Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: You're doing the world a disservice by leaving your gift
- 0:04Speaker 1: wrapped up. Somebody needs your story. My mom told me this,
- 0:08Speaker 1: and I never forget it's that trend. You're signed to
- 0:11Speaker 1: reach people. I don't know how many, but you're as
- 0:13Speaker 1: signed to reach people that nobody else can reach but you,
- 0:16Speaker 1: she said. Everybody has that. And the more you leave
- 0:19Speaker 1: your gift wrapped those people that need your message, that
- 0:23Speaker 1: need your encouragement, whatever it is that needs your talent,
- 0:26Speaker 1: they're never gonna get it.
- 0:28Speaker 2: The moment you tell your show look, you can't do something,
- 0:32Speaker 2: that's the moment when you won't do it.
- 0:37Speaker 3: That's what drives me. It's the things people told me
- 0:39Speaker 3: I couldn't become. It's the negative circumstances that I come from.
- 0:42Speaker 3: I don't let that limit me limit me at all.
- 0:44Speaker 3: That's my catalyst because I look at it like, Okay,
- 0:46Speaker 3: why not me, I've already overcome this. Why can't I
- 0:49Speaker 3: go and start a company? Why can't I build something
- 0:50Speaker 3: that's meaningful? Why can't I create this new paradigm shift
- 0:53Speaker 3: in the way we look at the world as big
- 0:55Speaker 3: giant superhero training facility. Because if I looked at it,
- 0:58Speaker 3: the other way it started to take, you know, the
- 1:01Speaker 3: count of Okay, well, I can't through this because of
- 1:02Speaker 3: where I come from. I can't through this because of
- 1:04Speaker 3: how I look. I can't through this. I wouldn't start anything.
- 1:07Speaker 3: Everybody will wake up each day doing subtraction. I look
- 1:10Speaker 3: at my life as addition, you know, I wake up
- 1:12Speaker 3: and say, what can I do today to add to
- 1:14Speaker 3: my skill set? What can I do today to add
- 1:15Speaker 3: to someone else's joy? What can I do today to
- 1:17Speaker 3: serve someone else? So when you keep a mindset of
- 1:19Speaker 3: service your problems and that darkness becomes smaller because you're
- 1:22Speaker 3: not going to focus on your own insecurities, your own problems.
- 1:25Speaker 3: You're going to figure out a way to amplify someone
- 1:27Speaker 3: else's experience. So I go through life looking, you know,
- 1:30Speaker 3: looking at people as an opportunity for me to serve,
- 1:33Speaker 3: because while I'm waiting on my blessing, I can be
- 1:34Speaker 3: a blessing. And that's how I kind of balance that.
- 1:36Speaker 3: When you focus solely on your darkness, everything becomes about you.
- 1:40Speaker 3: You become selfish, and you could be driven to a
- 1:42Speaker 3: point where it becomes toxic. And that's why you see
- 1:44Speaker 3: some people implode once they get to where they're going
- 1:46Speaker 3: because they look up and no one around them really
- 1:48Speaker 3: wants them there. For me, I have this mentality that
- 1:54Speaker 3: if everyone around me is fed, then no one is starving.
- 1:56Speaker 3: Then I don't have to worry about people being villainous
- 2:00Speaker 3: or hungry and try to take from me. So the
- 2:02Speaker 3: way I feed is through time, through joyfulness, through good energy.
- 2:06Speaker 3: Because sometimes all you need to do is tell a
- 2:08Speaker 3: person that they matter and show up. That's the greatest
- 2:11Speaker 3: gift this to acknowledge people in the world that's so
- 2:13Speaker 3: busy and so hurried, to slow down and be present
- 2:16Speaker 3: and to acknowledge a person's existence is to me, how
- 2:19Speaker 3: you balance out the darkness with the light when you're driven.
- 2:24Speaker 4: So we read a bunch of books nowadays as humans.
- 2:27Speaker 4: We want to find out how to be someone else.
- 2:32Speaker 4: What we don't do is we don't go inside. So
- 2:35Speaker 4: literally turn yourself inside out. Read the book. That's like
- 2:38Speaker 4: we're writing a book every day of our lives, but
- 2:41Speaker 4: we never read that book. So what I would challenge
- 2:43Speaker 4: this young man or young woman to do is you
- 2:46Speaker 4: have to look inside of yourself to see what you
- 2:48Speaker 4: really want. What are you passionate about. We use these
- 2:51Speaker 4: words and these little phrases of only this strong survive
- 2:54Speaker 4: and also the crap, they're all just freaking words. I
- 2:58Speaker 4: get so tired of hearing people just talking, like right now,
- 3:01Speaker 4: someone may think God is just talking.
- 3:04Speaker 2: You don't know me.
- 3:05Speaker 4: So when I speak, I speak from passion, I speak
- 3:07Speaker 4: from experience, I speak from suffering. I have to tell
- 3:10Speaker 4: this young man or woman that the only way I
- 3:13Speaker 4: believe this is this my experience in life.
- 3:16Speaker 5: The only way you're ever going.
- 3:18Speaker 4: To get to the other side of this journey is
- 3:21Speaker 4: you have got to suffer to grow.
- 3:25Speaker 2: To grow, you must suffer.
- 3:26Speaker 4: And some people will get it and some people won't,
- 3:30Speaker 4: but they have to see what their journey is to
- 3:32Speaker 4: start their journey. Several people live to be one hundred
- 3:34Speaker 4: years old, and they have great lives, and they have
- 3:36Speaker 4: great kids, the kids go to college and all sort
- 3:38Speaker 4: of stuff. But somewhere in their life there was a
- 3:42Speaker 4: point where they had the decision to make they can
- 3:45Speaker 4: go left or right on this path. Left was the
- 3:48Speaker 4: easy route, right was a hard route. A lot of
- 3:51Speaker 4: people take the easy route and they had a good
- 3:54Speaker 4: life that way, but the better life was going to
- 3:56Speaker 4: the right side. And you may have twenty years of
- 3:59Speaker 4: pain and suffering to get past it. But a lot
- 4:02Speaker 4: of us die never truly starting our journey. And I
- 4:06Speaker 4: would tell this young person, you gotta start your journey.
- 4:08Speaker 4: It may suck, but it will it will come out
- 4:12Speaker 4: of your side.
- 4:15Speaker 2: People look at success in many different ways. You know,
- 4:21Speaker 2: success is to be healthy, Success is to be a
- 4:27Speaker 2: good father, have a good family. You know, it can
- 4:34Speaker 2: be in many different ways.
- 4:39Speaker 5: Life is not about getting to the top of the mountain.
- 4:43Speaker 5: Life isn't the start of a new life, a new day,
- 4:46Speaker 5: new month, a new year, a new decade. These are
- 4:52Speaker 5: all moments when life stops. Life happens when you get
- 4:57Speaker 5: out of bed. Life is brushing your teeth, washing your body,
- 5:02Speaker 5: walking out of the door. Each day, life is the
- 5:06Speaker 5: journey of every day. Every day is life where time
- 5:11Speaker 5: is present. Life is living each and every day and
- 5:19Speaker 5: embracing the moment. Life is taking time, having time, owning time.
- 5:27Speaker 5: Life is enjoying time. Life is all the little moments
- 5:32Speaker 5: that join the dots that make you hole and when
- 5:36Speaker 5: those moments connect, life happens.
- 5:43Speaker 6: You know, if I ever feel like in any moment,
- 5:45Speaker 6: life is not going the way that I think it
- 5:47Speaker 6: should be going, it's because I'm resisting what is? You know,
- 5:51Speaker 6: if someone didn't turn in their work on time, and
- 5:54Speaker 6: I'm just like, you know, getting that way, or something
- 5:56Speaker 6: didn't come out right, or the delivery doesn't come or
- 5:59Speaker 6: the technology breaks again, we can listen anything in that slot, right,
- 6:02Speaker 6: it's me arguing with reality. I'm making myself miserable in
- 6:06Speaker 6: that moment because I'm choosing to argue with what is.
- 6:09Speaker 6: That's always a losing proposition. So the more awareness I
- 6:13Speaker 6: can bring to that and go like, is this really
- 6:15Speaker 6: how you want to live your life in this moment? Mary,
- 6:17Speaker 6: Because every single moment, as you know, sets you up
- 6:19Speaker 6: for the next moment. And you string these moments together
- 6:22Speaker 6: and guess what, you have your life until we get
- 6:24Speaker 6: to that incredible deathbed. You never know when that's coming.
- 6:28Speaker 6: So every single moment is an opportunity for us to
- 6:31Speaker 6: check ourselves before we wreck ourselves. And so I just
- 6:34Speaker 6: try and play the game. If I'm miserable, if I'm upset,
- 6:37Speaker 6: if I'm angry, if I'm cranky, it is my responsibility
- 6:41Speaker 6: because it's based on what I'm thinking or believing in
- 6:44Speaker 6: that moment. It's not the outside world causing me to
- 6:48Speaker 6: feel this. It's what I'm doing up here that's making
- 6:51Speaker 6: me have that reaction. And if I'm the problem, I
- 6:54Speaker 6: am also the solution.
- 6:58Speaker 1: I'm real with myself and I'm honest. It's like we're humans,
- 7:00Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Everybody isn't on all the time.
- 7:03Speaker 1: You know, we all have our struggles, our solent battles
- 7:05Speaker 1: as I like to call them. And instead of ignoring
- 7:07Speaker 1: those solemn battles, I let them out. But yes, I
- 7:09Speaker 1: am a person that will tell you, make the world
- 7:12Speaker 1: respect your greatness. I'm very firm on that. I'm a
- 7:14Speaker 1: person that believes in myself. I'm a person that wants
- 7:16Speaker 1: you because I believe that's contagious. Be transparent, like in
- 7:19Speaker 1: a real way, because that creates connection. Now, it's like
- 7:23Speaker 1: I can relate to that person you know growing up
- 7:25Speaker 1: in the church. I'm gonna be real with you, Tom,
- 7:27Speaker 1: Like I would watch pastors and preachers and I would
- 7:29Speaker 1: be like I could never be them because it was
- 7:34Speaker 1: always perfection. I was like I could never beat them,
- 7:36Speaker 1: So I just chose a different lifestyle. But now when
- 7:39Speaker 1: I see people like say, you know what, I struggle
- 7:41Speaker 1: with this, I struggle with addiction. Doesn't mean you're not awesome.
- 7:45Speaker 1: Because you have addictions. Everybody has addictions, everybody has battles.
- 7:48Speaker 1: Some people just hide. There is better, So I relate
- 7:51Speaker 1: more to that because now it becomes attainable. Now you
- 7:54Speaker 1: become relatable to me, and I can be like wow,
- 7:56Speaker 1: like I can still grow through this. It's nothing wrong
- 7:59Speaker 1: with me. I'm gonna have my insecurities, my flaws, and
- 8:03Speaker 1: I can actually grow from it. So I think we
- 8:05Speaker 1: need more examples of the world of that, and that's
- 8:07Speaker 1: what I just try to give people as much as
- 8:08Speaker 1: I can.
- 8:12Speaker 2: This is gonna be my life, this is I'm gonna
- 8:17Speaker 2: be obsessed, completely obsessed with everything that concerns getting better.
- 8:29Speaker 2: Like there's nothing that you know if like, if someone
- 8:33Speaker 2: invites me to a party or a drink out late
- 8:38Speaker 2: in the next sixteen weeks, do you think you're gonna
- 8:41Speaker 2: go out?
- 8:43Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know.
- 8:45Speaker 2: I'm the one that has to do the work. I'm
- 8:47Speaker 2: the one that has to eat the food. I'm the
- 8:49Speaker 2: one that has to like do all these things. Like, yeah,
- 8:54Speaker 2: you can have the best cuts in the world, but
- 8:57Speaker 2: that may just make doesn't make you a champion. You
- 9:01Speaker 2: have to work for you, Shaul.
- 9:05Speaker 7: This is your opportunity to be better to constantly look
- 9:10Speaker 7: for something more, always looking to be dynamic in your decision,
- 9:14Speaker 7: constantly looking up, looking beyond what's right in front of
- 9:19Speaker 7: you at this very minute. Tomorrow is your opportunity to change.
- 9:27Speaker 1: People out there that are going through fear. For moments.
- 9:29Speaker 1: It's kind of like this. You will never step into
- 9:32Speaker 1: the ring if you're already telling yourself that you're gonna
- 9:35Speaker 1: lose before the fight. You'll never do that, like why
- 9:37Speaker 1: would you, right, So tell yourself you're gonna win even
- 9:40Speaker 1: if you get knocked down. Guess what, You're never knocked
- 9:43Speaker 1: out in life until you actually tap out to your
- 9:45Speaker 1: last day. So figure out that leverage point with your fear,
- 9:49Speaker 1: what's going to help you walk through the door. And
- 9:52Speaker 1: then you have to just give it.
- 9:53Speaker 2: To the world.
- 9:54Speaker 1: I never knew speaking was my gift until I actually
- 9:58Speaker 1: went out there and failed, actually went out there and
- 10:00Speaker 1: embarrass myself, and I realized, like, wow, this is what
- 10:04Speaker 1: I was created to do. And I knew that because
- 10:07Speaker 1: I like to put it like this, and I hope
- 10:09Speaker 1: they get it that's watching this. But I've never had
- 10:11Speaker 1: so much like peace in the midst of like fear,
- 10:14Speaker 1: never had so much confidence in the midst of like
- 10:17Speaker 1: my weakness.
- 10:17Speaker 2: In that moment, you have direction.
- 10:23Speaker 7: You write the news, step up to your authority and
- 10:27Speaker 7: take it.
- 10:28Speaker 5: Take the opportunity
