  Speaker 1: The day you stop evaluating yourself, the day you stop growing,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: the day you stop getting better, is the day you die.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Is the day the person who's trying to catch you
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: will get you life.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: And winning is a bunch of sprints within a marathon,
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: a bunch of sprints within a marathon, and you can't
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: see the end line. Like in a marathon, you know
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: where the end line is, and winning that win. That
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: race may have an end line, but there's another start
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: line right after. People that are really driven. And this
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: is not about money, and this isn't about fame. This
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: is about you can be winning as a school teacher,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: you can be winning as an entrepreneur, you can be
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: winning in business, you can be winning as an athlete.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: It's that every single time you spread to that finish line,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: there's another start line that's coming. It's why it never ends.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: It's a marathon that just keeps going, going, and going.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: We all think about quitting. It's hard. It's hard to
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: process information during pain because that pain takes over and
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: you can't think rationally.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: You're thinking about fight or flight, save yourself.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: That's not a rational thought. It's not a thought that's
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: gonna get you through hard times. Most people feel that
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: one second. In that one second, I start thinking logically,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: I calm my brain down, because your brain wants.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: To get suck out.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: It's about gaining control of your mind, putting things back
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: in the proper perspective, and then saying, I really do
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: want to be here, and I'm going to have a
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: bunch of these one seconds, and I have to learn
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: to control these.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: Because if I fail one of these one seconds, I
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: will not be a seal, I will not be a doctor,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: I will not be a lawyer, I will not be
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: whatever the fuck it is. It's all about your mind
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: tastes control of you. You have to say you I
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: run this mother.
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: To be the best.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Do you know what that means?
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: To be the best?
• 2:04
  Speaker 7: Do you have to continue work on your craft. You
• 2:07
  Speaker 7: have to constantly work on your craft. You can't just
• 2:11
  Speaker 7: stay complacent. You can't be comfortable.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: You got to get.
• 2:16
  Speaker 7: Uncomfortable and you got to go after it. Going after
• 2:21
  Speaker 7: it every single day of your life is so important.
• 2:25
  Speaker 8: Right now.
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: Setting yourself back because you're afraid because you don't understand.
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: There's a lot of things that none of us understand.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: But that doesn't mean you stop. Sometimes you got to
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: learn as you go. You got to make the sacrifices
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: every single.
• 2:45
  Speaker 9: Day of your life.
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: Stop depending on other people, Stop depending on your excuses,
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: Stop setting yourself back instead of setting yourself up and
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: love wing up.
• 3:00
  Speaker 7: Get to where you've got to go in your life.
• 3:02
  Speaker 10: So I'm here to tell you that it will take longer,
• 3:05
  Speaker 10: it will be more difficult, it will require more effort
• 3:07
  Speaker 10: on your part. But you know what I can tell
• 3:09
  Speaker 10: you about that when you do the hard things, you
• 3:13
  Speaker 10: will have a happy and easy life. But if you
• 3:19
  Speaker 10: constantly choose to take the path of easy and negotiate
• 3:22
  Speaker 10: and compromise, you will have a hard life, a hard
• 3:27
  Speaker 10: life that ends with regret.
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: I don't think that it's optional for us to sit
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: on what we have. See if you're sitting on what
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: you have, what you've been given. I think everybody's been
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: given something to bring to the planet that only you
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: can do, that only you can perform that only you
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: can initiate that activity. And if you don't do that,
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: if you're not filling in your life with your life,
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: work or your mission, then there are gaps in your
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: life and what we do when we're not living out
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: our true identity we begin to fill the gaps.
• 4:08
  Speaker 9: We fill the holes with garbage.
• 4:11
  Speaker 11: That's the fear. The fear is never reaching your potential.
• 4:15
  Speaker 11: It always fallen short, always quitting before you're done, always procrastinating,
• 4:20
  Speaker 11: always not doing the right thing. And then one day
• 4:23
  Speaker 11: you're an old man and you look back and go, God,
• 4:26
  Speaker 11: I could have been great.
• 4:28
  Speaker 12: So I say, take ownership. Take extreme ownership. Don't make excuses,
• 4:38
  Speaker 12: don't blame any other person or any other fear. Get
• 4:44
  Speaker 12: control of your ego. Don't hide your delicate pride from
• 4:53
  Speaker 12: the truth. Take ownership of everything in your world, good
• 5:00
  Speaker 12: and the bad. Take ownership of your mistakes, Take ownership
• 5:07
  Speaker 12: of your short falls. Take ownership of your problems, and
• 5:11
  Speaker 12: then take ownership of the solutions that will get those
• 5:14
  Speaker 12: problems solved.
• 5:19
  Speaker 8: People don't burn out. People don't quit, people don't under achieve.
• 5:22
  Speaker 8: People don't settle because of what they do. People burn out,
• 5:25
  Speaker 8: people quit, people are under achieved, and people settle because
• 5:28
  Speaker 8: life makes them forget why they do it. If we
• 5:31
  Speaker 8: respect it the way we say we respect it, if
• 5:34
  Speaker 8: we love it the way we say we love it,
• 5:36
  Speaker 8: if we cherish it the way we say we cherish it,
• 5:39
  Speaker 8: every single.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Day should be nothing less than excellent.
• 5:43
  Speaker 8: You might not always be your best, but you can
• 5:46
  Speaker 8: always bring me your best.
• 5:47
  Speaker 13: If you could be in control of your decisions and
• 5:50
  Speaker 13: your actions one hundred percent of the time, what could
• 5:54
  Speaker 13: you not accomplish and how could you be held back
• 5:58
  Speaker 13: successive winnings. It's not to be Success in winning is
• 6:02
  Speaker 13: not comfortable. Success in winning and in life is going
• 6:05
  Speaker 13: to be a daily looking cast for you.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Always keep going.
• 6:14
  Speaker 8: And always stay focused, because.
• 6:19
  Speaker 12: That's that's the mentality that you have to have, is
• 6:22
  Speaker 12: that it's never finished.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: It is never finished.
• 6:31
  Speaker 9: Your life won't change unless you change. You were put
• 6:35
  Speaker 9: on this earth to do great things. I strongly believe
• 6:38
  Speaker 9: that all of us were put here to uplift ourselves
• 6:40
  Speaker 9: and others and experience joy every single day of our lives.
• 6:45
  Speaker 9: I think many of us have gotten distracted by the
• 6:48
  Speaker 9: many perceived problems of the world, and in doing so,
• 6:52
  Speaker 9: we have taken our focus away from the positive possibilities.
• 6:56
  Speaker 9: We can't discover solutions by focusing on problems, and so
• 7:01
  Speaker 9: it comes down to one thing. We must choose to
• 7:04
  Speaker 9: direct our energy towards positive outcomes. It's the only way
• 7:10
  Speaker 9: to create positive results. As you gain new experiences and
• 7:15
  Speaker 9: continue to focus on improving yourself, you will slowly evolve
• 7:19
  Speaker 9: into a greater version of yourself. However, this process never stops.
• 7:24
  Speaker 9: There is no end to your growth. It is important
• 7:27
  Speaker 9: to avoid viewing your efforts as a means to an end,
• 7:31
  Speaker 9: because that will make it very difficult for you to
• 7:34
  Speaker 9: enjoy the process called life. Having a destination in mind
• 7:37
  Speaker 9: is very important, but try to see that destination as
• 7:41
  Speaker 9: a stepping stone rather than a final destination. The good
• 7:46
  Speaker 9: news is that life does get easier as long as
• 7:48
  Speaker 9: you continually force yourself to improve. There will come a
• 7:51
  Speaker 9: time when it will seem as if your efforts have
• 7:54
  Speaker 9: culminated to a final resting place that I like to
• 7:58
  Speaker 9: call self reliance, but it is actually just the place
• 8:02
  Speaker 9: where things become effortless and every moment becomes a joy.
• 8:07
  Speaker 9: This is a state that I have been referring to
• 8:09
  Speaker 9: as extreme confidence. It is not a cocky, arrogant way
• 8:13
  Speaker 9: of being, but rather a state of needing nothing. This
• 8:17
  Speaker 9: is what we all desire, whether we consciously know it
• 8:20
  Speaker 9: or not. Self reliance is something achieved by very few,
• 8:26
  Speaker 9: but it is the mark of true confidence. A self
• 8:29
  Speaker 9: reliant person does not feel the need to impress others
• 8:33
  Speaker 9: with his or her achievements or knowledge. A self reliant
• 8:38
  Speaker 9: person feels whole and complete and does things for no
• 8:43
  Speaker 9: other reason than wanting to do them self. Reliance could
• 8:48
  Speaker 9: be described as a lack of ego. This doesn't imply
• 8:51
  Speaker 9: that a self reliant person is completely enlightened, although they
• 8:56
  Speaker 9: might be, but rather goes to explain that they have
• 9:00
  Speaker 9: reached a point where they are at peace with themselves.
• 9:04
  Speaker 9: This is what most of us really want. When you
• 9:08
  Speaker 9: realize that each area of your life affects each and
• 9:11
  Speaker 9: every other area of your life, you will feel empowered
• 9:15
  Speaker 9: and motivated to take more action. Even the smallest improvement
• 9:20
  Speaker 9: in one area of your life will improve other areas
• 9:22
  Speaker 9: of your life that seem totally unrelated. For example, the
• 9:26
  Speaker 9: food you put in your body affects the chemistry of
• 9:29
  Speaker 9: your brain and makes you feel happier and more energetic.
• 9:33
  Speaker 9: An increase in mood and energy can potentially benefit your
• 9:36
  Speaker 9: social life because you will act more outgoing and enthusiastic.
• 9:40
  Speaker 9: People will want to be around you more because of
• 9:42
  Speaker 9: your positive energy, which could potentially lead to a career
• 9:46
  Speaker 9: opportunity of some sort, which in turn benefits your financial situation,
• 9:51
  Speaker 9: which in turn makes you even happier and more positive,
• 9:54
  Speaker 9: which leads you to make even better choices. One simple
• 9:58
  Speaker 9: decision can change your life forever. Ultimately, you are the
• 10:01
  Speaker 9: creator of your own reality. Decisions We make them every day,
• 10:06
  Speaker 9: and with every decision we make, good or bad, our
• 10:08
  Speaker 9: lives are defined just a little more Because decisions ultimately
• 10:12
  Speaker 9: shape our destiny. Knowing this, why do some of us
• 10:15
  Speaker 9: continue to make questionable decisions? It might seem like the
• 10:19
  Speaker 9: proverbial angel and devil on each shoulder, who want to
• 10:23
  Speaker 9: sway you in one direction or the other. Every decision
• 10:27
  Speaker 9: we make is dependent on our values. We make decisions
• 10:32
  Speaker 9: that lean toward pleasure. We also make decisions that move
• 10:35
  Speaker 9: us away from things we've determined are not as pleasurable.
• 10:40
  Speaker 9: The need to avoid pain and seek pleasure drives everything
• 10:44
  Speaker 9: we do. People will do more to avoid pain than
• 10:47
  Speaker 9: they will do to gain pleasure. What lengths will we
• 10:50
  Speaker 9: go to? It all depends on our standards and our focus.
• 10:55
  Speaker 9: Better decision making begins with self awareness, the ability to
• 11:02
  Speaker 9: identify and express our emotions and thoughts. Learning what drives
• 11:07
  Speaker 9: our decisions is the first step toward total control of
• 11:09
  Speaker 9: our emotions and lives. There are three surprising factors that
• 11:15
  Speaker 9: drive all the decisions we make. What you focus on,
• 11:18
  Speaker 9: you feel, and it's what drives decision making like nothing
• 11:21
  Speaker 9: else can. Will you make decisions out of fear or
• 11:25
  Speaker 9: out of positivity, hope and love. Will you focus on
• 11:29
  Speaker 9: the past and let it define you or will you
• 11:31
  Speaker 9: let it go? Every moment of our lives, we're answering
• 11:35
  Speaker 9: three crucial questions. The first question is what are you
• 11:40
  Speaker 9: going to focus on? Do you focus on what you
• 11:42
  Speaker 9: can control or what you can't control? To engage in
• 11:47
  Speaker 9: better decision making, we must shift our focus to what
• 11:50
  Speaker 9: we can control. Do you focus more on things from
• 11:55
  Speaker 9: the past, present, or future to enjoy the moment and
• 11:59
  Speaker 9: build build an extraordinary future. You must balance between present
• 12:05
  Speaker 9: and future, but let go of the past. The second
• 12:10
  Speaker 9: question is what meaning will you give to this experience?
• 12:14
  Speaker 9: Is this the end or the beginning? Is this a
• 12:19
  Speaker 9: punishment or a gift? Meaning as everything and it defines
• 12:23
  Speaker 9: the third question, what am I going to do with
• 12:26
  Speaker 9: this experience? If you think you're being punished, you're going
• 12:31
  Speaker 9: to react in a different way than if you're seeing
• 12:34
  Speaker 9: it as a gift. You are the architect of your
• 12:37
  Speaker 9: life and the way you choose to experience that life
• 12:41
  Speaker 9: is what drives your decisions. Many people think that what
• 12:46
  Speaker 9: drives decision making is a matter of self control, but
• 12:52
  Speaker 9: studies have shown that self control is either hardwired or
• 12:57
  Speaker 9: it's not, and it can be depleted. Therefore, self control
• 13:03
  Speaker 9: is not as reliable as our standards. Higher standards lead
• 13:08
  Speaker 9: to better decision making. Raise your standards or make a
• 13:12
  Speaker 9: shift in your beliefs and values, and then you will
• 13:16
  Speaker 9: make the right choices. When you have a decision, whether
• 13:20
  Speaker 9: it's straightforward or complicated, you often know what the correct
• 13:23
  Speaker 9: choice is, but what option do you choose. The difference
• 13:26
  Speaker 9: between two people who make opposite decisions in any given
• 13:29
  Speaker 9: scenario is their own standards to write that report, grab
• 13:33
  Speaker 9: that cookie, or not. It's all dependent on how high
• 13:36
  Speaker 9: your standards are. Ultimately, what drives decision making is also
• 13:40
  Speaker 9: linked to the level of hunger you have. Achievers, those
• 13:44
  Speaker 9: people who are determined to succeed, have a hunger for success,
• 13:48
  Speaker 9: and as such will make better decisions because their standards
• 13:52
  Speaker 9: are so high. It's not self control, it's their high
• 13:56
  Speaker 9: standards that push them forward. Achievers use failure to to
• 14:00
  Speaker 9: push through instead of letting it push them down. Someone
• 14:03
  Speaker 9: on the other end of the spectrum might blame their
• 14:07
  Speaker 9: failures on lack of self control, but they don't have
• 14:10
  Speaker 9: the hunger or the high level of values to push through. However,
• 14:15
  Speaker 9: these values can be learned. Raising your standards, values, or
• 14:20
  Speaker 9: beliefs is not as hard as it may seem. Did
• 14:24
  Speaker 9: you ever think about where your values come from? They
• 14:27
  Speaker 9: come from other people. It's said that we take a
• 14:30
  Speaker 9: little piece of everyone we have in our lives. You
• 14:33
  Speaker 9: decided to keep the values and standards of various people
• 14:36
  Speaker 9: you like, unconsciously modeling them and rejecting the values you
• 14:42
  Speaker 9: didn't like. Decision shape destiny and right now. You may
• 14:47
  Speaker 9: have a set of standards that isn't working for you. You
• 14:50
  Speaker 9: can change them by consciously evaluating what drives your decisions,
• 14:55
  Speaker 9: keeping what works, and getting rid of what doesn't.
