- 0:38Speaker 2: Because you don't know who you are and what you want.
- 0:41Speaker 2: If you're gonna do it, do it.
- 0:46Speaker 4: Say what you can do, do what you say you
- 0:49Speaker 4: can't do it, don't say you can do it. Don't
- 0:51Speaker 4: overleverage yourself. Don't overleverage your decision, and then jump in
- 0:54Speaker 4: and kind of dip a toe. I think I'll try
- 0:56Speaker 4: it out now. Think if you're gonna try it out beforehand,

- 1:07Speaker 4: night finding out and looking in the mirror and going
- 1:12Speaker 4: I didn't have ascid.
- 1:13Speaker 5: I went all the way I found out.

- 1:24Speaker 7: my head or said I smelled, it urts, but it
- 1:28Speaker 7: could never hurt more than it did.
- 1:30Speaker 2: Every day of my life just being me.
- 1:34Speaker 8: I stayed because I thought if anyone could change me,
- 1:38Speaker 8: could make me not me, it was.
- 1:42Speaker 2: You, guys.
- 1:43Speaker 6: You had a time to become a good fighter, and
- 1:46Speaker 6: instead of that, you began my leg quit some cheat,
- 1:50Speaker 6: second rate lodestime.
- 1:52Speaker 2: It's a living, it's a waste slight.
- 1:58Speaker 6: You know.
- 2:00Speaker 9: Sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of it saying courage,
- 2:05Speaker 9: Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery, and I
- 2:11Speaker 9: promise you.
- 2:13Speaker 10: Something great will come of it. You're born with a gift.
- 2:19Speaker 10: If not that, then you get good at something along
- 2:22Speaker 10: the way. And what you're good at you don't take
- 2:26Speaker 10: for granted, you don't portray it.
- 2:30Speaker 5: What if you do betray your gift and you betray yourself?
- 2:35Speaker 11: And he'd lost his father earlier in the week, literally
- 2:38Speaker 11: forty eight hours later, he was in the car.
- 2:40Speaker 12: Yeah, what was it like racing that year? Having to
- 2:43Speaker 12: show up again now where you don't have the.
- 2:44Speaker 13: Person who believes in your loves and drinks and what
- 2:47Speaker 13: would that man?
- 2:48Speaker 14: I don't know.
- 2:48Speaker 2: It was on the Tuesday of Baku.
- 2:51Speaker 15: As soon as he passed away, I asked myself what
- 2:54Speaker 15: would he wants me to do?
- 2:56Speaker 5: And I had no doubts. I mean, there was only
- 2:59Speaker 5: one answhere this was a.
- 3:00Speaker 11: Kid who just lost his father, and he was a
- 3:02Speaker 11: kid at the time. He's a teenager. It's at that
- 3:05Speaker 11: kind of mental strength. I've never seen anything like it.
- 3:09Speaker 11: He then went out, fell to the last place, fall
- 3:11Speaker 11: his way through from one place, tapes.
- 3:15Speaker 16: The lease, please past absolutely everyone to get himself back
- 3:19Speaker 16: to the row.
- 3:20Speaker 17: Yet yet.
- 3:25Speaker 12: When Gretz you said, in a brilliant way, you miss
- 3:27Speaker 12: one hundred percent of the shot.
- 3:29Speaker 18: You don't take one often meets his this and the
- 3:33Speaker 18: under road he takes to avoid it.
- 3:36Speaker 5: Your mind is like this water, my friend.
- 3:38Speaker 19: When it is agitated, it becomes difficult to see.
- 3:42Speaker 5: But if you allow it to settle, it lenswer becomes clear.
- 3:48Speaker 20: You just got to quick trip it while you're in
- 3:51Speaker 20: the process, because the process is necessary. You may not
- 3:55Speaker 20: see it now, but when he gets you on the
- 3:57Speaker 20: other side of it, you don't see exactly why weren't
- 4:00Speaker 20: that way, And you're gonna.
- 4:01Speaker 2: Be okay with it.
- 4:02Speaker 20: Putting your strategy and your plan of action, continuously looking
- 4:06Speaker 20: for ways to win.
- 4:09Speaker 9: When will I know I'm ready?
- 4:13Speaker 2: You won't.
- 4:17Speaker 5: That's all it is, miles a leap of faith.
- 4:26Speaker 6: So now you gotta ask yourself.
- 4:28Speaker 5: Are you here to proof something to other people? Or
- 4:33Speaker 5: proof something to yourself?
- 4:38Speaker 21: Until you win? If it always goes and noticed, get
- 4:41Speaker 21: used to it. No one roots for you until everyone
- 4:44Speaker 21: roots for you. That's just how it works.
- 4:48Speaker 2: What you set me up to fail?
- 4:50Speaker 22: Why if you only do what you can do, you
- 4:53Speaker 22: will never be more than you are now.
- 4:57Speaker 21: The only insults that hurt the ones we believe. Next
- 5:02Speaker 21: time someone insults you, remember they're going to die. Everyone
- 5:05Speaker 21: will forget about them. And if no one will remember them,
- 5:08Speaker 21: then you might as well forget about them now. They
- 5:11Speaker 21: are irrelevant. Your dream your actions, your outcomes. You cannot
- 5:16Speaker 21: wish for a strong character and an easy life. Each
- 5:19Speaker 21: is the price of the other. What if what you're
- 5:21Speaker 21: going through isn't hard? What if you're just sensitive?
- 5:27Speaker 23: List all the things that you aren't willing to give
- 5:29Speaker 23: up for the dreams that you have, and that is
- 5:32Speaker 23: what the person.
- 5:33Speaker 5: Who will beat you is willing to give up. You
- 5:36Speaker 5: know what your problem is. You're smart too smart.
- 5:41Speaker 24: You overthink because your mind moves at a million miles
- 5:44Speaker 24: a minute. You're sad because you're not fooled by the
- 5:48Speaker 24: world like everyone else. You don't get along with most
- 5:51Speaker 24: people because they just don't look at things.
- 5:54Speaker 5: The way you do.
- 5:56Speaker 24: You think you're dumb because you're smart enough to know
- 5:59Speaker 24: you don't know everything.
- 6:01Speaker 5: Your problem is you're too smart.
- 6:04Speaker 24: And happiness and intelligent people is one of the rarest
- 6:08Speaker 24: things I know.
- 6:10Speaker 21: People want to find that passion, but you don't find it.
- 6:13Speaker 21: You create it, and you create it by getting good
- 6:16Speaker 21: at something. And to get good at stuff, you start
- 6:18Speaker 21: by doing something you suck at, then you get good,
- 6:22Speaker 21: then you like it. Then people ask how you found
- 6:25Speaker 21: your passion. Answer by starting when you sucked and not
- 6:28Speaker 21: giving up.
- 6:31Speaker 25: Have you ever thought that I want more from life
- 6:33Speaker 25: than a nice apartment in a job serving tea?
- 6:35Speaker 19: There's nothing wrong with a life of peace and prosperity.
- 6:39Speaker 19: I suggest you think about what it is that you
- 6:42Speaker 19: want from your life and.
- 6:44Speaker 2: Why I want my destiny. What that means is up
- 6:49Speaker 2: to you.
- 6:52Speaker 14: Here's bubble verse. I think about sometimes many times it goes.
- 7:02Speaker 14: Then I heard the voice Lord saying, who shall I send?
- 7:07Speaker 14: And who will go for us? And I said, here,
- 7:23Speaker 14: am I.
- 7:26Speaker 5: Send me.
- 7:29Speaker 2: When I have my accident.
- 7:33Speaker 26: I found out at that moment nothing in life is
- 7:36Speaker 26: promised except death.
- 7:41Speaker 8: If you have the opportunity to play this game of.
- 7:44Speaker 27: Life, you need to appreciate every moment. A lot of
- 7:49Speaker 27: people don't appreciate that moment until it's passed.
- 7:55Speaker 21: Well, if you can be in a bad mood for
- 7:59Speaker 21: no reason, you might as well be in a good
- 8:02Speaker 21: mood for no reason. If it's not going to change
- 8:04Speaker 21: your life, it shouldn't change your mood. If the cost
- 8:07Speaker 21: is peace of mind, don't buy it.
- 8:11Speaker 16: I'll ever pass up an opportunity to be of encouragement
- 8:13Speaker 16: to other people. Don't ever pass up an opportunity to
- 8:16Speaker 16: inspire someone. Who ever pass up an opportunity to empower someone,
- 8:19Speaker 16: Who'll ever pass.
- 8:20Speaker 2: Up an opportunity to show someone love.
- 8:22Speaker 16: Because the thing about it my room, like you can
- 8:24Speaker 16: see this, you can see my arm, my wound is visible,
- 8:32Speaker 16: but it's a lot of people in this room that
- 8:34Speaker 16: are wounded and you can't see it.
- 8:37Speaker 28: And it's in turn, hard work actually works, and with
- 8:44Speaker 28: virtually everything, it might not make you the best at
- 8:48Speaker 28: whatever it is you're pursuing, but it will certainly make
- 8:50Speaker 28: you better than you are.
- 8:52Speaker 21: I've found great to fulfillment in the journey of pursuing
- 8:55Speaker 21: my goals than in the moment of achieving them.
- 8:59Speaker 6: So you're true a little special all. You're gonna know
- 9:02Speaker 6: that in good time with it right, and I ain't
- 9:04Speaker 6: gonna come overnight. You're gonna take be take this. You're
- 9:07Speaker 6: to get knocked at. You got to get up and
- 9:09Speaker 6: you're gonna see if you got the right thing. But
- 9:12Speaker 6: you gotta work hard. I short of God. If you're
- 9:15Speaker 6: not going to do it, I'm out.
- 9:19Speaker 29: Cany punch you ever throw has been my mom might
- 9:22Speaker 29: showed me how to do this.
- 9:25Speaker 10: I'm ready.
- 9:28Speaker 2: Well, it's to be unyielding, you know, you never give
- 9:31Speaker 2: an inch to anything.
- 9:32Speaker 27: Like you're always going after it, always going after, always
- 9:35Speaker 27: going after it. And if there's a challenge that ensues,
- 9:38Speaker 27: oh good, I want to see how I stack up
- 9:40Speaker 27: to that. So you go after you go after it,
- 9:42Speaker 27: and it's just it's fun. It's like you get a
- 9:44Speaker 27: chance to compete against opponents and you get a chance
- 9:48Speaker 27: to see where you.
- 9:49Speaker 2: Stack up against them.
- 9:51Speaker 27: It's like I want to see you.
- 9:52Speaker 14: Maybe I'm not good enough today.
- 9:53Speaker 27: If that that's fine, I'll be good enough the next
- 9:56Speaker 27: time I see you, though, you know, and you get
- 9:58Speaker 27: a chance to always measure yourself. So I guess that's
- 10:01Speaker 27: where relentlessness comes from.
- 10:03Speaker 15: I wanted to read you a quote from twenty thirteen
- 10:06Speaker 15: that you said, I've.
- 10:07Speaker 28: Lost my mind on this game.
- 10:09Speaker 15: Like Vince Ivanka dedicated his life to his art and
- 10:13Speaker 15: he lost his mind in the process.
- 10:14Speaker 5: That's happened to me.
- 10:16Speaker 26: But that gold belts around my waist. My mother has
- 10:21Speaker 26: a big manager. My girl ran as I did my
- 10:25Speaker 26: car for every day of a week. My kids kids
- 10:28Speaker 26: have everything they ever want. Then I'll pay then ipy,
- 10:34Speaker 26: then I'm happy.
- 10:34Speaker 21: I lost last night.
- 10:35Speaker 30: Mind.
- 10:36Speaker 5: How did you get good at this?
- 10:40Speaker 15: Honestly, I made a lot of mistakes.
- 10:43Speaker 2: That's the secret.
- 10:44Speaker 15: Just there might be in I think as I started early,
- 10:51Speaker 15: I got my skill set up really quick, and then
- 10:54Speaker 15: started to feel like I was really the best. You know,
- 10:57Speaker 15: I got all these really good places. I really was
- 10:59Speaker 15: the best cook. And then I started at this really
- 11:02Speaker 15: great place as a comedy and this other chef started
- 11:07Speaker 15: in days and I thought we were competition.
- 11:12Speaker 21: But really we weren't. He was better than me much
- 11:16Speaker 21: much better than me.
- 11:18Speaker 15: He worked harder and faster, and it was the first
- 11:23Speaker 15: time I realized that I wasn't the best. So I
- 11:28Speaker 15: started looking at it like it was a good thing,
- 11:30Speaker 15: Like at least I knew who the best was now
- 11:32Speaker 15: and I could take that pressure off myself. And the
- 11:35Speaker 15: onlyological thing to do was to try and keep up
- 11:36Speaker 15: with him. So I never left this guy's side. And
- 11:41Speaker 15: you get better, oh mate, I got better than I
- 11:45Speaker 15: ever thought I possibly could be, just trying to keep
- 11:47Speaker 15: up with him.
- 11:50Speaker 27: Never say never, because limits, like fears are often just
- 11:56Speaker 27: an n.
- 11:56Speaker 18: Loser because we know that it's not easy. But no pain,
- 12:05Speaker 18: no gain, not even coming from the showing temple worldwide.
- 12:09Speaker 18: Know that sentence. Everything that hurts you find a way
- 12:18Speaker 18: to overcome it. Everything that you feel is difficult for you,
- 12:26Speaker 18: find a way to still do it.
- 12:30Speaker 27: There's a choice that we have to make as people,
- 12:34Speaker 27: as individuals. If you want to be great at something
- 12:36Speaker 27: is a choice that you have to make. We all
- 12:39Speaker 27: can be masters at our craft, but you have to
- 12:43Speaker 27: make a choice.
- 12:44Speaker 5: What I mean by that is.
- 12:47Speaker 27: Inherent sacrifices that come along with that. I knew that
- 12:51Speaker 27: I was not going to be stopped, you know, set
- 12:53Speaker 27: the age of eighteen. This was my life, right, So
- 12:59Speaker 27: you can't possibly become better than me because you're not
- 13:03Speaker 27: spending the time on it that I do. Even if
- 13:05Speaker 27: you want to spend the time when it, you can't
- 13:08Speaker 27: because you have other things, you have other responsibilities that
- 13:11Speaker 27: are taking you away from it.
- 13:14Speaker 2: So I already won.
- 13:16Speaker 3: So it's not the car, the house, or whatever. It
- 13:18Speaker 3: is that internal gold, that internal why. And so for me,
- 13:22Speaker 3: I just think that's it like that like you, Ah,
- 13:26Speaker 3: it's just it's something within it. You gotta pull it out.
- 13:28Speaker 3: And so it's easy when you have a why, a purpose.
- 13:31Speaker 3: I'm doing it for this, I'm doing it for that.
- 13:33Speaker 3: It's easy to get up and get going. But it's
- 13:34Speaker 3: just for a car. What happens when you get the
- 13:37Speaker 3: car because you can buy it. What happens when you
- 13:39Speaker 3: get the house and you can buy the house.
- 13:41Speaker 31: Because I think any person, any human, realizes that if
- 13:45Speaker 31: you want some kind of a good outcome, you're going
- 13:47Speaker 31: to have to work hard for it.
- 13:49Speaker 2: And if you then, if you.
- 13:51Speaker 31: Don't work hard for something, you're not going to get
- 13:53Speaker 31: an outcome that's really worth much. There's things that you
- 13:57Speaker 31: can control, there's things you can't control. Now, I will
- 14:00Speaker 31: tell you that human beings can control a lot more
- 14:02Speaker 31: than they think they can. And oftentimes it's pretty easy
- 14:07Speaker 31: just to say, oh, that's not me, that's not on me.
- 14:09Speaker 31: And I think that's the whole genesis of the idea
- 14:13Speaker 31: of extreme ownership is most of the time or much
- 14:16Speaker 31: of the time, people say.
- 14:17Speaker 2: That's not my fault.
- 14:18Speaker 31: There's nothing I can do about that, And more often
- 14:22Speaker 31: than people think, there is something you can do about it,
- 14:25Speaker 31: and it is your fault.
- 14:27Speaker 21: It's normal to not know what you're doing. If you did,
- 14:31Speaker 21: it wouldn't be called growth. High five your fear, uncertainty
- 14:34Speaker 21: and doubt and carry on. Do you get tired, stressed, sad, hungry,
- 14:39Speaker 21: frustrated and focused? Do you feel misunderstood? Great, you're human.
- 14:45Speaker 21: You don't need medication.
- 14:47Speaker 2: It is hard.
- 14:50Speaker 32: It's hard when you're young to wake up in the
- 14:53Speaker 32: off season at six am to go train and work out,
- 14:56Speaker 32: knowing that all your friends are sleeping in and eating pancakes.
- 15:00Speaker 32: It's hard when you're on your way to practice way
- 15:03Speaker 32: down with all your gear and it's ninety degrees out
- 15:06Speaker 32: and all the other kids are at the pool or
- 15:08Speaker 32: at the beach, and your body is already completely exhausted
- 15:12Speaker 32: for workouts in two a days.
- 15:14Speaker 2: It's hard to throw.
- 15:16Speaker 32: Catch, block, and tackle and hit kids when they're way bigger,
- 15:20Speaker 32: it's way more developed than you. Only to go home
- 15:22Speaker 32: that night bruised and battered and straight, but no one.
- 15:25Speaker 32: You have to show up again the next day for
- 15:28Speaker 32: just the chance to try again.
- 15:31Speaker 2: But understand, this life is hard.
- 15:37Speaker 33: You're not good enough. If you quit, you're gonna quit
- 15:40Speaker 33: everything hard in your life. And that's a big problem
- 15:43Speaker 33: for you.
- 15:44Speaker 21: People delay doing things that they don't like for longer
- 15:47Speaker 21: than it takes to do them.
- 15:49Speaker 23: Yeah, we need to be reminded more than we need
- 15:51Speaker 23: to be taught.
- 15:52Speaker 21: Bad things don't come in threes. Bad things happen. People
- 15:57Speaker 21: don't know how to cope, and they allow one bad
- 15:59Speaker 21: thing to no ball into more bad stuff. Sucks. The
- 16:02Speaker 21: only thing worse is letting one bad thing ruin many
- 16:06Speaker 21: good things.
- 16:07Speaker 13: So when I was growing up for like three years,
- 16:09Speaker 13: so from time I was eight to time I was
- 16:11Speaker 13: like twelve, we live in a seven dollars a month place.
- 16:14Speaker 13: And what I call it is I'm always paying rent
- 16:17Speaker 13: in that seven dollars a month home.
- 16:20Speaker 2: Every day of my life. I go back and revisit
- 16:22Speaker 2: that place.
- 16:23Speaker 13: That place made me this garanimal, that place made me
- 16:27Speaker 13: this hard man.
- 16:28Speaker 12: And then from that place, so that place.
- 16:31Speaker 2: Is hard work.
- 16:32Speaker 13: That place is going back to the fundamentals of life,
- 16:35Speaker 13: the fundamentals what made David Gagas David Gagas, going back
- 16:38Speaker 13: in there, going back to the going back to the
- 16:40Speaker 13: library of David Gaggins, studying even more than what I know,
- 16:44Speaker 13: taking that out, going back to where I'm at now,
- 16:46Speaker 13: and then moving forward.
- 16:48Speaker 34: Difficult things make regular life less difficult because regular life
- 16:53Speaker 34: can be confusing, and little things that go wrong and
- 16:57Speaker 34: little problems that arise are exacerbated by the fact that
- 17:00Speaker 34: you're not accustomed to dealing with hardship.
- 17:02Speaker 8: But it was still a kid with a dream, and
- 17:04Speaker 8: I believe in himself, and for many times I was laughed.
- 17:08Speaker 8: I not believed in But you know what, nothing external
- 17:11Speaker 8: can defeat the internal. The only thing that can take
- 17:14Speaker 8: someone down and break you down is internal.
- 17:16Speaker 2: Nothing external is strong enough.
- 17:18Speaker 8: It's just about making sure your internal dialogue and your
- 17:21Speaker 8: internal belief in yourself is strong enough that it can
- 17:23Speaker 8: withstand the external. The external is there, you've got to
- 17:26Speaker 8: accept it, You've got to embrace it. You've got to
- 17:28Speaker 8: understand it and be aware of it, but don't let
- 17:30Speaker 8: it seep into you, into your internal dialogue.
- 17:34Speaker 23: I think the more, at least for me, the more
- 17:37Speaker 23: I've tried to create space between how I feel and
- 17:40Speaker 23: what I do, the more consistent my outcomes have been.
- 17:46Speaker 35: Embrace the process, you say, Dinge Walt, process life, life,
- 17:53Speaker 35: Embrace the journey and the process of life. You only
- 17:58Speaker 35: get stronger.
- 17:59Speaker 2: Hiken by going on appeal.
- 18:01Speaker 35: Nobody gets stronger Hiking by just going downhill.
- 18:05Speaker 2: Because you're probably in the bed right now.
- 18:07Speaker 12: You're probably an underachiever.
- 18:09Speaker 13: You're probably somebody who doesn't want to do anything.
- 18:13Speaker 5: With your life.
- 18:14Speaker 2: People should stop complaining right. People should figure out.
- 18:17Speaker 21: Who the fuck they are.
- 18:19Speaker 25: People should not listen to America propaganda of fixing the
- 18:23Speaker 25: shit they suck at. They should be tripling down at
- 18:25Speaker 25: what they're good at. They should be competent in certain areas.
- 18:29Speaker 25: But you're not gonna become Beyonce or you know, like
- 18:33Speaker 25: your bone structure is a certain way, Like you're not
- 18:36Speaker 25: gonna solve everything. You're iq can get a little bit better,
- 18:39Speaker 25: but don't worry about the incremental.
- 18:41Speaker 2: Figure out what you put you on fire.
- 18:44Speaker 25: And you're halfway decent at if you're lucky enough right
- 18:46Speaker 25: now to be listening, and you're good at what you like,
- 18:50Speaker 25: become tunnel vision because there's way too many voices telling
- 18:54Speaker 25: you what and how. The reason most people who are
- 18:58Speaker 25: listening right now are not doing that thing is they're worried.
- 19:01Speaker 21: About the opinion of somebody.
- 19:03Speaker 25: And the reality is, we have to get to a
- 19:05Speaker 25: place where you're doing you because the number one thing
- 19:08Speaker 25: that scares.
- 19:09Speaker 2: The fight out of me is regret.
- 19:11Speaker 21: The Lonely chapter describes a time in which you're growing,
- 19:16Speaker 21: you're changing as a person, and you're now so different
- 19:20Speaker 21: that you can no longer resonate with your old set
- 19:22Speaker 21: of friends, but you're not sufficiently developed that you've got
- 19:25Speaker 21: the new set of friends that you're going to grow into.
- 19:28Speaker 21: And this is the lonely chapter. And the problem with
- 19:30Speaker 21: it is that you're always the desire to sort of
- 19:35Speaker 21: regress back to where you are is always going to
- 19:36Speaker 21: be there, and you're going to have You're going to
- 19:39Speaker 21: have uncertainty. There's not even the promise of glory or
- 19:42Speaker 21: success or triumph when you get through the other side.
- 19:45Speaker 21: What am I pushing toward? You know, you're telling me
- 19:47Speaker 21: that I'm not going to go out on this night
- 19:49Speaker 21: out with my friends, which I've done for the last
- 19:51Speaker 21: five years or ten years in the town that I
- 19:53Speaker 21: grew up in or went to university in or whatever.
- 19:55Speaker 21: Are you telling me that I'm not going to do
- 19:56Speaker 21: that because I'm going to get up and I'm going
- 19:58Speaker 21: to meditate or re Who even knows if meditation works? Right?
- 20:02Speaker 21: Like you go, all of these questions in your mind
- 20:03Speaker 21: and all of your friends and all of the dynamics
- 20:07Speaker 21: and the temptations pull you back toward that. It pulls
- 20:10Speaker 21: you back toward the old version of life. Just lock
- 20:17Speaker 21: on me for six months.
- 20:19Speaker 2: Please, I really want you to be great.
- 20:22Speaker 36: You got me, I got you, We all we got you.
- 20:26Speaker 5: See what happens.
- 20:28Speaker 36: It's so easy to clear, bro, that's what everyone's doing,
- 20:32Speaker 36: and we're not trying to be like everybody else.
- 20:35Speaker 21: Can't progress in life without progressing.
- 20:37Speaker 5: Let it go over your head.
- 20:39Speaker 36: You can't progress in the grand scheme of life if
- 20:41Speaker 36: you don't progress in your everyday life. If you don't
- 20:43Speaker 36: try to take a step to be better, your overall
- 20:45Speaker 36: life won't be better.
- 20:47Speaker 21: If you put your head down and lock it on
- 20:49Speaker 21: the vision.
- 20:49Speaker 2: How could you not win.
- 20:51Speaker 36: Only thing that's going to cause you to lose your
- 20:52Speaker 36: own mentality.
- 20:54Speaker 21: Why I hate being around negative people. Being an asshole
- 20:58Speaker 21: is a weak person's idea of stress. Complaining is their connection.
- 21:02Speaker 21: Never let yourself be held back by other people's fears.
- 21:05Speaker 21: People criticize what they were afraid to do themselves because
- 21:08Speaker 21: bold action reminds them of their own inaction. If you're
- 21:12Speaker 21: afraid to be criticized, why do you care about the
- 21:15Speaker 21: opinions of those who are too timid to do it themselves.
- 21:18Speaker 21: If you are the criticizer, does tearing down someone who
- 21:21Speaker 21: has the courage you lack make you better?
- 21:25Speaker 37: You give a whole life in front of you. You
- 21:27Speaker 37: have years to take part in this life and to
- 21:30Speaker 37: do stuff. You do, pomp the stuff and do enjoy stuff.
- 21:34Speaker 37: I think about that I was twenty two again, and
- 21:37Speaker 37: God said, hey, huh, I'll make you twenty two again. Okay,
- 21:41Speaker 37: just do something different. Wow, oh my god.
- 21:45Speaker 5: I'd be like a professional golfer this time, even though
- 21:47Speaker 5: I can't. I lous your call. They stick a carbo.
- 21:50Speaker 15: I would do.
- 21:50Speaker 37: Something that I think in my brain I could never do,
- 21:54Speaker 37: which was body gooding.
- 21:55Speaker 5: All one time I thought I could never do this.
- 21:57Speaker 5: You know it's too Insmatle, it's too crazy. But something
- 22:00Speaker 5: back in my mind and we said, do it, do it,
- 22:02Speaker 5: do it?
- 22:03Speaker 27: Do it.
- 22:03Speaker 38: Hey, When you get out of bed, life standing right
- 22:05Speaker 38: there to kick you in the face. Man, could be anything,
- 22:09Speaker 38: could be. You get up and you walk downstairs. You
- 22:11Speaker 38: got a flat tire and you're late for work, and
- 22:13Speaker 38: you got this and that life is going to throw
- 22:15Speaker 38: all kinds of crazy you right, and you have to
- 22:19Speaker 38: be ready for it, and you got to deal with it.
- 22:21Speaker 38: You can't curl up into a ball. You can't run
- 22:23Speaker 38: away from it, you can't hide. You have to take
- 22:25Speaker 38: all this head on.
- 22:27Speaker 21: So this Lonely chapter is a period through which I
- 22:30Speaker 21: think everybody needs to squeeze. Anybody that decides to go
- 22:34Speaker 21: from a place they want to a place that they
- 22:36Speaker 21: want to be, it's going to have to let go
- 22:38Speaker 21: of people who can't go there with them. It's that
- 22:43Speaker 21: if you know that there is something that you're meant
- 22:45Speaker 21: to do, if you know that there's something that you're
- 22:46Speaker 21: meant to change, you will have to let sudden groups, friends, routines, places, activities,
- 22:57Speaker 21: recreations that you do. You're going to have to let
- 22:59Speaker 21: those go and there is this you know, the rocky
- 23:01Speaker 21: cut scene lasts for ninety seconds in the movie, but
- 23:03Speaker 21: it can last for five years in your life and
- 23:05Speaker 21: you have no idea whether or not it's even going
- 23:08Speaker 21: to work. And that's the bit that always got to me.
- 23:10Speaker 21: The bit that always got to me was I didn't
- 23:12Speaker 21: even know if it was there was going to be
- 23:14Speaker 21: any glory on the other side. It's like you think, well,
- 23:16Speaker 21: I'm just study here doing the thing, but I don't
- 23:19Speaker 21: know if it's going to come out on the other side.
- 23:20Speaker 21: And I can promise you anybody that has done anything,
- 23:23Speaker 21: moved from any place they were to any place that
- 23:25Speaker 21: they want to be, has gone through this lonely chapter.
- 23:28Speaker 29: I think you just got to work up one day
- 23:30Speaker 29: and just say, so what, who cares? Even don't believe
- 23:33Speaker 29: in me? I believe in myself. You don't put too
- 23:36Speaker 29: much work to not have this amount of confidence. Yeah,
- 23:39Speaker 29: if you don't believe in me doesn't changed my success store.
- 23:42Speaker 5: I'm still going to win.
- 23:44Speaker 29: But I guess one thing I got to say is
- 23:47Speaker 29: let me know when that Hey starts making you money.
- 23:49Speaker 23: You may be right that other people did certain things,
- 23:53Speaker 23: or you got delta bad hand It also doesn't matter
- 23:56Speaker 23: because the only thing that you can't control is the
- 24:00Speaker 23: actions that you take, and the only person who's in
- 24:02Speaker 23: control of that is you.
- 24:05Speaker 7: Nobody is going to understand you, bro, And it's like,
- 24:08Speaker 7: I really realize nobody ever believed in me, Like you
- 24:12Speaker 7: have to believe in yourself. If nobody else is going
- 24:14Speaker 7: to understand, then you have to make sure that you
- 24:18Speaker 7: understand and that you believe in yourself, because that's where
- 24:22Speaker 7: it starts.
- 24:24Speaker 21: Control freak is a word people with low standards use
- 24:27Speaker 21: to describe people with high standards. You're not a control freak.
- 24:31Speaker 21: You just want it done right the first time. You're
- 24:34Speaker 21: not anxious, you care. Do not expect mediocre people to
- 24:39Speaker 21: support world class goals.
- 24:42Speaker 39: If if you go visit the darkness that you've been
- 24:47Speaker 39: running from, you'll have the opportunity to leave a better person.
- 24:53Speaker 39: You'll have a better understanding of yourself, you have a
- 24:55Speaker 39: better understanding of your purpose. But if you don't take
- 25:00Speaker 39: that trip and the darkness comes visits you, it's a
- 25:04Speaker 39: guest that will never leave.
- 25:07Speaker 40: You're playing against the Golden State Warriors. Score is one
- 25:11Speaker 40: oh seven, one oh nine. You guys are close to
- 25:15Speaker 40: getting into the playoffs. You know exactly what happens in
- 25:18Speaker 40: the game. You go up, you're about to take your shot,
- 25:21Speaker 40: and an all of a sudden bone Achilles happens.
- 25:24Speaker 2: Why and again going to work falls down?
- 25:28Speaker 17: Yeah, he's struggling. Right after you're injured, he went on
- 25:32Speaker 17: Facebook and you posted a lengthy block.
- 25:35Speaker 2: You know what this is?
- 25:36Speaker 17: Oh yeah, this is such bs. All the training and
- 25:39Speaker 17: sacrifice just flew out the window with one step that
- 25:42Speaker 17: I've done millions of times. The frustration is unbearable, anger
- 25:46Speaker 17: is raged. Why the hell did this happen? It makes
- 25:48Speaker 17: no damn sense. Now I'm supposed to come back from
- 25:50Speaker 17: this and be the same player or better at thirty five.
- 25:53Speaker 17: How in the world am I supposed to do that?
- 25:55Speaker 17: I have no clue. Do I have the consistent will
- 25:58Speaker 17: to overcome this thing? Maybe I should break out the
- 26:01Speaker 17: rocking chair and reminisce on the career that was. Maybe
- 26:03Speaker 17: this is how my book ends. Maybe father time has
- 26:07Speaker 17: defeated me. Then again, maybe not.
- 26:10Speaker 2: It's three thirty am.
- 26:11Speaker 17: My foot feels like dead weight, my head is spinning
- 26:14Speaker 17: from the pain meds, and I'm wide awake. Forgive my venting,
- 26:17Speaker 17: But what's the purpose of social media, if I won't
- 26:19Speaker 17: bring it to you real, no image feels good to vent,
- 26:22Speaker 17: to let it out, to feel as if this is
- 26:25Speaker 17: the worst thing ever, because after all the venting, the
- 26:29Speaker 17: real perspective sets in.
- 26:30Speaker 2: There are far.
- 26:31Speaker 17: Greater issues and challenges in the world than a torn Achilles.
- 26:34Speaker 17: Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining, and
- 26:37Speaker 17: get to work with the same belief, same drive, and
- 26:40Speaker 17: same conviction as ever. One day the beginning of a
- 26:44Speaker 17: new career journey will commence.
- 26:46Speaker 2: Today is not that day. If you see me in.
- 26:49Speaker 17: A fight with a bear, pray for the bear. I've
- 26:53Speaker 17: always loved that quote. That's Mamba mentality. We don't quit,
- 26:56Speaker 17: we don't cower, we don't run.
- 26:58Speaker 2: It's hurt it.
- 26:59Speaker 33: But the Lakers down by two, and they want them
- 27:01Speaker 33: and need them at the free throw line?
- 27:04Speaker 2: Got it?
- 27:08Speaker 33: Yeah?
- 27:09Speaker 40: How the hell do you tolerate that kind of pain?
- 27:12Speaker 27: I use this, I tell you this example, and I
- 27:15Speaker 27: think this is the best way to explain it. Your
- 27:17Speaker 27: kids are upstairs, you know, wife is wherever she may be.
- 27:22Speaker 27: You know it's going down all right. I'm willing to
- 27:27Speaker 27: bet that you're going to forget about your hamshrnk. You're
- 27:29Speaker 27: gonna sprint upstairs.
- 27:31Speaker 2: You're gonna grab your kids. You go make sure your
- 27:33Speaker 2: wife's good. You're getting out of that house.
- 27:35Speaker 27: Right, hamstring be damn, you're not gonna fill your hamshrink.
- 27:39Speaker 2: This is another obstacle.
- 27:41Speaker 27: This obstacle cannot define me. It's not going to cripple me.
- 27:44Speaker 27: It's not going to be responsible for me stepping away
- 27:48Speaker 27: for the game that I love.
- 27:49Speaker 2: I'm going to step away on my own terms.
- 27:52Speaker 27: And that's when the decision was made that you know
- 27:54Speaker 27: what I'm doing it doing.
- 27:56Speaker 2: It discussed.
- 28:00Speaker 19: Disgusted discussed as a negative emotion, but it can have
- 28:04Speaker 19: a very positive, powerful effect. Disgust says, I've had it.
- 28:09Speaker 19: What an important day that could be.
- 28:12Speaker 41: Most people will not understand your obsession, your drive, and
- 28:16Speaker 41: your determination.
- 28:17Speaker 2: Success is a lonely journey. That's just a reality.
- 28:20Speaker 41: And most people are not gonna understand why you're so
- 28:23Speaker 41: driven while you're so obsessed, And if you try and
- 28:25Speaker 41: make them understand, you're gonna end up frustrated. The best
- 28:30Speaker 41: advice I can tell you is go on the journey
- 28:33Speaker 41: by yourself.
- 28:34Speaker 23: If I'm going to be just as miserable being mediocre
- 28:39Speaker 23: as I am doing this, I.
- 28:41Speaker 27: Think iverson so that's how you're gonna play it.
- 28:43Speaker 5: You're gonna do this.
- 28:44Speaker 14: Okay, Fine, that's all I needed.
- 28:47Speaker 27: That's all I needed for him to do that, and
- 28:49Speaker 27: it became personal with me.
- 28:52Speaker 19: Welcome all experiences. You never know which one is going to.
- 28:58Speaker 2: Turn everything on. Don't put up the walls.
- 29:05Speaker 19: The same wall that keeps out disappointment keeps out happiness.
- 29:09Speaker 2: Take down the walls. Go for the experience. Let it
- 29:12Speaker 2: teach you. And here's the last thing. Resolve.
- 29:18Speaker 19: Resolve says I will, two of the most powerful words
- 29:20Speaker 19: in the language.
- 29:23Speaker 2: Benjamin just rarely said.
- 29:24Speaker 19: Nothing can resist a human will that will stake its
- 29:28Speaker 19: existence on its purpose. Shortly put, I'll do it or die.
- 29:34Speaker 42: My whole thing, Joe is, I'm so grateful. I'm so
- 29:38Speaker 42: optimistic man, and I'm always looking for light in every situation.
- 29:43Speaker 42: And I think that's the way I deal with things.
- 29:44Speaker 42: I just I'm always I always believe there's going to
- 29:46Speaker 42: be good at the end of the day. That's just
- 29:48Speaker 42: how I am. I'm just so grateful. Where most people
- 29:51Speaker 42: will be so upset with themselves and all this type
- 29:53Speaker 42: of stuff, I'm really not. I believe that my best
- 29:56Speaker 42: year is my prime is even still ahead of me,
- 29:58Speaker 42: so I'm not even tripping about it.
- 30:00Speaker 21: Do not be the cult cynic. The ability to express wondering,
- 30:04Speaker 21: amazement and seem like you mean it is a rare
- 30:07Speaker 21: and dying talent, but one is still greatly valued.
- 30:12Speaker 22: The first thing is you gotta be selfish as hell.
- 30:17Speaker 22: You gotta be selfish. I don't give a foo. It's
- 30:21Speaker 22: to sacrifice, but without great sacrifice and without great risk,
- 30:24Speaker 22: because there is no such thing as a great reward.
- 30:28Speaker 2: You have to have.
- 30:30Speaker 22: And I don't like this word, but I'm gonna say
- 30:33Speaker 22: it because it's true. You have to be a little
- 30:35Speaker 22: maniacal with this ship maniac right. That word isn't good
- 30:40Speaker 22: in a lot of situations. But when you're pursuing your destiny,
- 30:46Speaker 22: when you identify with your destiny, you have to be selfish.
- 30:51Speaker 22: You have to be moniacal, you have to be uncompromising,
- 30:57Speaker 22: and you have to move in a way way when
- 31:01Speaker 22: it comes to those three things, when you function completely
- 31:07Speaker 22: in a way where it's an unwavering faith, like it
- 31:11Speaker 22: don't matter how fuck this might look, It don't matter
- 31:14Speaker 22: how much it feels like it ain't gonna work.
- 31:17Speaker 29: People say I'm conceived, I talk too much but they
- 31:19Speaker 29: must have pity on me.
- 31:20Speaker 27: It's hard to be humble when you're as great as I.
- 31:24Speaker 34: We have been fed this line of horship that you're
- 31:27Speaker 34: supposed to seek comfort, and I don't think you are.
- 31:30Speaker 34: I think you're supposed to seek lessons, and you're supposed
- 31:32Speaker 34: to seek difficult tasks and accomplishments and through those things
- 31:37Speaker 34: and through doing things that are hard to do. Even
- 31:40Speaker 34: if it's just a ninety minute hot yoga class. I
- 31:43Speaker 34: do a ninety minute yoga class, man, those last twenty minutes,
- 31:46Speaker 34: I do not want to be there, man, and I
- 31:48Speaker 34: definitely don't want to give one hundred percent. And I
- 31:50Speaker 34: can cheat.
- 31:51Speaker 2: I could kind of half ass it.
- 31:53Speaker 34: I can, But if I don't and I get through it,
- 31:57Speaker 34: when that time is up and the lady says namaste
- 31:59Speaker 34: and everybody he gets up, I'm like, fuck, man, I
- 32:01Speaker 34: made it.
- 32:02Speaker 22: You know.
- 32:02Speaker 34: I lost fifteen pounds. My yoga mat has drenched the
- 32:05Speaker 34: point where I get literally ring it out and fill
- 32:08Speaker 34: a jug up with water. But through that struggle, I
- 32:12Speaker 34: will now have a better day, and I better do
- 32:15Speaker 34: it again tomorrow.
- 32:16Speaker 7: Why you need to go all in, the main reason
- 32:20Speaker 7: you need to go all in is because you have
- 32:23Speaker 7: nothing to lose, bro when you think about it, Guys,
- 32:29Speaker 7: you're already broke, okay, And we know that you're not
- 32:33Speaker 7: going to save yourself rich okay. And we know that
- 32:38Speaker 7: if somebody else is all in and you only have
- 32:41Speaker 7: half of your foot into the water and you're not
- 32:43Speaker 7: ready to jump, that guy's going.
- 32:45Speaker 5: To beat you every single time.
- 32:47Speaker 27: If your job is to try to be the best
- 32:49Speaker 27: basketball player, you can be right to do that. You
- 32:52Speaker 27: have to practice. You have to train, right. You want
- 32:54Speaker 27: to train as much as you can, as often as
- 32:57Speaker 27: you can. So if you get up at ten in
- 32:59Speaker 27: the morning, train at eleven, right, twelve, say twelve, train
- 33:03Speaker 27: at twelve, train for two hours, twelve to two. You
- 33:06Speaker 27: have to let your body recover, so you eat, recover
- 33:09Speaker 27: whatever you get back out you train, start training again
- 33:11Speaker 27: at six, train from six to eight. Right, and now
- 33:15Speaker 27: you go home, You shower, you dinner, you go to bed,
- 33:17Speaker 27: You wake up and do it again. Right, those are
- 33:19Speaker 27: two sessions right now. Imagine you wake up at three,
- 33:21Speaker 27: you train at four, you go four to six, come home, breakfast, relax,
- 33:25Speaker 27: so so blah lah lah. Now you're back at it
- 33:27Speaker 27: again nine to eleven. Right, you relax, and now it's done,
- 33:31Speaker 27: you're back at it again. To the four. And now
- 33:33Speaker 27: you're back at it again. You know seven to nine.
- 33:36Speaker 27: Look how much more training I have done by simply
- 33:39Speaker 27: starting at four? Right? And so now you do that,
- 33:42Speaker 27: And as the years go on, the separation that you
- 33:46Speaker 27: have with your competitors and your peers just grows larger.
- 33:49Speaker 12: And larger and larger and larger and larger.
- 33:52Speaker 27: And by a year five or six, doesn't matter how
- 33:54Speaker 27: what kind of work they doing in the summer, they're
- 33:56Speaker 27: never gonna catch up.
- 33:58Speaker 19: But I think that's good advice. Don't be a follower,
- 34:01Speaker 19: be a student. Right, take advice, but not orders. Take information,
- 34:07Speaker 19: but don't let somebody you know order your life.
- 34:09Speaker 2: Make sure what you do.
- 34:10Speaker 19: Is the product of your own conclusion. Make sure what
- 34:13Speaker 19: you do is the product of.
- 34:15Speaker 2: Your own conclusion.
- 34:18Speaker 19: Not to do what someone else says, take what someone
- 34:21Speaker 19: else says, processes, think about it, ponder it. If it
- 34:25Speaker 19: makes you wonder, it makes you think, then it's valuable.
- 34:29Speaker 19: Then when you go take action, make sure that the
- 34:31Speaker 19: action is not what somebody told you to do. Make
- 34:33Speaker 19: sure the action is the product of your own conclusion.
- 34:37Speaker 33: The biggest difference between people who win and people who lose.
- 34:40Speaker 33: Is that winners expect to win. Winners are not surprised
- 34:44Speaker 33: when they win. Like when I win, I don't like celebrate,
- 34:48Speaker 33: overly celebrate because I expected that to be the outcome.
- 34:51Speaker 33: Amateurs when they win, they're surprised and then they over celebrate,
- 34:54Speaker 33: And like I said, when they over celebrate, they become
- 34:57Speaker 33: ineffective because they're taking their eye off the game for
- 35:00Speaker 33: way too long. Right, I won the week this week,
- 35:02Speaker 33: and then they talk about that one week for the
- 35:04Speaker 33: next six weeks, and the next six weeks, the guy
- 35:06Speaker 33: who expected to win is still going just as hard.
- 35:08Speaker 33: So it's an expectation. That's the difference between winners and
- 35:12Speaker 33: losers that I think in terms of not so much
- 35:15Speaker 33: their self talk, but just their attitude.
- 35:18Speaker 38: You're gonna know what it's gonna be like to make
- 35:21Speaker 38: it personal, because I'm gonna make it.
- 35:25Speaker 2: Personal because it's always been personal.
- 35:31Speaker 43: To me.
- 35:34Speaker 2: You identify with this gift.
- 35:38Speaker 22: We all got the gift because something that we've all
- 35:42Speaker 22: been blessed with at some point, if we listen to
- 35:46Speaker 22: that little thing that speaks to us inside. Some people
- 35:51Speaker 22: call it instinct, some people call it a vibe. Some
- 35:55Speaker 22: people call it an energy, whatever the fuck you call it.
- 35:58Speaker 22: Some people call it a voice. Whatever that thing is. Bro,
- 36:02Speaker 22: If it sparks the thought, that changes the whole trajectory
- 36:10Speaker 22: to what your life can evolve into. Because you took
- 36:14Speaker 22: a second to listen to that shit, you are identifying
- 36:19Speaker 22: with your blessing. You are identifying with your gift, and
- 36:23Speaker 22: at that point you learn what the fuck it is
- 36:27Speaker 22: and become one with it and walk in your purpose.
- 36:30Speaker 19: Brow The key is time is precious. Now let me
- 36:36Speaker 19: give your Bill Bailey's a description of time. Life is
- 36:40Speaker 19: not just the passing of time. Life is not just
- 36:44Speaker 19: the passing of time. Life is a collection of experiences,
- 36:52Speaker 19: their frequency and their intensity. Life is not just watching
- 37:02Speaker 19: the tick away. Life is a collection of experiences, their intensity,
- 37:10Speaker 19: their frequency. When my friend Mark died at age forty four,
- 37:14Speaker 19: so and says, that's young to die, But what if
- 37:16Speaker 19: he lived four lifetimes in one might not be to you.
- 37:20Speaker 19: So here's whatever the span of your life turns out
- 37:23Speaker 19: to be.
- 37:23Speaker 2: Here's what you want to fill.
- 37:24Speaker 19: It up with experiences and the intensity of those experiences.
- 37:29Speaker 12: And if you lose that, not only are you not
- 37:32Speaker 12: going to be successful in life, you will also lose yourself,
- 37:39Speaker 12: and you will. You'll be unhappy, you'll be unfield, you
- 37:42Speaker 12: be alienated from who you are. And you can get
- 37:45Speaker 12: away with that when you're young, because you're happy, you
- 37:48Speaker 12: look good, you've got energy, things are going right. You
- 37:51Speaker 12: get into your thirties and you're like everybody else. You
- 37:55Speaker 12: don't know who you are and you don't know what
- 37:56Speaker 12: you like anymore. You're just following the trends. You start
- 37:59Speaker 12: to get to pressed and you start going down this
- 38:02Speaker 12: rabbit hole and things can turn really ugly. So you
- 38:06Speaker 12: need a bit of courage in life. You need to go, Okay,
- 38:10Speaker 12: I am weird, I am strange, you know, lean into it.
- 38:16Speaker 12: So when I had the forty eight Laws of Power
- 38:21Speaker 12: when it first when I first wrote the book without
- 38:24Speaker 12: being published yet, it was a very strange looking book,
- 38:29Speaker 12: and it reflects my own strangeness. Things on the margins, stories,
- 38:34Speaker 12: everything broken up, images, quotes here and there.
- 38:38Speaker 19: And what a time now for us to take this
- 38:40Speaker 19: dream and not let it die. Take this dream and
- 38:43Speaker 19: give it life. Take this dream and breathe into it
- 38:47Speaker 19: your own personal spirit until finally it becomes a flame
- 38:52Speaker 19: that burns around the whole world.
- 38:55Speaker 2: Let's go do it now.
- 38:58Speaker 27: Well, Max, I think the greatest fear that we fe ourselves, Actually,
- 39:02Speaker 27: I think it's it's not anything that's external or anything
- 39:06Speaker 27: that's superficial. I think the greatest fear you faces yourself.
- 39:09Speaker 27: Because we all have dreams, and it's very scary sometimes
- 39:14Speaker 27: to accept the dream that you have, and it's scarier
- 39:17Speaker 27: still to say okay, I want that. It's scary because
- 39:21Speaker 27: you're afraid that if you put your heart and soul
- 39:24Speaker 27: into it and you fail, then how are you going
- 39:26Speaker 27: to feel about yourself?
- 39:28Speaker 2: Right?
- 39:28Speaker 27: So, being fearless means putting yourself out there and going
- 39:32Speaker 27: for it, no matter what, to go for it, not
- 39:35Speaker 27: for anybody else, but for yourself.
- 39:39Speaker 2: Then here's a philosophy that really changed for me.
- 39:42Speaker 19: Everything be so busy giving other people recognition, you really
- 39:46Speaker 19: don't need it for yourself. I learned to recognize people
- 39:50Speaker 19: for small steps of progress, every little thing I can
- 39:53Speaker 19: think of, figure out rewards for small steps.
- 39:57Speaker 34: And what works is if you dedicate you your time
- 40:00Speaker 34: and your focus like realistically with a professional, disciplined effort
- 40:05Speaker 34: to creativity. Show up every day like a professional, but
- 40:09Speaker 34: you show up to be creative if you just do
- 40:11Speaker 34: it on a regular basis ideas will come to you.
- 40:14Speaker 34: Where are these ideas coming from? Well, his concept was
- 40:17Speaker 34: to think of it as you're a professional and you're
- 40:20Speaker 34: getting these ideas from the muse, and as what you do.
- 40:22Speaker 34: You show up and you do the work, you focus
- 40:24Speaker 34: on it, and these ideas will come to you.
- 40:27Speaker 12: And that little voice comes completely drowned out, and so
- 40:31Speaker 12: you don't know who you are anymore, and you're afraid,
- 40:34Speaker 12: particularly young people today, I mean maybe it's always been
- 40:37Speaker 12: that way, are so afraid of being different, they're so
- 40:40Speaker 12: afraid of being odd. But look at all the powerful
- 40:44Speaker 12: people in this world. Look at your elon musks, look
- 40:48Speaker 12: at your celebrities in entertainment, in business and politics. They're
- 40:53Speaker 12: one of a kind. They have like you hate that word,
- 40:57Speaker 12: but it's like a brand. They're different. They stand out
- 40:59Speaker 12: for something that's truly different. You know, even Albert Einstein,
- 41:03Speaker 12: there's nobody else like ants, and there's nobody liked it.
- 41:05Speaker 12: Vin Sheet, Okay, that's where your power lies. And you'll go, oh,
- 41:11Speaker 12: but Robert, those are people that were brilliant, that were talented.
- 41:14Speaker 2: I'm not like that.
- 41:15Speaker 41: I don't have that.
- 41:16Speaker 12: Well, both you do have that. It's just you're forgetting
- 41:20Speaker 12: about it. You don't want to put the effort into it.
- 41:22Speaker 44: And there's no one more narcissistic than someone who's smart.
- 41:27Speaker 2: And if you are smart, that's a real temptation. It's
- 41:30Speaker 2: a real temptation. Can make you bitter as hell.
- 41:32Speaker 44: The most bitter people are the smart people who aren't
- 41:35Speaker 44: successful because they feel that there, yeah, their shining light
- 41:40Speaker 44: wasn't given due course, and that the world should fall
- 41:42Speaker 44: at their feet and didn't.
- 41:44Speaker 2: The way the world works, you don't get a.
- 41:47Speaker 44: Gift without a corresponding temptation, and intellect is certainly it
- 41:53Speaker 44: has the same characteristic. You can go very spectacularly wrong
- 41:57Speaker 44: if you're smart. And it's pride that.
- 42:00Speaker 30: When you set a dream and you say this is
- 42:02Speaker 30: what I'm going to do, I'm going to do this,
- 42:04Speaker 30: I'm going to do that, and you make a plan
- 42:06Speaker 30: and the plans are good. But if you come to
- 42:09Speaker 30: a certain point where there's a tree across the road
- 42:14Speaker 30: or the bridge is out, you can't say, well, there
- 42:16Speaker 30: goes my dream. You've got to be flexible, Well what
- 42:20Speaker 30: am I going to do? What adjustments am I going
- 42:23Speaker 30: to make to be able to still get to where
- 42:26Speaker 30: I'm going to be what I want? To be you
- 42:30Speaker 30: need some flexibility, you need discipline, you need personal discipline.
- 42:37Speaker 2: There's times when.
- 42:39Speaker 30: You don't you don't feel like doing what needs to
- 42:43Speaker 30: be done to get this, and but you've got to say,
- 42:48Speaker 30: feelings has nothing.
- 42:49Speaker 22: To do with it.
- 42:51Speaker 30: This is my dream, this is what I'm going to do.
- 42:56Speaker 21: Lots of people associate working hard with not making progress.
- 42:59Speaker 21: That's all working feels like wasting.
- 43:04Speaker 23: So the idea that working hard doesn't make progress is
- 43:08Speaker 23: one of the biggest farces that exists in humanity, right.
- 43:11Speaker 23: And so if there is anything that's eternal for us,
- 43:13Speaker 23: at least as individuals, it's going to be who we
- 43:16Speaker 23: become in the process. And so one of my favorite
- 43:18Speaker 23: quotes is the work works on you more than you
- 43:20Speaker 23: work on it. And so if you want to be
- 43:23Speaker 23: the best in the world at something, you do the
- 43:26Speaker 23: work to become the best in the world, and the
- 43:28Speaker 23: work works on you. And so, I mean, there's a
- 43:31Speaker 23: biblical property. I think it says like there is profit
- 43:34Speaker 23: in all labor, and that means that even if the
- 43:40Speaker 23: thing that you're working on right now doesn't amount to
- 43:42Speaker 23: the outcome that you expected that it would, it doesn't
- 43:45Speaker 23: mean that you don't become better through doing it.
- 43:47Speaker 14: And so.
- 43:50Speaker 43: The whole point of the human race and the human
- 43:53Speaker 43: mind in it self is evolution, whether there's evolution spiritually, physically,
- 43:59Speaker 43: period evolution. The purpose from birth is creation.
- 44:04Speaker 14: That's all humans do.
- 44:05Speaker 5: Everything around you was created.
- 44:08Speaker 43: You were created, that table over there created, this chair created,
- 44:12Speaker 43: this might create it, that camera created that had created.
- 44:16Speaker 43: The whole point of the human race itself is creation.
- 44:20Speaker 43: Before now, when there was at least ideally that the
- 44:24Speaker 43: belief of two human beings on earth, everything after that
- 44:30Speaker 43: was a creation and it self. The whole point is
- 44:33Speaker 43: evolution and creation. If you're not evolving, you're doing something wrong.
- 44:38Speaker 43: So anything that takes away the power of your mind
- 44:45Speaker 43: is keeping you still and delaying your evolution. The whole
- 44:49Speaker 43: point of life is evolution. Steady of your laws of
- 44:53Speaker 43: the universe, the law of attraction, the law of abundance,
- 44:56Speaker 43: the law of equivalence, change, study your laws, the laws
- 45:01Speaker 43: of cause and effect, the karmic cycle. Study your laws,
- 45:06Speaker 43: Dwell into your mind, meditate, Understand that you can alter
- 45:10Speaker 43: your realms by your train of thought.
