Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: How much do you love yourself? Because if you understand
- 0:09Speaker 1: the value of self love, you'll never be friends with
- 0:16Speaker 1: those type of people. Most of the people out here
- 0:23Speaker 1: are running around empty. They have no sense of self,
- 0:30Speaker 1: no sense of self love.
- 0:32Speaker 2: When I say self.
- 0:33Speaker 1: Love, it has nothing to do with celebrity, money, materialistic things,
- 0:37Speaker 1: and all of the things that your negative mind could.
- 0:39Speaker 3: Probably go to.
- 0:42Speaker 1: Has nothing to do with self love, has nothing to
- 0:44Speaker 1: do with looks, nothing to do with cars, and any
- 0:48Speaker 1: of the superficial things that one would assume that could
- 0:51Speaker 1: make you love yourself even more. It's a matter of
- 0:56Speaker 1: knowing your value. It's a matter of of you saying
- 1:01Speaker 1: I don't have to be around these people in these
- 1:04Speaker 1: type of environments and situations in order for me to
- 1:07Speaker 1: finally see the value in myself. I love me independent
- 1:13Speaker 1: of you loving me. I believe in me, I know
- 1:19Speaker 1: my self worth, I am here and I have a purpose.
- 1:26Speaker 1: There is no value and having wisdom, knowledge, insight, spirituality,
- 1:31Speaker 1: love every day. I am a work in progress.
- 1:45Speaker 4: A person who can forgive nothing is a person who's
- 1:47Speaker 4: totally destroyed psychologically and emotionally. Forgive your parents, forgive any
- 1:59Speaker 4: relationship that you ever had that didn't work out. Forgive
- 2:03Speaker 4: everyone else in your life that has ever hurt you
- 2:05Speaker 4: in any way way, forgive yourself.
- 2:15Speaker 5: Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could
- 2:20Speaker 5: be any different.
- 2:22Speaker 6: I think for myself, and I know many of you.
- 2:26Speaker 5: You think forgiving.
- 2:27Speaker 6: Means accepting what has happened to you. Well, it is
- 2:32Speaker 6: accepting that it has happened to you, not accepting that
- 2:37Speaker 6: it was okay for it to happen. It is accepting
- 2:41Speaker 6: that it has happened, and.
- 2:44Speaker 5: Now what do I do about it? Forgiving is giving
- 2:49Speaker 5: up the hope, not holding on hoping, wishing that it
- 2:53Speaker 5: could have been any other way than it actually was,
- 2:57Speaker 5: giving up the hope that the past could be any different.
- 3:03Speaker 5: And when I got that, I think it took me
- 3:07Speaker 5: to the next level of being a better person because
- 3:12Speaker 5: I don't hold grudges for anything or any.
- 3:15Speaker 7: Situation, and neither should you.
- 3:18Speaker 5: It's letting go so that the past does not hold
- 3:23Speaker 5: you prisoner.
- 3:24Speaker 6: Does not hold you hostage.
- 3:31Speaker 3: See life is cyclic.
- 3:33Speaker 8: You're not whatever experience you're having right now, it has
- 3:37Speaker 8: not come to stay. It has come to pass, not
- 3:43Speaker 8: to stay, just to pass. It's just going through the
- 3:46Speaker 8: biggest challenge is is to know what's happening, This is
- 3:50Speaker 8: a part of this thing we call life, This too
- 3:52Speaker 8: shall pass, and maintaining perspective, putting it in perspective.
- 4:00Speaker 9: You have to be willing to break from the past
- 4:02Speaker 9: to have the future you so desperately desire. You have
- 4:06Speaker 9: to have the courage to allow yourself to honor the
- 4:11Speaker 9: past as it was, to forgive those who need to
- 4:15Speaker 9: be forgiven, to forgive yourself, and to acknowledge that everything
- 4:21Speaker 9: led you to this point.
- 4:22Speaker 8: Now everything, let it go and begin to focus on
- 4:30Speaker 8: developing myself. And I say to you, you're going to
- 4:32Speaker 8: have people to do things to you. Things are going
- 4:34Speaker 8: to happen to you, and the most important thing to
- 4:36Speaker 8: do is to harness your will and let it go
- 4:40Speaker 8: and move so you can grow, so you can get
- 4:42Speaker 8: on with your life. It doesn't matter about what happens
- 4:51Speaker 8: to you. What matters is what are you going to
- 4:53Speaker 8: do about it?
- 4:55Speaker 3: What are you going to do now?
- 4:56Speaker 2: Less?
- 4:57Speaker 8: But if you want to begin to move into your
- 4:59Speaker 8: own person no greatness, if you want to begin to
- 5:02Speaker 8: really enjoy a happy, successful, healthy life, you've got to
- 5:06Speaker 8: be willing to go against the tide. You've got to
- 5:08Speaker 8: be willing to harness your will. So as you're in
- 5:15Speaker 8: the process of reinventing your life, write a description of
- 5:18Speaker 8: the kind of person that you want to be. What
- 5:21Speaker 8: are the things that you must overcome? What qualities about
- 5:25Speaker 8: your personality you know that you're going to have to
- 5:27Speaker 8: change because those particular characteristics are liabilities to you. What
- 5:33Speaker 8: are your assets, what are your strong points? Look at
- 5:39Speaker 8: and evaluating yourself to make that determination. The other thing
- 5:43Speaker 8: is that in order to get out of a wret,
- 5:45Speaker 8: we need some coaching. Find some trusted critics, people that
- 5:53Speaker 8: you know care about you, love you. Says Some things
- 5:57Speaker 8: that keeps us from growing and getting out of ruts
- 5:59Speaker 8: M one we identify with feedback.
- 6:04Speaker 3: We take it.
- 6:04Speaker 8: Personal when someone want to give us some feedback on
- 6:08Speaker 8: where we are falling short and tell us about our
- 6:10Speaker 8: blind spots. We want to have everything being positive about us.
- 6:13Speaker 3: We're not perfect. It hurts.
- 6:17Speaker 8: I have a friend who's a trusted critic. I don't
- 6:20Speaker 8: like him, but I love him. He doesn't tell me
- 6:21Speaker 8: the things I want to hear. He tell me what
- 6:24Speaker 8: I need to hear so I can grow.
- 6:25Speaker 7: It hurts.
- 6:27Speaker 8: It hurts when he put me on the hot seat.
- 6:28Speaker 3: I can't stand it.
- 6:31Speaker 8: But that's the only way that I can grow. And
- 6:33Speaker 8: I'm glad that he loves me enough to risk our
- 6:36Speaker 8: friendship to tell me what I need to hear, not
- 6:40Speaker 8: what I want to hear.
- 6:48Speaker 9: High performers are not dissatisfied strivers. They're not They're happy.
- 6:53Speaker 9: High performers are happier than their peers. We all believe
- 6:56Speaker 9: that to get the top, it's going to be lonely
- 6:58Speaker 9: the top, and we all believe you to grind and
- 7:00Speaker 9: kill yourself to get there, and that's completely wrong, and
- 7:02Speaker 9: the data proves that worldwide, which is I think just
- 7:06Speaker 9: overcoming a lot of people's biases about how you work
- 7:08Speaker 9: today because right now, especially today, like you know, grind
- 7:11Speaker 9: on social media is so popular, or hustle or hustle.
- 7:14Speaker 9: And by the way, none of the top fifteen percent
- 7:17Speaker 9: of high performers worldwide identify with those words. They literally don't.
- 7:22Speaker 9: We asked them, We did a whole keyword analysis. Yep,
- 7:24Speaker 9: this is actually pretty cool, and high performers explicitly say
- 7:28Speaker 9: these are the three driving feelings. If we said there
- 7:31Speaker 9: was a high performance state, it's driven from these three things.
- 7:34Speaker 9: Number one full engagement, Number two joy, Yes, and number
- 7:40Speaker 9: three confidence, that's what they relate with. Okay, that's where
- 7:44Speaker 9: it's coming from. It's a joyous journey, not a dissatisfied one.
- 7:49Speaker 9: And I have this conversation in the book because I
- 7:54Speaker 9: kind of maybe frame it this way. Each of these
- 7:56Speaker 9: chapters opens with a vignette of somebody I worked with
- 8:01Speaker 9: or a situation that I was in demonstrate a high performance.
- 8:04Speaker 9: In this particular situation, I'm walking on a stage thousands
- 8:08Speaker 9: of people after a very famous musician was out there
- 8:12Speaker 9: and was telling the audience that that person's secret to success.
- 8:15Speaker 9: Member thousands of people. Yes, their secret to their whole speech,
- 8:18Speaker 9: their secret to success was never settle, Never settle. Nothing
- 8:24Speaker 9: is enough, Never settle, and never be satisfied. Never be satisfied,
- 8:29Speaker 9: Always demand more. And I'm like, oh, my second slide,
- 8:33Speaker 9: which is gonna be on Jumbo troms in like eighty
- 8:35Speaker 9: point text, was strive satisfied. I'm like, oh, I'm gonna
- 8:41Speaker 9: have to dispel this for all these thousands of people.
- 8:43Speaker 10: I was totally freaked out.
- 8:44Speaker 9: Yeah, but what I had to explain to people was
- 8:46Speaker 9: not only the data, but it's this, if you're never satisfied,
- 8:53Speaker 9: I mean, what is it true that life is precious.
- 8:56Speaker 9: If it's true that life is precious and you could
- 8:58Speaker 9: be gone tomorrow, do you really want I think, you
- 9:00Speaker 9: know what, I just never felt fulfilled. I never allowed
- 9:04Speaker 9: myself to have a moment of credit. I never allowed
- 9:07Speaker 9: myself to have a moment of peace. I never allowed
- 9:09Speaker 9: myself to look at that and say.
- 9:11Speaker 8: Good job.
- 9:13Speaker 9: That's not the way to live life. I think, just
- 9:15Speaker 9: at a spiritual level, it's a bad move. And this
- 9:17Speaker 9: book doesn't really go in a lot of that. It's
- 9:18Speaker 9: more about the science and the heart stuff. But I
- 9:22Speaker 9: think it's really important that people realize your job is
- 9:25Speaker 9: to strive satisfying, and if you strive satisfied more often,
- 9:30Speaker 9: you will be more of a high performer. And if
- 9:32Speaker 9: you never give yourself credit, you're always beating up on yourself.
- 9:35Speaker 9: You're always thinking that's not perfect enough. Then what's going
- 9:39Speaker 9: to happen? Dissatisfied people burn out and they quit more
- 9:44Speaker 9: often than satisfied strikers. So take joy in the moment,
- 9:49Speaker 9: engage with what you're doing, allow credit and satisfaction and
- 9:53Speaker 9: joy to come in. You can always be improving, of course,
- 9:56Speaker 9: but proving be improving joyfully. Yes, if you're improving joyfully.
- 10:01Speaker 1: Then you're learning.
- 10:02Speaker 9: You feel curious, you feel engaged, the joy is there.
- 10:05Speaker 9: You'll get more confident because you're like, I'm gonna learn
- 10:07Speaker 9: through this anyway. This is gonna be great because you
- 10:10Speaker 9: know this thing is all over social media right now
- 10:13Speaker 9: that you know, grind work whatever, And I'm like, it's
- 10:16Speaker 9: just it's popular, and I see why that happens, and
- 10:19Speaker 9: I see why it's catchy. It's just not scientifically valid.
- 10:32Speaker 2: Stop scaring yourself. How often do you terrorize yourself with
- 10:39Speaker 2: your own thoughts? You get into absolute terror, and it's
- 10:44Speaker 2: only coming from your thoughts. Nobody out there is doing
- 10:47Speaker 2: a thing. Sometimes it's an old family pattern. Sometimes we
- 10:50Speaker 2: get new things. I would like people, when you have
- 10:54Speaker 2: time to make a list of your fears. Make a
- 10:58Speaker 2: list of your fears, and then give yourself the opportunity
- 11:02Speaker 2: to turn each fear into a positive affirmation, turn each
- 11:08Speaker 2: one into something positive, and remember always you.
- 11:12Speaker 11: Are in charge.
- 11:13Speaker 2: You are always in charge. See one idle thought doesn't
- 11:20Speaker 2: make a whole lot of difference. Thoughts are like drops
- 11:23Speaker 2: of water. You drop a drop of water and it
- 11:27Speaker 2: doesn't mean much. But if you keep dropping and keep dropping,
- 11:31Speaker 2: you get a puddle on the floor, and then you
- 11:34Speaker 2: can get a little pond and a lake and find
- 11:37Speaker 2: that you can create an ocean. And with our own thoughts,
- 11:41Speaker 2: we can drown in a sea of negativity or we
- 11:45Speaker 2: can float on the ocean of life.
- 11:49Speaker 10: And it's up to us.
- 11:51Speaker 2: The thoughts we think accumulate, and what sort of puddles
- 11:55Speaker 2: are you standing in? Or are you up to here?
- 11:58Speaker 2: Or are you up to here trying to paddle? You know,
- 12:02Speaker 2: what are you doing to yourself? When we're willing to
- 12:05Speaker 2: change our thinking, we can change our experiences. And it
- 12:10Speaker 2: doesn't matter if you've got a big puddle of negative thoughts,
- 12:16Speaker 2: you know you can move over here and create a
- 12:18Speaker 2: puddle of mindless positive thoughts. You can make changes always,
- 12:23Speaker 2: So you want to turn those fear thoughts into positive affirmations,
- 12:28Speaker 2: let them work for you.
- 12:36Speaker 3: When we think we are unworthy, it means that for
- 12:41Speaker 3: some reason, we believe that we have to prove we
- 12:46Speaker 3: have a right to our space on the planet in
- 12:51Speaker 3: life as we are, being who we are, and that
- 12:56Speaker 3: means that we will do all manner of wonderfulness to
- 13:01Speaker 3: prove we deserve to be here. And usually with some
- 13:04Speaker 3: of the common things are. We overcommit, overgive, we overdo,
- 13:10Speaker 3: we over excuse, we overcompensate, and we stay in difficult,
- 13:17Speaker 3: desperate hurt for harmful situations much longer than it is
- 13:21Speaker 3: wise or productive to do so. Worth what it is
- 13:26Speaker 3: that you expect from the world in response to who
- 13:31Speaker 3: you are. It's very different from value self. Value means
- 13:38Speaker 3: how you hold yourself within yourself and what you expect
- 13:42Speaker 3: as a result. Now in order to get to the worth,
- 13:46Speaker 3: If you're not holding yourself within yourself as worthy, then
- 13:51Speaker 3: what you expect from the world is surely gonna hurt you.
- 13:57Speaker 10: This is what you're gonna do. You are literally going
- 13:59Speaker 10: to dump out everything that's in your head onto this
- 14:02Speaker 10: piece of paper, every concern, every worry, every to do
- 14:06Speaker 10: everything that's bothering you that you're thinking about.
- 14:09Speaker 11: For some people especially, they're just experiencing way too much pressure,
- 14:13Speaker 11: and that pressure a lot of times, it's just an
- 14:15Speaker 11: imbalance and perspective and discipline as a matter of the
- 14:18Speaker 11: imposition of order, and the order is necessary, especially for
- 14:21Speaker 11: people who are hopeless and nihilistic.
- 14:23Speaker 12: Your work is going to fill a large part of
- 14:24Speaker 12: your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied
- 14:27Speaker 12: is to do what you believe is greatly.
- 14:29Speaker 13: Most people do it for survivor you tell we need
- 14:32Speaker 13: to feed up families, we need to survive. It's okay,
- 14:34Speaker 13: we have to do it. But to wake up with,
- 14:37Speaker 13: you know, my feet and my fingers dingly and say, wow,
- 14:41Speaker 13: I have this to do, have that to do today,
- 14:43Speaker 13: and it's an amazing feeling. And I don't take it
- 14:46Speaker 13: for granted.
- 14:47Speaker 10: You're going to have a hard time thinking about all
- 14:50Speaker 10: the options and you're going to be really attached emotionally.
- 14:53Speaker 3: So all of us know.
- 14:54Speaker 9: That I can get over here.
- 14:57Speaker 2: But over here, man.
- 14:58Speaker 1: This is much greater because I've got to go.
- 15:00Speaker 9: Through this journey that is not fun. This from twenty
- 15:04Speaker 9: to hards to for sit in between is not fun.
- 15:09Speaker 11: Discomfort is your friend. It really is like discomfort and
- 15:14Speaker 11: not being happy and content with certain situations in life,
- 15:18Speaker 11: with certain feelings in life. They're massive, massive motivators, and
- 15:23Speaker 11: they're they're amazing at facilitating change.
- 15:27Speaker 12: Everything else is second. Were the words stay hungry, stay foolish.
- 15:34Speaker 12: It was their farewell message as they signed off, Stay hungry,
- 15:39Speaker 12: stay foolish, and I always wish that myself.
- 15:44Speaker 3: Well, it is scatty.
- 15:45Speaker 13: I want long we say that, you know, especially business,
- 15:47Speaker 13: because it's a very scary place to be in. It changes,
- 15:50Speaker 13: it goes ups and down. They ask so many ups
- 15:52Speaker 13: and downs. To be successful. You have to be able
- 15:55Speaker 13: to walk away from a deal. You have to if
- 15:57Speaker 13: you wanted bad enough. The people are and I give
- 16:00Speaker 13: it to you at MS.
- 16:01Speaker 7: You know, if you think it sucks when it's bad,
- 16:05Speaker 7: you have losing pessimistic DNA, and if you think it's
- 16:09Speaker 7: awesome and phenomenal, you have optimistic winning DNA.
- 16:12Speaker 12: And I believe that to be true.
- 16:13Speaker 5: And so that's a wrap.
- 16:16Speaker 9: That's why people got to understand what is in us?
- 16:19Speaker 7: We have no idea until we start trying.
- 16:23Speaker 2: Hard is it?
- 16:24Speaker 11: Is it as enjoyable as it can be? And we
- 16:26Speaker 11: all know that there's a spectrum for that enjoyability. Like
- 16:29Speaker 11: we've all had times in our life where it's not
- 16:31Speaker 11: been so great and then times in a life where
- 16:33Speaker 11: everything came.
- 16:34Speaker 9: Together like what a fucking great day? Like make more
- 16:38Speaker 9: of those.
- 16:39Speaker 8: And the discipline part you don't hear a lot about.
- 16:41Speaker 13: That's the things people do when nobody will sees.
- 16:44Speaker 9: That's when you win.
