Absolute Motivation - Wake Up & Take Charge: Stop Wasting Your Life

Starting point is 00:00:07 Some people will allow to unnerve you and you wonder what's wrong with me? I'm not crazy. That's why you've got to learn to make a conscious, deliver, determined effort to stand up inside yourself. Working on yourself, watching that inner dialogue, it will determine the quality of your life. Realists are not afraid to look at the harsh circumstances of life. They sharpen their eye by paying keen attention to details, to people's intentions, to the dark realities hiding behind any glamorous surface. And you've got to learn how to tune out the critics outside and the critic inside.

Starting point is 00:00:47 You are more alone than you imagine. This should not be a source of fear, but a freedom. When you prove to yourself that you can get things on your own, then you experience a sense of liberation. You are no longer waiting for people to do this or that for you. a frustrating and infuriating experience. You have confidence that you can manage any adverse situation on your own. Think of it this way.

Starting point is 00:01:21 Dependency is a habit that is so easy to acquire. We live in a culture that offers you all kinds of crutches, experts to turn to, drugs to cure any psychological unease, mild pleasures to help pass or kill time, jobs to keep you just above water, It is hard to resist. But once you give in, it is like a prison you enter that you cannot ever leave.

Starting point is 00:01:46 You continually look outward for help, and this severely limits your options and maneuverability. When the time comes, as it inevitably does, when you must make an important decision, you have nothing inside of yourself to depend on. But in the end, the most important thing is what's the purpose of your life? Why are you here? here is you got to jump.

Starting point is 00:02:14 You got to take that guilt that's packed away on your back. You got to jump off that cliff and pull that corn. You can play it safe and deal without the cuts and the tags. And you can stand on that clip of life forever safe. But if you don't jump, I got another promise I can make you. Impasse you will never hold it. You'll never know. You're gonna take a beat, you're gonna get locked out, you gotta get up, but you gotta work hard

Starting point is 00:02:46 This 24 out belongs to me, and whatever I'm doing this 24 hour will determine where I'll be tomorrow In the neck day and I think that's what people need to focus on like get off of this I want to make six figures I want to drive this car I'm gonna live in this hour I think what people should be focusing on is I have 24 hours like Oprah only has 24 Bill Gates only has 24 Like Warren Buffett only has 24 hours, and in that 24-hour period, I can either break my life or make my life. Strength isn't always about standing with a crowd. It's about standing alone when you have to. When the world gets quiet and it feels like no one sees your struggle, remember this.

Starting point is 00:03:30 Every great warrior has faced battles alone. Use that solitude to grow, to focus, and to become unstoppable. You don't need anyone's approval to rise. Your strength is enough. So listen to me. There are those of you who said, I want to be a millionaire. I want to be the best of this company, right? But your value system says you believe in sleep more than you believe in grinding. Your value system says you are a consumer and not a producer. That you're spending more money than you're making. Why? Because you're concerned, but you're reading all the books and you're saying everything the books are safe. But those books are not in alignment with your value. If you're going to go, you're going to go.

Starting point is 00:04:11 to the next level your values are going to have to change. And good intentions are never enough in this world. You need to be fearless and strategic. You're driven by your need to please others. If you're driven by your fear, if you're driven by your past, maybe it's time to free yourself. And the way to do it is decide. Decide consciously what you want your life to be about.

Starting point is 00:04:39 Decide consciously. What's the purpose of your life? I will not go gently into that good night. I will rage, rage against the dying of the light. I will practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty because minds are like parachutes and the only function went open and Timothy Leary was right. In order to use your head, you've got to go out of your mind.

Starting point is 00:05:02 Attention. If you believe as Carl Sagan did, that understanding is a kind of ecstasy. If you are hungry for the sublime, learn to control your attention. Learn to control your mind. your thoughts because you created the linguistic choices the very words you use to map your reality feedback into your reality you are the painting you are the paintbrush you are the canvas

Starting point is 00:05:43 you are the question you are the answer to the question you are looking for you are also my friends the question you are everything we are everything we are sentenced we are consciousness the most sublime miraculous thing in the universe so you better be having a good time and authoring your fate Turn your life into a living and breathing work of art because anything less will be attracted. Only after we've lost ever, we're free to do anything. Being alone isn't a weakness. It's a proving ground. It's where you discover what you're truly made of.

Starting point is 00:06:25 When no one is there to lift you, you learn to lift yourself. In the silence, you find your power. Stand tall, even when it's just you. Because sometimes, that's all you need to conquer the world. Thank you.
