  Well, hey guys, good evening.

  Morley here, serial entrepreneur.

  Great to be with you on another fine
• 0:32

  Thanks so much for popping in.

• 0:41
  want to say thank you.
• 0:42
  If you've been here one time before, many
• 0:44

• 0:47
  you, but I do want to say welcome
• 0:48

  I have one here and it's got fresh

  That's the greatest thing for you.
• 1:05
  All right.
• 1:05
  All right, guys, don't forget to check out
• 1:08
  BelieveMeAchieved.com.
• 1:10
  By the way, if you have not heard
• 1:12
  Drain to Driven, yes, released last week, and
• 1:18
  I'm very excited about that.
• 1:20
  Helping people overcome burnout is more than just
• 1:24
  a personal story.
• 1:26
  It's something we need to be able to
• 1:28
  live our lives and really enjoy them.
• 1:30
  Otherwise, the moment just sort of passes away.
• 1:34
  All right, guys, without any further ado, I'd
• 1:37
  like to go ahead and kick this show
• 1:39
  off.
• 1:39
  This is Inspirations for Your Life.
• 1:42
  And when direction changes because truth gets revealed,
• 1:47
  series five, show 18, episode number one, that,
• 1:53
  ladies and gentlemen, is our, yes, that is
• 1:56
  a very, very important, you guessed it, guys.
• 2:00
  Yes, you know what it is.
• 2:01
  That is our, that is our granular topic.
• 2:07
  Actually, the master topic for the week is
• 2:11
  that.
• 2:12
  And the granular topic is when you realize
• 2:14
  you were limiting your own growth, series five,
• 2:18
  show 18, episode number one.
• 2:20
  I was getting a little tongue tied there,
• 2:21
  but that's okay.
• 2:23
  Again, it's so great to be with everyone
• 2:25
  here.
• 2:25
  And so Saturday means we're starting a brand
• 2:28
  new master topic.
• 2:29
  This episode of Inspirations for Your Life with
• 2:33
  myself, John C.
• 2:34
  Morley, serial entrepreneur, engineer, marketing specialist, video producer,
• 2:38
  podcast host, coach, keynote speaker, graduate student, passionate
• 2:43
  lifelong learner.
• 2:44
  And now, guys, very proud to be a
• 2:47
  published author, is exploring how transformation begins the
• 2:52
  moment truth breaks through assumptions.
• 2:54
  Now, ladies and gentlemen, this is not about
• 2:57
  motivation itself.
• 2:59
  This is about a realization because real change
• 3:03
  starts when awareness replaces assumption.
• 3:06
  And what felt stable is suddenly questioned.
• 3:10
  Most people limit themselves without realizing it's because
• 3:13
  familiar thinking feels safe even when it's no
• 3:17
  longer effective.
• 3:20
  Yeah, that's a very important thing I hope
• 3:25
  all of us can grow to appreciate and
• 3:29
  take the moment to really explore and enjoy
• 3:33
  life.
• 3:33
  I think that's something that a lot of
• 3:35
  people miss in life.
• 3:36
  They rush through everything so quickly.
• 3:39
  And then they wonder why life is going
• 3:42
  the way it is.
• 3:43
  OK, so let's dive right into the first
• 3:46
  point and change starts when assumptions break.
• 3:50
  OK, could be good, could be bad.
• 3:53
  Comfort often hides the truth.
• 3:57
  Familiar patterns delay.
• 3:58
  Number three, awareness.
• 4:01
  So when we are, for lack of better
• 4:03
  term, just doing things like doing the motions,
• 4:06
  we're not really sure why or how we're
• 4:09
  doing something.
• 4:10
  I think that's a very important thing to
• 4:13
  realize that that's going on.
• 4:17
  And so these are very important things to
• 4:21
  know.
• 4:22
  And I know that you're probably saying to
• 4:24
  me, John, you know, this doesn't make a
• 4:25
  lot of sense.
• 4:26
  But I want to tell you, it makes
• 4:28
  plenty of sense.
• 4:29
  And the reason it makes sense is that
• 4:30
  awareness helps us gain a very, very big
• 4:34
  perspective.
• 4:36
  OK, it's never too late to become aware.
• 4:39
  So, again, familiar patterns delay awareness because we're
• 4:42
  like, oh, it's safe, it's comfortable.
• 4:44
  But I told you success doesn't lie where
• 4:46
  it's comfortable.
• 4:47
  Number four, guys, stability can mask limitation.
• 4:52
  Yeah, when somebody's stable, when something's going perfectly,
• 4:55
  we don't think there's a reason that we
• 4:57
  need to change.
• 4:58
  But actually, the opposite is true.
• 5:00
  When things are going too smoothly, we have
• 5:02
  to make sure that we're enjoying the moment,
• 5:05
  that we're not getting hidden, OK?
• 5:09
  That's important, guys.
• 5:12
  That's a very, very important thing to, you
• 5:16
  know, to understand.
• 5:18
  And number five, guys, what feels normal?
• 5:21
  OK, what do I mean by normal?
• 5:23
  Normal is like the everyday course reaction.
• 5:26
  I don't like to say the word normal
• 5:27
  and saying, well, gee, are you normal, you're
• 5:29
  not normal.
• 5:30
  Does it follow the everyday expectation?
• 5:33
  That's what normal means.
• 5:35
  And what feels normal may not be optimal,
• 5:38
  even though you might say, John, well, you
• 5:41
  know, this is what I'm used to.
• 5:42
  Yeah, it's what you're comfortable with.
• 5:45
  OK, and that's a that's a problem, right?
• 5:48
  That's a big, big problem.
• 5:51
  And you're wondering why.
• 5:54
  And that's a big question.
• 5:58
  Yep, that's important.
• 6:01
  And I want to tell you that if
• 6:03
  we don't understand this, then we have to
• 6:09
  first start realizing why we're not getting the
• 6:13
  results that we've expected in life.
• 6:15
  It's not because we're not smart or anything
• 6:18
  like that.
• 6:18
  We're all smart.
• 6:19
  It's because we become too comfortable in the
• 6:22
  patterns in which we are now allowing to
• 6:24
  run our life.
• 6:26
  So I'm going to say this again, what
• 6:27
  feels normal, what you're doing every day, which
• 6:30
  just expected may not be the optimal way
• 6:34
  for your life.
• 6:34
  Number six, guys, repetition builds invisible structure.
• 6:41
  Repetition builds invisible structure.
• 6:43
  So.
• 6:45
  That's key, because when we repeat something over
• 6:49
  and over and over and over again, you
• 6:51
  know what happens?
• 6:52
  Well, we just sort of go around this
• 6:54
  mulberry bush.
• 6:56
  And we wonder why we're not getting a
• 6:59
  change.
• 7:02
  You know, Einstein said this a long time
• 7:04
  ago, you do the same thing over and
• 7:05
  over again.
• 7:05
  You don't get different results by doing the
• 7:08
  same thing over and over again.
• 7:09
  You just don't, guys.
• 7:11
  You do not get you just don't get
• 7:13
  it.
• 7:14
  You don't get the results.
• 7:17
  And the reason you don't get the results
• 7:19
  is because you're not changing anything, guys.
• 7:23
  You're not changing anything in your life.
• 7:27
  And that's a very important thing to actually
• 7:31
  understand.
• 7:33
  OK, very, very important thing to understand, because
• 7:38
  when we understand this, our life sort of
• 7:42
  takes it takes a different turn, guys.
• 7:45
  It takes a different turn.
• 7:48
  And that different turn is something that a
• 7:50
  lot of people say, you know what, John,
• 7:51
  I don't really know why or how that's
• 7:54
  happening.
• 7:55
  Right.
• 7:56
  I don't know how or why that is
• 7:59
  happening.
• 8:01
  And you might say to me, John, like,
• 8:04
  how is that even possible?
• 8:06
  Right.
• 8:08
  How is that even possible?
• 8:13
  And I want to ask you really clearly,
• 8:16
  why is it that we get stuck in
• 8:18
  these patterns?
• 8:19
  I think the reason we get so stuck
• 8:22
  in these patterns is because, well, they're they're
• 8:28
  a big challenge.
• 8:31
  And these challenges are not meant to cause
• 8:36
  a problem.
• 8:38
  But yet.
• 8:39
  They do sometimes.
• 8:42
  And then we're on the side saying, gee,
• 8:44
  well, how do I do this?
• 8:45
  How do I do that?
• 8:46
  How do I get back what I need
• 8:48
  in my life?
• 8:49
  How do I get back that?
• 8:52
  And that might be something that you don't
• 8:54
  really understand in your life.
• 8:57
  Right.
• 8:57
  You don't really understand like what that means.
• 9:01
  And you might be saying to me, John,
• 9:04
  yeah, this is great, but the question I
• 9:06
  have for you is, is it really great
• 9:10
  or is it something that you're just, like
• 9:13
  I said, going through the motions about?
• 9:16
  So these are all, you know, very, very
• 9:18
  important things that a lot of people become.
• 9:23
  Well, they become frustrated with them.
• 9:26
  That's number one.
• 9:27
  Number eight, behavior defines direction.
• 9:31
  Behavior defines direction.
• 9:33
  So how you behave defines how you're going
• 9:36
  to be, how you're going to coexist in
• 9:39
  the world.
• 9:41
  All right.
• 9:42
  I think that's a very important one to
• 9:46
  to know.
• 9:48
  Right.
• 9:51
  Maybe you're wondering why something is a certain
• 9:55
  way, but then again, maybe you're saying, John,
• 10:00
  this doesn't make sense.
• 10:03
  And the reason it doesn't make sense, I'm
• 10:05
  going to tell you why it doesn't make
• 10:06
  sense.
• 10:07
  It's because you're expecting a different result, but
• 10:11
  you're not changing anything.
• 10:14
  You're not changing anything.
• 10:16
  And that, ladies and gentlemen, can be a
• 10:20
  very, very big, big problem.
• 10:25
  Because you're not changing anything.
• 10:29
  And that's something that a lot of you
• 10:31
  say, well, you know, I got to push
• 10:32
  harder, you know, I got to put more
• 10:34
  hours and I got I've got to push.
• 10:37
  But really, guys, that's not what the secret
• 10:40
  is.
• 10:42
  It's not the secret.
• 10:44
  So we need to get clear with what
• 10:46
  these things mean in our life.
• 10:48
  And when we can get clear.
• 10:52
  Life will change.
• 10:56
  Life will change again, I don't want to
• 10:58
  tell you it's going to change overnight because
• 11:00
  it's not going to change overnight, I'm going
• 11:02
  to tell you that right now, it is
• 11:04
  not going to change overnight.
• 11:07
  OK, I mean, that's just that's just the
• 11:09
  bottom line, right?
• 11:11
  It's not going to change overnight.
• 11:14
  And it won't change overnight, it will change
• 11:17
  with an awareness, guys.
• 11:20
  An awareness, OK, an awareness that means you
• 11:28
  are going to be better than you expected
• 11:30
  you could be.
• 11:33
  Let's jump to number nine.
• 11:35
  Direction defines the outcomes.
• 11:41
  You set a direction, you set an address
• 11:43
  in your GPS and guess what?
• 11:45
  You're suddenly going that way.
• 11:50
  Number 10.
• 11:52
  Most people never question patterns, they just live
• 11:56
  them, they just push through them and they
• 11:58
  don't understand why these patterns are like that.
• 12:03
  They don't understand the why.
• 12:06
  And that why is very interesting, guys.
• 12:10
  Right.
• 12:11
  It's an interesting way, but does it mean
• 12:15
  anything directly?
• 12:18
  And guess what I got to tell you?
• 12:20
  No.
• 12:21
  See, you just keep doing the same pattern.
• 12:24
  The only thing it means is that you're
• 12:27
  not going to get any difference, you're not
• 12:28
  going to get any difference in your life.
• 12:32
  And I think that's a very I think
• 12:34
  that's a very, very important thing to to
• 12:38
  realize or to, I should say, to understand.
• 12:41
  You're not going to get what that is
• 12:44
  in your life, you're just not going to
• 12:46
  get it.
• 12:48
  And I don't say that to be harsh
• 12:49
  or to be mean to anybody.
• 12:51
  I say that because you have to understand
• 12:55
  what you're doing.
• 12:57
  As I said, most people never question the
• 12:59
  patterns.
• 12:59
  Number 11.
• 13:00
  Exposure will force new thinking.
• 13:03
  It will cause you to change how you
• 13:06
  are by the exposure, but the exposure one
• 13:10
  time won't do it.
• 13:11
  Got to get some water here, guys.
• 13:12
  Just one exposure won't do it, won't get
• 13:16
  you to change.
• 13:17
  Number 12, guys, old labels.
• 13:20
  Stop making sense.
• 13:23
  They stop making sense, suddenly shouldn't have labels
• 13:28
  for anything anyway, but what you assigned or
• 13:31
  what you categorize something is not what it
• 13:33
  is anymore.
• 13:35
  Number 13, guys, identity begins to loosen, identity
• 13:40
  begins to loosen.
• 13:41
  I think that's a real interesting perspective.
• 13:44
  Taking us to our next point, number 14,
• 13:47
  perspective starts to shift.
• 13:49
  Perspective starts to shift.
• 13:53
  That's a big wow moment, guys.
• 13:56
  Perspective starts to shift.
• 14:03
  When a perspective shifts, it's like.
• 14:07
  We can't unknow or unlearn this new piece
• 14:11
  of information.
• 14:12
  Number 15, guys, beliefs begin to get challenged
• 14:17
  when a belief gets challenged, what happens?
• 14:20
  Some people put up their mental or their
• 14:22
  physical wall like, no, no, no, no, no.
• 14:24
  But it's because they are afraid of not
• 14:29
  being comfortable because it's going to push them.
• 14:32
  That's a problem.
• 14:35
  Number 16, guys, mental models lose rigidity.
• 14:40
  Mental models lose rigidity.
• 14:43
  That's important.
• 14:46
  Awareness introduces discomfort.
• 14:48
  Number 17, awareness introduces discomfort and you got
• 14:51
  to get used to discomfort because discomfort is
• 14:55
  where the success actually starts to lie.
• 14:59
  You've got to get uncomfortable.
• 15:02
  You got to practice getting comfortable, being uncomfortable.
• 15:06
  Let me say that again.
• 15:07
  You got to practice being uncomfortable.
• 15:13
  So you got to be practicing being comfortable,
• 15:16
  getting uncomfortable.
• 15:17
  Yeah, I know that's a little bit of
• 15:19
  a tongue-tier, so you got to practice
• 15:20
  getting comfortable, being uncomfortable.
• 15:23
  Number 18, guys, discomfort signals growth, but the
• 15:30
  growth doesn't pour in like immediately, it trickles
• 15:35
  in.
• 15:36
  It gives us an awareness.
• 15:37
  It gives us a new insight.
• 15:40
  Number 20, guys, resistance reveals attachment.
• 15:47
  Now, I've said this many times before, when
• 15:50
  we detach from something, it no longer controls,
• 15:57
  it no longer has an empowerment over us,
• 16:00
  it no longer has that, and I think
• 16:03
  that's a very important thing for a lot
• 16:05
  of people to know, it no longer has
• 16:08
  that ability.
• 16:12
  And the reason it doesn't have that ability
• 16:14
  is because we're not part of it.
• 16:20
  And by our choice of not being part
• 16:22
  of something is a huge, huge, huge benefit,
• 16:29
  a huge benefit, not a small benefit, guys,
• 16:32
  a huge benefit, and that huge benefit can
• 16:35
  make a big difference.
• 16:38
  But only if we're willing to detach.
• 16:42
  Now, let me see if I can give
• 16:43
  an example.
• 16:44
  So maybe you're having a challenge with somebody,
• 16:49
  could be a friend, acquaintance, what have you.
• 16:52
  But you feel like that person is dragging
• 16:55
  you in all the time.
• 16:55
  You feel like you can't say no to
• 16:57
  that person.
• 16:57
  I'm going to tell you why you can't
• 16:59
  say no to that person.
• 17:00
  It's because you're too attached to them.
• 17:02
  Now, I'm not saying physically, I'm saying your
• 17:06
  mindset being too attached.
• 17:08
  When you detach, it doesn't have to be
• 17:09
  a person, it could be things.
• 17:11
  Let's say you were so into an exercise,
• 17:16
  right?
• 17:16
  But you were detached from it, it wouldn't
• 17:18
  control you.
• 17:19
  If there's an activity, a person, or a
• 17:21
  thing, and you detach from it, it no
• 17:26
  longer has power over you.
• 17:28
  It no longer has power over you.
• 17:33
  That's a very interesting thought, but it's truthful.
• 17:39
  It's truthful.
• 17:41
  If you want something to have more meaning
• 17:43
  to you, you can attach to it, but
• 17:44
  be careful because when you attach, it will
• 17:46
  control you.
• 17:48
  So just detach from something and you'll see
• 17:51
  how much it won't control you anymore.
• 17:54
  Number 21, guys, growth begins with discomfort.
• 17:59
  I said this before, but the problem is
• 18:01
  most people don't want to take the discomfort.
• 18:15
  Most people don't want to have the discomfort.
• 18:19
  Even though the discomfort might be minor, maybe
• 18:25
  it might be minor.
• 18:27
  Maybe, but people are afraid.
• 18:31
  They don't know what that's going to be.
• 18:44
  They're afraid.
• 18:45
  So they'd rather hide.
• 18:47
  They'd rather not do something than risk being
• 18:51
  uncomfortable.
• 18:56
  Let me ask you a question.
• 18:57
  Everything you've done in your life, has everything
• 19:00
  been comfortable the first time you tried it?
• 19:03
  No.
• 19:04
  Maybe you played sports.
• 19:05
  Was it comfortable the first time?
• 19:08
  And if you tell me no, I know
• 19:10
  you're lying.
• 19:11
  But when something is uncomfortable, we are in
• 19:15
  the learning stage of it, guys.
• 19:18
  We're learning it.
• 19:20
  We're doing our very best, but we're learning
• 19:23
  it right now.
• 19:24
  That's a key, key point.
• 19:28
  A very, very key point.
• 19:31
  All right.
• 19:33
  Let's move on to our next point.
• 19:35
  Fear.
• 19:37
  False evidence appearing real, protects our old identity.
• 19:41
  This is why people fight for a change,
• 19:45
  to not change, I should say.
• 19:47
  They're afraid of losing who they are.
• 19:50
  And they don't know what the new idea
• 19:53
  is going to be.
• 19:58
  They're afraid they might have to be completely
• 20:02
  different.
• 20:03
  And they don't know if they can do
• 20:05
  that or not.
• 20:06
  So they'd rather just stay on the side
• 20:08
  of the grass or the fence.
• 20:09
  That's easy.
• 20:10
  That's comfortable.
• 20:10
  That's not bogging people.
• 20:13
  Number 23, guys.
• 20:25
  So when you resist, what you have persists
• 20:30
  and you can't grow.
• 20:34
  You just keep running into more walls.
• 20:38
  More walls day in and day out.
• 20:41
  All because you don't have an open mind.
• 20:49
  You don't have an open mind.
• 20:54
  It's not because you can't have an open
• 20:55
  mind.
• 20:56
  It's because you don't.
• 21:00
  It's because you don't have an open mind.
• 21:02
  But you could change that.
• 21:05
  You could allow that resistance to literally fall
• 21:09
  away.
• 21:10
  And what you will find is that when
• 21:12
  you let that resistance drop.
• 21:16
  You'll be more productive.
• 21:18
  You'll be using less energy.
• 21:21
  You'll be more peaceful.
• 21:22
  You'll enjoy life a lot better.
• 21:25
  Number 24, guys.
• 21:28
  Clarity begins replacing confusion.
• 21:31
  Clarity begins replacing confusion.
• 21:34
  If we can replace confusion, then we can
• 21:40
  obviously become more successful.
• 21:45
  When clarity is the factor of us doing
• 21:49
  what we want to do, we've got to
• 21:53
  get clear.
• 21:54
  I'll give you a quick story.
• 21:56
  I was in Toastmasters, went pretty much up
• 21:59
  the chain there.
• 22:00
  And I remember having to do one of
• 22:03
  the books.
• 22:03
  And I remember that I was ahead.
• 22:05
  But then I remember there was one part
• 22:07
  that was confusing.
• 22:08
  So I let it sit for a while.
• 22:10
  I was talking to one of the leaders.
• 22:12
  And I said, gee, I said, where are
• 22:13
  you?
• 22:13
  I said, well, I can't get this one
• 22:15
  piece done.
• 22:16
  He said, what's the problem?
• 22:17
  I don't understand what they want.
• 22:20
  He said, oh, yeah, I had the same
• 22:21
  problem.
• 22:22
  That new book is very confusing.
• 22:23
  The old book was a lot clearer.
• 22:24
  I said, oh, explain it to me.
• 22:27
  I figured out what I had to do.
• 22:29
  Next week I did it and I was
• 22:30
  done.
• 22:32
  We allow confusion to obfuscate what we have
• 22:41
  to do.
• 22:42
  It doesn't need to be encrypted.
• 22:45
  But we make it that way.
• 22:47
  We make it harder than what it really
• 22:48
  is.
• 22:49
  Number 25, guys, hidden patterns become visible.
• 22:53
  They do.
• 22:55
  You can try to hide all you want.
• 22:58
  But that eventually will come to the top.
• 23:01
  What do they always say with a cup
• 23:02
  of coffee or tea?
• 23:04
  The cream will rise to the top.
• 23:07
  And so will your hidden patterns.
• 23:09
  They will not stay hidden forever.
• 23:12
  They won't stay hidden forever.
• 23:14
  That's true.
• 23:15
  Number 26, guys, misinterpretation gets corrected.
• 23:21
  What did I tell you about the Toastmasters
• 23:23
  thing?
• 23:24
  Anything can be corrected if you want to
• 23:27
  do it.
• 23:28
  If you don't, it will just stay a
• 23:31
  mess.
• 23:33
  It will just stay in this endless loop.
• 23:37
  This reminds me of a thing we learned
• 23:40
  in programming many years ago called the endless
• 23:42
  loop.
• 23:43
  And if we don't have something that checks
• 23:46
  to make sure that the loop can never
• 23:49
  end, the loop could run forever and ever
• 23:50
  and ever and ever and ever and ever
• 23:52
  and ever and never stop.
• 23:54
  But we have to put checks in there
• 23:56
  to make sure that the loop can end.
• 24:01
  Number 27, guys, awareness replaces judgment.
• 24:05
  Our awareness replaces judgment.
• 24:07
  When we're aware of something, we're less likely
• 24:10
  to judge.
• 24:11
  We're less likely to judge.
• 24:15
  Number 28, guys, understanding starts forming.
• 24:21
  Understanding starts forming.
• 24:23
  And when the understanding starts forming, we as
• 24:26
  a person change who we are.
• 24:30
  But I want to tell you this does
• 24:31
  not happen overnight.
• 24:33
  Let me say that again.
• 24:35
  This does not happen overnight.
• 24:39
  It doesn't.
• 24:43
  It doesn't happen overnight.
• 24:46
  Number 29, guys, new insight changes belief.
• 24:49
  So when you have a new perception, when
• 24:52
  you learn something, it'll change your perspective.
• 24:57
  It'll change your belief.
• 24:58
  It'll even change the way you do something.
• 25:01
  But once you know something, you can't go
• 25:03
  back to unknowing it.
• 25:06
  Right?
• 25:06
  If you know that a certain food is
• 25:08
  bad for you, you can't go back and
• 25:09
  unknow that that food is suddenly good for
• 25:11
  you.
• 25:12
  No.
• 25:13
  Once you learn that secret ingredient, that secret
• 25:17
  thing that you've been missing, once you learn
• 25:20
  it, and it's something you don't like, you
• 25:23
  can't get rid of it.
• 25:25
  You can't unlearn it.
• 25:27
  Number 30, guys, identity begins reconstructing when you
• 25:33
  finally see clearly.
• 25:35
  You cannot return to how you saw or
• 25:39
  heard before, which is what I'm trying to
• 25:40
  tell you.
• 25:42
  What you discover, whether it's from yourself or
• 25:46
  from others, you can't go back and unlearn
• 25:48
  that fact.
• 25:50
  See, guys, this is a key moment.
• 25:54
  That is the time where we have transformation,
• 25:58
  which starts to begin.
• 25:59
  Now, not through a brutal force, but through
• 26:02
  a very subtle awareness that changes our own
• 26:06
  interpretation.
• 26:07
  And once our interpretation changes, guess what happens,
• 26:12
  ladies and gentlemen?
• 26:14
  Our direction follows.
• 26:16
  Our direction changes if it's not in that
• 26:18
  direction.
• 26:19
  See, this, ladies and gentlemen, is the foundation
• 26:21
  of inspirations for your life.
• 26:23
  It's not just motivation.
• 26:25
  It's not hype, okay?
• 26:28
  But it's clarity that leads to lasting change.
• 26:32
  Once truth is seen, it cannot be unseen.
• 26:37
  Or I should say, once truth is learned,
• 26:40
  it cannot be unlearned.
• 26:41
  And once, ladies and gentlemen, it cannot be
• 26:45
  unseen, direction becomes intentional.
• 26:53
  Intentional life starts with purpose.
• 26:58
  Intentional life and purpose comes from a clear
• 27:02
  direction, a knowing.
• 27:08
  And when we get that, we're able to
• 27:11
  say, wait a minute, now I understand.
• 27:14
  Now I see why this didn't work before.
• 27:18
  I was approaching it in a completely different
• 27:21
  way, not the way I should have.
• 27:26
  But then you notice something.
• 27:28
  This wasn't as hard as I thought it
• 27:30
  was going to be.
• 27:32
  But we make things harder than they actually
• 27:34
  are because we're creatures of habit.
• 27:38
  We are afraid to change.
• 27:41
  One of the hardest things to get humans
• 27:42
  to do is to change.
• 27:43
  You have to prove to them that there's
• 27:45
  a reason, ladies and gentlemen, to stay driven.
• 27:49
  You have to prove them that there's a
• 27:50
  reason to get up.
• 27:51
  You have to prove them that there's a
• 27:53
  reason to continue on.
• 27:55

• 27:57

• 28:06
  realize that to have a successful life, that
• 28:08
  you'll always want to enjoy and share and
• 28:12
  do so much with, is you've got to
• 28:15
  make sure every moment is intentional.
• 28:16
  Have yourself a great one, everyone.

  I'll catch you real soon.
