Subtitles section Play video Print subtitles Life is hard life is hard and people who are born into different situations. I about have a hard time appreciating How hard it is for others? Like like life life is really really short and I think that we don't value and appreciate you know our freedoms and our opportunities in our life There are gonna always be obstacles You're gonna have to either go around them go over them or go right through them, but you can't stop going It's a hopeless feeling and you surround it around a bunch of hopelessness you Have to be crazy and Believing what your goal in your passion is because when something is crazy, even though it's crazy You still do it, right? You know what I mean? And so that's what you have to become you have to become Insane right so you could be smarter than me, but you were never gonna outwork the ever like for real They are no quick quick answers to big problems like there just aren't it? In life that things will go bad and Things are going to go bad. This is not the first or the last time that's gonna happen It's gonna keep happening. And that's just how life is You'll be past this and you'll be okay and there is nothing for you to worry about here We can be as human beings as people who are always right for the world or we can be just right for ourselves, right? So we can just be honest about ourselves or we can put a display for the world Nothing wrong with putting display of to the world. That's what gives you joy But just be honest about videos because it's eventually it's all boils down to you and your story It's not about more it's always about less it's only thin time you realize what less it is Fear is a is a figment of our imagination right fear is created because of expectations right and I learned this process early on is that every time I would get scared I would usually be scared because I have some Future I have imagined there is something in the future that I think Will happen because I will do this right now is why I'm scared of doing this, right? You're about to jump off a plane. You think you're going to die You don't consider you have a parachute or a person that is jumping with you, right? So That's what you're scared of is why you want jump off a plane is because you think you will die so I had Firstly once you have an expectation of yourself, and you say hey, I don't need to have this expectation I'm just living life as a play. It's a game. It's music. It's it's fun joy I don't have an expectation of a particular outcome Its it doesn't mean I'm discounting myself like that people can get confused with that like it's not that I'm saying Oh I don't want to be Even more impactful in the world or a better version or more honest version of myself that journey will still continue I just don't have that expectation. I'm not gonna be sad if that doesn't happen one day - chase. Let's enjoy the chase Why do we have to kill ourselves in the if we don't get it? The chase is supposed to be fun Life is flowing you can choose to change in this moment You can choose to change it three years from now or 30 years from now and it will change the day you want to change It right now once you know that you understand that goals can be timeless Now the second part of that is if life is going to flow means on every moment basis It's going to be different in a way, right? It's almost like It's like a heartbeat or a river or music changes by the note, right? It's just changing all the time right this moment It's different right energy changes our way. We react to things change although things change all the time And if that's the case, what's the one thing that can define us or help us stay in a place of joy, right? Because if life is gonna be up and down things will change and things will go bad and things will go right There has to be something that becomes our anchor point. It can't always be that goal, which is so arbitrary anyways So what is it that can help us always be in that? grounding state and be in a place of joy and being that floating state all the time to be able to go I'm pumped about This I'm pumped about this moment doesn't matter how it shows up I'm pumped about this right and that got me to the dialogue of saying Maybe I need to find something that I can anchor into at all times things that actually give me joy all the time Right, and that's what your values are your values are Usually already with you. You just have not bringing awareness to them. It's the way you operate You have the potential today to be special Every second that passes now is the opportunity to succeed you can be You can be so much more Success never stop never stops to breathe.

This is your destiny and either you wander aimlessly or you grab the wheel and take control of the ship Either you head in the direction you want to go or you go in no direction at all Most people allow life to happen to them Their time runs like a sands Eimer life is happening to them It isn't happening for them make life work for you Make your time work for you. Do not allow your time to empty each day without achieving anything Go into the world today and spend your time wisely make small wins Every day that will lead you down the path to success Motivation get you started but habit going Motivation is great. It is like a coffee in the morning it gets the engine going and get you moving But it is a habit that will develop your success is not an option It's either I will or I won't I can I know I can but I will or I won't you know and That's the thing and in some cases You may try your hardest and you just don't win or you don't pass a test or you don't succeed. That's part of life Understanding, it's gonna take hard work discipline and and learning how to work with other people in order to get to the next level The first rule is to love and respect everybody you come in contact with you're not going to agree with them You're not gonna even know like them on some occasions, but you love them and you respect them Number two is to be your best You know if your best is a C on the test, even if it's D or F on the test I would you know, you can never be disappointed if you know you gave it your all and then You know number three is we don't use the word can't You know, it's not in our vocabulary. I was told my entire life. You'll never do this. You'll never do that You can't do this you it's impossible for you to do that when you tell somebody what they can do for some people that drives them, you know, because you know I gonna tell me what I can or cannot do But for other people when you tell them all you'll never be able to do that like that That could be the breaking straw, you know in that back for that person. That's their spirit to actually go out and succeed So I never tell my kids If they come to me and they may have the most outrageous idea. I'll say all right, cool Let's figure out how we're gonna do it. I never said I mean you can't doing that As a work ethic you got to be passionate about whatever it is that you're gonna do whether it be You know an artist entertainer sports figure political like whatever it is should you decide to do in life you have to have Any extreme work ethic? You gotta be willing to do stuff other people aren't willing to do You have to have respect The first thing I've taught my kids when they can understand it was how to shake somebody's hand If you're if your agenda is to help make an impact on people's lives And it shouldn't matter if your name's at the top of the banner. It shouldn't matter if you know your your gifts have certain Name tags or whatever. However you want to do it I'm super competitive. So Nobody's gonna tell me what I can't do. I mean somebody don't even I can't sing but don't tell me I can't sing So I'm gonna give you my best thing it possible. It's not that I can't sing it's just I don't sing well, but you know I'm saying so it's like For me. I always had a drive to like Not prove people wrong, but to prove gods, right? You know, God said he has great plans for me So my grandmother passed away from breast cancer in 1995 I was going to the hospice the woman that was her roommate per se was very She's from South you know, and she was very racist, you know, every time I come in the room she'd say Oh, well that goes up boy. I had to do everything I could she you know, I Knew I had grown because I didn't respond the way I probably should was one has she caught me a couple years earlier? But You know my grandmother after a few weeks my grandmother, you know, she reached over and pulled grab my arm And she was like, you know, if I if I if I have to happen to die before she does I want you to come back and see her and I'm like No, it's just not my girl mother talking right now and so I you know it should end up happening like three weeks after my grandmother said that my grandmother passed away and so my my grandmother I Saw something at a time that I didn't really understand why she was doing it but I went back and I go into this room and the lady's like I Must sits up on her seat and she's just started bawling crying and this is the racist lady. Yes And then she's like, I'm I'm so glad I got a chance to see you again I thought I'd never see you again. You know, I apologize for how I treated you You know, I've gone to church I've done so many things, you know in church. I've served the homeless, etc, etc But I did I wasn't doing the one thing and I know that God would have approved of the most that's loving his people and then she uh She asked me if I can give her a hug and I said in my TED talk, you know I was a little apprehensive about doing that because she She could have you know saintly or something like that on the side but uh You know I hugged during that when I hugged her She said yeah, you're like the son that I never had and I'm going okay I never understand understand it at the time I'm walking out and then the lady said, you know the lady's up front. They were like I was so beautiful to witness because you know Essentially the reason why she has so much anger towards you was because she kind of got dropped off Which it happens a lot in nursing homes Or you know care centers the family drop them off and she has two daughters and the daughters just couldn't handle the scene their you know their mom in that position and My grandmother saw that before I would have ever saw it she just saw, you know an opportunity for Even the the hardest of hearts to be changed even in their dying days if you can have impact on somebody that you know that way Then just imagine what's going to happen when you do that to a complete stranger And it may not be I love you and I believe in you it may be to action of showing me You're worthy of nice clothes or nice pair of shoes or you're worthy of you're worthy of being able to go and enjoy a movie In college, the more successful people are the one most of the time to people that are more well-rounded You kind of have an appreciation for what other people do and whatever people gone through But you can be inspired on any given moment any given day just talking to people It doesn't get any easier you just get stronger If you want to change don't expect your life to stay the same Expected to get harder expected to actually get really really tough tougher than you can even imagine right now And this is where you can move past the boundaries that used to hold you back Used to hold you by the neck now, you can move towards the fulfillment. That's your future and this you see this This is where you can finally feel the satisfaction of your work. This is when you finally get to feel that success Now is the time for you to step up stand out and become the person you need to become Your future is in your hands and this is what sets your life up to be worth the potential that you deserve Your power is and always has been the thing that's gonna take you towards the life that you have earned Don't fail yourself Perseverance is the aspect that takes you towards the future worthy of your strength worthy of your progress So take pride in that more than anything you Have and you always will have this this potential to improve This potential to adapt and this potential to change This is what you've been working for Go on and receive that One mistake Shouldn't hold you back for more than one day The rise is the most important part of your progress the rise makes your future something different. It makes you you makes you strong In the intelligence of that takes you to a power worth your future and value this this Moment of pain is not gonna last forever unless you let it last forever You don't need this, so don't let it happen Change your perspective change your mindset to something always willing to grow always willing to take courage Make this who you are and make this worthwhile this power that you have is valuable because your future is valuable and your potential is valuable Your more than you could ever imagine and your power is stronger than you could ever imagine. This progress is gonna take time But this opening to work This opening that you have in this moment. It's not always open. So Take it take it right now. Take it now before it's too late You're more than your last minute. You're more than your last minute. You're more than your last mistake Get prepared for the success Get prepared for the progress You can make this you make this power yours yours to keep forever because this is what you're gonna leave behind This is what your legacy is made up of the moments when you get knocked down, but rise up over and over again these are the building blocks of the legacy that you're constructing these moments when you push forward and rise up over and over again and That is what brings you to the place where you thrive the place where you thrive and become better People gave to me and my family and my mom and other kids in my situation when they had nothing to gain in return and That's character. You know when when you can Give someone something and do something for somebody and it's really not about you. It's really about helping them And you're not expecting anything in return You have to set the precedence of like being Authentic, you know, we live in a very, you know in often in the world where we don't do Nearly as much as we could do If we didn't have an agenda, I don't have an agenda You know, my only agenda is is to literally change Everybody's life that I could possibly change in one way or another being authentic and being me Has has literally changed my whole life Because people are really starving for truth. We talked ourselves into a lot. I'm tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired You keep saying that you're gonna live a tired life You don't want to be married to that person you don't want to be a friends with that person You don't want to be led by that person who's constantly tired. So actually the people we really admire are not tired people They're actually energized people who love and have energy to give and value to give If you're not living it don't shout it from the rooftop Everyone does not have to believe what I believe but I want everyone to feel like they matter They have purpose they have someone who loves them We're listening to them care for them before you know it, you know We could have a lot less lonely people in the world, and that would be pretty awesome Share with people what's really changed your life and what you're really living out and your words will have a lot more power. I Actually think we're suffering from a lack of love on a grand scale on an epic scale it might be The greatest epidemic in the world. Maybe it always has been I think things Horrific things like racism are symptomatic of the fact. We don't feel loved We don't feel like we matter. We don't feel like we're valued and so we devalue each other and we fight and we war Most people don't say what they want in life where they want to go who they want to be They take it as it comes which is really disturbing and sad but it's true wait Like for instance, we take friendships as they come We just like well, I guess we kind of met and you like juice boxes and I like juice boxes so let's just hang out and like, you know talk about Capri Sun or whatever and I think we ought to be More intentional and and be honest. What do I want? What kind of friends do I want? What kind of life do I want? And then I think speak that out. First of all, like declare that be honest recently I did an exercise again back to our team and they said why do we exist Judah? Why do you exist? Why do we exist? not the answer you think you're supposed to give but the answer like the truth of what you want and why you exist and Creating a safe space with the people that you intentionally have have chosen your life to go All right, we're gonna like we're gonna get bare-bones honest here. This is actually what I want in life This is actually why I exist and then and then we've got to like hold each other accountable to that like bro You can't wake up at 11 p.m. Every day if that's what you want And I think there's a that's why I'm a big proponent of community I don't think people can be who they're supposed to be without community and community doesn't have to be 10,000 people It can be five. It can be three It can be the right people not just a bunch of people, but the right people, you know It's been said show me your friends. I'll show you your future that gets where it's real I can tell you where you're going right now by the people you're hanging out with on consistent places We are you know, so often our own worst enemies right we we keep ourselves you know off the stage, you know for fear of bad reviews and Don't even realize that you know in the process we're you know Forgetting how to dance and losing the joint it right and it's just such a shame We're all masters of our own universes right alone in our own worlds, and I certainly think everybody You know should figure it out You should figure it out for yourself because time is gonna go by either way and you know You could live a life of happenstance of reaction You know Or you can take some time to figure out how you want to spend your time who you want to be who you want to? Be at work you know you want to be as a parent who you want to be as a spouse and on and on and on and and You know, you can you can try to be that person you try to live that way so that's what I have in mind when I say, you know, you really Should define your success your purpose and labor towards it Everything is a choice. Every moment of your life is a choice How do you want to spend that moment who you want to be? It is not the circumstances. We confront That dictate the lives we experience. It just cannot be there are counter examples all over the place Choose to be happy literally in every moment And again, I'm not saying it's easy again, and I'm not you know, I'm not saying is always easy for me But it's certainly a worthwhile endeavor. I mean, you know you spill on yourself or you you knock something over or you know, you're late for a meeting or You know, it can be rail you it can be You know something quote-unquote awful would you know, meanwhile most of the world is worried about you know? health care and food and clothing But you know or you can choose to laugh about it and you can choose to have fun with it you can choose to let it go and again, every I think every moment is You know an amalgam of precisely those choices and I think it behooves us to spend some time thinking about our answers You know, you're the master of your reality and you know Once you buy that once you're willing to take responsibility for the fact that you are literally creating The life you are experiencing. The reality your reality is your creation and not enough time on this moment right now What is my best next step? What can I do right now to make progress and You know, the truth of the matter is the world changes, you know a million times a day You're gonna change a million times a day who knows what's gonna happen on the journey from you know from A to Z just focus on getting from A to B and Get that done and we'll worry about coz later Every single, you know human being every human faces their own discrete constellation of a Challenge as part of the human condition. There's nothing special or unique in facing these These big challenges or obstacles But how we handle it and then how we choose to look at them? That makes all the difference in the world life is choice And I said if you keep if you tell yourself you're gonna live this small on the remarkable pathetic life and you're you know not Gonna love or respect yourself and you know, you're not gonna find a mate not You can make that happen for yourself, or you can choose to have a different life There's one way you should see life Life is an opportunity you Have this opportunity for reason that reason is to succeed succeed for past fears past doubts pass your insecurities Empowering yourself toward the finish line Now is the time to make this opportunity your opportunity is more than this It's your potential to succeed use your potential use it as your superpower because that's what it is power power to succeed to achieve How badly do you want something how much do you want there's only one way to get it it's to work hard Motivate your life toward a future where you can succeed where you can achieve How much do you appreciate this opportunity? How much do you want this? So respect the path? You're on take the journey become the path make this define you Your future relies on this So be this opportunity take the risk and become the person you want to be You're there you're present. So act like it Be prepared to struggle but more importantly be prepared to succeed Today will not be the day you fail today is an opening the opening to make it take the path You're on the path. All you have to do is take a step Close your eyes and imagine a reality reality but with everything you've ever wanted Surrounded by everything you've ever wanted to achieve Believing that you have it knowing that you have all this This is how your mindset should always be to know that you have this potential within you That this picture isn't so far from reality that this picture can be Executed your potential is your power and this power can strengthen your progress the progress you need to achieve You have this so use this grasp this opportunity Take this now to make it past your imagination and make this your reality Work harder than you ever have. Nothing. Nothing comes easy. So what are you going to do? how are you going to change your Life can be so much more than what you think it is right now Time is power You have more so much more than this use this you have this Grow and strengthen your potential strengthen your power Think about your success like you have it You will have it Believe you have it then you'll have the chance you will have the opportunity What have you done today? What did you do yesterday and what are you going to do tomorrow? Life is fueled by progress fuel your life to the next level Think about your life It's a place you live and will always live. So why now? Are you sabotaging your future? You need to make your life something Something better than just somewhere you live So what are you going to do today? You can make a change little switches Actions that can make you define you wake up an hour earlier Replace your sandwich with a salad These changes will become habits habits that can transform your life forever You will become a better person you are the better person All you have to do is stand up to that role stand up for yourself and start living your life for what it is an opportunity an opportunity to succeed to be a leader to have power and control over the decisions you make You have the potential all you have to do is use it Spark your potential Drive your motivation be creative and design a life where you see yourself Succeeding a life where you can respect and have the confidence in the choices that you make So work our Be strong have courage start the journey and succeed It's like you just do what's hard until it's not hard anymore It's like if you broke your hand and you weren't used to riding with that hand and then you're forced to you know Write or to use chopsticks or to do something once you do it enough it becomes you know a casual thing to do You know once you get that taste of victory and you're like wow well, maybe well I want to keep going on this path Visualize definitely that's kind of the thing for me. It's always been like well, what's my cut? what's it gonna look like and what's it gonna feel like and what am I gonna be wearing and what every little detail and And visualize yourself winning, you know, like what are you gonna do after you know? you just project it in it and it happens and I've always kind of like Set goals for myself. That's a huge one set the goal of like what do you really want to do? Like what's what is it in the end for me? I would always set up like a fun goal and then like a serious goal You know, even those slight step backs are actually you know to leap forward in a way, you know Cuz how are you gonna know where you lay in the whole? You know field of things and what's going on is to take a step back and then go okay you reassess refocus You know, and I've been to contests before where I really wanted to win I put everything on the line for that event And I didn't win and I went like man you put too much pressure on it. You know, you did this you did that I you know, there's such thing as over practicing too, you know, a lot of guys show up at the competitions and they You know, there's two hours to ride they ride from there The first one there at the gate they ride two hours and then you know the Atlanta there run, you know 15 perfect runs and then they get to the contest and they fall I'm like, yeah Cuz even you just nailed it 15 - you know, it's like rolling dice. You're gonna hit seven, but you're gonna crap that and and You know like save it for the for the real contest like, you know, you got it You got a you know be your own friend in that that's area In that in that moment of like well, I put in the work and it's the actual like that's what you're going for And yeah you said in business you can fail here and there and it's the same idea of like trying something over and over and just Finally cracking the code on it. And then once you get that win you get that experience and know that you can't succeed it's it's that that like I said in competition that seed of doubt goes away and You show up to win every time it just that's the only option, you know And and and once that's the only option it's even more obtainable You know you have that in you and Projecting that positive thing always just leads to the better outcomes either way you know and and and even with pressure as well when when people say like how do you deal with the pressure and I'm just so thankful for the pressure, you know Like they're like everybody thinks you're gonna win the Olympics and I go well if everybody thinks I'm gonna win That's great. Like that's that's a lot of people believing in me thinking that I can do it Hey, maybe I just might be able to do it You know if you instead of letting it weigh me down like oh my God All these people are expecting this for me and and I'm expecting this from myself and it's just too much I can't hit like no, it's such a it's a blessing. It's a great thing to have people Counting on you and needing that and it's all kind of leading up to that sort of like, you know You can win you've felt it before you you know, what's obtainable everybody else believes in you? It's like you're team rather than letting it weigh you down So if you can kind of put that subtle spin on things and use it to your advantage. It's always a better scenario and you keep trying to better your craft and And then within that there's a team element got to know your strengths and your weaknesses It's kind of like knowing yourself as well and knowing your strengths and your weaknesses and and kind of sticking to that What are you really good at? And what are you not and and Being real and honest with yourself about it. There's a difference between like working hard It's something that you're not good at and forcing it and that's kind of the inner question. You have to ask Positivity can change the outlook of your whole day your productivity increased work rate increases where your life falls into place with one switch of perspective one change of attitude on just one day can change your whole future Your future is in your hands and this is what you can achieve Just keep going When it hurts, just keep going when you fail Just keep going and when you fall just keep going when you want to give up Just keep going when your luck is done. Just keep going. Don't stop. Just keep going Don't wait. Just keep going No matter what keep moving Stopping is for quitters if you lose It's okay, as long as you keep going and as long as you keep moving But if you lose and you stop then you have failed you're relentless You will push push farther than before climb higher and crime the heights You've not seen because progress is progress. It doesn't matter if you move forward ten percent or 0.01 percent as long as you move forward as long as you do this day in and day out because above everything else Consistency is key. If you consistently take small steps one day you're gonna look back and see just how far you've come Today can transform to become something with potential all it takes is a smile Seeing life from a different angle you have this power now is the time to become someone You know someone you trust someone you can believe in Today right now is the foundation for progress Progress takes you towards a future where you succeed succeed towards a life better than best This attitude takes you to a place full of potential This is the time to finally succeed a place full of potential This is where it begins You know I always see those guys who come in to the gym and they work intensely for just one three hour session and then I Never see him again. I see the guy getting up at 4:00 a.m. For a week And then he never does it again But the guy who trains one hour a day consistently all year Beats the other guys the guy who wakes up at 6 a.m. Every morning Consistently beats the other guy. It's about consistency consistently moving forward Little steps every day over the year. It's gonna add up Small moves in the direction of your goal every day are going to add up light up your day Become something become something of substance Change takes work work Hard work work that directs you towards your future fueled on success your success For this to happen the work starts now your life starts. Now. This is where everything finally falls into place Everything defined by you and only you Soon you're gonna be where you want to be, but you must keep moving forward You can't stop and you can't stand still You've got to keep pushing and you got to keep going and you have to be the clock you're always running you are always consistent and Constant, you're not a quitter. You are not a stopper You are a winner because you never give up you will succeed because you're moving in the right direction Take this risk for your future for a life full of strength a life with a future That is worthy of your work Yesterday I had a long Time to think about my life So I sat down and I wrote a list Thought of all the dreams I've ever had from the earliest memory I've ever had and I stared at this list that I made fantasy or not so I made a promise to myself I Knew I had to achieve as much as I possibly could I knew I could start today with a different purpose than yesterday Do you know you're why? Because I had everything I could ever need to check out these goals it was so simple, you know what it was belief, I Now had the drive the drive to make it through the list to take off each goal day by day How about tomorrow? You make the same list I have tomorrow before you even had the chance to wake up grab a piece of paper and a pen and Basically write them down take the burden out of your head and then I want you to stare at them Look at them face to face stand up to your fears Use this list as your superpower Every day look at this list to inspire you Use this list to drive you forward feel the satisfaction of crossing them out ticking them off and completing your goals Make this list your power the power that you need to succeed the power You need to move so far past your potential that you become the person you never thought you could become Make it past your fears make it through your boundaries make it past the rejection the regret and change You are more than what you achieve Because you are the person that has grown The person with the determination to make it past the list you originally made to complete the goals. You thought were unimaginable And that lights gonna get better if you believe it will There just having that blind faith that you know, whatever is happening to you right now it's meant to happen for you for a greater good and I know it's gonna it's tough right now for you to hear that but You can you look at it two ways you can you look at it that this is like what was me? this is gonna happen this happening to me and I'm going to You know blame everybody else and respond in a way that's gonna make my life worse Or I can acknowledge that I'm using the situation to become a better version of me to be able to help other people going forward and I think with that it kind of gives you a positive approach to it where they can look at it and say You know what? Like I'm going through this pain right now. I acknowledge I'm going through it, but it's gonna be make me make me one hell of a man growing up and that Ultimately is gonna save my ass, you know as I grow up You got yourself here you're here right now and you can you know man up and do what you need to do to get better or you can be a Cry in the corner blaming everybody for your problems say what was me? And I think sometimes in our lives when we're feeling that hopelessness We're in that rat race of just feeling sorry for ourselves and saying your life is never gonna get better it's tough and I think especially we don't believe have that belief in ourselves when somebody says I believe in you and you can do It and I'm gonna help show you the way to get you started I was like, I never had anybody do that to me before that unconditional love. I just felt like this void being filled Whether we believe we can we believe we can't right it's the same answer and for me, I always believed that I couldn't I'm not going to be able to do it on that and Your your own direction Your your own power and your your own beginning? This is the power that you deserve and the power that honestly you should trust Remember your life is in your control not anybody else's a lot of people are gonna tell you to do this or do that or say I'm just a part of my environment. That's not true in your hands This very moment is your journey the journey that allows you to be someone fueled by your potential Keep going. Keep going keep going. Now. Is it the time to wait now isn't the time to waste? Let this be the power that takes you towards your success. This is the opportunity you've earned This is the potential you've always had step out of the crowd and step into your success and I think in life we can't change the past right we can only learn and grow from it So there's no sense in like harping on the mistakes. You made they're done Like I always say fail more because if you never made a mistake It means you never tried if you never tried. It means you never took a chance That you never took a chance never believe in yourself. You never had faith and faith. We need faith You need to believe in yourself and it doesn't matter how many times you failed What matters is you keep getting up every day and trying again and that's what really is Important knowing that you know each day you have an opportunity to change. Keep going keep going Keep going Take the risks that allow you to become something more that allow you to change your view on life that allow you to look through a different pair of eyes one that grants you the power to see something and then know how to change it to look at life as an Opportunity an opportunity to feel like somebody new someone with the potential that to keep keep moving forward We're not defined by our circumstance, we're defined by the choices we make in response to our circumstances And I think people don't they don't like to look at pain. Like they don't people like you're afraid of pain They don't want to be hurt they want to be coddled and they want this they want that pains great, man And I think we need to change the way we view pain because pain Can really be the catalyst for purpose. I mean you think about working out, right? One of the things I love about Fitness is how it can be Such an influential part in so many other areas your life. You have to fail to grow stronger You have to fail to run faster. You have to be in pain And so using that pain to get better and you grow from it Graft until you feel pain Rise from your toes up to the highest point of your head not until then will you know? You've made it made it past the fear past failure and towards achievement You are in the right place. Your place is here This is where it all starts where your life finally falls into place where you don't just see progress You become it. You have it you feel it within you this is when you know, you've made it when you know, you've grown Trusting the process being patient if they're they're not seeing results as fast as they want Quitting isn't gonna help them get there So I just try to help them see that just change their mindset change their perspective be grateful you know be as positive as you can be because I Think positivity is one of those It's like one of those buzz words now I'd be positive be this be that What you can't be positive at everything cuz there's some things in life that suck that you got to do look at be like well I'm a hundred pounds overweight like that sucks But I think the key is being positive about the way you're going about doing things what changes things is if you're pessimistic and negative you're not gonna do and I think So many people are afraid to look at themselves in the mirror and realize that there's a problem like they realize that they're the ones complaining and moaning and that them being coddled and Sugarcoating everything is the reason that they're not getting anywhere life Reaching a goal sucks takes a lot of hard work But not achieving the goal sucks even more. So choose your suck. Do you want to suck? I'm not achieving it or do you want to suck by working hard putting in passion putting in? Disciplined commitment and hard work and then achieving something And that's how you build confidence is, you know tackling things you never thought you could do trying things and failing and getting back up and keep them going and keep them going and Like it doesn't matter how many times you get punched in the mouth it matters How many times you fight back and I think a lot of times Tom like I love this analogy because it relates to so many people in in a fight if You and I were to sit here and I were just - you were to start punching me at random sucker punching me like when I stand here let you beat the piss out of me like I would hope not right but in life We went like beat the piss out of us and we make our circumstances even worse by when a negative event happens we get depressed we feel pity for ourselves and we turn to quick fixes like drugs alcohol and it makes our situation worse so when you unpack the layer and you give that tough love of saying You know what like need to change like you need to look at yourself in the mirror and stop being a victim Stop blaming other people and take ownership for yourself and stop waiting for other people to fix your life What is it that you're waiting for? How much do you want it ask yourself this what's more valuable? Waiting or your time your power and your action This is where your journey starts This is where you grow grow adapt improve to become the person you admire This is you. This can be you I Think our belief system about ourselves can be so like hijacked Based on what people others say about us and then we start to believe it whether it's like, you know, you're ugly You're a pussy. You suck. You suck. You're unathletic you're on that and then sure enough. It happens over years You start to believe that about yourself if you have no confidence in who you are and I think the more you can own who? You are and just chase after your own dreams and stop worrying about everybody else Then those things start to become lies when people are say you know What your pieces you suck when you know, if you know about yourself like that, that's not true. I mean, that's what self-love is It's just really knowing truly inside of you who you are Why thank you I look at your why like why you're doing it cuz I think when you have a strong enough why like the what's in the House becoming irrelevant you remember like why you started? Because I think we spend so much time worrying about what everybody else is doing We've lost track of who we are as a person right and just looking within Whether that's in meditation or prayer or journaling to really figure out like the things we like the people we like, you know where we like going and all that stuff and then Kind of filter that into your life organically in order to get where you're going. You gotta know where you're at. Keep going Keep going. Keep going. You have this power Communicate your problems communicate the power you know that you have this is the beginning of your power the start of your progress This is where it starts this is where you become something something better than now where you build a life for yourself One where you hold the reins where you make the final cut where you have that power This risk is what will take you in the direction where you control your life at last? So you have to deliberately practice the weaknesses and make them as strong as you can While also practicing your strengths and making those the top of your performance. Most people are too lazy to do that They just want to practice everything or they don't want to even bother to figure out which piece is the most important You have to dig the well before you're thirsty and you have to give without the attachment to getting something in return so when people want to reach out Stop thinking about what's in it for you Start thinking about only what's in it for other people and if you don't worry about what's in it for you You will find opportunities that come later down the line and to sort of illustrate this when I moved to LA I had a toothache and it started to get more and more painful and it Really was starting to just dig into my brain. I couldn't think I didn't have a car and moved from New York This is pre uber I didn't have dental insurance because I was 27 and you know Who cares about your teeth right you think about those later? I'll get new ones And so I started to desperately call dentists and they were like look I don't take new patients or I can see you in a week. Go to the ER if you have a toothache And I'm thinking a week. I haven't slept, you know, this thing is killing me. So I post it on Facebook And obviously I didn't have my privacy settings set correctly because of random stranger Filled in the comment and said my aunt's a dentist near you. Do you want me to give a recall? I said sure Yeah, so I went to his aunt the next morning before they officially opened got that thing drilled the hell out Got it filled. She didn't overcharge me. I send this guy a message. Thank you so much. He goes, no problem, man I don't know what you do I heard you have some show that my friend likes But I'm glad you got your tooth taken care of and I said let me know if there's anything I can do He said well, I'm a graphic designer, but I'm working at a cafe right now as a barista I would love to just not make another cup of coffee again, and I said well, I don't have any work for you But I'll keep my ear to the ground said whatever you can do. No problem I don't expect you to give me a job four days later. Another entrepreneur friend of mine She writes me and says my web guys are blowing it. I keep firing them who can create good branding for me I said I've never worked with this guy but here's a portfolio. He's a nice person That's really all I can say that guy got a full-time job as far as I know still works there years later designing websites and templates and themes and branding for this woman's company because he helped me find a dentist on Facebook so if he'd been thinking, how do I get a job? He would never have made that in to a dentist because there the connection the nexus is unclear the opportunity lie over the horizon But since he was helping without the attachment or expectation of anything in return He ended up finding an opportunity through me that I didn't know about and that he didn't know about but you won't find those unless you were constantly reaching out digging the well before you're thirsty and giving without that expectation of Anything in return? Keep going keep going keep going we all have potential so What's stopping you? What we have to do is figure out where to Channel it and what are those steps? There's no gatekeepers to capital anymore. There's no exclusive Country Club or college or this or that and We're all interconnected. So it doesn't matter whether in a big city or in Botswana. You can still reach six billion consumers What's stopping you That fear of bail That oh, if I fail, what will people say failing is a great thing failing teaches you what doesn't work Failure is throwing in the towel. So you take that job to be secure you go for that big fortune 500 company and Most unfortunate 500 companies go out of business. There's less than 10% of them What's stopping you that's amazing statement of the original list. So it's not the security that's robbing ambition It's the illusion of security of the Rob's ambition. So the biggest risk you can take in life It's not taking one If you're at that point where your middle career and you lost your job? Or you're just out of college and starting or just out of high school Go talk to senior citizen about what they really regret about their lives And it's not what they fail that it's what they didn't try It's the regrets of why didn't I so if you try something and you fail you learn a skill set for something else? As people have problems in their lives and most people sit there and dwell on the problems or they relive yesterday every day you spend living Yesterday's problem you're giving up your future. It makes no sense. But if you say I have problems All right. Am I unique? Am I the only one that has these problems and the answer probably is no, okay So find a problem that a lot of people have Solve it, and that's all the being entrepreneurs That's all the business person is. The more problems you have in your life the more successful you'll be What's stopping you dozens of your friends become billionaires? We weren't brighter. We didn't go to the right schools. We can't do anything. What happened? The world changed. Well the world's continuing to change We have self-made billionaires in their 20s happening almost monthly. They've the same 24 hours a day that you and I do What are they doing different? What are they doing that can be learned from and copied and emulator to solve a different problem And if you're not motivated by money How to use these same tools to change the world because the world's got left What else is a problem that you aren't identifying because you've accepted that's the way it gives that's way to always be What are you passionate about and what affects the most people? all the big Famous people that you hear about, you know Richard Branson and Steve Jobs and and and Zuckerberg and I read they're no different than you are right 77% of the billionaires are self-made, so You can achieve this now. It's not going to be easy. You don't just wake up on Tuesday and become rich on Wednesday but it doesn't take any more effort than going to a job that you hate and Unless you believe in reincarnation you got one shot on this planet one shot so don't you want to make a difference don't you want to Leave something behind and make the planet better than you found it Why are you here? What do you want to accomplish with your life? And it doesn't have to be being Rennicks and it doesn't have to be money oriented the same principles and disrupt you You can change the educational system. You can change healthcare. I mean, I am humbled by what I'm seeing People create around the world with so little but we are on this ball together We can solve problems together. We can make a better future together. You know, it's an optimistic story That you get to write your piece of the story. I mean Why wouldn't people want to? Push their potential so aim for the stars of you to make it all the way you made it to the moon, you know I had and Everyone should spend their time trying to be around people that you feel are smarter than you that doesn't necessarily mean more educated you Don't have to be the best be the best of what you do or the only one doing it because if you're the only one doing it to be the best and That's a lot better than competing And then at some point we become a national settlers that just settle for the way it is we gotta get more of that pioneer thing because There's so much abundance and it's not an us-versus-them Everybody can benefit why wouldn't you want that? What's stopping you? There's one way you should see life Life is an opportunity you Have this opportunity for reason that reason is to succeed Succeed far past fears past doubts past your insecurities empowering yourself toward the finish line Success can only occur if you put in the work If your progress comes first This power can take you towards the life more than normally more than worthy because you're more than worth Now is the time to make this opportunity your opportunity is more than this It's your potential to succeed use your potential use it as your superpower because that's what it is Power power to succeed to achieve How badly do you want something how much do you want it?

Your power is stronger than you could ever imagine this progress is gonna take time but This opening the work This opening that you have in this moment. It's not always open.
