and then you're gone,
26:59
Speaker 33: So make it worth it.
27:01
Speaker 12: Your story may not have such a happy beginning, but
27:06
Speaker 12: that doesn't make you who you are.
27:09
Speaker 11: It is the rest of your story who you choose
27:13
Speaker 11: to be.
27:17
Speaker 34: And you won't necessarily succeed at everything the first time
27:21
Speaker 34: you try.
27:22
Speaker 2: That's okay.
27:25
Speaker 34: Some of the most successful people in the world are
27:27
Speaker 34: the ones who've had the most failures. Jk Rawlings, who
27:34
Speaker 34: wrote Harry Potter. Her first Harry Potter book, was rejected
27:38
Speaker 34: twelve times before it was finally published.
27:43
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan was cut from.
27:44
Speaker 34: His high school basketball team. He lost hundreds of games
27:49
Speaker 34: and misses thousands of shots during his career, but he
27:52
Speaker 34: once said, I have failed over and over and over
27:55
Speaker 34: again in my life, and that's why I succeed. These
28:01
Speaker 34: people succeeded because they understood that you can't let your
28:05
Speaker 34: failures define you. You have to let your failures teach you.
28:10
Speaker 34: You have to let them show you what to do
28:12
Speaker 34: differently the next time.
28:14
Speaker 35: An easy productivity hack. Instead of spending time getting in
28:18
Speaker 35: the mood to work, just stop working confront the work.
28:22
Speaker 35: People think they need perfect conditions to start, when in reality,
28:26
Speaker 35: starting is the perfect condition.
28:29
Speaker 11: You know, somebody called me yesterday and asked me a
28:31
Speaker 11: very simple question. You said, Pat, you know, what do
28:35
Speaker 11: I do when I just don't feel like showing up
28:37
Speaker 11: to work today?
28:37
Speaker 2: What do I do?
28:39
Speaker 11: And I said, look, we've heard this saying before. You know,
28:43
Speaker 11: you got to show up whether you feel like.
28:44
Speaker 2: It or not. But I don't think that's enough. I
28:46
Speaker 2: don't think that's what the great ones do.
28:47
Speaker 11: I think it's even past that you got to raise
28:49
Speaker 11: your standards to hold different level.
28:51
Speaker 2: And I'll say what I think it is.
28:53
Speaker 11: You not only have to show up, you have to
28:56
Speaker 11: show up when you don't feel like it, and you
28:58
Speaker 11: have to want to perform and psych yourself out to
29:01
Speaker 11: be in the zone and be confident and excited in
29:04
Speaker 11: the mood, and figure out a way to psych yourself out,
29:08
Speaker 11: fool yourself into being positive, fool yourself into becoming such
29:12
Speaker 11: a high vibration type of an energy where all of
29:15
Speaker 11: a sudden you're starting to perform and then you start
29:17
Speaker 11: believing you're excited, then you completely forgot you were not
29:20
Speaker 11: in the mood. And entrepreneurs who do that are the
29:22
Speaker 11: ones who eventually win their own championships of business. They
29:27
Speaker 11: win their own academies, Oscars World Series, super Bowl, whatever
29:31
Speaker 11: you want to call it. But you not only have
29:32
Speaker 11: to show up, you got to show up at the
29:34
Speaker 11: highest possible level and gain value as well as bring
29:38
Speaker 11: value to everybody around you. Show up today and show
29:43
Speaker 11: up with the most incredible energy
