- 0:01Speaker 1: How do you overcome the suffering of life?
- 0:07Speaker 2: How do you overcome the suffering of life? Be a
- 0:09Speaker 2: better person? That's how you do it?
- 0:13Speaker 3: Well, that's hard.
- 0:15Speaker 2: It takes responsibility. And I think you know if you
- 0:17Speaker 2: said to someone you.
- 0:19Speaker 1: Want to have a meaningful life, everything you do matters,
- 0:23Speaker 1: that's the.
- 0:23Speaker 2: Definition of the needingful life.
- 0:25Speaker 1: But everything you do matters, you're gonna have to carry.
- 0:28Speaker 4: That with you.
- 0:34Speaker 1: Do you realize that every day you thought you wasn't
- 0:37Speaker 1: gonna make it? Do you remember them days where you
- 0:40Speaker 1: thought it was absolutely unbearable and you thought you wasn't
- 0:43Speaker 1: gonna do it?
- 0:44Speaker 2: That one I'm telling you do me a favor. Just
- 0:47Speaker 2: don't let it fight you. If you get past it
- 0:50Speaker 2: on the other side of it, it's going to be
- 0:52Speaker 2: fore now and no. The ultimate resources are emotional states.
- 0:58Speaker 2: If you're creative enough, can you find the answer? Yes
- 1:01Speaker 2: or no. If you're determined enough, can you find the breakthrough?
- 1:05Speaker 2: Yes or no. If you're passionate, loving enough, can you
- 1:08Speaker 2: get someone to help you? Yes or no? If there's
- 1:10Speaker 2: no way you're committed, can you find the money even
- 1:13Speaker 2: if you don't have it? Yes or no? So I
- 1:16Speaker 2: said creativity, decisiveness, passion, honesty, sincerity, love. These are the
- 1:22Speaker 2: ultimate human resources. And when you engage these resources, you
- 1:26Speaker 2: can get any other resource on earth.
- 1:29Speaker 5: So if you don't put the work in today, if
- 1:32Speaker 5: you don't do the unending, backbreaking work of developing yourself
- 1:38Speaker 5: into something greater, the world is going to pass you by.
- 1:41Speaker 6: The people that are going to own it are going
- 1:43Speaker 6: to be the ones that did that work. And the
- 1:45Speaker 6: one promise that I can make you right now is
- 1:48Speaker 6: that somebody, somebody out there's outwork. Somebody right now is
- 1:55Speaker 6: doing the things that I'm saying. Somebody right now is
- 1:59Speaker 6: doing the work of the failing and getting up and
- 2:03Speaker 6: getting better and pushing themselves and triggering that glorious adaptation
- 2:08Speaker 6: response that makes humans the apex predator. Someone right now,
- 2:12Speaker 6: they're putting in that work, and if you don't, the
- 2:17Speaker 6: future is going to belong to them.
- 2:20Speaker 3: So when you stop outsourcing your happiness, your validation, your support,
- 2:28Speaker 3: all of it, and you bring it back in and
- 2:31Speaker 3: you get responsible for it. When you're responsible, when you're
- 2:35Speaker 3: the driver of your life, when you're not looking out
- 2:38Speaker 3: to anybody else to fix it.
- 2:40Speaker 7: For you, you're.
- 2:42Speaker 3: The one that has to be the woman. You're the
- 2:44Speaker 3: one who has to push your own ask You're the
- 2:46Speaker 3: one who has to figure out what makes you happy.
- 2:49Speaker 3: You're the one who has to figure out and becomes
- 2:51Speaker 3: self aware about what you need. And then you're the
- 2:53Speaker 3: one that has to find whatever it is the courage
- 2:56Speaker 3: or being humble enough to ask for help.
- 3:00Speaker 6: And as Martin Luther King Junior said, if you can't fly,
- 3:04Speaker 6: then run. If you can't run, then walk. If you
- 3:08Speaker 6: can't walk, then call. But whatever you do, you have
- 3:12Speaker 6: to keep moving forward.
- 3:21Speaker 1: Anybody that you feel very strongly about have some negative
- 3:24Speaker 1: feelings about, let's look at some good reasons to forgive them.
- 3:28Speaker 2: Number One, you must.
- 3:29Speaker 1: Try and see what has happened or see things from
- 3:32Speaker 1: that other person's point of view. If look at it
- 3:35Speaker 1: from their point of view, that's one area. That's number one.
- 3:39Speaker 1: Then number two, holding a grudge hurts you, doesn't hurt them.
- 3:46Speaker 1: So just for good health and peace of mind, let
- 3:50Speaker 1: it go. Any feeling of resentment or anger or hatred
- 3:55Speaker 1: is called to me. The load of bitterness within thought
- 4:00Speaker 1: that we entertain produces a chemical in our brain that
- 4:03Speaker 1: impacts the body's immune system. And besides, this person you're hating,
- 4:08Speaker 1: they probably are not even aware of it. If someplace
- 4:12Speaker 1: having a good time don't even know you're really hating them,
- 4:17Speaker 1: You've turned up the steed, gone from dislike to hate,
- 4:21Speaker 1: intense hate. And here you are killing yourself, making yourself
- 4:26Speaker 1: vulnerable to various types of illnesses, putting yourself in bad health.
- 4:30Speaker 1: And I say that person is not worth your sacrificing
- 4:34Speaker 1: your health or one minute of peace of mind. One
- 4:37Speaker 1: minute of anger robs you of sixty seconds of happiness.
- 4:44Speaker 1: So decide it doesn't matter, let it go, and experience
- 4:49Speaker 1: the dignity and the magnanimous sense of character of being
- 4:54Speaker 1: big enough to move on and get on with your life.
- 4:58Speaker 1: Letting it go so you can we grow. Next step
- 5:03Speaker 1: lack of self acceptance. How does it show up? How
- 5:06Speaker 1: does it manifest itself? Seeing we all of us have
- 5:09Speaker 1: greatness within us. But when you don't come to grips
- 5:13Speaker 1: with your greatness and you don't work to develop it,
- 5:15Speaker 1: if you're not seeking it out, if you're not finding
- 5:18Speaker 1: where it is, if you're not trying to locate it,
- 5:20Speaker 1: if you're not experimenting with your life to try and
- 5:23Speaker 1: find out what fits for you, I'm saying that you're
- 5:27Speaker 1: positioning yourself to be a miserable person, an unfulfilled person.
- 5:33Speaker 2: How else do we do it?
- 5:34Speaker 1: Procrastination? We just put things off over and over and
- 5:39Speaker 1: over again. Why because we haven't accepted it. We don't
- 5:41Speaker 1: feel deserving, We don't feel that we're good enough, So
- 5:46Speaker 1: we sabotage ourselves by not ever taking care of business.
- 5:49Speaker 1: We get room busy doing a lot of things. Well,
- 5:51Speaker 1: we don't have any time. Well, I'll never forget. Aug
- 5:54Speaker 1: Mandino in the book called University Success, is that many
- 5:56Speaker 1: of us never ever discover our greatness because we become
- 5:59Speaker 1: side by secondary activity, we stop doing so many things.
- 6:03Speaker 1: We just give our time away until we don't have
- 6:06Speaker 1: any time for ourselves or any time to do the
- 6:08Speaker 1: things that we want to do. And every time you
- 6:11Speaker 1: put it off and move it back, go I'll do
- 6:12Speaker 1: it one day. Oh yeah, I'm going to get to it.
- 6:15Speaker 1: I'm saying to you that one day you look around
- 6:18Speaker 1: and there goes a year, there goes two years, there
- 6:21Speaker 1: goes three years. So there's something you want to do,
- 6:24Speaker 1: do it now, Do it right.
- 6:26Speaker 2: Now, don't put it off.
- 6:27Speaker 1: Stn right now where you are, there will never be
- 6:29Speaker 1: a perfect ideal time whatever you have going for you
- 6:32Speaker 1: right now that's enough. Work on that idea, Work on it,
- 6:35Speaker 1: work on it, work on.
- 6:35Speaker 4: It, decide, commit, act, succeed.
- 6:43Speaker 2: Repeat.
- 6:44Speaker 4: The one thing that all the greats have in common
- 6:46Speaker 4: is they sweat the small stuff. They pay very, very
- 6:50Speaker 4: close attention to every detail. Michael used to sweat the
- 6:54Speaker 4: detail so much in this basketball game that carried on
- 6:57Speaker 4: into us personal life. The suit had to match the
- 7:00Speaker 4: he was driving that particular day. But what those details
- 7:03Speaker 4: allowed him to do was to put him in the
- 7:07Speaker 4: zone to be the best basketball player on that given night.
- 7:11Speaker 4: The dark side is something that's in everybody, but it's
- 7:15Speaker 4: a situation that you have to control the dark side.
- 7:18Speaker 4: If it controls you, that's when things start to go real,
- 7:20Speaker 4: real bad.
- 7:21Speaker 8: That's when you have a tendency to go to the
- 7:23Speaker 8: other what I call the other side. But if you
- 7:25Speaker 8: harness the fuel that's from that dark side, whether it's anger,
- 7:29Speaker 8: whether it's fear, and turn that into positive fuel, it'll
- 7:32Speaker 8: help you really succeed at whatever you're trying to do.
- 7:36Speaker 9: Empowerment is authority. It is a sign permission, slip to
- 7:42Speaker 9: actually seize the day. It's the process of getting stronger
- 7:48Speaker 9: and more confident and more engaged and to be empowered
- 7:51Speaker 9: is to move through the world without any kind of
- 7:53Speaker 9: fear or any kind of apology. And with these gifts
- 7:57Speaker 9: comes an even deeper privilege I believe in that is
- 8:00Speaker 9: the ability to take charge of your own life, to
- 8:05Speaker 9: own yourself and claim your rights. And here's what I
- 8:09Speaker 9: know for sure that to who much is given, much
- 8:12Speaker 9: is expected. And I have been given so much. I've
- 8:17Speaker 9: earned it. I've been blessed with it. But I've been
- 8:21Speaker 9: given a lot. And that's why I've chosen to use
- 8:25Speaker 9: my life to lift other people up.
- 8:29Speaker 10: What do you really want?
- 8:32Speaker 7: Do you know? Most people can't tell you what they
- 8:35Speaker 7: really want. They don't know what they really want. They
- 8:39Speaker 7: have never sat down and got super serious what you
- 8:44Speaker 7: really want? Because when it starts to come to you infinitely,
- 8:49Speaker 7: we're thinking how can.
- 8:49Speaker 2: We do it? And we forget it.
- 8:53Speaker 7: I tell a story about sitting down with a couple
- 8:55Speaker 7: of patent john.
- 8:58Speaker 10: They worn't for Sunlife and churnch company, and I was
- 9:01Speaker 10: a big contract with them when I was doing work,
- 9:05Speaker 10: and uh, they came and asked me one day, I said,
- 9:08Speaker 10: could we meet you at lunch or something?
- 9:12Speaker 7: I said, okay.
- 9:14Speaker 10: So I was sitting talking to them and.
- 9:18Speaker 2: I talked to him for quite a while.
- 9:20Speaker 10: Never tell me how rough things were, and they were
- 9:22Speaker 10: was going in the wrong direction and side locked and stared.
- 9:24Speaker 2: For a little while.
- 9:26Speaker 10: I said, what do you really want? They had no
- 9:29Speaker 10: idea what they wanted, but they kept pressing them. What
- 9:32Speaker 10: you really want?
- 9:33Speaker 7: Yeah, well, they were living in a basement apartment in
- 9:36Speaker 7: somebody's house.
- 9:38Speaker 10: They wanted to have your own house, and I said,
- 9:40Speaker 10: we're gonna buy one.
- 9:43Speaker 7: They said, we can't buy a house.
- 9:44Speaker 10: We don't have any money. I said, you didn't need
- 9:45Speaker 10: any money. I said, what do you mean we don't
- 9:48Speaker 10: need any money.
- 9:49Speaker 7: I said, you haven't decided to buy a house. What
- 9:50Speaker 7: the hell do you need the money for it?
- 9:54Speaker 10: Now?
- 9:55Speaker 7: That is so light you could easily pass that over.
- 10:02Speaker 7: They didn't need the money because they hadn't made a
- 10:05Speaker 7: decision to buy the house.
- 10:08Speaker 2: Yet.
- 10:09Speaker 7: You make the decision to do it. Once you make
- 10:12Speaker 7: the decision, you have already done it in your mind.
- 10:17Speaker 7: You have flipped your mind onto a different frequency.
- 10:19Speaker 10: You will then begin
- 10:20Speaker 7: To attract to you whatever's required for the manifestation of
- 10:24Speaker 7: what it is you've decided to do.
