Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We become what we think about. Focus on what you
- 0:03Speaker 1: want rather than focusing on what you don't want or
- 0:06Speaker 1: who do you want to be? You know, why why
- 0:10Speaker 1: are you here on this planet? You live according to
- 0:15Speaker 1: the principles of love, compassion, you know, appreciative joy, you know,
- 0:21Speaker 1: celebrating other people's successes.
- 0:24Speaker 2: But how do you.
- 0:25Speaker 1: Overcome hatred and confusion and just having a good heart.
- 0:30Speaker 1: Then I think that's what happened to me. Then I
- 0:33Speaker 1: start to get clear about what what I like to
- 0:35Speaker 1: do and how I could be of service, how can
- 0:37Speaker 1: I help other people? That we were wired for success.
- 0:42Speaker 1: But it's how we relate to our experience that determines
- 0:45Speaker 1: whether we're we're chipping away or we're you know, kind
- 0:50Speaker 1: of burying that sense of wholeness that we that we're
- 0:58Speaker 1: born with. It's just that we we we forget it.
- 1:00Speaker 1: We don't look inside, we're looking outside. And so unless
- 1:04Speaker 1: we're still and we think about it and we understand
- 1:06Speaker 1: that I was born with this masterpiece and no one
- 1:09Speaker 1: can give it to me or take it away. It's
- 1:12Speaker 1: an inside job. And so if I look at what's right,
- 1:15Speaker 1: it makes makes a lot of sense. So it's whether
- 1:19Speaker 1: you're coming from a place of scarcity or I would
- 1:22Speaker 1: say survival mode or coming from growth mode, which has
- 1:25Speaker 1: to do with it. Yes, I can yes to life,
- 1:28Speaker 1: and I have the capacity and the responsibility to make
- 1:32Speaker 1: it different or to make it make it better. Having
- 1:36Speaker 1: that faith, that vulnerability to just see things that are
- 1:39Speaker 1: hard to see. Gotta get comfortable being uncomfortable. So can
- 1:44Speaker 1: you handle the truth? There's a question. And if you can't,
- 1:48Speaker 1: then you If you see that, then you can say, well,
- 1:51Speaker 1: if I'm going to change, I'm going to have to
- 1:52Speaker 1: figure out how to deal with that discomfort until the
- 1:56Speaker 1: point that I can see what I need to see,
- 1:58Speaker 1: then I can change. It's the persistence of continuing to
- 2:02Speaker 1: do something until you can do it. Is most of
- 2:05Speaker 1: the work is just continuing to make mistakes, learn from mistakes.
- 2:09Speaker 1: But the mistakes are you as feedback, not as I'm
- 2:13Speaker 1: a failure. It's just an event now who we are,
- 2:17Speaker 1: So that error correction is really important. And when you
- 2:20Speaker 1: can see it, when you attribute it to something you
- 2:22Speaker 1: can learn or change, now you've got faith and confidence
- 2:26Speaker 1: to do it, versus if you're seeing it like oh
- 2:29Speaker 1: I'm just not strong enough, I'm not tall enough, and
- 2:31Speaker 1: all of that that's just that's what I call a
- 2:34Speaker 1: negative committee, telling you you can't do anything, rather than saying, well,
- 2:38Speaker 1: let me see what I can do. So it's like
- 2:40Speaker 1: a child learned how to walk right, same thing.
- 2:44Speaker 3: Your life can change. Your life can be more than
- 2:48Speaker 3: just a police It can be your future, your success.
- 2:52Speaker 3: This change, This change takes courage. It takes courage to
- 2:57Speaker 3: stand up and break down the aspects of your life
- 3:00Speaker 3: that you know is holding you back. Let your progress
- 3:04Speaker 3: be idolized, let it speak for itself.
- 3:14Speaker 2: Average becomes sort of like this slow asphyxiation. It's almost
- 3:17Speaker 2: like an anesthetic, and that over time we become kind
- 3:20Speaker 2: of immune, indulled to the average that we're becoming. I
- 3:23Speaker 2: know this is true at least for me. You probably
- 3:25Speaker 2: experience it yourself too, and so over time we sort
- 3:27Speaker 2: of minimize where we're at. In other words, I'm a
- 3:30Speaker 2: little pudgy instead of being no, you're fat ass right.
- 3:32Speaker 2: You don't magnify the degree to which the pain ought
- 3:36Speaker 2: to be affecting you. And so really, what he means
- 3:38Speaker 2: in that is, listen, you're going to get out of
- 3:40Speaker 2: your life what you'll accept. That's really difficult for people,
- 3:42Speaker 2: I think to understand is look, what you think you're
- 3:44Speaker 2: worth and what you're going to tolerate is absolutely what
- 3:46Speaker 2: you're going to bring into your life and what the
- 3:48Speaker 2: outward part of your life is going to look like.
- 3:50Speaker 2: And so I live by that, like I let myself
- 3:53Speaker 2: sort of feel the pain and the difficulty of being
- 3:57Speaker 2: not where I want to be and whatever that areas
- 3:59Speaker 2: whether to be like spiritual, my relationships, my money. I
- 4:02Speaker 2: let myself feel that paint because, as you know, there's
- 4:04Speaker 2: two motivators, right, there's the gaining of pleasure, right, wanting
- 4:07Speaker 2: to go get something, chasing the dream. But then there's
- 4:10Speaker 2: the avoidance of pain. And for a lot of champions,
- 4:13Speaker 2: that's a pretty big driving force for them. And so
- 4:15Speaker 2: at least for me, I leverage both of those things
- 4:18Speaker 2: on me to get myself to take action. One of
- 4:21Speaker 2: the reasons I'm relatively fit is not just peak state.
- 4:26Speaker 2: I have an uncle in my family that died at
- 4:28Speaker 2: fifty years old of a heart attacks, my godfather, my
- 4:30Speaker 2: dad's only brother. I kind of resembled him, and I
- 4:33Speaker 2: looked like I'm a lot so on the way back
- 4:36Speaker 2: from his funeral. My reticular activators on heart attacks on
- 4:39Speaker 2: the TV screen on the airplane. I'm listening to music.
- 4:41Speaker 2: Is the Oprah Winfrey show. She's going through a new
- 4:43Speaker 2: heart scan. I unplugged my headphones. Plug it into the airplane.
- 4:47Speaker 2: One I scheduled it. I went in. I had a
- 4:50Speaker 2: world class doctor who understood reasons and leverage instead of
- 4:53Speaker 2: just prescribing. Because when we coach, well you need to
- 4:54Speaker 2: do this, you need to say, is that the doctors
- 4:56Speaker 2: do it? Take this pill, take this. He understood leverage
- 4:59Speaker 2: and reasons. What you do is you take the scan,
- 5:01Speaker 2: then you go to lunch, you come back. I took
- 5:03Speaker 2: the scan, I went to I had a burrito. I
- 5:06Speaker 2: came back and I'm in the law. When I walk in,
- 5:08Speaker 2: I sit down. The doctor comes out and he says,
- 5:13Speaker 2: oh my, I can't believe these arteries are in. That
- 5:17Speaker 2: young body got my attention. We walk back in, We
- 5:21Speaker 2: sit down. He could still go, you need cresstore, eat clean,
- 5:24Speaker 2: get out of here. Is that what an average doctor does?
- 5:26Speaker 1: Right?
- 5:26Speaker 2: No, wired me with huge reasons. He goes, let me
- 5:29Speaker 2: ask you a question. I heard your wife's pregnant. You
- 5:31Speaker 2: I said, I have a son, and he says, do
- 5:33Speaker 2: you want to be there? When he graduates from high
- 5:35Speaker 2: school to be there for that day. I said, yes, sir, yeah.
- 5:38Speaker 2: He goes, your wife's pregnant. What do you have? And
- 5:40Speaker 2: I said, a daughter. This is where you get a dad.
- 5:41Speaker 2: He goes, she was six months pregnant. He goes, do
- 5:44Speaker 2: you would you like to walk her down the aisle
- 5:46Speaker 2: on her wedding day? Or are you okay that it's
- 5:48Speaker 2: some other man? I went, what the fuck was on
- 5:56Speaker 2: the scan? Right? And he goes, I want to be
- 5:58Speaker 2: very clear with you. If you keep going down the
- 5:59Speaker 2: road you're going there'll be some other man with your
- 6:02Speaker 2: son at graduation high school and a stranger's walking your
- 6:05Speaker 2: daughter down the out it's not even born yet on
- 6:07Speaker 2: her wedding day. And I went to boom and he goes,
- 6:09Speaker 2: but if you do exactly what I tell you to do,
- 6:12Speaker 2: you'll be there. And so to this day, brother, there
- 6:15Speaker 2: are mornings when I wake up, not every morning I
- 6:17Speaker 2: don't want to go to the gym. I go belle
- 6:18Speaker 2: Is wedding, Belle's wedding, Belle's wedding. So my standards are
- 6:22Speaker 2: high because of my big old reasons. Other dudes may
- 6:25Speaker 2: miss the gym that day because they're not going to
- 6:27Speaker 2: miss their daughter's wedding if they don't go. But I've
- 6:29Speaker 2: convinced myself beget emotional. I've convinced myself I'll miss my
- 6:35Speaker 2: daughter's wedding. So I will get my ass out of
- 6:37Speaker 2: bed at four o'clock in the morning and I will
- 6:39Speaker 2: get to that gym. Because my reasons are bigger, so
- 6:41Speaker 2: my standards are higher. So that's what I think causes
- 6:45Speaker 2: us to have great standards as huge reasons.
- 6:49Speaker 4: When you're inspired by something or someone in your life,
- 6:54Speaker 4: you feel the magic. Now's the time to be the magic.
- 7:00Speaker 4: What are you gonna do. Are you gonna let the
- 7:03Speaker 4: masters inspire you to feel it or are you gonna
- 7:07Speaker 4: strive to be a master. It's your choice. The magic
- 7:14Speaker 4: is waiting not only for you just to feel it,
- 7:16Speaker 4: but to be it. Nobody can take this away, I.
- 7:23Speaker 5: Mean life, and can't escape anything that goes on with life.
- 7:27Speaker 5: You know, we all are not immunity of problems or
- 7:31Speaker 5: drama or trauma or tragedy. You know, we're all uh
- 7:38Speaker 5: here as human beings. So you know, when you're going
- 7:42Speaker 5: through some sort of difficulties, you know, first finding out
- 7:44Speaker 5: whatever that difficulture they be. You know, you know we
- 7:46Speaker 5: do with within your power in terms of how to
- 7:50Speaker 5: start slowly, you know, get yourself out of that situation
- 7:54Speaker 5: and you believe you be optimistic about it. You know,
- 7:57Speaker 5: being negative about a situation and staying in that place
- 8:02Speaker 5: it never helps. You know, it's nothing wrong with understanding
- 8:05Speaker 5: that place, feeling bad about it, looking at it for
- 8:08Speaker 5: what it is, but don't stay there. Got to get
- 8:12Speaker 5: back on that other side and start looking at the
- 8:15Speaker 5: resolved resolution of it, or how can I get back
- 8:18Speaker 5: to feeling good and feeling prosperous again to where I'm
- 8:23Speaker 5: not dealing with this obstacle. Words are very impowerful, very powerful.
- 8:33Speaker 5: So the thing is about getting within yourself and understanding
- 8:36Speaker 5: who you are to kind of you know, ward off
- 8:39Speaker 5: those negative comments that's coming towards adversually always prepare you.
- 8:42Speaker 5: You know, you have to go through those things in
- 8:44Speaker 5: order to see the light of the the end of
- 8:46Speaker 5: the the light at the end of the tunnel. You know,
- 8:48Speaker 5: I don't think anything is gonna just be like this
- 8:51Speaker 5: throughout your life. You know, you have to go through
- 8:53Speaker 5: that difficult overcome obstacle, you know, because it's it's a
- 8:57Speaker 5: testament of your character or who you are and how
- 8:59Speaker 5: you have to deal with certain things, you know, to
- 9:01Speaker 5: get yourself back on that playing field. Everything happened for
- 9:07Speaker 5: a reason. No regrets. All the negative things that happen.
- 9:11Speaker 5: I'm thankful for it because I learned. Hopefully I learned
- 9:14Speaker 5: from those situations and all the positive things. I'm humbly
- 9:18Speaker 5: grateful that those able to take place, and still striving
- 9:22Speaker 5: to be the best I can be in you know,
- 9:24Speaker 5: going forward, hopefully I can carry some kid to be
- 9:27Speaker 5: the best they can do. You know, anything is possible.
- 9:32Speaker 5: Positive thinking is also translated to them, you know. So
- 9:38Speaker 5: you know, when you have something that's positive about that,
- 9:42Speaker 5: you can be, you know, the best you can be.
- 9:44Speaker 5: You know, and you're negative out there, I mean you
- 9:47Speaker 5: can bring down the worst person. You know, Misery loves company.
- 9:51Speaker 5: You know, misery loves company. So we were not Debbie
- 9:54Speaker 5: down as we more uplifters. You know, we always, no
- 9:57Speaker 5: matter what the situation, with the situation and then we're
- 10:00Speaker 5: gonna try to look for the outcome the better of
- 10:03Speaker 5: that situation. You know, if we can't find a resolution
- 10:10Speaker 5: to get out of it, you know, we're gonna keep
- 10:12Speaker 5: on searching to continue to try to find a resolution
- 10:15Speaker 5: to get out of it, because that's what you do,
- 10:18Speaker 5: you know, that's how you get to the bottom of
- 10:19Speaker 5: that's how you get to the facts and the asset.
- 10:23Speaker 3: H
