• 1:51
  Speaker 4: You have to execute that, you have to perform do
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: you have to get the job done, especially when you
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: don't feel like it.
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: That's what I call testings.
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: This is a race that you run completely along and
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: you're all by yourself.
• 2:07
  Speaker 7: I woke up one day and stop making excuses. I
• 2:11
  Speaker 7: woke up one day and stop playing the blame game.
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: I woke up one.
• 2:14
  Speaker 7: Day and looked at the man, and the men was like, yo, bro,
• 2:17
  Speaker 7: what are you doing? Wake up and show top look go.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: I will never quit because if you quit, you're done.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: You may still be alive walking around on this earth.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: You're done. I will never quit. I will persevere, and
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: I will thrive on adversity. My team expects me to
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: be physically harder and mentally stronger than our opponents. I
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: hold myself to that standard. I will be physically harder
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: and mentally stronger than anything that comes against me my family,
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: my business, my brothers, my sisters, my team. I will
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: be the one that is physically harder and mentally stronger,
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: and I will work to maintain that position.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: You won't beat me.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: If not down, I will get back up every single time.
• 3:04
  Speaker 7: You can decide that you're gonna stand up to light.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: You can decide that I'm gonna live each day as
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: if it were my last.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: If you're going to try go all the way otherwise,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: don't even start. If you're going to try go all
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the way.
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: On the other side of that extreme place that I
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: call suffering, call whatever you want.
• 3:33
  Speaker 8: There's a whole nother.
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: World that people have not even examined, but you have
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: to go to that extreme place to examine it. You
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: want to stay here in this comfortable place. Once you're
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: going to push yourself to that extreme place. It's like
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: a whole other universe. And someone's like, like, you're an
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: astronaut and you've examined something like up and outer space. No,
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: it's always been there, but you had to be going
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: through all the muck and all the examine it, you
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: realize why God do all this crap. There's a whole
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: another the universe over here in my mind.
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: Maybe you should change a little bit.
• 4:07
  Speaker 9: Maybe you need to understand that everything is not gonna
• 4:10
  Speaker 9: always go the way you think it should go. If
• 4:15
  Speaker 9: the world is so perfect, we would be in the
• 4:17
  Speaker 9: position that we are in right now.
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: But it is not the world fault.
• 4:21
  Speaker 9: It's the people that are living in it, and you,
• 4:25
  Speaker 9: my friend, are part of it. I am a part
• 4:27
  Speaker 9: of it. And the decisions that we make.
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: The way we think of ourselves, the way we think
• 4:32
  Speaker 7: of our brothers and sisters, would be the true outcome
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: of where we are as people.
• 4:42
  Speaker 9: So maybe all of these bad things that we are
• 4:44
  Speaker 9: experiencing in our lives is because it must happen. But
• 4:47
  Speaker 9: we are learning, Believe me, we are learning, but we're growing.
• 4:54
  Speaker 8: Maybe some people.
• 4:55
  Speaker 9: Don't realize the importance of heartship. Some people don't realize
• 5:01
  Speaker 9: that it's okay to go through those hard times. That's
• 5:05
  Speaker 9: what you're learning right now.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: If you want freedom, there's going to be an element
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: of risk. There's going to have to be sacrifices. Me,
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: there's going to have to be late nights, extra hours, persistence,
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: and most importantly growth. If you don't become someone else,
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: you will not be able to earn your freedom. The
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: person you are right.
• 5:32
  Speaker 7: Now might not be good enough for the life you want.
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: If you really want it, you're going to have to
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: become someone else.
• 5:42
  Speaker 8: What you become in a process is more important than
• 5:45
  Speaker 8: the dreaming.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: The kind of person you become, the character.
• 5:48
  Speaker 9: That you build, the courage that you develop, the faith
• 5:50
  Speaker 9: that you're manifested.
• 5:52
  Speaker 8: Oh, it's something.
• 5:53
  Speaker 9: That you get up in the one and you look
• 5:54
  Speaker 9: yourself in the mirror.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: You're a different kind of person, you work with a
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: different kind of spirit.
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: You know withall, but you did at all.
• 6:04
  Speaker 8: Learn your weaknesses. Everybody has their strengths and weaknesses. Whatever
• 6:09
  Speaker 8: it is, it can have the same effect on everyone.
• 6:13
  Speaker 8: Self discipline starts with acknowledging your imperfections, regardless of how
• 6:18
  Speaker 8: small they may be. People try to make their weaknesses
• 6:22
  Speaker 8: disappear in order to project the strong person. This can
• 6:25
  Speaker 8: be very ineffective when it is about self discipline. This
• 6:30
  Speaker 8: is a poor way to approach self discipline. Acknowledge your faults.
• 6:35
  Speaker 8: It is impossible to overcome them unless you do remove
• 6:39
  Speaker 8: all temptations. Once you have admitted your weaknesses. Everybody has
• 6:42
  Speaker 8: their weaknesses. This can include small things like a poor
• 6:46
  Speaker 8: diet or a habit that can hinder productivity. If you
• 6:50
  Speaker 8: are able to recognize your weaknesses, it is possible to
• 6:53
  Speaker 8: make accommodations that will help reduce the temptations. One example
• 6:58
  Speaker 8: is if someone is trying to lose weight but knows
• 7:00
  Speaker 8: that their weakness is eating chocolate after dinner every night.
• 7:04
  Speaker 8: The temptation would be to not buy more chocolate. It
• 7:07
  Speaker 8: would make them possible for them to succumb to the
• 7:09
  Speaker 8: temptation of eating chocolate, which could hinder their progress in
• 7:12
  Speaker 8: getting fit, but they can still eat chocolate. This means
• 7:16
  Speaker 8: they can now indulge in their favorite snacks once they
• 7:19
  Speaker 8: have met a certain percentage of the goal. To be
• 7:21
  Speaker 8: self reliant, it is important that you reward yourself, set
• 7:26
  Speaker 8: the goals, and create an implementation plan. For self discipline
• 7:31
  Speaker 8: to be maintained, one must have a clear view of
• 7:33
  Speaker 8: the goals they are trying achieve. You must also understand
• 7:38
  Speaker 8: what success means for you. It's easy for someone to
• 7:41
  Speaker 8: lose their way or get sidetracked if they don't know
• 7:43
  Speaker 8: where their goal is or how to accomplish it. It
• 7:45
  Speaker 8: is important to be clear and concise in your goals.
• 7:49
  Speaker 8: Do not use goals such as I want be rich
• 7:51
  Speaker 8: with in the next five year. This goal is too
• 7:54
  Speaker 8: general to have any sense. Instead, create a quantifiable goal,
• 7:59
  Speaker 8: for example, I am going to save twenty thousand dollars
• 8:02
  Speaker 8: this year. You can then create a plan that makes
• 8:05
  Speaker 8: sense to you. By setting a measurable goal, a person
• 8:08
  Speaker 8: can save two thousand dollars each monthly for the remainder
• 8:11
  Speaker 8: of the year to achieve their goal to save twenty
• 8:13
  Speaker 8: thousand dollars by end of the year. They can also
• 8:16
  Speaker 8: break these goals down to find ways to save money
• 8:19
  Speaker 8: or increase their income in order to achieve the goal.
• 8:23
  Speaker 8: Begin building your self discipline. Self discipline can be learned
• 8:26
  Speaker 8: and is not something people are born with. Self discipline,
• 8:30
  Speaker 8: like all other skills that people want to learn, requires
• 8:33
  Speaker 8: practice and repetition. The more you exercise your muscles, the
• 8:37
  Speaker 8: stronger and bigger they will be. The process of making
• 8:40
  Speaker 8: changes takes time. For example, to build muscles and expand them,
• 8:45
  Speaker 8: it may take several weeks before you see the results.
• 8:48
  Speaker 8: Training self discipline takes a lot of focus and effort.
• 8:51
  Speaker 8: As you become more disciplined, it becomes more difficult to
• 8:54
  Speaker 8: use your will power. Sometimes people feel more able to
• 8:58
  Speaker 8: resist temptations or decisions than they do to be able
• 9:01
  Speaker 8: to handle other tasks. A good mindset will help you
• 9:04
  Speaker 8: overcome this. A good mindset creates a buffer against how
• 9:08
  Speaker 8: quickly your willpower gets drained. You will also be able
• 9:12
  Speaker 8: to exert more will power if it is done more
• 9:15
  Speaker 8: often than if it were just started. A new habit
• 9:18
  Speaker 8: is necessary to increase self discipline. It can feel intimidating
• 9:22
  Speaker 8: at first, especially when you're focusing on one goal at
• 9:24
  Speaker 8: a time. You can avoid this overwhelming feeling by keeping
• 9:28
  Speaker 8: it simple. Break down your big goal into smaller, manageable steps.
• 9:33
  Speaker 8: Instead of trying for one large goal or trying to
• 9:36
  Speaker 8: change all your habits, try to focus on just one
• 9:39
  Speaker 8: thing each day and develop yourself discipline to get in
• 9:42
  Speaker 8: better shape. You can exercise for ten to fifteen minutes
• 9:45
  Speaker 8: every day. It is better to set smaller goals than
• 9:48
  Speaker 8: trying to hit the gym for two hours every day.
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: This can be overwhelming. Start small and gradually increase your
• 9:53
  Speaker 8: gym visits by establishing a routine. Once that goal becomes
• 9:57
  Speaker 8: a habit, then you can focus on s smaller goals
• 10:01
  Speaker 8: and continue building words. Adjust your viewpoints regarding willpower. Most
• 10:08
  Speaker 8: researchers believe that there's a limit to the amount of
• 10:10
  Speaker 8: willpower that we can use, but their research showed that
• 10:14
  Speaker 8: those who believe that there was no limit at higher
• 10:17
  Speaker 8: willpower stocks, they will probably not exceed their limits if
• 10:20
  Speaker 8: they believe they have a limit on their willpower. But
• 10:23
  Speaker 8: if someone doesn't have a set amount of willpower, they
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: are less likely that they will reach their goals. In
• 10:28
  Speaker 8: determining how much willpower a person has, a person's inner
• 10:33
  Speaker 8: perception of their willpower and self control plays a significant role.
• 10:38
  Speaker 8: This is because if a person believes they have a
• 10:40
  Speaker 8: large amount of willpower and can believe in themselves, they
• 10:44
  Speaker 8: are less likely that they will lose it. Change the
• 10:46
  Speaker 8: way that you think about your willpower. Think of it
• 10:49
  Speaker 8: as a source that could run out, but which you
• 10:51
  Speaker 8: can replenish through your beliefs. This mindset is much better
• 10:55
  Speaker 8: than thinking that your willpower can run out, so be
• 10:58
  Speaker 8: sparing with it.
• 11:00
  Speaker 10: It is one of the strange ironies of this strange
• 11:04
  Speaker 10: life that those who work the hardest, who subject themselves
• 11:08
  Speaker 10: to the strictest discipline, who give up certain pleasurable things
• 11:12
  Speaker 10: in order to achieve a goal are the happiest. When
• 11:15
  Speaker 10: you see twenty or thirty people line up for a
• 11:19
  Speaker 10: distance race and some meet, don't pity them, don't feel
• 11:23
  Speaker 10: sorry for them, Better envy them instead, or a person
• 11:28
  Speaker 10: who has never tested their self discipline over a long
• 11:32
  Speaker 10: period of time. It's hard to believe that giving up
• 11:35
  Speaker 10: pleasure can lead to immense happiness and living your life
• 11:40
  Speaker 10: the hard way makes it easier. People who voluntarily expose
• 11:44
  Speaker 10: themselves to challenges are more capable of handling unforeseen hardships. Moreover,
• 11:50
  Speaker 10: giving up certain pleasures, such as unhealthy food and sitting
• 11:54
  Speaker 10: all day in front of the TV can lead to
• 11:57
  Speaker 10: immense improvements in one's well being. Maintaining a healthy weight
• 12:02
  Speaker 10: and beneficial nutritional habits doesn't just lead to physical improvements.
• 12:07
  Speaker 10: It also affects self esteem, reduces the risk for depression,
• 12:11
  Speaker 10: and improves your body image. Giving up on pleasurable things,
• 12:17
  Speaker 10: such as spending money without control, can also help you
• 12:20
  Speaker 10: avoid crushing problems in the future. Today it might be
• 12:24
  Speaker 10: inconvenient that you can't spend your entire salary, but tomorrow
• 12:27
  Speaker 10: your savings can save you from bankruptcy or pay for
• 12:31
  Speaker 10: an urgent medical intervention. Lastly, self discipline is in itself
• 12:36
  Speaker 10: a manifestation of your higher being and is connected with
• 12:40
  Speaker 10: nobler strivings. A human being reduced to its primal form
• 12:45
  Speaker 10: has little ability for self control. Operating in scarcity mode
• 12:51
  Speaker 10: and left to its own devices, your primal brain will
• 12:54
  Speaker 10: stuff your body until you won't be able to walk.
• 12:56
  Speaker 10: It will make you cheat on your partner with every
• 13:00
  Speaker 10: passing stranger. It will assume that every step outside the
• 13:04
  Speaker 10: comfort zone is a danger, and so you'll never grow.
• 13:07
  Speaker 10: Exerting self control is working against the dominance of your
• 13:10
  Speaker 10: primal brain. You forego primal urges in order to reach
• 13:14
  Speaker 10: bigger and more important goals, or to cultivate values that
• 13:18
  Speaker 10: are important to you. You can live your life in
• 13:22
  Speaker 10: a way that is congruent with who you are as
• 13:25
  Speaker 10: a deeply complex human being, not a mere animal with
• 13:29
  Speaker 10: the ability to reason. This leads to experiencing a wide
• 13:34
  Speaker 10: variety of experiences that life has to offer. Many of
• 13:38
  Speaker 10: them are immensely more gratifying than merely satisfying the most
• 13:42
  Speaker 10: basic human needs. Don't wait for tomorrow to do something
• 13:47
  Speaker 10: you can do today. Have you been pondering starting on
• 13:52
  Speaker 10: a new goal but are still procrastinating on it. Come
• 13:56
  Speaker 10: up with the easiest, simplest and quickest action you can
• 14:00
  Speaker 10: take today to initiate momentum. If you want to stop
• 14:03
  Speaker 10: eating sugar, eliminate all chocolate bars from your house, or
• 14:07
  Speaker 10: choose one day a week during which you won't eat
• 14:10
  Speaker 10: sugar in any form. Take it from there, step by step.
• 14:15
  Speaker 10: If you want to start exercising on a regular basis,
• 14:18
  Speaker 10: do three push ups in three squats now or any
• 14:21
  Speaker 10: other super quick exercise. Tomorrow, do one more repetition, find
• 14:26
  Speaker 10: a more suitable workout once you establish the basic habit
• 14:29
  Speaker 10: of some exercise, even if it's just a few push
• 14:32
  Speaker 10: ups a day. If you want to start saving money,
• 14:36
  Speaker 10: take just one dollar out of your wallet and put
• 14:37
  Speaker 10: it in a jar. Yes, it won't change anything today,
• 14:40
  Speaker 10: but if you add one dollar for the next three months,
• 14:43
  Speaker 10: you'll have saved one hundred bucks and established a habit
• 14:46
  Speaker 10: of saving. There's no excuse to not take any of
• 14:49
  Speaker 10: those simple actions now and finally break the chain of procrastination.
• 14:54
  Speaker 10: Don't overthink it, and don't obsess over the future. Take
• 14:58
  Speaker 10: care of establishing a tiny habit to day and take
• 15:01
  Speaker 10: it from there.
