Starting point is 00:00:03 If a person would sit down and let their body relax, totally relax, and then start to visualize in their mind, see themselves the way they want to see themselves. See how you'd like to live your life. See yourself living it that way. Now understand that that's a picture in your mind. And then take that picture and describe it, write it out. In the present tense, start to read it and read it and read it and read it every day.

Starting point is 00:00:33 carry it around and keep reading it. The one point that all the great teachers, all down through history, have all agreed on, they've been in complete unanimous agreement on it, we become what we think about. Now, it may be fantasy at first, it might even appear to us as being a lie, but if you read it often enough, you'll start to believe it. Art is art about change is not making the same choice as you did the day before. And the moment you decide to make a different choice you're going to feel uncomfortable because you're stepping from the known into the unknown see you can do anything you can get up any hour read any book take any class make any change develop any skill do any discipline i mean you can do it all when this how and the why

Starting point is 00:01:19 or when the why starts to grow the how gets simple most challenges opposition adversity that we encounter are intern even though on the surface it looks to be external Because when you come up against something, whether it be a person, situation, or circumstance, in perception, our perspective will go to a space in place that is external. When the course and the path to victory is interim, meaning we possess everything we need in order to be victorious over the things that we encounter. But we look at problems, situations, circumstances, adversities as something to be external, when really is something that's internal because we possess everything we already need.

Starting point is 00:02:03 in order to get through it. There's a peculiar magic in realizing you're not the same person who started the journey. It's not a loss of who you were. Rather, it's an evolution into the person you are always meant to become. Embrace the transformation. Fear is a mile wide and an inch deep. And so it looks like this ocean that you're going to step into and drown. But as soon as you step into it, you realize it was not that deep at all, and you can keep walking through it.

Starting point is 00:02:30 Face your fears, whatever you're going to be. your fears, whatever they are, the fear that we might not do a good job, the fear that it might not turn out as we hope it would, the fears that are lurking there, some that have come and have been there even maybe since our childhood. Life is consisted of both fear and faith. Faith, of course, is the ability to overcome your fears. But what you have to do in terms of your fears about perhaps your own inadequacy, not feeling strong enough at the moment, you You just have to face those fears. You just have to go to work on it.

Starting point is 00:03:05 The pursuit of your goals will rarely be easy. You're going to feel discomfort, frustration, and self-doubt most of the time. But instead of getting discouraged, understand that there's growth in the struggle. You can't become someone you've never been by doing the things you've always done. Be proud of the effort you're putting in. Be patient with the results because it's only a matter of time before you come out on top. part of life. You know, we were made to evolve and grow and that means you're going to outgrow people. That means you're going to outgrow situations and places and things and that is okay.

Starting point is 00:03:43 Most people will not understand your obsession, your drive, and your determination. Success is a lonely journey. That's just a reality. And most people are not going to understand why you're so driven, while you're so obsessed. And if you try and make them understand, you're going to end up frustrated. The best advice I can tell you is go on the journey by yourself. It is the best journey, man, leveling up, becoming the best version of yourself is the most awesarest journey you will ever go on. But it's a journey that you will probably go on by yourself. You'll always have to be the person who roots for you before everyone else does. And it's usually a single clap in the auditorium for a very long period of time.

Starting point is 00:04:25 It is a slow clap that's just you rooting for you. Sometimes sitting there thinking about the life that you want to live and the person you want to be and the simply isn't enough. If thinking about all the things that you want in your life isn't enough to get you going, why don't you sit there and think about the things that you don't want? All the feelings you don't want to experience. All the pain you don't want to feel. If you just can't visualize the bright future ahead of you, why don't you sit there and contemplate all the darkness that you're going to be surrounded by if you don't do what you need to do? like sitting on your deathbed wishing you could do it all over again differently, but you can't. Wishing you had done what you need to do now when it's too late to do it.

Starting point is 00:05:05 Ask yourself the question, what does the future look like if I don't do what I know I need to do? Once you take that first step, you've looked the beast in the face and you'll start progressing, not linearly, but exponentially in speed. So what's cool is that it doesn't really matter how small that first step is, because it'll start doubling and anything that doubles grows unbelievably quickly. And so that's a very useful thing to know too. I think the bigger question is do you know yourself? You know, I think like there's unlimited people who are successful and happy that got straight A's and there's unlimited people who are successful and happy who got Ds and F's. The question is who are you? Which version of the game are you?

Starting point is 00:05:51 What do you like? Who do you want to be? And I think that's what you need to focus on. You cannot wish for a strong character and an easy life. Each is the price of the other. What if what you're going through isn't hard? What if you're just sensitive? At some point, you have to forget what other people think about you. Nothing you do has to make sense to anyone else. Your dreams don't have to align with what others think is best for you

Starting point is 00:06:20 because you're the one who has to live with the consequences of your actions. Start prioritizing your happiness above being a people pleaser. It's your turn to be the main character of your story.
