- 2:07Speaker 3: You see, The things I do today determines the habits
- 2:11Speaker 3: I have tomorrow, which determines the mindset that I have

- 2:45Speaker 5: How tall will a tree grow? As tall as it can?
- 2:49Speaker 5: Everything strives to become all it can properly be, and
- 2:53Speaker 5: that striving to become is what discipline is all about.
- 2:57Speaker 2: You are the leader of your life to the hard path,
- 3:01Speaker 2: the path of responsibility, hard work, and sacrifice, the path
- 3:06Speaker 2: of discipline, humility and ownership that ultimately leads to freedom.

- 3:46Speaker 5: lofty place called the good life.
- 3:51Speaker 6: Now you know the master Keeter Riches is self disciplined.
- 3:56Speaker 6: And what we have found is the most successful people
- 4:00Speaker 6: come to that conclusion as well, is that self discipline
- 4:03Speaker 6: is the master key to success. So for you to
- 4:06Speaker 6: write down your goals and make a plan and set
- 4:09Speaker 6: priorities and start with your most important task takes tremendous
- 4:13Speaker 6: self discipline. If you haven't done it up to now,
- 4:16Speaker 6: it's so hard, but Guta said, everything is hard before
- 4:22Speaker 6: it's easy, and everything at the beginning is difficult, but
- 4:29Speaker 6: later it becomes easy and automatic. You have to force
- 4:34Speaker 6: yourself to discipline yourself at the beginning, but after that
- 4:37Speaker 6: it becomes easier and easier, and you actually feel happy.
- 4:42Speaker 6: Now here's the most wonderful thing. When you discipline yourself
- 4:45Speaker 6: to start and complete a task or a part of
- 4:48Speaker 6: a task, you feel like an athlete. So here's my question.
- 4:54Speaker 6: If an athlete runs in a race and comes in first,
- 4:58Speaker 6: what do they call this person?
- 5:00Speaker 3: Right?
- 5:00Speaker 6: The winner? Exactly. I've studied this hundreds thousands of hours.
- 5:07Speaker 6: What it says is that when you win, when you
- 5:10Speaker 6: come in as the winner, your body releases endorphins, which
- 5:15Speaker 6: are called Nature's happy drug. They make you happy, and dopamine,
- 5:20Speaker 6: which is a form of energy that you get from
- 5:24Speaker 6: a positive experience. So when you complete a task, your
- 5:29Speaker 6: body releases these drugs and you feel happy. So they
- 5:34Speaker 6: call it nature. The psychologists call it Nature's happy drug.
- 5:37Speaker 6: If you want to be happy, to start and complete
- 5:39Speaker 6: a task and you get you get a a zip wow, wow,
- 5:44Speaker 6: you feel happy. So I organize my life. So I
- 5:48Speaker 6: organize my tasks DA DA data, and then my wife
- 5:51Speaker 6: Barbara will come in and say, uh, I'm gonna have
- 5:54Speaker 6: dinner in ten minutes. So I say, okay, ten minutes,
- 5:57Speaker 6: let's see what have I got here that will take
- 5:58Speaker 6: ten minutes. Huh, I can do this in ten minutes.
- 6:02Speaker 6: So I'll always end my day with a completed task.
- 6:06Speaker 6: This is really simple thing, and I've done it. I
- 6:09Speaker 6: could tick it off, complete, down, and I'm happy, and
- 6:14Speaker 6: I'll walk out with and I'm smiling. When you make
- 6:18Speaker 6: a person feel like a winner, you feel happy. When
- 6:22Speaker 6: you discipline yourself to complete a task, you give yourself
- 6:25Speaker 6: a buzz. Alfred Adler, one of the top psychologists of history,
- 6:31Speaker 6: called this a positive addiction. He said, if you start
- 6:35Speaker 6: and complete a task, you get a buzz, and the
- 6:38Speaker 6: buzz becomes addictive. You start thinking, no, I want that
- 6:41Speaker 6: buzz again. But the buzz is a positive addiction in
- 6:44Speaker 6: that it makes you happy when you do it. So
- 6:46Speaker 6: every time you start and complete a task, you feel
- 6:48Speaker 6: like a winner. I mean you feel like a winner.
- 6:52Speaker 6: You want to do it again and have that winning feeling.
- 6:55Speaker 6: If you want to raise happy, healthy, self confident children,
- 6:58Speaker 6: one of my programs twenty one Great Ways to raise happy, healthy,
- 7:02Speaker 6: self confident Children. One of my twenty ones is what
- 7:05Speaker 6: you do is you make your children feel like winners
- 7:07Speaker 6: all the time. If you're happily married, make sure that
- 7:10Speaker 6: your spouse feels like a winner all the time. How
- 7:12Speaker 6: do they feel like a winner is when you praise
- 7:14Speaker 6: them or compliment them, thank them from what they did,
- 7:17Speaker 6: acknowledge their success, whatever happens to be make them feel
- 7:20Speaker 6: like a winner. Because every single time you start and
- 7:23Speaker 6: complete something and it's acknowledged, person feels like a winner.
- 7:28Speaker 6: You know that the greatest speed records, Olympic records are
- 7:32Speaker 6: always broken in front of the biggest crowds. Interesting point,
- 7:36Speaker 6: the biggest crowds. You get ten thousand people, you get
- 7:38Speaker 6: a record, you get fifty thousand people, wow, one hundred
- 7:41Speaker 6: thousand people. They break all the world records because the
- 7:44Speaker 6: greater the amount of praise and that you get from
- 7:48Speaker 6: winning a race or potential for race, the faster people run.
- 7:54Speaker 4: When I was in high school, I must have been
- 7:58Speaker 4: maybe sixteen or seven ten years old, and I went
- 8:03Speaker 4: rock climbing in Eldorado Canyon, where I near where I
- 8:06Speaker 4: grew up in Boulder. I've been climbing about three or
- 8:09Speaker 4: four years, and I went to do a climb called
- 8:10Speaker 4: T two. Now, at the time, T two was a
- 8:13Speaker 4: relatively difficult climb, and I went at it with a
- 8:19Speaker 4: kind of an arrogant lack of preparation, and I hadn't
- 8:22Speaker 4: prepared for being able to do certain kinds of finger cracks.
- 8:26Speaker 4: I figured I'll figure it out when I get there.
- 8:28Speaker 4: And I also didn't pause. And this is the thing
- 8:31Speaker 4: about boldness and discipline. I didn't pause to really double smack,
- 8:35Speaker 4: double check all my systems. Okay, So I'm on the
- 8:39Speaker 4: fourth pitch. I'm about four hundred feet above the ground.
- 8:45Speaker 4: I'm going across this slanting crack system that i'd had
- 8:49Speaker 4: trouble that I started out trouble with, and my forearms
- 8:52Speaker 4: started to engorge with blood and lactic acid, which means
- 8:55Speaker 4: at some point, even if you're on a big hold,
- 8:57Speaker 4: your hands are going to melt off. And I'm about
- 9:01Speaker 4: to fall. I'm four hundred feet above the ground, but
- 9:05Speaker 4: it should be okay because there's protection. I'm tied into
- 9:09Speaker 4: the rope. I may take a fall, but I'll get caught.
- 9:12Speaker 4: For some reason, and to this day, I still don't
- 9:14Speaker 4: know why, my brain triggered that I should look at
- 9:19Speaker 4: my knot. And I looked down at my knot. My
- 9:24Speaker 4: knot had come untied. I had made the mistake of
- 9:30Speaker 4: never really thinking about the best knot for certain types
- 9:32Speaker 4: of situations, and I tied him with, what's a bowlin?
- 9:35Speaker 3: Now?
- 9:35Speaker 4: The advantage of a bowlin is it's easy to untie,
- 9:39Speaker 4: you write. The disadvantage of a bowldin is it's easy
- 9:42Speaker 4: to untie. It had come untied as I kept moving across,
- 9:48Speaker 4: and it is just hanging in my harness. I'm seconds
- 9:53Speaker 4: away from falling. Only now I will die. I will
- 9:57Speaker 4: die if I fall off. My forearms are melting. And
- 10:03Speaker 4: the knot had come untied, and so I called down
- 10:06Speaker 4: to my partner. I said, by not, come on, tie,
- 10:07Speaker 4: what's he gonna do? He can't do anything. You just
- 10:09Speaker 4: watched me follow my death. And I there was an
- 10:12Speaker 4: old fixed peton in the rock that would put there
- 10:16Speaker 4: from the first ascent, an old soft iron peton. And
- 10:18Speaker 4: I looked at it, and I probably had fifteen twenty
- 10:21Speaker 4: seconds before my hands went unwrap, if that maybe ten.
- 10:25Speaker 4: I took a runner and I clipped it into the piton.
- 10:28Speaker 4: I clipped the piton into my heart, that runner into
- 10:31Speaker 4: my harness and just went, please hold and I let go,
- 10:38Speaker 4: and it helped. I put in a backup. I grabbed
- 10:42Speaker 4: the knot be tied. It went to the ledge. It
- 10:44Speaker 4: didn't convulsion. I I was very calm at that moment.
- 10:47Speaker 4: When I got to the ledge, I went into convulsive shaking.
- 10:49Speaker 4: I was sick to my stomach for days cause of
- 10:51Speaker 4: the the whatever happens chemically. What I learned from that
- 10:57Speaker 4: is two things.
- 10:59Speaker 3: Uh.
- 10:59Speaker 4: The first is that when you're in an unforgiving world,
- 11:03Speaker 4: gravity is unforgiving. It doesn't care, it never takes a
- 11:07Speaker 4: day off ever, and if you make one mistake, it
- 11:11Speaker 4: can kill you if it's your own kind of mistake.
- 11:14Speaker 4: And what I learned is that sense of yeah, I
- 11:15Speaker 4: want to do adventures things. I want to climb rocks,
- 11:17Speaker 4: I want to be in Yosemite. I want to do
- 11:19Speaker 4: things that get my adrenaline coin. But I need the
- 11:22Speaker 4: discipline to always do all the right preparation, to always
- 11:26Speaker 4: think about the right nuts, to always be cross checking
- 11:29Speaker 4: my system so that I can do those bold things
- 11:32Speaker 4: and stay alive in an unforgiving environment. And as you
- 11:35Speaker 4: and I spoke about earlier today, I think that's the
- 11:37Speaker 4: rest of it. I think we're all heading into an
- 11:40Speaker 4: unforgiving environment where we're going to have to be both
- 11:42Speaker 4: bold and disciplined. The second thing I learned, what if
- 11:47Speaker 4: that piton had not been there, we might not be
- 11:51Speaker 4: here together. It was just by chance that that piton
- 11:58Speaker 4: was right there. Once you realize when you rewind the
- 12:01Speaker 4: tape of your own life, is that there are these
- 12:03Speaker 4: crucial moments where if the luck had gone the other way,
- 12:09Speaker 4: you might have gotten killed. And so what you have
- 12:13Speaker 4: to do is to always be putting those extra disciplines
- 12:16Speaker 4: in place. Because I was lucky to live, and what
- 12:21Speaker 4: I took from that is, I never want to have
- 12:24Speaker 4: to be lucky to live again. I want to live
- 12:28Speaker 4: because of my discipline, not because of my luck.
