Change Your Life In 30 Days | Powerful Motivational Speeches To Start Your Day Right

[Music] thank you at night the sky becomes visible the darkness the muting out of everything else allows the Stars to finally shine through to make their presence known and during the day conversely one cannot see those stars but the world around him on the ground becomes illuminated it's a push and pull that seems to work perfectly [Music] and I think there's something poetic about the partnership existing between the big picture goal and the small steps required to bring it to life as one of my favorite sayings goes keeping your head in the clouds and your feet on the ground because here's what's interesting if one were to only look up at the goal she'd be consistently reminding herself of the ideal without taking the necessary steps to get there and if one were to only look down at her feet well her steps would eventually become aimless and it's that Duality right the need to both reassure yourself you can see the stars as well as use the world around you to pull yourself closer to them that changes things it's that beautiful dance that has to be maintained and this is a balancing act that has certainly been challenging sometimes the pendulum swings way too far one way sometimes way too far the other but in a perfect world you wanted gravitating towards the center I remember just starting the YouTube channel almost a decade ago having you know big multi-million subscriber goals but completely lacking the systems in everyday practices in place that would walk me towards that finish line right I mean sure something's better than nothing I was working and learning but the actions simply didn't align with the objective I had to correct them and then I've been on the other end as well but I'd be doing things every day without knowing why all steps no goal that sort of thing occurs when routine takes on a life of its own you start doing things because well it's what I do is what I've always done [Music] and uh you know this is when one has to look in the mirror and ask the difficult questions and look anytime I can squeeze the complexities down into this simple I try and do that so with that in mind my questioning goes like this what do you want know the answer okay good next question is what you're doing taking you closer every day to what you want asking that question in a serious way takes a spotlight to one's world using my previous metaphor it shuts the lights off so the north star becomes visible and then right turns them back on to ask yourself if you're using your resources to move there and I've become pretty good at asking myself this question consistently and still I find things that don't belong to sort of you know they hide in plain view I have faith that I'll end up exactly where I need to be but that faith is rooted in my commitment to continually assess to scrutinize and adjust there's very little hope [Music] and a substantial amount of trust in my ability to continue forward [Music] there's an idea referred to as the Stockdale paradox which states and this is the the first definition I grab from Google here you must never confuse faith that you'll Prevail in the end which you can never afford to lose with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality whatever they might be that's where the tough love thing comes in be your biggest fan because no one will believe in you unless you do it all starts with your trust in yourself to navigate the process and arrive where you must arrive but it also requires you are your biggest critic it means the reason you trust yourself to get there is because you know you won't just sit back and say I'll win because I believe I'll win no you'll win because you will while having your head in the clouds be brutally pragmatic with the steps you're taking on the ground you'll win because you're committed to learning and adjusting one of my favorite epiphanies when I started doing this full-time was the realization at a very small scale at first that whoa someone can't fail unless they quit [Music] can't lose unless you stop impossible someone might think right well no because when you miss the mark Or you fall short you take a second to understand why and then you come back to the problem or challenge again right this means life is a game of tenacity of Persistence of commitment the one who keeps adjusting and coming back is bound to connect the dots eventually which makes failure the simple decision that yeah this isn't worth it for me I don't want to continue adjusting and re-engaging with this and look hey depending on the situation that may be the move right there have been things in my life where after sufficient trial and error sufficient data I've said this doesn't align with who I am or what I want I'm gonna walk away and pivot to something that does right but the key is knowing that it is a decision to not reach a particular goal is a choice to no longer attack it relentlessly [Music] and so when you feel lost or defeated or even frustrated with the process try that line of questioning what do I want and is what I'm doing today bringing me there this allows you to start taking a sledgehammer to the things that don't belong refining the process and yeah sometimes walking away from the things that are no longer in the scope of who you want to be and where you're going [Music] but the power is in knowing it's in understanding that your footsteps the little actions of your you know your day-to-day they are incredibly powerful [Music] but most of all when you are methodical with them when they're pointed in the right direction so pick your stars carefully and own those steps that take you towards them failure is not a sickness you catch it doesn't fall on your head like a piano in those old cartoons it's a choice meaning in positive terms as long as you are committed to learn reapproach and repeat you will find yourself Atop The Mountain as long as you're willing to evolve [Music] you will ultimately arrive [Music] [Music] the difficulty we face in life is not personal if you remember this you disarm every adversary obstacle every complication you'll ever face so quick story recently I was renewing a lease for my apartment something that usually is pretty simple right only this time things were not simple confusion chaos misunderstanding after misunderstanding I received emails and letters saying you know you need to provide these documents in order to renew you need to have x y z information submitted to his ASAP and I'm sitting here thinking guys you have all this info right I've lived here a year same guy let's put two and two together and after a while I started to get like truly annoyed eventually to the point of taking it personally so I stopped what I was doing go down to the front office thinking I'm gonna go scorched Earth here I really wanted to emphasize how absurd and ridiculous all this was I opened the door it just kind of stopped in my tracks first thing I see it's a crowded room filled with tenants asking for things making requests looking for info and the people that work there were so patient and kind running around doing their absolute best to make everyone happy and get everything done and almost immediately I realized Eddie you made this about you this is not in any way about you basically I created this fallacy that because things weren't working the way I wanted them to then there must have been some Universal resistance right there's an idea I heard a while back that very rarely steers me wrong is that two things can simultaneously be true at once so in this case is there opportunity for these guys to tighten up a bit bring more clarity to their operations and best practices yeah certainly true but on the other hand was building this up as of them versus me match in my head dumb and counterproductive yes also true the world will always provide adversity right that's not news to anyone it's just what the world does that adversity will take a thousand different shapes and appear an infinite number of ways but here's the deal life is neutral things just happen they aren't good or bad they just exist in The Ether we as storytellers decide to put a charge into things we decide whether it's happening to us or for us we choose and that's the takeaway here there's power in Remembering not to take things personally in any aspect of life because when we do we actually lose our grip on reality we become emotional and not rational and this is visible everywhere and take rejection for example something we all deal with it's not personal the person on the other end is thinking about themselves they're locked in on their own incentives they're not thinking about you and however you feel about this it's just the truth so assess the situation sure maybe find some areas where you can improve and carry on being mistreated again not about you as the saying goes hurt people hurt people same goes for criticism and hate online right something that a lot of people truly fear it will almost always be true that people who are more accomplished than you or further along in their career trajectory won't waste time bringing you down in the comment section no it's people saying things hoping that their comments will get approval and attention so they can feel validated their actions are being carried out for ready for this themselves and to misdiagnose or take it as a shot to the heart well that's creating a battle scenario that doesn't need to exist it's not them versus you it's them versus them you're just in the crossfire now does this perspective or or point to not take things personally uh mean that we abdicate personal responsibility does it mean we say well it's not me it's it's the world so not my problem no of course not right this perspective gives you the power to do the right things and the necessary things because you understand that the problems you face are not a giant indictment of you as a person getting angry creates a scenario where you know you reallocate your your energy from doing what's best for you to instead being mad at him or her or this group or that circumstance or the world in general you know bad things happen and by the way they happen to everyone gets rejected at some point everyone gets let down by people close to them at some point everyone loses their way at some point everyone has their expectations fall short everyone has pushed back it's not just you it's the world doing what the world does and there's eight billion of us running around operating uh in our best interest trying to navigate a big crazy world that's often incredibly difficult to understand so with this perspective right going forward you know my lesson from a few weeks ago what would I have done differently during all that chaos with the apartment a handful of things and first of all remind myself that in the grand scheme of things it's trivial it's just not that important to understand incentives like these folks aren't trying to make things hard for me they're trying to do their jobs well so they can live their best lives which brought their attention to other things it happens and three when you're calm you can actually solve the problems at hand when you don't stack your problems up to look like adversaries working against you when you instead see them as merely a challenge or puzzle to be solved Life Starts to look a lot different it just feels different to walk around as though life is on your side as though hardship is nothing more than the water necessary for the seed to grow as though all those challenges you face are opportunities being presented to you because I'm not sure you can simultaneously fight and solve I think one of our most important decisions is to select one you can make the rejection an opponent the criticism arrival you can make the disorder your nemesis or you can realize that all of it falls squarely into the box that is life is to be taken out one by one so that you can construct the ideal life comes down to the advantages that exist all around us the choices we make to live freely with the wind at our backs or confined by the walls we build around ourselves and sure your current obstacles might be because of decisions you've made maybe even decisions you wish you could take back but the current moment right now in this second is neutral it does not hold a grudge or have an agenda now right now is simply right now in the same way that two plus two is four four is not good or bad it doesn't want you to win or lose it's just four same goes for the crossroads before you and that puts the onus entirely on you to decide what you will make it all mean will you slow things down to find Clarity will you open your eyes to see the value because look there will always be a Delta between reality and the stories we tell ourselves about reality that's just how human beings work it's how we've managed to survive for millennia so understand that and gift yourself the narratives that bring you closer to the place you want to be the road before you will be challenging not because it's pushback is personal but because amidst the resistance you'll find the components you need to live your very best life [Music] of all life's lessons it's my relationship with what it means to suffer that's transformed my reality something that's learned not unlike one's ability to read or write an understanding that unlocks the door to fulfillment Nietzsche says to live is to suffer to survive is to find meaning in the suffering Dostoevsky says pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and deep heart the really great men must I think have great sadness on Earth Helen Keller says although the world is full of suffering it's also full of the overcoming of it our problem is not that we suffer our problem is that we don't know how to perceive it when it inevitably arrives we are taught that it's synonymous with a giant street sign saying wrong way we're taught that the perfect life is free of its grasp it's why when suffering does arrive we're so inclined to run from it I reference my experience as a D1 rower often not because I stood out or even really because of my love for the sport I reference it because it is the point in my life when I learned to suffer when I learned what I could put my body through my mind through and see that like all things discomfort simply ends and life is different on the other side that's why I talk about waking up to go to the gym in the morning when it's still dark in the middle of winter the practices that made me throw up having three exams two papers but thinking about a 2K test because part of me couldn't believe I was doing it because up until that point in my life I would have simply said no that's why I reference the three of us Walk-Ons that were their senior year out of this 60 plus that showed up freshman year we built a relationship with suffering you understand what opens up to you when you agree to for a moment in time walk through those flames of hell it's not a trick or a complex formula it's just taking yourself to places most haven't learned to go not because they can't but because they haven't learned when you know you can push yourself far beyond what you thought possible not only survive but come back renewed re-energize the different understanding of the world it's hard to see anything is too much or outside the realm of possibility in my personal life I can make difficult decisions in my professional life I can sit down and write when I don't want to when I feel like I can't I can take on projects that scare them that take me so far outside my comfort zone my ceilings have no choice but to become floors you elevate yourself with EGS Gustav Lanson says there is no art without commitment and suffering that is not a demon to be avoided it's truly the beginning of everything Jocko he says discipline equals freedom of what is discipline if not one's ability to accept and harness suffering to teach yourself not to step back but forward into it into the chaos into the disarray that's where our lives are assembled it's where we are made and so my message is where you would once say no dare to say yes even if it's a footstep a moment one toe in the water teach yourself that the very discomfort you've been running away from that most run away from will be the reason your life transforms change isn't a miracle it's a decision [Music] foreign sometimes the moment has a way of appearing bigger than it really is sought let me explain there was this kid when I was in first grade let's just call him Mike and what Mike would do was follow us all around the classroom and outside at recess would constantly look for reasons to quote unquote to tell the teacher on you right dude was an absolute menace I'm 35 and I still remember Mike my buddies and I would be you know playing basketball outside uh you know maybe just learn some awesome four-letter words would love to give him a test run but no not if Mike was around Mike would go right to the teacher and see we feared Mike because we feared being in trouble now as time passes yeah you look back and realize how absolutely ridiculous that is I want to shake younger me and say who cares about Mike go live your life he doesn't matter the reality is at the time he did matter he mattered a lot because he was the personification of uh what was most scary to us in the moment right as a child avoiding being in trouble or time out or whatever it was uh seemed to be a big deal and here's what I think I think every chapter of life has a mic not in the literal sense but in the sense that there's something we fear something that consumes our time and attention something that's been inflated to a state far greater than it really should have been that has an impact disproportionate to reality because as real as it seems in the moment a few years down the road we'll do the usual you know shake our head and laugh about the seemingly obvious lack of perspective during that chapter hindsight being 2020 will be shocked we couldn't see what we eventually came to see but that's what growth is it's a good thing we want to evolve no one wants to be the same in 10 years see life the same way in 10 years but it's also an opportunity to obtain some perspective to understand that our current fears aren't all we've built them up to be we just can't see it yet unfortunately the dust has to settle before the picture makes sense just like right now we can't judge the world around us the same way historians will be able to with clarity that's why I often referenced Ronnie Ware's top five regrets of the dying because it's a list of things people in their final stages of life look back on and say yeah that was dumb it's people who have already walked the path pointing out the metaphorical mics they've encountered along the way because here's the deal the root of our stagnation the root of our frustration our despair comes down to fear in some capacity right when you dig deep it's a fear of leaving or staying a fear of criticism fear of unknowns fear of letting down the people we do know our demons are manufactured they're comprised of fear fear that sure will eventually laugh and shrug off but oh the power in being able to fast forward that sequence to understand that life is too short to be held down by chains of our own making right how about laughing in the face of what intimidates you now not five years from now but now how about looking around and asking yourself what obstacles in your life are Mike esque how about breaking our constraints down into what they've always been manageable tasks simply waiting for us to change the narrative if you weren't pursuing that which is Meaningful it's most likely because somewhere deep down fear is holding you back and that fear is holding you back because let's face it you've let it in see the moment is beautiful it's powerful it has everything you need but it's not bigger than you it never will be bigger than you so let's not wait for some arbitrary time in the future to arrive at that conclusion [Music] foreign
