- 0:00Speaker 1: You've got to have your own list of whys.
- 0:03Speaker 2: One of the big thrust for success is to come
- 0:06Speaker 2: up with a strong enough why.
- 0:08Speaker 1: He who has a why can bear almost anyhow.
- 0:13Speaker 2: It's time for you to look inward and begin asking
- 0:17Speaker 2: yourself the big questions, who are you?
- 0:21Speaker 1: And what do you want? Work on your list of whys.
- 0:28Speaker 1: Here's what we learn.
- 0:28Speaker 2: If the why is powerful, the how is easy.
- 0:33Speaker 3: You're going to realize it one day that happiness was
- 0:36Speaker 3: never about your job, or your degree, or being in
- 0:39Speaker 3: a relationship. Happiness was never about following in the footsteps
- 0:43Speaker 3: of all of those who came before you. It was
- 0:46Speaker 3: never about being like the others. One day you're going
- 0:49Speaker 3: to see it that happiness was always about the discovery,
- 0:54Speaker 3: the hope, the listening to your heart and following it
- 0:59Speaker 3: wherever it chose to go. Happiness was always about being
- 1:03Speaker 3: kinder to yourself. It was always about embracing the person
- 1:06Speaker 3: you were becoming. One day you will understand that happiness
- 1:12Speaker 3: was always about learning how to live with yourself, that
- 1:15Speaker 3: your happiness was never in the hands of others. One
- 1:18Speaker 3: day you will realize that true happiness comes from within
- 1:22Speaker 3: and no external factors can define it. It was always
- 1:26Speaker 3: about you. It was always about you.
- 1:30Speaker 4: I say, chase your dreams, man, Do that thing, man
- 1:33Speaker 4: that keeps you up at night, that thing that bothers you,
- 1:37Speaker 4: man that makes you trip.
- 1:38Speaker 5: You can't quit thinking about it.
- 1:40Speaker 4: You always that that thing, man, that you wake up
- 1:44Speaker 4: in the middle of the night. You got a new idea.
- 1:46Speaker 4: That's what you got to chase, because anything else, you're
- 1:50Speaker 4: gonna forever be sad. Man. If you don't chase that dream,
- 1:54Speaker 4: you're gonna forever be miserable man.
- 1:58Speaker 6: To get anything of value, you have to sacrifice.
- 2:03Speaker 1: Oh, what is your purpose? Why are you here?
- 2:07Speaker 5: It's just too hard?
- 2:09Speaker 6: Do you know that the hardest thing to do than
- 2:12Speaker 6: the right thing to do are usually the same thing.
- 2:17Speaker 1: Nothing that has meaning?
- 2:19Speaker 5: It's easy.
- 2:20Speaker 7: You asked for strength, and you receive challenges to become stronger.
- 2:26Speaker 7: You asked for a positive mind, and you were thrown
- 2:29Speaker 7: into darkness to find your own light.
- 2:33Speaker 8: You see, everything has.
- 2:34Speaker 7: Its purpose, So only focus on improving yourself.
- 2:39Speaker 8: That's all you can ever do.
- 2:43Speaker 6: Figure out what you want, ignore the opinions of others.
- 2:47Speaker 6: Do so much work. It would be unreasonable that you
- 2:49Speaker 6: fail realize it never mattered to begin with help others.
- 2:53Speaker 6: Once you get there, you've already achieved the things you
- 2:56Speaker 6: said would make you successful.
- 2:58Speaker 8: You did all you have. You're gonna get massed potential back,
- 3:02Speaker 8: and then who knows what could come. That's a beautiful thing.
- 3:06Speaker 8: If you don't show up, guys, you know the outcome.
- 3:08Speaker 9: You never get the job, never get the part, small
- 3:12Speaker 9: down payment, and you're willing to pay every day to
- 3:15Speaker 9: the large investment of a greater life.
- 3:18Speaker 8: You only got one life, Guys. Again, if you work
- 3:21Speaker 8: it right, you only need one, he.
- 3:24Speaker 2: Said, Jim, if you had enough reasons, you could do
- 3:27Speaker 2: the most incredible things.
- 3:28Speaker 1: I never forgot how you put that.
- 3:32Speaker 2: If you have enough reasons, see reasons will change your
- 3:39Speaker 2: whole life, mister Shelf said to me, he said, mister Own,
- 3:44Speaker 2: I think you've got plenty of intelligence. You've got plenty
- 3:46Speaker 2: of talent, You've got plenty of ability. Probably what you
- 3:49Speaker 2: lack is plenty of reasons.
- 3:52Speaker 6: Bascha said, I know of no better life purpose than
- 3:55Speaker 6: to perish in attempting the great and impossible. The fact
- 3:58Speaker 6: that something seems impossible shouldn't be a reason to not
- 4:01Speaker 6: pursue it. That's exactly what makes it worth pursuing. Why
- 4:04Speaker 6: would the courage and greatness be if success was certain
- 4:07Speaker 6: and there was no risk. The only true failure is
- 4:10Speaker 6: shrinking away from life's challenges.
- 4:13Speaker 10: I don't really understand what my life's task as I
- 4:15Speaker 10: call that a master your life's task. Please help me, Robert.
- 4:19Speaker 10: You have to be patient. It's not going to come
- 4:21Speaker 10: like a light bulb in your head.
- 4:22Speaker 11: Ah.
- 4:22Speaker 10: I was meant to do this. I was meant to
- 4:24Speaker 10: write the forty eight Lass of Power. That's not how
- 4:26Speaker 10: it works. So I like to tell people to go
- 4:28Speaker 10: back to their early childhood memories of things that really
- 4:32Speaker 10: excited them before they got mixed up with parents and
- 4:35Speaker 10: teachers and all that other people telling them stuff.
- 4:38Speaker 12: Because what people don't get is one day that thing's
- 4:41Speaker 12: going to come up. But we don't take a second
- 4:45Speaker 12: to realize. The purpose is always there. The purpose never
- 4:49Speaker 12: leaves us, because the very purpose is you.
- 4:54Speaker 2: But if the why isn't strong, if your goals aren't powerful,
- 5:00Speaker 2: if the vision isn't clear, the old prophet said, without
- 5:02Speaker 2: a vision, we die without a vision, we perish without
- 5:05Speaker 2: a dream.
- 5:06Speaker 1: Or nothing. Now is the best time to start, Not tomorrow,
- 5:11Speaker 1: not next week, not until next month, not next year.
- 5:14Speaker 5: Do you have to start right now.
- 5:16Speaker 2: Get out there and chase your dreams, find a venture, fall.
- 5:19Speaker 1: In love, Take rich because trust me, worth it our problems.
- 5:22Speaker 8: You could have anything you want if you want it
- 5:25Speaker 8: badly enough.
- 5:26Speaker 1: You can be anything you want, to be anything you.
- 5:28Speaker 9: Said eld to accomplished if you hold that desire with
- 5:31Speaker 9: singleness of purpose.
- 5:33Speaker 2: How come you're up so early? Say, if you were
- 5:35Speaker 2: headed where I'm at it, you'd be up early too.
- 5:37Speaker 2: If you were going to meet who I'm going.
- 5:39Speaker 1: To meet, you'd be up early.
- 5:40Speaker 2: If it was going to stack up for you, like
- 5:42Speaker 2: it's stacking up for me, you'd be getting that early.
- 5:46Speaker 6: You should basically be that the person that your youngest
- 5:48Speaker 6: self wanted as a role model. Brave, courageous, earnest, honest,
- 5:55Speaker 6: virtuous like on fire. Does this quote from the ancient
- 5:59Speaker 6: Greeks that says, live as though all your ancestors were
- 6:02Speaker 6: living a gain through you.
- 6:04Speaker 8: You got to find your why. And your why is
- 6:06Speaker 8: what's going to start you.
- 6:07Speaker 13: And so for a lot of you, you're not doing
- 6:09Speaker 13: nothing because you don't have any purpose right now.
- 6:10Speaker 8: You don't have a sense of purpose.
- 6:12Speaker 13: You're not waking up for nobody, And I need you
- 6:15Speaker 13: to get that engine.
- 6:15Speaker 5: I need that.
- 6:16Speaker 13: Dry because you know what to do, you're the right
- 6:19Speaker 13: person to do it, but you just can't seem to
- 6:20Speaker 13: get out of it. You can't seem to do what
- 6:22Speaker 13: you're supposed to do. Every time you come up against
- 6:23Speaker 13: a trial or a tribulation, you let it stop.
- 6:26Speaker 1: What is the antidote to worry?
- 6:29Speaker 14: What do you think it is, Well, it's simply this.
- 6:32Speaker 14: It is purposeful action. The only real antidote to worry
- 6:36Speaker 14: is purposeful action. Everything that gets you to the point
- 6:39Speaker 14: where you can take purposeful action, where you can move and,
- 6:42Speaker 14: as Shakespeare says, take arms against the sea of troubles,
- 6:46Speaker 14: and by so doing in them. Anything that gets you
- 6:49Speaker 14: to the point where you can take purposeful action will
- 6:51Speaker 14: eliminate the worry. Why, because of what we call the
- 6:54Speaker 14: law of substitution.
- 6:56Speaker 15: When you had this day, when you have reached the
- 6:58Speaker 15: hell top, deciding on next jobs, next steps, careers, further education,
- 7:07Speaker 15: you would rather find purpose than a job or a career.
- 7:13Speaker 15: Purpose crosses disciplines. Purpose is an essential element of you.
- 7:19Speaker 15: It is the reason you are on the planet at
- 7:21Speaker 15: this particular time in history. Your very existence is wrapped
- 7:25Speaker 15: up in the things you are here to fulfill whatever
- 7:28Speaker 15: you choose for a career path. Remember the struggles along
- 7:32Speaker 15: the way are only meant to shape you for your purpose.
- 7:36Speaker 16: The only way to discover what your wires or what
- 7:40Speaker 16: you love is you must experience as many different things
- 7:45Speaker 16: as you can.
- 7:46Speaker 8: You can't just read about something.
- 7:48Speaker 16: You can't just hear someone's talk about something.
- 7:51Speaker 8: You must experience.
- 7:52Speaker 16: As many different things as you can.
- 7:54Speaker 8: That is the only way.
- 7:56Speaker 16: Otherwise you fall into the trap of doing something you
- 7:58Speaker 16: don't love because you ever actually tried it beforehand.
- 8:02Speaker 12: So if you wake up in the morning and you
- 8:04Speaker 12: don't want to do something, you don't care enough about yourself?
- 8:08Speaker 5: Man, why am I not doing this for myself?
- 8:11Speaker 12: Because that is the number one purpose in life is
- 8:16Speaker 12: to better oneself.
- 8:18Speaker 16: The great line, it's the you know, if you want
- 8:20Speaker 16: to find out what you should do in life, what
- 8:25Speaker 16: do you think about all the time?
- 8:27Speaker 5: That's your God.
- 8:29Speaker 1: See, you can do anything.
- 8:30Speaker 2: You can get up any hour, read any book, take
- 8:32Speaker 2: any class, make any change, develop any skill, do any discipline.
- 8:36Speaker 2: And my personal question to you is why not you?
- 8:41Speaker 9: You might think that bed's warm, it feels all comfortable.
- 8:44Speaker 9: You come here, you kill it, give it everything you have,
- 8:47Speaker 9: leave it, all here.
- 8:49Speaker 8: The warmth you feel after that.
- 8:52Speaker 9: Second to none man, second to none, No, she can
- 8:54Speaker 9: provide that comfort for you. When you give it all here, guys,
- 8:58Speaker 9: and you leave it all here, you are your weakest states,
- 9:02Speaker 9: bottom of the barrel. What's about to happen? Your greatest triumph?
- 9:07Speaker 9: You kill yourself on pride in here, leave nothing spared.
- 9:13Speaker 9: What's gonna come? The growth of opportunity.
- 9:17Speaker 17: I have never met anybody who became incredibly successful in
- 9:22Speaker 17: any area of their life until they had suffered, had sweated,
- 9:26Speaker 17: had sacrificed, had kept their focus, had through tears and
- 9:31Speaker 17: trials and tests. And if you have a dream and
- 9:34Speaker 17: you commit to it, and well, come to pash.
- 9:40Speaker 8: What's your why?
- 9:41Speaker 5: Hey?
- 9:41Speaker 8: If I don't give y'all nothing else, you better start that.
- 9:43Speaker 8: What's your why? You know why? I do what I do,
- 9:45Speaker 8: and I do it.
- 9:46Speaker 11: So passionate because my grandfather was a high school dropout.
- 9:48Speaker 11: My father was a high school dropout. I was a
- 9:50Speaker 11: high school dropout, and were about to break the cycle.
- 9:53Speaker 11: I do what I do so my son won't have
- 9:55Speaker 11: to go through what I went through.
- 9:57Speaker 8: I'm about to give everything I got and I won't know. Oh,
- 10:00Speaker 8: if I'll get another gig. It won't happy to do
- 10:02Speaker 8: with the fact that and put everything.
- 10:04Speaker 18: On the field.
- 10:06Speaker 8: What's your wah, Why don't you wake up in the morning.
- 10:11Speaker 19: Problem with the pursuit of happiness is that when life
- 10:15Speaker 19: storms come along, happiness disappears and then you're left with nothing.
- 10:20Speaker 19: So you need to pursue something that's deeper than happiness.
- 10:23Speaker 19: And if happiness comes along, well, then hooray for you.
- 10:26Speaker 19: You don't want to despise it because it's fleeting, but
- 10:29Speaker 19: it's much better to pursue things that are meaningful than
- 10:31Speaker 19: things that make you happy. It's deeper, and it orients
- 10:35Speaker 19: you more appropriately in it, and it keeps you centered
- 10:38Speaker 19: in your own life. It makes you more useful for
- 10:40Speaker 19: your family and your community. And it's a relief to
- 10:43Speaker 19: young people to know that the baseline conditions of life
- 10:46Speaker 19: are difficult, but then you can still prevail.
- 10:49Speaker 10: Your purpose in life is something that you're born with.
- 10:52Speaker 10: It's like your destiny. This is what you are meant
- 10:54Speaker 10: to accomplish. So we humans are not born with that
- 10:57Speaker 10: purpose engraved in our heads. You know, animals don't wake
- 11:00Speaker 10: up and go what am I going to do today?
- 11:02Speaker 10: I can go here, I can hunt for this down.
- 11:04Speaker 10: I'm I can hun for that, anam I can eat this? No,
- 11:05Speaker 10: they don't. They operate by instinct. They have a purpose,
- 11:08Speaker 10: it's automatic almost. We have to find our purpose and
- 11:12Speaker 10: because it's so deepen and so important that if we
- 11:14Speaker 10: don't find it'll find it somewhere else. It needs something
- 11:18Speaker 10: to live forward.
- 11:19Speaker 20: You know what I want you to understand. Everything you
- 11:21Speaker 20: say yes to is you saying no to something else.
- 11:25Speaker 20: There is nothing that you say yes to that doesn't
- 11:27Speaker 20: cost you something. And you need to pay attention to
- 11:31Speaker 20: what you're saying yes to because you may actually be
- 11:33Speaker 20: saying no.
- 11:33Speaker 5: To your future.
- 11:36Speaker 1: Because people who achieve greatness.
- 11:39Speaker 20: Make a decision to live a life that is self
- 11:41Speaker 20: sacrificing and that has deferred gratification. Just because it brings
- 11:48Speaker 20: you pleasure doesn't mean.
- 11:51Speaker 5: It gives you purpose.
- 11:55Speaker 20: If you keep living your life for what you want today,
- 12:01Speaker 20: you will not be creating the life you want tomorrow.
- 12:06Speaker 2: One of the major reasons for setting goals is for
- 12:09Speaker 2: what they make of you in achieving them.
- 12:15Speaker 21: Hey, you know, sometimes you gotta go why, You've got
- 12:20Speaker 21: to go far and you have to do something crazy
- 12:24Speaker 21: to get somewhere new or do something special It's just life.
- 12:28Speaker 8: The best things, the best things.
- 12:31Speaker 21: They're not easy, and hey, you might feel improbable, it
- 12:34Speaker 21: might feel impossible, but you gotta do Trust me on
- 12:38Speaker 21: this one.
- 12:39Speaker 8: I think it'll work out. Give it a try, all.
- 12:41Speaker 22: Right, And I want to talk to you about discovering
- 12:45Speaker 22: your purpose. Do you know when you discovering your purpose,
- 12:49Speaker 22: that's when your life really begins. Think about it. You
- 12:53Speaker 22: know it's been said there's two important days in your life.
- 12:55Speaker 22: The day you're born and the day you discover what
- 12:58Speaker 22: you are born. That's why are you out of bed
- 13:01Speaker 22: in the morning. It's why you get up and get going.
- 13:03Speaker 22: You have a purpose in life. Now without a purpose,
- 13:06Speaker 22: you're just wandering around no direction. See, I honestly believe
- 13:11Speaker 22: every one of us are hardwired to do something. If
- 13:14Speaker 22: there's something we've got a talent and ability within us
- 13:17Speaker 22: that will just blossom when we find.
- 13:20Speaker 1: It, you know you should risk it, do some crazy
- 13:25Speaker 1: take a chance.
- 13:26Speaker 23: Because I know that tumfort is great, and the couch
- 13:29Speaker 23: is great, and your bed is great. But I promise
- 13:31Speaker 23: you somewhere, somewhere far, some more wild, somewhere you feel lost,
- 13:36Speaker 23: you might find yourself.
- 13:38Speaker 24: I don't know, Shu what's the one question you can
- 13:42Speaker 24: ask yourself to help you find your purpose? The one
- 13:46Speaker 24: question to ask yourself right now, the only time to
- 13:48Speaker 24: ask it is right now that will find your purpose
- 13:51Speaker 24: in life?
- 13:51Speaker 1: Is what is the next right thing in front of me?
- 13:55Speaker 18: Now?
- 13:55Speaker 24: We do not figure out our purpose and by trying
- 13:58Speaker 24: to project ourselves into the future and coming up with
- 14:02Speaker 24: some grandiose.
- 14:02Speaker 1: Plan, that's not how it's done.
- 14:04Speaker 24: You have to understand that is constantly orchestrating everything perfectly.
- 14:08Speaker 1: To put you on the path that will lead to
- 14:11Speaker 1: that ultimate goal.
- 14:12Speaker 24: But the way that you get there is step by step,
- 14:15Speaker 24: the next step, the step in front of you. So
- 14:17Speaker 24: don't ask yourself what am I meant to be doing
- 14:19Speaker 24: five ten years from now?
- 14:21Speaker 1: Ask yourself, what can I do to be useful at.
- 14:24Speaker 24: This very moment, as small as it seems, as mundane
- 14:27Speaker 24: as it seems, But that is the direction. That's the
- 14:30Speaker 24: step that will get you to the end goal where
- 14:33Speaker 24: you will be able to look back in retrospect and
- 14:36Speaker 24: see that you've lived a life of purpose.
- 14:38Speaker 1: Is there a version of yourself that's better than you
- 14:41Speaker 1: are right now?
- 14:42Speaker 25: And most people hopefully would say yes, it's like great,
- 14:46Speaker 25: accept that person to me. When we talk about the authenticity,
- 14:51Speaker 25: accepting yourself is accepting the ideal that we can live
- 14:53Speaker 25: up to, and that's that is what we accept, not
- 14:57Speaker 25: the shitty version of that that we are today.
- 15:00Speaker 13: I need you to confront you because you don't want
- 15:02Speaker 13: holding you up. I need you to confront you. I
- 15:05Speaker 13: need you to look in.
- 15:06Speaker 8: The mirror and tell you are not gonna do me
- 15:08Speaker 8: like this no more. You're not gonna continue to sabotage me.
- 15:12Speaker 8: You're not. You're not gonna keep procrastinating.
- 15:15Speaker 17: I need you.
- 15:16Speaker 8: You're not.
- 15:17Speaker 2: But if you don't get busy and work on it,
- 15:18Speaker 2: sure enough the time will pass, and sure enough, five
- 15:21Speaker 2: years from now, you will wind up where you don't
- 15:22Speaker 2: want to be, wearing what you don't want to wear,
- 15:25Speaker 2: driving what.
- 15:25Speaker 1: You don't want to drive, being what you don't want
- 15:27Speaker 1: to be. Now's the time to fix it.
- 15:31Speaker 8: You must be able to see it, mister Anderson. You
- 15:34Speaker 8: must know it by now. You can't win. It's pointless
- 15:36Speaker 8: to keep fighting. Why mister Anderson, Why why do you persist?
- 15:47Speaker 5: Because I'm chust him.
- 15:50Speaker 26: In twenty seventeen, char Leclair lost his father, and in
- 15:53Speaker 26: these final days he told his father a white lie
- 15:57Speaker 26: that he'd made it to Formula one, signed the contract.
- 16:01Speaker 8: He wasn't true then, but.
- 16:03Speaker 26: He's driving has made it true now.
- 16:06Speaker 8: And look what he's done with the opportunity.
- 16:09Speaker 26: The grandstance he saw built as a kids growing up
- 16:13Speaker 26: now rise for him. And for the first time in
- 16:17Speaker 26: ninety three years, this fabled.
- 16:19Speaker 8: Race is won by one of their own.
- 16:22Speaker 26: Chao LaClair wins the Monaco Grand Prix.
- 16:26Speaker 8: We want it finally.
- 16:33Speaker 6: There's that quote about a the ironic tragedy is that
- 16:37Speaker 6: life has to be lived forward but only makes sense
- 16:39Speaker 6: and reverse.
- 16:41Speaker 1: Yeah, ironic tragedy. Who said that you can't quit?
- 16:46Speaker 2: Man?
- 16:47Speaker 8: You got to stay with it.
- 16:49Speaker 5: Somebody having it way harder than you, and they didn't
- 16:52Speaker 5: give up.
- 16:53Speaker 8: We all think about quitting.
- 16:54Speaker 27: It's hard.
- 16:55Speaker 19: There's gonna be days when you're aching and tired and sore,
- 16:58Speaker 19: and there's people in your family that are and you're
- 17:00Speaker 19: cynical and bitter and you need a reason to get off.
- 17:03Speaker 5: The purpose is always there. The purpose never leaves us
- 17:07Speaker 5: because the very purpose is you. You are always the purpose.
- 17:12Speaker 1: I don't really care what you do. It doesn't matter
- 17:14Speaker 1: what you're doing. It's you that counts.
- 17:16Speaker 22: And the more you understand you, the better your results
- 17:19Speaker 22: you're going to get.
- 17:20Speaker 1: You have to be crazy enough to think that it's possible.
- 17:23Speaker 28: Sometimes you have to create a delusion, even if you
- 17:26Speaker 28: got to lie yourself into believing.
- 17:28Speaker 1: That's how you do something worthwhile.
- 17:30Speaker 8: You have to believe it's possible, complete delusion.
- 17:33Speaker 18: You got to believe the delusion because it's only delusional
- 17:37Speaker 18: until it works.
- 17:38Speaker 1: Your mind is designed to help you.
- 17:42Speaker 8: Get what you want.
- 17:43Speaker 14: You just have to be willing to believe it's possible.
- 17:47Speaker 28: And when you believe something is possible, everything else will
- 17:50Speaker 28: figure itself out.
- 17:53Speaker 14: Now we come to the final question, what is the
- 17:56Speaker 14: purpose of life? What is the purpose of your life?
- 17:59Speaker 14: Why are you here? Why do you exist at all?
- 18:02Speaker 14: Why do you get up in the morning, Why do
- 18:03Speaker 14: you have a life? Why are you on the earth?
- 18:06Speaker 14: Is it simply to be born, to grow up, to work,
- 18:09Speaker 14: to reproduce, to die or is there something else? In
- 18:12Speaker 14: my estimation, there is something else, something far more important.
- 18:17Speaker 14: In this session, I want to talk to you about
- 18:19Speaker 14: my discoveries and my thoughts about what the true purpose.
- 18:21Speaker 1: Of life is.
- 18:22Speaker 8: The two purpose of.
- 18:23Speaker 14: Life in my estimation, is to find a mission. Some
- 18:28Speaker 14: of the wisest men and women of this century and
- 18:30Speaker 14: of previous centuries have looked at this whole idea of
- 18:33Speaker 14: why a human being is put on this earth, and
- 18:36Speaker 14: they've come to the conclusion that we have put on
- 18:38Speaker 14: this earth to fulfill our potential by finding our true
- 18:42Speaker 14: mission in life. Amid Fox calls this your heart's desire.
- 18:46Speaker 10: If you don't know where you want to go, who
- 18:49Speaker 10: you want to be, you eventually just float around.
- 18:51Speaker 18: Then you eventually crash.
- 18:53Speaker 28: Most people walk around with no goals, no ambition. They
- 18:56Speaker 28: don't know where they're going. It's like a ship with
- 18:58Speaker 28: no destination. If you don't know where you're going, you'll
- 19:00Speaker 28: never get there.
- 19:01Speaker 8: Ask yourself this.
- 19:02Speaker 29: If I had a gun to your head and I said,
- 19:04Speaker 29: pick the one thing that you want to do in
- 19:06Speaker 29: life that would just make you absolutely happy, would give
- 19:09Speaker 29: you a sense of fulfillment and peace of mind. Never
- 19:12Speaker 29: mind it it's not going to make you money. The
- 19:13Speaker 29: thing that you would do if money was not an.
- 19:15Speaker 8: Issue, what is it?
- 19:17Speaker 28: Once you know where you want to go, then you
- 19:19Speaker 28: direct your time, your energy, and your attention to the
- 19:22Speaker 28: execution and the achievement of that goal. It's all about intention.
- 19:26Speaker 28: But most people walk around in life thinking that life
- 19:29Speaker 28: is just a big.
- 19:29Speaker 1: Fat lottery and it's just not that case.
- 19:32Speaker 28: Those that live by the lottery of life most likely
- 19:34Speaker 28: end up losing.
- 19:36Speaker 1: Now here's the next exercise.
- 19:39Speaker 2: Now I want you to answer this question, what kind
- 19:41Speaker 2: of person must I become to achieve all I want?
- 19:45Speaker 1: And I'll give you time to write that down.
- 19:46Speaker 2: Then what kind of person must I become to achieve
- 19:50Speaker 2: all I want? What you become helps you to achieve,
- 19:53Speaker 2: and what you achieve helped.
- 19:54Speaker 1: You to become.
- 19:55Speaker 2: And the more you become, the more you can achieve,
- 19:57Speaker 2: and the more you achieve, the more you can become.
- 19:59Speaker 1: Who knows which affects the other the most?
- 20:02Speaker 2: So now just write this exercise, start with a few
- 20:05Speaker 2: sentences your concept of the person you think you must
- 20:08Speaker 2: become to achieve what you want. Time for a little
- 20:11Speaker 2: truth here. Maybe you need to become much wiser than
- 20:14Speaker 2: you are at the moment. You need to become stronger,
- 20:17Speaker 2: you need to have better health. Maybe you need a
- 20:19Speaker 2: little coaching to really become the person I want to become.
- 20:22Speaker 1: I'm going to have to have some coaching.
- 20:23Speaker 2: Physical coaching, spiritual coaching, developing skills coaching to be the
- 20:28Speaker 2: influence you want to be.
- 20:30Speaker 1: You got to build an incredible reputation.
- 20:32Speaker 2: What kind of person must I be to attract all
- 20:35Speaker 2: that I want in my life and the people that
- 20:38Speaker 2: I want and the opportunities that I want.
- 20:42Speaker 6: Jimmy Cobb broke my brain with this one. Everyone is
- 20:46Speaker 6: jealous of what you've got, No one is jealous of
- 20:49Speaker 6: how you got it.
- 20:52Speaker 1: The man says, I will climb the mountain.
- 20:55Speaker 2: They've told me it's too high, it's too far, it's
- 20:57Speaker 2: too rocky, it's too difficult, it's never been done. But
- 21:00Speaker 2: it's my mountain. I will climb it pretty soon. You'll
- 21:03Speaker 2: see me waiting from the top. Or did it on
- 21:06Speaker 2: the side because I ain't coming back?
- 21:11Speaker 1: That is the definition promise yourself.
- 21:16Speaker 27: You really did.
- 21:19Speaker 2: I asked the kids how long should a baby try
- 21:21Speaker 2: to learn how to walk?
- 21:25Speaker 8: How long?
- 21:25Speaker 2: How long would you give your average baby before you
- 21:27Speaker 2: shut them off?
- 21:28Speaker 1: How long? See any of mines in the world would say,
- 21:33Speaker 1: you're crazy. My baby's going to keep trying until it learns.
- 21:36Speaker 5: How to walk.
- 21:37Speaker 1: What imagining for you?
- 21:41Speaker 30: What if you did it? What if you actually did it?
- 21:44Speaker 30: How do you think you'd feel? I mean, just for
- 21:46Speaker 30: a minute, think about what your life would look like?
- 21:49Speaker 30: If you hit every goal that you have, if you
- 21:51Speaker 30: actually went out into everything you said you were going
- 21:56Speaker 30: to do, what would your life look like when you'll
- 21:59Speaker 30: get to the.
- 21:59Speaker 13: Point where it hurt real bad, when you get to
- 22:02Speaker 13: the point you can't take it no more. When you
- 22:04Speaker 13: get to that point, you cannot quit doing the process.
- 22:07Speaker 8: You cannot give up.
- 22:09Speaker 31: But once you realize you're not gonna be around for
- 22:12Speaker 31: our life, I think that's what makes life so much
- 22:15Speaker 31: a gold. One day you'll eat your last meal, smell
- 22:19Speaker 31: your last flower, hug your friend for the very last time.
- 22:22Speaker 31: You might not notice the last time. So that's why you
- 22:24Speaker 31: should do everything you love with passion. You know, treasure
- 22:28Speaker 31: is a few years you've got because that's all there is.
- 22:33Speaker 8: Inside.
- 22:33Speaker 1: We grow, We start from here.
- 22:35Speaker 8: And it comes out.
- 22:36Speaker 9: This workout is called victorial pride, chess work.
- 22:40Speaker 1: Out the private within.
- 22:41Speaker 8: It's gonna give birth to.
- 22:42Speaker 9: The strength and the capability of the fundamental structure that
- 22:45Speaker 9: we're gonna achieve this stuff. And from within, we're not
- 22:48Speaker 9: worried about the sun, the clouds, the fucking people in
- 22:50Speaker 9: the parking lots.
- 22:52Speaker 8: Worry about our mission.
- 22:53Speaker 5: At hand, and we're gonna achieve that mission.
- 22:56Speaker 8: I believe you are purpose. I believe you are purpose.
- 22:59Speaker 8: You're it for a purpose.
- 23:01Speaker 32: Like we know the statistics, it's like a zero percent
- 23:03Speaker 32: chance of you being you.
- 23:05Speaker 8: You are that.
- 23:06Speaker 32: So when you operate from maryth it gives you that
- 23:07Speaker 32: confidence that I am that It's not something I've search for.
- 23:11Speaker 32: You can take your life wherever you want to take it.
- 23:13Speaker 32: What you're looking for is placement, right. It's like, so
- 23:16Speaker 32: for me, rehab time is not my purpose, it's my placement.
- 23:21Speaker 32: I can take Trent to down the street and go
- 23:25Speaker 32: impact lives because I am purpose right football. If my
- 23:29Speaker 32: mom is right back, then I could use that platform
- 23:32Speaker 32: to be who I am.
- 23:33Speaker 8: So you can take your life anywhere.
- 23:35Speaker 32: And I want people to know that because some people
- 23:36Speaker 32: think when you lose your dream or you lose something,
- 23:38Speaker 32: that it's over.
- 23:40Speaker 8: But you didn't lose who you are.
- 23:41Speaker 32: You lost that thing, that placement.
- 23:44Speaker 1: What shall I do well for progress? You must decide.
- 23:52Speaker 2: The best advice I can give you came from a
- 23:53Speaker 2: wealthy friend of mine who said.
- 23:56Speaker 1: If it's easy, do it easy.
- 23:58Speaker 2: If it's hard, do it are, just get it done.
- 24:04Speaker 2: If you went home tonight and in the next few
- 24:07Speaker 2: days cleaned up a whole list of decisions that might furnish.
- 24:10Speaker 1: Enough inspiration for the next ten years.
- 24:14Speaker 2: I found this out many times, after you've decided, getting
- 24:17Speaker 2: on with it is easier than deciding. Sometimes decision is
- 24:20Speaker 2: the tempest one. Here's the next emotion, desire wanting too
- 24:26Speaker 2: bad enough, And I don't know how to tell you
- 24:31Speaker 2: to want to.
- 24:32Speaker 1: That's something you've got to come up with. There's two
- 24:35Speaker 1: things I know about desire. Number One, it comes from inside,
- 24:38Speaker 1: not outside. You don't send off for it.
- 24:43Speaker 14: Your heart's desire is something that is placed deep down
- 24:46Speaker 14: inside you, maybe even before you're born, and it's something
- 24:50Speaker 14: that calls to you and sings to you and lures
- 24:52Speaker 14: you on throughout your life. And the reason that we
- 24:54Speaker 14: say that only one or two or five out of
- 24:57Speaker 14: one hundred people fulfill their potential in any given generations
- 25:01Speaker 14: is because most people ignore the callings of his heart's desire.
- 25:05Speaker 14: They push it aside, they ignore it, They pretend it
- 25:07Speaker 14: isn't there. They get involved in bills and families and
- 25:09Speaker 14: business and careers, and this tugs at them. Sometimes they
- 25:13Speaker 14: don't get into it until later on in life. That
- 25:15Speaker 14: every single person has the ability to establish for themselves
- 25:20Speaker 14: a mission.
- 25:20Speaker 1: And on my list of things.
- 25:21Speaker 2: Now I put everything, little things as well as major things.
- 25:24Speaker 2: It doesn't matter how small it is, it goes on
- 25:26Speaker 2: my list. I used to just put major things, cars, homes.
- 25:29Speaker 2: I don't do that anymore. I now looked my list
- 25:32Speaker 2: with everything everything. See, we all grow from two experiences.
- 25:38Speaker 2: One is called the pain of losing. The other one
- 25:40Speaker 2: is called the joy of winning.
- 25:43Speaker 8: My coach told me.
- 25:44Speaker 33: Coach Smith told me, I'll never be nothing from that
- 25:48Speaker 33: day forward. I made a promise that I will give
- 25:51Speaker 33: it everything I got. I'm ready to die for what
- 25:54Speaker 33: I had to I had to succeed. I have to
- 25:56Speaker 33: give it everything I got. That way, I'm a winner,
- 25:58Speaker 33: no matter.
- 25:58Speaker 1: What they say.
- 26:01Speaker 9: The Gray's achievement of somebody comes right after their worst defeat.
- 26:06Speaker 8: When they hit rock bottom, hit the bottom of the barrel.
- 26:08Speaker 8: They had nothing left. Everyone's giving up on them.
- 26:11Speaker 9: They've lost all their worldly possessions, the dead broken on
- 26:15Speaker 9: their back. It's at that point, guys, when everything's lost,
- 26:20Speaker 9: that everything can be gained. There's no more ego there
- 26:23Speaker 9: is there they let go of you.
- 26:25Speaker 8: Know the you know what if I fail?
- 26:28Speaker 9: What if it doesn't work, what if I don't like
- 26:29Speaker 9: where this person rejects me, the animosity, the pressures of society,
- 26:33Speaker 9: let it all go, because they've lost it all. They're
- 26:35Speaker 9: just now left with the intestinal fortitude.
- 26:37Speaker 8: The pride within.
- 26:38Speaker 9: Do I want to stay on the bottomless barrel or
- 26:40Speaker 9: I climb the fuck out of his hole?
- 26:43Speaker 2: Check the size of your goals and the kinds of goals,
- 26:48Speaker 2: how big they are, what kind they are, affects you.
- 26:55Speaker 2: And here's one of the important phrases of the evening.
- 26:57Speaker 2: Your goals are affecting you whatever they are.
- 27:01Speaker 1: Your goals affect your attitude, personality.
- 27:04Speaker 2: Your goals affect the way you walk, the way you talk,
- 27:06Speaker 2: the way you dress. All day long. We're being affected
- 27:12Speaker 2: by our goals. Now, some people have goals, but they
- 27:16Speaker 2: have such lousy goal. I ask a guy one time,
- 27:20Speaker 2: what are your goals for this month? The guy said, look,
- 27:22Speaker 2: if I could just scrape up enough money to pay
- 27:24Speaker 2: these lousy bills, that was this goal. I'm not saying
- 27:29Speaker 2: it isn't the goal. It's a goal, but it's such
- 27:31Speaker 2: a lousy goal. The effect is bad.
- 27:35Speaker 8: So what is it?
- 27:35Speaker 1: We say?
- 27:36Speaker 34: We're all trying to achieve in life, what are we pursuing?
- 27:40Speaker 1: Happiness is usually the word.
- 27:42Speaker 34: I propose this forget happiness, how about go for joy.
- 27:48Speaker 34: Happiness is usually a destination, a place we think if
- 27:51Speaker 34: we get there, then I will be happy.
- 27:54Speaker 1: But joy is different. It's not a destination. It's the
- 27:57Speaker 1: process of living, of.
- 27:58Speaker 34: Finding joy and what we're fashioned to do, and when
- 28:01Speaker 34: we do it well, it's more joyful.
- 28:03Speaker 1: If we don't do it well, we can find joy
- 28:06Speaker 1: and going.
- 28:06Speaker 34: Well, I'm going to try it next time. Joy is
- 28:09Speaker 34: a process. Happiness is a destination. I think we'd all
- 28:11Speaker 34: be a lot cooler and better and truer people if
- 28:15Speaker 34: we found the joy in the process and didn't keep
- 28:16Speaker 34: trying to pursue the result of destination that we call happiness,
- 28:21Speaker 34: which is really unattainable.
- 28:24Speaker 35: I think we look down now to sixteen year olds
- 28:28Speaker 35: and say where are you going to go to college?
- 28:30Speaker 35: What are you going to do for the rest of
- 28:31Speaker 35: your life? And it's like they're not fully baked yet.
- 28:37Speaker 35: How do they know? Give them a break, just say look,
- 28:41Speaker 35: I think after high school, take a year off, take
- 28:45Speaker 35: two years off, join the Peace Corps, travel, go figure
- 28:49Speaker 35: things out, or just enjoy yourself for the first time
- 28:52Speaker 35: in their lives. They're adults and they don't have to
- 28:56Speaker 35: be somewhere. They're not told to be somewhere. Get you
- 29:00Speaker 35: to that freedom, get used to having the need to
- 29:04Speaker 35: self govern yourself. You know, to be able to employ
- 29:09Speaker 35: self discipline.
- 29:10Speaker 36: You just have to live. You just have to live.
- 29:16Speaker 36: You just have to act your age. If you're twenty six,
- 29:20Speaker 36: be twenty six. Stop trying to be fifty six. It's
- 29:25Speaker 36: not expected, and it's a burden that you don't have
- 29:27Speaker 36: to carry. You will not be the man that you
- 29:30Speaker 36: want to be until you grow into it.
- 29:34Speaker 1: You have to grow into it.
- 29:37Speaker 2: Probably what you lack is plenty of reasons. You've got
- 29:41Speaker 2: enough intelligence, but not enough reasons. Here's what else I
- 29:45Speaker 2: found out. Reasons come first, answers come second. You don't
- 29:50Speaker 2: get the answers to do well till you get the reasons.
- 29:54Speaker 2: Life has a mysterious way of hanging on to all
- 29:56Speaker 2: the answers and only gives them.
- 29:58Speaker 1: Up to the people that are in fired by reasons.
- 30:01Speaker 37: When you concentrate and work intensely on an important task,
- 30:05Speaker 37: it gives you a feeling of energy and enthusiasm. When
- 30:08Speaker 37: you complete an important task, your self esteem goes up.
- 30:10Speaker 37: You feel like a winner, You feel great about yourself.
- 30:13Speaker 5: If you have a list of.
- 30:13Speaker 38: Tasks to do and you choose to do your most
- 30:17Speaker 38: important task and you complete it, you get a rush.
- 30:20Speaker 38: It's called an endorphin rush, and your brain releases endorphins
- 30:23Speaker 38: just flood your system and make you actually feel exhilarated.
- 30:27Speaker 5: You almost laugh out loud.
- 30:29Speaker 38: You're happy, your heartbreat goes up, you're smiling. Sometimes you
- 30:33Speaker 38: will stay or work late at night to complete a task,
- 30:36Speaker 38: and you get it done at two or three in
- 30:38Speaker 38: the morning, and you finish it, and even though you
- 30:40Speaker 38: should be exhausted, you're happy. You can't sleep, You walk
- 30:44Speaker 38: it around, you watch television. I mean, because you feel great.
- 30:47Speaker 39: But if you work away on low priority tasks, even
- 30:50Speaker 39: if you complete them and do them well, you don't
- 30:51Speaker 39: get any excitement or thrill from doing something that's not important.
- 30:55Speaker 39: The very worst thing in the world is to do
- 30:57Speaker 39: very well with what need not be done at all.
- 31:01Speaker 18: Because we're I'm meant to grow. If you ask people,
- 31:03Speaker 18: ask me what does it take to be happy? You
- 31:05Speaker 18: met millions of people as a taken, so many people unhappy.
- 31:08Speaker 5: Well.
- 31:08Speaker 18: Relationships are one of the keys to that. But there
- 31:10Speaker 18: is one key even within relationship progress progress equals happiness.
- 31:14Speaker 18: If you go and achieve some huge goal. You know,
- 31:17Speaker 18: if you've ever done this and then chieve it, you
- 31:18Speaker 18: have one or two experiences. Either go is this all
- 31:20Speaker 18: there is after you achieved it, which is horrible feels
- 31:23Speaker 18: worse than failing, or you go, Wow, this is amazing
- 31:26Speaker 18: and you celebrate. But how long do you feel good
- 31:28Speaker 18: for after achieving some great goal? Five years, the year,
- 31:32Speaker 18: six months? Right?
- 31:34Speaker 8: Why?
- 31:35Speaker 18: Because we're not meant to just sit at the table
- 31:37Speaker 18: success and get fat, you sepport, We're meant to grow.
- 31:40Speaker 18: And when we grow, when we make progress, we few alive.
- 31:42Speaker 18: And what makes us feel most alive? Right when you're
- 31:44Speaker 18: a life and a mind too. Knowing you as a
- 31:46Speaker 18: person is when you grow you have something to give.
- 31:48Speaker 18: And what makes life meaningful is not just a happy
- 31:50Speaker 18: life is not always happening, But a meaningful life is
- 31:52Speaker 18: a life where you served something more than yourself, something
- 31:54Speaker 18: that einging the energy insite wil to be serving your
- 31:57Speaker 18: kids and family, or your business or something in your
- 31:59Speaker 18: communit hear something.
- 32:00Speaker 8: In the wall.
- 32:01Speaker 40: Your laziness is something that has to do with you.
- 32:03Speaker 40: You're not connected to something deep enough. You don't feel
- 32:07Speaker 40: the necessity you don't feel the devil at your heels.
- 32:11Speaker 40: You don't feel the fact that you could very well
- 32:13Speaker 40: die tomorrow. It will impel you to get something done.
- 32:17Speaker 40: There's no necessity behind it. And the healan animal that
- 32:20Speaker 40: we will created is when we feel pressure, we feel
- 32:24Speaker 40: the necessity to get things done, we can mountains. But
- 32:28Speaker 40: when there're pressure releases and we don't feel the need
- 32:31Speaker 40: to get something done, we could become incredibly lazy because
- 32:36Speaker 40: there's no necessity. So you have to create necessity in
- 32:40Speaker 40: your life. You have to create the need to get
- 32:42Speaker 40: things done.
- 32:44Speaker 41: Unhappiness is when your expectations of how life is meant
- 32:47Speaker 41: to be going go unmad. And this explains why a
- 32:51Speaker 41: kid in Africa who gets rice, I was born in Africa.
- 32:54Speaker 41: I was born in Byflorida. Kid in Africa who gets
- 32:56Speaker 41: rice can be euphoric. But a billionaire and a Minchin
- 32:59Speaker 41: star restaurant in West London, his three Michelin star steak
- 33:04Speaker 41: comes without the sprinkle of dust or whatever shit they
- 33:07Speaker 41: put on it, he will be visibly pissed off and
- 33:11Speaker 41: complain because his expectations of the world and how life
- 33:14Speaker 41: should be going going there. So one of the ways
- 33:18Speaker 41: that you can make sure you're happy. It's not line beginnings.
- 33:20Speaker 41: It's just like having better expectations.
- 33:22Speaker 42: But society becomes great when old men plant trees under
- 33:28Speaker 42: the shade of which they know they'll never sit.
- 33:31Speaker 8: You gotta do something.
- 33:33Speaker 42: There's gonna leave something for somebody else's enjoyment that you
- 33:37Speaker 42: know you won't even be there to enjoy.
- 33:38Speaker 5: I know I won't be under that shade.
- 33:41Speaker 42: I know I won't, but I planted them so my
- 33:45Speaker 42: grandkids will be.
- 33:47Speaker 5: Walking through their forms and need some big trees. That
- 33:51Speaker 5: tree fifty years old. Your granddad, Papa Hardt put through
- 33:55Speaker 5: trees there.
- 34:00Speaker 27: How do I just keep getting up and going and
- 34:01Speaker 27: going and going. But I had a purpose before everybody
- 34:04Speaker 27: had an opinion. It's not about anybody else. It's not
- 34:08Speaker 27: about anybody else. It's just about going to do it
- 34:10Speaker 27: because that's what you want. That's what you said out there.
- 34:12Speaker 18: To go do.
- 34:13Speaker 27: So I've always been my biggest critic that you continue
- 34:16Speaker 27: to stay that way.
- 34:17Speaker 43: Maybe your purpose in life isn't related to your job.
- 34:22Speaker 43: Maybe your job is your job, and the job is
- 34:25Speaker 43: the thing that supports you, and then the rest of
- 34:29Speaker 43: your waking hours are devoted to your purpose, whatever that is.
- 34:33Speaker 5: Yeah, and a lot of us are trying to make
- 34:34Speaker 5: it the same thing.
- 34:35Speaker 43: Yeah, and it's beautiful when it happens, but it doesn't
- 34:38Speaker 43: always happen, and it's out of our control. Also, we
- 34:41Speaker 43: can decide. I would say, if you need to have
- 34:46Speaker 43: a job to support yourself, that's great, that's a noble
- 34:49Speaker 43: thing to do. And follow your dreams, but I'm not
- 34:55Speaker 43: saying they're one thing. They don't have to be one thing,
- 34:58Speaker 43: and don't let following your dream undermine your ability to
- 35:02Speaker 43: support yourself. It could do it could actually do the
- 35:05Speaker 43: opposite
