Remember Your Dream: Life-Changing Insights to Reignite Your Passion · Motivation Mindset Podcast

  Speaker 1: Rarely is it a question of talent or technique. It's
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: just one of belief and the concommitant will to kind
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: of do something that either no one's done before, or
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: even more, I think, to crack open the barriers that
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: people considered impossible or undoable. And that kind of belief
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: I think is rareer than talent. Talent is it's around
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: and to having both.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: At those levels.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: There's only a few people that really have that. I
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: think in the history they're the ones that have really
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: changed things. When you're looking at everything, it's such a
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: gift to be able to look at something and to
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: love it for the sake of it and nurturing and
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: maintaining that is one of the hardest tests of any
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: pro much less for anyone to find right. Is the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Beethoven who never found his piano or harpsichord or right.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: There's days you want to go out at her, or
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: you're sore, or you just suck.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: You're not making progress, you're burning into the and you
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: feel defeated.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: But that's the nature of love.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: You know it's got hate in there, you know it's
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: got pain in there, and it draws you to it.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: That's the magnetism.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I see people with talent, with all those things, but
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: the one thing they don't have is that just love
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: for doing it for the sake of it, and the
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: sense of obligation to do something with what you're given.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: You know, there's something too there. It's important. I think
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: getting what you want quenches the fire that got you
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: there often unless it's something replaced by something more permanent,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: which becomes more intangible. I think the successes of winning, right,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: you want to be the best in the neighborhood, and
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: then win the local contest, and then whatever whatever, it
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: just keeps going up, and then by the time you
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: get there, you can have a stadium screaming your name.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: It's actually happened a couple of times to me, and
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: there is a visceral exhilaration to it.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: There is I've experienced that. I know what that's like.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: You land a trick in there's it just lights up.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: It's crazy. But at the same time it's hollow. It's hollow.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: That's not the thing that can drive you, at least.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Not for long.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: It's being able to say, oh I had that, I
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: had a model, or I had people or that or whatever.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: All of these honors.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Eventually that stuff phased to just static and you're left
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: with you and your board. And if you decide that
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: that's what you love, that's what you're doing, then your
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: days are numbered. So the trick is to always peel
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: back of why am I doing this in the first place.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: It is easy to say, and I think it's smothering
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: to say, and often there's a culture of saying that
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: if it cannot be proven, it must not be possible.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: And the big takeaway from that theorem is that there's
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: lots of things that cannot be proven though they are correct,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: because we see things so often in front of us
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the way that it should be done, and it imposes
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: a kind of barrier through what people know and see
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: a familiarity.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: But maybe you.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Can change something within you that can be just outside
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: a new set of axioms, some new skills set that
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: will take you further.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: And I think that that's the history of development.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: And it's interesting how getting what you think you want
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: can end up being the force that pushes you into
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: pinch yourselves into a corner, it pushes you into a broom.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: There's something terrible to be top of the mountain, I'm
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the best, I'm the cane guarding it. As the Nietzsche quote, right,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: what's left for you when you make it to the
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: top but lightning?
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: You know, it's this admixtures.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Everybody has a unique set of variables that they can
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: put in place and express their individual identity in a
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: form of call it greatness. That's something to be remembered.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: That's what you look for. So if there's anything, just
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: find joy in what you do for the sake of it,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: and then recognize how you're being shaped in the process,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: and hopefully you become a better man through.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: You know, it's not fair. It's not fair. Your car
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: broke down. It's not fair. Your friend passed away.
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: It's not fair. You were bullied. It's not fair that
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: your business failed. It's not fair you lost all your money,
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: and it's not fair that she left you. It's not
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: fair because life is not fair. So now you know
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: it's not fair, what are you gonna do? You've already
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: complained about it. Are you gonna keep whining or are
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: you going to take accountability for it?
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: Because what's more.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: Whining going to do? What's more complaining gonna do? It's
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: not gonna change the fact that life can.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: Be unfair at times. So what do you need to do?
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: You need to stop complaining, stop whining, stop playing the victim,
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: and stop feeling sorry.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: For yourself and start taking control.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: Start being accountable, start taking responsibility, start changing your situation,
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: stop complaining about your life, and start working on changing
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: your life.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: Success does not come to those who can plane.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: Success comes to those who change their circumstances when needed.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: You're not weak your power. You can change your circumstances.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: Circumstances don't make you. You make your circumstances.
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: Do what you can with what you have and where
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: you are. No one said work twenty percent. No one
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: said try a little less. Wake up with your own
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: message in your head. The message that inspires you, inspires
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: you to work harder, strive for success. Stop waiting for
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: the right time. The right time is now. Take it now.
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: Work now, be creative, be strong, be successful.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: What do you want to do right now? Do something meaningful, meaningful,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: with worth, something that will impact your life.
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: Impact it for the better, make it better.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: You have it in you. Do what you can now,
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: full of ambition, fulfilled to one hundred percent, No more
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: than that. Break down the walls that contain you, imprison
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: you from achieving everything you have ever wanted. Surround yourself
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: with people who lift you up, people who can see
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: you rise, people who can see you move forward, not
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: holding you back, people who move with you, not moving
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: against you.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: For finding friends of similar character and heart. That's important
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: to me. I strive for that.
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: Be the person you need to become, feel the strength
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: you've always wanted to feel. See your courage as a superpower,
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: a superpower to help you progress, to boost your confidence,
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: boost your life, upgrade it to be better, more fulfilling life,
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: one where you and.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Only you are in control.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: What you do in these reflexive couplings shapes you. You
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: shape it, It shapes you. You don't disconnect from that.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: You just tumble forward. Over time, you become what you do,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: and you find, hopefully at the end of that process,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: you're not insufferable, that you actually have something to give
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: and can be present.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: You know. So for all I've done, I.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Appreciate, I don't look at it as much, but ultimately
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: it just goes out there. It's just what you do.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: You just become one with that. I think that's been
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: a key for me of why I've been able to
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: sustain this fire that's.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: So seemingly easily quenched.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: And so when I see people who have had success,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I see boredom for the most part in them, and
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: then I see a tombstone encircling back to what trophies
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: and those things represented. Right, Finemen great physicists said that
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: the Nobel Prize would be the tombstone on all great work.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Just look at it.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: I haven't done a study of Academy awards, right, but
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: usually when you get what you thought you wanted, fire
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: goes away. I'm honored to have had the rippling impact
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: that I have helped formulate the language of a community
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: where others can help shape and express themselves in a
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: process and connect that to me. For people like me,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: that doesn't come easily. But ultimately, I just want to
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: be a good man. You know, you ever hear that
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: goofy internet thing? Have found it. It's so stupid stuff
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: that people send you. Can you name the last Nobel
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Prize winners and Olympians, right, but you can name the
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: fifth grade teacher that had faith in you?
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Right? It's the people you touch singulating
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: That's a bigger test in a way,
