- 1:55Speaker 1: Of what I'm gonna miss out on, missing out on
- 1:57Speaker 1: the mission, missing out who I'm supposed to be listening.
- 2:00Speaker 1: In other words, if you do not get rid of fear,
- 2:02Speaker 1: then use there use fear or it uses you.
- 2:04Speaker 5: It's that simple.
- 2:05Speaker 1: You are not like everybody else. You're can walk outside
- 2:09Speaker 1: and find pigeons, but if you're looking for eagles, it's
- 2:13Speaker 1: gonna take you a minute. You are different. It's lonely
- 2:17Speaker 1: at the top. How many of you know it's longly
- 2:18Speaker 1: at the top.
- 2:19Speaker 5: He's lonely at the top.
- 2:21Speaker 4: But you eat better, and it's not the end until
- 2:24Speaker 4: you've given up. And just the fact that you're here
- 2:29Speaker 4: should persuade you that you have another chance to get
- 2:32Speaker 4: back up.
- 2:33Speaker 6: They're still pop.
- 2:34Speaker 4: I'm not here today to tell you that I understand
- 2:36Speaker 4: your opinion. I don't know how it feels to be abused.
- 2:39Speaker 4: I don't know how it feels to feel quote fat
- 2:42Speaker 4: and you've got an eating disorder. I don't know how
- 2:44Speaker 4: it first have a broken home. I don't know how
- 2:47Speaker 4: it feels. I don't know how it feels to have
- 2:50Speaker 4: a broken heart, and I know how it feels to
- 2:53Speaker 4: be alone. And I want you to know that I
- 2:57Speaker 4: found my strength in Jesus Christ, and you're gonna find
- 2:59Speaker 4: your strength whatever you find to do. I just want
- 3:03Speaker 4: you to know that it's not it matters how you're
- 3:07Speaker 4: going to finish. Are you going to finish strong? You
- 3:17Speaker 4: will find that strength to get back up Black Das.
- 3:40Speaker 8: Your present or past results have absolutely.
- 3:44Speaker 5: Nothing to do with what's going.
- 3:47Speaker 8: To happen from this point forward. Now, that was the
- 3:50Speaker 8: point that race Stand for A drilled into my head.
- 3:53Speaker 8: You see, I kept thinking, well, gee, it's such a
- 3:56Speaker 8: mess up. You know, I've done everything wrong up till now.
- 3:58Speaker 8: I'm twenty six. I'm not happy. Everything was wrong, he said, Bob,
- 4:03Speaker 8: that's all in the past. He said, every moment.
- 4:10Speaker 3: Is a new moment. We shouldn't condemn ourselves. And he said,
- 4:16Speaker 3: what you were yesterday, you paid for what you are
- 4:19Speaker 3: today you decide upon That's exactly what troewords say. This
- 4:24Speaker 3: power in no way is limited by precedent. Even in
- 4:30Speaker 3: a creative state. We sometimes don't understand that. Do you
- 4:35Speaker 3: know why airplanes right up to today almost have wings
- 4:38Speaker 3: on them because birds have wings. Birds fly, they have wings.
- 4:45Speaker 3: You're going to get a plane to fly, you got
- 4:47Speaker 3: to put wings on it. Do you know we've got
- 4:50Speaker 3: planes flyings that wings today. You know why I never
- 4:52Speaker 3: did need wings. But you see, the thinking was to
- 4:55Speaker 3: a degree limited by precedent. Birds fly with wings, Planes
- 4:59Speaker 3: have to have wings. Planes do not have to have wings.
- 5:03Speaker 3: You're creative. If you can visualize it, you can do it. It
- 5:05Speaker 3: doesn't matter what it is. That's what he'll said. Anything
- 5:07Speaker 3: in mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.
- 5:10Speaker 7: There is no more effective way of operating in the
- 5:13Speaker 7: world than to conceptualize the highest good that you can
- 5:16Speaker 7: and then strive to attain it. There's no more practical
- 5:22Speaker 7: pathway to the kind of success that you could have
- 5:25Speaker 7: if you actually knew what success was. The world shifts
- 5:29Speaker 7: itself around your aim because you're a creature that has
- 5:34Speaker 7: an aim. You have to have an aim in order
- 5:36Speaker 7: to do something. You're an aiming creature. You look at
- 5:38Speaker 7: a point and you move towards it. It's built right
- 5:41Speaker 7: into you, and so you have an aim. Well, let's
- 5:44Speaker 7: say your aim is the highest possible aim. Well, then
- 5:47Speaker 7: so that sets up the world around you. It organizes
- 5:51Speaker 7: all of your perceptions, It organizes what you see and
- 5:53Speaker 7: you don't see. It organizes your emotions and your motivations.
- 5:57Speaker 7: So you organize yourself around that aim. And then what
- 5:59Speaker 7: happens is the day manifests itself as a set of
- 6:03Speaker 7: challenges and problems, and if you solve them properly, then
- 6:07Speaker 7: you stay on the pathway towards that aim, and you
- 6:09Speaker 7: can concentrate on the on the on the day, and
- 6:12Speaker 7: so that way you get to have your cake and
- 6:13Speaker 7: eat it too. Because you can you can point into
- 6:16Speaker 7: the distance, the far distance, and you can live in
- 6:19Speaker 7: the day and it seems to me that that's that
- 6:24Speaker 7: makes every moment of the day supercharged with meaning. That
- 6:27Speaker 7: that's because if everything that you're doing every day is
- 6:31Speaker 7: related to the highest pausible aim that you can conceptualize, well,
- 6:34Speaker 7: that's the very definition of the meaning that would sustain
- 6:37Speaker 7: you in your life.
- 6:39Speaker 5: I believe that those rules can be obliged to almost
- 6:42Speaker 5: anyone and everyone. If you want to excel in whatever
- 6:45Speaker 5: you do, those rules are for you. It's that simple.
- 6:49Speaker 5: So my first rule is find your vision and follow it.
- 6:53Speaker 5: You see, I think it's the most important thing that
- 6:56Speaker 5: we have a very clear vision of where we go,
- 6:58Speaker 5: a goal we go. Because you can have the best
- 7:04Speaker 5: ship in the world, you can have the best cruise lineup,
- 7:08Speaker 5: but if the captain does not know where to go,
- 7:10Speaker 5: that ship will drift around the world and out there
- 7:13Speaker 5: at sea and would never end up anywhere. And this
- 7:16Speaker 5: is exactly the way it is in real life. If
- 7:19Speaker 5: you don't have a goal, if you don't have a vision,
- 7:20Speaker 5: you just drift around. You're not going to be happy.
- 7:23Speaker 5: The simple truth is, if you don't have a vision,
- 7:28Speaker 5: if you don't have a goal, if you don't see
- 7:30Speaker 5: a future laid out in front of you. You're just
- 7:33Speaker 5: floating around without a purpose. And I think that the
- 7:37Speaker 5: numbers speak for themselves. This is why so many people
- 7:40Speaker 5: around the world are unhappy with their jobs. I mean,
- 7:43Speaker 5: in America, seventy four percent of the people hate their
- 7:47Speaker 5: job and would like to change jobs. To think about that,
- 7:50Speaker 5: that means that only a quarter of the Americans love
- 7:53Speaker 5: their life's work. I mean, that is a very depressing statistic.
- 7:58Speaker 5: I always smile when I work, no matter how hard
- 8:01Speaker 5: I worked, I always had a great time no matter
- 8:04Speaker 5: what I did. It didn't matter what was in bodybuilding,
- 8:06Speaker 5: or it was in the movies, or it was as governor.
- 8:09Speaker 5: I remember in the pumping iron days, people ask me
- 8:12Speaker 5: in the gym all the time, why are you smiling
- 8:14Speaker 5: all the time? Why are you so happy? You have
- 8:16Speaker 5: to lift fifty tons of weights, you have to train
- 8:19Speaker 5: five hours a day. I mean, I look at the
- 8:21Speaker 5: other bodybuildings faces and lift us faces, and they look
- 8:25Speaker 5: kind of depressing. They look sour, They're miserable that they
- 8:28Speaker 5: have to lift weights. You don't look miserable. You look happy.
- 8:32Speaker 5: And I tell them always they say, I smile because
- 8:35Speaker 5: I know exactly that every rep that I do, that
- 8:38Speaker 5: every set that I do every weight that I live,
- 8:40Speaker 5: they get one step closer to turning that vision of
- 8:44Speaker 5: mine into reality and becoming that mister universe. I could
- 8:47Speaker 5: not wait to lift another five hundred pounds in the squads.
- 8:51Speaker 5: I could not wait to do another thousand sit ups.
- 8:54Speaker 5: I could not wait to do bench prayers, more bench pras,
- 8:56Speaker 5: and more curls until I couldn't move my arms anymore,
- 8:59Speaker 5: because I knew that every rep got me closer to
- 9:02Speaker 5: standing on that stage as a champion. As a matter
- 9:05Speaker 5: of fact, when I lifted weights, I didn't really feel
- 9:07Speaker 5: like I was lifting weights. I felt like I was
- 9:09Speaker 5: lifting a trophy open my head each time I lifted,
- 9:13Speaker 5: and to have all those bodybuilders around me and thousands
- 9:16Speaker 5: of people screaming. And I tell you that this vision
- 9:23Speaker 5: didn't just help me in bodybuilding, It helped me in everything.
- 9:26Speaker 6: Like I said, focus is the most important quality for success.
- 9:32Speaker 6: If you can focus, you can do anything. If you
- 9:35Speaker 6: can't focus, you must always work for someone else who
- 9:38Speaker 6: will make you focus. Now wonderfully enough, Focusing is like
- 9:41Speaker 6: learning how to ride a bicycle or type with a keyboard.
- 9:44Speaker 6: It's a learnable skill. You can learn to focus by
- 9:47Speaker 6: practicing focus until it becomes automatic. One of the most
- 9:52Speaker 6: valuable exercises you can engage in when setting goals is
- 9:57Speaker 6: to ask yourself, what is my limit step? What is
- 10:01Speaker 6: the one factor that determines the speed at which I
- 10:05Speaker 6: achieve my goal or whether I achieve it at all?
- 10:09Speaker 6: Throughout my personal development? Your ability to identify your limiting
- 10:14Speaker 6: step is one of the best demonstrations of your intelligence
- 10:18Speaker 6: and a step toward building self confidence. Your capacity to
- 10:22Speaker 6: eliminate this limiting step is one of the best demonstrations
- 10:27Speaker 6: of your overall competence in achieving anything you want. In
- 10:32Speaker 6: studying everything that has been written or said about personal
- 10:36Speaker 6: development and success, the conclusion I came to was that
- 10:40Speaker 6: your level of self confidence is probably the critical factor
- 10:44Speaker 6: in everything you accomplish. When you have enough self confidence,
- 10:49Speaker 6: you will try almost anything. Because success is largely a
- 10:53Speaker 6: matter of averages or probabilities, the more things you try,
- 10:57Speaker 6: the more likely it is that you will achieve greatly.
- 11:00Speaker 6: The same is true for you. By setting goals, trying
- 11:04Speaker 6: more things, engaging in more activities, and exploring more opportunities,
- 11:09Speaker 6: your probabilities of success increased dramatically. The only real limiting
- 11:14Speaker 6: step that you might have is your level of self confidence.
- 11:18Speaker 6: When you reach the point at which you believe in
- 11:21Speaker 6: yourself absolutely, the barriers that exist in your external world
- 11:26Speaker 6: will not stop you.
- 11:27Speaker 2: If you want to be a better leader, understand and
- 11:31Speaker 2: then practice these three eyes. Number one inspiration. The job
- 11:36Speaker 2: of a leader really is to inspire other people. If
- 11:39Speaker 2: you look at Steve Jobs, you look at Elon Musk,
- 11:41Speaker 2: you look at Nelson Mandela, you look at Sir Gabrin
- 11:45Speaker 2: of Google. You'll look at a Rembrandt or a Picasso.
- 11:49Speaker 2: These people were incredibly inspired. They were not only incredibly inspired,
- 11:55Speaker 2: they were inspirational to other people. I mean, there's that
- 11:58Speaker 2: incredible story of Steve Jobs, and a lot of people
- 12:01Speaker 2: say Steve Jobs wasn't a nice person. And yet if
- 12:04Speaker 2: you were to pull the former employees of Apple, they
- 12:07Speaker 2: would say, my years at Apple working with Steve Jobs
- 12:10Speaker 2: were the single best years off my entire career. And
- 12:13Speaker 2: you say why, and they say, because he was inspirational.
- 12:17Speaker 2: I mean, when Steve Jobs was a young man or
- 12:20Speaker 2: a young kid, you know, his father said go out
- 12:22Speaker 2: and paint the fence outside of their house, and Steve
- 12:25Speaker 2: Jobs said, no problem. He went out and he started
- 12:27Speaker 2: painting the outside of the fence. A few hours later,
- 12:30Speaker 2: his father comes out and says, Steve, did you paint
- 12:32Speaker 2: the fence. Steve says, I did that. Steve Jobs's father
- 12:36Speaker 2: inspects the fence and he says, Steve, you did a
- 12:39Speaker 2: great job painting the outside of the fence, but you
- 12:41Speaker 2: didn't paint the inside of the fence. And Steve Jobs
- 12:44Speaker 2: looks up at his father and says, but dad, no
- 12:47Speaker 2: one's going to see the inside of the fence. And
- 12:50Speaker 2: his father looks at him and says, but son, we will.
- 12:55Speaker 2: Now it's many decades later and Steve Jobs is running
- 12:58Speaker 2: Apple and they're ready to launch, or ready to develop,
- 13:01Speaker 2: rather the first Apple Macintosh. And he looked at his
- 13:04Speaker 2: design team and he said, here's your deliverable. I want
- 13:07Speaker 2: the outside of the computer to look so simple and
- 13:11Speaker 2: so elegant, like a piece of art. But here's the
- 13:14Speaker 2: real mission. Make the inside so beautiful that it'll bring
- 13:20Speaker 2: tears to our eyes. And his design team looked at
- 13:24Speaker 2: him and said, but Steve, no one's going to see
- 13:25Speaker 2: the inside of the Apple Macintosh. And Steve Jobs looked
- 13:30Speaker 2: at his team and said, but we will. That's inspiration
