if the lion is the king of the jungle how can he be the king of the jungle if he's not the biggest he can't be the fastest because that's a cheater he can't be the smartest so he's not the biggest the fastest or the smartest so how does the lion become the king of the jungle his mentality that's the only difference of a lion and an elephant when a lion walks up and sees an elephant he thinks lunch

the ultimate competitor it's relentless it will continue to attack me at least expected we must learn to adapt and overcome to any and all obstacles that are in front of us we have to be wrong if you want a thing bad enough to go out and fight for it to work day and night for it to give up your time your peace and your sleep for it if all that you dream and scheme is about it and life seems useless and worthless without it and if you gladly sweat forward and fretboard and plan for it and lose all your terror of the opposition for it and if you simply go after that thing that you want with all of your capacity strength and sagacity faith hope and confidence and stirring pertinacity if neither cold poverty vanish or golf sickness or pain or body and brain can keep you away from the thing that you want if darker and grim you besiege and beset it with the help of god you'll get it [Music] i want you to know something that the bigger your dream is i want you to understand the harder the grind there listen to me luck is for leprechauns and you ain't green i'm not bringing you i'm not bringing you a fairy tale what i am telling you is that if you're willing to go beast mode

when the pressure hits when the opposition hits when the challenge hits when the pain creeps in when the uncertainty creeps in when it cuts when the scars when the bruises come i want what all other men want he said when the opposition and adversity shows up i just wanted a little bit more than they wanted and so that's how i conquer and that's how nobody has ever beaten me yet i just want one thing from you as great as you are as skilled as you are as talented as you are i just want one thing from you never allow life to make you forget why you do what you do [Music] lazy people do a little work and think they should be winning but winners work as hard as possible and still worry if they're being lazy you might not be a lion yet some of you in this room you might be a ad you might have small beginnings you might not have a lot of money you might not have a lot of resources but he's determined he's strong he has a dream and a goal and he'll do whatever it takes and i need you to understand that the bigger your dream is the earlier you're gonna have to get up the longer you're gonna have to stay up the bigger your dream is the more effort you're gonna have to put in you'll never see it for those of you who are seventy percent seventy percent peace mode 30 gazelle that's just enough for that other person i'll do you when the obstacle gets in front of you don't let stop it don't let it deter you not get around me versus me it means that i'm going to try to be the best that i can be the strongest the fastest the smartest human being that i can become that is what i'm going to go for and it doesn't matter that i will not be better than others when i compare myself to them no i will look at others who do achieve greatness in a category and i will say look at what is possible how close can i get to that greatness how close can i get to that glory but my glory doesn't happen in front of a crowd it doesn't happen in a stadium or on a stage there are no medals handed out it happens in the darkness of the early morning in solitude only thing noble about victimhood is overcoming it you can understand that the only thing noble about your life is going to be what you show people is actually possible okay we're all put here for a reason and it's not to go over here and beat on this drum about what should be and what's not fair the world will never be fair the world will never ever be defeated someone will always have an easier path than you someone will always have a more difficult path than you regardless of how difficult you think your path is there's lots of people out there who have had that same path and actually won huge with that if we respect it the way we say we respect him if we love it the way we say we love it if we cherish it the way we say we cherish it every single day should be nothing less than excellence you might not always be your best but you can always bring me your best then claim one victory that no one can ever take away from me ever the victory that is earned every single day because i will not stop you ready you're hopelessly average you are not special you're just like everyone else and yay because that means all you have to believe about yourself is that you can change that it is in your fundamental nature to grow and get better that we all inside of us have this deep desire to get better so i have a dream okay fantastic i have one question what skills does your dream require you to obtain if you want to be great if you want to play on a world stage you're going to pay an extraordinary price to become the person that you want to become after you lose or when you get knocked out stay down there for a minute understand why you lost what were the reasons why are you down here why did you lose so every time i lost i stayed down for a second minutes hours days but when i stood up i was different now you start putting the pieces that are necessary to win over and over and over again [Music] we all have dreams i had it when i was younger so i figured the best place to make those dreams come true are in isolation so i walked into isolation as dave the guidance but i walked out of isolation when you become a savage is in isolation you go in isolation and that's when your mind changes that's where your focus changes your dedication changes this is a great strength gain focus isolation is the key to strengthening your mind come on savage what do you do when a thousand other people want exactly what you want what if you're not the only one that wants what you want what if there are thousands of other people who want what you want you have to outwork them you gotta all find them you gotta get up earlier you gotta stay up later everybody's got a dream everybody's got a goal what's the plan and when you're trying to do something that you're truly passionate about there is no plan b think about that for a second michael jordan won six nba championships with the chicago bulls because he was committed to plan a not plan b plan b sucks sometimes we get stuck in these situations where we start looking to other people for our self-esteem and sometimes we find ourselves looking in broken mirrors to get a reflection of ourselves you are where you are because of the choices you've made and the skills that you've built period end of story now why is that the best news ever because it means you're in control you steered yourself to exactly this point but now that you take that control back and you recognize that you can go anywhere you want become anyone you want to become that you're going to have to put in the work now you can decide whether you want to put in that work or not until i get through it i'm gonna be a better servant because of it there's this quote that says you go through the storm and you're not supposed to be the same person on the other side of the storm because that's the purpose of the storm like when i go through it i'm like man i'm gonna be a better servant better leader better team member as a result of it i'm not gonna resist the opposition i'm not gonna resist the adversity i'm not gonna resist the challenge my favorite quote is the quote by dr king that says you judge the character and caliber of a person not by where they stand in times of comfort and convenience you judge the character caliber of a person by what they stand in times of challenge and opposition everybody can smile when the sun out everybody can be happy when they're making money when that alarm clock goes off at four or five in the morning your mind says no you just say this is what we do it's what we do now because to get to where you want to go the amount of pain involved the amount of mental pain of how many times you're gonna have to do something that you don't want to do to get to where you want to go that's your new norm i stopped saying i've gotta wait for good things to happen to me and i said i'm gonna ride i'm going to fight i'm going to work i'm going to press toward i'm going to learn i'm going to do everything in my power every single day i'm going to do everything in my power to become a victor not a victim now let me say this before i move forward and i can't explain it but you better feel me winners win and losers lose i can't explain it any better than that i don't know how it happens but winners win and if you create a culture of losing if you keep being a victim if you keep letting losing happen to you if you keep letting people do you and treat you any kind of way it's gonna become a culture the way to win this game called life is not money it's not fame it's not other people's adoration it is quite simply what you think about yourself when you're by yourself it's fulfillment fulfillment is working really hard to gain a set of skills that are of value to you that allow you to serve not only yourself but others if you do that if you work really hard to become something to have a power building things whatever the power is that you want and then you put it to use in service of yourself and others you put it to use in service of something bigger than you then you'll have fulfillment then you'll have something that the ancient greeks call techne it's something that no one can take away from you it's something born of a cold shower of working out in the gym of not eating the thing that you want of getting out of bed immediately when it's time getting up studying and practicing long after it stopped being fun that's fulfillment nobody is going to give you anything that you have not earned nobody cares how tough your upbringing was nobody cares if you suffered some discrimination you have to remember that whatever you've gone through it pales in comparison to the hardships previous generations endured and they overcame them and if they overcame them you can overcome them too [Music] dreams without goals are just dreams and they ultimately fuel disappointment so have dreams but have goals life goals yearly goals monthly goals daily goals in order to achieve your goals you must apply discipline and consistency you have to work at it every day you have to plan every day hard work works [Music] weakness do i have weakness i am nothing but weakness i'm not naturally strong or fast or flexible i'm certainly not the smartest person in the world now all that being said i have a saying a person's strength is often their biggest weakness but their weaknesses can become strengths me i am weak in all those ways i am weak and everything goes against you until it seems that you cannot hold on for a minute longer never give up then but that is just the place and time that the tide will turn never give up then and that is so important when you're working on doing the things you want to do and fulfilling your dream and things happen there are times when your energy feels so depleted that you want to give up that it looks just totally impossible and i can tell you from my own personal experience don't give up then [Music] that's when you've got to fall forward when life is kicking dirt in your face don't give up then that's when most people turn back and ladies and gentlemen that is what gives your life meaning that you're gonna start working on that dream you're gonna work and nurture that idea [Music] you need an antidote to suffering and it has to be deep and no deep moves you tectonically and it's not a trivial thing and but that's better than happiness and maybe if you're lucky while you're pursuing that and while you're immersed in it you get to be happy and you should fall on your knees and be grateful for that when it happens you know it's a gift it really is a gift and it comes upon you unexpectedly your happiness but you aim to climb up hill to the highest peak you can possibly envision and that's that's better than happiness the time is now for it to be okay to be great people in this world shun people for being great for being a bright color for standing out but the time is now to be okay to be the greatest you [Music] the most important conversation is the one you have with yourself you wake up with it you walk around with it you go to bed with it eventually you act on it [Music] when your mind knows it's not going to quit and this is what i found out this is my 40 rule when your mind knows it's not going to quit your body will adapt to whatever is in front of it i don't accept that i am what i am and that that is what i am doomed to be no i do not accept that i'm fighting i'm struggling and i'm scraping and kicking and clawing at those weaknesses to change them that we as human beings are capable of anything and we don't need any special kind of parents or tools to get there so engine with this don't stop when you're tired stop when you're done you must have faith you've got to believe in yourself you've got to believe in your abilities you've got to believe in your service your company your ideas unquestionably you've got to have faith and that faith gives you patience that it's not going to happen as quickly as you want it to happen a lot of things are going to happen that will catch you off god and so therefore you've got to deal with and handle it as it comes and not only that but that faith and patience drives you into action it's about the daily labor the many individual acts the choices large and small that add up over time over a lifetime to a lasting legacy that's what you want on your tombstone it's about not being satisfied with the latest achievement the latest gold star because the one thing i know about a body of work is that it's never finished it's cumulative it deepens and expands with each day that you give your best each day that you give back and contribute to the life of your community you may have setbacks and you may have failures but you're not done you're not even getting started not by a long shot to find the greatness that lies within each of us so don't ever shy away from that endeavor don't stop adding to your body of work i can promise that you will be the better for that continued effort [Music] why do you do this thing every single day and what does it mean to you i want you to ask yourself those two questions every single day when you get tired when you're not feeling it when you don't value it when you take it for granted every single day why do i do this and what does it mean to you because if you say you do it for a certain reason and it means something to you every single day you'll come out and you'll never cheat it and you'll cherish every single aspect of it for the ability to become great the shortcut is a lie the hack doesn't get you there and if you want to take the easy road it won't take you to where you want to be stronger smarter faster healthier better to reach goals and overcome obstacles and be the best version of you possible will not happen by itself it will not happen cutting corners taking shortcuts or looking for the easy way there is no easy way there is only hard work late nights early mornings practice rehearsal repetition study sweat blood toil frustration and discipline it's one thing to be hungry it's another thing when you're starving for greatness and starving for success i know what it's like to operate every single day regardless of the success that i've been a lucky son of a [ __ ] to achieve i operate every day as if i'm starving i can't get a break in life i hate that damn mentality but i can't get a break you aren't giving any breaks in life you make them for yourself we are all being tested in life while my test is different than yours you will be tested and how you face that test and how you overcome that test determines the rest of your life the one mentality that you must have in life is that regardless of what's in front of you you still must grind i'll never be in the olympics i'll never be a professional athlete but still i grind i feel that most things i do but still i grind i don't want to do halftime i do but still i grind those people they'll put out goals dreams and aspirations and what they want to accomplish but you very rarely hear people say what they're willing to sacrifice in order to make it happen they'll tell you to go with a dream to aspiration they'll tell you they want to be elite they'll tell you they want to be great but they're not going to say i'm going to stop going out on friday night they're not going to say i'm a sacrifice and i'm going to stay late they'll tell you the goals the dreams and the aspirations but cats will very rarely touch on what they gotta sacrifice in order to make it happen because wherever their sacrifice is interconnected to accountability and what i'm suggesting to you is pain can be transformed into power with the intention to transform pain into power you see what most people do is this is why most good people lose they stumble and they fall and they become heartbroken or disappointed by life's challenges that happens to every single one of us [Music] i am where i am currently because i didn't do x y and z and guess what that it hurts a little bit that bothers us a little bit it's a hard truth to accept but once you accept that truth you are able to then move forward with the actions required to get you to where you want to go your life is the exact reflection of the choices you have made love your life great you've made awesome choices hate your life i'm sorry you've made bad choices but the good news is you're in control i'm talking to you guys right now who still have hope who still have the fire who still have the want and the will and the desire to [ __ ] be more and become more and contribute more and win more because you know your life will be better and everybody else's life around you will be better i'm talking to you [ __ ] you can do this [Music] in other words when the outcome changes and it's not what we want it to be and it doesn't turn out the way we want it to turn out do we still value the thing that we once said we value is our character still intact right because we all know it character is not something we inherit character something we got to wake up every single day we gotta fight and we gotta build it in the midst of our position in the midst of challenges in the midst of uncertainty we gotta wake up and we gotta build i should tell guys all the time i don't care how tall your father is you gotta do your own growing in other words every single day we got to build our own character when they look in the mirror they're just trying to see what's on the surface but winning and losing wants to know what's inside of you it wants to know what makes you tick it wants to know what your desires are once you know what your ego is it wants to know what your limitations are it wants to know what your mindset is it wants to know everything about you because winning does not lie when you look in the mirror you can lie and see what's on the surface cannot buy what's going on inside discipline defeats the infinite excuses that say not today not now i need a rest i'll do it tomorrow what's the hack how do you become stronger smarter faster healthier how do you become better how do you achieve true freedom there is only one way the way of discipline you either are [ __ ] aren't you either will or you can won't you're either going to become or you're not going to become [Applause] everything in our life is controlled by three decisions [Music] i think one of the most powerful things we deserve is have you become clear of what the controlling force is that's controlling the quality of your life and you and i both know it's not the amount of money in your pocket it's not who you know it's not even what you've been through it's really the decisions you make moment to moment the first one is what are you going to focus on what makes it hard is your lack of belief that it can happen for you the fact of it is though it's very doable see if but you got to change though if you keep doing what you've been doing you're gonna keep getting what you've been getting so if you're in a place in your life and you ain't happy with it you have to change some things but you have to make a conscientious decision that you're going to change and it's not dependent on anybody else if you want to get better you have to find out what you're avoiding and what you're afraid of and maybe what you're disgusted by even and you have to expose yourself to that voluntarily and you have to let that change you it's the easiest thing in the world to do all right i'm done but what's hard is going yo yesterday i got nothing from working as hard as i could i'm gonna do the same thing again today but i'm gonna try to go harder here's the reality and you're you're gonna feel the truth of this instantly most dreams never come true most of the people that you know most of the dreams that you've had for yourself they haven't come true why not because they're brutally difficult the fall it is goes back as a matter of fact to extremely fundamental things that there is always a curious tie at some point between the fall [Music] and the creation taking this ghastly risk is the condition of there being life you see for all the life is an act of faith and an act of gamble returning is the motion of the dao returning is the motion of the doubt so that all of us came from a divine spiritual essence invisible everything in the world of form emanated from something that is formless there was a split second when you went from non-being to being to be able to return to that place from which you came and live your life from the spiritual perspective and become a god-realized being another great poet t.s eliot once said we shall not cease from exploration and at the end of all of our exploring will be to arrive where we started and to know the place for the first time from the moment you come awake till the moment you fall asleep how many moments and how many actions and how many thoughts and how many emotions or how much percentage of it do you conduct consciously this will determine the state of your revolution right now your ambitions blind you to the nature of reality they illuminate some reality but one of the things that you might ask yourself once you know that is that if you're suffering dreadfully then one possibility is that you're so fixed on a point the fact that you're so fixed on the point that you're fixed on might be integrally related to why things are going so catastrophically wrong do what you did in the beginning and there won't be an end because when you think it's the beginning you behave differently than the end the meaning we associate to things controls our entire lives we take control of meaning it's the only thing we can control our lives we can't control events but the only way that that dream is going to come true even over that long period of time is if you're going all out every day fear fuels you fear lets you know go get more information fear let you know step a little later and study fear let you know get up a little earlier fear let you know ask for help fear is informing you it's not stopping you it's just another emotion like love and compassion and gratitude we just made it paralyze us [Music] not everything you want everything you already have because what you have is substantial the fact that you can walk that's a blessing the fact that you woke up that's another blessing the fact that you can see think reason that's another blessing ability to dream is a blessing the the fact that you have an opportunity to get it right is another blessing the moment you take a step you do so on an act of faith because you don't really know that the flaw is not going to give under your feet the moment you take a journey what an act of faith the moment you enter into any kind of human undertaking in relationship what an act of faith but this is the most powerful thing that could be done surrender but what does matter is your entire life is being lived by your brain [Music] you're more likely to believe something negative than you are something positive now think about how that can echo through your life each of us has to realize that all of the beliefs that we have in our life are choices when you change the way you look at things [Music] the things you look at change expecting somebody else to change or something outside of you to get better in order for you to make your life work it's in here see fear doesn't stop me fear informs me and when you get intimately connected with the fear i feel it and i'm moving forward anyway i feel it and i'm gonna love anyway i feel it and i'm gonna invest in me anyway i feel it and i'm gonna show up and play anyway when you get connected with fear it becomes your best friend and when you stand on the edge you feel the breeze [Music] [Music] if you've been sitting around waiting for somebody to discover you to pick you to save you to rescue to give you your is something happening like at some point you got to wake up and realize you have to parent yourself your life is your responsibility close your eyes retreat from your life disconnect from your body disconnect from your environment disconnect from your schedule and just give yourself an hour or 45 minutes or 20 minutes because when you invest in yourself you invest in your future and when you believe in yourself you believe in possibilities and when you believe in possibilities you believe in yourself and if you don't believe in possibilities then you don't believe in yourself and you don't believe in yourself you don't believe in possibilities so then but if you have a community a living organism where it's becoming the new normal you want to join that living organism you want to every every stride you make feeds the living organism every stride every effort you make to connect is is amazing because that which we are seeking is seeking us [Music] so the real question is what is it that you can fall in love with enough that makes all the fighting through the negative voice and all of that worth it so that's number one it's just to recognize that you've got a long timeline ahead of him so when you stop outsourcing your happiness your validation your support all of it and you bring it back in and you get responsible for it it sounds scary it's so liberating because you could do anything when you're responsible when you're the driver of your life when you're not looking out to anybody else to fix it for you can you ask for help of course but the buck stops with you you're the one that has to do the work you're the one who has to push your own ass you're the one who has to figure out what makes you happy you're the one who has to figure out and become self-aware about what you need and then you're the one that has to find whatever it is the courage of being humble enough to ask for help that's the eternal problem of life and the problem is there is the category of problems in life and it ain't going anywhere and so the question is can you deal with the whole category at the same time that's the thing that's how to be in the world it's to deal with that category all at the same time sacrifice what does that mean sacrifice well it's a discovery man it's the discovery of the future [Music] it's like the future is actually the place where there is threat it's always going to be there so what do you do you make sacrifices in the present so that the future is better right [Music] for stall gratification now and it'll pay off at a place in time that doesn't even exist yet it's like who would have believed that it's like that's a miracle that that occurs and it's not like people just figure that overnight most people aren't obsessed with their goals because they don't believe they're worthy of them it's easy to dream about what you want but in between where you are and what you want there's a tremendous amount of stuff you got to change and do and if you have a lot of trauma in your background you have been given the message over and over and over even though it's not true that you don't deserve it that there's something wrong with you and if you don't at some point be defiant against what the world or your caregivers or your past experience has pounded into your brain incorrectly unfairly you will forever be stuck with that story pain plus reflection equals progress and i think that that's incredibly incredibly true and the human animal just needs that bit of pain it is the compass that's going to allow you if you reflect on why you're feeling that pain what you did wrong how you failed you don't deflect you don't make it somebody else's problem you really just look at how did i put this up if you look at that and are willing to make the changes you really will make progress i don't see a way to really have grand scale change without the suffering that's the truth [Music] [Music] the idea is that nothing brings a better world into being than the stated truth now you might have to pay a price for that but that's fine you're going to pay a price for every bloody thing you do and everything you don't do you don't get to choose to not pay a price you get to choose which poison you're going to take that's it so if you're going to stand up for something stand up for your truth it'll it'll shape you because people will respond and object to tell you why you're a fool and a biased [ __ ] and why you're ignorant and then if you listen to them you'll be just that much less like that the next time you say something if you do that for five years you'll be so damn tough and articulate and able to communicate and withstand pressure that you won't even recognize yourself and then you'll be a force to contend with you are not responsible for what happened to you you survived what happened to you but you do have a responsibility to heal yourself and to do the work to change so that you can be the happy fulfilled person that you were born to be can have a mindset that says through my efforts my attitude i can have an impact on the situation that's the power that i have that's where it begins begins with you self-confidence self-love self-esteem self-reliance self-awareness it all has the same self you have to give yourself those things you want validation give it to yourself you want to be cheered for give it to yourself if you want to feel supported in life start by giving those things to yourself because the most important relationship that you have is the one you have with yourself and you work on it the least you can have nothing and you can still have your own bag you can have tremendous problems and very real obstacles that you're facing and you can have a mindset that says through my efforts my attitude i can have an impact on the situation that i'm in [Music] [Music] you're ready to wake up you're going to wake up and if you're not ready you're going to stay pretending that you're just a little poor little me plans can be debilitating it's good to have a plan but it's more important that you have a purpose if you have a purpose plans will evolve things will happen plans will fall apart new things will come up whatever has to happen will happen if you hold on to a certain purpose other things will just serve that purpose [Music] you've got to let go and let it happen because if you don't you're going to be all clutched up you're going to be constantly trying to do [Music] what can happen healthily only if you don't try we face challenges and have things that come against us it's easy to start dreading it thinking this is going to be so hard how can i accomplish this dream i don't have the resources the connections yes there are seasons where we have to endure do the right thing when it's hard in the depths of despair an idea is going to come to you it's like good god who put this mess together is it really worth it is it really worth the suffering and so the question is well are there ways that you can act that make things really much better and i think that's the question is can we have our cake and eat it too can we have the being that requires limitation and suffering and also simultaneously transcend that by our mode of being you don't achieve worthwhile goals quickly or easily they take time they take struggle they take relentless pursuit day in and day out that's what it takes and i also believe that we're going to end up one day meeting a maker if you believe in one and i believe that maker knows everything about you everything about you but you also have a choice to make you have a choice to make we have choices and the one thing that scares me to death in my life is getting to heaven and not being where i'm supposed to be and i believe that god has a chart and he looks at the chart and he puts it in front of you and you get to heaven he says hey this is what you're supposed to be and one of my biggest fears in life was to see that chart and not have every block checked off dreams without goals are just dreams and they ultimately fuel disappointment goals on the road to achievement cannot be achieved without discipline and consistency is knowing what is your life worth what is it that gives your life a sense of meaning and purpose because once you find that it puts you in your power place see if you know what your life work is i encourage you to start working on it if you can't do it all at one time do just a little bit of it and if you don't know what it is that you showed up to do if you don't know why you're here i encourage you to find out what your purpose is here what is the meaning of your life everything may not be perfect there are things that need to change don't get so focused on what you want that you miss the beauty of this day i want you to live the life you were meant to live you hear me some of you are not transitioning because you're okay with the life you have and i'm telling you i i when i walk out i want to be an example of you can start from wherever and get to wherever you want to get to that's what i'm asking you to do what fuels you the reason why you're so lazy is not because you don't have the ability you're so lazy because your dreams so small because you've got this short time on earth and there's lots of things that are very very difficult to contend with and you have the problem of tolerating yourself even in all your insufficiency one of the things that seems to me to be the case is that if you adopt a sufficiently profound motive being if you attempt to do that then the mere act of lifting up that weight is enough to justify the fact that you're insufficient and mortal and and and bound by tragedy and i say to you that if you begin to take a conscious effort to find out what it is that you're supposed to do [Music] i say that it can literally save your life i said that it can literally save your life we fought everything in life but we do nothing about it very few people do anything about it what the are you doing about it you gotta take action in your life you gotta got to you got to start being find a solution to your problem don't be the problem take action for every action is the opposite reaction if all you do is nothing's going to happen in your life take action take control before you can be a painter who can paint what's beyond near memory you you have to inculcate that discipline skill and a lot of that is painful repetition and hard grinding work it's the sacrifice of the present for the future but once you manage that then things open up and virtually everything you learn of value is like that i need you to focus on why you were born in the first place why are you here on earth for this particular time what are you doing here your dna is in your dream and most of y'all chasing stuff you don't realize your dreams are so important because your dna who you are as a person is wrapped up in your dreams and what this world has done to you is take that from you because they know if you know who you're who you are and you get your dreams you're probably not gonna work for most of them do i say that your life is worth finding what it is that you're supposed to do [Music] just start working at it just a little bit but do find out what your work is and hold on to it and don't let your dream go movies are supposed to provoke emotion they're supposed to make you feel something i have a better idea go out into the world and actually feel it go feel joy and love and triumph and rapture and ecstasy and glory go feel those things [Music] [Music] so [Music] the self is everything you could be across time so imagine that there's you and there's the potential inside you whatever that is you know and potential is an interesting idea because it represents something that isn't yet real yet we act like it's real because people will say to you you should live up to your potential we really can't control anything other than our own thoughts our own behavior our own patterns we can't control what other people do say or think and it's this illusion of control often times that we can somehow manipulate other people or manipulate situations that cause us to fall into these patterns but we do have the power of in life is we have the power to choose we often fear that in order to achieve something new to become someone new we have to abandon everything that we are but in fact that's not how it works change can happen plank by plank board by board habit by habit and gradually you can become someone new with consistency and repetition you can actually change not only your results but actually your identity and the reason that this is true is because the more evidence that we have for a belief the more likely we are to believe it mindset is one of the most important feeders into your perspective and perspective is everything and the first most important decision that we all have to make and this is one of my favorite einstein quotes is each and every one of us has to decide whether we live in a friendly or a hostile universe that potential is partly what you could be if you interacted with the world in a manner that would gain you the most information and so you walk through you go to all the quarters of the world to find yourself the actions that you take provide evidence for who you are and it's not that habits matter more necessarily on an individual basis each moment in life matters but what ends up happening is that over the broad span of time things that you do once or twice fade away and things that you do time after time day after day week after week accumulate the bulk of the evidence for what you believe because to me the very meaning of life is to see how many skills you can acquire that have utility and then put those skills to use in the service of something bigger than yourself but the only way that you're going to be able to do that is to build into the core of your being the ability to endure life is hard life is going to kick you in the face there are going to be a thousand times in your life when you're going to want to give up and the only thing that is going to see you through the only thing that's going to make sure that you actually [ __ ] endure is your mindset all great thinkers have one thing in common they spent long periods of time away from diversions distractions trivial interruptions [Music] the things that we love that are not the most important are the easiest to rationalize spending time on and distracting us from the things that are really important right the things that are good but not great that's the stuff that ends up taking us off course it's not that we don't really want something it's not that we don't really you know want to improve or we don't know exactly what the most important thing is to us it's that we choose to spend our ways on number six through our time on number six through 25 too often but that's the stuff that pulls away from greatness things like and one of the things you do when you're overwhelmed by crisis is you shorten your time frame you know it's like you can't think about next month maybe you can't even bloody well think about next week or maybe not even tomorrow you know because now is just so overwhelming that that's all there is it's like and that's what you do you cut your time frame back until you can cope with it and if it's not the next week that you see how to get through then it's the next day and if it's not the next day then it's the next hour and if it's not the next hour then it's the next minute and you know people are very very very very tough [Music] it turns out that if you face things that you can put up with a lot more than you think you can put up with and you can do it without becoming corrupted whatever it is good bad or indifferent in your life your current level of happiness of joy of success of fulfillment is exactly what you think you deserve it's exactly what you think you're worth it's a hard thing to accept but in our lives we are getting out of our life right now exactly what we believe we're worthy of exactly what we think we deserve our life is a direct reflection of our identity which is the thoughts concepts beliefs values and worth we hold true to be about ourselves turns out most people spend 70 percent of their life living in survival and living in stress so they're always anticipating the worst case scenario based on a past experience and they're literally out of the incident potentials in the quantum field they're selecting the worst possible outcome and they're beginning to emotionally embrace it with fear and they're conditioning their body into a state of fear what i want you guys to understand is one very simple thing it is a decision [Music] like the first thing you want to do is dispense with the idea that you get to have any any permanent security outside of your ability to contend and adapt [Music] it's like you're paying a price by sitting there being miserable you might say well the devil i know is better than the one i don't it's like don't be so sure of that you have to be really careful whether you decide that life is difficult it's the slew of things that's coming at you that's trying to break you and nothing ever good happens to you or if you choose to believe no matter what happens to you you can always choose your response you can always choose to believe that it's happening for you and not to you and in that perspective in having that mindset then you're going to begin to look for the solutions you're going to look for the ways out you're going to look for the lesson that you can learn in the hardship that is mindset [Music] [Music] i want to find more all i can you have to dive in that to find more because if you're not willing to go in there and face yourself i can find anything you can live right here on surface man right here on surface there's nothing quite so tragic as a young cynic because it means the person has gone from knowing nothing to believing nothing [Music] in my case i was saved in that muteness and the sword of that i was saved and i was able to draw from human thought [Music] [Applause] human disappointments and triumphs enough to triumph myself probability that as you move forward on your adventure that you're going to get it right the first time is zero it's just not going to happen and so then you might think well maybe i'll just wait around until i get the right idea and which people do right so they're like 40 year old 13 year olds which is not a good idea so they wait around until they finally got it right waiting around isn't going to help because even if it the perfect opportunity manifested itself to you in your incomplete form the probability that you would recognize it as the perfect opportunity is zero i think the biggest vulnerability you've got is you actually value somebody's opinion more than you value your own [Music] to me the way you win is you realize you can't hear nobody at the end of the day my guy yourself you gotta get real real quiet up here i can't hear anything [Music] the goal isn't to be the best every day the goal isn't to out to outdo your competition every day that's a finite construction finite players play to be bet to beat the people around them infinite players play to be better than themselves [Music] fulfillment is what matters it is a neurochemistry state the game you're playing is not success it is not money it is not legacy it is neurochemistry it's feeling good about yourself right now today in this moment now the absolute foundational building block to fulfillment is progress now i don't mean progress in worldly pursuits i mean humans are an active species that are absolutely designed to learn adapt and grow now what it doesn't incentivize is the obsession over where other people are whether or not we have unique ideas whether or not we're valuable none of that is going to bring you joy okay as they say comparison is the thief of joy if you become successful don't just stand at the top of the mountain don't just stand at the top of the building go back down the stairs and keep building and keep living as that person that got you there because you only got there because you started from the bottom right no one starts at the top and so you started at the bottom and you built it up and it was that mindset that you started with that got you there and so for me one of the best ways of dealing with success is keep expanding the goal posts in your mind when you push real hard you have this door in your mind and a lot of us don't want to open that door you push open that door you're in a tunnel there's a dark ass tunnel and you can't get it there's one thing about being in dark places if you have the courage to stay there long enough your eyes will start to adjust to the darkness you are your competition and that is what ensures you stay in the game the longest and that is what ensures you find joy because the joy comes not from comparison but from advancement change is inevitable change is also the principle of life that means everything that is alive will change to everything there's a season how many things of a season everything this is one of the best news i ever got in my life let me tell you why if you having a bad time right now it cannot last there's a place in you that you must keep in violate you must keep it pristine clean so that nobody has the right to curse you uh treat you badly nobody no mother father no wife no husband knows nobody because that may be the place you go to when you meet god but we won't believe it in this entire universe most people like only three or four things [Music] when you're so constipated in your head that you lack only three or four people or three or four things in your life how do you want to open up to the existence because life is happening because of its openness [Music] breath is happening so much is happening in connection with everything it is only in openness you're alive as you close doors you are dying in installment [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] don't exist secret here the secrets don't exist exist hard work dedication be obsessed to be something something in the life and follow their dreams i think whatever you want to be dedicate yourself you know work hard you know and believe in you i think this is the main words not just a kid want to be a cristiano ronaldo but anything it can be you know work hard it's i think it's it's the main work and the dream to believe in that everything is possible in your life all this happened because the reason the reason is i'm unbelievable inside the future in my mind i'm always the best when i take that decision i will be a professional player i will be something in football this is i feel because i i was feeling from the beginning that i was different than the other ones [Music] i was more special i was a special kid you have to put in your mind ethic of work when you are professional so since day one when i start with a professional let's say with 16 17 18 i'm always have ethic to be the best to train hard to listen to all the players experienced players and of course my dreaming coming true well there's dedication and hard work this is my my words to dedicate myself 100 every time to be a position that i am today is not one year it's 10 years 12 years you know to maintain my level probably the most important it's to maintain my level in the pitch you know to play goods to score goals to do assistance to win trophies this is what i want to keep continue to do it because it's what i love to do it is to play football you have to dedicate yourself hundred percent my subconscious i'm always speak with the ball i'm always saying do it the right tragedy go to the net of course i know if you have positive thoughts this is help that things going better this is why i always do it myself i don't think about that but my subconscious they thinking this is why i think that the things happen in my life is not my coincidence it's because you know my mind it's connect with the ball with my with my life my friends family i'm always have that that positive mind the best players always follow the best players they want to be in the top of the the game because they are the ones they are there you know you cannot rest or sleep because the other one can pass you of course we fight with everyone with the neymar with the messi with lewandowski to be the best this is why it's my main point it's my motivation it's to be better than them than them year after year i think the numbers they say everything i don't need to say i'm a minister of football i'm a legend the numbers say everything so this is i'm very comfortable [Music] and he said to me cristiano the most important thing i knew it and everyone know that and he said cristiano we have money we have everything we have fame i have millions and billions but the most important thing is the family keep your family healthy good and take care of your family because this is the most important thing in the world a part of that of course you have your life your private life your cars your houses your fame but in the beginning your family it's always with you for the good moments and for the bad moments since when i was when i was young i always learned if you give the god gonna give you the devil so this is what's happened in my life since i started to do that everything in my life become better and better so i will still carry on to do that because i think it's it's important and i feel good when i do that [Music] when i left my family with 11 years old to live in a different world which is his lisbon i was crying almost every day to miss my family but i'm not i'm not regret without sacrifice we cannot win nothing so i did unbelievable sacrifice my family too i think i have i did a good option i don't care what the people thinking what they say in my mind not just this year but always i'm always the best i'm always going to say that because i think we are to thinking we are the best in our area so in my area i think i'm the best [Music] [Applause] doing what ronaldo does [Applause] [Applause] ronaldo [Applause] [Music] [Music] do [Music] how do you overcome the suffering of the of life how do you overcome the suffering of life is be a better person that's how you do it well that's hard it takes responsibility and i think you know if you said to someone you want to have a meaningful life everything you do matters that's the definition of a meaningful life but everything you do matters you're gonna have to carry that with you once you understand the whole reason to acquire a skill is that it gives you power now i'm gonna define power power to me is the ability to close your eyes and imagine a world the world the way you wish it was and then open your eyes and make that world come true that's power and the thing that stands between you where you are today and your goals where you want to get is a gap in skill set it is a gap in abilities one thing i've realized is we become victims when we recite our excuses and we recite them so many times we actually believe they are true and i think you can cling to your excuses or you can go out there and have an impact and live a fulfilling life and be highly creative and and enjoy the magic life but you don't get to do both it's like your growth is the only limit to your happiness if you're not happy you're not growing in some area and usually it's a place where you're blaming you're pointing the finger i don't care if it's government don't get me wrong people can be unfair unjust that's for sure happens but you can't control that you can't make it not happen what you have to do is become stronger than any of it so you're free freedom comes from growth freedom does not come from control because control is an illusion you can't control everybody no matter how hard you try can't control what they think or feel and not everybody's going to be fair and just and you my dear friends and i have not always been fair and just whether we admit it or not it's just the nature of being a being a human being but we can't make the largest pattern fair and just and loving and powerful and serving and growing until it becomes the dominant thing inside you and then you experience life as being great not you're great life's great because you're living a great path here's your new definition of passion passion is simply energy that's all that it is okay passion is what you feel when you are energized and excited about what you're doing okay i'm going to tell you what your purpose on earth is right now your purpose on earth is to figure out how to align your life so that you feel more energized and excited by it that's it and it begins with you following the energy and following your natural enthusiasm you're not going to think your way to passion you can't think your way to finding something that you feel in your heart doesn't work that way you got to feel your way into it it's inside of you do you understand there's no passion out there somewhere the passion is in here every decision we make in our lives as individuals or as organizations is a piece of communication it's our way of saying something about who we are and what we believe this is why authenticity matters this is why you have to say and do the things you actually believe because the things you say and do are symbols of who you are and we look for those symbols so we can find people who believe what we believe our very survival depends on so if you're putting out false symbols you will attract people to those symbols but you won't be able to form trust with them the goal of putting something out there if you say what you believe and you do what you believe you will attract people who believe what you believe [Music] or do you want to just forget about the whole meaning thing then you don't have any responsibility because who the hell cares you can wander through life doing whatever you want gratifying impulsive desires for how useful that's going to be and you're stuck in meaninglessness but you don't have any responsibility which one do you want well ask yourself which one are you pursuing and you'll find very rapidly that it isn't the majority of your soul that's pursuing the whole meaning thing because well look what you have to do to do that you have to take on the fact that life is suffering you have to put yourself together in the face of that whatever that is wherever you want to go plant that flag identify the skills that you would need to get there and then set about every day getting those skills well ask yourself which one are you pursuing and you'll find very rapidly that it isn't the majority of your soul that's pursuing the whole meaning thing because well look what you have to do to do that you have to take on the fact that life is suffering you have to put yourself together it's old it's the oldest story of mankind [Music] get yourself together transcend your suffering see if you can be some kind of hero make the suffering in the world less well that's the way forward as far as i can tell if there is any way forward [Music] [Music] [Music] people's lives aren't what they would like them to be and so then you ask why well forget about tragedy and catastrophe because that's self-evident but one of the main reasons that people don't get what they want is because they don't actually figure out what it is and the probability that you're going to get what would be good for you let's say which would even be better than what you want right because you know you might be wrong about what you want easily but maybe you could get what would really be good for you well why don't you because you don't try the thing that makes individuals really really special who are that great is they're always looking for that competitive edge so it's interesting to see how a champion in sports it's the same mindset it's about winning the battles continuing to improve learning news ways to stay ahead uh stay ahead of the game clarity is what gives you the idea of success [Music] when you can see and you can think and you can react with a clear mind he said if you worry about whether the other people think about you you will always be their prisoner so unless you're prepared to be other people's prisoners at some point if they're hurling dirt on you if they're constantly trying to re-bury you under the earth that you're trying to claw your way out from then you're never going to get out you've got to just stop worrying about what they think so they can't actually affect you they can only try to influence your mindset you don't think okay here's what i would like if i could have it i don't mean in a way that you manipulate the world to force it to deliver you goods for status or something like that that isn't what i mean i mean something like imagine that you were taking care of yourself like you were someone you actually cared for and then you thought okay i'm caring for this person i would like things to go as well for them as possible what would their life have to be like in order for that to be the case no one will believe in you until you believe in you and so good people often become seduced by the chatter of their loudest fears [Music] do not let them you've got to understand who you're trying to become believe in your ability to get there to become that person to understand that to continue to beat yourself up for something in the past is not going to serve you and so for that very reason let it go [Music] we are good in our comfort zones but the moment we start to go blue ocean around our next level of mastery our fears come up the mind is an instrument don't let it play you so it's it's a really powerful thing to remember to be just just remember that you know that that is that's the job of the mind is to hold on to things and to to kind of attach to things and it's your job to say i choose this thought and i don't choose that and i you know because whatever you give energy to is what grows you know where your energy goes is what grows and it's like we have to choose where we put our energy in because that's where we're going to manifest so it's it's the more consciously and we can make those choices and where we're letting our mind go the better is going to be for us because we're going out into the unknown it's human you know if you look to look at the psychobiology of it and you were studying the pure biology there's a term called homeostasis human beings are hardwired for a steady state what happens is when we come up with a new idea and when we see a new opportunity and we start to leave our comfort zones into the zone of the unknown where greatness lives we get scared so i think it starts with realizing your life is not random you are not here by accident when you arrive on whatever scene it is heaven touches earth your goodness your life your creativity is heaven touching earth and that perspective changes the way we show up in the world [Music] no nostalgia for catastrophe i think that's what that means is that when you leave what's not good you wash the dust off your feet and you don't look back and that's a very harsh lesson that there's no excuses whatsoever for not getting up and getting at it that's what it means it even means that when people are beset with a catastrophe like that they are prone to use that as an excuse for not going about the business that they should be going about because they can say to themselves well i would accept and accept there's always good reasons i mean believe me there's always good reasons for not doing what you should that's for sure the reasons pile up day after day to not do what you should especially because you're you're aiming at things in the future you can put them off indefinitely right because of the demands of the day when you leave somewhere terrible do not look back there's no nostalgia that's that's the letting the dead parts of yourself go [Music] to experience drastic positive change and here's the thing about running away from your problems running away from your past have you ever noticed that when you run away it tends to follow you and then if you're going to follow the good there's no excuse not to do it and that and it means no excuse whatsoever under any circumstances there's no excuse whatsoever for not getting at what it is that you should be doing you
