Ed Mylett ON: Watch These 37 Minutes To COMPLETELY CHANGE Your Life | Jay Shetty

you know I think most people think Jay everyone else is going to die I'll get around to being happy I'll get around to my dreams and then it's another day and another day and they keep it in the distance you only understand the power of one day when you're threatened with never having another one the best-selling author and host the number one Health and Wellness podcast on purpose with Jay Shetty this quote by Thomas Edison said when you feel you've exhausted all options remember this you haven't I love that that's the power of one more or one more and so I have lived this book in my life like I have lived this mindset and it has changed my life because I've always been just one step away one habit away one mindset away from this amazing life that I'm grateful and blessed to live well that's the truth right you're right and I think the great lie in life is that you know some scriptures say well where there's no vision that people will perish whatever your scriptures are if you really do you have no vision if you ask the average person you want to be happy or sad what's your vision they'd say I want to be happy you want to be rich or poor most people say I'd like to be rich do you want to contribute or make no difference in the world I want to contribute do you want beautiful memories or no memories I want memories so there's a vision our issue is depth perception we think it's further away than it is and because we think it's so far away Jay we create patterns and behaviors in our life that perpetually keep it there oh and that's what we do in our life but what if that's the great lie of life and what if the truth is that you're one relationship away one meeting away one conversation one podcast one interview one new thought one new emotion one new tactic or strategy away from completely changing the trajectory of your life and everyone that you and I know that we both worked with that were blessed to work with in our lives the truth is it was one decision one meeting one extra rep one more phone call one thing they did that changed their trajectory then the question then becomes how do I do it and so the strategies are in the book but conceptually that's a hundred percent how you change your life yeah and you you're so right I I was thinking about this this morning last year I had a double hernia surgery on the front like so I could then walk for about a month and when I say I couldn't walk I mean like I literally couldn't oh my gosh it was like I was like I felt like I was teaching myself to walk again like that's how it felt it's really interesting what you just said about how we perpetually push it far away I would wake up every morning and my mind or my initial mindset was like it will be gone today yeah it must have gone today like today it will be fully healed I'll be fine today and I would wake up and I wouldn't be and I would feel like healing was so far away yes it would be like 80 away that I was missing out on the one percent change since yesterday you got it since yesterday I made one percent change I was I wasn't feeling the same pain in my nerves I was able to be flexible by one percent more yes and I was missing out on all of that because I was so obsessed with how far I was that's the journey and what happens is when you live with an expectation that these one More's exist the reticular activating system in your mind filters them into your awareness I call it the Matrix in the second chapter of the book when you wake up believing hey I'm one decision away I'm one meeting away one relationship away that's not hokey your mind begins to filter the people places and things into your awareness you develop something called sensory acuity you hear conversations you weren't hearing we've all had that experience where we're on an airplane I can't stop hearing these people over here or you walk in a loud room but you can hear your own name auditorily over all the other names the room that's because it's important to you and it matters you see things and so when something becomes important to you and you believe it to be true the RAS goes to proving it for you and when I learned this ironically I talk about in the book is my father was an alcoholic and had tried to get sober many many times and I'll never forget it Jay we were driving to a baseball game of mine my dad started crying I'd never seen my dad cry before and he pulls the car over and he still isn't looking at me but he's crying and he says Eddie and then he turns to me and he goes I'm gonna try to get sober and I'll never forget this brother he goes one more time wow and I said really Daddy he goes I'm going to give it one more try and I said to him I said why would this be any different this time and he said never said this to me before he goes because I I love you and you deserve it father you can be proud of and you can't be proud of me right now and I think every great thing we do in life is one away but it's also born from love to talk about your book when you love people or you love something so deeply if that love is greater than what the obstacles might be now you got a shot to do it then my dad gets sober he comes home from rehab I say Daddy are you never gonna drink again and he said I can't promise you that I can promise you I'm not going to drink for one more day at a time wow and he lasted the rest of his life stacking those one more days up so I know the power of one more the other thing I also know humans can change I watched my hero do it I watched my dad live my first 15 years so I'm in a lot of fights wow a lot of lying a lot of difficult times and then I saw this man transform and in life we're most qualified to help the person we used to be and what we think in life and I hope everybody gets this we think the things we're most ashamed of embarrassed by our divorce our bankruptcy or maybe we've just always been average and ordinary this disqualifies me from being successful and happy what if that's not true what if the hardest things of your life are the very things that qualify you I'll give you an example you know my dad got sober somebody helped him my dad was going to take his life or lose his family and I didn't know who it was until months ago some precious human being whom I didn't know in my dad's Darkest Hour of his life Jay said I'll help you I'll help you little to that person no I'd be his son and I'd help millions of people and I'd be on Jay Shetty show and we both help millions of people and the more ironic thing that this person helped my dad is what qualified them to help my dad they were a drunk they were an alcoholic they at one time were a drug addict they at one time were lying and stealing and living in the shadows the very thing that person probably figured that disqualifies me from having a successful life was the one thing that did qualify them to help my dad so if you're listening to this and you've had something you're ashamed of or a failure or a setback you're most qualified to help the people you used to be yeah and that person that alcoholism they suffered with their drug addiction helped my dad live those one more days forever uh that that is the best explanation I've heard of how pain turns into purpose right the thing that brought you down that broke you down that made you feel like you were losing everything that's right gave you back everything when you used that to serve the people that were struggling with it and then there's then there's a purpose and you know if you can survive the temporary pain in your life and all pain is temporary I watched my father pass away last year he was in tremendous pain even our bodies are determined only our souls are permanent if you can survive the temporary on the other side of temporary pain you meet another version of yourself another insight about yourself and that's why it's so important to grow as a person because the more we grow and become a new person we can help those that used to be like us that's why you and I are so addicted to growing and learning and we're curious because if you used to be a broken person and you no longer are quite as broken you can help broken people if you used to be broke financially and you no longer are you can help people whatever you do for a living at one time you didn't know about it and now you do you can help those who need to know about it and so you're immensely qualified if you understand the power of doing one more oh I love it I love it tell me about so let's say and you've probably come up against this all the time a lot of the people say okay I'm gonna practice that I'm With You Ed I love you and Jay I'm listening and I go yes I'm going to practice the power of one more now what I find and this is why you're so great at teaching this because you're not teaching it as a gimmick a glitch you're like a little a little affirmation this is like real it makes sense like it works people get so tied to the result that when they try it the next day and the sales meeting doesn't go their way or the pitch doesn't go their way they go ah it doesn't work it doesn't work why didn't it work and how should we respond when we fail or get rejected well it didn't work because you're so attached to the outcome I coach a lot of athletes I know you do as well and one of the things that's a really nuanced thing in life it's great to have goals you should have goals I want to do this or that but in the moment of execution you have to separate from outcome in the moment that you're executing and just be present and exist I talk about this in the book here's what I would say if you're going to win long term 95 of people have a operating system in their mind where they operate out of history and memory I like that and about five percent of humans operate out of vision and Imagination so the reason we're so much happier I believe when we're children is we have no history in memory so we operate of imagination and dreams and vision but at some age some people it's five years old some it's eight some it's 18 some it's 28. they create a history and that history then becomes the operating system so even if they take on a new Behavior or tactic they're operating out of a pattern of thought and belief that's historic and memory based and so the number one thing I would say is begin to operate out of your imagination again out of your vision again create from that place if you create from that place now you're not tied to the result in that moment you're giving yourself space to imagine and create something new in your life that I never heard that in that language man that is so powerful I you're so right about his kids that we don't have any memory or history so we don't have any blocks we don't have any limits and begin to listen to the people around you people say hey you're the product of who you're hanging around how do I know if they serve me or not here's a way that one way to just deduce this because they could be beautiful people who care about you and they might even support you but when you're with them what are you ever have those friends you're with them you're like you remember when you remember you remember you remember remember that party remember that thing and if your friends are constantly bringing you to the filtration system of memory and history all the time think this through how often are those friends saying hey what are you working on now where are you going what's your vision what do you want to create and maybe that sounds hokey but you and I have some of the some of our both our friends have the most amazing histories and you can't get them to talk about them no you have to work because what are they still doing yeah they're talking about now and where they're going their Viewpoint in their life is being present and having a vision for the future yeah a formula for misery a formula for lack of creativity lack of productivity is constantly being history and memory even if it's good it doesn't serve us and for most of us it's not good and we keep living from it or trying to move away from it create a new future don't move away from the past create a brilliant imaginative curious vibrant vision for your life oh I love that yeah we're always trying to create the same past yes as opposed to a new future and I find that what's really interesting about that oldest study showed that Nostalgia makes us believe that the past was more phenomenal than it actually was if you remember that party you went to a college it's better in your memory than it actually was if you actually could have gone back and remembered how you felt hungover and what you broke a bone or whatever happened but now in your memory it's beautiful beautiful right so our memory also is slightly warped of the past no question you can make things feel much better or much worse sometimes no question but what's what's really coming out for me right now is this idea that it's it's something you said a couple of moments ago and and it sparked a thought for me I remembered a story that Vanessa Bryan told about Kobe Bryant after he passed away I was fortunate enough to interview him around three months before it before his tragic passing and she told this story and she said that Kobe would play through every injury he would play through every pain he had played through everything even in the doctors and his coaches would say stop playing and she asked him she said once why he still plays right again going back to our curiosity not assuming you know your partner she asked him why do you still play and this is just her and him there's no cameras there's no she's telling this story but at the time it was just them too he said it's because there's someone who's paid for a ticket today they saved up and this is the only time they're ever going to be able to come maybe a son's maybe a dad's brought his kid maybe someone's come to the game they're a lifelong fan and they came today and today is the only day they're gonna get to see me and if I say I'm injured yes they won't get to see me so I'm gonna play so that that person one person gets to see me play and then he goes and wins yes and it's like that's love that's right that's what you were saying that love for something is in the present moment also right love is not just for the past and it's funny how important one day has been when my dad got sick my dad got cancer when he first got sick he goes hey my dad was a dude he goes look I'll fight this one time okay I'll do your little chemo and your surgery but I'm not gonna pour poison into my body I'm not gonna lose my hair I'm not going to deteriorate I'll give this thing a shot once if it doesn't work I'm out that led to eight years of him fighting it wow chemo radiation proton therapy surgery surgery chemo experimental chemo and he did lose his hair and he was in pain and I'd say to my dad I say Dad you're suffering so much you said you wouldn't suffer he said no Eddie I'm in pain but I'm not suffering I I choose not to suffer and I'm not suffering because I get to see my grandkids again and I said and I just said dad why are you doing this and he said you only understand the power of one day when you're threatened with never having another one I'll do anything for one more day get to be with you one more time give your mom a kiss one more time maybe I'll see one of my granddaughters get married and he goes I'll do anything for one more day the beautiful thing is I was actually with Kobe a week before he passed away we're in the same gym our daughters played volleyball and I ironically that day I watched Kobe walk out of the gym there's only a couple dads left it was late at night he stayed and I stayed and he had his youngest daughter in his arm and he was rubbing his other daughter's back and I remember taking note of it because I was with Bella at the other end of the gym and I remember thinking I don't hug Bella enough I need to hug no joke bro it's in the book I went I gotta hug Bella one more time every day not just once a day plus one more time every day my daughter's gonna get extra hugs because Kobe does that what if I could have said to Kobe when he got in his car Kobe I have one more week ever matters to you make it right call your dad make it right call your mom call your family you what if the day before you could have said Colby one day left and my dad same thing I was with my dad when he had one day left I was with my dad when he had one hour left I was with my dad when he had one breath left and then when we begin to think of our life that way the power of right now and having one more moment and one more minute is so beautiful it's so blessed it's so big it's so amazing why would we spend that minute in history why would we spend that minute in the past when we could be fully present in creating a future and so you know I think most people think Jay everyone else is gonna die I think they just they just I'm never I'm not gonna die or they go I'll get around to being happy I'll get around to making my masterpiece of my life I'll get around to my dreams I'm gonna get around to fixing this relationship that's broken I'm gonna get around to feeling those emotions and then it's another day and another day and they keep it in the distance until there are no more days and I don't care if you're 18 years old listening to this 28 or 48. we don't know if we have one more day or 100 more days or a thousand more days but we know this there'll eventually be a time where we don't have any more days and so why would we spend the ones that are coming looking at the past and so my dad really taught me those lessons and watching him passed away and that's why I have so I have a whole thing in there of how to get 21 days a week run many days I get 21 days a week we still measure time bro like it's 1900. think about 1900 if I want to get you a note I'd have to write a letter out stick it on the back of a horse's butt in 1850 30 days later you get it that was a 24-hour day now I can text you in two seconds we measure time the same way so I teach you how to change your time so that you can make that day it's maximum Bliss it's maximum productivity what's what's one more that you're working on right now right now I'm actually it's an interesting season of my life I have a TV show that you know that I did with NBC that's called change that I think is you know has a chance of getting picked up but my one more that I'm working on right now for me and my life is my peace and so there's this guy Jay Shetty that's a friend of mine that uh introduced me and my family to meditation and I'm giving myself the gift of I don't just do it in the morning now I've given myself the gift of one more time every single day of just emptying my mind and trying to be fully present and it's been worked for me I've got that busy type of a mind but um I have found that my peace in my life most of us Jay have all these goals of things we want to do and they're wonderful and I believe in doing that I think standards are more important than goals because and I teach you in this the book how to set the standards that'll get those goals but we really don't but we really don't want the jet we don't want the hit song we don't want the amazing relationship we don't want the million dollars we don't want the we want how we think it'll make us feel and what if we begin to become more intentional and outcome oriented about the things we feel in our life and it took me a while but now that I'm older when I feel strong when I feel Blissful when I feel peaceful is when I produce the physical things that I want not the other way around and so my one mores are more emotional Focus most of us then I'll come up for air here have an emotional home there's three or four or five emotions we experience on a regular basis I write about it in the book and no matter what happens we find a way even if they don't serve us to get those emotions if your emotional home is fear anxiety worry depression anger you find a way every week to get that emotion but what if that emotional home could become Bliss and peace and joy and creativity and ecstasy and so I'm working on one more beautiful emotion for my emotional moment for me it's peace I love that I love that answer man it's good to hear about what you've been saying like we're not living in the past and you're like in the present but to have you answer that question that peace is your presence like that's what you're looking for right that's that's the present and it shows that you're using this like it works you're doing it time and time again and I love what you said it moves from the physical things into the subtle into the emotional into the the deeper I I think that's so profound what was that one more that if you didn't do it you wouldn't be here today what was what was one of those ones that like ah like that was the one that convinced me apart from obviously a father that you were like ah if I didn't do that I wouldn't be at my let today I wouldn't be maxed out life my first the first business I built was a financial business and I had some success J like a lot of people do in life and then it went backwards and sometimes you get up the flagpole just a little bit and you come back down that's an emotional difficulty could be a relationship that was good that's gone or maybe it saves some money it's gone maybe you lost a bunch of weight and got fit and you gained it back for me it was my business and I called my dad who's a pretty Wise Guy now that he was sober and uh because I could tell you man I'd do one more rep in the gym I haven't done 10 reps on a bench press in 30 years I've done 10 plus one more a lot though I haven't done 45 minutes on a treadmill but I've done 45 plus one more minute 10 contacts a day never ten plus one more but the biggest one more was actually something else I called my dad and I said hey Dad uh it's not gone the business is crashing and I'm running out of money our power was turned off our water was turned off Jay we had to take my wife every morning we'd lost our house we're living in an apartment now then the water got turned off you can't cook you can't bathe there was a apartment building we had an outdoor shower at the swimming pool and I'd have to wear newlyweds and I'd have to get up every morning walk down there and I'd hold a towel up while my wife took her shower every day outdoors and brush your teeth and then she'd switch and hold the towel up for me and I'd walk back up to the apartment and I was so emasculated so ashamed so embarrassed and I was living a nightmare selling a dream to everybody every day we can do this a lot of entrepreneurs or people can relate in their life and anyway I called my dad that night and I said I I think I need to pack it in I need to go get a job and just I'm this success thing is not it's not for people like us and my dad goes Eddie you don't have to decide you're never gonna quit he goes just don't quit for one more day see how you feel tomorrow I go Dad he goes just just don't do it for one more day and I got the next day and I still wanted to quit but not quite as much and then I went one more day and one more day and I found myself about 30 days later I didn't want to quit anymore and thank God the one more I did was I went one more day without quitting and I'm so grateful I didn't quit on my dream oh Ed wow that is like oh my gosh man like you just everything you're just dropping right now I'm just like I hope everyone is taking notes if you haven't been taking notes of when you take a screenshot right now of where we're at right now because that's what you're gonna have to listen to again so take a screenshot share it tell everyone to go to this segment listen to that over again because I think what I'm hearing you know is that this is this is a lifestyle like this is a mindset it's a lifestyle it's a everyday every moment way to live this isn't just in the big business you're building this is me telling my wife I love her one more time this is me making sure I mess message my mom one more time it's me making sure that when I'm sitting here with you I'm always gonna have to ask you one more question you keep giving so much no but you keep giving well that's what you just said it would never end I think of people feel like they tried a lot and then they start building up resentment and like pain and bitterness towards that path and a lot of people also that I know they just think that there are some people who are meant to be I agree with this and then there are some people that are not meant to be that's correct and they carry that with them and it comes from this like oh yeah you were meant to be this so that person was meant to have it but for me this is where and I heard that kind of come up and what you were saying to your dad like it doesn't happen to people like us how does this rule how does this principle apply to someone who's in there another best question ever because I grew up with no we have alcoholic dad or a drug addict or maybe you come from divorce or maybe your parents just didn't love you enough whatever it was didn't tell you they loved you enough it's hard to have self-confidence I was a little guy I got bullied in school and I just and even at this age now bro I I if I'm being completely honest self-confidence we all teach that it's you know part of keeping the promises you make to yourself what if you raise the standard a little higher you keep the promises you make to yourself plus one more because for me self-confidence didn't come easy I think in life ultimately you're going to get what you believe you deserve and if you're wound up wired like me I didn't think I deserved a lot I didn't even have a dad who could stop drinking right I wasn't six foot four I don't have an incredibly high IQ there's nothing really that impressive about me nor were people very impressed with me most of my life so that was my pattern that was my history that was my memory and so the only I could wait around until I developed tremendous self-confidence or I could begin to do things every day that we're small they're not major and over time when I did those one more calls that one more meeting that one more book I read that one more podcast not only am I doing more reps so the likelihood of me being successful is bigger but I started to convince myself I'm doing things other people aren't willing to do maybe I deserve things other people aren't going to get and slowly but surely I started to convince myself I did deserve it based on what I was doing not necessarily the caliber of my talent yeah yeah that was the difference yeah you you just there's a thought I've been having recently and it's that Comfort creates self-care but discomfort creates self-respect right like it's what you're saying that the one more discomfort every day that's where self-respect comes from yes you don't great term yeah you don't you don't start to trust yourself or build self-esteem or believe in yourself because you just say it to yourself it's coming what you just said you gotta then take one more meeting and see what you learn you go out there and take one more risk one more discomfort and I guarantee you if you have a successful or happy friend whichever how you determine that and you ask them this they tell you that we're right yeah they would tell you gosh that's right it's right and the difference between winning and losing happiness and sadness is so small it's almost it's almost scary to talk about but the good news is I think I kind of know what it is and it's this one more absolutely the people that I know that are the most successful and happy have more uncomfortable conversation agreed they have more uncomfortable days they're more discomfort in their lives yes but selected discomfort but one of the other things that I'm asking from now I'm like going into like the people that I know that that I'm thinking about and can see their faces and and I want them to know that I'm asking for them a lot of the time one more in the wrong direction that's right can also be really misguiding sometimes uh people and I know you're a person of Faith too and so so we can touch on this sometimes we're climbing the mountain and we keep doing one more but we're actually going further away from who we are who we want to be our faith our partners right we've we know people who've built multi-billion dollar companies but lost their kids that's right or they've become famous and Rich but they've uh their partner cheated on them you know like we know a lot of those stuff and you know people who didn't do all of that and that's happened too like it's it's both ways how does one use one more and make sure it's in the right direction that's a great question I'm doing this now regularly because I've made some of those mistakes of just and what I do is I check in with myself one more time meaning it's important to ask yourself what matters to me now see if you we had this conversation 20 years ago the things that mattered to me then are so different than What mattered to me now but a lot of us keep operating out of what used maybe you've achieved or pursuing a dream and it's really truly no longer your dream it's no longer your dream it's when I was young listen if we're gonna do a podcast you say hey I need you on the show people are going to love you you're gonna get recognition you're gonna get you're going to get all this acknowledgment and that would have been my my hot button my need you know I believe in the six human needs my need was significance and recognition and there's nothing wrong with that it's wonderful and so that's the button to get me to move would be significance recognition well I've been blessed the last 30 years or so of my life to have a beautiful abundance of significance and recognition it's no longer what fills me now you get me to do an interview you go hey I really think we could help some people my big button in my life now is contribution there was another stage in my life it's still there but hey if you go there you'll grow I still want to grow but I know me now right now I'm in a season of my life that's contribution it's giving it's what fills my heart and I think it's checking in with yourself one more time what matters to me now what do I want now what's important to me now what season maybe you're in a season where you need to rest maybe your spirit and everything about you is telling you hey it's time to feed you again it's time to recharge if that that's the season then answer that call don't play out of a past Playbook and so for me that's the season I'm in now and I'm sure that in five or eight more years you know there'll be something else but I regularly on a monthly basis you recommend it in your book so beautifully about your relationship checking in you have these strategies you teach about weekly and monthly and quarterly and yearly with your partner of checking in with them I also recommend you check in with yourself what matters to you now and so for me it's a matter of checking in now so that I don't lose my family in the pursuit of my business or lose me yeah lose me who am I anymore and I've had times where I'm like this doesn't feel like me anymore yeah and I had at least the ability to at least acknowledge that and make a change yeah and I love that you brought up Seasons because I feel like no one and on planet Earth we don't have the power to change the season but you have the power to live the season well that's right you can either be in the right now it's been raining right wherever we are it's been like pouring down with rain there's all this effort you could carry an umbrella well you can tell how I'm dressed I'm definitely not dressed in my usual gear right because I'm dressed for the rain I'm prepared yes because that's all I can do I can't make the rain switch off I can't stop it right like I can't do that and so I love hearing that you're just learning how to thrive in the season and so if your season's telling you to rest you can't force the season and you you have to live it through you have to experience it you know I think you have to remember one thing man I think it's as easy as a person to forget this and I just would love to say this because you have such an amazing reach each of you you and I included we were born to do something great with our life we were born to do something great with our life and it's important to check in from time to time of what that current great thing is and May and sometimes we think it's the big things it's the people that are on both our shows they've made this big movie they've got this big song They're this big thing you know who's greater the man who helped my dad get sober or the fact that maybe I've helped some people because my dad got sober that one act was greatness in his life that kind moment with another person that says I can help you let me connect with you and so don't discount your own greatness your own call to do something great and it doesn't have to be a script or a play or a book or a speech or on social media it's just doing something great and you matter I don't I don't mean this hokey I'm telling you the truth about you you matter you were born to do something awesome with your life your family's supposed to do something great as a family and if maybe it's just checking in and reminding yourself of that and then asking yourself what is that thing right now in my life and so I just think that reminder is so important that you know it's great to voyeuristically look in on successful people or what we think are successful people it's also important that the camera turn back on you and go you matter you matter and that's probably the most important thing we'd say today oh gosh man yeah and you know one thing you just clarified beautifully is that great doesn't have to be big no and big doesn't mean gray right and I think we're so obsessed today we are in that to do something great it has to be big it has to be bold you know when I think about myself honestly I didn't and I can say this to you because I think I think in these sessions and when we spend time together you've heard my heart I was one of those people who actually never believed I could do any of this stuff I've done I never set out when I started and I was like oh one day I'm gonna be I I didn't have any of that that's not how I'm wired I was wired in like I want to serve I want to serve whoever comes whether it's five people ten people I'm happy I'll serve them and as I started to do that I got more confidence okay now I want to serve larger groups okay let me serve them and then it was like and I never believed at any point that there were these arbitrary abstract goals of like number one this like those one how I set out and so when I'm listening to you speak I hope someone's out there thinking Jay I'm like Janette I'm like you guys where it's like I don't Vibe with all that like like motivation this like I Just Vibe with the fact that I want to have a great impact like the person that helped your father yeah and you know what we've both found in our life too just to give you Insight from um someone called me seasoned today you know this is that um you know the universe or God really prepares you to step into the next room when you step in with some faith and so maybe it does start with five or six people and maybe that's enough but perhaps in that space you're in there'll be a little door open and if you step into that one you'll you'll find I think we think I have to have it all figured out wozniak's a good buddy of mine who started Apple they didn't they were a board company they didn't really be doing this someday they stepped into the next space and one thing I think we also want is an immediate result and I talk about this in the book maybe it would be the last little thing I'll share with you but I went to a birthday party as I was writing the book and it was for a young boy and um they had a pinata we've all been to a special in California you have the pinata and so what they did is they took eight of these little guys they blindfolded them and spun them around and they're all dizzy and they're swinging and they're not even near the pinata that's life a lot of times you feel like man I'm blind I don't even know where I'm swinging right now but I'm swinging and so each kid hit the pinata and the candy didn't come out and so they take the blindfold off that kid got tired the next little boy came up spun him around so like seven of them hit this pinata no candy came out the last boy the smallest boy the youngest boy there they fill the blindfold on him they spin them around he's swinging too that's life you just sort of swinging right he finally Point him at the pinata he hits the pinata just once bam all the candy comes out and all the kids jump on and celebrate and I'm watching that and I'm going now who broke the pinata was it the last shot or was it the cumulative blows of each of the shots on the pinata well we all know the answer it was the cumulative shots Life's a lot like that man that we're taking shots but we don't see any physical progress but everyone more we're doing is compound pounding progress and in life you have to be willing to buy into what is invisible progress most people quit on their dream quit on their Vision before the candy comes out and what you and I didn't do is quit we just kept swinging and eventually the candy comes out the candy could be your bliss your joy your financial success your notoriety your contribution but most people are hitting the pinata of their life and there's no evidence it's working but the truth is there's a compound pounding effect in life that if you keep hitting your life's pinata if you'll stick around there'll be some candy come out uh the power of one more everyone Ed my let go and grab this book if you haven't already it's gonna
