  Speaker 1: But imagine, if you will, being on your death bed
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: and standing around your bed the ghost of the dreams,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: the ideas, the abilities, the talents given to you by life.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: But you, for whatever reason, you never pursued those dreams,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: You never acted on those ideas, you never used those gifts,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: you never used those talents. And there they are staring
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: at you as you're lying on your bed with large
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: angry eyes, saying, we came to you only you could
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: have given us life, and now we must die with
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: you forever. And the question is, if you die today,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: what dreams, what talents, what abilities, what gifts, what ideas?
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Would die with you?
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: To know yourself is the greatest gift you can give yourself. Truly,
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: we spend so much time with other people and other
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: things in life, but we never invest any time in
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: getting to know ourselves. When someone wants to meet with
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: you and catch up with you for a coffee or drink,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: you'll make time for them. When was the last time
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: you made time for yourself? How would you know what
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: you want in life if you don't even spend time
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: to get to know yourself. If you have a business,
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: you would spend time to get to know the client,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: find out what the client wants in order to provide
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: the best service for the client.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: So, if you really want to understand what you want
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: in life, if you want to know what you want
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: or what your purpose in life is, you have to
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: spend time with yourself. You have to learn how to concentrate,
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: because if you can't concentrate, you won't be able to
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: sit there long enough and figure out what it is
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: you want in life. And once you know what you
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: want in life, you take that powers of concentration and
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: the finite amount of energy and you focus it into
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: what you want, and that will not to manifest in life.
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: Every one of us, in our own lives, we have
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: to develop what I call the siritual anchor, the rock,
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: the sole compass. And that has nothing to do with religion.
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: When I say to spiritual anchor, it's the spiritual anchor
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: is when we know who we are in relationship to ourselves.
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: We know who we are in relationship to the earth,
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: to one another, to our past, to our future. We
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: know how we are empowered and what our potential is.
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: And once you know that, we then can live our truth.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Human beings that get obsessed and immersed in any topic
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: can become great at it, and so can you. So
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: pick what you want and get laser focused. Begin to
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: eliminate all the distractions. You are not hungry enough, you
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: are not starving enough, and you are not focused enough.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: What are the things that are stealing your focus? Who
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: are the people that are stealing your focus? And begin
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: to eliminate these distractions. Get laser focused and obsessed on
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: what you want. Be starving and hungry to get it.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Tell yourself, I a move then my circumstances, I am
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: more than my demons. I am great, and I will
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: give life, give to the work, because this is what
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I was born to do.
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: So it's not about who you are today. It's about
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: who you want to become and the price you're willing
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: to pay to get there. And I'll promise you the
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: day that you're willing to pay any price, you'll achieve
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: what you want to achieve. If you truly believe that
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: human potential is limitless. What do you want to become
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: and what price are you willing to pay to get there?
• 3:29
  Speaker 7: Don't wait for the perfect timing. The perfect timing is
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: never going to come because there's no such thing as
• 3:33
  Speaker 7: perfect there's never going to be a day where you
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: wake up you're like, this is the perfect day for
• 3:37
  Speaker 7: me to finally change all the things of lined up.
• 3:40
  Speaker 7: My inbox is completely clear, I have nothing to do today,
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: there's no distractions. The kids are finally perfectly on their own.
• 3:48
  Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, my husband or wife is finally perfect
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: on their own. Everybody is healthy around me. Everything is
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: just perfect. The day is sunny and bright, and oh
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: my gosh, look at all this goal that just happened
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: to appear in front of me is not going to
• 3:59
  Speaker 7: happen that You need to say, okay, there is never
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: going to be a perfect time. So you need to
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: set a D day literally a day in which you
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: say that's the day, and then you need to marshal
• 4:11
  Speaker 7: all of your motivation, all of your ability to learn
• 4:14
  Speaker 7: and develop skills as fast as you can before that day.
• 4:16
  Speaker 7: But when that day comes, that's D day. That's the
• 4:18
  Speaker 7: day that you go that's the day that you quit,
• 4:20
  Speaker 7: and that has to be a real date for you
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: and you market on the calendar. That's the day you
• 4:26
  Speaker 7: quit the thing. That's the day you walk out. That's
• 4:29
  Speaker 7: the day that you leave that situation that is not
• 4:31
  Speaker 7: healthy or satisfying or good for you or your soul
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: or the people around you. That you have to have
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: that date. It has to be scheduled, or you'll never
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: do it. You'll just keep saying, oh, you know, one
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: day things are going to be. You know, the people
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: who say one day, they end up at the end
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: with a collection of days that were so far from
• 4:51
  Speaker 7: perfect that they're in a state of misery.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: They never landed in the land of their dreams because
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: they were always marching in something that would miserable to them. Right,
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: at some point, the only way the life changes that
• 5:04
  Speaker 7: you change your course and don't wait for a perfect day.
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: So what's your date?
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: You have to be prepared to take any and every
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: opportunity that's presented to you. All Right, nothing's just going
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: to happen. You know. Everybody say it's all on you.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: It is all on you. There's other people that can
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: educate you and help you. But you take these different
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: experiences that you learn that stick with you. I mean,
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: you may not remember a whole lot when you were
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: four years old, but there's certain memories, there's certain things
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: you can use them to either harness you to greatness
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: or you can use them to kind of just keep
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: you where you're at, and most people are just satisfied
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: with ad There's always a next level. Your definition of
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: greatness and what you want to achieve could be totally
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: different than somebody else's. You know, we always say no
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: one wants to be first, okay, because they're afraid of
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: the consequences that come with doing something first.
• 5:58
  Speaker 8: The people in life get what they want are the
• 6:01
  Speaker 8: ones that aren't waiting for an external force to validate
• 6:05
  Speaker 8: their dreams, to inspire them to give them permission. It's
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: the people that realize that success, that happiness, that control
• 6:13
  Speaker 8: it comes from the internal force. And what is the
• 6:16
  Speaker 8: internal force. It's you.
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: It's you.
• 6:19
  Speaker 8: It's you being able to realize that no one's going
• 6:22
  Speaker 8: to do the work for you. It's you realizing that
• 6:25
  Speaker 8: you're never going to feel ready. In fact, even as
• 6:28
  Speaker 8: you start working toward the things that you really want
• 6:31
  Speaker 8: to do, you're definitely not going to feel ready, and
• 6:33
  Speaker 8: you're going to feel outside your comfort zone.
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: And that's normal.
• 6:37
  Speaker 8: When you start to feel like you're stretching yourself and
• 6:39
  Speaker 8: you're sticking your scrawny neck out there and you're taking
• 6:42
  Speaker 8: some risks, that's amazing because you're growing.
• 6:47
  Speaker 9: It's easy to look at those people who have succeeded
• 6:50
  Speaker 9: and assume that they just got lucky. But invariably behind
• 6:56
  Speaker 9: the facade of overnight success is an unwavering commitment and
• 7:01
  Speaker 9: definiteness of purpose that makes successful people able to do
• 7:05
  Speaker 9: whatever needs to be done in order to achieve their
• 7:08
  Speaker 9: goal of financial prosperity. Whether your dream is to become
• 7:13
  Speaker 9: a famous dancer or to become free of financial worries,
• 7:18
  Speaker 9: you must set that goal as your definite major purpose
• 7:21
  Speaker 9: and refuse to allow anything to pull you from that course.
• 7:25
  Speaker 9: To reinforce the point, consider this, they who have no
• 7:30
  Speaker 9: central purpose in their life fall easy prey to petty worries, fears, troubles,
• 7:36
  Speaker 9: and self pitying, all of which lead just as surely
• 7:39
  Speaker 9: as deliberately planned sins, to failure, unhappiness, and loss. A
• 7:44
  Speaker 9: man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart
• 7:49
  Speaker 9: and set out to accomplish it. He should make this
• 7:51
  Speaker 9: purpose his supreme duty, and should devote himself to its attainment,
• 7:55
  Speaker 9: not allowing his thoughts to its attainment, not allowing his
• 7:58
  Speaker 9: thoughts to wander away into ephemeral offence's longings and imagining
• 8:03
  Speaker 9: erratic action towards your goal will produce an erratic result.
• 8:09
  Speaker 9: Our card reminds us that willpower is about the unflinching
• 8:12
  Speaker 9: purpose to carry a task you set for yourself to fulfillment.
• 8:17
  Speaker 9: If I set for myself a task, be it ever
• 8:21
  Speaker 9: so trifling, I shall see it through. How else shall
• 8:24
  Speaker 9: I have confidence in myself to do important things? What
• 8:28
  Speaker 9: is it that you most want to achieve? Whatever it is,
• 8:32
  Speaker 9: decide your goal and remind yourself of it every day
• 8:35
  Speaker 9: as soon as you wake up. Make everything you do
• 8:38
  Speaker 9: lead to that outcome. Winners are people with definite purpose
• 8:41
  Speaker 9: in that take action. Lack of decision making skills is
• 8:46
  Speaker 9: near the head of the major causes of failure. So
• 8:50
  Speaker 9: if not knowing what your definite major purpose causes obvious
• 8:54
  Speaker 9: challenges toward its attainment, then changing your mind every five
• 8:58
  Speaker 9: minutes about the target comes a pretty close second. After all,
• 9:02
  Speaker 9: how can the invisible forces of the infinite intelligence mobilized
• 9:06
  Speaker 9: to convert emotionalized thought into reality if you keep changing
• 9:10
  Speaker 9: your mind. Procrastination the opposite of decision. The opposite of
• 9:16
  Speaker 9: decision is a common enemy which practically every man must conquer.
• 9:20
  Speaker 9: Procrastination is motivated by shame. People put off tasks, either
• 9:25
  Speaker 9: consciously or unconsciously, because they believe they will experience shame
• 9:30
  Speaker 9: if they complete the task. Perhaps they feel their efforts
• 9:33
  Speaker 9: won't be good enough, or that their position of authority
• 9:37
  Speaker 9: could be questioned if their attempt is unsuccessful. It is
• 9:41
  Speaker 9: therefore safer to procrastinate and blame external sources for a
• 9:47
  Speaker 9: lack of results than to try and have to admit failure.
• 9:52
  Speaker 9: Procrastinators very often see themselves at the top of the mountain,
• 9:57
  Speaker 9: but they don't want to learn how to climb. If
• 10:00
  Speaker 9: it's not fence sitting that's slowing you up, but the
• 10:03
  Speaker 9: inability to make decisions in the first place. It has
• 10:07
  Speaker 9: been thought that those that make decisions quickly are working
• 10:11
  Speaker 9: on some sort of sixth sense, and certainly. However, cognitive
• 10:14
  Speaker 9: psychologist Gary Klean, with his studies into decision making processes
• 10:20
  Speaker 9: in life and death situation, shows there is something less
• 10:24
  Speaker 9: esoteric at play too. He concluded that far from being
• 10:28
  Speaker 9: weighed down by knowledge, information and memories, those with experience
• 10:33
  Speaker 9: in a certain area were able to assess situations and
• 10:36
  Speaker 9: mentally simulate their outcome faster than a numbers could get
• 10:39
  Speaker 9: a notebook out experience and understanding allow decision makers to
• 10:47
  Speaker 9: recognize situations and quickly commit to a course of action
• 10:52
  Speaker 9: based on that extensive knowledge bank. So, building information, knowledge,
• 10:59
  Speaker 9: and experience, and often through failure, is an essential piece
• 11:03
  Speaker 9: of the success puzzle. There is no more miserable human
• 11:06
  Speaker 9: being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision.
• 11:10
  Speaker 9: Your main job in life is to create the mental
• 11:12
  Speaker 9: equivalent within yourself of what you want to realize and
• 11:15
  Speaker 9: enjoy in your outer world. Your focus must be on
• 11:18
  Speaker 9: creating the beliefs within yourself that are consistent with the
• 11:21
  Speaker 9: great success you want to be in your outer world.
• 11:23
  Speaker 9: You achieve this by challenging yourself limiting beliefs, rejecting them,
• 11:29
  Speaker 9: and then acting as if they did not exist. You
• 11:33
  Speaker 9: reinforce the development of new, life enhancing beliefs by increasing
• 11:37
  Speaker 9: your knowledge and skills in your field to the point
• 11:40
  Speaker 9: where you feel equal to any demand or challenge. You
• 11:44
  Speaker 9: accelerate the development of new positive beliefs by setting bigger
• 11:49
  Speaker 9: and more exciting goals in every area. Finally, you act
• 11:53
  Speaker 9: continually as if you were already the person that you
• 11:57
  Speaker 9: desire to be. Your aim is to reap program your
• 12:00
  Speaker 9: subconscious mind for success by creating the mental equivalent in
• 12:05
  Speaker 9: everything you do or say, behave consistent with your new
• 12:09
  Speaker 9: self image. You develop new beliefs by taking actions consistent
• 12:14
  Speaker 9: with those beliefs. You act as if you already believe
• 12:18
  Speaker 9: that you have these capabilities and competencies. You behave like
• 12:22
  Speaker 9: a positive, optimistic, and cheerful person toward everyone. You act
• 12:27
  Speaker 9: as if your success were already guaranteed. You act as
• 12:31
  Speaker 9: if you have a secret guarantee of success and only
• 12:33
  Speaker 9: you know about it. You realize that you are developing,
• 12:37
  Speaker 9: shaping and controlling the evolution of your own character and
• 12:41
  Speaker 9: personality by everything that you do and say every single day.
• 12:45
  Speaker 9: Since you become what you think about. You should only
• 12:49
  Speaker 9: say and do those things that are consistent with your
• 12:53
  Speaker 9: self ideal, the person you most aspire to be in
• 12:57
  Speaker 9: your long term future ideal. You should only think and
• 13:01
  Speaker 9: talk about the things that are moving you toward becoming
• 13:06
  Speaker 9: the person you want to be and toward achieving the
• 13:09
  Speaker 9: goals that you want to achieve the goal. Keep your
• 13:13
  Speaker 9: words and actions consistent. Your beliefs are always manifested in
• 13:17
  Speaker 9: your words and actions. Make sure that everything you say
• 13:20
  Speaker 9: and do from now on is consistent with the beliefs
• 13:23
  Speaker 9: that you want to have and the person that you
• 13:25
  Speaker 9: want to become. In time, you will replace more and
• 13:29
  Speaker 9: more of your self limiting beliefs with life enhancing beliefs.
• 13:35
  Speaker 9: Over time, you will completely reprogram yourself for success. When
• 13:40
  Speaker 9: this occurs, the transformation that takes place in your outer
• 13:44
  Speaker 9: life will amaze you and all the people around you.
