• 1:39
  All right, everyone.
• 1:39
  It is so great to have everyone here.
• 1:41
  And again, this is Inspirations for Your Life.
• 1:43
  In case you're wondering where you've tuned, we're
• 1:46
  on Series 5, Show 10, Episode 6.
• 1:48
  The master topic for the week is own
• 1:50
  your choices, clarity, courage and calmness.
• 1:55
  Today's episode theme is a real important one,
• 1:59
  and that is discipline, integrity and alignment.
• 2:02
  If you don't align with things, then why
• 2:03
  do you even do them?
• 2:04
  Oh, who am I?
• 2:07
  I'm a serial entrepreneur, engineer, marketing specialist, video
• 2:10
  producer, podcast host, coach, keynote speaker, graduate student
• 2:13
  and a passionate lifelong learner.
• 2:16
  And also pretty soon I will be a
• 2:18
  published author.
• 2:19
  I'll be able to just say I'm a
• 2:20
  published author very soon.
• 2:21
  So today's episode is harnessing around discipline, integrity
• 2:27
  and alignment to create unstoppable personal power, reduce
• 2:30
  stress and ensure every action counts.
• 2:33
  Guys, that's the most important thing.
• 2:35
  We have to make sure that every action
• 2:37
  actually counts.
• 2:38
  And that might be something you're saying, oh,
• 2:41
  John, I don't quite get it.
• 2:42
  But I'm here to tell you that you
• 2:44
  can get it.
• 2:46
  You just have to realize one thing.
• 2:48
  And that one thing is your core values.
• 2:52
  So again, this is Series 5, Show 10,
• 2:56
  Episode 6.
• 2:59
  So discipline ensures follow through, guys.
• 3:02
  Discipline is the bridge between intention and results.
• 3:07
  Without it, ideas just remain, well, dreams.
• 3:11
  Every repeat structured action moves you closer to
• 3:14
  your goals.
• 3:15
  I'm not sure if you know that.
• 3:16
  It's not something you just do one time.
• 3:19
  All right.
• 3:20
  So integrity, guys, builds trust.
• 3:24
  Your reputation isn't built in a day.
• 3:27
  Nope.
• 3:27
  When actions match words consistently, people notice.
• 3:32
  Trust compounds like interest.
• 3:33
  It grows with every aligned choice.
• 3:37
  And again, sometimes you're thinking it's snowballing, but
• 3:41
  it's not snowballing.
• 3:42
  It's just basically taking all the inertia and
• 3:45
  the effort.
• 3:46
  And then it becomes something very amazing and,
• 3:49
  of course, very, very, very powerful.
• 3:53
  And when I say powerful, I mean things
• 3:54
  that are going to be like stuff that
• 3:57
  will change your life.
• 3:59
  I think that's a very important thing for
• 4:02
  all of us here to definitely understand is
• 4:05
  that it's about changing your life.
• 4:09
  And sometimes that can be hard for some
• 4:11
  people to understand.
• 4:12
  I get that.
• 4:14
  But I want to tell you that you
• 4:16
  can do this stuff, guys.
• 4:18
  You absolutely can do this.
• 4:21
  And I know sometimes it can get –
• 4:23
  how can I say?
• 4:24
  It can get a little bit scary.
• 4:28
  That's true.
• 4:29
  It can get – it definitely can get
• 4:31
  scary.
• 4:32
  But I want to tell you that you've
• 4:34
  got this, that you can do this, and
• 4:37
  you've got to believe in yourself.
• 4:40
  That is probably the most important thing that
• 4:44
  I can tell you is to believe in
• 4:48
  yourself.
• 4:49
  If you believe in yourself, then life really
• 4:57
  changes.
• 5:00
  Yeah.
• 5:02
  Life really, really changes.
• 5:07
  And I mean that in a very special
• 5:10
  way.
• 5:12
  Life changes, and it makes a difference in
• 5:16
  your life and everyone else's life.
• 5:19
  But I think sometimes people, they get daunted
• 5:23
  by what's happening, what's going on around them.
• 5:26
  And I think that's a very important thing
• 5:29
  to understand, and that we have to really
• 5:33
  embrace that.
• 5:34
  We have to embrace that whole concept of
• 5:40
  what's going on.
• 5:42
  I think that's a very important thing to
• 5:44
  understand.
• 5:45
  And guys, you can do this, but you
• 5:48
  have to understand one thing.
• 5:49
  You know what that is?
• 5:50
  You have to understand the power, the power
• 5:54
  that you have.
• 5:55
  Because you have more power than you ever
• 5:59
  thought was possible.
• 6:03
  And it's not an illusion, guys, because I'm
• 6:06
  telling you something.
• 6:07
  You absolutely can do this in your mind.
• 6:11
  You can do this every single day.
• 6:15
  But you have to realize that it's something
• 6:18
  that you've got to think about.
• 6:20
  It's something that maybe is hard for you
• 6:23
  to understand.
• 6:24
  But I'm here to tell you guys that
• 6:26
  you can do this, and you can do
• 6:28
  this every single day.
• 6:29
  All right, let's move on to our next
• 6:31
  point.
• 6:32
  Alignment, guys, creates peace of mind.
• 6:35
  When your values and actions match, internal conflict
• 6:39
  dissolves.
• 6:41
  Alignment reduces decision fatigue, and it lets you
• 6:46
  operate calmly, even under pressure.
• 6:49
  And I know that's hard for a lot
• 6:51
  of people, but I'm telling you something.
• 6:53
  You can really do this under pressure.
• 6:56
  Yes, you can do this under pressure.
• 7:00
  And I'm telling you something.
• 7:01
  This can make a huge, huge difference for
• 7:05
  you and for so many other people.
• 7:09
  All right, so let's avoid forbidden compromises.
• 7:12
  Shortcuts that violate your principles give temporary gain
• 7:16
  but long-term regret.
• 7:17
  Saying no to compromise preserves your power, your
• 7:20
  clarity, and, guys, your self-respect.
• 7:24
  Discipline strengthens focus.
• 7:28
  Repetition and structure train your mind to resist
• 7:31
  distractions.
• 7:32
  Focus becomes a muscle.
• 7:34
  I've talked about this before.
• 7:35
  The more you exercise it, the sharper your
• 7:37
  mental edge will become.
• 7:41
  Integrity protects your reputation.
• 7:45
  Reputation is your currency.
• 7:47
  A single lapse can cost years of earned
• 7:51
  respect.
• 7:52
  Upholding integrity, even when unseen, builds silent authority.
• 7:59
  Alignment simplifies decisions when your actions align with
• 8:03
  your core values.
• 8:05
  Choices become obvious.
• 8:07
  Complexity decreases.
• 8:09
  You move faster and, of course, with confidence.
• 8:12
  So small discipline actions compound tiny consistent steps,
• 8:17
  accumulate into the massive outcomes you expect.
• 8:20
  Daily discipline in work, learning, and habits multiplies
• 8:24
  over time.
• 8:26
  And I think that's something that a lot
• 8:27
  of people, like, they just don't get it.
• 8:31
  So I want to tell you that that's
• 8:33
  something really amazing that you absolutely can do
• 8:37
  in your life.
• 8:40
  All right, so now that we know a
• 8:42
  little more about that, let's move on to
• 8:44
  another important one, which is avoid principle-violating
• 8:48
  shortcuts.
• 8:49
  Quick wins often cost you more than what
• 8:52
  you expected it to be.
• 8:53
  Following your ethics may feel slower, but ensures
• 8:57
  sustainable, let's say, repeatable, replicable success.
• 9:03
  And discipline reinforces success, guys, the habits.
• 9:08
  The most successful people don't rely on luck.
• 9:11
  They rely on the habits they repeat.
• 9:14
  Daily discipline solidifies those habits.
• 9:16
  Integrity grows through consistency.
• 9:19
  It's easy to appear honest occasionally, but real
• 9:23
  integrity, it's demonstrating consistent action day after day.
• 9:28
  Even when it's inconvenient, alignment directs energy to
• 9:32
  meaningful goals.
• 9:34
  Your time and your focus are finite.
• 9:37
  Alignment ensures every ounce of energy is invested
• 9:41
  where it produces the greatest impact.
• 9:45
  Avoid distractions from priorities.
• 9:49
  External noise can pull you off course.
• 9:53
  It can set clear boundaries to protect focus,
• 9:56
  allowing momentum to build naturally.
• 9:59
  Discipline provides freedom through structure.
• 10:02
  Ironically, the more disciplined your schedule and habits,
• 10:07
  the freer you feel.
• 10:09
  Structure allows flexibility because it reduces chaos.
• 10:13
  Integrity guides choices that are unseen.
• 10:16
  True character is revealed when no one is
• 10:18
  watching.
• 10:19
  I've said this many times before.
• 10:21
  The path in private moments, the results will
• 10:24
  ripple publicly.
• 10:26
  And that sounds like something that's cliche, but
• 10:28
  you know what?
• 10:29
  It is the truth.
• 10:30
  What you do in your private life will
• 10:33
  resonate in your public life.
• 10:38
  But it's not something I want you to
• 10:40
  just think in one way.
• 10:41
  I want you to understand that it comes
• 10:45
  down to what you're doing, okay?
• 10:49
  And the people get why we're doing things.
• 10:55
  And if we're not doing things a certain
• 10:56
  way, then maybe we need to change because
• 10:59
  we're following a pattern that's not good for
• 11:01
  us, all right?
• 11:03
  So that's important.
• 11:04
  Hey, Anthony, thanks so much for the like.
• 11:06
  Really do appreciate that.
• 11:07
  So thinking about this whole concept, right?
• 11:11
  Alignment reduces stress.
• 11:13
  Internal conflict drains energy.
• 11:16
  Aligning your actions with your values creates a
• 11:19
  calm mind, even amid uncertainty.
• 11:22
  Avoid value-contradicting actions.
• 11:25
  Every misaligned choice costs energy and clarity.
• 11:29
  Saying yes to the wrong thing, well, it
• 11:31
  erodes progress.
• 11:32
  And, of course, self-trust.
• 11:34
  And nobody wants to damage self-trust, do
• 11:36
  they?
• 11:37
  I would think they don't.
• 11:40
  So that's an important thing.
• 11:42
  And so we think about that.
• 11:45
  Maybe we'll think about doing something different.
• 11:49
  I think sometimes we see somebody do something
• 11:53
  and we say, oh, gee, I'm just going
• 11:54
  to do that.
• 11:54
  But we don't think about the consequences.
• 11:56
  We don't think about why somebody does it.
• 11:59
  We just say, oh, gee, they're jumping off
• 12:00
  a bridge.
• 12:01
  Let me go jump.
• 12:01
  It looks like fun.
• 12:02
  But we don't even, like, think about the
• 12:04
  whole concept.
• 12:06
  Discipline builds resilience, guys.
• 12:07
  Consistency in the face of difficulty strengthens mental
• 12:11
  endurance.
• 12:12
  Challenges become opportunities to fortify your resolve.
• 12:17
  Integrity creates credibility.
• 12:19
  People remember who does what they say.
• 12:24
  Credibility opens doors that talent or effort alone
• 12:27
  cannot open.
• 12:30
  Alignment clarifies the purpose.
• 12:32
  When actions match vision, every task feels meaningful.
• 12:39
  Alignment transforms mundane work into steps toward a
• 12:42
  larger goal.
• 12:43
  Avoid compromising and undermining the impact, because you
• 12:48
  don't want to do that.
• 12:50
  Sacrificing principles for expediency may produce short-term
• 12:54
  wins, but it diminishes long-term influence and
• 12:59
  reputation.
• 13:00
  That's important to understand.
• 13:03
  Very, very important.
• 13:04
  Discipline maintains momentum.
• 13:06
  That's key.
• 13:06
  Discipline maintains momentum.
• 13:08
  Discipline maintains momentum.
• 13:10
  Momentum isn't random.
• 13:12
  It's earned.
• 13:13
  Daily consistency keeps energy moving forward.
• 13:17
  Compounding results over time.
• 13:20
  So as you get better with something, you'll
• 13:23
  notice that things take you less time in
• 13:25
  the future.
• 13:25
  That's a pretty powerful thing, guys.
• 13:28
  Integrity ensures decisions reflect priorities.
• 13:33
  Every choice you make should honor your stated
• 13:36
  goals and your values.
• 13:38
  Misaligned decisions create confusion and delay progress.
• 13:44
  Alignment amplifies every action.
• 13:47
  When your actions and values align, even small
• 13:50
  tasks carry weight.
• 13:52
  Impact scales naturally when purpose guides effort.
• 13:56
  Avoid energy-draining behaviors.
• 13:59
  Distractions, negativity, and reactive choices consume mental bandwidth.
• 14:05
  Cut these behaviors to maintain clarity and, of
• 14:09
  course, focus.
• 14:10
  Discipline always shapes identity.
• 14:13
  Your habits define who you are today and
• 14:16
  in the future.
• 14:18
  Repetition of disciplined behavior molds the character and
• 14:22
  projects the authority for whom you are or
• 14:25
  becoming.
• 14:26
  Integrity, guys, reduces internal conflict.
• 14:30
  Guilt and doubt dissolve when choice aligns with
• 14:33
  our inner core values.
• 14:36
  Inner peace is built in the quiet consistency
• 14:39
  of doing what's right.
• 14:41
  Not because we have to, but because we
• 14:45
  want to.
• 14:46
  I think that's a very important thing to
• 14:49
  understand.
• 14:50
  We do it because we want to do
• 14:52
  it, not because we have to do it.
• 14:55
  Does that make a little bit of sense?
• 14:57
  I mean, I'm hoping it does.
• 15:00
  All right.
• 15:03
  So let's move on to the next point,
• 15:04
  which is alignment produces confidence.
• 15:10
  When an engine, okay, has the correct amount
• 15:15
  of friction and velocity, do you know what
• 15:19
  happens?
• 15:20
  The motor moves efficiently with using the least
• 15:24
  amount of energy and causing the least amount
• 15:27
  of damage.
• 15:29
  Alignment produces confidence.
• 15:31
  When all the gears are aligned properly and
• 15:34
  with the right amount of friction, we get
• 15:36
  a smooth-oiled machine.
• 15:38
  If one of those cogs or one of
• 15:40
  those gears is a little bit out, the
• 15:44
  whole chain could break.
• 15:45
  Belt could break.
• 15:47
  Gears could break.
• 15:48
  Lots of stuff could happen.
• 15:50
  Confidence, guys, is born from knowing your actions
• 15:53
  reflect about your true intentions.
• 15:56
  Consistency and alignment reinforce self-assurance.
• 16:02
  Self-assurance.
• 16:02
  Avoid distractions that steal focus, social media, toxic
• 16:07
  conversations, and unnecessary tasks break the flow.
• 16:12
  Protect your bandwidth to preserve high impact.
• 16:23
  Discipline and integrity and alignment equals personal power.
• 16:29
  Mastering these creates a compounding effect.
• 16:38
  Compounding.
• 16:44
  That's pretty interesting.
• 16:48
  You gain control over time, influence, and outcomes.
• 16:55
  Unstoppable personal power emerges from deliberate value and
• 17:00
  the aligned action.
• 17:00
  Let's go back to that motor.
• 17:04
  So we think about the motor and we
• 17:06
  think about all the sprockets and all the
• 17:07
  gears.
• 17:09
  If something's unaligned, it's not going to work
• 17:12
  properly.
• 17:13
  Let me give you something maybe that makes
• 17:15
  a little more sense.
• 17:15
  How many of you out there bowl?
• 17:17
  I love to bowl.
• 17:17
  Okay.
• 17:18
  So when you bowl, there are lots of
• 17:21
  different motors that are in place to basically
• 17:24
  facilitate bowling.
• 17:27
  So we have one motor that actually is
• 17:30
  the pickup motor that takes the ball and
• 17:32
  basically picks it up and brings it back
• 17:34
  up the chute, right, to you, under the
• 17:36
  floor.
• 17:36
  There's another motor, which is basically the head
• 17:39
  motor, which basically carries the pins and brings
• 17:43
  them up and down.
• 17:45
  We also have another motor that is going
• 17:48
  around that's basically allowing the pins to shoot
• 17:51
  around.
• 17:51
  So when the pins come up and they
• 17:53
  get dropped back in, this thing kind of
• 17:54
  like brings them around and puts them into
• 17:56
  the right and goes to the right slot.
• 17:58
  So you got three motors on a bowling
• 17:59
  lane.
• 18:01
  Plus you got the motor up top.
• 18:04
  But the thing is, if any of those
• 18:07
  motors are not in alignment, forget the motor.
• 18:10
  Let's think about any of the processes.
• 18:12
  Let's think about the channel.
• 18:14
  So when a pin comes down, okay, and
• 18:17
  it's getting returned back to where it has
• 18:18
  to go, if one little thing is out
• 18:21
  of whack, that pin might not get in.
• 18:24
  The pin might go to the wrong part,
• 18:28
  and it could cause a problem.
• 18:29
  See, it's not what you see that causes
• 18:34
  the problem.
• 18:35
  It's the result of what we don't see.
• 18:37
  So I think that's a very important thing
• 18:41
  that a lot of us miss.
• 18:44
  They miss that whole concept that alignment is
• 18:48
  not just about us.
• 18:51
  It's about our environment.
• 18:56
  Wow, that's a pretty interesting thing, guys.
• 19:01
  That's a pretty interesting thing.
• 19:07
  And I got to tell you that this
• 19:09
  is something that a lot of people, they
• 19:12
  just don't realize it.
• 19:15
  They don't understand how it works.
• 19:18
  But I want to tell you it works
• 19:21
  in a very unique way, a very unique
• 19:25
  way.
• 19:27
  Because in that way it works, it becomes,
• 19:33
  let's say, very amazing for us, okay, very
• 19:38
  amazing for all of us to know that
• 19:43
  our alignment is truly what's keeping us, if
• 19:48
  it's not correct, or what's allowing us to
• 19:51
  be in flow.
• 19:53
  Let's think about a river for a minute,
• 19:55
  right?
• 19:56
  Let's suppose that that river, instead of flowing
• 19:58
  straight down because of an obstacle, it flows
• 20:01
  left or flows right.
• 20:02
  Well, that could cause a big avalanche.
• 20:05
  That could cause a big problem to the
• 20:08
  complete ecosystem of nature, all because something's in
• 20:12
  its way, like that bowling alley.
• 20:17
  If the motor is out of alignment that
• 20:21
  does the pickup on the ball, what could
• 20:23
  happen?
• 20:23
  Well, first, the balls won't get returned.
• 20:26
  Second, the balls could really jam up.
• 20:28
  And as they jam up, not only can
• 20:30
  they come up, they could cause more damage
• 20:32
  and cause something to back up into another
• 20:34
  gear for a motor that is working and
• 20:36
  cause that gear to snap or break.
• 20:41
  So our alignment is key to not only
• 20:44
  our success but other people's success.
• 20:46
  Does that make a little more sense?
• 20:48
  I'm hoping it does.
• 20:49
  So thinking about alignment, what else is in
• 20:52
  alignment?
• 20:53
  Well, I'm not a car engineer.
• 20:54
  I'm a regular engineer.
• 20:56
  If your tires are not aligned properly, from
• 20:59
  what I understand, you can really have some
• 21:02
  wear and tear on those tires.
• 21:04
  You can have some wear and tear, and
• 21:05
  that's a very big problem for a lot
• 21:09
  of people.
• 21:10
  They think that they don't need to get
• 21:13
  the tires aligned.
• 21:14
  But when you have your wheels rotated, they
• 21:17
  do an alignment.
• 21:19
  You can really damage the tires and how
• 21:22
  the tires work on your car.
• 21:24
  What else is aligned in your life?
• 21:27
  Well, we talked about bowling.
• 21:30
  We've talked about the car.
• 21:33
  How about when you, let's say, play soccer?
• 21:42
  If your foot is not aligned properly to
• 21:47
  the ball, to the goal, you're going to
• 21:51
  miss.
• 21:52
  So if your foot is misaligned, you're going
• 21:54
  to either fall or you're going to miss
• 21:56
  the ball.
• 21:56
  And if the foot and the ball is
• 21:59
  not aligned to the net, you're not going
• 22:01
  to make a shot.
• 22:03
  You're going to get it out of bounds.
• 22:06
  The other team is going to get the
• 22:07
  ball, and potentially you're going to have to
• 22:10
  get back on defense instead of being on
• 22:12
  offense.
• 22:13
  So alignment is something we have every day
• 22:15
  in our life.
• 22:17
  Another thing that has alignment in it is
• 22:19
  our balance, is our flow, is our energy.
• 22:24
  So our alignment comes from a lot of
• 22:27
  things.
• 22:27
  And what I've learned is that when something
• 22:30
  is out of alignment, don't try to force
• 22:33
  it in alignment if it doesn't go naturally.
• 22:36
  Let it go.
• 22:38
  Let it go.
• 22:40
  Let it flow like warm or cold water
• 22:44
  off your back in a shower.
• 22:48
  And so alignment is not just a rule.
• 22:53
  It's a strong guideline that helps us stay
• 22:58
  on track.
• 22:59
  If we didn't know about alignment, we'd always
• 23:03
  go out of bounds in a game.
• 23:05
  If we didn't know alignment, we'd constantly have
• 23:09
  to be replacing motors because one would be
• 23:12
  breaking the other one.
• 23:15
  And as you think about different things in
• 23:17
  life that have alignment, just looking at my
• 23:19
  desk, I have a stapler.
• 23:20
  And so the stapler, for example, if I
• 23:23
  was to take this piece of paper and
• 23:24
  I was to just put it there like
• 23:26
  this, you can hear that little snap.
• 23:29
  Because the paper was in alignment with the
• 23:34
  head of the stapler, it put a staple
• 23:37
  right through.
• 23:37
  You guys can't see probably, but it put
• 23:40
  an alignment through it.
• 23:42
  Another piece of alignment, I mean, just looking
• 23:44
  at my desk, other alignments.
• 23:45
  So we have my tape dispenser here, right?
• 23:49
  And so, first of all, the tape has
• 23:55
  to be aligned into the little center sprocket,
• 24:00
  or you can't load it back into the
• 24:01
  tape dispenser.
• 24:02
  Then you have to align the wheel, which
• 24:06
  has these two little, like a post that
• 24:08
  goes through its side.
• 24:09
  You drop it down, and then you can
• 24:12
  set it back in.
• 24:13
  And now that's in alignment, and now the
• 24:15
  tape can actually be dispensed.
• 24:20
  When something's in alignment, it's able to have
• 24:24
  the flow that it was designed to have.
• 24:28
  If something's out of alignment, then we get
• 24:31
  a whole challenge of things happening.
• 24:34
  We get things that are possibly going to
• 24:38
  break, like bridges, for example, right?
• 24:40
  I don't know if you know this, but
• 24:41
  the reason a lot of bridges don't break
• 24:43
  is because they're designed to bend and sway.
• 24:46
  Now, don't panic about that.
• 24:47
  If they didn't and they had a big
• 24:49
  wind coming at them, they would snap.
• 24:52
  So they have to have a little give,
• 24:54
  a little alignment in the way they flow.
• 24:57
  If they didn't, they'd snap.
• 25:00
  They'd break.
• 25:02
  So thinking about alignment one last time.
• 25:06
  You are in alignment with your life.
• 25:11
  If you're not in alignment with your life,
• 25:14
  you're going to hit roadblocks.
• 25:17
  Does that make sense?
• 25:19
  I'm hoping it does.
• 25:20
  If it doesn't make sense, then maybe you
• 25:23
  have to realize one thing.
• 25:25
  You know what that one thing is?
• 25:27
  That one thing is that your life needs
• 25:31
  to be in balance.
• 25:33
  If it's not, for any given reason, you
• 25:36
  will run into lots of pitfalls.
• 25:41
  I mean lots of them, not just one,
• 25:45
  lots of them.
• 25:46
  And I think that's an important thing for
• 25:48
  a lot of people to realize, that because
• 25:51
  we fall into a pitfall, we think that
• 25:54
  we are out of balance.
• 25:58
  That pitfall can sometimes give us the push
• 26:03
  to go around, because maybe if we didn't
• 26:06
  hit that pitfall, we might have stayed out
• 26:08
  of alignment.
• 26:09
  So by getting in that pitfall, we might
• 26:11
  actually get into alignment because we now changed
• 26:14
  our position.
• 26:14
  Does that make sense?
• 26:15
  I'm hoping it does.
• 26:18
  So this is a very interesting area, and
• 26:20
  it's one of my favorite areas, guys.
• 26:22
  So I want you to remember something as
• 26:26
  we're getting ready to close the show out
• 26:27
  for tonight.
• 26:29
  Remember, remember, remember.
• 26:32
  Clarity, clarity, clarity.
• 26:36
  Courage, courage, courage.
• 26:39
  And calmness, calmness, calmness.
• 26:45
  These three things are your daily tools.
• 26:49
  Now just because you can't pick them up,
• 26:51
  because you can't touch them, they're not tangible,
• 26:53
  that doesn't mean they're not a tool.
• 26:55
  Things we can't see but we can implement
• 26:58
  are still tools.
• 27:00
  It's not like it's something in a toolbox,
• 27:02
  right?
• 27:05
  Apply discipline, guys.
• 27:07
  Act with integrity always.
• 27:11
  And ensure alignment is present in every choice
• 27:16
  you make.
• 27:17
  The small steps that you make from the
• 27:22
  choices will compound into massive personal power.
• 27:33
  The small steps you make will compound into
• 27:37
  your personal massive power.
• 27:39
  That's amazing, guys.
