  Speaker 1: What is it that's going to truly fulfill you? What
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: is it that's going to give you that extraordinary life?
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: What's going to make things magnificent on your terms, not
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: somebody else's terms, not your father, your mother, your background.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: What is that really?
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: What if you live your whole life only to discover
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: that it was wrong, that it was wrong, that you
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: were chosen to do something else.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: And you didn't do it.
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: It is not the things we do in life that
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: we regret on our deathbed. It is the things we
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: do now. Because I assure you I've done a lot
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: of really stupid things and none of them bother me.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: All the mistakes and all the dopey things, and all
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: the times I was embarrassed, they don't matter. Last August
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: I was told they're all likely. I had three to
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: six months left to live. Somebody said to me, in
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: light of those numbers, Wow, so you're really beating the
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: grim reaper. We don't beat the reaper by living longer.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: We beat the reaper by living well and living fully.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: For the reaper will come for all of us. The
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: question is what do we do between the time we're
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: born and the time he shows up? Because when he
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: shows up, it's too late to do all the things
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: that you're always going to kind of get around to.
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: As you are responsible for your life. And if you're
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: sitting around waiting on somebody to save.
• 1:59
  Speaker 6: You, fix you, to even help.
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: You, you are wasting your time because only you have
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: the power to take responsibility to move your life forward.
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: And the sooner you get that, the sooner your life
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: gets into gear.
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: What matters is now to this moment, and your willedness
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: to see this moment for what it is, accept it,
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: forgive the past, take responsibility, and move.
• 2:30
  Speaker 7: Forward, because in the end, none of us have very
• 2:35
  Speaker 7: long on this earth. If it is fleeting, and if
• 2:45
  Speaker 7: you ever distressed, cast your eyes to the summer sky,
• 2:54
  Speaker 7: when the stars are strung across the velvety night, and
• 2:58
  Speaker 7: when a shooting star streaks through the blackness turning night
• 3:03
  Speaker 7: in today, make a wish, think of me, Make your
• 3:15
  Speaker 7: life spectacular.
• 3:24
  Speaker 8: Here's the problem when you go through life. As you
• 3:27
  Speaker 8: go through life, what happens is, you know, your brain
• 3:30
  Speaker 8: starts to fill up with information, and that's what creates
• 3:32
  Speaker 8: a state of feeling overwhelmed.
• 3:34
  Speaker 9: You have to be able to like when you when
• 3:36
  Speaker 9: you first, when you start out at jiu jitsu. You're
• 3:37
  Speaker 9: a white belt, like I remember being a white out
• 3:40
  Speaker 9: and being like, oh my god, I am never going
• 3:42
  Speaker 9: to get good at this. I'm going to suck forever.
• 3:44
  Speaker 9: But to look at people who are better than you
• 3:48
  Speaker 9: and know they had to have sucked at one point
• 3:50
  Speaker 9: in time. Okay, there's got to be somewhere along the
• 3:53
  Speaker 9: end of this tunnel. There's got to be a light.
• 3:55
  Speaker 9: I just got to keep going.
• 3:57
  Speaker 10: Discipline.
• 3:57
  Speaker 11: The thing about self discipline is that it is necessary
• 4:01
  Speaker 11: for everything you do in your life. But see, what
• 4:04
  Speaker 11: is the choice that you walk a pass like everyone
• 4:09
  Speaker 11: else dressed in suits, go to work and come back
• 4:13
  Speaker 11: and never have a legacy, or you swim upstream like
• 4:18
  Speaker 11: a drought against norm and then whatever little you achieve
• 4:22
  Speaker 11: is only yours.
• 4:24
  Speaker 8: I just need you to start. And here's the other
• 4:25
  Speaker 8: cool thing. We know based on research that if we
• 4:29
  Speaker 8: can get you to start, eighty percent of you are
• 4:32
  Speaker 8: going to keep going.
• 4:34
  Speaker 12: Then the truth isn't in the twenty percent. The truth
• 4:37
  Speaker 12: is in this other part of your brain saying, look, man,
• 4:41
  Speaker 12: you're wasting a bust of percentage here.
• 4:43
  Speaker 9: They want to avoid discomfort. They feel like any kind
• 4:47
  Speaker 9: of exercise is just like something to be avoided. That's
• 4:51
  Speaker 9: not for me.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Fuck that.
• 4:52
  Speaker 9: I don't want to sweat, I don't want to strain.
• 4:54
  Speaker 9: And a lot of times this association that they have
• 4:57
  Speaker 9: is about the beginnings of getting in shape, about once
• 5:00
  Speaker 9: you're actually fit, because once you're actually fit, exercises something
• 5:03
  Speaker 9: you look forward to. It's an alleviation of stress. It
• 5:06
  Speaker 9: feels great, and.
• 5:08
  Speaker 10: I think that helps with mindset.
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: We got to risk everything.
• 5:13
  Speaker 13: Great artists dyln't the cosso they risk failure, and if
• 5:19
  Speaker 13: we want to be great, we got.
• 5:21
  Speaker 10: To risk it too.
• 5:22
  Speaker 11: I'm willing to sacrifice my sleep. I'm willing to sacrifice food.
• 5:26
  Speaker 11: I'm willing to sacrifice quality of life, if that's what
• 5:29
  Speaker 11: you want to call it, and to be able to achieve,
• 5:33
  Speaker 11: to be an achiever.
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: My lack of interest in complaining is so high, and
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: when I watch what people complain about, it breaks my
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: heart because they completely lack perspective.
• 5:45
  Speaker 12: Were now a tours at ninety seven pounds, now as
• 5:48
  Speaker 12: bad as hell trying to be a Navy seal.
• 5:50
  Speaker 10: The scariest thing in the.
• 5:51
  Speaker 12: World to me, even to this day, was that that
• 5:54
  Speaker 12: could have been the rest of my life.
• 5:56
  Speaker 14: So you have to trust that the dots will somehow
• 5:58
  Speaker 14: connect in your future. You have to trust in something,
• 6:02
  Speaker 14: your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever, because believing that the
• 6:06
  Speaker 14: dots will connect down the road will give you the
• 6:09
  Speaker 14: confidence to follow your heart even when it leads you
• 6:12
  Speaker 14: off the well worn path, and that will make all
• 6:15
  Speaker 14: the difference.
• 6:21
  Speaker 15: It's a luxury to pursue what makes you happy. It's
• 6:23
  Speaker 15: a moral obligation to pursue what you find meaningful. And
• 6:27
  Speaker 15: that doesn't mean it's easy. It might require sacrifice if
• 6:31
  Speaker 15: you need to change your job too. Let's say you
• 6:33
  Speaker 15: have a family and children and a mortgage. You have responsibilities.
• 6:38
  Speaker 15: You've already picked up those responsibilities. You don't just get
• 6:41
  Speaker 15: to walk away scott free say well I don't like
• 6:44
  Speaker 15: my job.
• 6:44
  Speaker 10: I quit.
• 6:45
  Speaker 15: That's no strategy. But what you might have to do
• 6:48
  Speaker 15: is you think, well, this job is killing my soul,
• 6:50
  Speaker 15: all right, So what do I have to do about that? Well,
• 6:52
  Speaker 15: I have to look for another job. Well, no one
• 6:54
  Speaker 15: wants to hire me. It's like, okay, Maybe you need
• 6:58
  Speaker 15: to educate yourself more. Maybe you need to date your curriculum,
• 7:01
  Speaker 15: vita your resume. Maybe you need to overcome your fear
• 7:04
  Speaker 15: of being interviewed. Maybe you need to sharpen your social skills.
• 7:09
  Speaker 15: You have to think about these things strategically. If you're
• 7:12
  Speaker 15: going to switch careers, you have to do it like
• 7:14
  Speaker 15: an intelligent, responsible person. That might take you a couple
• 7:17
  Speaker 15: of years of effort to do properly. I've dealt with
• 7:21
  Speaker 15: hundreds of people in my clinical and consulting practice, and
• 7:24
  Speaker 15: we set a goal, we develop a vision and work
• 7:27
  Speaker 15: towards it, and things inevitably get better for people. So
• 7:33
  Speaker 15: it's not a luxury. It's difficult. It's a moral responsibility,
• 7:36
  Speaker 15: and it isn't happiness. It's not the pursuit isn't for happiness.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: It's a modal responsibility to push you what is meaning?
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, Charles, I love what I do as a leader
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: and a journalist at Xios. My dream would be to
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: do what I do at sixty five, seventy five, let
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: alone eighty five.
• 7:55
  Speaker 10: How do you do that? How did you make that possible?
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 7:58
  Speaker 10: What is your regiment?
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Well?
• 8:01
  Speaker 10: The first things.
• 8:03
  Speaker 13: As one of my another one beside for records of
• 8:06
  Speaker 13: my heroes. Victor frankel Uh put it, ever, more people
• 8:11
  Speaker 13: have the means to live, but more meaningful live For
• 8:15
  Speaker 13: the way you do it is have meaning in your life.
• 8:17
  Speaker 13: And the way you have meaning in your life is
• 8:20
  Speaker 13: you discover your gift you and you follow uh Maslow.
• 8:26
  Speaker 13: What you can be, you must be, and whatever your
• 8:29
  Speaker 13: nature calls you to be, you dedicate yourself to that.
• 8:33
  Speaker 13: So I've dedicated my myself to that, to learning every day,
• 8:39
  Speaker 13: trying to find new principles, every day, searching for every
• 8:42
  Speaker 13: how to better apply the principles we we are applying
• 8:46
  Speaker 13: and every day try to prove. So I wake up

  Speaker 13: contribute today.
• 9:08
  Speaker 10: And then I work out every day.
• 9:10
