You gotta try breakfast at A&W.
Better way than with a delicious Pratt organic coffee,
starting with just $1 all day, every day,
now until December 31st.
You gotta try breakfast.
I participating A&W locations in Ontario.
The truth change comes from you.
The truth change comes from within us.
That's where it comes from.
Individual, taking ownership of what the,
they need to do in life. Period. That's all it comes down to.
There's people out there that don't want to see you do good.
As you know, there's people out there that don't want to see you happy,
don't want to see you accomplish anything, don't want to see you grow.
There's people out there that don't want to see you beat everything that you want.
There's people out there that are threatened by your greatness.
You know, if you take people and you expose them voluntarily
to things that they are avoiding and are afraid of, you know,
are afraid of, you know, that they know they need to overcome in order to meet their goals,
their self-defined goals. If you can teach people to stand up in the face of the things they're
afraid of, they get stronger. The things that you do and that you don't do are far more
important than you think. And so if you act that, where of course the terror of realizing that
is that it actually starts to matter what you do and you might say, well that's better than
living a meaningless existence, it's better for it to matter. But I mean if you really asked yourself,
Would you be so sure if you had the choice?
I can live with no responsibility whatsoever.
The price I pay is that nothing matters.
Or I can reverse it and everything matters.
But I have to take the responsibility that's associated with that.
It's not so obvious to me that people would take the meaningful path.
All my belief systems have collapsed.
It's like, yeah, maybe.
Maybe you've just allowed them to collapse because it's a hell of a lot easier than acting them out.
The power to do that.
You can decide that you're going to change.
You can decide that you're going to stand up to life.
You can decide that I'm going to live each day as if it were my last.
You're not trying to get to perfection right now.
You're just trying to get a little bit better than you were yesterday or an hour ago.
You got to start protecting your life.
Everybody don't deserve you.
Everybody don't deserve access to your life.
Because you're not everything you could be and you know it.
Perhaps there's another way that you could look at the world and so what it would reflect back to you would be much better than what it reflects back to you now.
Breakdowns happen right before breakthroughs.
So I pray you break that cycle that's trying to break you.
I pray you kill those thoughts that are trying to kill you.
No mistake is too great.
As long as you, forgive you.
You always have a choice.
Never stay silent about your battles.
Give you a pain of voice.
It's okay to not be okay.
We're all one struggle away.
Your change is going to come.
You just keep believing day by day.
This storm will eventually run out of rain.
And there are things as you have your goals.
Things are going to happen to you that you can't anticipate.
Some of you and the, I have the storm now.
Things are going to happen.
And don't say, why does that have to happen to me?
Why not you?
That's what we do.
We go, like, what's the meaning of life as someone supposed to tell us?
And he's saying, no, actually,
actually life is asking you that question, existence asks you that question, and you answer it with your choices and decisions and the life.
So your life is the answer.
Because if you think that action is the end-all-be-all, you end up doing action for the sake of doing action.
Right?
So I feel like I should always be doing and doing and doing, but sometimes you're just supposed to be.
And oftentimes just sort of being there and sitting there and being still is where really great insights come from.
And this is also where happiness comes from.
You know, it's hard to be happy and appreciate and feel gratitude
when you're just moving all the time.
You've got to remember it's human being, not human doing.
And most people are not in the moment.
And it's really challenging.
You know, monitoring your thoughts is noticing where your mind is going,
noticing what you're thinking,
and is what you're thinking taking away from the moment.
Is what you're thinking something that's driven by the past,
is what you're thinking about something that somewhere else you want to be.
People go, okay, here's really what I want to do,
and this is what I'm trying to accomplish.
And then they see all these other things that other people are doing,
and then they kind of see that as like a grab bag,
and I want a little of this and a little of this,
and I want it all at the same time.
And that's not really possible.
I'm on a path that's taking me further away from what I want,
what I want my ideal day to look like.
That's not success.
What is like an ideal day of your life look like?
Maybe not right now, but what do you want a day
in your life to look like?
Well, what does that actually cost?
Could you have that now?
Do you have to have a life that you don't like
so that at the end of it potentially you're lucky enough
to go there?
Or could you find a way to get that now?
I'm trying to think about this on a regular basis.
Is my life resembling what those days are supposed to look like?
And if I have too many days in a row that don't resemble what
I want my day.
Like I go, I'm having the opposite of success.
I always say, like, if fear was a door, and behind this door was all this negativity
things that I'm saying, like, I'm going to lose, I'm going to suck.
I'm never going to walk through that door.
So in order for me to walk through the door, even though the door is super scary, I have
to make empowering things on this side of the door, right?
I'm going to learn.
I'm going to grow.
Even if I don't win, it's going to be something valuable in it.
So let me walk through this door, right?
even though it might not be perfect,
I'm still going to find growth in solitism.
There's times in your life and things gonna happen
that you've got to begin to put your dream on hold.
If for 10 years, if you didn't avoid doing
what you knew you needed to do, by your own definitions,
right, within the value structure that you've created
to the degree that you've done that, what would you be like?
Well, you know, there are remarkable people
who come into the world from time to time,
and there are people who do find out over
over decades long periods of what they could be like if they were who they were.
If they spoke their being forward.
And they get stronger and stronger and stronger.
And we don't know the limits to that.
We do not know the limits to that.
Being all in, I'm bringing all of me to it.
I'm bringing all of myself to the situation.
Forgiveness is the fragrance.
Let the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.
That's divine love.
Because when you advance confidently in the direction of your own dreams,
an endeavor to live the life which you have imagined,
you will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
He'd only ask myself one simple question,
what's my goal moving forward?
The only thing that matters is moving forward.
And so, as cheesy as it is,
the only thing that any of us have is right now, this minute.
And what could you do in this minute that we'd be?
be the most fulfilling. To me, this is the road to true freedom. I have nothing to prove. I have
nothing to protect. That your perception of me after I tell my truth. Doing the things that you know
are wrong that you could stop doing. There are things that you're doing that you know you shouldn't do.
Now, some of those you won't stop doing for whatever reason. You don't have the discipline or maybe
there's a secondary payoff or you don't believe it's necessary or it's too much of a sacrifice or
You're angry or resentful or afraid.
Who knows?
So forget about those for now.
But there's another subset that you could stop doing.
It might be a little thing.
Well, that's fine.
Stop doing it.
See what happens.
So once you realize that humans are adaptation machines,
that we can learn anything,
now it's like, okay, whatever you want to do,
you can do it.
As long as you're willing to pay that price,
I'm not saying that it's not going to be hard.
It's going to be very, very hard.
I'm just saying that it is doable and that you will receive a return on investment in your energies.
And that's what people need to know and believe to the core of their need,
that my time in this direction will be rewarded.
To believe that you need what you don't have is the definition of it said.
To believe that you need what you don't have.
Because you're already here, so you've already proven that you don't need it.
So to go around believing that I can't be,
happy, fulfilled, unless I get this stuff that I don't already have.
It's a complete and total illusion.
The thing that gives you the most energy in the life
is something that you have no natural inclinations for.
I think what you have to do, and this is part of humility,
is you have to look around you within your sphere of influence,
like the direct sphere of influence,
and fix the things that announce themselves as in need of repair.
What's important is that you learn how to distinguish between chaos and order
and to be able to act in a manner that produces order.
The only thing you need to know right now, the point is not to avoid the pain.
You need to stop asking yourself what's the least you can do to get good.
And you need to start asking yourself what's the most you can bear to become great.
The participants reason why is if they know I want to achieve X,
and the reason why the motive for their action, motivation, motive for their action is a reason beyond just themselves.
Chances are there, there will do more to achieve that success than if it was just left up for their own.
But there are some people that are born with incredible drive.
They just have this insatiable drive and they'll just, I'll do whatever it takes for the things that I want.
There's no excuse whatsoever for not getting at what it is that you should be doing.
It's absolutely reprehensible to justify your inaction with a catastrophe that extracts mercy from other people.
And I'm saying that if you know anybody that had some goals, some dream, something they wanted to do,
and they did it, then I'm saying that you know in your heart that it's someone has done it,
then you can do it.
It's possible.
What I say to people who really want to access the transition from ambition to meaning,
if they really want to access it, is to get your thoughts off of yourself.

You gotta try them with a delicious pre-organic coffee, starting with just $1 all day, every day, now until December 31st.
You gotta try, Brett, at participating A&W locations in Ontario.
Once you understand, the whole point is to let the suffering and the pain harden you into becoming
the version of yourself that you need to become in order to execute at the highest level
to be world-class at anything and stop avoiding it, stop being afraid of it, and start
understanding for what it really is, which is the thing that shapes you.
In the game of life, whether it's health, wealth, relationships, career, business, spirituality,
fun experiences, you have to decide what level the game we want to play at?
Is it the great school level, the kindergarten level, the high school level, the university
level, the pro level.
Because each one of those levels requires a totally different mindset and totally different
You have to first take 100% responsible if your life give up being a victim, then you have to get clear about what is my purpose.
One of the biggest fears is of the unknown and uncertainty of the future.
But everything's uncertain.
We're trying to create certainty in an uncertain world and stop being afraid of uncertainty.
Uncertainty is what's exciting.
Like we're sleepwalking through life, that we find ways to cancel out our dreams, and I think that
That but is a dream killer.
That a lot of things that we want to do, a lot of places we would like to go, a lot of things we would like to experience.
And we just stop at but.
But is an argument for our limitations.
And when we argue for our limitations, we get to keep them.
To get so good that you, you cannot be ignored.
Cannot be ignored.
So if you're being ignored, by the way, the world has told you that you've got to be.
told you that you've not yet gotten to where you want to get to you.
And I've seen time and time again that if people do put forward a vision for what they regard as worthy of pursuit,
it's like given the difficult preconditions of existence, is there anything that you could conceive of that you would regard as sufficiently worthwhile so that you would be motivated to pursue it?
What you do is you pick up your past and you embrace
You understand it, you accept it, as I had to go through these things that I had to go through
in order for me to get to this place today, and the evidence for that is that I did.
You don't need any more evidence.
You did.
This is somewhere that I think a lot of people get lost is they don't spend any effort making sure that the thing that they're doing with their life
is actually something that generates excitement, builds excitement, it gives to them more than it takes.
And success, by the way, is not some overnight event.
It's all these little things.
Success is having a vision.
Success is making it compelling.
Success is really seeing and feeling it every day of strong enough reasons.
Success is feeling the sense that I'm here to grow and I'm here to give something to the world
more than just myself.
In your ideal life, you wake up in the morning, energized, you blood is singing and thought
of being who you are and doing what you do.
You know, you face all kinds of problems, but they're really not problems because you don't define them as problems
Only thing that mattered in all of that was you got really good at something and somewhere along the way
We lost that the punchline is no matter what you do to the system you you as an individual need to get
extraordinary at something and so my encouragement to people is go get extraordinary like don't worry about whether the system is broken or not
The knowledge that you are okay, you have always been okay, you will always be okay, you are in the human predicament, when you're in the human predicament stuff happens.
They will be serious illness and death, there will be financial setbacks, they will be career reverses, but you will deal with it from the space of, I'm okay, I will always be okay.
People have hard lives and even people who are comparatively fortunate have hard lives.
The ideal that you're observing that makes you jealous and resentful is in large part an illusion that's created by your own mind.
We have to find a way to construct a narrative about ourselves that empowers us, that lifts us up.
Even though we make mistakes, even though we fall down, even though we're never going to get things right all the time,
and even though terrible things happen for this.
It's failure to check the books.
It's failure to say I'm sorry.
It's failure to push yourself to do things physically that you don't want to do.
And all those little failures day after day come together into one day some cataclysm event happens.
You blame that. That event happened because you missed all the little stuff.
Your life by working harder, time better.
The only way you're going to pull that off is by things.
by thinking differently.
There isn't a better way to live your life.
There's no right way and wrong way.
There is only the way that gives you more energy.
There is only the way that gives you fulfillment.
When you have those things, when you're fulfilled by what you're doing,
and it's giving you the harder you pursue it,
it's giving you more energy, you're on the right path.
You have to get in touch with the way things are no matter of way.
And you have to be able to get in touch with the way that things are,
no matter what the circumstance.
And if you can get in touch with that thing, when you're in a bad circumstance, you can't
in the midst of that circumstance go through it, knowing that it's momented.
And that's why it's so important that you find yourself in the midst of doing something
you are indeed passionate about it.
You have to do what you love, love, and you have to go where your love leads me.
And you can't spend your time doing things that you think you're supposed to be.
thing you're chasing is fulfillment it's the only thing that doesn't sway with the
wind so happiness in its typical definition is very transient so I want to
shift people over to thinking about fulfillment fulfillment is often born of
suffering it's born of not doing something you want to do it's born of doing the
hard things being proud of yourself comes from that being proud of yourself comes
from working your ass off to acquire a set of skills
Oh, you fall in love, you go on a gate.
Something happens and you see things better.
That's why we have to live fully.
That's why we have to follow our bliss and live as much as we can possibly live.
You're quite different from other people, and you shouldn't be comparing yourself to them
because they're not like you.
You know, they don't have your family.
They don't have your temperament.
They don't have your troubles.
They don't have your abilities.
The only person that has those is you compare yourself.
to who you were yesterday and not to who someone else is today.
You make a habit of noticing the abundance of things in the world
because you will begin to believe that there is more than enough.
If you can begin to believe that there is more than enough of everything that we need,
then it will be there for you.
I always tell people, don't wait to be rich.
What is that richness? It's abundance, it's joy, it's happiness, it's contribution, it's getting out of yourself.
What better subject to interrogate, investigate daily?
What's the one character that we should never get bored with chasing to figure out?
What's the one, it's also the one character that we can't get away from ourselves.
It's the one person that we can't get rid of.
I think that if you change some of these poor beliefs, there's a ripple effect,
meaning that if you believe that you are solely responsible for your life,
that you are not a victim, that you are creating your reality, then that change.
changes all these self-beliefs.
If you aren't making the money that you want to make,
or that your relationship is you feel like there's turmoil there,
you're going to have some health challenges or whatever,
if I take responsibility and changes all these singular beliefs
about who's at fault.
I feel like a lot of people give away their power to the family,
to the friends, based on their expectations,
or their opinions of you, how you're going to look,
and what failure is interpreted, and it slows us down.
it slows us down.
It's what tears us apart and challenges us that teaches us the noble virtues of the great
women and men of the world.
The ego says, let me get out of this difficult season as quickly as possible so I can,
you know, eat in nice restaurants and hang out with the cool people and do farm things.
But a bad day for the ego is a great day for the hero inside.
The price of living the truth!
It's gotta be more than this!
Better have a valued goal,
because otherwise you can't get any positive motivation working out.
And so the more valuable the goal, in principle,
the more the micro-process is associated with that goal,
start to take on a positive charge.
And so what that means is, well, you get up in the morning
and you're excited about the day, you're ready to go.
The habits and how you stick with them,
even when you're bored, even when it's not interesting anymore,
anymore long after stopping a plan. The very secret to habits is caring about the thing
that that habit is meant to leave you. But for real, like really what you care about.
Even if I experience defeat a failure, that does not make me a failure. But don't confuse
who you are with the results that you produce. The best feeling, which is to feel good about yourself
when you're by yourself, is to do the hard things and the things that bring fulfillment are often
born of momentary suffering, but they allow you to get stronger in order to serve other people.
Soul set is saying, I'm going to do that deep interior work.
So when I go out in the world, I'm living for a mission, a mighty mission that is larger than myself.
Soul set is about turning down the chattering voice of the ego so you're an instrument of service for many.
Soul set is about developing a rich, robust, undefeatable character.
So that when you go out in the world, you take these stones, your critics throw at you,
and you build them into monuments of master.
That there's a responsibility to freedom and that there is freedom in responsibility.
You know, and that earn your way there.
We remember the stuff we earn.
the stuff we earn, the stuff we experience, more than what the teacher tells us or what someone gives us for free.
Those stick with us.
Whether we forget them intellectually, they were written in our lineage, and they build resilience,
and they build a healthy, true optimism going forward to know that, oh, no, I've worked for something for and achieved it.
Delayed gratification.
Oh, there are choices I can make today for myself that will pay me back later in life.
If you configure your life so that what you are genuinely doing is aiming at the highest possible good,
then the things that you need to survive and to thrive on a day-to-day basis will deliver themselves to you.
Sometimes it's not even about what choice we make.
Just make a choice and commit to it and go and dive in.
Because you can look up in days, weeks, months, years can go by and you go and go, and you go,
I've been tiptoeing around here not committing to anything for so damn long I'm missing out
I could just say we're all just achieving our way to the unachievance if you keep in this wall
enough times I will see that you will not stop that you will fill with that level of determination
faith and courage and then the door opens and you get to that next level then I'll tell you what
changed my whole life when I finally discovered it's all risky if you think
Trying is risky.
Wait till they hand you the bill for not trying.
I'll tell you how risky life is.
You're not gonna get out alive.
Well, if that's the way it's gonna work out, let's give it a go.
Right, that's what it's for.
Give it a go.
Enrich your lives.
Go down these weird rabbit holes.
When a friend invites you to do something super weird, say yes.
Go try it.
That's how you're gonna find this stuff.
But reflecting inward.
But that isn't the first step.
The first step is encountering.
then you can reflect.
You ask yourself, instead of telling yourself, you know,
what is it that I could do to set things more right today
that I would actually do,
then you can go do it.
And then you put the world together a little more
when you do that, and that spreads out,
but you also put your, you also construct yourself
into something that's better able to call order forth from chaos.
And that makes you just,
incrementally stronger and then the next day you can maybe take on a slightly larger
task and at some point instead of just having to fix things up they're not good you'll
start to get a glimmer of the positive things that you could do that would
actually constitute a vision and I realize that the best things that you're going to
create are going to take time build it on cement not sink and sink and same you're
going to get tons and tons and tons of tools here and you're going to want to fast
forward your dream is important enough to outlive you if I knew that I'd gotten myself
into a bad situation and rather than sit there and beat myself up over it I would say
okay you're in a bad situation you got yourself here nobody even blamed you and
now instead of beating myself up over the fact that I got myself into that
situation I am simply going to say only action matters there is another
level the only reason keeps seeing there isn't is you feel so exhausted
about where you are. But life, the universe of God, is just testing you because there is another level.
There's a level where all your dreams are realized. There's a level that you've always dreamed
about. It is real. It has not gone away. But it takes that extra burst when you think there's
nothing left. There's no way. You've tried everything 10 million times and you keep going.
Go get lost. Go explore. Go do things that interest you. Dive deep. You don't know what you want to
pursue, then don't start pursuing something with all your might. It is very okay.
And so I realize that you can't Google download resiliency. You can't Google download tenacity.
You can't Google download forgiveness. There are some of the best qualities and characteristics
that's going to take you a long way that you need to invest time in and energy in and intention in.
You don't just get patience. I realize that as I wanted to develop me, I have to be willing to
climb and I wanted to get to the top and there's no elevator to the top because I got to climb to the top.
We got to climb.
I don't have to be in the mood.
It's my work and I don't have to be motivated and not have to have the muse talk to me.
I simply do this work.
I chop the wood.
I carry the water and then maybe it resonates with people or if it doesn't I learn something and I do it again.
So intention.
Design thinking.
intentional action. If it's a hobby, go for it. It's for you. If it's work, it's ultimately for
other people. But if you seek to make a change in the world, you have to ask three simple questions.
Who's it for? Who specifically am I seeking to change? Who specifically am I building this for?
What's it for? And what change am I seeking to make? Be very clear. It's for people who believe this.
It's for people who want this.
It's for people who are aligned with this.
And after you engage with my work, you will feel differently or you will act differently.
That is the work of the creator.
And we don't want to say any of those things because it puts us on the hook.
And being on the hook feels uncomfortable.
And so we wriggle away.
But I think being on the hook is the best place to be.
It's okay.
Go out, discover, play.
Bumble around, do whatever it takes to begin to discover the things that really give you energy.
That will serve you incredibly well because feeling alive, that's the name of the game.
Outstanding, magnificent, unstoppable, extraordinary, not excellent.
It's a different level.
It's a level where you are not one of the best.
You are the best.
You know what's amazing?
you only have to be 2 million more than everybody else and get everything, all of it.
And it's just 2 million years above and most excellent people give up because they're exhausted.
And there's some people go, the harder I hit it, the more I hit it, sooner or later it's going down.
I'm not stopping.
This is the beginning.
This is the beginning of your radical.
This is the next best step.
This is the first step.
And so I just stop by to let you know you're on the right path.
And as you ramp up, as you ramp up, you're going to have questions, you're going to be afraid.
I do more things afraid now than I do fearless.
Because the bigger you play, the bigger your breakdowns.
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.
Failure, hell, disappointment, discomfort is a great learning to them.
And many people don't understand that.
You know, you've got to take ownership with what's going on in your life.
You're not where you want to be, and you say it's because the boss doesn't like you,
or it's because the girl treated you this way, or the guy did this, like all those things,
you've got to take ownership.
And if you're blaming all of these other external things,
you're not going to make any changes, and that's going to be a problem.
Wishing says to your mind you haven't got a prayer but you might as well wish so when you say to the mind I wish I could it says yeah me too get over it
When other people break and give up and stop I just don't right and it comes down to the story you tell yourself about yourself
Change is really hard I don't think people realize how hard it is because often when they think of change they think about making positive changes
and so you say to people well obviously making that
change would improve your life, so why is it so hard to do?
And the reason is because, first of all, change is hard because change involves loss.
So even though you might be moving to something better, what you do lose is you lose the familiar.
You lose your comfort zone.
And a lot of us are very worried about going into a place of uncertainty, a place that we haven't been before.
So some of us, like sort of human nature, would rather stay in the familiar place, even if the familiar is miserable or unpleasant.
than to say, I'm going to risk something and go to this place that makes me really uncomfortable.
They can't tolerate the discomfort of the uncertainty.
The things I do in life, most of life, you're alone.
You may have a whole support group around you, but up here, you're alone.
Most of the stuff I do, I'm training for that one, those moments.
When you start to dive back in the cellar of your mind and you're pulling out,
all these tactics, all these mental tactics to get through this.
And no one's coming to save you and you get through that.
Going into the darkness, I think everybody is motivated by two different things.
One, you have the beautiful things in your life, the things that are going well,
the things that you're grateful for, the things you're moving towards,
instead of a way you have a compelling vision of your future.
It's something that you're very excited about.
Now the flip side of that equation are the things that people are people who are
that doubt you, it's haters, it's things you're moving away from, it's fear-based things,
it's something that you absolutely refuse to let happen. One that is incredibly potent to me
are the people that want to see me fail. And I find in very acute moments, the darkness
serves you better.
You thought you think, and every word you say forms a blueprint and your mind must work to make
that blueprint real.
Only execution matters.
Burn that into your nervous system.
Do whatever you need to do to remind yourself.
Only execution matters.
When you're working on something you want to achieve,
you have got to stand up to that voice.
You've got to sell yourself every day on your abilities,
on what you're doing, on the goal that you want to reach.
You've got to sell yourself every day.
Every day, every day, every day.
According to your level of belief,
it will manifest itself in what you're doing.
The worst thing in life that happens to a man is that gets similar.
Because you lose the hunger for life.
You think you've arrived.
And once you have a, I've arrived mentality, that's my biggest feeling.
Because I get to point right, I'm at that point where life has come to me
and I have that feeling if I've arrived.
I now know my life for what I know it to be.
I know it to be is over.

You gotta try bread.
Even with a delicious pratt organic coffee, starting with just $1 all day, every day,
now until December 31st.
You gotta try Brett.
I'm participating in A&W locations in Ontario.
Act the code to human potential in myself.
So it's that quiet place.
It's that place by yourself.
It's those hours and years and decades by yourself.
in the grip of life.
The life has you by the throat and choking you out
and you're sitting there calm
because you're trying to figure it out.
You're not panicking.
You're not quitting. You're not throwing the towel.
You're saying there's a way.
Thinking about it, feeling good about it, those are awesome.
But if you have a vision of something you're trying to do,
become whatever and you don't execute against it
and I don't need you to want to build a big business.
What are you doing? How do you define it?
How do you define it?
What are your deliverables?
What are the metrics by which you're judging yourself?
And by the way, if you don't want a grand goal, you don't need one.
But then say, what I'm trying to do is get centered.
I'm trying to experience happiness.
Even that, you can begin to look at ways that you can improve that.
Whatever we have right now, whatever we're demonstrating in our lives, is a result of what
we believe subconsciously that we deserve.
And part of increasing that belief level is that you have got to convince your self.
every day. You can learn all the techniques in the world. If you don't believe in yourself,
it won't happen for you. Right now, between me and the person I want to be, between you and the
person you want to be, there is a gap of skill set, and that's it. But once you know your mission,
and once you believe that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to, then you can do the extraordinary.
I'm telling you right now you're not defined by who you are, you're defined by who you want to become.
Bouncing back, number one, is refusing to listen to the negative shadow of my own head,
creating something from absolutely nothing.
I didn't ask permission, I gave notice.
At some point, I have to stop asking, can I be great?
Can I be brilliant?
Can I be okay and still be accepted?
I just stop asking permission and just gave notice unapologetically,
not in a braggadocious way, not in a way that shrunk anyone else.
a way that said, I only got one life.
And I'm going to ride this one to the wheels fall off.
If you have a passion in your heart, fire in your belly, it's going to be you.
It's going to be you getting up early.
It's going to be you staying up late.
It's going to be you running the miles and going to the gym.
It's only going to be you because outside motivation can only last for so long.
You can hire the greatest trainer in the world.
But ultimately, it's on me.
We must believe that we're working much hard than we actually are.
We think if we got up early for four days, we've earned something.
You got to drop your entire mindset.
It's dead weight.
We believe it worked harder than we actually have.
Trust me, most of us have it.
The one thing in life we've got to realize is this.
Learn to help yourself.
Don't count other people to help you.
is to open yourself to the possibility that everything isn't the way it appears to be.
And so even if you can just open yourself to that possibility, just for a moment,
you can pick up it all the next day, you can take it all with you the next day,
that it's all real and everything that you're seeing.
But if you just for a moment open to the possibility that things might not be the way that you think they are,
then you have the greatest opportunity to really discover
something incredible how incredible you are.
It drives me nuts.
Everybody thinks they're gonna turn inside like an archaeologist
and find that thing their deepest passion,
the thing they always love, hiding inside.
As soon as you say it, I hope it sounds ridiculous,
that you would love something that much
and yet somehow be blind to it?
It doesn't work like that.
It's like real love.
You've got to go on a date first.
You see somebody you're interested in.
You talk to them.
It sparks something.
spend time you engage and through that process of engaging with it maybe if you're lucky it turns
into a fascination but if you really want a passion you've got to go through the process of gaining
mastery we had to keep doing the work to get to a place where we could be here and that's the
thing that i think people miss is like you have to keep going you don't even know who you're
going to be you don't know who you're going to be half a decade from now or
10 years from now because you you stop like why am I successful and other people who want the same things
and start at the same time aren't because when they heard note they listen but faith is believing in
the unseen anyway so i had enough faith to go i know like i know like i know like i know like i know
i don't necessarily have to see it yet because i choose not to ever be a victim i cannot choose
whether I'm victimized but I have the ability to say I will never be a victim
because there's always something you can do differently there is always
something you can do differently you are celebrated in the light for what you do
in the dark like what you do before anyone else is awake what you do when no one is
looking that's what you're celebrated for and nobody else can force you to do
that that's gonna be on you if you would just think
about what you want, that's all you'd ever get in your life.
Every time I believe goes out, you feel completely free.
You know, it's an amazing, amazing feeling.
You just feel as light as a feather, and actually you're feeling invincible.
Tell me how holding on to all the reasons, all the excuses,
all the justification for why your life sucks, tell me how I'm serving you.
Has it made your life better?
Has it given you more access?
Has it given you more friends?
Has it propelled you forward? Has it given you strength? Or did it suck the life out of you?
After the word I am is true to your unconscious mind. Anything. Anything after I am. Anything after I am.
No, it's not true. Your conscious mind will believe it. Anything after I am. So the use of affirmations is very intentional and very consistent.
And once you understand that you can always make a different choice and get a different reaction.
And that's the power in your life.
That's the power that you have.
It's no matter what's going on, you can choose to think differently, believe differently, see differently.
We all got excuses.
We can hold on to them all day long, or we can say, you know what?
I'm not giving that power anymore.
All these dungeons that we've created, all these trap doors that our life has created,
most of the time we quit is because we don't have any mental tools to get us through the other side.
Here's the problem I find most people have.
They judge themselves to the lens of a moment.
They fail at something.
And they think that defines who they are.
Right now, you're not defined by who you are,
you're defined by who you want to become.
Here's the reality.
You're going to 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.
They haven't come true.
Why not?
Because they're brutally difficult.
The world is going to resist you.
It is not going to be easy to overcome entropy, to overcome inertia.
The only way that you're going to overcome that stuff is to go all out every day knowing
that it's going to take a long time.
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.
need to have a vision and you need to be in love with that vision. It needs to captivate you.
Because frankly, if you ain't in love with it, you're not going to get up in the morning
day after day after day and do what it takes to create or manifest your desires. But what
does work is this idea of inspired action. Now most people talk themselves out of going
for their great big vision because they're like, how am I going to even style? I don't even
know. It seems to be so complicated and of course it is. Because from
that level of understanding where we're at now, it's impossible to know the myriad, the thousands of
steps that are going to take us to where we want to get to. The next step is always revealed.
If you are focusing on your vision and you're visualising and you're dreaming of it, your unconscious
mind can't help that give you solutions and they will flash in your mind as insights. They are
revealed step by step by step and all you need to do is keep going, keep flying, keep a smile on your
face and enjoy the adventure because the adventure is where the joy
is to be happy.
You don't know enough so that your life isn't going to be miserable.
And so every chance you get to grab something new that will help you along your way, you
should take it as fast as you can.
Every day, everything I'm doing, I'm asking why can't it be done faster?
Why can't I accomplish more right now?
That it's not okay to put something off even until tonight.
I need to do it right now.
And if you're trying to do shortcuts, all of that's going to fail because none of that
is playing the long game but if ever you're allowing yourself to slow down
because you simply are acknowledging that this stuff takes time I'm telling
you it's never going to work you've got to go all out you've got to create
momentum so stop saying I'll be happy when I'll be happy when I've got this
I'll be happy when this changes focus instead on being really really happy in
the moment it's quiet your mind the thinker and realize that that voice that's
constantly telling you this ship wrong, you need to fix this, you need to do that,
when it will not actually be that accurate.
Each of us has to realize that all of the beliefs that we have in our life are choices.
The scary part about the most important beliefs in your life is most of them are invisible.
Many times in life, people don't get what they want and they need because they don't aim at it.
And it's a hard lesson for people to learn because they're cynical to begin with.
and they presume that there's no possible way of moving forward.
But it's not so unreasonable to assume that you're not going to hit what you don't aim at,
or you're not going to hit what you aim at and don't shoot at.
If we do sit and contemplate a problem, we will come to some truth
that many other people come to in similar situation.
Whatever you're trying to accomplish, it takes a very long time.
And so if you go into it and you're playing this short-term game game, chances are you're going to do things that are damaging to your reputation long-term
That to me is not patience
That to me is playing the long game you want to play the long game you want to be authentic you want to be a good person
You want to do good things from people you want to invest in other people not because you're being patient
Because patient to me is a very passive position. It's saying look I'm not
going to like go all out today because at the end of the day this is going to take time this is a
marathon it's not a sprint and so i need to pace myself that's what people hear when you tell them to be
patient i know because i've seen it play out yes there's things wrong there've been things wrong with our
lives for millenniums my god maybe for lifetimes okay but each time we're getting better each time
look at the upper side look at the past people there's something good that's being done and
when you move forward don't be afraid put your message out there
So many people are afraid to put their message out because well that might be too much this way too much that way
Be free
You free to speak your word if someone doesn't agree that's their problem
But don't put anybody down for saying their word
We weren't afraid we believe in ourselves with all the doors closed we kept on going forward
When the going's tough the tough get going
No reason simply because of your age that you should not be after that you can't be hustling is it 18 is it 28 is it 38 is it 38? It's a
ridiculous because there isn't a number if you've got the desire to win if you
want to be somebody if you want to make your dreams come true I don't care if
you're 12 years old or 82 years old your age is irrelevant it's a form of
ageism to tell a young person just be patient well you can't invent values
they're already built into you you have to discover them and I think that's
true for each person it's like well what would justify you in the
abandonment of your resentment and hostility and it's hard to say what that
would be for each of you it's something that you can discover so the first thing
I'd I'd invite you to do is say to yourself am I really head over heels in
love with my vision like do I get up in the morning if you could shit this is
absolutely I'm gonna commit myself today because this is this is I can't
imagine anything bigger or better for my life and if you ain't there yet I'd
invite you to keep asking the questions until you get to that point your
more likely to believe something negative than you are something positive.
Question is, well, is there something that you can pursue that allows that to be acceptable
or perhaps even desirable, which is something to do that justifies the suffering?
Now, the reason that most people never start is because they don't think that they're going to
get a result from their actions. And then that's going to come down to a belief that they believe
about themselves. The hard thing is taking the first step. Everything else is just persistence.
Two and five Canadians will hear the words, you have cancer. That's why every step and dollar-raised
